MPOPCORN FACTS? FANCIES

Lots of things start popping when summer’s past . . .including popcorn. Fall’s the peak season for popcorn sales and consumption. The pleasure of popcorn isn’t new. Five-thousand-year-old popcorn ears have been discovered in New Mexico. Just as many Americans prefer popcorn, popcorn appears to prefer America. Attempts to grow

it in Europe and North Africa have failed to produce a product as excellent as ours. Popcorn has no sugar, additives, or preservatives. It’s economical ... a quart of popped popcorn costs pennies per serving . . . it’s high in fiber and low in calories . . . only 25 to 55 calories in a cup of unbuttered popcorn.

Time to think 'spring'

Even though we are approaching winter, it is time to be tbjjikii,g about planting trees next spring. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced its tree planting program for 1980-81. For those who are not familiar with the program, IDNR offers a list of common trees and shrubs for sale. People must plant the trees for certain purposes. Contact the Soil Conservation Service or Cooperative Extension Office for an order blank. People can also contact the Jasper-Pulaski State Nursery directly. One of the main reasons to plant trees is to eventually earn an income when they are harvested. Before planting the trees, a person needs to obtain the advice of a forester or other qualified individuals. The soils on a site will greatly determine which tree , types should be planted. A good example is willow trees which are planted on very poorly drained soils as compared to walnut trees which grow best on well-drained soils. The soil survey for Kosciusko county is about 85 per cent completed. Thus, soils information is available to help plan tree planting projects. Through the life of a tree, the landowner must be aware of management needs. In existing woods, we commonly see grapevines and other undesirable growth, large, overgrown trees and crowding conditions. Neglect has caused these problems to occur. And until these problems are corrected, the productivity of the woods is considerably reduced, and when you reduce productivity, so also is potential income reduced. There are other important reasons for planting trees and shrubs. Wildlife benefit greatly by having forested acres with food sources available. In the past 20 years, we have witnessed fence rows and woodland acres cleared. As a result, the wildlife populations have been reduced and shifted to the remaining forested and cover areas. Good woodland management techniques will allow the outer 40 feet of woods to go unmanaged so as to create a thick cover condition. This not only provides cover, but also protects the interior of the woods from wind damage. Wildlife would rather remain in these outside perimeter areas than to go deep into the woods. Erosion control is the third benefit. There are many factors which determine how lands will erode. In general, the steeper a land area is, the more it will erode if all other factors are the same.

Reagan — (Continued from page 1) percentage of people supporting me. Also, I was pleased with the state and nation-wide turnout. It makes you feel we’ve done a good job and that the people wanted a change. I was pleased with the votes and astounded by the Noble County win since they had their own candidate.” Mauzy said he was very pleased to ‘‘win like that and it makes you feel good that the voters eame out and had faith in me. I have had close contact with my constituants and I do what I can for them. I’m very pleased.” Reagan’s victory was projected as early at 6:30. However, the landslide was a surprise to many as polls on Monday night showed Reagan and Carter tied or gave Reagan only a slight edge. Later in the evening, however, it was noted Carter workers informed him Monday night of the fact he would not win re-election. The vote yesterday was heavy with many precincts reporting over 80 per cent turn out. Temperatures ranged in the 50’s in Indiana with some clouds in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon. A conventionally heavy turnout is usually in favor of the Democrats. This was not true on Tuesday. American voters seemed to be echoing the conservative Republican theme, “It’s Time for a Change.” Early in the evening the only state in the Carter column was his native state of Georgia. He also carried Vice President Walter Mondale’s home state of Minnesota. Reagan people noted thj? voters were saying they want a major change — less government spending and less government interference. Even before the polls closed in California both Carter and John Anderson, call Reagan in his home state to concede the election. Carter appeared in the Sheraton Hotel in Washington, D. C., around 10 o’clock and told workers there he couldn’t say it didn’t hurt but the people of the United States had made their choice and he would accept their decision. He noted he has deep appreciation for the system that allows people to make a choice. Carter commended Vice President Mondale for his help.

