Page 2 Rincón de A n d re a In the winter, when work is hard to find, and there is little money, w e all feel we cannot spend much money on food. Some of us are eating only beans and rice. This saves money, but it is bad for the health. Meat, dairy products and vegetables are necessary for a bal anced diet.

Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Flanagan, Thank You! How can we ever catch up with our thank-yous? We, the staff members of the Opportunity News, wish to thank Joe Tompkins for taking pictures of us, and putting us on television. It was a swift operation. We were in the midst of wrapping up an issue, and Joe told us just to go right ahead and be editors, not actors. When the program came through on Channel 8, it moved so neatly we didn't have time to be self- conscious. We were too busy hear ing about our newspaper operation, and watching it pass before our eyes. And another big thank-you to Mr. Flanagan of the Capital Journal. It was a nice article and a good photo. And that headline — "going great" — was right in key with our own feelings. When we get a write up like that, everything is great.
