(AP Wirephoto) Sweet Potatoes Supply Sugar, Vitamins Sweet potatoes, served in a variety of ways, can be a boon to your food dollar and nutrition needs. As the holidays draw near and your sugar supply shrinks, sugar content of sweet potatoes can he used as a partial replacement of sugar in menus. Baked or boiled in their jackets, sweet potatoes are ready to serve, or are easily peeled and prepared for many uses. Cooking in the jacket best preserves the iron and Vitamin content of sweet potatoes.

A medium-sized sweet potato provides up to two days worth of Vitamin A. The deeper the orange ol the flesh, the greater the pro-Vitamin A content. Sweet potalocs are in peak supply now from a seven per cent larger national crop. New Mexico growers in Roosevelt County arc harvesting about the same amount of. tubers as in 1973.

Hail hit the area in the summer, causing extensive damage sonic fields. Quality and flavor of the sweet potalocs are good this season. The sugar content is very high. Most sweet potatoes now available in retail markets have been through the curing pro- cess. Being of tropical origin, sweet potatoes chill easily and require storage of 60 degrees.

Before this, however, they must be held at warm temperatures for curing, a chance to.seal over any skins or breaks. Four to seven days at 80 degrees is a typical- curing time and temperature. Select sweet potatoes that are clean, bright, well-shaped and firm. Some varieties have moist flesh when cooked. Others are dry and mealy.

Commonly, the moist ones are labeled yams. By either name, they are about equally sweet. When storing sweet potatoes, remember the requirement for a warm, moist storage with good circulation. Purchases to be used within two weeks is recommended when tubers are to be held in average kitchen stor- ngc. Dressing in leotards and using a belt massager or playing touch football on Saturday morning, may be your idea of exercise.

But Ihese lypes of exercises won't really help you lose weight and become more physically fit. Making an occasional, heroic sacrifice starving yourself for a day or Iwo or exercising once a week until 3'ou are exhausted won't make a successful dieter out of you, says Dorothea Hiemann. Extension state home economics program leader for New Mexico State Universily. "To lose weight you need to eat fewer calories and or expend more energy," Miss Riemann says. "And the besl way lo do Ihis is to eat less and exercise more every day in lots of litlle ways." To begin a sane and safe exercise program, first think about your day.

Did you drive to and from work, parking less than a block from your office? Then did you take an elevator upstairs rather than the steps? Did you sit and walch TV lo- nighl rather than expend energy? "Of course, you hav a right to feel tired after working all day, bul part of this exhaustion may be mental-exhaustion. Your job may nol require you to burn up many calories," Miss Riemann points oul, adding lhat this lack of physical activity may he a major reason for a weight problem. She suggests several ways you can burn up more calories Year-Round Santa Clauses Aid Children Santa Claus comes in many guises he could even be you. There are, in fact, nearly 30,000 Americans who are year round Sanla Clauses, keeping alive Ihe spirit of loving and giving throughout all 12 months. These "Santas" are sponsors of disadvantaged children through Save the Children (ASCF) worldwide child help organization with headquarters in Norwalk, Conn.

The Christmas season is becoming increasingly popular as a time to initiate sponsorships. Many people give relatives or friends a sponsorship in lieu of tradilional gifts, or make con- Iribulion to SCF in Ihe name of the recipient. More and more business firms and employe groups, too, are taking this way of saying "Merry Christmas" to clients associates. every day even if you have a sedentary desk job. Park your car a few blocks away from work or get off the bus two stops early.

Walk the rest of the way. Walk up and down stairs. Avoid elevators and escalators. Walk whenever you get the chance. For example, walk to your mailbox yourself; don't send your children.

Think twice before you buy a labor saving device. Mowing Ihe lawn wilh a riding mower may be easier, but it robs you of a chance to burn up more calories. Develop an exercise schedule that fits your life style. A 20 minute evening walk around the 'neighborhood might be an adequate exercise schedule for you. "You won't burn up huge amounts of calories by increasing your activity in these ways," Miss Riemann notes.

"After all, it takes 36 hours of walking lo work off a pound of fat." but exercise does add up. a 20 minute walk every day for five years would take off 20 pounds. And that's more calories than you'll burn up by playing touch foolball for a couple of hours a month or exercising with a belt massager for one hour a week. In addition, you shouldn't fear that a moderate increase in exercise will increase your appetite. Traditional Turkey Becoming Popular Everyday Product Most families will soon be silting down to enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving turkey.

For many ot Ihesepeople, this will not be the first time this year they've eaten turkey. They've been eating raw processed turkey meat in the form of deboned ground meal, slices, cubes breasls and. thighs. Some of the uses of boneless ground lurkey include lurkey loaf and tukey curry. Uses for boneless turkey breasls and thighs include scallopini, ragout, stroganoff, lasagna, as well as cubed lurkey baked in sour cream, and sweet and sour lur- key.

Raw lurkey cooked in a short time has a rather bland falvor making it ideal for uses that are usually reserved for other meats such as veal. The more familiav turkey flavor associated with roast turkey develops from a long, slow bake and therefore is not present in the new products. Demand for processed turkey meat is increaing most likely becuase consumers are finally realizing what a tremndous economic bargain turkey is compared to beef, pork and veal. When comparing costs of ground meats, we find thai lean beef is currently around $1.49, pork is and veal is However, ground turkey sells for less that 80 cents per pound. When figures on the cost per pound of protein, turkey again is the biggest bargain.

Turkey also is popular because of its low fat less than Iwo per cent for raw light meat nd around 7 per cent for dark meat. This compares very favorably wilh lean ground chuck. Work on turkey products began some years ago wilh Alvin A. Klose's research at ARS' Western Regional Research Center, Berkeley, Calif. Klose perfected a nutritious turkey steak, but il failed lo al- tract consumer interest at that time.

Now consumers are buying the steak as well as raw chunks and ground turkey. In conducting tests on the raw turkey products, Dr. Helen H. Palmer, ARS food technologist al Ihe Center, found that juiciness of the meat depends on the cooking time. As expected, lur- key cooked Ihe shortest time is the juiciesl.

Ground boneless turkey Ihighs are less red lhan ground beef bul redder than ground veal or pork. Since consumers usually prefer a darker meat, the white meal is not ground in wilh the red but rather sold separately. To make these products, lur- keys are processed and deboned by processing line Workers. Meat is delivered to the supermarkets either fresh or frozen in five, 10 or 40 pound packages. The five and 10 pound packages are polyethylene tubes about five inches in diameter.

The 40 pound package is box shaped. All packages are compressed before sealing to exclude air and thus eliminate a rancidily problem. Freezing is necessary-to balance supply and demand. Dr. Palmer tested the keeping qual- ily of frozen ground lurkey.

Ground meal is Ihe hardest lo store because it often has a higher bacleria counl than whole met. Tests thus far show lhal by using good processing and storage techniques ground turkey meat can be safely stored for at least six months wilhout spoilage. AREA HAPPENINGS Reformed Church Revival.
