Opponents also say such efforts are aimed at the basest instincts of Americans, and that English is hardly threatened by immigrants who generally want to learn English when they come here anyway State Rep. Francis Bardanouve of Montana said,“This is not an Ameri can bill It is contrary to what we think of as America.” ‘Eat your vegetables’ for health, experts say BOSTON (AP) — Claims for the health benefits of different vitamins elements, oils and other arcane nu trients pop up regularly. But often the advice boils down to the same idea: Eat your vegetables It is one of the few reasonably un- controversaal nuggets to emerge from a growing mishmash of stud ies, opinions and assumptions on the interplay of diet and wen-being On one thing food experts are vir tually unanimous Saturated fat is bad There is strong evidence it causes heart disease, and it may have something to do with cancer as well Saying which foods are good for you, however is much chancier Ex perts note that behind all the food fads, there is surpnsinglv little hard evidence that a particular item will increase your < >d<M of living longer ’’There aren’t anv magic foods.” Dr Johanna Dwyer of New England Medical Center said What makes sense, she said, is em phasi/mg plant foods in the diet They are high in potassium and other nutrients that may be benefi rial, and they don't have much salt or fat. Here are some of the theories that have popped up in recent years • Vitamins A and E and beta ca rotene prevent cancer They are commonly found in such green veg etables as broccoli and cabbage and such yellow ones as carrots One be lief is that they work by trapping chemical compounds that can harm the body’s cells • Potassium deters strokes and high blood pressure For stroke pre vention, at least, an extra serving or two of fruits or vegetables is said to be linked with a .SO percent redut- tmn in risk. • Polyunsaturated fat. monosatu- rated fat and omega 3 fatty acids prevent heart disease Many vegeta ble ods are high in polyunsaturated fat; olive oil u a good source of mo- nomtu rated fat. Fish od derived from salmon and other oily ocean fish contains omega-3 fatty acids. None of these theories has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, and the evidence for some is down right skimpv Vet all have their advo cates. So until scientists learn more about the preventive power of food, experts say the best advice is to avoid saturated fat and. by all means, eat those vegetables Governor causes stir in shake-ups PHOENIX. Ariz. (AP) — Gov Evan Met ham, who vowed to shake up the state’s bureaucracy, is shaking up legislators as well with some of his appointments, including an educa tion lobbyist who says teachers shouldn’t argue with students who think the world is flat The maverick Republican began his administration last month amid controversy by canceling a holiday honoring the Rev Martin Luther Kingjr As expected, he methodically is replacing many of the MX) ap pointed officials who served in the administration of long-time Demo cratic Gov Bruce Babbitt Some of his choices, however, have alarmed even the Republican- controlled state Senate, which has decided to hire a private company to invttsligatr some of the 300 nomi nees who serve subject to Senate consent Met ham. a conservative who cam paigned against his own party’s es tablishment as much as against the Democrats, has defended his choices for appointive office Longest married couple in U.S. without argument WEST KITTANNING. Pa (AP) — Almost 81 vears after they paid M) cents for a marriage licence and said “I do.” Calvin and Mina Dunmire are calmly accepting the fuss that comes with being named the nation's longest married couple ‘T’here’s no secret to it. We just lived happily together.” Dunmire, 105, explained at the couple's south western Pennsylvania home, glanc ing at his wife, silent in her rocking chair “Mrs just did the housework, and I did the outside work," he said Sat urday. “That was all there was to »C It wasn’t luck. We just loved each other." To the best of Dunmire's recollec tion. he and his wife, who will soon be 101, have never had an argument since their marriage on April 24, 1906, across the Allegheny River m kittanning “We just enjoy each other, that’s aH.” he said Until she suffered some strokes and he slowed down, she ran the household while he ran has lumber, natural gas and banking businesses Theirs is the kind of commitment Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a religion-oriented organization that sponsors marriage enrichment weekends, hoped to find in its third annual search for the nation's long est married couple Tom Gorman of San Diego, said, “Society needs to step back once a year and coBectively tip our hats to people who are husband and wife and who are going through better and worse and through thick and thin.” He and his wife Jeanne are this year’s national coordinators for World Marriage Day, the second Sunday of February. Couples are nominated by rela tives and friends as well as local Worldwide Marriage Encounter groups With 82 years and three months of marriage, last year’s winners. Oli ver and Cora Lee Glenn of Elmore, Ala., are still technically the nation s longest living married according to Worldwide Encounter. But the Gormans other organisers decided that rather than honor the couple again, k would be better to spreaul the glory. Mrs. Glenn, who turns 100 on Valentine’s Day, and her 10O-year- old husband still are reeling from the reaction so last year’s announce (For months, strangers showed the Merry Wood Lodge nurs- __ Mae. hoping so talk to the cou ple and pose for pictures. couple.
