While the month end available balances in the Road fund were at reduced levels throughout fiscal 1960 when compared to the pattern of the three previous fiscal years, the drawdown is not necessarily a negative factor as revenue and ex­ penditure levels reached all time record highs. Total Road fund revenues in fiscal I960 were $1,134 billion - $345 million or 43.7 percent higher than total revenues in fiscal 1979, $273 million more than the previous record high of $861 million in fiscal 1976, and $84 million more than the amount estimated for fiscal I960. The increase of $297 million (113.8 percent! .in federal aid accounted for over 86 percent of the total increase in revenues and was $182 million more than the previous annual record of $376 million received in fiscal 1976 while topping the Budget estimate by $107 million. State sources increased by $48 million of 9.1 percent with approximately $46 million resulting from new legislation, effective in the last half of fiscal 1960, which directed the transfer of a percentage of the state sales taxes to the Road fund ($36 million) and to the Motor Fuel Tax fund which through the normal distribution of revenues from that fund netted the Road fund another $10 million from state sales taxes. This $46 million influx of sales taxes more than negated the $21 million decline in transfers of motor fuel tax from the Motor Fuel Tax fund to the Road fund (these transfers in fiscal 1980 were deflated by about $6 million due to a delay in the deposit of $16 million of May 1980 motor fuel tax until June 1980 which deflated the June 1980 apportionment and will inflate the July 1980 apportionment), while cash receipts from motor vehicle and operators licenses and other regular sources in­ creased by $27 million of 7.4 percent. Total revenues from state sources were $23 million less than the amount estimated for fiscal 1980. Total expenditures from the Road fund were $1,159 billion in fiscal 1980 - $307 million or 36.0 percent higher than total spending in fiscal 1979 (the previous record high) and $115 million greater than estiamted spending in fiscal 1980. Spending for highway construction increased by $299 million or 84.0 percent and represented over 97 percent of the total increase in spending. Spending at this level is $155 million above the previous record high of $500 million in fiscal 1976, $113 million greater than estimated spending in fiscal 1960 and $26 million more than was spent in the previous two fiscal years. All other warrants issued and transfers out increased by only $8 million in fiscal 1960 over the fiscal 1979 record while exceeding estimated spending by $2 million. by Marion Oban Food shoppers who lived during the depression still express joy over putting away the groceries. Others find it a chore. 0 The Food and Drug administration is concerned not with our pleasure or pain in storing foods, but with how we store them. They ask, "Do you store potatoes, onions or canned goods under the kitchen sink?" Foods stored near water pipes are subject to leakage which is damaging to fresh foods and causes rusting in canned foods. Also,' the openings for pipes Are almost impossible to seal adequately from invasion by insects and rodents. Storing foods near those openings is an invitation to . such unwelcomed guests. Distractions such as the telephone may cause shoppers to allow groceries to remain on the counter instead of storing immediately. Milk and meat are easily contaminated by bacteria if not refirgerated immediately, particularly in warm weather. -Stored canned foods require regular cleaning and thisting. Stickiness underneath canned foods may indicate leakage from the can. Poisons may be present in a leaky can. When you encounter this situation, it's best to discard the can or return it to the place of purchase. Some foods which- have traditionally been kept in cabinets after opening a c t u a l l y r e q u i r e refrigeration. Among them are peanut butter, some parmesan cheeses (check the label), syrups and honey. And, the old habit of storing a container of bacon clippings on the stove or c o u n t e r c o u r t s contamination. Drippings belong in the refrigerator. Anyone who has dtocovered a moldy leftover in the back of the refrigerator realize* that refrigeration in itself does not guarantee freeh food. Broths, gravies, stuffings, chicken salad, potato salad, poultry, fish, liver, kidneys, brains and giblets are some foods which should only be refrigerated for a day or two before eating. Bread stays fresher longer at room temperature, but in warm weather is leas likely to mold if refrigerated. The cabinet above ttk* stove is generally too warm making even dry foods go stale. Smelling or tasting a food does not test its freshness and could be fatal. When in doubt, throw it out There are times when thriftiness may endanger your health.

The survey ie conducted by the Bureeu of the Census for the Department of Housing and 'Urban Development* in response to the need for frequent and up-to-date information on the Nation's housing inventory, con­ sidered a prime indicator of the nation's economic well- being. For the 1980 survey, a sample of 90,000 housing units out of the nation's 86 million has been selected to represent a cross section of all housing in the United States. The -sample was originally selected from 1970 census records and has been updated each year to include new construction, con­ versions, and losses from the housing inventory. Previously, information on the housing inventory came only from the decennial census of housing, irregular sample surveys, and one­ time special studies. With regular annual surveys it is possible to make year to year comparisons of the number and types of housing, changes in the total housing stock resulting from losses and new construction, and changes in housing cost and the cost of services and utilities. Timely information will be available for a wide variety of items related to housing, such as indicators of the structural characteristics of residential units, and the characteristics of the oc­ cupants and those who move over the years. C e n s u s B u r e a u representatives will begin interviewing households the middle of August and the work will continue for about PAGE|-PLAINDEA!4fe-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6. 1980 ADULT DAYCARE Gov.

Construction will twgin in spring of 1981, with completion expected bv mid-1982.

Households in the sample will be mailed an introductory letter prior to tht interviewer's visit. For unoccupied units, in­ formation will be obtained from landlords, rental agents, or neighbors. Joint HUD-Census reports on the results of the survey are expected to be issued in late 1981. Statistics will be tabulated for the U.S., for each of the four census regions, for urban and rural areas, for Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as a whole, both inside and outside central cities, and for the remainder of the country (non-metropolitan areas). • •• • few people complain about being over-reward- ed by life's fortunes. programs,' The facility will serve as • * • * Why is it that the unin­ formed are so-> satisfied with themselves?
