Are Most Artificial
Sweeteners Safe!
COLLEGE STATION — Our
weight-conscious society has in-
creased drastically the use of arti-
ficial sweeteners. Recent research
has confirmed their safety for
human use at normal levels of in-
take.
However, warns Elizabeth Barn-
ard, Extension foods an I nutrition
specialist at Texas A&M, the arti-
ficial sweeteners are nonl nutritive.
“Consumers should remembr that
the sweeteners are a nutritional
zero. They offer none of the nu-
tritional value of sugar, whose
calories are an important part of
the normal diet,” the specialist
adds. However, artificial sweeten-
ers are particularly important to
those for whom the limitation of
carbohydrate intake is mandatory
to health.
Some physicians are concerned
that long-term use of cyclamate,
the artificial sweetener component,
may be harmful to human health,
Miss Barnard says.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion approved the use of artificial
sweeteners in foods and beverages

Aging people face two primary
problems: living alone and poor
housing.
Although deaths, inability to get
around and moving often force
senior citizens to live alone, they
need to be close to people they love.
The amount of close companionship
decreases with age.
Two out of five aged persons are
widowed and half of this age group
are married and living with a
spouse.
Housing is the aging’s second
primary problem.
Much of today’s housing for old-
er people is far from adequate. A
home that is satisfactory for a
younger person is quite different
than a proper home for an older
person.
For older persons, a home should
be: 1. of adequate size and fur-
nishings but of low cost; 2. not too
large and easy to keep; 3. designed
to prevent accidents and 4. close
to adequate shopping facilities,
near recreational, church and com-
munity centers.
Self-Cleaning Ovens Improve
Self-cleaning ovens progress as
better cleaning processes and dif-
ferent designs are developed.
A new catalytic process of clean-
ing the oven costs about one-fourth
what the original type of self-
cleaning process does.

COLLEGE STATION—A “weed”
native to Europe, is being given
dose observation here at Texas
A&M University as a possible oil
j crop for use in making plastic and
| fine lubrication oil for jets and
j certain space equipment.
Dr. Eh L. Whiteley, associate
professor in the Soil and Crop
1 Sciences Department and project
leader of the research study con-
ducted by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station, noted that the
new crop, Brassica, is well-suited
to Texas climate and may make a
good winter crop.
Brassica has seeds which are
high in eurcic acid. Research here
is concerned with about six or
seven species of the plant and
many uses may be found for the
crop.
“The species we are working with
now have a high eurcic acid con-
tent in the seeds and the oil should
make a good market. Rape oil, also
a Brassica, although lower in the
acid content, is being imported
from Canada now, and with a more
steady supply possible industry
may gear for higher usages of the
oil,” Whiteley said.
It may be possible that the plant,
which resembles mustard vreens, Rose Mary Morales, Gregory Ralph,
can be used as human food. White- Suzanne Kessler, Martha Simons,

A special chemical treatment ore
the oven walls prevents soil fion*
adhering or baking to the overt
interior. Soil can be wiped off
easily.
Some manufacturers have found
the new process eliminated the need
for oven insulation. This will in-
crease oven capacity and reduce
repair incidence and cost.
Self-cleaning ovens are taking
new shapes, too. One range has a
sliding cover for the control panel
on the front, double door on the"
upper oven in the eye-level two oven
models, a new sculptured front and
a lift-off top for cleaning. The slid-
ing-control panel permits placing
the controls in front where they
are more visible and accessible
without reaching oven burners.
They also are safe from playing
children.
Another manufacturer has de-
veloped a two—level oven range
with all gas baking and broiling
units in both upper and lower
ovens. Usually upper ovens on two-
level oven gas models are electric-

The use of both machinery and
chemicals by Texas cotton produc-
ers is continuing to increase, ac-
cording to a year-end report re-
leased by Fred C. Elliott, Extension
cotton specialist at Texas A&M
University.
Elliott said nearly three-fourths
of the cotton acreage harvested last
year was treated with chemicals,
including pre and post-emergence
applications and lateral and spot
oiling. Pre-emergence chemicals
were used on more than 1.8 million
acres, which is the highest number
ever recorded, noted the specialist.

being used for research seems to
be resistant to downy mildew.

First Weeks Determine
Child's Brain Growth
COLLEGE STATION — Severe
malnourishment in the first months
of life stunts a child’s brain growth,
new research directly has pointed
out.
The brain damage cannot be re-
paired by proper feeding later in
the child’s life. Frances Reasonover,
Extension foods and nutrition spec •
ialist reports the brain’s working
cells reach their full number just
before and after birth.
The research said the critical
growth period is completed by six
months of age. Miss Reasonover re-
ports that improper feeding before
this time could have 69 percent
below the normal brain cell content.
