CALORIE
COUNTDOWN
BY SUSAN DUFF MASTRO
TOMATOES FOR DIETERS
One of the nicest things Mother Nature ever did for
us dieters was to make the tomato. Luscious and
sweet, one fresh red tomato of average size (three
inches in diameter and about seven ounces in weight)
contains just 40 calories. A raw tomato makes a great
hunger-killing snack between meals - in the afternoon,
I sometimes eat one like an apple sprinkling salt and
pepper on each bite. You can also slice it, sprinkle
lemon juice (one tablespoon, four calories), some dried
dill, garlic salt and pepper, and enjoy it like a salad for
just 44 calories altogether. Or, cut a tomato into
wedges and use your favorite salad seasonings along
with some diet dressing. My favorite is an Italian diet
dressing which has just six calories in a tablespoon -
about three tablespoons cover a wedged tomato nicely
and that costs you only 58 calories total.
For breakfast, you can scramble some cut-up tomato
pieces into your eggs. Prepared in a Teflon pan with
no fat, two scrambled eggs a la tomate add up to no
more than 200 calories. For lunch, split a tomato into
quarters leaving the sections attached to the bottom
and spoon in four ounces of water-pack tuna. This is
an attractive wholesome dish which only amounts to
184 calories. As an exciting side dish to serve with
supper, thick slices of tomato (say, four slices to one
average tomato) sprinkled with oregano and gariic
powder, then broiled for about three minutes is a
delicious addition to your meal.
In addition to being low in calories, tomatoes are
high in two essential vitamins: each average tomatp has
about 1650 International Units of vitamin A anil 42
milligrams of vitamin C. That’s great nutrition for such
a low calorie count. And the high food value and low
calories of tomatoes are not diminished when you'eat'
them from the can. Canned tomatoes, including solids
and liquids, have just 50 to 60 calories (count depends
on brand) per cup, in addition to 2170 International
Units of vitamin A and 41 milligrams of C.
If you like your tomatoes in other forms, catsup,
which you’re likely to use more sparingly, adds zip to
foods for just 75 calories per quarter cup - and chili
sauce which really adds ping, has only 62 calories per
quarter cup. Tomato juice is a great pick-me-up for .
dieters at a mere 44 calories per eight-ounce cup.
And now that meat prices are so high and we’ve
been forced to buy the less expensive and usually
tougher cuts of meat, tomato sauce is a great stewing
solution for preparing them. The regular plain sauce
has 60 calories per cup; with mushrooms, it has 75;
with onions 90; and with tomato tidbits, also 90
calories. Tomato paste which is much more
concentrated, has 217 calories per cup, but we usually
use less and dilute it for cooking purposes.

“The extended day
program cuts across all
disciplines and program
offerings, and at the same
time is flexible,’’ said
Melton. “It is devoid of the
regimentation and con
straints so commonly asso
ciated with traditional
school programs.”
The extended day pro
gram is an alternative
within the regular school
operated at any t-me of the
day or week. Phillips
emphasized that it is for
students to continue an
educational program which
has been interrupted or
otherwise not completed
satisfactorily during the
regular school.
Under the direction of
Wayne Dillon, State Coor
dinator of the extended
day/ optional school pro
gram, every effort is being
made to work with local
coordinators of the extend
ed day/optional school in
building a comprehensive
curriculum for the pro
gram.
Employment Of Handicapped Grows
BATH BAUBLES — Here’s a fun-to-make gift for
those extra Christmas remembrances you always need.
Concoct your own sweet-smelling bath salts and
package them in pretty bottles. The magic formula is 5
pounds of Epsom salts, 2 teaspoons of food coloring 1
tablespoon of glycerine and 10 drops of perfume. Start
saving salad dressing bottles now to use as containers.
The interesting shapes are just right. Dress up the
bottle cap with a pretty bow.
CALICO CHARMERS — If you’re gifting friends
with Christmas cookies and homemade candy, make
marvelous containers out of those cylinders that
stacked potato chips come in. Cover with a bright
calico print (use glue or white hquid paste) and add
ball fringe around the outside of the lid for a lovely,
old-fashioned looking box. Fqj smaller containers use
the ones shortening comes in, and don’t overlook sets
in matching calico for a really lavish gift.
WAX WOES — If you’re planning any candlelit
dinner parties, here’s how to get rid of tallow spots on
the tablecloth. Harden the spot with an ice cube and
scrape off with a knife. For white wax, cover with
blotting paper and press with a hot iron, moving the
paper often. When no more wax appears, daub the
spot with cleaning fluid. For colored wax, daub with a
solution of one part denatured alcohol to two parts
water.
RECYCLED WRAPS — Have you noticed lately
that gift-wrapping can cost almost as much as the gift?
Get in the habit of saving any salvageable ribbon, bows
and paper. Freshen up the paper with a light spray of
starch on the wrong side, then press with a WARM
iron. Leftover wallpaper makes a great gift-wrap with
extra flair.
CUDDLY CUTIES — Now’s the time to start
making some cuddly stuffed animals for junior
Christmas gifts. To prevent your creation from having
a neck that droops to the floor, rescue the cardboard
tube from a roll of toilet tissue and insert a piece of it
between the head and the body. Place under the tree
without wrapping, and watch the kids’ eyes light up.

