Do you have the midwinter
blahs about exercise?
Do all your meals seem the
same?

health?
Do you feel helpless to resist
temptation when you enter a
supermarket?
—Do you need some moral
support to control your weight?
Well, the Penn State Extension
Service can help you revitalize
your attitude toward food, exercise
and grocery shopping. Your Ex
tension office has a Family Health
Calendar available for the month
of March that gives you a nutrition
or health tip to trunk about each
day. It’s perfect to post on the
refrigerator door for the whole
family to read. These tips en

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Effective Feb. 28, the
USDA began ad
justment of the dollar
value of meat and
poultry products that
retailers can sell to
hotels, restaurants and
similar nonhousehold
consumers without
being subject to federal
inspection.
“The limit on a
retailer’s annual sales
to institutional con
sumers will decrease
from ?30,200 to $28,800
for meat, while poultry
will increase from
$23,100 to $25,500,” said
Donald L. Houston,
administrator of
USDA’s Food Safety
and Inspection Service.
Under federal law,
retail meat and poultry
merchants are exempt
from federal inspection
if their total dollar sales
and the percentage of
those sales to in
stitutional customers do
not exceed these limits.
Each year, the retail
sales limit is
automatically adjusted
if the consumer price
index fluctuates at least
$5OO, upward or
downward, for meat and
poultry products. The
percentage of meat and
poultry sales to
“nonhousehold” in
stitutional customers
may not exceed 25
percent of a retailer’s
total annual sales.
Houston said data
published by the U.S.
Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor
Statistics for 1983 in
dicate a price decrease
of 4.7 percent in meat
products and an in
crease of 10.2 percent in
poultry products. The
price for meat products
decreased about $1,400
and the price for poultry
products increase • by
$2,400.

March has been declared
National Nutrition Month by the
American Dietetic Association for
several years now. March ushers
in Spring, a season of renewal. So it
is a good time to review our per
sonal food shopping, eating and
exercise habits. You will want to
reinforce good food and health
habits and replace bad ones. This
calendar can help you do that.
Each week of the month the
calendar promotes one major
theme. The first week the daily tips
all encourage you to include fiber
rich foods in your diet. Dietary
fiber plays an important role in
keeping you “regular” and in your
general intestinal health. Good
food sources are whole grams,

legumes, nuts, vegetables and
fruits. This variety of sources
should allow you to choose high
fiber foods and appeal to you and
your family.
The effect of your food choice on
your health is stressed the second
week. Most people know that the
amount of fat you eat affects the
health of your heart. But did you
know that the amount of calcium
you eat now may affect your
chances of having bone fractures
when you are older? Dietary
calcium intake affects the course
of Osteoporosis, a disease of old
age that is especially a problem for
older women. So the advice for
March 13, 1984 suggests that you
“Drink milk now. Prevent broken
hips later.”
Tips on cutting calories are
presented the third week. These
can be used by people who want to
maintain their present weight as
well as those who wish to lose some
extra pounds. For example, how
itiany of you remember that nature
provides “a diet soda?” It contains
minerals, is calorie free and is
necessary for life. You guessed it -
the diet soda is water. However the
best thing about it may be that it
does not leave you hooked on a
“sweet” taste, the downfall for
many overeaters. So “Drink
water, nature’s diet soda” on
March 20,1984 and start a habit.
The last week’s tips address food
shopping and food preparation, one
of the first steps in anyone’s path to
good health. Reading labels can
help you set a healthful table. It’s

one of several defenses against
impulse buying in the super
market.
This calendar’s tips encourage
you to practice moderation in the
amounts of food you eat and at the
same time enjoy a wide variety of
foods in your diet. We hope it will
help you and your family along the
road to good health.

DRAPERIES
DON’T LAST.FOREVER
Spring seems to be the time
when you take a hard look at
draperies. Do you clean them?
Launder them? Replace them?
Lined draperies usually have a
life span of about five years,
unhned ones ones four years and
sheers three years.
Even this timetable is subject to
revision. The drapery’s life
depends on the fabric used in
construction, and exposure to
sunlight, humidity and oxidation
(fumes from furnaces, ovens and
automobile exhausts).

Proper care is another im
portant factor in prolonging the
draperies’ life and apperance. If
possible, rotate drapery panels
from one side of the window to the
other to equalize sun damage.
Regular cleaning also stretches
the life span of the fabric because
embedded soil causes fiber
deterioration.
Don’t let draperies touch the
glass, blow against screens or
become wet during rainstorms or
through winter water con
densation. The fabric may
watermark and the stain not be
noticed until spring cleaning. By
that time, the stain cannot be
removed. Draperies that are
allowed to blow against a screen
can become ruined, if the fabric
catches on sharp screening or
becomes caught in sliding doors.
When you buy new draperies or
replace old ones, choose preshrunk
fabrics and ones that are as
resistant as possible to sun-fading.
Draperies are often a major in
vestment in home's; protect your
investment through proper care.
broken legs are surgically

colt in a cast after six months of
treatment. Their next meeting will
be held at the Community House in
