Working Mothers Are
"Real" Mothers Too
TOE RIO GRANDE HERALD THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER J7.1979 PAGE 2
" "Working mothers" ai°
"real mothers," too, says a
family life education
specialist, Diane Welch.
Families often benefit from
a mother's outside em-
ployment, she says.
Mrs. Welch is with the
Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, The Texas
A&M University System.
According to recent
studies, a "working mother"
provides her family with
several major benefits
directly related to her
outside employment.
In addition to material
benefits, families in many
cases become close as they
ihare responsibilities.
Also, family members'
abilities to thin., through and
make independent decisions
often increase.
Researchers found other
facts that seem to dispel
"myths" about "working
mothers." Here are a few:
the divorce rate is no higher
among "working-mother"
families than in other
families; when women are
working by choice, both
spouses report significantly
fewer marital tensions-and
greater levels of marital
satisfaction; amounts of
"quality time" or "attentive
time" spent with children is
about the same for "working
mothers" as it is for full-
time-homemaker mothers;
and no constant differences
appear in children of
"working-mother" families
or other families-
concerning school grades,
peer relationships, social
adjustment, intellectual
achievement or delinquency.
However, there are
several factors which do
influence the ability of the
family unit or of individual
members to adjust and
adapt to outside employment
of the mother.
Among these are the at-
titudes of the mother and
other family members
regarding her outside em-
ployment, the quality of
child care during the
mother's absence,
management of household
responsibilities and the
character of time spent in a
family interaction.
In general, the studies
conclude that "real
mothers" are found at home
and in the work force, Mrs.
Welch says.
Their presence in either
place is not the key to their
effectiveness as a parent,
she adds.
Fourth In A series Of Six:
Vegetables The Answer For Dieters
For the dieter, a generous
use of many vegetables,
served either alone or in
other foods such as
casseroles, soups or salads,
contributes to sound health
and vitality, reports Yolanda
Scrivner, county extension
agent.
Whether you serve them
cooked or raw, wash all
vegetables even though they
in

look clean.
Most vegetables are very
low in calories except for the
starchy vegetables such as
potatoes and corn. However,
some vegetables such as
lettuce, parsley and radishes
have such a small amount of
calories that they can be
eaten any time by the dieter.
Following is a list of
vegetables and how many
calories they have per
serving. Asparagus, 2$
calories; Beets, 25 calories;
Braccoli, 25 calories; Cab-
bage, 25 calories; Carrots, 25
calories; Celery, 25 calories:
Cucumbers, 25 calories;
Eggplant, 25 calories;
Potato V2 cup mashed, 70
calories; Sweet Potato, '4
cup, 70 calories; Peas, l/z
cup, 70 calories; and Corn, 1/
3 cup, 70 calories.
Nicotine Found In Chew Too
Nicotine is the habit-
forming part of tobacco and
is in tobacco juice as well as
smoke. It is readily absorbed
through the lining of the
mouth of the chewer or
dipper and directly affects
the nervous system.
Nicotine first causes the
user to be stimulated or
excited and then causes him
to be depressed or let down.
To feel good a person with
the nicotine habit needs a
"booster" every 20 to 30
minutes while awake.
Nicotine also affects the
heart and the rest of the
circulation system. As
nicotine enters the blood-
stream, the arteries tighten
and become smaller, the
blood platelets clot, and the
heartbeat rate increases.
Since the heart is beating
faster, it is pumping more
blood through a narrower
opening. A rise in blood
pressure may result which
may increase your risk of
strokes and heart attacks.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED—Mr. arid Mrs. Ramiro Guerra of Escobares
announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Irma, to
Silviano Reynaldo Moreno, .Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Silviano R. Moreno of Roma. The
couple will be wed on September 29 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of
Escobares. The bride-elect and her fiance are both graduates of Roma High School.
In 1699, Peter the Great or
dered the Russian New Year be
reckoned from Jan 1 instead of
Sept. 1.