Human Resources in Action
in North Carolina

RALEIGH - The number
of handicapped workers
employed by North Caro
lina's state government
mroe than doubled during
1974, Governor Jim Hols-
houser announced today.
Holshouser reported on
the results of a survey
conducted by the Gover
nor’s Council on Employ
ment of the Handicapped.
The survey showed that
the 17 state government
departments currently em
ploy 1,904 handicapped
persons, as compared with
the 929 reported in the 1973
survey.
Leading the state govern
ment departments in hiring
the handicapped is the
Department of Human
Resources, which reports
854 handicapped employ
ees. In 1973, the Depart
ment reported 395 handi
capped workers.
A breakdown of the
handicapped persons hired
by the other departments is
as follows: Commerce, 334;
Transportation and High-
w'ay Safety, 314; Social
Mental Health in North
Carolina is beginning a
new' era. The patients and
residents of our state
mental health facilities will
be the prime beneficiaries.
With the recent trend
tow'ard guaranteeing the
individual rights of various
minority groups. North
Carolina, as well as other
slates, is taking a fresh look
at those aspects of
institutional living which
have a dehumanizing effect
on patients seeking help
with mental problems.
The 1971 General As
sembly began the process
by discussing legislation
pertaining to patients’
rights. The actual law was
passed early in the 1973
General Assembly and
amended by the 1974
session.
The patients’ rights
legislation applies to the
state mental hospitals,
retardation centers, alcoho
lic rehabilitation centers
and community mental
health centers.
In commenting on the
patients’ rights legislation.
Dr. N.P. Zarzar, director of
the Division of Mental
Health Services, slated,
“the patients’ rights bill
serves to remind all of us
that no one, simply by
virtue of being a patient in
a treatment facility for the
mentally ill or mentally
retarded, loses the exercise
of his civil and human
rights without due cause
and due process. This bill
protects such basic rights
as the rights to dignity,
privacy and humane care.”
The policy also insures
patients the right tolive as
normally as possible while
receiving care and treat
ment. Attempts are being
made to make both the
exterior and interior of the
hospitals and retardation
centers more attractive and
homelike.
Other patients' rights
include the right to:
-Send and receive sealed
mail and to have access to
w'riting material, postage,
and staff assistance when
necessary.
-Make and receive confi
dential telephone calls.
-Receive visitors and to
make visits outside the
institution.
-Have access to facilities
or equipment for physical
exercise several times a
week and be out-of-doors
everyday.
-Keep personal clothing
and possessions.
-Participate in religious
worship.
-Keep and spend a
reasonable sum of money.
Civil rights retained by
the patient of a mental
health facility include the
right to register and vote,
to marry and diverse and to
make purchases and dis
pose of property. These
rights can only be revoked
is the patient has been
legally declared incompe
tent.
Driver's licenses can not
be revoked unless other
wise prohibited.
Physical restraints and
seclusion are only used
when necessary to prevent
danger of abuse of himself
or others or as part of
treatment. The law in
cludes the protections of
reporting and observation
when such actions arc
required. Corporal punish
ment is not allowed.
The right to treatment is
also listed in the legisla
tion. Each patient is to have
an individual ti-eatment or
habilitation plan developed
by the mental health or
mental retardation profes-

