ver bowl, fill it With holly for an unusually lovely centerpiece. A large candle, set amongst greens and pine cones, also creates an attractive arrangement. A “bouquet” of candy canes tied with big red bows would be a delightful conversation piece for your table; other Christ-mas-type candies in a beautiful container would also be appropriate. A basket filled with holly or other holiday greens will add a fresh, lovely touch to your table. Angel figurines, surrounded by holly or mistletoe can create a charming centerpiece also. Other figurines might also lend themselves to such an arrangement. An old-fashioned candleholder can lend itself beautifully -to an arrangement of greens for a nostalgic look. A festive table will add to the pleasure of entertaining at Christmas!

Scientists tell their findings on 'fast foods’

Millions of Americans eat at fast food outlets every day, so scientists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture decided to study the nutrients served at these places. USPA research chemist Hal T. Slover, who supervised the study here for USDA’s Science and Education Administration, said the study focused on the kinds and amounts of fats in the foods because nutritionists as well as the public are highly interested in food fats. Some of those findings are: — Although potatoes have no Cholesterol and extremely small amounts of fats, a french fry serving from one of these outlets can be expected to contain around 12 milligrams of cholesterol (indicating use of animal fat in the deep fryer). Close to 50 per cent of the calories in french fries were from;fat. — Except for french fries, size of portions were fairly uniform. This probably is explained by the fact that the control point on size of french fry servings is the persons doing the packaging, whereas strict recipes or other guidelines. are followed in preparation of other items. Weight of the largest french fry serving exceeded the weight of the smallest by more than 30 per cent. (All orders were for a regular-size serving.) — Nutrient composition of simple sandwiches such as hamburgers Qnd cheeseburgers may be substantially different from composition of specialty sandwiches. As examples, the Burger King hamburger provided 270 calories and 40 milligrams of cholesterol (averaged figures), the Burger King Double Beef Whopper provided 662 calories and 175 milligrams of cholesterol. McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with cheese provided 559 calories and 110 milligrams of cholesterol. McDonald's hamburger provided 260 calories and 33 milligrams of cholesterol. — Condiments on some of the specialty sandwiches may be nutritiqjnally important. As examples, the- amount of mayonnaise normally added to a Burger King Whopper has 159 calories; the amount of McDonald’s special sauce in a Big Mac has 105 calories; and the amount of tartar sauce in a Burger Chef Skippers Treat has 81 calories. Amounts of condiments normally added to TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR RENT — Large second floor apartment. Some utilities furnished, deposit required. 8342821. A FEW TREES —’To give away for firewood.

hamburgers and cheeseburgers by all three chains contribute fewer than 20 calories. (Figures given in the are for sandwiches without condiments.) — Desserts did not vary as much in nutrient composition as the sandwiches. Calorie content in desserts ranged from 238 in Burger King's apple pie to 352 in Burger Chef’s chocolate shake. Cholesterol content of desserts ranged from 2.5 milligrams in Burger King's apple to 38 milligrams in Burger King’s chocolate shake. Data on fat/ content of shakes indicated thaF the main sources of fats were 6 rendered, animal fat, not butterfat or vegetable fats. “We need better data about the fats people eat,” said Slover. “Reliable data aren’t as easy to get as you might think. ESven if you have data on the nutrient content of foods people buy, it is difficult to relate to what they actually eat because there is so much variation in food preparation methods, eating habits and portions of meals thrown away.

“The so-called 'fastfoods' offer a unique opportunity for collection of data on foods as eaten. The large chains standardize their products, which controls amounts and ingredients. In the hamburgertype outlets the entire serving is edible which minimized statistical problems caused by variation in eating habits.” The volume of sales in fast food chains is another factor that makes such data statistically valuable. It is estimated that the three fast-food chains from which samples were purchased for the study — Burger Chef, Burger King and McDonald’s — provide about one per cent of all the food eaten in the United States. Samples of the study were purchased at outlets in the Maryland suburbs of the District of Columbia. “We purchased french fries, sandwiches, breakfast items, desserts — everything they had to sell except for some beverages,” said Slover. Slover is the USDA’s nutrient composition laboratory here. “Our responsibility in this

laboratory is to obtain data on nutrient composition of foods and to develop improved analytical methodology,” he said. “We don’t recommend what people should eat and we don’t make judgments as to whether diets are good or bad.” “There have been previous studies of nutrients in fast foods,” Slover said, “but none so comprehensive as those presently
