Many vegetables as well as fruits may be counted on to con tribute this vitamin. In May large quantities of a variety of fresh vegetables are due on markets Many green leafy vegetables con tain large amounts of vitamin C, especially the deep green leaves spinach, kale and collards, if properly cooKed Canned toma toes and tomato juice are notably inexpensive sources of this vita min the year around. Potatoes, sweetpotatoes and cabbage are good buys for vitamin C much of the year VITAMIN C is the most fragile nil i 'vv *' of vitamins. Becaqsegit can ,be destroyed-by exposure to air and is soluble in water* careful prep aration and cooking are necessary to save it Here are some vitamm- C-saving suggestions from nutri tionists: Try to pare or cut up vegetables just before you cook them, because the longer their cut surface is exposed to air, the more C is lost. Cook vegetables only until just tender and in as small a quantity of water as possible. Remember that boding potatoes in the skins haves vitamin C as well as time, and that generally each time you reheat a vegetable, more of the vitamin is lost. As much as pos sible, use vegetables raw in salad or as relishes, and serve them while they’ie fresh and crisp. Emphasis on vitamin C is im portant not only because many families have too little, but also because several trends in Ameri can eating patterns are leading to ward lower intakes We’re eating fewer potatoes, which have been an important source ot C in Am ei man meals, and we’re eating less cabbage Home gardening is not as common as it was up to 10 1 I | STANDARD } I Equipment, Inc. j ANNOUNCES ITS [ ] SPRING DISCOUNT I I SALE !

Two county officers also were guests. They were County President Mrs. Blatn Buckwalter, R 3 Lititz; and Mrs Paul Ebersold, East Petersburg, county treasurer. Mrs. Bucknell gave an ivita tion to the Farm Women to tour the Court House on May 1. The yeais ago thus families are not eating as many fresh succulent young vegetables at the peak of their vitamin C content. Though figures show that toma to consumption is up. it is up m the increasing quantities of cat sup, chili sauce, tomato paste and tomato sauces we’re using. All those processed products contain some vitamin C, but usually in such small quantities that they contribute little to the diet. DID YOU KNOW THAT Raw cauliflower provides twice ac much vitamin C as the same amount of cauliflower when it is cooked. Broccoli is a good source of \xtamins A and C It contains iron, calicum and phosphorus, too. HIESTAND INC. MARIETTA RDI. Ph. HA 6-9301 CLARENCE RUTT "SEE NEW HOLLAND Ph.
