Treat Fruits and Vegetables
Right
Colorful fruits and vege
tables look good, retain their
nutritive value, and offer
variety to meals if you pre
pare {hem right. Crisp raw
fruits and vegetables make
excellent salads, appetizers,
snacks, relishes or desserts.
When you serve them raw.
fruits and vegetables usually
provide the greatest number
of nutrients and the lowest
number of calories.
Cooked fruits and vege
tables can be delicious and
nutritious if you prepare
them right. For example,
many vegetables retain most
of their nutrients, color and
shape if you will cook them in
a small amount of water for
the shortest time possible to
make them edible. This
principle of cooking is im
portant since some vitamins
arc soluble in water and
easily destroyed by heat.
Another change that
might occur from over
cooking is dulling of color,
especially in bright green
vegetables. There might be a
breakdown of texture, so it is
no wonder a short cooking
time is recommended for
most fruits and vegetables.
When you plan family
meals, allow for four or more
servings of fruits and vege
tables each day. Include
green leafy and deep yellow
vegetables often. Serv e them
raw or cook as little as
possible.
Sports Should Be Fun
Are competitive sports
really good for children?
That depends a lot on the
attitudes and pressure of
parents and coaches. Zealous
parents can put a lot of
emphasis on success. It can
take the fun out of a sport
when a youngster comes
home to questions like.
"How many hits did you
get?" rather than "Did you
have a good time?"
Sports can be important to
children for their immediate
play value, not just to win or
meet their parents' expec
tations.
Physical considerations
are important. Children need
time to rest ? even in
competitive play. Adult
supervisors need to be aware
of children's physical
development and strength.
There may be many months
difference between two ten
year-olds.
Many injuries suffered in
competitive sports can be
avoided. It is important for
coaches to regulate competi
tion by matching opponents
according to strength and
ability. Matching team
heights in basketball or
weights in football is one way
this might be done.
Some children just aren't
suited for structured compe
tition and shouldn't be forced
into it. Competition can be
healthy for children who take
011 the challenge by choice,
but they should also have an
alternative ? a way to get
out without losing face. This
might be an activity that can
be performed individually
witliout letting down the
team.
So, take a look at your
views on competitive sports
for children. Sports can be a
fun-learning experience with
the right attitudes and know
ledge or physical abilities.
Helping the Troubled Family
The divorce rate keeps
rising, the number of run
away children keeps multi
plying, and there are more
cases of child abuse than
ever before. It appears that
' Hie American family is in
trouble.
It is true there are many
troubled families, but we are
often too busy pointing the
blaming finger at the
families themselves to take a
* look at what we can do to
help.
We're too quick to say the
cause of delinquent children
is working mothers or the
cause of so many divorces is
selfish people. The real
cause of these problems is
not that simple.
Families are too often left
on their own to cope with all
the pressures of today's so
ciety. What we need to do is
provide more support for
families. We can- do this at
the community level by sup
porting organizations and
agencies that work with
troubled families. We can do
this individually in the way
we treat others.
For example, if we see a
young mother whose chil
dren are too much for her at
times, perhaps we could
offer to care for one or more
of them for an afternoon to
give Iter a break. Or if we
know a lonely person who
might appreciate a family
meal and companionship, we
could invite that person over.
After all. we would appre
ciate someone being kind to
one of our family under the
same circumstances.
So. rather than shrugging
our shoulders and stating
someone else is the cause of
society's problems, we
should look around and see
where we fit in.
Eaay Pots and Pans Cleaning
Scrubbing pots and pans is
no easy or fun chore. In fact,
it is downright discouraging
to scrub and scrub and still
have a black pot or pan. A
little know-how will provide
magical results.
You will need the following
supplies and equipment: (1)
Several Dots and nans with
burned-on grease build-up
(metal or glass). (2) Absor
bent material, such as terry
cloth or paper toweling. (3) A
plastic bag large enough to
hold pot or pan. (4) House
hold ammonia (either suds
ing or non-sudsing). (5) Steel
wool or scrub pad.
Cover bottom of pot or pan
to be cleaned (this is usually
where the black grease build
up occurs) with towels. Pour
Ammonia over towel until It
is well saturated. Place pot
wrapped with ammonia
soaked towel in the plastic
bag and twist end to close to
hold in all fumes. Let this set
overnight. Remove the next
day and scrub with a scrub
pad. The build-up should
come off with a minimum
amount of effort. Should
grease build-up be extra
heavv, a second treatment
may be necessary. A word of
caution: The directions on
the ammonia bottle give a
warning not to use on alumi
num. This is because some
oitting or discoloration may
occur. Your choice may be
discoloration or a dirty black
pan. Experiment on an old
cookie sheet or other dis
carded aluminum ware
determine if the results ar?
acceptable to you.
Window Cleaning Magic
An efficient job of cleaning
windows involves more than
buying the newest cleanins
product or the most expei*>
sive. Many times "old
timey" remedies are good,
effective and inexpensive.
For the possibility of adding
a jingle to your cleaning
budget, you may like .to try
our homemade windovw.
cleaner. You will need r
one-gallon plastic or glass
container. Put in the con
tainer 2 tablespoons of non
s.udsy ammonia, 1 teaspoon
of automatic diswashing de
tergent, 1 pint of rubbing
alcohol and four drops oa))
blue food coloring (optional).
Then fill the container with
water and you have a gallon
of window cleaner for ap
proximately 35 to 40 cents.
Put the cleaner in an empty
spray bottle, and you ar^*
ready to clean windows. In^
order for you not to be
disappointed, be sure to
follow the recipe accurately.
It is essential that non
sudsing ammonia be used.
Put Safety First In 0
Lawn Mowing
Each time you clip the
grass, you and everyone
around you is face-to-face
with a lethal weapon ? the
lawn mower. Every year
about fifty thousand adult/^
and children get hurt in lawi^
mower-related accidents, the
U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission reports. '
Put safety first this
summer when mowing the
lawn. Remember, it's an
adult task. It takes a maturtH
person to know the hazards
and make quick decisions in
case of an accident. It takes
someone who is not easily
distracted by passers-by and
who knows the rules for safe
lawn mower use. _
Here are a few of thosof
rules: take time to clean the
yard of rocks, sticks and toys.
Get children and pets out of
the yard. Wear slacks, shirt
and closed-toed shoes. San
dals and shorts won't do.
Avoid pulling the mowe^P
toward you, and never leave
the mower running unat
tended. Putting safety first
when you mow could prevent
an accident.
