IS Spaghetti, macaroni, chicken and seafood topped the Sunday dinner menus for thousands of Americans on the opening day of a week-long meat boycott protesting high prices. Most meat markets were closed on Sunday, so it was hard to judge whether housewives were crossing beef, lamb and pork off their shopping lists.

President Nixon announced last Thursday night that a ceiling on the price of all beef, pork, and lamb was to go into effect today. But leaders of consumer groups said the boycott would be held anyway because the ceiling would not be effective. Although some New York restaurants reported patrons asking for more meatless dishes than usual, a spot check of restaurants in the Chicago area showed most restaurants doing a booming business. "Right now we've got a waiting line of 20 minutes, and I've seen a lot of steaks going by," said Frieda Marianos, service manager at a Chicago restaurant where the best steak costs $7.50. A random sampling of De Quid's Appetite Needs Improvement Dear Dr.

Thosteson: My little granddaughter has a very poor appetite. She has been taking multiple vitamins but shows no improvement. Her diet consists of milk, bread and jelly, ice cream, gelatin, cookies and cake. She doesn't like potatoes and meat and has to be coaxed or made to eat them. She will not eat vegetables and the only fruit she likes is soft applesauce.

She always seems to have a cold. She has boils and frequent kidney infections. It was so difficult to get her to eat that she ate canned baby food until she started school. Is this a stage some children go through? Mrs. G.

T. What a crummy diet for a growing child! Since she has reached school age already, I'd say that something had better be done in short order or shell have this distorted eating habit so firmly fixed it will follow her for the rest of her life. Along with generally feeble health. A certain percentage of young ones go through a phase of food-fussing. They like to attract some attention, like to be coaxed and, undoubtedly, want to test things out and see how far they can go in bossing the parents around.

With this little girl, the time for coaxing is long since past if, indeed, she ever should have had any coaxing at all. Best way is just to stop the bread and Jelly (the jelly, anyway) and the ice cream, and all the desserts. Without doubt she'll put up a dreadful squawk. Let her. But don't squawk back.

Don't fuss. Don't coax. Don't argue. Don't threaten. Just give her some decent meals and no desserts, and no more than a reasonable amount of bread and milk, so she can't fill up on them.

She needs some protein! She needs some vegetables! She needs some other fruits If she won't eat sensible meals, then she can be excused from the table. But nothing else to eat until the next meal. No ruckus. No threats. No arguments.

Just a quiet statement that that's it. I am sure she will cry, plead, look pitiful, say she's hungry. But make the rule stick. When she's hungryl she'll start to eat. SECOND CITATION For the second time in four months, Saufley Field Airman Jesse Harris was commended by his commanding officer.

Harris, a member of Sauf-ley's Fire and Rescue Division, was honored by Capt. Donald L. Whitman, station skipper, for finishing first in a class of 15 at a recent Aviation Crash Crewman class at NAS Mem phis, with a 92.90 average. He was also cited Nov. 22 as one of three men who extinguished a potentially major fire after a mid-air collision.

Capt. Whitman told the Atlanta, native that on the line and in the classroom, you have shown me that I have, in you, a sailorman of the finest calibre (Navy photo by PHI Harva Shiplett) Program Set For Teachers Dr. Henry S.

Three Pensacola fire trucks and 11 firemen battled a blaze for over six hours this morn- ihg that destroyed a two-story frame home under construe- -tion in plush Birnam Woods sub-division, Assistant Fire Chief George M. Wise said. At 12:46 a.m.

tower crews -at the Municipal Airport noti- fied the fire department con- cerning what they thought was a woods fire near the sub- division. Wise said three fire trucks -and several firemen rushed to the area and found that a home under construction at -2140 Banquois Trail was en- gulfed in flames. "The frame dwelling, owned -by Dr. James M. Carlisle III, was totally involved in flames when we arrived.

By the time firemen had the blaze under control the structure was de- stroyed," Wise said. He said the cause is still up-der investigation. Wise said -there was no electrical wiring attached to the frame dwell- ing and firemen are puzzled over the cause of the fire. 2 One fireman, identified as Capt. A.

E. Falzone, slipped while assisting in the fire fight and was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital for shoulder in- -juries, Wise said. He was not seriously hurt and later re- leased. Firemen remained on the scene until after 6 a.m. this -j morning pouring water on the fire scene, Wise said.

