minute holiday shopping and
preparations usually
become as hectic as a
merry-go-round ride that
won’t stop, and short-cuts
are often the order of the
day.
But short-cuts shouldn’t be
taken when it comes to our
food choices, says Dairy
Council Inc., Southampton,
Pa., especially at this time of
year when extra energy and
stamina are needed to keep
the pace.
It is always important to
eat the right amounts of the
right kinds of food, but even
more so during the holiday
season when schedules are
tight and meals are skipped.
Packer, stockyard rules
to be reviewed
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
All existing regulations
issued under the Packers
and Stockyards Act will be
reviewed.under-a plan an
nounced Monday by U.S.
Department of '-Agriculture
officials.
Comments on the proposal
will be accepted until
February 11.
Paschal 0. Drake, acting
deputy administrator of the
department’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, said a
schedule for complete
review of the regulations will
be announced after the
comment period is com
pleted and all comments are
reviewed.
The act and regulations
govern the business prac
tices of those who buy and
sell livestock, meat and
poultry.
Under the proposed plan,
all P&S regulations are
divided into three categories
- those acted upon during
the last three years and
believed not to need review
now, those proposed for
deletion and those proposed
for complete review.
Drake said comments are
invited on tfheUier the
regulations are in the proper
categories, and on the needs
and reasons for any changes.

The Basic Four Food
Groups should guide your
choices - no matter what
time of the year. These
groups include meats and
other protein foods, milk and
other dairy foods, fruits and
vegetables, and bread and
other grain foods.
Fast foods are probably
depended upon more during
the holiday season than at
any other time of year.
These foods are convenient
for busy schedules, with no
preparation or clean-up time
needed, informal with a
limited menu and quick
service, and relatively
inexpensive and filling.
The proposal is scheduled
to appear in the Federal
Register today.

testified for four hours
during the hearings.
Shapp made statements to
the press that Baker’s data,
in some cases, proved
Agrispon’s point. He also
implied some of the Penn
State data had been tam
pered with to favor the
Agriculture Department’s
stand against registration.
The Ag Department said
the Penn State data was not
their sole basis for denying
the registration.
They said their position
was based on hard data and
included information from
other states and research
centers.
The Department’s position
was that the Penn State test
was made on many
products, including
Agrispon.
Penn State’s results could
have been Agrispon’s
clinching research had they
proven the product’s claims,
the Department said.
The Department and Penn
State maintained the tests
did not substantiate the
claims.
“There is nothing wrong
with fast foods, per se,” says
Dairy Council, and adds that
a large variety of these foods
are now available that in
clude tacos, chicken, and
sandwiches.
But last-minute shoppers
should bear in mind that fast
foods alone cannot provide
the needed daily
requirements of a balanced
diet.
If you plan to eat on the
run while holiday gift
buying, make sure the foods
you eat before hand come
from the milk group, the
grains group, and the fruits

The burden of proof in the
hearing was on Agrispon to
prove its claims. The
Department did not have to
disprove any of the claims
made by the product’s
manufacturer.
Much has been made of the
fact Shapp, McHale, and
Alexander are Democrats
and the current ad
ministration is Republican.
But politics would seem to
have little premeditated
play in the matter since
Shapp actually signed the
Fertilizer Bill into law
himself.
One other topic which
comes up often is the sup
posed chub between miracle
products and standard
commercial fertilizer.
Here pundits may have
more fertile ground to work,
since people on both sides of
the question leave little
doubt how they feel about the
opposition.
The decision, when given
by Klein early next year,
probably will guide official
position on product claims
for several years at least.
His decision will be one of
the hotter topics of debate as
the new year begins.