Now that school has
started, "Rev" up your
ingenuity for brown-bag
lunches- with nutrition,
safety and enjoyment in
mind, reports Yolanda
Scrivner, County Extension
Agent, with the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M
University System.
Enjoyment depends on
nutrition, safety and taste-
so basic guidelines and
imagination are all you
need.
BASIC GUIDELINES
N'UTRITION-A nutritious
lunch includes foods from
the basic-four groups. They
are milk, meat, fruit-
vegetable and bread-cereal.
Milk-group foods can be milk
or milk products. Meat-
group foods can be meat,
fish, poultry, eggs, beans or
nuts.
SAFETY-First be sure to
wash your hands before
preparing the foods, and use
clean tabletops, chopboards,
utensils and other equip-
ment. Then, make sure to
keep hot foods hot and cold
foods cold to insure safety.
Foods to keep cold include
milk, meat, fish, poultry and
eggs. Also, to retain "ap-
petite appeal," some fruits
an vegetables and other
foods should stay cold-such
as crunch-cold carrot or
celery sticks, along with
cheese cubes.
To keep foods cold, use a
freeze-gel packet or
margarine tub filled with
frozen water. These items
will keep foods cold even in
an ordinary brown bag.
Also, you can freeze some
foods-such as sandwiches-
and pack them frozen. By
lunchtime, they'll be thawed
and ready to eat, says
Yolanda.
BROWN-BAG IDEAS
Try this idea for a tasty
brown-bag lunch: a ham-
and-cheese sandwich with
lettuce, carrot strips, an
apple and an oatmeal cookie.
Keep the ham-and- cheese
sandwich cold for* safety,
and keep the lettuce and
carrots cold for crispness.
Here's another idea-this
one needs no refrigeration: a
peanut butter-and-jelly
sandwich, cheese straws,
an orange or a banana and
a slice of carrot cake.
Prevent
Food Spoilage
The rising popularity of
backyard cookouts, picnics
ana camping means more
opportunity for food
mishandling.
However, food spoilage
and foodborne illness should
not be problems if proper
handling techniques are

used, emphasizes Dr. James
H. Denton, a poultry
marketing specialist with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, Texas
A&M University System.
When preparing food,
provide plenty of clean
working space, use clean
utensils and containers,
wash your hands with soap
and hot water, and provide
adequate cleanup facilities
following preparation, he
suggests.
Adequately cook foods at
the proper temperature. If
possible, cook food im-
mediately before it will be
eaten. Avoid cross-
containination between
cooked and raw foods,
cautions Denton.
The specialist suggests
serving food as soon as
possible after preparation.
If this is impossible,
maintain chilled foods below
40 degrees F. and hot foods
above 140 degrees F. Never
hold food between these
temperatures for more than
two hours.
Place leftovers in separate
containers, cover imme-
diately and refrigerate,
Denton advises. If the
container used for uncooked
food is to be used for cooked
food storage, clean
thoroughly with soap and hot
water.
If there is a question about
safe handling practices, use
common sense, says the
specialist. Throw away food
if there is a question about
its safety.

What are friends for? Friends are for sharing
the happy moments of our lives, but we really
learn what friends are for when the times are not
so good. The old adage, 'A friend in need is a
friend indeed," really holds true, as we always
learn when the chips are down. Friends are for
cherishing. Not just for laughing together, but
sometimes for crying together. This reading from
the Lodge Record entitled "Who Is Brother?" also
tells who is a friend. "He who understands your
silence. He who will be a balance in the seasaw of
life. He who considers your needs before your
deservings. He who to himself is true and
therefore must be so to you. He who, when he
reaches the top of the ladder, does not forget you if
you are at the bottom. He who is the same today
when prosperity smiles upon you, and tomorrow
when adversity and sorrows come. He who
cheerfully comes in when all the world has gone
out; who weeps with you when the laughing is
away. He who guards your interests as his won,
neither flatters nor deceives, gives just praise to
your good deeds, and equally condemns your bad
acts. He who is the same to you in the society of the
wealthy and proud, as in the solitude of poverty;
whose cheerful smile sheds sunshine in every
company."
