I'm concerned, too!

I ByREBECCAANN BRESNAHAN I’m a resident of Milford, Indiana. I may be a teenager, but I am very concerned about people who drink and drive. A person who drinks and drives is just putting the law into their own hands. If they go out and get in an accident, due to alcohol, and it kills or injures someone, they should be punished heavily. I don’t mean just having their license taken away. I mean maybe a few weeks in jail, a huge fine, and their license taken away

increase their motivation to use their abilities to the fullest, for they represent an important intellectual resource which our nation needs.” The more than one million participants in the current Merit Program entered the competition by taking the PSAT/NMSQT in October 1987 as high school juniors. Although their qualifying test scores are very high, the 35,000 young people throughout the nation who are Commended Students scored slightly below the level required for semifinalist standing in their respective states. Only the 15,000 semifinalists, whose names were announced on Sept. 15, will continue in the competition for some 6,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in the spring of 1989.

for a couple of years. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh but, a lot of times it’s the innocent who have to suffer for the rest of their lives. Sometimes the people who drink get killed themselves. It’s their own fault. They chose to drink and then drive. I don’t mean that I don’t care, but why make us suffer? I hope you can see where I’m getting at — drinking and driving does kill a friendship. But if you don’t, maybe when you lose a loved one or a close friend, you will see what I mean.

This year the National School Lunch Week menus include items that are lower in sugar, salt and fat. To promote* and encourage nutrition awareness and education in the schools, students and food service staffs are developing other menus with lower sugar,

Roughly 80 percent of the food for school lunch is purchased off the local market; donated commodities make up the other 20 percent,” Circo says. The new recipes are also designed to make good use of USDA-donated commodities to keep the cost of lunches down. In addition, they list optional ingredients and seasonings to accommodate differing regional and local taste preferences, offer seasoning mixes to use with popular Italian and Mexican dishes, and streamline preparation by eliminating unnecessary
