What are the most serious prob lems facing Wayne County teen agers? According to a'Cross sec tion of 67 local opinion leaders, alcohol tops the list. Other top ranking concerns included tobac co, sexual activity, pregnancy, and illegal drugs. These findings emerged from a recent survey conducted by Way ne County Cooperative Extension as part of its new tobacco control and youth iniative. Funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Penn State Cooperative Extension is working in six coun ties to develop community coali tions dedicated to creating a new generation of tobacco-free youth. This effort reflects Extension’s long-standing commitment in its 4-H programs to youth develop ment and health. Alcohol use was clearly seen as the major problem for local teen agers with 91 percent of respond ents listing it as one of the five top problems facing Wayne County teens. By comparison, 34 percent identified use of illegal dnigs in their top five and 61 percent iden tified use of tobacco, cigarettes and/or smokeless products. Tobacco use among youth doesn’t get as much publicity as bobbin lace, and other antique needleworking as all skill levels will be represented at the gather ing. However, those who attend should be willing to became inter preters at the Museum when a level of skill is attained. There is no charge for the gathering. Please call (717) 367-4908, for more information. Local Leaders Rank Problems Facing Wayne Teens Our New Style Champion Now Has A New Redesigned Efficient Baffle System I?

Tobacco is often called a gateway drug, because it can lead to other risky behavior.” Why Food Loses Flavor NEWARK, Del. The chemi cals responsible for fresh flavor in foods are present in minute amounts. How those chemicals interact with packaging materials determines the quality, shelf life, and safety of food products. “An area only a few atoms thick controls may chemical processes,” explains Dr. Robert Keown, a spe cialist in packaging and polymer chemistry in the University of Delaware College of Agricultural Sciences. “The chemistry of the bulk of a sheet of polymer film and the chemistry of its surface can be very different. This surface is affected by chemicals in the environment and by the process used to produce the film. If the surface chemicals are reactive, they can use up all the critical fla vor molecules in food.” About 300 distinct chemicals make up the flavor of orange juice, for example, but those responsible for freshness may be WATER FILTERS *1»««» WATER SYSTEMS THE STRENGTH IS IN THE CONSTRUCTION ■ Pound Solid Concrete Steel ■ The Wall Is Only as Good • Hanura m Wade • Hog Homo Wab • Chicken House WaM • Concrete Docks • House Foundation Wals • Ctetem WaSs ■ Barnyard Wals • Conenta PK Tops • Slags Pit Wall ■ Retaining Walla All SIXM available ■ round or rectangular Tfcto th* quaaflom out of your ntw construction.

Statewide, about 47 percent of high school seniors use alcohol (including beer, wine, distilled spirits) at least once a month, 30 percent smoke cigarettes, and 12 percent use smokeless tobacco, according to a 1991 Governors’ Drug Policy Council survey. present in only two parts per mil lion. This is the equivalent of adding a teaspoon of flavorant to a railroad tank car of orange juice. Lose those chemicals, and the juice will taste stale. Keown, who heads the depart ment of food science, has received a $40,000 grant from Kraft/ General Foods, Inc. and $40,000 in matching funds from the Dela ware Research Partnership to study the effect food packaging materials have on food flavor. The focus of this research is the chemi stry of the membrane on the sur face of polymer films. Keown’s findings could lead to the development of packaging treatments that extend shelf life by limiting flavor loss and inhibiting the migration of off-flavors from the polymer into the food. The new information might also be used to develop packaging that indicates shelf life expiration. 10” Sediment filters for grit, sand, particles, dirt, etc. Micron Sizes 1. 5. 10, 20. 30, 50. 100 <2B qly. • $1.99 ca. case lot |QP| m m 80 qty. - $2.25 ea, 40 qty. - $2.50 ea, 742 E.
