Note: Value has to do with the beliefs we have about the importance of people and things 8. we say that people are more important than «things, and this thing is more im. portant than that thing,

Morality has to do with the rightness or wrongness, the goodness or badness of conduct.

The B.C. Safety Council not only endorse this view, we are firmly: convinced by the life-preserving evidence about seat-belts that the time is now ripe in British Columbia for a mandatory seat-belt law.

Five years ago the Austral- inns led the way with such a Jaw. Then New Zealand, And since ‘that date, 10 European countries have followed suit. Moat recently, Ontario has adopted this legislation.

What convinced them?

Tt is the fact that People wearing their seat-belts have a 56 per cent better chance of surviving in a crash,

It:is also the fact that injuries are much less severe in a crash when seat-belts are worn. This applies particularly to injuries involving head, face, spine, chest and the upper and lower extremities,

These, when the driver or. Passengers are unrestrained, are very common. sources. of crippling and Permanent disa- bilities, being responsible for

Quite aside from the hun- dreds of lives it would save and the injuries reduced or avoided,

This frees hospital beds, cuts operating costs, and—also i

Among the big majority of drivers and passengers, we believe, this attitude is re- garded as selfish and danger- ous. They recognize that all of us who drive have a prime responsibility toward others who share the road,

Of course, there are the hold-outs who criticize the law as an infringement on their personal freedom, Their opin- ion, apparently, is that if they want to risk killing themselves, and maybe their Passengers too, they shouldbe allowed to ignore the seat-belts and “die in freedom.”

Question:

Ascorbic acid is sometimes used in food preservation, What is its value?

Answer:

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is commonly used in the freeze- packing of fruits and vegetables to prevent color and oxidative changes. It is especially ef- fective when used to Preserve the. color. of peaches. Most

cookbooks will indicate. how -

much to use for various fruits.

”- Pure ascorbic acid is available

at pharmacies. Question: é

Are more nutrients de- stroyed when using modern Pressure ‘cookers than when using the old, low-heat way of cooking? Do canning factories cook their products at exces. sively high temperatures? Answer:

Foods should be cooked in a tightly covered pan with a minimum amount of water and for just the length of time it takes to make them palatable. This will result’ in_ maximum retention of the nutrients na- turally. present in the food.

While pressure cooking is done at a higher temperature than when using a saucepan,

*,the cooking time is much

shorter; the'nutrient retention will usually be about the same in both ways of cooking. Many homemakers tend to overcook food and to use too much water, both of which result in nutri. tionally inferior Products,

. The methods used by the modern food-processing plants (canning, freezing, dehydrat- ing), are those which retain the maximum nutritional value of the food; in miany cases’ the commercially produced foods will be superior to similar foods Prepared at home.

estion:

What is the difference between deep-fat frying, pan- frying and panbroiling? Answer:

The term deep-at ‘frying designates the cooking of food ina deep, covering layer of fat, Panfrying refers to the cooking of food in a small amount of, fat, while panbroiling indicates the