HOW TO HANDLE CONVALESCENCE
Dear Dr. Esse: My husband had a severe heart attack
three weeks ago. His doctor advises, now that he is
convalescing at home, that he stay away from business
at least another two months.
But my husband prides himself on not being a
“fraidy cat.” He is already on the phone to his office
and sales people. He tells me that he can’t possibly
stay away for two months.
Besides, he thinks most patients with heart attacks
almost scare themselves to death. They baby
themselves too much. He has a friend who has sold his
business, given up his golf, and lives like an invalid.
Why? Because he has had a heart attack and wants to
prevent another. “I’m not going to live like that,” my
husband says. “I’d rather be dead.”
What do you suggest? — Mrs. F.
COMMENT: You and his doctor had better get
together to see if you can drive some sense into him.
One extreme is as bad as another. Living scared “like
an invalid” isn’t something I recommend. But neither
is it advisable to invite another heart attack by
becoming too active too soon. It takes time for the
sick heart to restore itself. When a main coronary
artery has been blocked off, collateral circulation
doesn’t form overnight. Therefore, my suggestion to
your husband is that he be thankful that he has
recovered from his heart attack. And to show his
appreciation by living in low gear for a few more
weeks. There will be time enough later for almost full
return to business, golf, social distractions — and a
normal way of life.
Convalescence — no matter what the original Ulness
or operation — is a critical stage in recovery. Resumed
activity should be gradual. This is as true for activity
following an attack of flu as it is following gallbladder
surgery or convalescence from tuberculosis.
I have observed many unnecessary tragedies in
patients who might have been well on the way to
complete recovery — they spoiled it all by being too
impatient during convalescence. In case of illness, do
not try to resume normal activities too soon. Give the
body and mind a chance to readjust.
For Mrs. J.: I recall the old-fashioned methods of
treatment for sciatica. When a husband came down
with an attack of pain in the back and leg, many a
wife would use him as an ironing board — running a
hot iron up and down, hoping the heat would help.
Sometimes it did.
But in your husband’s case, I suggest that diagnosis
is more important than temporary treatment with a
hot iron. Insist that he follow his doctor’s suggestion
to have X-ray studies. What’s necessary is to discover
the reason for his back and leg pain. Is it due to
arthritis? To disc trouble in the spine? To something
else? Treatment wiU be more effective after the
diagnosis has been made.
For Mr. C.: Blood in the urine may be due to a
stone in the kidney or in the ureter (the tube leading
from kidney to bladder). Especially with your history
of having passed a stone three years ago.
But there may be some other reason. This is why
your doctor recommends special, X-ray study of your
bladder and kidneys. He wants to be sure that tumor
or infection isn’t the cause.

Veterans Administration
Make certain the right
person is beneficiary on
your GI insurance policy,
the Veterans Administra
tion reminds five million
veterans covered under its
government life insurance
program. Otherwise, you
nuiy add to emotional stress
of survivors when it is
discovered the intended
beneficiary \'as not named
on the policy.
In such cases, according
to VA Regional Office
Director H.W. .lohnson. VA
is obligated by law to pav
insurance proceeds to the
beneficiary of record. Most
of the agency’s insureds
are World War II veterans
who carry National Service
Life Insurance.
The problem of insurance
benefits going to an
unintended recipeint arises
in most instances becausc
the veteran simply never
gets around to changing his
beneficiary, Johnson said.
In a typical case, the
veteran named his mother
as beneficiary when he tlrsl
look out his policy. When
he married, he forgot to
notify VA that he wished to
change his beneficiary.
Besides emotional stress,
tlie result often is unwar
ranted financial hardship,
especially for his widow
and young children.
Johnson urged any
veteran who wishes to
ascertain or changc his
beneficiary to contact the
VA Insurance Center to
which he pays his prem
iums -- either in Philadel
phia or St. Paul. Be sure to
provide as much informa
tion as possible, including
policy number, full name
and address.
