Traveling With Children This Summer
W hen traveling with children this
sum m er do not forget to pack the m ost
im portant bag: the “ snack” bag.
“Traveling as a family can be a
lot o f fun. There are lots o f things to
do, and eating is one o f them ,” said
Dr. Corinne M ontandon, a nutrition­
ist at the U SD A ’s C hildren’s N utri­
tion Research C enter and an assistant
professor o f pediatrics at Baylor Col­
lege o f Medicine. “J ust make sure you
offer nutritious treats,” she added.
Mobile m unchers can wile away
the m iles crunching on fresh fruit,
nuts, popcorn, dry cereal, celery sticks.
and carrot sticks. (Nuts, whole grapes
or popcorn should not be given to tots
younger than 5 because they could
choke.)
String cheese, packaged fruit
snacks, a variety o f breads, spreads,
small boxes o f raisins, Graham crack­
ers, animal crackers, low-salt pret­
zels,and peanutbutter and jelly sand­
wiches also appease restless riders.
For heartier fare, have a picnic
lunch prepared and stop at a conve­
nient roadside park, M ontandon said.

ice pack allows travelers to pack a

Cellular One Introduces VoiceTouch
Cellular One of Oregon/S.W.
Washington today announced a revo­
lutionary service which allows its sub­
scribers to dial their phones with their
voice instead of their fingers. The ser­
vice, called “VoiceTouch,” is offered
exclusively by Cellular One and will
work with any digital /analog cellular
telephone because the hardware and
software which operates the system is
installed in Cellular O ne’s switch.
“This is truly the most usable,
robust and easily accessible voice rec­
ognition serv ice in telecommunications
today, and we’re proud to be the first to
be able to offer it to our customers,”
said Will McAllister, Cellular One’s
general managerforOregonandSouth-
west Washington. “It is convenient
and simple to use. And the great thing
about it is, you don’t have to buy any
equipment or upgrade your phone at
all to use this system. All you have to
be is a Cellular One customer.”
VoiceTouch subscribers can both
speak a number to dial it and program
up to 20 telephone numbers under key
words or names, or call the number by
speaking the word or name. Subscrib­
ers will access the service by hitting
the “#” key and then the “send” key. A
customer can then dial a number by
saying “dial” and then speak the num­
ber. Or a customer can say “call” and
then speak a pre-programmed name or
word. If the
system is un­
