CHICAGO, IL A 30-second television commercial which meat producers believed negatively portrayed their products will no longer air because of action by Ad Watch, a Meat Board program designed to cut misleading dietary claims involving meat products. The ad, by Kraft General Foods for its Light Naturals reduced fat cheese, portrayed a woman trying to cut fat and cholesterol from her diet. In the process, says the actress, she’s already given up meat and eggs. “The implication here is that to reduce fat and cholesterol, you have to give up meat,” says Don Jackson, an Oakdale, Calif., beef producer and chairman of the Meat Board. “In fact, meat can and should be part of a balanced, moderate diet. We believe this ad sent the wrong message to con sumers already confused as the result of conflicting nutrition claims.” When the ad first appeared, Meat Board Ad Watch reached company officials to relay con cerns. Kraft executives were immediately willing to cooperate SHIN'S WAI TEUVtB'C IMPLEMENTS, INC SALES 1 SERVICE 717-328-2244 717-244-4184 SOLLENBERGER M.S.

Responding to producer con cerns, Mitchell Wienick, presi dent, refrigerated products group, Kraft, in a letter to the Meat Board wrote: “At Kraft General Foods, we have long supported the concept of a balanced diet which includes a variety of products.

If the percolation test is run incorrectly, the soil absorp tion system may be undersized, leading to hydraulic over load and evenutal failure. If a seasonal high groundwater table is not recognized, seasonal failures could occur when the ground water moves up into die soil absorption system. When a septic system is constructed it is very important to have all components of the soil absorption system level. If a line lies at too steep a grade or if the distribution system is not level, the wastewater will not be evenly distributed through all the lateral lines. This may overload one part of the system. The heavy equipment used in home construction can com pact the soil and consequently reduce the soil percolation rate. During construction of the house, the area set aside for the soil absorption field and the area downhill from it should be fenced off to keep out heavy vehicles. Also, construction or excavation of a system when the soil moisture is high can result in excessive soil smearing and compaction. After the system is installed the site should be landscaped to divert surface drainage around the soil absoiption system. The system is designed to handle a given volume of waste water. Surface water ponded in the area will overlaod the system. Equal distribution to all parts of the soil absorption system is important for proper operation. After the system has been installed, settling and freeze/thaw action can shift the distri bution system. The primary purpose of the septic tank is to settle out the solids and retain grease and scum from the wastewater to protect the soil absorption system. As the septic tank fills with sludge, solids and scum can begin to flow over into the soil absorption system. If this continues, the soil can become clogged, causing a premature failure. Periodically it is necessary to pump out the solids and scum stored in the sep tic tank. A septic tank is equipped with baffles at both the inlet and outlet The inlet baffle prevents short-circuiting of the sew age, and the outlet baffle prevents the floatable scum from moving out into the soil absorption field. In time, these baf fles can deteriorate and drop off into the tank. It is a good idea to check the condition of the baffles when the tank is being pumped and replace those that are in poor condition with sanitary tees. Any repair or installation of an on-site sewage, system must be approved by the local sewage enfor cement officer. • Water conservation: This reduces the amount of water the absorption field must accept It also reduces the flow of effluent through the septic tank allowing more time for sol ids to settle out. This can prolong the life of any sewage sys tem. • Increase size of soil absorption system; This increases the capacity of the soil absorption system to accept wastewa ter. • Install alternate soil absorption system: This involves constructing a second soil absorption system and diverting all of the wastewater to it for a least six months. This rests the original field. The fields can then be alternated. • Repair physical damage: Leveling the distribution sys tem or repairing crushed or broken pipe may be necessary to restore the system. Tree roots may be interfering with the operation of the soil absorption system and must be removed. It is also important to replace deteriorated septic tank baffles. • Constructing a new or replacement system; In some cases corrective measures are not enough; a new system must be constructed. This is especially true with a seasonally high water table or a slow percolation rate. There are several replacement systems available, including mound systems, and sand filters. If you are presently served by an on-lot septic system, or are contemplating building in an area not served by a central sewer system and would like more information on how your septic system works, call your county Penn State Coopera tive Extension Office and request a copy of Special Circular 302, “Two Remedies for Failing Septic Systems,” or Ag Engineering Fact Sheet SW - 41, “Septic System Fauilure.” are not making any claims against red meat in the commercial and we believe the commercial to be truthful, we recognize your con cerns. The commercial will con clude in its current form a flight of advertising this Saturday, January 20 and will not be aired in its cur rent form after that date. Prior to the next flight, scheduled for early February, we will re-edit the open ing scene of the commercial to exclude any reference to red meat consumption. “We appreciate your position and believe this action will answer your concerns.”
