Fourth and fifth graders across the nation will learn the benefits of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables in the Lunch Box Derby - a program challenging students to design, build and race model cars made completely out of fresh fruits and vegetables. The program, sponsored by the Washington Apple Commission, is intended to give kids a dietary tune-u- p by teaching them the sizes, shapes, textures, tastes and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables. "The derby promotes good nutrition, emphasizes teamwork and encourages children to be imaginative," said commissioit spokesman Jim Thomas. "The object of the exercise is to design a car which goes die farthest, not the fastest. "It's important kids understand what makes a car body also makes a kid body. The derby reminds students in a creative way that eating fruits and vegetables will help their bodies go die distance." Thomas said the commission is looking for classrooms willing to take the challenge, and the rules are fairly simple. Students divide into groups of four and make an inventory of available parts - fruits and vegetables of every variety. Each team designs their vehicle on paper, with the teacher slicing the food to make the necessary parts. The cars can be assembled using only three bamboo skewers four toothpicks and a rubber band to hold it together Teams then place their cars at the top of an eight-foramp and let them coast The vehicle traveling the greatest distance takes the ce It sE Doesrililti Pit I fore rcao BHsffiJ that your company's business cards, envelopes, stationary brochures & other printed materials pnnr Arens outside the Wasatch front are changing their area code from the familiar.
