Agri-Women Stand For Property
CHICAGO, Illinois Mem
bers of American Agri-Women
(AAW) from throughout the
United States addressed key issues
in agriculture and installed new
executive officers during the 18th
annual AAW National Conven
tion November 10-14. Key issues
addressed included a broad range
of environmental, property rights,
economic and health care issues.
Attending the convention were
Pat Sueck, Airville, Barbara
Grumbine, Lebanon; Carol Ann
Gregg, Grove City; Gail and Sarah
McPherson, New Park represent
ing Penn’s Agri-Women. PAW’s
President Pat Sueck represented
the state on the AAW Board of
Directors and was appointed to the
Veritas Committee who will be
searching for a 1994 award winner
whose print or media projects seek
to bring truth to the public on agri
cultural issues. Carol Ann Gregg
is AAW’s legislative chairman in
charge of the AAW Fly-In to
Washington, DC each June. It’s a
time to bring AAW policy to the
attention of Congressional legisla
tors. Bylaw chairman Gail
McPherson introduced changes
which raised the organization’s
dues. She also received a Presi
dent’s Award at the closing
banquet.
AAW’s newly installed presi
dent, Ardath DeWall, stated, “We
are very concerned about the ero
sion of private property rights and
the myriad of regulations which
restrict the individual’s right to
use his property and undermine
the wise use of natural resources.”
Specifically, AAW is seeking
changes in the reauthorization of
the Endangered Species Act
which would provide for the con
sideration of people, as well as
plants and animals, in limiting
activities and property use.
DeWall said, “We need to weigh
the effects on people, their fami
lies, homes, communities and
livelihoods when making deci
sions about protecting endangered
species. When protecting the habi
tat of a particular species would

In other actions, AAW is sup
porting legislation which requires
that federal agencies assess the
potential for “taking” private
property in the course of regulat
ory activity, with the goal of mini
mizing takings of private proper
ty. AAW is opposing allowing
Biological Survey hikers to enter
private property without
permission.
The' agricultural women’s orga
nization is seeking legislation to
enable retiring farmers to convert
farm assets to an individual retire
ment account, since their assets
generally are in effect their retire
ment “savings”. Concerning, the
proposed reorganization of
USDA, AAW is supporting the
creation of a farm services admi
nistration to provide local service
centers and “one-stop shopping”
for producers. AAW supports
retaining the current farmer
elected county committee struc
ture and maintaining ASCS con
servation programs in the farm
services administration.

Low-Fat Low-Cost Gifts
Holiday gilt giving can be a
drain on the brain as well as the
pocketbook, and your gift can still
wind up in the back of a loved
one’s closet But while not every
one may want a certain gizmo,
knickknack or extra scarf, every
body does have to eat
As one who follows heart
healthy eating guidelines, I do not
recommend plum puddings and
chocolate creams, but fortunately
there are other gifts that are fun to
receive, good for your health, and
easy on the budget Here are my
suggestions, and the reasons why
they make nutritional sense.
A large body of scientific evi
dence supports the merits of cut
ting back on fat in our diets and
stocking up on carbohydrates.
Why not give an assortment of
interesting dried pastas, arranged
in a basket or tied with a vivid
ribbon.
Few people are familiar with
the subtle differences in rice,
which can also serve as the basis
of low-fat meals. Assemble a
basket of rice from around the
world Indian, Japanese, Bas
mati, Italian risotto, and even wild
rice (technically not rice at all, but
actually a grass rather than a
grain). You could include a favo
rite recipe or cookbook on rice.
While we are advised to cut
back on fat, there arc times when a
little goes a long way in adding
flavor. Such is the case with olive
oil, which contains monounsatur-
leather-textured, personalized
library editions.
Whether as a gift for yourself or
as a gift for a cherished loved one,
the Lifescapes Personal Biography
System is sure to be a gift of a
lifetime.

sled fat. Numerous brands are
available in supermarkets and spe
cialty stores. A large, attractive
bottle or can makes an excellent
gift, and you could add a bottle of
balsamic, garlic, raspberry or tar
ragon vinegar.
And speaking of flavor, as we
learn to do with less salt
another healthful recommendation
other seasonings become more
important. Nothing adds zest like
fresh herbs, so for a friend with a
green thumb and a little outdoor
space, consider giving a gift certi
ficate toward the purchase of
bobs to be planted next spring. A
certificate from a local nursery
could be taped to a small garden
ing tool or slipped inside a garden
ing glove. Many people think of
growing their own herbs but don’t
get around to it; your present
could be the gentle nudge they
need.
Another gift pleasing to most
cooks would be a rope of garlic or
chili peppers to hang in the kitch
en, serving both as decoration and
as a ready supply of piquant flavor
in low-fat dishes.
To further encourage low-fat
eating, some kitchen gadgets help
cut down on labor as well as boost
flavor. Examples are a lemon zes
tfer, apple corer, nutmeg grater or
knife for cutting vegetables into
serrated shapes, ft’s surprising
what a difference such small tools
can make in easing kitchen tasks.

action, equal opportunity
