Extension Home Economics News Eat Smart What should you eat to stay healthy? Hardly a day goes by without someone trying to answer that question. And it is true that some of that advice is confusing and some of it is untrue. Most experts stress the impor tance of moderation in the diet. Too . much of any one food or beverage ? ?-=-c 1 can be harmful. Likewise, totally omitting any one food group from the diet is usually not necessary. ? Researchers also agree that food alone cannot guarantee good health. Your vim, vigor and vitality are influenced by heredity, activity, the environment and your attitudes or mental health. As of yet, we do not know everything there is to know about human nutrition. Until we find all the answers, the best advice may be do remember the "do" list and the "avoid" list. These suggestions are based on what nutritionists know about the relationship between food and health. The "do" list includes: eat a variety of foods; maintain ideal weight; and eat food with adequate amounts of starch and fiber. The "avoid" list puts a ban on too much sugar, too much sodium and too mucti saturated fat. Loaning Money It's hard to say "no" when a friend or relative asks vou to loan him some money, but these trans actions may have their pitfalls. The borrower may have other credit obligations with higher in terest rates and the possibility of a debt cc'lector at the door. So he'll have to pay those first. If he can't pay the loan back, he may be become so guilt-ridden that the relationship may become strained. They he's likely to not pay you at all. Lending money is a business transaction, so treat it as such. Agree on the amount borrowed. interest to be charged and repay ment schedule and have it in writing. Then if the person defaults, you will have the documentation you need to ' claim a nonbusiness bad debt as an income tax deduction. An alternative: treat the loan as a gift. line Al llti- linn*, we offer our waritie*l M regard* lo our j{onther Install Junior FFA Officers At the November social, the members of the South Lenoir chapter held a new officer ceremony to install its 1984-85 Junior FFA chapter officers.

Business Administration/Criminal Justice i I Clarence received an Associate Degree in Business Administration in 1983, and is now completing a second degree in Criminal Justice. He is a good example of what the older student returning to school can achieve. "One dream I always had was attending college, but I never had the opportunity. In 1980, after ending a 25-year career in the Navy, I figured it was now or never." ,"I was hesitant at first, not sure I could do it after being out of school so long. But my instructors were very encouraging to me. They helped me see I could succeed and gave me confidence in myself." "I've enjoyed getting to know the other students here. JSTC is a real friendly place, and I'll miss it when I graduate." i James Sprunt Technical College "We're Interested In Your Future" For More Information About Our Over Twenty Career Programs Call Us At 296-1341 Jh (From Wallace Dial Toll Free 285-2077) Register For Winter Classes m ^ 0p|Mttln(y Wednesday, January 2 /MOnativi ?cti* Eapiq* f ?