County Man Is Charged In Shooting A 22-year-old Cantonment man was being held in county jail today on a charge of shooting another man Sunday at Taylor's Bar in Canton- ment, Escambia County Sher- iff 'a Sgt. Don Powell said. Powell said deputies ar-. rested Archie McNeal of P.O. Box 223, Cantonment, follow- ing the shooting of Jesse Rob- inson, of 705 Washington St.

University Hospital officials today listed Robinson's condi- tion as fair. He was shot at least three times1 with a .22 -caliber pistol. Powell said Robinson and McNeal were at the bar about p.m. Sunday and had got- I ten into an argument. He said during the dispute a pistol was displayed and Robinson was shot three The .22 caliber bullets hit Robinson once in the right fin- ger, once in the left leg and once in the stomach.

He was taken to University Hospital where he underwent surgery for' his1 gunshot wounds. Temperatures 51 42 Kansas City ML. 46 40 46 44 65 54 44 4t. 3D 41 44. 44 37.

It's time for her to wake up with the help of some hard and fast rules about eating properly. She may even manage to stay hungry for a couple of days before she sees the light. It won't hurt her.

She'll eat when she needs to. If you give in to her, you'll merely reinforce a habit that she'll pay for the rest of her life. repair are tow-fold. First, the. Chinese say they cannot afford the manpower necessary to maintain the wall, one of the wonders of the world.

"Our first priority is to feed our 800 million people," one official here said. "We don't have the time or the workers to keep the wall repaired." A second, more elusive, reason for the lack of attention to the wall is the fact that the Chinese Communists today are of two minds about the works of art and engineering created by the imperial dynasties in pas centuries. While admiring the engineering feat that went into the troit area supermarkets showed customers in large numbers were avoiding meat counters. "We've been selling chicken, that's all," said Cheri Kill-ingsworth, a meat clerk at a Detroit food store. An assistant manager at another chain store agreed that it was "really bad." Joining the ranks of meat boycotters in Michigan was the Rainbow People's party, formerly known as the White Panther, party.

A party spokesman explained, "Meat prices are criminal, and we're in favor of all political action like this." Dolly Cole, wife of the president of General Motors, said her family wasn't boycotting meat. She added, "But I really don't think we have steak more than once every two weeks or so." Mrs. Cole said she cut up a leftover rump roast to make hash for Sunday dinner. She said, "We like hash." In Waterville, Maine, Pat Gorman served her family of nine a macaroni loaf made with cheese, macaroni, tuna fish, evaporated milk, onions, eggs and pimentoes. Mrs.

Gorman, who helped organize the Maine boycott, said, "My husband likes spicier foods, but the kids loved it." She said that she has received about 200 telephone calls from women throughout the state who wanted to organize a meatless protest in their areas. A housewife passing out meatless recipes at a Columbia, food store Saturday was upstaged by a group of 16 cattlemen who bought the store out of meat and then gave it away to surprised customers. "We wanted people to see what it would be like to go into a store and not be able to buy meat because it wasn't there," said Jim Marshall, a spokesman for the cattlemen. Mrs. Marilyn Johnson, the housewife, said shoppers were taking her recipes for salmon souffle, chopstick tuna, rosy cheese fondue and other meatless dishes until the ranchers started handing out free meat.

"I kept telling the customers that free meat is nice, but that it won't be free next week," she said. Spot checks of cities in Indiana and Iowa showed little organized efforts to boycott meat this week. Only one of 23 sororities and fraternities at DePauw University at Greencastle, is planning to join the meatless protest. Dear Dr. Thosteson: What is a "staghorn" in the kidneys? J.

K. It is a kidney stone so large that it fills the inside of the kidney and has projections conforming to the shape of the pelvis of the kidney. By WILLIAM TUOHY Naws-Journal Bennett Service PATALING, China The Great Wall of China, the most gigantic engineering project ever undertaken by man, is falling apart along most of its length. The magnificent defense ramparts are crumbling and breached in many places all along its great arc that stretches from the Pacific ocean to the gates of Central Asia. The damage to the great wall is caused by disuse, lack of maintenance, and the erosion due to the temperature extremes along most of its 3,500 mile length.

What the world normally sees of the Great Wall is a relatively short section of Pa-taling, the outoost of the Chu Yung Kuan Pass two hours drive northwest of Peking. This portion is kept properly maintained and looks as it did when the fortifications were in use under the Ming Dynasty. It is this section that President Nixon and his entourage visited and that is usually photographed. But if you walk to the highest guard tower on this stretch, you can see signs in Chinese warning the visitor that the rest of the wall is out of bounds. And with the naked eye or binoculars, you can see a dozen places where the splendid crenellated ramparts have crumbled almost as if they had been breached by the invaders from the north, against whom the wall was1 designed.

