Mrs. Floyd Amos, LuAnnand Michael By NA1DA CHRISTIAN Women's Editor The break is not the personal property of office personnel. Housewives indulge in these calory filled, time consuming pastimes, too, and Mrs. Floyd Amos, 221 Dillaway, has a recipe Sweet Corn Will Soon Be On the Market By MARY JVIACOMBEK Director, Nutrition Service for Iowa Department of Health With the field corn knee high even before the Fourth of July, this means it won't be long before the home grown sweet corn will be available to use at the grocer's, and at the roadside stands. A great favorite of many people of all ages, sweet corn will be served regularly throughout the late summer months, I doubt that anything ever tastes better than home grown sweet corn, steaming hot and dripping with salty butler.

One suggestion for roasting sweet corn in the husks on hot coals in the open fire is to pull back the green husks and soak the ears in cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain and brush with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pull up the husks and wrap in heavy duty foil. Place on hot coals, turn frequently and roast for about 25 minutes. A nice sized ear will yield the energy value of around 85 calories.

Add some butter, say one half teaspoon and you can count on 100 calories if you limit the butter to one half teaspoon per ear. Two ears, 200 But; go hog wild, overdo the butter, another ear of corn or four and it's not difficult to chalk up the calorics during sweet com season. (Remember, an extra 500 each day for a week, and there will be a gain of one unwanted pound of fat.) It is really not fair, though, to call sweet corn Those who have developed respect for it as a source of energy will shave on other food eaten during the season, and will make a point to. increase activity, in order to enjoy sweet corn to its fullest. This is the way to keep weight under control during sweet corn season.
