SECTION 2 - PACiE 1 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1976 / 4-H Jr. Leaders' Goal: 'Save Our Church' CHIC AGO - "Save our church building" is the rallying cry this summer for more than 1 2,000 4-H junior leaders throughout the state of Indiana. A white frame church now on land adjacent to the Indiana 4-H Center near West Lafayette ha$ been donated to the Center provided it is moved by fall. Used by Hoosier junior leaders for the last 12 vears. the building will be a much-needed addition to the developing 4-H Center. So, with the approval of the Indiana 4-H Foundation, junior leaders have launched a drive to raise $12,000 to move the church. 4-H clubs throughout the state have been conducting fund-raising projects--bake sales, fish fries, car washes-to support the junior leaders' drive. With the added contributions of individuals, organizations, churches and businesses, $7,500 of the SI 2,000 goal had been raised by June 1 5. Said Dr. R. L. Kohls, Pur­ due University's dean of agri­ culture and a Foundation board member: "Not one teenage member of the state 4-H Junior Leader Council expressed a moment's reserva­ tion about the eventual suc­ cess of the mission. Their on­ ly concern was the best method of doing the job-not could the job be done." These Indiana 4-H'ers demonstrate the self-confi­ dence and enthusiasm typical of the' young people nation- Hoosier 4-H junior leaders are confident they can raise enough funds to move this 19th century rural church to the site of the Indiana 4-H Center. Used by junior leaders for 12 years, the church was donated to the Center on condition it be moved. The project typifies the enthusiasm of teens involved in 4-H leadership activities supervised by the Cooperative Extension Service. Reader's Digest encourages 4-H members through its sponsorship of awards in the national 4-H leadership program. through its sponsorship of awards in the national 4-H wide who assume leadership roles in 4-H. 4-H projects and activities supervised by the Cooperative Extension Service give boys and girls 9-19 opportunities to identify and understand the roles, attitudes, tasks and functions necessary for effective leadership. Junior and teen leaders play an important part in strengthening and expanding local 4-H clubs. They encourage other 4-H'ers to a s s u m e l e a d e r s h i p responsibilities. And, as they w o r k w i t h a d u l t s i n leadership positions, 4-H juniors and teens actively participate in program planning, development and implementation.

Q. A friend told me to stop worrying about cholesterol since my body manufactures it all the time. If this is true, why does it matter how much I eat? y~ A. We get cholesterol in many animal foods and, since our bodies can manufacture it, there is littjtf^danger of not having etjough. Generally, the botJys.^eg- ulates cholesterol well, if eat less, the body supplies the missing amounts. If went more, the body makes less. Extra cholesterol is destroyed and excreted. But the bodies of many people cannot cope with a lot of cholesterol-rich foods, par- rly if these are in an av­ erage ̂ American diet which is rich in saturated-fat. (For this reason, doctors often suggest restricting fatty meats, but­ ter, cheese and rich bak« goods, and recommend using polyunsaturated fats such as Mazola corn oil and mar­ garine.) When the cholesterol-regu­ lating mechanism is faulty, the level of cholesterol in the blood can go up. This often leads to deposits of choles­ terol in the artery walls, and increases the risk of heart attack. As a rule, reducing the intake of cholesterol tends to lower blood cholesterol levels. But each individual is dif­ ferent! A few people have a high blood cholesterol level even on a restricted diet. In otheis, the level is normal in spite of what they eat. Wo­ men of child-bearing age are likely to have lower choles­ terol levels than do men. But for most Americans, nutritionists and heart special­ ists suggest limiting choles­ terol intake to no more than 300 mg. per day. Remember this: nb food of vegetable origin contains cholesterol. It is not found in fruits or vegetables including potatoes, grains, cereals, nuts or peanut butter. Other low-cholesterol foods are margarines, salad and cooking oils, plain breads, gelatin, egg white, fruit ices and hard candy. , 'Some"^£pods high in choles- terol are also high in saturated fat: cheese, meat and milk. Some high-cholesterol foods have very little fat -- such as shrimp. Highest in cholesterol are the key organs qf the ani­ mal. Liver, for instance, is much higher in cholesterol than steak. Here is a list to help guide your eating: Over 200 mg. cholesterol: 3-1/2 oz. liver, sweetbreads or brains; 1 egg or 1 egg yolk. 50 to 100 mg.: 3-1/2 oz. lean beef, pork, ham, lamb, veal, poultry, fish or most shellfish; 1 oz. shrimp; 1 piece custard pie, cakes or pastries rich in egg yolk. 10 to 50 mg.: 2 tsp. but­ ter, 1 tbsp. light cream, 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream, 1 cup ice milk or yogurt, 2 slices crisp bacon, 1 frankfurter, 3/4 cup cream soup, 1 serving plain cake or fruit pie, 2 cookies, 1 muffin.

EDUCATION WEEK The key to the success of our educational system lies in the continued community support and community ideas," ac­ cording to State Superintendent of Education Joseph M. Cronin. In announcing American Education Week (November 14- 20) Dr. Cronin reminded Illinois residents of three public hearings on p r o p o s e d e d u c a t i o n a l legislation to be held this month to solicit citizen comments and suggestions on educational issues. The hearings were scheduled for Nov. 12 in Bloomington, Nov. 16 in Benton and Nov. 20 in Chicago. If one develops a sore throat, seems tired, depressed or dizzy after spraying for roaches in the houses, or dusting for fungi in the garden, there is a possibility the answer may be pesticide poisoning. The U.S. Environmental Protection agency, Region V, Chicago, asks the public to remember if they have been around any type of insecticide, herbicide or fungicide when reporting "strange" sickness symptoms to a doctor. <EPA has recently established a computerized pesticide poisoning reporting system to help health care workers and doctors. The computerized reporting system enables doctors and other health care workers to more easily identify cases of pesticide poisoning and come up with suitable antidotes. The computerized system will also give the affected person a chance to know if there are any reported long term effects from continuous exposure to the pesticide. Pesticide poisoning mimics a host of other symptoms, so it is important for the public to remember if they have been in contact with any type of pesticide- The more reports or data, EPA receives the more information it will be able to return to the public and health care workers. EPS computerizes the data after it receives it from the cooperating state health department. Doctors and health workers will be able to receive technical pesticide LICENSES REV OKED Eleven beauticians, two real estate brokers, three nurses, a barber and an apprentice pharmacist and pharmacy lost their licenses last month in disciplinary action by the Illinois Department of Registration and Education, The beauticians were among more than 100 found to have used a counterfeit diploma scheme to fraudulently obtain Illinois licenses. Tw6 of the nurses cited in the report were said to have used or distributed drugs illegally. The Depart­ ment of Registration and Education licenses and regulates the members of thirty-four professions in Illinois.
