DEDICATION
goes into every
prescription at

The desire to serve you
and your health needs is
the guiding principle for
every pharmacist as he
compounds prescriptions,
dispenses medication and
other health products
Do Christmas holidays conjure
up visions of sugar plums,
pumpkin pie, turkey, dressing,
eggnog, nuts, candy, cookies and
cake’
There's nothing wrong with
these visions—or foods—says
Carol A. Ashley, Columbia
County Extension Agent The
trouble comes when you eat the
special treats along with regular
meals These holiday foods can
add more calories than mo6t
adults need
Try the following hints for
sane holiday eating, suggests the
home economist
If you are the hostess, balance
those rich, festive hors d’
oeuvres and meals with low-cal
orie foods Serve fresh raw
vegetables and fruits with a
seasoned, b l e n d e d cottage
cheese dip for a welcome
change.
If you plan to serve gravy,
dressing, and a rich dessert,
then why not leave out the rolls
and serve at least one of your
vegetables nicely seasoned but
without a sauce. Serve the celery
sticks plain, without a cheese
filling
Serve only enough hors d’
oeuvres to whet the appetite, not
squelch it! Cut the dessert pie
in nine instead of eight pieces
People don’t really want to eat
two banquets in one evening, so
don’t tempt them and they’ll love
you for it.
If you’ve a quest remember
one of the easiest ways to insult
your hostess is to eat and drink
so much before dinner that you
lose interest in the food When
you’ve had enough, cover your
glass with a napkin to prevent
unwanted refills
Try these painless tricks for
fewer calories. You’ll enjoy your
holiday eating without that
guilty feeling, and your post-hol
iday figure will be your reward!

VITA Offers
Change Announced In
Tax Assistance PCC Representatives
With the passing of Christmas,
sugar plums and Santa Claus
and the coming of the new year,
ones thoughts do not linger on
the new year very long until one
is reminded that the Internal
Revenue Service is once again
requiring us to fill out the forms
that we all approach with dread.
In order to help with this
problem the IRS has instituted a
volunteer program called VITA
(Volunteers in Tax Assistance)
Their goal is to help people
complete their tax returns ac
curately and completely. They
will also help people who cannot
afford to pay to have someone
help them write their tax return
and also those who would not
request assistance from the IRS.
Training for volunteers is be
ing offered in the first part of
January for three consecutive
days in downtown Portland.
If interested in performing this
service for people in the com
munity call Retired Senior Vol
unteer Program collect at
543-2047 or write P.O. Box AG,
Scappoose, Ore 97056.
If over 60 years of age the cost
of transportation and meals can
be reimbursed under RSVP
For those interested in attend
ing PCC classes for the winter
term, a change in whom to
contact has been announced for
the Scappoose area
Those wishing to obtain regis
tration materials or information
mev contact the Scappoose High
School, 543-6387, or Phil Walrod,
543-2047 or 397-4000 (days), or

Registration materials for St.
Helens classes may be obtained

Oregon highway users are
consuming about one million
gallons less gasoline a month as
a result of the state's newly
imposed 55 mph highway speed
limits.
But the reduced fuel consump
tion is also resulting in about
$70,000 per month less income to
the State Highway Division,
creating a substantial budget
crunch in the Division's opera
tions.
The "good news-bad news”
findings are included in a report
on the effects of the new 55 mph
speed regulation released today
by Fred B Klaboe, administra
tor of the Highway Division and
state highway engineer
Division engineers measured
vehicle speeds at 13 sections of
Oregon highways which had
previously been governed by
speeds in excess of 60 mph
Klaboe said that vehicle speeds
have reduced substantially at all
the checkpoints For example,
the average speed on portions of
I-80N ana 1-5, formerly posted
for 70 mph, was reduced from
58.60 mph to 54.58 mph
Division statisticians matched
those speed reductions with
“Composite” vehicle fuel con
sumptions in arriving at the one
million gallons per month sav
ings in gasoline. The “compos
ite” car is a 4,000 pound passen
ger vehicle and averages, for
example, 18.8 miles per gallon at
55 mph and 14.2 miles per gallon
at 70 mph-a 4 6 miles per gallon
savings.
