Tues., Feb. 12 starting at 10:30

The Golden Years Craft Fund
is very happy to announce that a
donation from surplus funds pur-
chased roll up type plastic shades
for the two kitchen windows
facing the dining room. This is
the practice of this fund to use
money in this way whenever
there is a surplus. The fund was
originated in 1976 from craft
sales to provide money for
materials for handwork. This is
still its primary purpose. Howev-
er whenever a sufficient surplus
accumulates, the goal is to fulfill
a need at the center.
Preparations are being made
for the center’s participation in
the Valentine parade. A center
party on Valentine’s Day will
honor a new Valentine King and
Queen.
We think our center director,
Stan Wocdmansee, is a very
talented man so we are making a
“pitch” for the PIN variety show
to be held Friday, Feb. 1 at the
Fine Arts Building at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $4. Stan will MC and
sing in the show. So, seniors,
let's all turn out for him and all
the other excellent performers.
PIN does a tremendous job
televising all our local events in
Palacios. Since it is all voluntary,
money is needed for equipment
and operating expenses.
Scrimshaw classes are now
being offered on Mondays at
10:45 by Doris Rupprecht in
addition to whittling and wood
carving. The center continues to
be a very busy place and bad
weather has not cut down to any
degree our daily attendance.
Nutrition “chit-chat” deals
this week with the onion. It is
called, in a Houston Post article
by Ted Bartimus, a multifaceted
vegetable. Although seemingly a
rather “humble” food, it is now
being recognized for its nutri-
tional value. The onion has a long
and ancient history. Some onion
growers claim it can "take rust
off a knife, frost off a windshield,
clean gold lead, and even suck
paint odors out of a newly
decorated room.” Another story
is that the onion was used to feed
the Egyptian slaves to give them
strength to build the pyramids.
According to the USDA, one
thick slice of onions has less than
10 calories while a whole medium
only has only 38. Bet you did not
know, too, that the many layers
of the onion contain iron, calci-
um, potassium, protein, B-vita-
mins, and Vitamin C, as well as
fiber.
Appreciation goes this week to
a great volunteer who wishes to
remain anonymous, who faith-
fully, like the mailman, changes
the menu each day and adds a
cheery greeting no matter what
the weather is like.

Avoid fad diets
for safe weight loss
Johnson, was bom June 6, 1890
in Benkleton, Nebraska and died
Jan. 24,1985 in Wagner General
Hospital. She had been a resi-
dent of rural Palacios for six
years.
She is survived by one son,
Wilbert Johnson of Blessing.
She was preceded in death by
her husband, Henry Elmo John-
son.
“Lose weight while you
sleep.” “Amazing diet lets you
eat all you want!” "Lose 20
pounds in one week!”
These advertisements, in mag-
azines, newspapers or television,
all offer a magic, new way to lose
weight without even trying. But
weight control specialists at
Baylor College of Medicine say
over the long run, “fad diets”
are not safe.
These specialists say that safe
weight loss requires a sensible
plan based on three elements: a
lower calorie intake, an increase
in exercise and other changes in
lifestyle.
The first step in the sensible
weight control plan is taking
control over the appetite. Appe-
tite is not hunger-it’s seeing,
smelling and thinking about
food. Many overweight people
unfortunately give in regularly to
their appetite impulses, the
Baylor specialists said.
The next step is to compare
daily caloric intake with daily
need and cut down. The Baylor
specialists say the best way to cut
calories is by eating smaller
portions of food during meals.
While an important part of the
weight control plan is exercise,
there is no need for rigorous
calisthenics. Brisk walking wilf
usually do the trick.
People on this plan can expect
to lose only a pound or two per
week, but the specialists stress
that a slow and steady weight
loss is safer and more likely to
be permanent.
The specialists also suggest
the following buying, storing and
serving tips to help a weight
reduction plan.
-Plan meals for the week.
-Shop right after eating.
-Cook only for only one
serving per person.
-Broil and bake instead of
frying.
-Eat meals at regular times.
-Serve smaller portions.
-Prepare servings in the kit-
chen, not at the table.

weight and exercise, write Baylor
