USDA'S FINAL CONSUMER
AFFAIRS PLAN PRESENTED
Waiting in Style
Don't Be Caught Short
WASHINGTON, DC
' The U.S. Department
01 Agriculture presented
to the public this month a
final consumer affairs
plan which includes con
sumer forums throughout
the country on critical
issues affecting con
sumers, such as food,
rural affairs and natural
resources.
"Our plan calls for
establishing an office of
Consumer Affairs to en
courage consumer par
ticipation in USDA deci
i sion making and to ensure
consideration of consumer
interests by USDA deci
sion makers," said Neil
Schalier, special assistant
to the Secretary of
Agriculture for consumer
affairs.
Schalier will be the
director of the new office.
He also represents USDA
on a new Consumer Af
fairs Council, chaired by
Esther Peterson, special i
assistant to the president
for consumer affairs.
"The foundation of our
plan is better communica
tion between USDA ana
the consuming public, "
Schalier said. "We need to
help consumers .increase
their awareness,
understanding and access.
But we also need better
appreciation of consumer
interests within USDA. As
a part of our plan, .key
program agencies in
USDA have already
designated consumer af-.
fairs contacts. And we will
prepare a guide to
USDA's consumer-related
programs and oppor
tunities for consumer in
volvement." The Office of Con
sumer Affairs will also
develop improved USDA
guidelines for handling
consumer complaints, in
cluding effective use of
complaints in day-to-day
decision making, he said
"We received over 100
comments on USDA's
Dec. 10 proposed con
sumer affairs plan,"
Schalier said. "We've in
corporated many of these
comments and suggestions
in our final plan."
"We'll work closely
with USDA's existing
decision system and its
public participation and
program staffs to help
make all of this happen,"
Schalier said. "We aren't
going to reinvent the
wheel."
USDA joined 35 federal
agencies which presented
comparable plans to im
prove their response to
consumers.
President Jimmy Carter
stressed his personal sup
port of these plans recent
ly at a White House press
conference attended by
heads of several agencies,
including Secretary of
Agriculture Bob Bergland.

Running out of tooth
paste is one thing, but
running out of contracep
tive foam unexpectedly...
just when you need it the
most... can be crucial and
terribly frustrating.
After all, such a dis
turbing discovery might
come at a time when
you're least in the mood
to estimate the contents
of an aerosol can. Shak
ing the can or trying to
weigh it in your hand
simply will not provide a
correct reading. And any
thing but an accurate
measure can be risky.
Fortunately, Emko Con
traceptive Foam has come
through in this crisis.
Emko, the safe and effec
tive contraceptive foam
that millions of women
have found so convenient
to use has a unique fea
ture called the Weigh
Cap. This Weigh Cap pro
vides the means for vis
ually determining when
the foam is running low,
and it's part of the cover
of the aerosol containers
of Emko and Emko Pre
Fil Foam Contraceptives.
The Weigh Cap elimin
ates the unpleasant sur
prise of being low.. .or
: being out.. Just when you
want to use Emko foam
again.
The Weigh Cap works
simply. You need only
lift the cap in mid-air by
the white button on the
cover, and when the bot
tom half shows black, it
means you have enough
foam for at least one more
full application. When the
black begins to disap
pear, it is time to pur
chase a new Emko or Pre
Fil Foam refill container,
although there is still
enough foam left for at
least one fullapplication.
When no black appears,
the can does not contain
an adequate supply of
foam.
The Schering Corpora
tion, makers of Emko and
Pre-Fil Foam Contracep
tives, has a free bro
chure for you. "Important
Information About Con
traception." It is full of
information on contra

Gallup Poll On Eye Care
Prompts Doctors' Reaction
RALEIGH A recent
Gallup poll has North
Carolina medical eye doc
tors ready to become
educators.
The survey showed that
only 55 per cent of the na
tion's adults know the dif
ference between an
ophthalmologist and op
tometrist. "We find this fact ex
tremely disturbing," said
Dr. Maurice B. Landers,
III, president of the North
Carolina Society of
Ophthalmology and a
member of the faculty of
the Dqke University Eye
Center. "While optometry
and ophthalmology both
deal with the eye, there is a
difference, and every
North Carolinian should
understand this difference
in order to make an in
formed choice when seek
ing eye care."
The Society, a group of
over 200 medical eye doc
tors from across the state,
plans to increase its educa
AiotMkLffort$ iii(;,a)m
ing weeks and months.
"We'll make speeches,
distribute pamphlets and
posters and show slides,"
said Dr. Landers. "We
want our state's citizens,
from grade school up, to
know the distinction."
Dr. Landers pointed out
that an ophthalmologist is
a medical doctor trained
in the diagnosis and treat
ment (including surgery)
of all defects and diseases
of the eye. "In other
words," Dr. Landers said,
"an ophthalmologist may
perform cataract surgery
in the morning and in the
afternoon identify a case
of lazy eye, diagnose
possible diabetes and
prescribe glasses for so
meone who is near
sighted." An optometrist is train
ed to test the eyes for non
medical defects of vision
such as nearsightedness,
and to prescribe and
dispense corrective lenses.
He is not a medical doc
tor. In finding that only 55
per cent of all Americans
know the difference bet
ween an ophthalmologist
and optometrist, the
Gallup poll reported
"meaningful differences"
among the various
population groups inter
viewed: More women than
men know the difference.
. People between thirty
and 65 years of age are
: more knowledgeable than
younger or older adults, i
Professionals and 1
business executives were
better informed than those
in other occupational
groups.
People who wear
glasses and contact lenses
are more likely to know
the difference in the .two
fields.
People in rural areas are
less likely to know the dif
ference than those in ur
ban areas.
' More than 3,000 adults,
ages 18 and older, were in
terviewed in the poll, a
procedure the Gallup
i organization says is
designed to produce an
approximation of the
adult population of the
United States.
