difference in how you perform at
school or on the job
Studies show people who miss
breakfast become more tired and
lease efficient in the morning than
those who don't skip the meal
Breakfast is especially important
for youngsters In the national 4-H
Foods and nutrition program, girls
and boys nine-19 learn-by doine
Some poeple used to believe that winds were kept in jars by a god on a
mountain
that a good breakfast can prevent
physical and mental fatigue and
can supply up to one-fourth of their
daily nutritional needs, says
Charles Gardner, 4-H specialist
with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service. Texas A&M
University System
4-H members say it doesn't
really matter what you eat for
breakfast as long as there is a
balance of foods Therefore, select
something from each of the four
basic groups: milk and dairy
products; meat, fish and eggs:
breads and cereals, and fruits and
vegetables.
Young people can learn all about
nutrition and food preparation in
4-H projects and avtivities
supervised by the Extension
Service and supported by the
General Foods Corporation
The 4-H foods and nutrition
program encourages the develop
ment of good food habits that last a
lifetime. It provides opportunities
for 4-H'ers to plan, purchase,
prepare and serve tasty, nutritious
meals and snacks

cent interpretations of H B 72. He
added that students at Hio High
have been told for several months
that not passing all their classes
could keep them from participating
in the Fair
A new division category added to
the livestock division is the capon
division This Sunday, capons will
be slaughtered, dressed, and
chilled at the Marcelo Montalvo
residence, with judging to take
place at 3:30 p.m The grand
champion and reserve grand

at the fair, as will some live birds
Margo said it is hoped that a
horse division can be added next
year Rabbits and pigeons were
shown for the first time at the 1984
fair An adults arts and crafts
division will be featured for the
first time at the 1985 fair
Peterson is optimistic about this,
year's fair, saying that participa-
tion is increasing quite a bit in
every department The way it
looks, it's turning out to be the
largest fair we've ever had We're
going to have a real good show : the
best we've ever had
Peterson said that entries in the
livestock division show a 35 percent
increase over 1984. Of the planned
improvements, he said that they're
"going to get done one way or
another." but urged citizens to help
the effort along
The Fair Association was formed
in October 19&3 so "all entities
could be represented," said Margo

after the differential is removed

differential for spare parts. The
other two bids were considered

"What we could do," stated
Superintendent Garza, "is
approach Benito Cantu who could
sell the buses in parts in his
used-parts business; we might be
able to work out a deal with him"
The board gave its approval.
Another item decided was the
appointment of the 1984-1985
Teacher Appraisers for RISD.
Superintendent Garza suggested
that the principal and the assistant
principal of each campus be
named
Roma Elementary Principal
Guadalupe Gonzalez seemed to
concur with Garza's suggestion as
he explained that the principals
and their assistants were receiving
training in a workshop concerning
"teacher evaluations"
Gonzalez expressed concern that
the training was being done so late
into the school year, Supt. Garza
offered that, although it is already
February, the teacher evaluations
will be done in time to comply with
TEA's mandate.
RISD Board President Cesar
Salinas called for a motion to
accept the superintendent's rec
ommendations; the motion was
made, seconded, and unanimously
passed
A final matter decided was the
adoption of Update 24 of the
manual for Texas School Boards
The three-part update calls for the
following: a student involved in
U.I.L extra-curricular activities
must pass all his subjects with an
average of 70 or better, notices
must be sent out after the third
week of any six-weeks to notify the
parents of failing students; and
emergency early dismissals for the
school district can not exceed six
times
The board unanimously approved
the update With no matters being
discussed in executive session, the
meeting was adjourned
