Jurss said she did not think social issues contributed to an increased interest in the league in Kosciusko County. Rather, “It is educational.” She felt that women who had previously been busy “raising children” had not had time to read newspapers and keep aware of current events. One of the first projects of the league, on a local level, will be a survey of county community service, boards and agencies. The larger goal of the league, Jurss said, is to educate people on political issues and views of candidates running for office. They also try to activate citizens into holding political office, and monitoring meetings, such as school boards and city councils. The state level of the league lobbies for league interests. Jurss explained the organization is non-partisan and does not campaign for individual candidates However, they do encourage members to campaign independently of the league. The fee to join the league entitles the member to state and national newspapers and a local bulletin Further information may be obtained from Mary Jurss or Donna Scattaloni. Warsaw.

Read the labels Next time you are in the supermarket, take a careful look at the labels of the foods you buy. The label serves as the “window" of the package. The kind of food that is in the can or box is revealed by the label with its description, picture, and other valuable information. It is no accident that certain basic information appears on every package. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Fair packaging and labeling act specify a list of facts that labels must include. The name of the product must be on all food labels. All printing must be in clearly readable type. Other required information includes: quantity in ounces, or pounds, the name and address of the manufacturer and a list of ingredients. If a standard of identity has been established and the product meets the basic standard, labeling is not required. Nutritional labeling is required on foods that are fortified or enriched with nutrients and those that make nutritional claims. This information is of no use to the consumer unless it is read. Labels give important nutritional information. So the next time you are shopping take time to read the label for helps in providing your family with nutritional meals at a lower cost.
