Shovelers . . . filcCarty Says life Meed Workers Too tists, when they'd rather be filling orders in a department store than filling teeth. John Gardner summarized it all with a wise statement that he made about the situation. He said: "We must learn to honor excellence (indeed to demand it) in every socially accepted human activity, however humble the activity, and to scorn shoddiness, however exalted the activity. "An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philsopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shod-diness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its philosophy will hold water." Dr. Daryl J. McCarty The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education gives young people many reasons to pursue college degrees. The commission deter-mined from a study that college grads will reap such benefits as higher salaries, better fringes, more promotions, a greater chance for continued employment, and be less likely to wind up in "dead-end- " jobs. But there's much more to the story. It seems we tend to place too high a priority on what we consider "status" careers. Don't get me wrong. This contry needs superb doctors, imaginative architects and brilliant attorneys.. But we also need "doodlebugs," the people who get dirty shoveling mud all day with exploration crews looking for oil. And carpen-ters so skilled that the house they hammer together will stand many decades after they're in their graves. Maybe we like to think of that kind of work being done by "the other guy's kids"--no- t mine. A tragedy of this situation is that if society does not hold manual skills and crafts in high regard, some workers can lose the will to produce nothing but the best. Another tragedy: People who are pushed by their parents into becoming den- - . j - i ' - -- , i v V- - ' 4 J - " f: 't : ' T.v ' , J. , 1 ;r V: ' CDTA Child Development-Teache- r Aide graduation was held last week at the high school. rs graduated are front, Justin Welcker, Michael Zorn, Trenton Hall, Matthew Barnes, Jerem Pickett, Michael Bartley, Kelly Wilkinson.

By Doing ... Hon Do Children Learn to? How exciting to see the shy child grow to the point that he could auction off his own item and not have to pay someone else to do it. Growth in many areas was observed. Problems were met head on and solved individually or by the citizens through debriefing sessions guided by the teacher. Creativity was abundant, peer pressure kept citizens in line, assumption of businesslike roles or duties was almost professional. Have you ever asked your self how and when a child learns? It occurs when he becomes caught up in a project of his own. It happens through involvement,' says Mrs. Ramona Allen, third grade teacher of Central Elementary School in Pleasant Grove. Third graders this year learned how to run a society of their own from designing a flag and currency and naming their country to selecting their own type of government and owning their own businesses during "Mini Society." Among the business where the students purchased licen-ses, rented spaces, and bought raw materials were: a museum, art stores, a puppet theater, voice lessons, "Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe", a realtor, garbage collection, rock shop, band, and a very unique diary store. The students ideas were endless and if money wasn't made on the first attempt at business they began again. A natural act was to improve the product to attract more customers. Supply and demand problems were solved by the citizens through their own resources and creativity. Get Your . . .

We all like to eat. In fact, eating is one of life's great plea-sures. As a result, Americans think of "diet" as a bad word. But the local Heart Association points out, "Everyone is on a diet whether he likes it or not." For better or worse, we all maintain dietary patterns that affect our lives . . . simply by eating the same kind of foods everyday. Studies show that Americans eat too many foods high in saturated fats and cho-lesterol and that such a diet may lead to heart disease. In terms of heart-healt- our diet can be either a help or a hindrance. Medical experts have identified excess fat and cholesterol in the diet as a major risk factor of heart attack and stroke. Excess levels of cholesterol in the blood can contribute to atherosclerosis, a form of hard-ening of the arteries. In this disease, cholesterol and other fatty deposits gradually build up inside the walls of the arteries. Over the years, these substances continue to accu-mulate and the channels grow narrow, cutting down blood flow. In the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle, this process sets the stage for a heart attack, where heart cells die from lack of enough oxygen. But it may be possible to reduce one of the risks of heart disease through dietary con-trol. "As a matter of fact, you can liea gourmet and conscious of your heart-healt- at the same lime." commented one Heart volunteer. "The new edi-tion of The American Heart Association Cookbook is dedi-cated to the pleasures of eating well while eating right." The new edition has over 500 low-fa- t, reci-pes. The cookbook isn't a diet book, but is designed for per-sons who want to lose weight as well as those who wish to maintain their same weight. Each recipe lists an approxi-mate caloric value per serving. Besides helping your heart and your waistline, low-fa- t, cooking also benefits your pocketbook. Poultry and vegetable proteins are generally less expensive than meats. Rich, heavy desserts and whole milk products are in the same category as fatty meats, in the Heart Association's opinion. Fancy cakes and sun-daes are also high priced and low in nutritional value. Good substitutes for these foods include skim milk and its fresh fruit for des-sert and snacks, and fish, poultry and vegetable proteins in place of red meats. Also, no more than 3 egg yolks should be consumed in a week, since they are high in cholesterol. The local Heart Association offers free nutrition informa-tion as one of its many programs supported by Heart Fund contributions. All residents are urged to give generously when a Heart volunteer calls during Febru-ary American Heart Month. P.G.
