Some of our elected officials wonder why people lose failh
m our government al!d its leaders. It's really no mystery .
Lincoln's words should be changed to " . Government of the
people for Ute people, by the butducrats " ·
A prime example is forced busing. If one can believe the
polls, the vast maj ority, black and white, oppose it. U one can
belteve Ute polttlClans, a majority of Congress oppose 1tt. At
least two Presidents have been opposed to it. Yet, lhe practt ce
continues to gain momentwn, propelled by a few who proclaim
to know best .
Of course, contradiction, mdecision and out-right
skullduggery m government has become a large part of our
daily fare. While the yellow gas-guzzlers log m!lhons of extra
miles, the cittzenry Is ever reminded that repnsais may be tn
lhe offing for he who strays from strict energy conservatiOn.
While Ute mass of the people continue to call for capttal
punishment, court and Congress fiddle over the cruel and
unusual purushment issue and as to whom, if any, the death
penalty should apply
. For years, we'vbe been schooled m the phtlosophy !hat
hwnan nghts supercede all others. Yet, we 've been recenUy
informed that a bomb IS under development that will have a
potential of wiping out humaruty while preserving property.
As to property, it seems the best excuse advocates of the
CJnal Zone giveaway can muster ts that, if we don't present it
to Senor Torrujos, he may become very angry and thiS ought
necessitate the deployment of a certam number of troops to
protect it against sabotage. When did protecting your own
property go out of style ? Are we now obligated to protect only
the property of others, i.e., Germany, Korea, Israel?
It's hard to visualize anyone wanting to deprive our lovely
womenfolk of their just and equal rights. And if the ERA is
necessary to guarantee those rights, I say, go, gals, go!
· However, 1t does sound rather ludicrous to hear some of our
female gender calling for the privilege of marching into battle,
paymg alimony ·and standing in the cross-town bus.
As to total equality, such can never be. There's no way to
equate the sexes. If woman ts man's equal, why can't she

Some of the "old salts" have cried foul at blending boy and
girl sailors aboard naval vessels, contending that such close

Accordingly, Ocasek said the

Ocasek candidly coneedes !hat the
politics of an election year will
foreclose a permanent solution to

House Speaker Vernal G. Riffe

But even Riffe and Ocasek

"Jordan rejects, and will

"The results proved to be

Diet food confusion
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am
anot her confused reader
about cholesterol, fat , and
salt-free diets. My husband,
has had a bypass operation on
his heart and a bypass opera·
lion for a blocked artery to
one kidney. He still has a par·
tial obstructiOn in the artery
of the other kidney and has
high blood pressure.
I am trying to feed him a
low-fat low-cholesterol saltrestricted diet, but the labels
on !he dietary food confuse
me. They list sodiwn in
miltigrams. Is sodium . the
same thing as salt?
Labels may read " polyunsaturated fatty acid trace,
saturated two grams, total
fat four grams." I don't know
how to use these figures and if
it is a low-fat food.
I use Egg Beaters, Morning
Sta r cholesterol-free
breakfast stripa. All meat or
chicken, which are very
smaU servings, have all the
fJt trimmed from them. I boil
chicken and beef. let it stand
and remove all the fat before
making stews. That makes it
very tasteless so I add one or
two bouillon cubes. Can you
help me? '
DEAR READER - You
need help. Salt is sodium
chloride, and you will get
aixlut 1 gralil of sodium in two
and a half grams of sodiwn
ehloride salt, It follows that
100 milligrams of sodiwn i.s
equivalent to about 250
milligrams of sodium
chloride (ordinary table
salt). And those bouillon
t'llbes you are using to add
.taste to the meal are loaded
"1th sodiWll chloride. One
average OOuillon cube cont;oins 960 milligrams of
sodiwn. Try to learn to cook
with spices to add flavor, including curry powder, .garlic
if your husband likes it, and
ct~er spices. You · might be
surprised to learn what an apple or two added to a beef pot

roast will do for its flavor.
I really wish the food industry would list the food
va lues in calories rather than
grams. That would make it
easier for everyOne and
would make conversion from
ounces to grams a piece of
cake for shoppers, but lor
some reason they don ' t seem
to reahze this or don't want to
do1t.
As a basic rule, no more
than 35 percent of all calories
in your husband's diet should
come from the total fat. A
good way to estimate a par·
ticular food's fat content is to
add the grams of car. bobydrates and proteins.
That total should be four
times the weight or lhe total
fat in that food. In such a
food , only 32 percent or less of
the calories are from fat. This
i.s based on the point that a
gram of carbohydrate and
protein contains about four
calories while a gram of fat
contains nine ca lories.
It i.sn 't perfect, but if a third
or less of the fat in a food is
saturated fat (for example, 1
gram of saturated fat. 1 gram
·of monollllS8turated fat and 1
gram of polyunsaturated
fat ), and the total grams of
carbohydrate plus protein is
four times .as muc;!J. or more ,
than the grams of !at, that
food is a good choice. That
will r\lle out some ol those .
foods you are using which
contain no cholesterol but do
contain lots of fat.

