imp pp-pj--pg--yli"-pi"twrjp'"prpr-ni 'Econo -Eating' By MONINE STEBBINS OSU Extension Service The cracker barrel has re turned. Have you noticed all the bulk foods that are now available In most markets? I'd always been somewhat aware of these products start ing to appear, but when I decided it was time to take a look at them for the column, I was Just amazed. Each store I checked has some bins of bulk food. There was one store with more than 220 choices and another with 210. They've come a long way from the cracker barrel, though. They are lined with plastic and have a hard plastic lid. The barrel may sit on the floor, but there Is a false bottom that can be raised to keep the product high enough to reach into easily. Some stores have very sophisticated plastic bins with lids that are held up by magnets as you reach Into them. One of the things 1 was concerned about was the po tential for contamination. Tat Is a concern of the store and of the State Department of Agri culture. Ther are no specific rules and regulations that cov er bulk foods now. The State Department of Agriculture is using the gemeral rules of cleanliness and food safety for these areas. The Food and Drug Administration is in the process of developing guide lines for bulk foods. In the meantime, most mar kets are very aware of the need for safe handling of food. The State pepartment of Agri culture prohibits self service in hHnrdoim food Mxt of the food you see is dry. Grains and flours, dried beans, nuts, candy, spices, teas, coffees, and snacks. That's because dried foods offer few chances for foodborne illness. They can be contaminated by in sects and rodents, but as far as making you ill, there's not a big worry. Insects can be controlled by using tight containers, keep ing the areas clean and not storing foods for a long time. You need to do the same when you take these products home. Store them In containers such as coffee cans and hard plastic canisters that have tight fit ting lids. Plastic bags and cardboard boxes do not pro tect the food from insects. Now we are seeing a num ber of mixes cookie, cake, muffin and pancake mixes. There are even pie crust and pizza crust mixes. Some of these bulk food items even carry a national brand name. With these products all look ing very similar, it's import ant for the customer to label the product with the name for their own use as well as the number for the cash register. In some cases, it's also impor tant to take home recipes so you'll be able to use them. One thing they are consider ing in the regulations is whe ther the customer can bring in CLEARANCE SALE .

Now most bulk food places will weigh your container while It's empty, allow you to fill It and then have you pay for the product added. Most have plastic sacks available, though you must buy them in some cases. I guess the thing that gives me the most concern is the behavior of customers. Most stores provide scoops and tongs to handle foods. One store even had disposable gloves because there are some items that are very hard to get out using a utensil. In a study done In Philadelphia, half of the people getting a "natural snack" out of a bin that had a scoop, used their hands. There is a small danger of transmitting disease since hands may carry bacte ria which can cause illness. My personal bias is that foods that are eaten without any processing, are not ones I care to buy from bulk. If It can be washed, peeled, shelled or cooked it just seems better to me. The store tries to minimize this kind of contamination by having bulk foods where an employee can keep an eye on the customer. It may be in a special area that has its own clerk, near the checkstand or where a one way mirror al lows the office staff to observe customers. They also check and clean the area frequently.

Make It Yourself with Wool" adds new category to contest Recent information from state and national "Make It Yourself With Wool" contest officials announce a new cate gory for hand woven woolens, according to Ruth McCabe, District II Director. It is hoped the hand wovens will add a new dimension to the popular contest since the weaver does not necessarily have to be the person who constructs the garment. The weaver may be a pro fessional as a weaver, but whoever constructs the gar ment must be a non-profes sional in the field of sewing and must adhere to all rules of "Make It Yourself With Wool". The hand woven divi sion is divided into Junior, Senior, and Adult. All divisions of the wool contest will be judged October 20, 1984 at the District contest, Heppner. Other age divisions and rules for the contest remain the same as previous years. Entry forms for the contest are available at all Extension offices or from the district directors.

"Remind your children to never enter a stranger car or house. Never accept money or gifts from strangers. Never let a stranger touch them or join In play," said the Sheriff. Children should play togeth er, never alone or in a vacant building or alley. They should always go with a friend when going to a public place. Ask your children to always tell you of any unusual actions of any grown-up they encount er. Have them take notice of playmates they see getting into a stranger's car and get the license number of any car of a stranger who tries to bother them or their friends. "As parents, you should know the character of the adults who become friendly with your children," stated the Sheriff. Know the back ground of babysitters or any one who has charge of your children in your absence. Remember to report any incidents to law enforcement officials immediately. The most important thing for children to know is that there are certain people they can depend on - parents, law enforcement officers, and teachers. "The Sheriff's office is con cerned about the safety of all children," Sheriff Drago con cluded, "Lets make this a safe summer for everyone."
