Americans have heard a lot in recent years about “power lunches,” where business executives ■meet and make important corporate decisions over a mid-day meal. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s new public education campaign, “Eating Right . . . The Dietary Guidelines Way,” the new “power lunch” may well be one that emphasizes nutrition and convenience. According to a USDA survey, some 20 percent of American women eat food they bring from home when eating lunch out. Brown-bag lunches are an American tradition. Many people

Today’s busy schedules may leave less time for parents to plan a brown-bag lunch that’s nutritiously “powerful” as it could be. According to nutritionist Eileen Newman, “Nutritious, tasty and convenient lunches are ‘in the bag’ when you follow the Dietary Guidelines which include seven basic principles that encourage variety, balance and moderation in food consumption.” The first two guidelines encourage people to eat a variety of foods that provide enough essential nutrients and calories to

maintain a desirable weight; the other five describe special characteristics of good eating suggesting people eat an adequate amount of starch and fiber, and avoid too much fat, sugar, sodium and alcohol. Newman offers a number of tips for people who want to enjoy a “power lunch.” Sandwiches The veteran food of the brownbag lunch is the sandwich. Sandwiches can be varied and nutritious. Try these suggestions for breads and spreads to liven up a lunch: • Try different kinds of wholegrain bread — whole wheat, multigrain, rye and pumpernickel. Not all dark breads are whole-grain ones, so be sure to read the label. • Choose a bread to suit one’s appetite. Snack-sized pumpernickel and small pita pockets are usually available. • Use water-packed tuna instead of oil-packed tuna for less fat. • Have lean roast meats, poultry and fish for less sodium than cured or processed meats — such as ham, bacon, hot dogs or luncheon meats. Meats from the deli, however, such as sliced Bridge leaders named The Evening Bridge-O-Rama players in the lead for gross scores are Bob and Dottie Williams, Ann Hafner, Bob Ahrns, John Hagen and Bob Jones.

Columbians learn about Eye Bank

The Columbia Reading Circle met Monday evening March 12, in the Milford home of Kate Doty. There were 11 members and two guests present. After roll call and the reading of the minutes, a short business meeting was held. It was reported the plans for the May 14 Spring Party are progressing. Those who are reading extra books traded for a new book to be read by the next meeting. Following the business meeting, Margi Brooks introduced Berniece Dwyer who presented a timely and informative report,, on “Corneal Transplants.” Having done an in-depth study on this subject, Mrs. Dwyer noted that Goshen Hospital and Kosciusko Community Hospital are collection centers in the area for donated eyes. The Indiana Lions Eye Bank, a state protect supported entirely by the Lions Clubs of Indiana, is a charter member of the Eye Bank Association of America. She also reported that anyone can be an eye donor. Donor cards are available from any Lions Club, and forms may also be found on the back side of a driver’s license or other legal documents one may use. In closing, Mrs. Dwyer quoted Paul Harvey who had observed a bumper sticker which read, “Don’t take your organs to heaven with you — we need them Ultrasound detects ovarian cancer This is a particularly elusive cancer which often defies early detection. However, the University of Texas (Houston) Lifetime Health Letter reports British researchers who used abdominal ultrasound to screen more than 5,000 women with no signs of the condition found nine of them with ovarian cancers. This early detection gives them a much higher survival rate than if the cancers were found later.

crisp bread, fig bars, graham crackers, gingersnaps or unsalted pretzels. • For a safe lunch, carry already-chilled foods in an insulated lunchbox, bag or cooler. Or try this keep-cool tip: Freeze a sandwich the night before. It will thaw by lunchtime and help keep the rest of the lunch cold, too. For best quality, don’t freeze sandwiches with mayonnaise, salad dressing or hardcooked eggs. Carry lettuce and tomatoes to add to the sandwich at lunchtime. Microwave Meals The sandwich isn’t the only lunchtime option. The traditional browh-bag meal is being replaced more often by meals carried in plastic food containers as worksites give employees access to refrigerators and microwave ovens. • Microwave meals — More than half of all daytime workers have access to microwave ovens, according to a recent National Restaurant Association survey. Some good lunchtime options to consider are macaroni and cheese (made with lowfat milk and a minimum of margarine); chop suey (with a reducedsodium soy sauce); spaghetti with a no-salt-added sauce; and frozen meals that are lower in fat and sodium (be sure to compare nutrition labels). • Leftovers — Save time and money by saving some leftovers one can reheat or enjoy cold at the office. • Soup mixes — Many of these instant, just-add-hot-water mixes are high in salt. Look for lowsodium, no-salt-added or reduced-sodium versions.
