Offer Taste Test At Fair Fairgoers can "Take the Illinois Thste Test" at the 1983 Illinois State Fair in Springfield and become directly involved in market research for Illinois Food companies. Persons visiting the test market will sample foods free of charge, then fill out a brief product evaluation form. In this way, patrons get a taste of Illinois food products while aiding companies in determining the marketability of those same items. The test market is sponsored by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "Take the Illinois Taste Test" will run the duration of the fair, Thursday, Aug. 11, through Sunday, Aug. 21, from 19 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Em-; merson building at the center of the fairgrounds. Ranging from frozen fruit bars to stroganoff, from pizza to potato chips, from instant maple syrup to microwavable breaded meats "that won't get soggy", products from companies belonging to the Illinois Food Expo will be evaluated during the 11-day taste test. To become a member of the Illinois Food Expo, a company must be headquartered in Illinois or process or grow the actual product within the state, according to Brenda Eden of the Illinois Depart­ ment of Agriculture's Division of Marketing. The taste test will involve 30 dif­ ferent food products representing 16 Illinois companies. Seven of those products have never been on the market. Consumer feedback acquired will result in new, more useful research reports for the makers of Illinois food products and, ultimately, more jobs and consumer benefits for Illinois citizens, Eden said. The exhibition is designed to build a bridge between consumers and the agricultural community. Increased rqarkets for processed Illinois food products result not only in an in­ creased demand for Illinois' raw agricultural commodities but a better environment for farmers, tran­ sporters, retailers and consumers as well. ;An estimated 40,000-50,000 people saw the exhibit in 1982, then called "Taste of the Future", when more than 20,000 evaluations were com­ pleted. According to Eden, "Take the Illinois Taste Test" has many im­ provements. "The facilitites have been upgraded to include a new counter and kitchen allowing us to cook on the site and serve better, fresher products, Eden said. "It will also be a blind test this year, whereas last year the product and the company were known during the evaluation." When you buy an air-conditioning unit, look for the EER rating. It stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio. urgeons s St. Patrick's Parish Picnic will be held Sunday, Aug. 14, at Petersen Park, Area A, from 12U> 6 p.m. All parishioners and theirTamilies are welcome.

A Growing Child Friendliness, like courtesy, makes the give and take of life more en­ joyable. And, like courtesy, frien­ dliness is learned by experience as well as by example. When a child begins walking is a good time to give him a start in learning the art of being friendly, according to Growing Child, the monthly child development newsletter. At two years old, children are so busy exploring, so curious about people and things, that they have not yet become self-conscious about themselves. This is the ideal time for thefil to meet other children in a play situation. Even though children don't usually play with other children until they are" about three, two-year-olds are not too young to learn the fun of mutual ex­ change. Skills in "getting along" with others will increase with each ex­ change and self-confidence will grow with each new acquaintance made. Friendliness is basically a love of other people, and enjoyment of their company, and a spontaneous desire to please them. • Beginning at two years, it is a good idea to take a toddler to some place where other children play two or three times a week. Toddlers get acquainted with other children in their own way and at their own rate. Don't push them, but quietly en­ courage them to respond to any overtures made. Don't be overprotective, either! Toddlers must learn some give and take, and that includes holding on to a to* when another child snatche? it. A little roughness and noise are not fatal. Toddlers should have the , chance to learn to stand up for their rights! These early play experiences help children learn to play side by side or in company with other children, and In our FISH column last month, we mentioned several items for which there was, a great need. gratifying to know that all requests were filled by you readers. We also spoke of the need for more volunteers. Two families who had asked for help in the past, offered their help now. This pleases all of us so much, for it speaks of happy en­ dings. Also, FISH volunteers, and our generous community, can feel they do accomplish our goal of helping our neighbors, and that it is appreciated. We were able to supply a family with a crib and play-pen. And a thoughtful woman donated a fan to be used where it was most needed this stifling summer. We have a request now for twin beds or bunk beds for a family with very small bedroom space. Sheila Grandt, in charge of our pantry, seems never to stop working for FISH. During the last three wetks of July, she gave out 63 bags of food to 21 families, ranging from one to seven bags, depending on the size of the" family. She spent many hours shopping for items no longer on our shelves. Several of our local families did not receive their food stamps which are now mailed direct. There is much time-consuming red tape involved before the situation is corrected, and the need for food becomes desperate. "As you can imagine, we always need food. Do you have excess fruit or vegetables in your garden? The pantry could use any you might wish to donate. We cannot afford to buy fresh produce - we supply basic staples. The FISH phone is 385-0258. AFW to share and exchange toys. At this age, communication is largely wor­ dless. Most toddlers talk more to themselves than to others. This early play behavior is known as "parallel play". Only after a long period of parallel play to young children begin to engage in cooperative play, which requires more language skill than most tod­ dlers have at two years. - The Growing Child newsletter: follows a child's development month- by-month.
