Senator should unleash bill

Dear Editor: For those who have not heard. Senator Fair of the Indiana State Senate, has refused to assign a bill which would legalize the controversial agent laetrile as a last resort cancer agent to committee and, until he does so, it is dead. The senator apparently has some qualms about legalizing laetrile, which is currently banned by the Federal Drug Administration, but would make a decision on it himself rather than allow hearings to be held in the Senate and have a vote taken. Regardless of how one feels about laetrile. also known as vitamin B-17, this action by the leader of the Indiana Senate is untenable. This is surely a controversial issue, but the Hoosier House did not have any trouble debating it and reaching its conclusion three weeks ago when it overwhelmingly passed the measure 85-10. W'hat Senator Fair is attempting to do is to make a decision on the bill for the entire citizenry of Indiana, who are represented by the Senators from whom Fair is keeping the bill. If the senator is opposed to the measure, and he has expressed fear that it would be used as a

Food at work for you

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN « Extension Agent, Home Ec Nutrition is the way your body uses the food you eat. People differ in how much they want to know about nutrition, but everyone needs to know a few facts about food and health as a basis for selecting the right foods to eat. You need food to get energy for work and play, to move, to breathe, to keep the heart beating - just to live. Children and youth need energy from food to support growth Food also provides a variety of substances - nutrients - that are essential for the building, the igjkeep, and the repair of body tissues, and for the efficient functioning of the body. Foods vary in the amounts and kinds of nutrients they contain. No one food provides all the nutrients needed for growth and repair. The best guide to assure yourself that you are getting your nutritional needs is the Basic Four Food Group. The Basic Four Guide sorts foods into four groups on the basis of their similarity in nutrient content. Each of the broad food groups has a special contribution to make toward an adequate diet. Milk group • adults two or more glasses, children three or more; Meat group -two or more servings; Vegetable and fruits • four or more servings; bread and cereals - four or more servings.

“first resort'' rather than a last, that is fine, and he should express his opinion and allow the Indiana Senate to weigh it for whatever it is worth. But to attempt to stifle the debate which would come from the rest of the Senate and from the public during hearing at committee level, is absurd. I do, however, lean towards the “freedom of choice” argument, which would allow patients, once given the facts on laetrile, to decide for themselves. But I feel that Senator Fair is doing an injustice to the citizens of Indiana by attempting to tuck this bill away (HB 1405). The legislative process was designed to weed out bad bills and bring forth the good ones. I urge the president pro tern to allow the process to work rather than attempt to stifle it because of his own feelings in the matter. Legislature gave Women Equal Rights and motorcycle riders the “freedom of choice” to wear helmets (already passed by both houses). Why not have cancer patients to have the same? It’s a shame government gives rights for abortion, taking away life, but not giving the right to have freedom of choice in cancer therapy to live more comfortably even if their life is not prolonged Pat Speicher 7
