Miss Pennsylvania
To Be At Farm Show
T'
<
TINA THOMAS, Miss Pennsylvania, will be on hand to greet
visitors to the 1974 Pennsylvania Farm Show to be held in
Harrisburg January 7-11. The 18-year-old fourth runner-up in
the Miss'America Pageant will be at the Sperry New Holland
display of farm machinery Monday through Wednesday.
In 1212, thousands of children embarked on a task that
was far from child’s play. They believed they could walk
dry-shod across the Mediterranean and capture Jerusalem
from the Saracens without fighting.

NUTRITION A 1A CARTE
• Need help in encouraging your
family to eat vegetables? Try
serving vegetables raw as well as
cooked. Children especially may
like such finger foods as carrot
sticks, celery or cucumber sticks,
green pepper strips, or cauliflow
erettes. If the kids help to pre
pare the vegetables, this too may
perk up their appetites.
• Did you know that freezing
damages the texture of most
cheese? But some can be frozen
in smaller pieces. These include
Brick cheese, Cheddar, Edam,
Gouda, Muenster, Port du Salut,
Swiss, Provolone, and Mozzarella.
Wrap them in moisture-proof
wrapping, freeze quickly and
store at zero degrees Fahrenheit
or lower.
• Nutrition really means the
teamwork of various nutrients.
For instance, vitamin D in milk
helps build calcium and phos
phorus into bones. Iron combines
with protein to make hemoglobin,
a component of red blood cells.
For total nutrition, no one food
can do the job. That’s why we
urge the four food groups for
best eating.
• If you think being overweight
isn’t serious consider this: Here’s
what overweight can do to you
It may injure your arteries and
vour heart. Being too heavy in
creases your risk if you need sur
gery. It slows you up and this in
itself causes you to burn fewer
calories. Overweight may over
burden your joints and invite
arthritis.
• Riboflavin, one of the B vita
mins, helps keep your skin in
good condition. It\ important to
the health of your tongue and
lips, too. Riboflavin functions by
helping your cells use oxygen.
Good food sources of riboflavin
include milk, cheese, ice cream,
meats especially liver fish,
poultry and eggs.
• Women and teenage girls are
often found to be deficient in
iron, undoubtedly due to inade
quate diets. To make sure you get
enough iron, you must include
iron-rich foods in your meals.
Such foods include liver, other
meats, eggs, dried beans and
peas, green leafy vegetables,
prunes, raisins, dried apricots,

• The turkey that we enjoy not
only at Thanksgiving but all year
’round was originally discovered
by Cortez when he conquered
Mexico. Only he thought the bird
was a peacock. Spaniards called
the bird “toka” which is the In
dian word for peacock. Later in
Spain they called it “tukki”, and
finally turkey as we know it to
day.
• Did you know that if you add
sugar to whipping cream before
it is whipped, it will take longer
to whip the cream and you’ll get
less whipped cream? Did you
know that the yellow flecks in
some buttermilk are real butter?
Butter granules are added to
meet the demand of people who
like their buttermilk this way.
• The proteins in all foods are
built from compounds called ami
no acids. Of more than 22 amino
acids, eight are essential for
adults because the body is un
able to make enough of them for
its needs. You must get them al
ready formed in your food. That’s
one reason why protein foods like
those in milk and meat groups
are important.
• Here’s a winter party idea
a skating party buffet. Serve pip
ing hot oyster stew along with
crusty bread and butter, also a
healthy Caesar salad and hot
mince pie. You’ll be a nutrition
winner with such a menu and the
skating party will get you and
your friends out of doors for
some winter exercise.
• What is man made of? If he
weighs around 160 pounds, he
may be made of about 100 pounds
of water, 29 pounds of protein,
25 pounds of fat, 5 pounds of
minerals, one pound of carbohy
drate, and one-quarter ounce of
vitamins. Only carbohydrate, fat
and protein can be used as energy
fuel.
• It’s not a good idea to choose
your diet by chance. Yet a lot of
people eat what they want to and
then rely on vitamin and mineral
supplements to get all the essen
tial nutrients. This hit-and-miss
approach can deprive your body of
the proper amounts of protein.
energy-giving foods, and other
nutritional necessities.
• Here’s a New Year’s resolution
you might consider: Promise
yourself you’ll read labels on the
food you buy. You’ll be more
knowledgeable about the food
you buy, its weight in terms of
price, and its nourishment.
There’s no point in your being
ignorant, or careless, when it’s a
matter of where your food dollar
is going.
• Milk is an excellent food. It
contains a wide variety of the es
sential nutrients needed for good
health. As such, it is one of the
most useful foods you can add to
your meal. Two glasses a day
give an adult one-fourth the pro
tein needed, three-fourths the cal
cium, half the riboflavin, and
i many other essential nutrients.