Jone excellent alternative to controlling erosion is to plan tye land to trees. In the long run, the* trees provide an income to the landowner and will not require the high outlay of dollars to prepare the ground for crops eachyear. Finally, trees and shrubs are planted for windbreaks. While farmers are concerned that land would he taken from cron

Gad News Dept. Huge Deposits of Domestic Energy Await Discovery

There is still domestic oil and gas to be found. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, waters surrounding Alaska alone could contain up to 18 billion barrels of oil and as much as 60 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. These potential additions amount to 55 percent of currently proven oil reserves and 30 percent of proven gas reserves in the U.S. Although there may well be huge deposits of domestic oil and gas waiting to be discovered, declines in production from existing fields are expected to more than offset production from new fields. These are finite resources

Most cured meat found free of nitrosamines

Hot dogs, corned beef, ham and most other nitrite-cured meat products do not form nitrosamines when cooked, according to studies released today by Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman. Nitrosamines, which have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals, can form when the heat of cooking makes the nitrite in cured products combine with naturally occurring amines in meat. Nitrite is used in curing to prevent the formation of botulism toxin, which causes a deadly food poisoning. Most cured products tested did not contain confirmable nitrosamines, Foreman said, when fried, broiled, boiled, baked or microwaved. Nevertheless, USDA will continue to gather information on those products, she said, and if unexpected problems are found, appropriate action will be taken. The nitrosamine studies were done in response to an October 1977 USDA request for information on whether nitrite cures cause nitrosamines to form during processing or cooking. Six categories of cured products were tested. Some products were cooked before testing, but those

He called America the greatest nation on earth —a special country, noting, “God has been good to me. God has been good to this country. I wanted to serve as president because I love this country and the people of this nation. I am disappointed tonight but I have not lost either love. ” Carter displayed no bitterness and seeks to have the best transition ever from his administration to that of Reagan. As the Republicans swept the nation with victories from coast to coast Indiana led the way, being the first state in Reagan’s pocket. Shortly after the polls closed at 6 p.m. ABC gave Indiana’s 13 electoral votes to the man who is to become this nation’s next president. “I feel great — it’s unbelievable” were Reagan’s first remarks as he appeared before a large crowd at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. He thanked everyone and noted there “never has been a more humbling moment in my life!” He said he had been expecting a cliff-hanger. Reagan said the people had given him a sacred trust and he gave his oath to justify that faith. The president-elect pledged a true partnership with his vice president, George Bush of Texas. “We’re going to put America back to work again,” he said as he commented on the great American spirit that has survived much. He told those listening to him he would be happy to have their prayers in the days ahead. Both Reagan and Bush called for national unity. While Carter backers believed the Iranian situation hurt him no one except Bush spoke about the situation there. Bush said he hoped the country could soon join in a celebration of freedom for the Americans being held in Iran. Chain saws stolen from Syracuse farm Three chain saws were stolen from the Gaylord Jones farm, in a wooded area, on US 6 and SR 13, Syracuse, on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 1. Owner Jack Wells, Syracuse, reported the incident to Kosciusko County Police. Wells was cutting firewood and left the chain saws unattended for a short time. When he returned, someone had made off with a McCullough, a Poulan and Sears chain saw.

that must be supplemented by other available energy sources such as coal and nuclear, which have yet to be fully developed. As long as environmental and regulatory roadblocks remain in place, even finding new deposits of fossil suel —which can be located in high-risk, remote, and even environmentally hostile places - will remain a slow and costly endeavor. Indeed, the political climate characterized by onerous taxes on domestic production, and which nurtures name-calling and obstruction, does little to make the good news better.

usually eaten without further preparation — such as bologna — were not cooked. However, surveys on immersion cured bacon indicate that a nitrosamine problem may exist, Foreman said. Additional samples of this product — made by soaking pork bellies in cures until the solution is absorbed — are being studied. Further action will depend on the results, she said. In a related action, USDA’s Food Safety and Quality Service issued a proposal to extend its nitrosamine monitoring program to include dry cured bacon — made by applying dry salt and nitrite to pork bellies. The program now monitors only the most common type of bacon — made by injecting liquid cures into the bellies. “Information collected by the agency shows a significant proportion of dry cured bacon appears to be adulterated with confirmable levals of nitrosamines,” Foreman said. “The Federal Meat Inspection Act requires that USDA prevent the marketing of adulterated meat. Therefore, we are issuing this proposal even though the product accounts for less than

