Storing juices in tin sens
can lead to lead poisoning
MEDIA Citrus and other fruit
juices stored in open, original tin
cans may contribute to lead
poisoning, according to Greta C.
Vairo, extension home economist
with the Penn State Extension
Service.
The link between the cans and
poisoning came a few years ago
after the Food and Drug Ad
ministration investigated a South
Carolina case in which full
strength orange juice refrigerated
in open cans may have contributed
to the total lead exposure that
made three children ill. But FDA
sources believe that other sources
of lead exposure including lead
plumbing, lead-laden soil or dust
may have also contributed.
Similar increases in lead levels
in open, refrigerated cans have
been reported in studies conducted
by the FDA. These studies show
that lead levels in orange juice
stored in open, original containers
increased about seven times, from
0.05 to 0.36 parts per million over a
five day period.
FDA sources stressed that citrus
or fruit juices stored in glass or
plastic containers pose no health
problems.

Becky is currently working on
her parents’ farm, located in
Eatonville. Their herd consists of
about 90 registered Holsteins with
about 43 milking.
While she says she has no im
mediate plans to continue her
formal education, Becky said she
thinks about it once in awhile and
believes it is never too late to go
back to school.
Becky is the counties’ first dairy
princess since 1973, when Jeanette
Goeringer of Tunkhannock wore
the crown.
The evening began with a social
hour followed by a buffet dinner.
Robert Parr, director of sales and
service for the Tunkhannock office
of Select Sires, served as Master of
Ceremonies.
Each candidate answered
questions about how to improve
milk promotion. Becky suggested
doing more television ad
vertisements and stressing the
importance of milk to children at
an earlier age.
While the judges were making
their decision, Bobby Parr and
Neale McMicken provided music.
Betsy Sherwood also provided
music earlier in the evening.
Pennsylvania’s
Residential Building Energy
Conservation Standards
&
Requirements for Electric Service
If you are building a new home or doing extensive remodeling, you should
be aware that beginning July 20,1984, PP&L can connect your electric service
after your builder provides the company with a Notice of Intent to Construct
form. This is a new regulation required by the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission to increase compliance with the state’s Building Energy Con
servation Standards administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Com
munity Affairs (DCA).
The form must be processed by the DCA or a local municipality, that has
elected to administer the act, prior to our furnishThg permanent service to
a residential building having electric space heating or air conditioning. The
forms are available at local PP&L offices.
The Building Energy Conservation Act (BECA), signed into law on Dec. 15,
1980, established energy conservation standards for newly constructed and
substantially remodeled residential dwellings. The term ‘‘residential building”
includes all buildings arranged for use as one or two family dwelling units
and all row houses, town houses and garden apartment construction not ex
ceeding three stories in height used for residential purposes, whenever each
unit has its own individual and self-supporting heating, ventilating and/or
air-conditioning system.
The standards include minimum insulation levels, prescriptive infiltration
control measures, alternative building performance techniques, and minimum
efficiency standards for water heaters and space heating systems, for the
purpose of ensuring energy efficiency in Pennsylvania homes
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission regulation requires electric,
gas and steam heat utilities to receive a copy of a “Notice of Intent to Con
struct” form.

vation regulations or having any questions regarding them, may contact
