ABOUT MICROWAVES
AND VITAMINS
Although we need
vitamins in relatively small
amounts, they are a very
important component of the
foods we eat and we could
not live without diem. In the
body, vitamins play many
important roles, such as
mediators in the process of
energy production, and in
vision and bone growth.
Vitamins are divided into
two major groups based on
whether they can be
dissolved in water or fat.
These are the fat-soluble and
water-soluble vitamins.

consistory of the United Church of Christ in Willow Street,
a member of the Pennsylvania Farmers Association and
the Holstein Association, and serves on the promotion and
resource committee for Atlantic Breeders Cooperative.
Brenda is a member of Farm Women 28, teaches kin
dergarten at their church and sings on the choir. She is
assistant leader of a Brownie Troop and will serve as
leader in the Fall. She was treasurer of the parent
teachers organization and is a member of the Red Rose
Embroiders Guild. She enjoys doing needlepoint and
sewing, although doesn’t find as much tune to sew as
she’d like. The family enjoys a one-week vacation
together.
The family has also been busy redecorating and
restoring their 200-year-old farmhouse which required
work inside and out when they moved there 15 years ago.
Brenda says, “We do all the dirty work and then have a
carpenter come in for the rest.” The house was sand
blasted and repainted and is now in excellent condition.
Soon their quiet little homestead along the Strasburg
Pike will be bustling with people and another strawberry
season will be underway. For three weeks life will be
busy, but the family will enjoy their visitors and the
knowledge that all will enjoy the bountiful harvest of
luscious strawberries.

during cooking are from the
water-soluble family
because those nutrients can
leach out in cooking water or
be easily destroyed by heat
or air. These more
vulnerable nutrients include
ascorbic acid (vitamin C),
which is found mostly in
fruits and vegetables, and
the B-vitamins, such as
thiamine (vitamin Bj),
riboflavin (vitamin B 2),
pantothenic acid (vitamin
B 3), and pyrodoxine
(vitamin B $ ). These B
vitamins are found in meats,
grains and their products.
Destruction of these
vitamins during cooking
stems from two major
causes-, prolonged heat, and
a lot of cooking water. In
microwave cooking,
however, the amount of time
that food is exposed to heat is
greatly reduced so there is
considerably less heat
destruction of these
vitamins. With many foods
that contain a lot of water,
such as peas, no added water
is needed_in microwave
cooking. This accounts for
a greated retention of
vitamins especially
vitamin C in foods where
additional cooking liquid is
not needed. Moreover, when
water is used in microwave
cooking, the amount of time
the food contacts the water is
decreased, due to the speed
of this method of cooking.
This can be a real benefit in
blanching fruits and
vegetables before freezing.
Although microwave
cooking does not add to the
nutritional quality of a
particular food, it can help
that food retain its optimal
nutrient potential. This
means that, in most cases,
microwave cooking does not
decrease the level of
vitamins, particularly the
water-soluble vitamins, in
foods any more than con
ventional methods do. In
some cases, microwave
' iV
cookery is actually superior
in maintaining nutrient
retention.
THE AMERICAN DREAM
Throughout the history of
our country a common,
widely held dream has been
to own a house, and many
people dream of their own
single detached home en
closed with a picket fence.
Some housing experts
predict that this traditional
dream of Americans may
have changed, virtually
overnight, as the late 1979
and early 1960 interest rates
climbed sharply, land
purchase and development
cast soared and housing
construction estimates in
creased almost daily. Many
housing experts and
economists predict that the
dream will become an
unattainable one in the years
ahead as the number of
housing starts diminishes.
For many years, we
Americans spent about 20%
of our dispoMl income for
housing, but the 1979 figures
approached nearly 36%. This
amount is expected to rise to
about 40% in the 80’s. The
difficulty of obtaining
housing combined with its
high cost has altered the
living patterns of many
Americans.
