PAUL d • fL/ilAUbrtLbK • WbUnc.au/ti, ut luotn «, i»<» Grandma S e z . . . Ttiis granny, reflectin' on th' changes in our society, is ap­ palled at th* familiarity practiced t'day. Respect is shown, in th' way we address one another, an' when folks practice th' familiarity o' a- usin' first names t' total strangers, there's a certain amount o' th' healthy reserve a- lackin', that we used t' feel displayed a certain dignity an' r'spect f'r th' person ad­ dressed. Answerin' me telephone, t'other day, this ol' lady thought she was talkin' t' a well-known friend, by th' familiarity used on t'other end o' th' line. Me ire rose, an' th' r'ceiver fell wi' a bang. This granny don't often get her dander up, but too much o' that same thing made me cockles rise, an' afore I know it, th' reaction set in. "Familiarity breeds con­ tempt"... how those words bring back th' teachin's o' me father One loses a certain amount o' propritey in th' eyes o' th' world outside o' one's personal, close friends an' family, when anyone who comes along may feel that he is free to address one by th' given name. Social structure, as we knew it, we elders, has deteriorated t' th' point o' no return, so t' speak. One needs only t' take note o' th' lack o' r'spect shown " in th' homes, in th' schools, an' most ever'where. Looseness in commandin' certain measures o' r'spect, gradually breaks down th' culture. In th' home, younguns 're allowed t' be too free wi' parents who fail t' realize that babes must be. taught how t' develop into acceptable human bein's, they don't just grow that way. Wi' lack o' respect, on both sides, parent an' child, there hain't any chance t' develop it toward folks outside th' home. I c'n hear me own father sayin' "What ye do at home, ye'll do in public, so ye better put on good manners wi' those ye live wi', an' then ye won't have t' worry about how ye'll act, when ye're among others." No truer ad­ vice was e'er giv'n, seems t' me. When me ears take in talk about a-goin' back t' th' old methods o' rearin' th' young, it gives hope that we may correct a lot that's wrong wi' youngsters these days. Papa an' Mama re th' law, in th' home, an' ye better believe it.

Her Cabbage Supreme recipe won her a certificate and a King Pin, which is used in the preparation of large roasts, Football games and cooler nights will call for the ever popular pantcoats. Some of these light wool coats feature hoods while others have plaid linings and scarfs. Pop Addicts Suffer From Poor Nutrition "Pop aholics", soda-pop addicts, may suffer from poor nutrition, and American children are likely victims, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Extension home economist in McHenry county. Many American "Pepsi- generation" children cannot even imagine a time when no one drank soft drinks These children drink thousands of gallons of soda pop every day, more than any other children in the world Such over- consumption may be causing serious nutrition problems such as tooth decay and overweight, says Moore Soda pop is mostly car­ bonated water, flavoring and sugar, five teaspoons per eight ounces It offers only* quickly burned sugar energy. Moore says that children who consume food with low nutritive value often lack the nutrients they require for good health She cites U S. Department of Agriculture surveys showing that six out of ten girls do not get enough calcium, vitamin C and iron Four out of ten boys do not get enough calcium, vitamin C and thiamine Substituting soft drinks for real food can con tribute to these deficiencies. Children filling up on soft drinks probably do not eat well- balanced meals Moreover, cola contains caffeine The caffeine produces the "lift that lights up everything you do" A twelve ounce glass of cola contains about two-thirds the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Caffeine is a mildly stimulating drug and most children do not need this drug. Moore continues. It makes some children as well as adults nervous and irritable. Common sense tells us anything taken in excess is dangerous. Occasional use of soft drinks is neither harmful nor addictive Almost everyone drinks soda pop once in a while and need not feel guilty, says Moore. However, the nutritional problems that appear when some youngsters use it in large amounts is cause for concern Encourage c hildren to drink milk with meals and sometimes between meals, says Moore. Milk "gives you a lift that lasts". Milk and other dairy products are prime sources of calcium. Dairy products supply important amounts of protein and several vitamins Fruit juice makes a healthy snack or mealtime drink Many juices are good sources of vitamin A and vitamin C These two vitamins are often low in adolescent diets. Pineapple, orange and tomato juices are nutritious beverages Try diluting them half and half with water and serveover ice, suggests Moore Pants still hold the spot­ light, but some are pleated at the waist and pegged at the ankle. Others are narrow and cuffed. Pants for evening are straight, may be slit up the sides. Fruit juice supplies many nutrients while soda pop only provides calories. Fruit juice also often costs less than pop, glass for glass Take a close look at your children's total diet, and en­ courage your pre teens and teens to select "away from home" foods with nutrition in mind Milk or a shake ih a better choice with a hamburger than a cola drink In addition to Netting u good example yourself, you can help your children by planning their meals and snacks arou' ' the Basic Four food groups < I > milk and dairy food* < 2 > meal, fish, poultry, egg* and legumes; <3> fruit* and vegetables; <4> breads and cereals Selections from each group help insure a well- balanced meal If your children ar becoming "pop-aholics", good nutrition is the best preventive medicine, Moore concludes For more information con­ tact the Extension office All residents of McHenry county are urged to use their local Extension office at 224 Judd street, Woodstock.
