\ J Junk Foods Of Little Value Junk food is a term commonly used to mean a product of minimal nutritional value in proportion to its caloric contribution; i.e., products that are high in sugar and-or fat and-or salt with little or no essential vitamins, minerals or protein. Jt|pk foods can lead to a junk diet. Appropriately named, the junk diet unlike a balanced diet, refers to the consumption of junk foods to the exclusion of other more nutritious foods. Hie health costs of junk diets are staggering. Malnutrition, obesity and tooth decay are promoted by junk diets. In other chronic diseases such as • ar­ teriosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and hypertension poor diet may also be a risk factor. The promotion of nutritionally sound eating habits for people of all ages is the primary goal of the Illinois State Council on Nutrition. Efforts will be directed toward encouraging state government, schools and industry to emphasize the comsumption of nutiritious diets. Education is consic be the best means of in­ forming the public about nutritional needs in the diet. The basic- sources of nutritional knowledge are in order of importarifee: home, school and the government. Sometimes the first op­ portunity many young children have for ex­ periencing new ideas and on of ideMto foods outside the home is preschool. For this reason, the State Council on Nutrition strongly recom­ mends that licensed day care teachers possess suf­ ficient training to plan for and present nutritious meals and snacks so that children will be introduced to foods necessary for growth, development and health! According to the council, schools should serve as models to students in their selection of nutritious foods. This position is supported by r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s t h a t schools not substitute minimal foods for milk in school lunches, and that they minimize the availability of junk foods on school premises.

Bare Facts One reason romance lasted longer in the old days was that a wife looked about the same after she washed her face. -Jax Air News, Fla. Secretary of State Jim Edgar has given the recently a d j o u r n e d G e n e r a l Assembly high marks for paieage of legislation aimed at Improving highway safety in Illinois. "The recently concluded session had the best traffic safety record of any in recent memory. The members of the General Assembly are to be com­ mended for the strong concern they have shown for Illinois motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. "By far the single moat important achievement was the passage of a tough drunk driving law that will take more drunk drivers off the road and should reduce the staggering toll of 1,000 fatalities and 95,000 injuries they cause in Illinois each year," Edgar said. Edgar also cited several other traffic safety ac­ complishments including: - a bill (SB 401) that requires semi-annual mechanical inspections of ambulances and other e m e r g e n c y m e d i c a l vehicles, which was proposed by his office. It passed both Houses unop­ posed and is currently awaiting the governor's signature; - legislation (HB 293) that raises the first time fee for a driver's permit to generate additional revenue for the Driver Education fund. It also is on the governor's desk; -- a proposal by Edgar to have the Illinois Motor Vehicle Laws commission study the effect of the minimum driving age on traffic safety in Illinois; - defeat of several at­ tempts to raise the 55 mph speed limit, which has been credited recently by the Illinois state police for saving 123 lives each year in Illinois; -- the General Assembly's defeat of efforts to abolish driver education programs in Illinois schools. "Right now, five people die in Blinds each day and more than 400 are injured in traffic accidents. With the legislation passed this session, we can reduce those mind-boggling tolls and make our roads and high­ ways much safer," Edgar said.

JULY 15,1981 BUDDY'S WORKSHOP How To Figure Lumber Needs How do you estlaate board feet of lumber? I ptea to replace the flooring of an apctairi porch aad would like to kaow bow aNcfc hunter I will need. Board feet is actually figured by multiplying the thickness (in indies) by the width (in inches) by the length in feet and then dividing the total by twelve. Lumber is sold by the board foot, but in multiples of 2 feet. For example, boards may be cut in 6, 8,10 and up to 20 foot lengths. I have twice replaced the washer la a bathroom faucet, bat it continues to leak. Everything appears to be la order, ao visible aicks or scratches. What is the problem? The most likely problem is that cbrrosion has formed on the valve seat and will not let the valve and seat close together tightly. You can get a reamer at your local hardware store or plumbing supply shop. It's inexpensive and simple to use. If corrosion is the problem, the reamer is the answer. What is the difference between a cold chisel aad a carving chisel? The cold chisel is used for cutting metal and should not be used for tasks which require a carving chisel, designed for fine, exacting work in wood.
