Page B2 Waterloo Courier Wednesday, September 13. 1989 Point of view Look westward to see wltat's on its way is -1 1 1 Phyllis Singer Courier Features Ed tor After the Korean Conflict (it seemed like a war) there were thoughts around our house about moving to California. In fact, it seemed as if everyone we knew was headed that way. But we decided to stay here. And maybe that's just as well because I'm not sure I would fit in with the granola and sprouts crowd anyway.

However. I see where if you want to know what new foods will inch their way across the country in the future, you need to look westward. Wild and wacky food fads are nothing new to Californians. But actually that's not what the food people are talking about. -o i.

ii Vnti.i.Hi It was mentioned that Beneta was looking forward to going to Los Angeles to appear on a television show. A notice came to say she will appear on the new CBS series "The Third Degree" on Friday at 9 30 a.m. The description of the show goes something like this: It blends comedy, talk and reality into a simply easy to play-along game involving two teams of celebrities who try to guess the relationship between the guests." The celebrity teams consist of Burt Reynolds. Loni Anderson. Betty White and Charles Nelson Riley with Bert Convey as the host.

The secret relationship between Slo Freight Ben and the other guest El Paso Kid (Joe Hunt) was that they are King and Queen of the Hobos elected this past August at the Britt Hobo Convention. CBS gave them an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles and the Hobo Times, and Los Angeles newspaper, in conjuntion wth the Hobo Club, and a restaurant, gave a reception for the hobo royalty. Slo-Freight Ben and El Paso stumped the panel and were awarded prizes. The show is not being shown on the Cedar Rapids CBS station but can be seen in Des Moines on KCCI. Food trends have their roots in key demographic and population shifts.

Between the years 1990 and 2010. California will get some 3 6 million new residents from foreign countries, the U.S. Bureau of Census reports. These new Californians are sure to influence almost every aspect of day to day life on the West Coast, not the least of these being the types of foods offered and consumed. Another hot spot in the nation will be Florida.

We'll be looking to Florida to see how food manufacturers, supermarkets and restaurants will adapt to the aging population. Keeping track When Beneta Sankey of Jesup. also known at Slo-Freight Ben. became National Hobo Queen in August, the Courier published an article about her by staff writer Ann Langel.

Many children CEDAR FALLS The Stone Age, the Bronze Age. the Information Age. Today's tool is language, and children who grow up poorly trained in the use of that tool are doomed to a succession of failures and disappointments. In spite of the heroic efforts of mainstream and special education teachers in public and private school systems, hundreds of thousands of children each year fail to learn to read and write well. Their failures can compound over time, creating an expectation of failure in their minds and making progress even more phone book, and call.

You will be told what kind of help is available near you. You will be charged according to what you can afford to pay. There is no quick "cure," but a therapist may be able to tell you why you take things, and once you understand the reason for your behavior, you will be well on your way to overcoming it. I admire you. The person who knows he or she has a problem and seeks a solution is halfway cured.

IT COULD be an ovarian growth. An endometrioma is a distinctive growth of endometrial tissue. It starts as a bit of uterine lining that has migrated to non-uterine sites. Specifically, an endometrioma is one of those growths that has reached a size sufficient to be classified as a tumor.

Wayne Brownell, (319) 634-3754, by Sunday. DEAR ABBY: If you're an alcoholic, you can get help at Alcoholics Anonymous. If you're a drug addict, you can get help from any number of drug rehabilitation facilities. But if you're a kleptomaniac and not rich you are doomed. Psychiatrists charge outrageous fees to help kleptomaniacs, even though kleptomania is a "sickness," the same as drinking, smoking and drug addiction.

I know that taking things without paying for them is stealing, yet I take small items I have no use for I just can't seem to help myself. (It's just as hard to take things back, which I have tried to do several times.) I am a churchgoing, middle-aged woman, and that's all I can tell you about myself. Please answer me in the paper. Maybe others with this problem will write in and tell you how they were cured. KLEPTOMANIAC DEAR KLEPTOMANIAC: There IS help for you.

Find "Mental Health" under "County" in your tele Some illnesses DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am in my 20s and have been having yeast infections. Each time, I have to see a gynecologist and get a prescription, which is quite expensive. Can you please tell me what brings this infection back and if you know of a medication I can get over the cdunter? B.L. i CAN sympathize with your dilemma.

I don't think anyone can answer your central question as to just why some women seem to be bothered again and again with such infections while others go through life untouched by them. 3t is true that certain conditions seem to set the stage for the yeast growth. In your case, the answer, or part of it at least, can lie in trying to track down some continuing cause of the recurrent episodes. Such predisposing factors include diabetes, obesity and occlusive synthetic undergarments. The use of cortisone drugs, antibiotics and for Hurd40 WESTGATE Mr.
