SEE THE FACTS ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT ON FOOT
LABELS . , ... . -jf:- ., ; r'-.:
Next time you're in the supermarket, take a careful look at the
labels of the foods you buy, because over the next few months
and years, there will be significant changes in the information on
the labels.
The changes will come about because of a Food and Drug
Administration Program to make food labeling more informative
as an aid to better nutrition. The program is designed to provide
information that American consumers can use to identify and
select nutritious foods. Government studies indicate that many
Americans don't get the amounts of esential vitamins and
minerals they need. Modern lifestyles in our society sometimes
make it hard to choose a balanced diet.
Many women are working and have less time for planning and
preparing meals. The highly varied and mobile life of many
people means that .each day's nutrition Is the total of various
meals and snacks eaten at different times and places, rather than
three planned meals. Pressures of time have led to increased use
of convenience foods with little thought about their nutritional
contribution. Breakfast is increasingly prepared and eaten at
different times by individual members of S the family.. The
traditional evening family meals is frequently; interrupted by
varying schedules of family members. As; packaged foods and
recipes have become more complex, it's harder to fit them into
the basic four groups: vegetables and fruit, milk products, meat,
breads and cereals. !
Spanish souffle, for example, is used as a vegetable but also
contains milk products and is a good source of protein. With
nutrition labeling, you know what is in a product and what it
contributes to the diet. .
Leaders in health and nutrition, the food industry and
consumers have become concerned about and are all giving
greater attention to the nutritional values of food and how food
can be selected to improve the nutritional status of our
population.
All nutrition information must follow a standard format. The
information includes the size of a serving and the total number of
servings in the container.
The number of calories and the weight in grams of protein,
carbohydrate and fat are listed per serving. Optional information
is the fat content by degree of saturation and the amount of
cholesterol. The sodium content may also be listed. This is very
helpful to persons on physician's recommended modified diets.
Every nutrition information panel gives the percentage of the
U.S. Recommended Daily allowance for protein, five vitamins
and two minerals. Percentage of the U.S. RDA for an additional
12 vitamins and minerals may be listed. Since nutrition is the
process by which all living organisms obtain and use nutrients
from food for the maintenance of their functions, for the growth
and reapir of tissues, and for reproduction, a clear understanding
of what nutrients do for the body is necessary for one to
beneficailly use nutrition labels.

. Why dq Nations Go To
War? This question, has
haunted serious thinking social
scientlstia for many years. We
may note that was is rooted
deep into -; the history , of
mankind. Many scholars
believe that wars plagued
manking even during
prehistoric times.
Social scientists have
examined such various patterns
as institutional breakdowns,
economic depression class
struggle like that in Soviet
Russia prior to 1917 capitalism
versus Commuuisro nationalism
and racism, inborn aggression.
Social scientists can name
many causes.
Someone has said in the
case of the civil war that it was
not the failure of democracy
that precipated the war
between the states, but rather
the men failed who were
obligated to implement it. This
is true with nations throughout
the world.
When you look at the

western man has travelled since
around the 17th century, the

The American people are in the proces of writing a new
"Social contract" with business and the corporate structure.
Hence, a lecture series: "Social Responsibility, An Indepth look
at the Policy Issues," now being held at New York University and
featuring well-informed speakers. It attempts to make a social
audit of the corporate institution as it exists today. What makes
all this news is that the series is made possible through a grant
from the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation
(ITT), one of the world's largest conglomerates.

the so-called Indian, red man,

The Western white man
made great contributions to
the scientific development of
these nations by economic
exploitation, but a tremendous
price in blood was paid. He
drew blood from these other
nations and had to give blood
in return.

While a lot of folks are screaming and wailing about the lack of
housing and the decrease in building, others are forgoing ahead
and somehow or other building new homes for New Yorkers.
Recently opened was the 600-unit, two tower, 35-story
Schomburg Plaza, sponsored by the multl racial 110th Street
Plaza Housing Development Corp. Then there's the 1199 Plaza
cooperative project, sponsored by the multi-racial hospital union
which will accomdate 5,500 persons. And to be ready soon will
be the St. Philip's On The Park houses, sponsored by the Harlem
parish of St. Philip's Episcopal Church which will house 260
apartment units. What's more, two black firms are sales and rental
agents for this new housing, Homefinders, Ltd. and Webb,

Do you know to conserve energy at home? Then how would
you answer this question, part of a MiniQuiz issued by Con
Edison: Cooking several dishes at one time in the oven is: 1. hard
on the oven, 2. a good way to save gas or electricity; 3. likely to
spoil the fobd. If you answered No. '2, you're saving energy.

Twists of fate. When K.C. Jones and AI Attles were standout
guards as players In the NBA, neither made the All-Star Game. On
January 14 at Phoenix, both appeared as head coaches. Jones is
coach of the Bullets and Attles is coach of the Warriors the first
black All-Star coaches.
Signs of change at the infamous Attica Prison, scene of the
1971 uprising which ended with 32 convlc and 11 employes
dead. Now, 35 of 417 guards are membe' of minority groups.
Still, 1,010 of the 1,588 inmates are members of minorities. But
wait, prior to 1971, none of the guards were members of
minority groups.

Blacks perfer the Baptists, figures prove. There are 22.6
million blacks in the U.S. and more than 10.4 million of them
belong to churches affiliated with three major black Baptist
conventions. In addition, several thousand blacks are members of
the predmonantly white Baptist denominations. Source: Baptist
World Alliance. National Baptist Convention, Inc., (Black) has 6.3
million members. There are about 600,000 blacks In .the
American Catholic Church. '
and others have to
travel a path of brutality,
murder, war and genocide with
the stench of death hovering
along the path every step of
the way? Did this nation and
other have to travel a sordid
route in order to reach the
point in civilization where we
are today? Was there no other
course for the Western man to
take that would have led him
to the pennacle of economic
and technological height where
he finds himself today other
than the bloody road of war he
chose?
What if the Western man
had coshen the road of
education backed with
negotiation and reconciliation?
When you apply this theory it
appears that there was no other
way than the way that was
chosen war. This of course
identifies seemingly one
motivational pattern that has
typically preceeded war. When
all of this is applied to the
present it seems to predict
another American war in the
near future.
Looking closely at the
history of this country and the
methods used to achieve
success, the road of education,
negotiations, reasoning and
reconciliation were apparently
overlooked to the point where
they could see only one road
to lead to success - the road of
violence, murder and war,
taking that which they were
not willing to give in return. It
appears that man's savagery
transcends hjs intellect in his
thrust for power In this
country,
1 Is there any meaning to the
words Jesus used In
reprimanding Simon Peter
when he cut off the high
priest's ear in Jesus' defense?
Jesus said, "Put up your sword
Peter, for he who fights With
thesword shall perish by it."
This nation in time will
Ineyltably perish by the sword.