. F~ bruary 25. futC&lt;'Qon hWlting closes on January 28 while coon,
mmk,, and muskrat trapping is legal until February 18. Beaver
trappmg opens on January 14 and closes on February 18.
. The last report I got on fur prices is as follows , but keep in
mmd that these prices vary with each dealer (but you can use
them as a guide for dickering) :
Muskrats were bringing around $4.50, raccoon were selling
lor $14·17.
Male minks were at $17, the females were bringing about
half that.
·
Opossum was going lor about $2.50for the large ones.
Red fox were finally going for $40-45 with the grays at $2530.
. Keep in mind that if you take good care or your lur before
taking them to the buyer, it will be more than worth your
effort.
Something that more and more trappers are doing in
recent years is selling their catch at fur sales. There has
already been one local sale this season at McCoMeisville, at
the Morgan County FairgroUJlds. There will be another Feb. 11
at the same place. starting at 9 a .m.
These sales are sponsored by the Southeastern Ohio Fur
Takers Assn . II you're not a member, you can still sell by
simply going and paying the $3 dues. Usually you can get a
better price at these sales if you have quality stuff. I 'II pass on
more info on the upcoming sale later.
One last item is the upcoming wildlife hearing for District
4 at Athens ln mid..January. I'll also give more info on this
later, but it 's usually about the third Sunday in the month. This
is the place to submit your ideas and desires about changes in
the laws for 1978.

POLLY'S POINTERS
Polly Cramer •

Ink on shower curtain
POLLY'S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY- I got hall·
point ink on my expensive
plastic shower curtain and
tried holding a sponge with
bleach on it for several
min utes and also tried hair
spray but with no luck. Hope
you can help me.
When wallpapering use a
slotted spoon to mix the paste
and there ·will be no lll!llps.
This paste can also be applied
with a paint roller for an
easier job.
Also, I use a grapefruit
knife when cutting out the in·
side of green peppers and to
remove see d s
from
watermelon. - MRS. F.L.P.
DEAR MRS. F.L.P. - I am
surprised that the hair spray
did not work. Did you lay the
curtain flat and apply the
spray, let dry and then wash
curtain as usual?- POLLY.
DEAR POLLY- Long ago I
· cleaned a cotton print dress
that had spilled ink all the
way down the front. I put the
dress in a large earthenware
mixing bowl, covered it witl i
bultennilk and let it stand
overnight . This removed
every spot of ink and did not
harm the print.- AMY. .
DEAR POLLY - Try

Is a Dress Code ucensorship"?
RAP:
I am a member of the student council in high school. This
year I was supposed to lead a conunittee for devising a dress
code.
But a new principal came in September and he and the hoard
of trustees have taken over. He has suspended a dozen girls lor
a week because of "improper dress." To him that means short
skirts • even three inches above the knee i shorts with boots;
halter tops and platform shoes.
Our conunittee feels the new code is much too strict. I think
that completely hare-back halters and too-light shorts should
be banned, but short skirts and midis with slits are coming
hack in fashion.
Would you ask your readers about dress codes at their
schools, and what they think about them? ·K. B.
DEARK.:
Consider them asked.
Personally I favor the "non-dress code" we had at my high
school in Sacramento : " Wear whatever you choose as long as
it isn't offensive and doesn't disrupt the classroom."
When principals get into measuring skirt lengths and how
much skin can be shown, they're asking for limit-testers and
student protest. ·SUE

hold pictures to the wall ·are
so efficient used on the under·
side of the end of a Judy's pa·
tent or other stiff belt. Stick in
place each time the belt IS
worn and alter it has been
buckled. This keeps the end
with the holes firmly in place
at the ·waist and eliminates
having to cut off any excess
length that might be needed if
one's waist expands a bit. BARBARA.
DEAR POLLY- After cut·
ling up raw chickens on my
cutting board I clean the
hoard by sprinkling table salt
on it and then scrubbing with
a plastic pot scrubber. I rinse
it with very hot water and dry
well. This eliminates worry
about germs from raw
chickens and also removes
stains from the board that
were left from carving: cooked roasts, etc. on it. - MRS.
C.C.
DEAR POLLY- Those who
do not care to eat the skin on
baked sweet or Irish potatoes
might like to know that alter
the potatoes are baked if they
are allowed to stay in the
oven awhile alter it has been
turned off the skins come off
with no difficulty. I find the
right length of time is just
about the same time as it
takes me to round up the
meat and vegetables. HELEN.