Milford Lions contribute $2,302 to new building Milford Lions cleared $2,302.97 at their consignment auction, held Saturday, Sept. 13 and donated the money toward the town’s new community building. This fact was made known Monday night at the club’s regular meeting, held at the Milford United Methodist Church dining room, as reported by treasurer Lion Dave Siegfried. Lion Siegfried said there were 112 registered buyers and 40 consignees. A total of $17,322.81 was taken in, including $225.56 on food. According to Lion Dean Cousins, who had charge of this second annual consignment auction, SI,OOO was recei. ed from the sale of donated items. Ladies* Night Club president Paul Reith noted that the Monday, Nov. 17, meeting will be ladies’ night, to be held at Das Dutchman Essenhaus near Middlebury. He also said District Governor Gene Downhour will make his visitation meeting to the Milford cltib on December 1.

Doctor recertified in family practice

Dr. Steven M. Yoder, associated with Syracuse Family Practice, Inc., has been recertified as a di pl ornate of the American Board of Family Practice as a result of passing a recertification examination offered by the ABFP. His recertification enables him to maintain his specialist status in the medical specialty of family practice. ABFP diplomates must continue to show proof of competence in the field of comprehensive, continuing care of the family by being recertified every six years. No other medical specialty requires diplomates to prove 'competence on a continuing basis. The written examination is designed to prove the candidate’s continuing competence in the various components of family practice including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry and community medicine. To qualify initially for certification, a physician must have successfully completed three years of residency training in family practice and passed an intensive two-day certification examination. Recertification must occur within seven years of initial certification.

one per cent of the bacon marketed. “The monitoring program for pumped bacon, underway since December 1978, is designed to assure consumers that the product does not contain confirmable nitrosamines,” Foreman said. “Extending the program would offer those who eat dry cured bacon the same assurance.” The proposal on dry cured bacon would also require such bacon be sufficiently dry and salted to prevent growth of bacteria that cause food poisoning, especially botulism. This requirement is needed because manufacturers may decrease the amount of nitrite and thereby lose anti-botulism protection in their effort to avoid nitrosamine formation, according to Foreman. “To help industry meet the proposed requirements for dry cured bacon,” said Foreman, “USDA would provide technical consultation to firms requesting it, as was done when we began checking pumped bacon. “The actions we are taking today are related only to nitrosamines and not to the safety of nitrite,” Foreman said.

STRAIGHT TALK Teeth A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHODONTISTS

Surgical orthodontics is a special field involving a team effort between the orthodontist and the oral surgeon. It is used to correct severe cases of dental and facial deformity. Patients with such problems often complain that their jaws are too long or too short or that they have “buck teeth,’’ “Dick Tracy Jaw” or “not enough chin.” In severe cases, psychological studies show that such people are frequently selfconscious and may have personality problems. The person may suffer from feelings of rejection and ridicule by others and may be held back, not only socially, but in career and job opportunities. The cooperative effort of the orthodontist and oral surgeon is vital to the success of treatment. The orthodontist is specially trained in facial growth and development and the proper placement of teeth.

“That issue is being evaluated separately.” The following are examples of products tested for nitrosamines and found acceptable. Cooked sausages, such as frankfurters, bologna, cooked salami, polish sausage, pickle and pimiento loaf, many proprietary luncheon meats and loaves. Fermented sausages, such as dry sausages, pepperoni, dry salami, dry cervelat; semi-dry sausages, Genoa salami, thuringer, summer sausages

Eye On Safety

Nearly one million Americans have lost some of their sight due to injuries. Fortunately, for the future at least, 90 percent of the damage could be avoided. That’s the view of the National Society to Prevent Blindness, the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness. In industry, in school labs and shops, at home or in sports activity, appropriate

Some basic problems usually corrected by surgical orthodontics include pro-' truding upper jaw, recessed upper jaw, protruding lower jaw, recessed lower jaw and other unusual facial disharmonies. In these cases, the oral surgeon may remove a section of the extended jawbone. Or, a bone may be grafted to a jawbone that is too short. This enables the surgeon to reposition the jaw into proper facial alignment. Orthodontic appliances will probably be used before, during and after surgery. Improving the patient’s oral health is one reason for such treatment because severe abnormal jaw relationships make biting and chewing very difficult. But besides improved oral health, the most dramatic changes can be seen in the improvement in dental and facial appearance.
