that skipping breakfast had a strong
negative impact, especially among
teenage girls, on the quality of their
diets.
calorie needs of teenagers during
the adolescent growth spurt.
Reducing fat intake in teenagers
also means decreasing the amount
of protein they get from meat, eggs
and dairy products. Yet these foods
are needed for normal growth.
When a child or adolescent is
diagnosed as being at risk for heart
disease because of family history or
a high blood cholesterol level, the
benefits of a low fat diet aren’t
disputed.
Buta low fat diet isn’t a necessity,
and could not be harmful if applied
to all healthy children.

The major national health
organizations are trying to convince
Americans to reduce their risk of
heart disease by cutting the fat in
their diets to no more than 30
percent of daily calories.
Is this good for children and
teenagers? Probably not. Most
children and adolescents now get 30
to 40 percent of their calories from
fat and medical authorities believe it
should stay in that range.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics is concerned that a lower
fat diet may have detrimental
effects on the growth and
maturation of healthy children Fat
is a concentrated source of energy
needed for normal growth.
In addition, the benefits of low fat
diets for children have not been
Philosopher on his Johnson grass
farm on Route 2 reports on
perfumes or scandals or possibly
both this week.
Dear editor:
I opened a magazine the other day
and smelled perfume. I couldn’t
firgure it out.
Then later on I read in a
newspaper that perfume companies
are putting a special preparation on
their ads that gives off the odor of
their brand of perfume. The
perfume I smelled however In that
magazine smelled like a blend of
perfume and printer’s ink.
Furthermore, other businesses
are taking up the fad. I don’t know
how they swing it, but Rolls-Royce
has an ad that gives off the leathery
smell of a Rolls interior. It says
calls to the company increased four-
fold after the ad appeared. Human
nature is hard to figure out. Or
perhaps prospective Rolls-Royce
buyers have keener noses and
bigger bank accounts.
The fad continues to spread. A dog
food company has a newspaper ad
that gives you a whiff of its brand of
dog food. I don’t know if this
encourages a reader to buy dog food
or if it encourages a dog to chew up
the newspaper.

Keep Grass
Clippings
». . .
By David Tunmire
County Extension Agent - Ag.
Mowing the lawn generates grass
clippings that are excellent for a
compost pile.
Compost is a good source of
organic matter for gardens and
flower beds. Furthermore,
composting is an excellent way to
dispose of garden debris, leaves and
similar plant material.
Make the compost pile four to six
feet wide and any length, depending
on material and space available.
The simplest composting method
is to alternate four to six inch
ayers of plant matter, such as
caves or grass, with two to four
inches of good garden soil. Add
manure to the soil layer if it’s
available, and sprinkle commercial
fertilizer on each layer of plant
matter to hasten decomposition.
Use a cupful of fertilizer with a 1-1-1
ratio per 10 square feet.
The top layer of the compost pile
should be soil and should form a
basin to hold water. Water each
layer of organic matter before
adding the soil layer.
Water the pile thoroughly when
completed; then add water as
needed to keep the material moist
but not soggy. Leaves decompose
slowly if too dry.
Turn compost every three to four
months to aerate the material and
speed decomposition. Within six
months to a year, it will be ready to
use, and you’ll be glad you saved
those grass clippings.

IMPACT OF BREAKFAST ON
CHILDREN’S DIETS

Using data from a nationwide food

have found that breakfast skipping

most common among teenage girls.

at the family’s Fourth of July picnic

throughout Texas this summer as a

The most common case of in jury is
due to unsupervised children

Children should not play with
fireworks as they are not toys. Even
children with sparklers need to be
supervised as toddlers will grab at
the lit sparkler, which is hot enough
to burn someone.
Eye injury to another area of
medical concern when it comes to
firework safety. According to the
American • - Academy of
■ Ophthalmologists, dose to 4,000
people will suffer eye injuries, with

loss, due to faulty firework handling.
According to one doctor, bottle

SAFE FOURTH OF JULY CALLS
FOR CAUTION WITH
FIREWORKS
been drinking alcoholic beverages
should never be allowed to handle or
ignite explosive fireworks. Alcohol
has been proven to slow down
response time.
Nationwide, more than half the
states have adopted a model law
which limits the use of fireworks to
licensed displays or relatively safe
fireworks such as sparklers. A
three-state study indicated that
there were ten times more fireworks
injuries where no model law was in
effect.
. - r
If individuals plan to include
fireworks in their festive Fourth of
July celebration, they are urged to
take the following precautions:
'Always wear safety goggles or
glasses when setting off fireworks.
'Only adults should handle or
ignite explosive fireworks.
•Adults should be present to
supervise children during the use of
the relatively safe fireworks such as
sprinklers.
'Do not put firecrackers in a bottle
or tin can, or under a clay pot. When
such objects shatter, the fragments
are often propelled into the eye,
causing serious eye injury.
•Know what you are buying in
terms of firepower and the
appropriate safety measures for
igniting the firework.
•Do not use fireworks near dry
grassy fields or shrubbery.
Firework sparks and hot Texas
summers are the right combination
for the wrong event - fires.

This new type of scented
journalism has lots of possibilities
and gives big city newspapers a
chance to demonstrate their
celebrated nose for news.
For example, when a new scandal
breaks in Washington, like the
present one involving the Defense
Department and Defense
contractors involving billions of
taxpayers’ dollars, editors in
reporting it could use a special ink
which, when you open your paper,
gives off an odor that smells to high
Heaven.
