When Laurel Branen travels with her family of five, she packs a food cooler. Branen, an exten sion food and nutnkion special ist, also encourages weight con trol and moderation in eating among her three sons. She asks if they want to eat because they are actually hungry or because they just like the taste of food. Instructor Kathryn Ander son keeps things simple. She serves green beans, for instance, instead of green beans with mushroom soup or almonds and butter. Assistant Prof. Pat Espeland avoids drinks when eating out because “mixed drinks, wine and beer have a greater percen tage mark-up over the entree and menu fare.” These were among the tips Harriet Kohn collected recently from her colleagues at the Uni versity of Nebraska Department of Human Nutrition and Food Service Management. Others include: •Substitute a cheaper ingre dient — cabbage instead of bok choy, for example, in Chinese dishes. •Buy fruit at varying stages of ripeness to keep it from spoil ing before you can eat it. When you buy bananas, for instance, choose some ripe, some partially ripe and some green. •Read ingredient lists. If two brands of the same type food are equal in price, buy the one with the most expensive and nutri tious ingredients listed first. •Whenever possible, leave the skins on fruit and vegetables. •Pack afternoon snacks as well as your lunch. Carry instant coffee or tea bags and a vacuum bottle. •If you have a way of heating food at work, take leftover cas seroles and soups for lunch. •Keep the contents of lunch interesting and varied so you won’t be tempted to eat lunch out. Substitute leftover waffles, say, for bread for sandwiches. •Order a set meal when you eat out. If coffee, tea and milk are extra, drink water instead and have your beverage at home later. •Split an order of food with a companion. Many restaurants will do this — and you can do it yourself in self-service eateries.

FRENCH’S He gets tornadoes on birthday HAPPY DAY — child care center — nnc United Press International ■ TULIA — Paul Davis claims to have met Jack Dempsey and President Warren G. Harding, and he says he sipped tea in 1975 with then-Governor Ronald Reagan. But those are not the only memorable events in the Vile of the 73-year-old retired newsman. Davis, who has worked for newspapers in Amarillo, Fort Worth, Wellington, Wichita Falls, and Hollis, ORla,, has seen eight or 10 tornadoes and iro nically, on four separate occa sions, he saw the twisters on his birthday. Born May 15, 1909, Davis claims to have seen tornadoes on May 15, 1929, 1937, 1949 and 1957. * “I was coming out of Fort Smith, Ark., going to Henryetta, Okla., when I saw that one in 1929,” he said. On his birthday in 1937, Davis came within 100 yards of a tornado near Lutie, ,a “wide space in the road” between Wel lington and Shamrock in the Texas Panhandle. He said he was working as a road paver back then. On the same day in 1949, he witnessed a twister near Amar illo. .. y But it was May 15, 1957, that Davis was in Silverton for the, “granddaddy tornado of them all,” which killed 22 and injured 80. He said he was no more than 100 yards away f rom the twister. Davis, said he, has learned to respect the violent storms. After moving to Tulia two years ago, Davis said another tornado struck nearby. But this time, it was not on his birthday. Still, he said he sometimes wonders if “I’m safe to be around people.” Bring your child and visit our professional staff in our new Ultra Modem Facility!!
