Scientists have about decided that more than 200 milligrams per cent cholesterol in the blood is unde-- , sirable. A higher percentage may be a cause of heart disease, many believe. The human body creates cholesterol. Added to that amount is dietary cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol comes from the foods we eat. Some foods create much more cf it than others. To help the housewife who wants to know 'the total amount of cholesterol in the food she is buying, the Food and Drug Administration has new rules for labeling cholesterol content. The regulation will require the statement of cholesterol content of the food, expressed in number of milligrams per serving and in milligrams per 100 grams of threat food. , Dr. George Christakis, director of the nutrition division at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine In New York City, advises the layman that establishing a good workable diet program to maintain a lower cholesterol is easy. "Don't think of cholesterol intake in terms of only one day. Think of the 14 major meals (luncheon and dinner) during one reek. Then planning a week's menu with cholesterol allowance can be far less difficult. I know you will enjoy this change in your diet plan after you get u?ed to it. Remember, despite all the scientific jargon about food, eating should be fun," Dr. Christakis says. Of the 14 major meals a week, he suggests that four or five contain fish or seafood, four or five veal, chicken, iurkey or duck and the remaining four or five be based on oeef, lamb or pork. Keep servings of beef, lamb ounces or less. I think it would be wiser to limit high cholesterol foods to once a week, They would include liver, lobster, shrimp and organ meats, such as heart and kidneys and 4 eggs or less." Most foods contain more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol. Which explains why a once a week serving of them is enougn. "The breakdown into fish and seafood, poultry, and beef, lamb and pork introduces different kinds of fat to your diet. Also eggs four a week is enough because of high cholesterol and fat content of the yolks. Once you get used to fish you'll be surprised how easy it is to enjoy. It is. of course, very high in polyunsaturated fats and low in cholesterol." -"Balancing the three types of fat in this method will materially reduce cholesterol in the body. There are other things you can do. Substitute skim milk for whole milk, which contains high fat. Sub- stitute margarine made with polyunsaturated fats for butter which has high fat content. Most people like cheese. So substitute two ounces of cheese for two ounces of ham, for example. And use vegetable oils such as corn and safflower. Incidentally, the modern sherbets are delicious and contain far less fat than ice cream." Dr. Christakis warns us that heart disease is a threat to young men and women, or pork shortcomings. "I think they should remember that youths are shaped into decent adults by the adults around them; adults now expect us to grow up right with no one to show us how..." "Adults are always and will narrow-minde- d always be humans who think that we don't know what we are talking about because we are only 15 or 16 or 17," said another girl. "But I know a lot of IS or 1G or 17 year olds who have more common sense than some 35 or 36 or 37 year olds." Said another, "some (parents are) not concerned enough, some concerned too much; too many parents are prejudiced against children of another race." The teens accused adults of not 4 "For example, too. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) If you must use credit, arrange for monthly payments which suit your budget.

They might learn that there is little or no correlation between academic achievement and success in the world. Christopher Jencks, associate professor of education at Harvard wrote recently: "Since there is no evidence that professional educators know appreciably more than parents about what is good for children, it seems reasonable to let parents decide what kind of education their children have while they are young and to let the children decide as they get older."
