WIC Program To Continue
Despite Recent Cutoffs
The Warren County WIC
program will continue to
serve more than 600 women
and children with special
nutritional needs even after
State mandated cut-backs
are imposed.
Ms. Barbara Hughes,
Chief of the Nutrition Section
of the Division of Health
Services in Raleigh, stressed
that the cut-back in
Warren County was due to a
formula developed by the
S'—te to insure that each
county is given an equitable
share of WIC funds which
come from the United States
Department of Agriculture
to the State of North
Carolina.
Ms. Ruth Bugg, Acting
WIC Director for Warren
County, stated that the
cut-backs will only affect a
small number of people. "In
order to come within the
State guidelines we will
tighten the criteria for
eligibility. We are hopeful
that we will only need to
remove clients from the
program whose health has
improved to the point where
they no longer need the
dietary supplements we
offer."
The WIC program, in
operation since May, 1974,
provides mothers and children
under five with food
orders redeemable at local
stores. The foods provided
include milk, cheese, juice,
cereal and eggs which aid
pregnant women and growing
children to develop
strong bodies. All WIC
recipients are certified as
having a medical need for
the program by an examina
tion at the Health Department
clinic.
Although it may be some
months before new clients
can be given WIC food
orders people interested in
the program should still
contact the WIC program
for a determination of
eligibility. Eligible persons
will be placed on a waiting
list but will benefit immediately
from the clinic
services, nutritional counseling
and home visiting
which are included in the
program.

Haliwas Receive
Health Care Grant
The U. S. Public Health
Service has awarded a grant
of $16,630 to the Haliwa
Indian Tribe, Inc., Route 1,
Hollister. The announcement
was made to the
Warren Record by Congressman
L. H. Fountain.
In his telegram to the
newspaper, the Second
District Congressman said
the money is to be used for
planning a Haliwa Rural
Health Program.
Chief W. R. Richardson
said Tuesday the grant will
be used to conduct a survey
of health needs in the area
which will enable the
development of data to be
submitted in a proposal.
" The rural health program
is actually under the
jurisdiction of the Eastern
Health System of Greenville,
but Chief Richardson
expressed thanks to the
Capital Health System of
Durham for assistance in
securing the grant.
He also expressed appreciation
for favorable
letters of endorsement by
county commissioners, hospitals,
health departments
and other officials from both
Halifax and Warren counties
which helped in securing
the grant.
Chief Richardson said the
grant is geared for six
months and at the end of this
time it is a "hope to put the
program in operation."
Richardson noted that the
program will encompass a
ten-mile area surrounding
Essex which will include
southeastern Warren County
and southwestern Halifax
County. If the proposal is
accepted and the facility is
functional, the same tenmile
radius will be served,
he said.

Conserve Vegetable Nutrients While Cooking
Il> JULIE BENDER
V ('. State University
Important nutrients in
vegetables are often lost
during the cooking process.
Three ways to conserve
them are to reduce the
amount of water used in
cooking, reduce the length
(if the cooking period and
reduce the amount of
surface area exposed, say
agricultural extension specialists
at North Carolina
State University.
Vitamin C dissolved in
water becomes weakened
by exposure to air and can
be destroyed by heat.
If cabbage is chopped up
to make slaw, but is left
standing on the counter for
an hour before serving,
much of the original vitamin
C is destroyed by the air.
So. freshly cut cabbage is
better for you than the same
amount of cabbage boiled
for 2 hours with corned beef
Heat hastens the destruction
of vitamin C.
Always use a minimum of
water to cook vegetables
and serve vegetables as
promptly as possible to
retain the most nutrients.
Frozen Fruits
Most home-frozen fruits
..ill keep their high quality
for 8 to 12 months at 0
degrees F. or be'ow. Home
frozen citrus fruits and
juices, however, maintain
high quality for only 4 to 6
months.
\ny frozen fruits to be
kept for more than a few
days should be stored at 0
degrees F. or below, say
NCSU extension specialists.
