Celebrate FHA-HERO Week "Know-How for the 80s" is the theme for National FHA- HERO week, celebrated by Future Homemakers of America as part of National Vocational Education week, Feb. 8-14. The purpose of the week is to show how vocational education and Future Homemakers of America, a part of home economics education, prepare students for the future. Over 12,000 chapters and 400,000 members nationwide will focus on the leadership skills they have developed through projects focusing on concerns for family life, community living and personal growth. FHA-HERO members, who are junior and senior high school students in home economics or home economics related classes. do not represent the out­ dated image of homemaking as cooking and sewing only. Members work on local and national projects related to child care services, clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition, family life e d u c a t i o n , h o m e management and career preparation. One such project is Future Homemakers of America's "Healthy Babies: Chance or Choice" nationwide peer education project. In its fifth year, FHA-HERO members have reached over three million other teens with the importnat message of making responsible decisions concerning teenage pregnancy. Future Homemakers of America is a0 national vocational student organization with two kinds of chapters, FHA and HERO. FHA chapters emphasize consumer education, homemaking, and family life education combined with exploration of jobs and careers. HERO (Home Economics Related Occupations) chapters emphasize preparation for jobs and careers. Celebrating its 35th an­ niversary during the 1980-81 school year, the organization has served 15 million students since it was organized in 1945. Young men and women between the ages of 13 and 18 help determine and run the national program. This year, four of the twelve nationally elected high school officers are young men.

Power Failure Tips A common problem for everyone today is operating within the budget And a most necessary and vital part of that budget is allocated for the purchase of food. That's why it is im­ portant to know what to do in case of a power failure in order to salvage most of the food in the freezer. Here are some things to remember when experiencing a power blackout. A freezer that is fully stocked, with food that is completely frozen, Will keep temperatures j at a satisfactory levelMor two days, provided Vtratjrthe appliance is not opened. A freezer that is half full will keep food only one day The freezer should be covered with a blanket or newspapers and not opened! Consider adding dry ice to a freezer which will be without power for an ex­ tended period of time. Twenty-five pounds of dry ice will hold the temperature below freezing in. a half full 10-cubic-foot freezer for two to three days. Place the dry ice on a layer of cardboard and put between the food. Do not place the ice directly on the food containers. Partially thawed food can usually be refrozen. If the food contains ice crystals, it can be safely refrozen. "Hie exception to this is fish. Fish tends to spoil very quickly and should not be refrozen. Completely thawed foods should be discarded or, if still good, used at once. Red meats and vegetables can be refrozen if cooked first. Use refrozen items as soon as possible. They will probably lose some of their taste and will not keep as long as foods which have not been refrozen. Food stored in a refrigerator freezer, or in the refrigerator itself, is even more difficult to save. Do not eat any foods that look or smell spoiled. Church Group Sets Luncheon The Christian Mothers society of St. Peter's church, Spring Grove, will sponsor its annual St. Patrick's luncheon and card party Wednesday, March 11, in the church hall. Serving will be between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. There will be table and special prizes for cards. Men are welcome, and tickets will be available at the door ..
