Grapefruit and orange are good examples. In a d d itio n , v ita m in C is commonly added to other processed fruit juices including pineapple and cranberry. “ W hen s e le c tin g f r u it beverages, look for those la b e le d ‘j u i c e , ’” a d v ise s Carolyn Raab, Oregon State University Extension foods and nutrition specialist. By law, these must contain 100 percent natural fruit juice. Fruit “drinks,” on the other hand, are diluted. For example, a “nectar” can range from 33 to 50 percent juice. An “ade” contains at least 25 percent juice. “ Som e fru it-fla v o re d beverages contain as little as 10 percent juice,” Raab points out. These products are high in sugar and water. Although th ey a p p e a r to be less expensive, you’re getting less for your money. Juice can be made easily at home when summer fruits are plentiful.

Danger signals warn Get rid of those grass stains of increasing debt Family Lifelines— L ftJ U L ftJ p ry n n ri A dded in fla tio n and unforseen, costly emergencies to careless budget habits and financial difficulties are almost certain to result. “Losing control of debts is easy to do, but the situation is not hopeless if immediate steps are taken,” says Teresa Hogue, Jefferson County Extension agent. It’s important to pay attention to the first danger signals that unpaid bills are piling up, before the burden of repayment becomes too heavy to handle. People on the verge of sliding into serious debt need to sit down and make a realistic assessment of their financial situation, according to Teresa. This includes listing actual e a rn in g s a lo n g w ith all expenses. Debts which must be p a id im m e d ia te ly sh o u ld receive top priority. Before a payment is missed, an appointment should be made with creditors to work out a more realistic payment plan. Many times special Summer means grass stains o n c l o t h i n g , e s p e c ia lly children’s clothing. The best way to remove grass stains is to pretreat them before launder ing the clothing, recommends T e re sa H o g u e, Je ffe rso n County Extension agent. Grass stains may be removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid laundry detergent into the stain and then rinsing. If the stain remains visible, soak the stained area in an enzyme pre soak and cool water for at least 30 minutes. “If the stain continues to be visible, bleach with three percent hydrogen peroxide from your medicine chest,” arrangments can be made for either smaller payments or skipping a scheduled monthly payment. “Any agreements should be put in writing,” says Alice Mills M o r r o w ,- O r e g o n S ta te University Extension family economics specialist. “Such consultation with creditors will h e lp a v o id u n f r i e n d l y reminders and possible later damage to the consumer’s credit rating.” Professional financial advice may help consumers become a w a re o f th e ir v a r io u s alternatives to bring debts under control.

Launder using the hottest water safe for the fabric. “ Grass stains that have already been through the laundry process are more difficult to remove,” explains Ardis W. Koester, Oregon State University Extension textiles and clothing specialist. For grass stains that are set, y o u ’ll need patience and persistence. Start with a cloth dampened with drycleaning solvent. Rub the stain with the drycleaning solvent until as much of the stain as possible has been removed. Let the stained area dry and the drycleaning solvent evaporate. Next use a cloth dampened with fingernail polish remover to sponge away as much of the stain as possible. Rinse with a small amount of drycleaning solvent to evaporate. “If the stain still remains, apply several drops of white vinegar,” Koester says. Work the vinegar into the stain with a soft brush or the back of a spoon. Rinse with water and allow the stain to dry. The next chemical to try is rubbing alcohol. Work rubbing alcohol into the stain with an absorbent cloth or soft brush. If some stain remains, bleach with three percent hydrogen peroxide. Then launder the garments. dates back to 1900 up all over the country. T he first use of the term “4-H Club” was in 1918. The H ’s signified Head, H eart, Hands and Health. By 1924, the name 4-H had stuck and has been used ever since as the official name for the E xtension youth program. Today, 4-H clubs are more than just teaching kids about agriculture, although livSSTSck and ag ricu ltu re are still common 4-H projects. 4-H boys and and girls may choose from a wide variety of projects in animal science, horticulture, home economics, creative arts, natural science and mechanical science. The projects offered in a given community are only limited by whether there is an adult leader to teach the project. In 4-H boys and girls can “learn by doing” whether they live in the country or in the city. A 4-H club is composed of one or more adult leaders and a num ber of young people in te re ste d in le a rn in g a particular skill. Leaders help youth decide what the club will do, guide them in projects, help them learn skills and assist them in reaching their goals. Parents and other adult family members often help youth with their projects and activities. Young people have the opportunity to learn more than just project skills like how to sew a dress. 4-Hers have o p p o rtu n itie s to dev elo p leadership skills by serving as a club officer or helping to plan and carry out an activity. They may participate in presenta tions that help them gain more self-confidence in speaking before a group or preside at a club meeting. 4-H is fun, but it’s more than that. It is “learning by doing” and having fun at the same time.
