Apples: American favorite

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent Today, as in colonial times the apple is one of America's favorite fruits. The versatile apple can lend appeal to a variety of main dishes, side dishes, salads, breads, desserts, and beverages. It also makes a delicious lowcalorie snack contributing about 80 calories for a medium size apple Apples are of value to the diet for several reasons. They contain small amounts of some important vitamins and minerals Remember the old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That’s because apples provide dietary fiber which is necessary for normal functioning of the intestinal tract.

The large assortment of apples available on the market provides a variety for every need. Some apple varieties are especially suited for a particular method of preparation. In general, apples that disintegrate when cooked are usually best for applesauce, those that keep their shape are best for baking whole. Tart apples are good for cooking; sweeter apples are good for eating raw or in salads. When purchasing apples, select those which are firm, bright colored, and free from defects such as bruises, skin breaks and decayed spots. Store apples properly to

students. During that year, rural public schools spent less per pupil than metro central or suburban public schools in all categories except transportation. The report shows that rural students attend schools with fewer support staff and services, less revenue and less funding per pupil. Rural students are also more likely to enroll in school later, progress through school more slowly, complete fewer school years and score lower on national tests than students attending metro area schools.

Ripe apples should be stored in the humidifier compartment of the refrigerator or in a moistureresistant container, such as a polyethylene bag. If storing in a bag in the refrigerator, let a few scattered small holes in the bag to permit ventilation. Apples stored in the refrigerator should be used within a few weeks for optimum quality.

Letters to the editor A total person

Dear Editor: In last week’s column, “Came Away Disappointed” by E. F. Rogers, he had many good thoughts, but drew his own conclusions concerning spending. I also attended the public meeting at Wawasee High School where the public had a chance to ask the candidates any questions concerning their views, intentions and policies. I appreciate what E. F. Rogers has done — he attended the meeting and took the time to make his thoughts knowa through his editorial. This is what more of us need to do. A candidacy against any future spending by the school corporation would no doubt be a very popular stand. Spending also concerns me, more so the dollar value received. I am not so naive to believe that my candidacy or any other alone is enough to reverse the many years of spending policy. The first step in evaluating the spending policy is to have open dialogue between the community and the school corporation, and not until this is done is the community in a position to take effective action. The public meeting with the candidates was indicative of each candidate’s willingness for an open dialogue. I saw no reason for anyone to leave the meeting with any unanswered questions, Swap Day set By BETH BURKE The annual Wawasee High School Swap Day will be held Thursday, Nov. 16. The day will provide a learning experience for parents as well as students. The purpose of Swap Day is to give parents of the Lakeland community a chance to see and participate in classroom activities. The staff of Wawasee has requested that those attending be parents of the students or a person in the community who is desirous of learning more about the school program. All those attending must be 21 years of age and a responsible adult.

Replacement funds received by county

expecially when the moderator at the end of the meeting expressed a willingness to receive any impromptu questions from the floor and there was no response. My first pre-requisite is to preserve the in-depth and comprehensive programs Lakeland School corporation has afforded this community, and second, as I stated Monday night at the public meeting, I feel future expenditures must be justifiable. In all fairness, there was the community when the Lakeland School Corporation published its intentions to dump large chunks of money into buildings and equipment? I do not believe that the school corporation wants to graduate prospective employees only. I would hope their aim would be to graduate a total person with a rounded education, the ability to live with others, find value in themselves and to be successful in their chosen career. R. L. Morgan School Board Candidate — High & Low Heating units for the home should be located along the outside wall for the most effective results. Air conditioning outlets, on the other hand, should be in or near the ceiling because cold air falls. Don’t combine the two systems —a compromise usually reduces effectiveness of either the heating or the cooling. Unemployment claims increase The Indiana Employment Security Division said that the number of unemployment insurance claims filed last week rose 2,158 to 26,934. Scattered layoffs caused small increase in initial claims while previous layoffs and the full work week following the Columbus Day holiday caused continued claims to rise. Initial claims numbered 4,850, up 200 from the week before. All regular claims totaled 26,914, up by 2,155. You spent $80.60 on fast food in 'll Americans spent more than sl7 billion in fast food restaurants last year, according to the US Department of Commerce. That’s $80.60 worth of burgers, pizza, chicken, and the like, for every man, woman and child in the country. The Commerce Department reports that McDonald’s is far and away the fast food champion with a 19.6 per cent share of the market. Kentucky Fried Chicken is second, with a 6.8 per cent share.

bringing to $143,305,065.20 the amount distributed by the department of revenue to the 92 counties from property tax replacement. The $143.3-million figure represents the fall portion of 20 per cent tax replacement based upon tax rate figures provided by the state board of tax commissioners. This reduction will be apparent to local property taxpayers on their 1978 property tax bills which are payable in November. Ruth Rapp moving to Brownsburg Mrs. Ruth Rapp, a resident of Syracuse for 53 years and a former first grade teacher in the area, will soon be moving to Brownsburg to reside with her daughter, Susanne Overman, and family.
