B4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 27,1982
LANCASTER Do you
remember the basics? Did you
think knowing the basic food
groups were just for school? Not at
all; we need them every day to
insure good health and tasty
meals. The basic groups should be
with us in our minds and at the

visitation, she received a number
of thank you notes from the
children. She picked out a few
which tickled her to share with our
readers, (hie read: "I learned a lot
about milk and how it is processed
from cows." Another went:
"Thank you for coming to our
school to tell us about milk and the
things in it, even though it made
me half sick.”
Still another read: "I learned
slot of things 1 never knew before,
starting with the protein in milk
and that cows have hair."
Charlene says, however, she
does not have a favorite age group
to talk to. She was curious to see
how she would relate to the high
school students last week since
they were so close to her own age,
but she was relieved to see that
they were receptive to her and her
presentation.
Getting teenagers and adults to
drink milk is a big challenge as
Charlene sees it. She often gets
kidded by her Choraleer friends,
when they eat out, that she is a
dairy princess twenty-four hours a
day because she always orders
milk rather than colas!
If example is a tool for teaching,
then Charlene should make a good
case for choosing milk rather than
colas. She is slim and stands and
sits with a posture which points to
well-being and vitality. Add to the
strength of such an appearance, a
flawless complexion, sparkling,
dark eyes and shining, curly, dark
hair, and the cola crowd has a
formidable foe!

banquets, mall promotions, and
other state-wide functions,
Charlene also organizes the local
school presentations on her own on
her days off from work at the
grocery store. She hopes to use the
late winter and early spring
months to complete these visits
because her state appearance
become more numerous in May
and June. Eventually, and much
faster than she even thought, her
appearances will end at the state
pageant in September.
Until that tune, however, she
plans to fit as much as she can into
her schedule. She looks back now
on the first half of the year as state
princess and has found it a
valuable experience. She
remarked positively about the
many officials of government and
agricultural organizations across
the state she has had the op
portunity to meet, the many
children she has spoken with, the
challenges and their resolutions
she has experienced and the words
ot encouragement and help that
she has heard.
Charlene is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Elvin Hohrer, Jr.,
Cochranville. Her parents milk
fifty Holstems on their 150-acre
farm. Charlene has two older
sisters now married, and two
younger brothers.
All too quickly the year will be
gone; but as one recently printed
comment by a school official said.
"Our local dairy farmers can be
proud of the job their Dairy
Princess is doing in promoting the
use of milk in good nutrition."

Fats, sweets, and alcohols are
a group of foods we often eat. We
receive little nutritional benefit
from them yet they add calories.
They are a group of extras we
sometimes find difficult to resist ■—
just a taste, just a bite, a sip.
Consumption of these depends
upon individual activity level, age,
and size.
Resurrecclon says that the
suggested number of servings in
this daily food guide provides an
average of about 1200 calories.
Anyone needing more, can make
{adjustments according to in
dividual need. Anyone who
requires less calories needs to be
extra careful to get sufficient
nutrients from their total diet. If
you balance your daily eating
habits according to this guide,.
you’ll receive an
adequate supply of protein, car
bohydrates and fats and most of
the vitamins and minerals you
leed. Eat m health and in
moderation.
