LANDFILL IDEA-
(Continued From Page 1A)
there appears to be an
increase on garbage and
refuse dumped beside county
and state roads, which is
making maintenance of the
ditches very difficult as well
as causing unsightly messes
throughout the county.
Judge Ray said that he felt
landfills could be financed .
through revenue bonds with
the fees for dumping paying
for the facilities.

The judge said that should

would likely be more than one

for all areas of Van Zandt.

DIET, NUTRITION
AFFECT HEALTH
One factor in the search for
long life is diet and nutrition.
“Among those very long
lived people in remote areas,
it was found that they
consume between two-fifths
and two-thirds of the average
daily American caloric
intake.”
“Their diet consists of foods
rich in protein and low fats.”
“The fat-rich American diet
is associated with both obesity
and heart disease.”
“In contrast, low-fat diets
are associated with a high
level of fitness and low
incidence of heart disease,”
Mrs. Vivian Blair, family life
education specialist at Texas
A&M says.
Psychological and cultural
influences are difficult to
messure, but they are
considered another factor in
long life, according to Mrs.
Vivian Blair, family life
specialist at Texas A&M.

remote areas are productive

PEOPLE OVER-USE
MANY VITAMINS
When people think their
bodies are lacking nutrients,
they often turn to vitamin
pills or tonics, says Texas
Medical Association. If a
person realizes he or she is
not eating properly, the most
economical and healthiest
thing to do is to correct bad
eating habits instead of
downing possibly unnecessary
vitamins, TMA says. Even if
the vitamin supplements are
not harmful to the body, they
may be an unnecessary
expense unless a physician or
registered dietitian
recommends them.
The really dangerous
vitamin fads stress
consuming large amounts of
certain vitamins for ills
ranging from cancer to cold
feet. The body just gets rid of
excess amounts of most
vitamins but some can be
damaging;. For instance,
taking large amounts of
vitamins A or D can cause
such things as headache,
vomiting, skin problems and
other symptoms. Treating
diseases such as cancer with
nothing but vitamins can lead
to symptoms, such as death,
which are somewhat more
serious than headache.
Harlan Lawrance, 16 year
old grandson of Roy and
Marcelle Ashley of Canton,
recently sold his Grand
Champion steer, “Butch” in
the Quadrangle auction at
DeSoto. Butch was purchased
by the First National Bank of
Lancaster, First Security of
Lancaster and Trinity Grain
for a record price of $2.00 a
pound. The 1,165 pounds
totaled $2,330.00 This was a
“first” Grand Champ steer
for Lancaster to ever have at
Quadrangle.
Butch nad taken Grand
Champion at three shows in a
row: Lancaster Livestock
show in February, Dallas
County Livestock Show on
March 10 and Quadrangle
Livestock Show March 17.
CONSUMERS CONFUSED
BY FAT AND FABLES
Consumers are getting lost
in a “waist land” of fat and
fables, the Texas Medical
Association (TMA) says.
Junk food and nutritional fads
are increasingly available to
lure people away from
healthy habits.
For instance, nutritional
theories abound that push
intake of large amounts of
various substances. These
theories, stressing substances
ranging from rice to vitamins,
may have a grain of truth
buried in them somewhere.
But they often go too far,
sometimes to the point of
being dangerous, TMA says.
Often theories are just
useless, such as the diet that
stresses eating mostly
grapefruit. This diet can
deplete body supplies of
almost everything except fat.

plan, says Pat Seaman, a
housing and home furnishings

Heated air always flows
toward cooler air, so to
prevent home heat loss in the
winter or heat gain in the
summer, create window

American consumers lost
an estimated $1 billion to mail
fraud and misrepresentation
by mail in Fiscal Year 1977,
Postmaster Jack Harris said
today.
In order to heighten public
awareness of the problem,
April 10-15 has been
designated the third annual
Postal Consumer Protection
Week by Postmaster General
William F. Bolger.
“The public must be
constantly on guard against
fantastic claims and get rich
quick schemes,” Harris said.
“The nation’s best defense
against unscrupulous con
artists using the mails is an
informed public.”
The Postal Service actively
investigates mail fraud and
false representation by mail,
and assists with mail-order
and service problems.
Harris stressed that the
overwhelming majority of
companies making up the $60
billion mail-order industry
are honest and dedicated to
customer satisfaction. But, as
in many other industries, a
few operators are out to bilk
the public.
“Schemes directed at
consumers are limited only by
the imagination of the con
artist,” Harris said. “They
know many people are willing
to invest their hard earned
money on offers which sound
too good to be true.”

Vegetarian Diets
Vegetarian diets.... no
meat, poultry or fish... .have
risen in popularity recently.
But the major concern in
planning a vegetarian diet is
to insure that the protein
quality is adequate, according
to Mrs. Ella Faye Carlile, Van
Zandt County Extension
Agent.
“Getting enouth protein is
usually not a problem since
the average adult requires
only about 46-56 grams of
protein each day. Although
foods of vegetable origin
contain some protein, they do
not have the variety of the
impertant amino acids that
animal proteins do. To obtain
a good balance of amino acids
and to improve the quality of,
vegetable proteins, animal
and vegetable proteins should
be combined.
Mrs. Carlile suggested
making corn tortillas with
cheese, cereal with milk and
macaroni with cheese. Also,
meat, eggs and dairy
products.
“This diet severely limits
the nutrients found in the
meat and milk groups.
Vitamin B 12 is found only in
meat, fish, eggs and dairy
products, and the strict
vegetarian will miss this
important nutrient unless
supplements are made,” she
warned.
She also pointed out that the
strict vegetarian diet may be
deficient in clcium,
riboflavin and iodine.
.... Ovo-lacto vegatarian:
excludes meat, fish and
poultry, but includes eggs and
dairy products.
.. ..Lacto-vegetarian:
excludes meat, poultry, fish
and eggs, but includes dairy
products.
“The Ovo-lacto and
Lacto-vegetarian diets can be
nutritionally acceptable. But
the strict vegetarian diet is
dangerous and not
recommended for Ibng
periods of time.”

HEADACHES USUALLY
ARE NOT SERIOUS
Headache is one of the most
common complaints heard in
and out of doctors’ offices, the
Texas Medical Association
says. The causes are
numerous and usually are not
seriou unless occurring
under certain conditions.
This list gives some
headache circumstances that
are signals to see a physician
soon: sudden, severe
headache “out of the blue”;
headache associated with
fever; headache associated
with convulsions; headache
accompanied by confusion or
lessening of consciousness;
headache following a blow on
the head; headache
associated with local pain in
the eye, ear. or elsewhere;
headache beginning in the
older person previously free
of headache; recurring
headache in children;
headache at any age which
interferes with normal living;
daily or frequent headache.