The reasons that the Great Wall, which took 700 million man-days of forced labor to build, has fallen into dis Fair Weather Continues Here Dear Dr. Thosteson: We have been told that taking mineral water that contains iron and calcium six times a day is good for leg cramps and what else is wrong. I sure would like to hear what you think of it. Mrs. E.

A. Lack of calcium is one of several causes of leg cramps, but whether the calcium in your mineral water is in a form that can be absorbed by your digestive tract is another question. Naturally when anybody offers a nostrum that is also "good for what else is wrong," I know it's hokum. Anyway, there are cheaper ways of getting calcium than drinking somebody's fancy water six times a day. design and construction of the Great Wall and the superb artistic efforts that created the art treasures in Peking's Forbidden City government officials prefer to concentrate on the accomplishments of the regime of Chairman Mao Tse-tung.

"We are more interested in what we have done since liberation in 1949," added the official. Built originally of stone and earth by Chou emperors 2,500 years ago, the Great Wall linked local defense fortifications. It was ultimately finished by the Ming emperors (AD 1368-1644) in cement and stone blocks, faced with bricks. and over most of California. In Alton, 111., the Mississippi swirled through downtown streets.

Spokesmen for the Army Corps of Engineers expressed fear Sunday night that levees, soaked to the core, might give way as waters rise on the Mississippi, Missouri and Meramec rivers. The cleanup from Saturday night's tornadoes was going on beside flood preparation today in portions of Georgia and South Carolina. The twisters, which struck before National Weather Service radar could spot them, inflicted severe property damage and claimed at least eight lives. Govs. John West of South Carolina and Jimmy Carter of Georgia surveyed the damage by air Sunday.

Both said they would seek federal disaster funds. In Georgia, an estimated 5,000 persons were left homeless by the storm. The Pee Dee River at Che-raw, S.C., was expected to reach a crest of 15 feet above bank level early today, and the Rocky River at Norwood, S.C., was 23 feet above flood stage Sunday.

At noon in Pensacola, skies were partly cloudy; temperature 74; dew point 50; relative humidity 56 per cent; wind from the south at 6 miles per hour; and sea level pressure 29.9 and falling. At 8 a.m. in Pensacola, skies were fair; temperature 67; dew point 49; relative humidity 53 per cent; wind from the east at 7 miles per hour; and sea level pressure 29.94 and rising. Flood conditions worsened today along the rain-swollen Mississippi River and in the South, where torrential rains accompanied by tornadoes battered portions of two states during the weekend.

was still piling up in the Southwest, and strong winds whipped sandstorms in southwestern areas not hit by the snow. Heavy snow warnings were posted for the mountains of southwest and central Colorado, central and western Arizona and New Mexico. More than a foot of new snow fell Sunday In Utah. Rain fell west of the Rockies and in southern Florida, Flash flood watches were Sosted for portions of southern lew England, where a weekend thunderstorm dumped up to 3V2 inches of rain. Fair weather prevailed from the mid-Atlantic coast west to the southern Plains News-Journal Bureau MILTON Due to a ruling by the Federal Communications Commission, Milton radio station WEBY left the air for the final time Friday evening, but programs normally carried on the station will be transferred to WXBM-FM, the station's owner reported.

"We are transfering those programs people have indicated they want," said Byrd Mapoles, owner of WXBM-FM and former manager of WEBY. Mapoles continued by saying future plans call for operating the AM station on a 24-hour basis. "I would like to thank all the people who have supported us in our efforts to keep WEBY on the air," Mapoles continued, "and I would invite them to tune to WXBM-FM where the basic format will reflect WEBY'S programming over the past years." WEBY, which was established In 1954 by Clayton Mapoles, was ordered off the air af ter the station owner lost an appeal to the FCC to remain in operation until such time a new license is granted for the station's frequency. Earlier, the station was denied an appeal for a license renewal because of a ruling stemming from an incident occuring several years ago when a candidate for political office claimed he was denied equal time to reply to an editorial in opposition to his candi-dancy. Following a public hearing in Pensacola, the presiding chairman recommended the renewal of the station's license but the FCC reversed the ruling.

Several applicants are expected to be placed on file with the FCC seeking a license to operate on the WEBY frequency, but only one has thus far reached the FCC in Washington. That request is from Jim Howell, a county commissioner and a well-known radio personality in Santa Rosa County. HID F-vf lav Tevf'fvrtH ur fa-pa! Unt4 T4niay.
