SECTION 2 - PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1977 U v - » . Com mentis TOP ART FAIR WINNER - Ossie Rometo, McHenry Comity college Art instructor from Woodstock, was awarded best of show at Harrington Art fair; The local artists captured the $300 top prize with his ballpoint drawing entitled, "Breaking the Mold of Mankind". When the Judging was over, he was also given the best in drawing award which added $1M to his winnings. The awards were two of many made at the annual fair sponsored by the Barrington Women's club. In the words of Art fair chairwoman, Marilyn Haayen, "It was our biggest show ever with over 400 artists participating." / Ask Views On Food Packaging Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman has invited comment from the public in Illinois and elsewhere on proposals to set. new guidelines for sugar, iron and vitamin content in cereals provided to participants in the special supplemental food program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). In Illinois, 38,204 women and infants receive supplemental foods at 73 clinics throughout the State. Illinois currently receives a monthly grant of $944,639 from the USDA to operate the program, at a cost of approximately $24.90 per individual. In announcing final WIC program regulations, Ms. Foreman said the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants public comment on the sugar content of cereals approved for use in the WIC program. She said the department is concerned about sugar's possible role in development of tooth decay, obesity and other health problems. USDA is also con­ sidering new guidelines for iron and vitamin content in WIC cereals, she added. Assistant Secretary Foreman also asked for comment on a USDA proposal to make the WIC program available to infants and children who come from low-income families. At present, infants and children must be determined to be at nutritional risk based on medical tests or their dietary patterns. This has resulted in some low-income infants and children being declared ineligible for the program. In askins for comment on this issue, Ms. Foreman observed that some medical professionals feel low income by itself is an accurate in­ dicator of nutrition need. She invited comments and suggestions in a third area- how USDA can improve the delivery of WIC services to low- income persons in rural ar(eas. The department wants to do a better Job of serving the rural poor in an its food assistance efforts, she said. The WIC program is run by local health or welfare agencies through their neighborhood clinics or Of flees. The program provides special foods to pregnant and nursing women, to infants, and to children up to 5 years old. To be eligible, participants must be examined by a physician, nutritionist, nurse or other health or nutrition professional and found "at nutritional risk" because of poor diet and low income. The WIC program currently serves more than 886,000 women and children through over 600 local agencies. WIC recipients are given a food package tailored to their specific nutrition needs. Infants get iron-fortified formula and cereal, and fruit juice high in vitamin C, Women, and children over 1 year old, get fortified milk, cheese, eggs, cereal high in iron, and fruit or vegetable juice high in vitamin C. These monthly food sup­ plements are worth about $22 per recipient. USDA had proposed in February to set a nationwide income standard for all par­ ticipants in the WIC program. Comments from health professionals and state and local WIC administrators convinced the department to delete this provision from the regulations and to withhold establishment of a national income standard at this time. USDA plans to give further study to a nationwide income standard as it examines options for legislative proposals con­ cerning the WIC program. The department will present legislative recommendations to the Congress early next year. Instead of a national stan­ dard, today's final regulations adopt a localized income eligibility test previously required by interim WIC regulations. Applicants are eligible if they meet indome standards set by state or county health departments for free or reduced-priced health programs. Know ± S T M £ What is the connection be­ tween dew on the ground and the dewpoint. Does dew form on the ground when the dew- point is reached? > The dewpoint is that tem­ perature at which the air would condense or precipitate. It's that temperature, lower than the actual temperature of the air, at which the moisture in the air would become visible or precipitate. Thus there is no direct connection between dew on the ground and the dewpoint. As we have learned, dew on the ground forms when earthly objects cool the air to the dewpoint, but above the sur­ face of the air, where physical objects do not come into con­ tact with the warmer air, the temperature must reach the dewpoint to cause visible moisture or precipitation. We can nave dew on the ground, then, when the dew- point is many degrees below the actual temperature of the air.

Soybeans ^ If it is any consolation to farmers who held 1976-crop soybeans until prices declined rapidly in June, July, and August, a lot of farmers^ in Brazil made the same mistake. They are carrying an unusually large share of their 1976 crop into the start of the 1977 U.S. marketing year. They had their chance at 'high prices, and many of them missed it.
