(AP) — Researchers are «busy gvinding up sunflower seeds and sampling the resulting paste as they search for a substitute for that staple of the brown-bag lunch, the peanut butter sandwich.

Sun- flower butter “would be cheaper than peanut butter. right now if produced com- merically,” said Fred Love, operations manager for Sigco A key question for pea- nut butter addicts will be whether sunflower butter goes well with jelly, added Falk, THEY LOVE IT . Love has been feeding various combinations of sweetened or unsweetened sunflower butter to his chil- dren. “They- love it,” said Love. “They really do.” Several food companies, spurred by the peanut shor- tage, have shown an interest. in sunflower butter, said Inc. of B: ridge, Minn, “It tastes a lot like pea- nut butter, but has a little bit more of the roasted sun- flower meat flavor to it,” Love said Friday. "It’s a little lighter-tasting than the aver- age peanut butter.” The butter, made from finely ground sunflower seeds, looks like peanut but- ter.

Series By JOE DARY THE GANADIAN PRESS Politically Canada often , appears to be a loosely joined group of regions each pur- suing its own interests. Aseries of picture books from Oxford University Press emphasizes the re- gional nature of the country while at the same time showing geographic and scenic similarities. So far the series called Regional Portraits of Canada has produced 19 books, with eight more planned for next year and two others in the preliminary stages. Oxford spokesman Mel- anie Busby says new subjects are constantly being gsug- gested and the books, which range in price from $10 to $17, sell best in the areas they are about. Old Kingston Road, the Yellowhead Route and Sas- - katchewan are being re- leased this fall while St. John River Valley, Vancouver Is- land, Halifax and Niagara are planned for next spring.
