There Is an almost unbelievable variety of nibble foods to satisfy this de mand. Although snacks are year- round items, their popularity peak is early summer and again from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. This obviously fol lows the holiday season. Snack food sales have been growing rapidly. These foods are consumed by Americans at a rate equivalent to about $2 bill ion in sales each year. Grocery store buyers estimate the number of snack foods on the market has probably doubled in the last few years. With so many products avail able, and so much spent in ad vertising the new items, it is no wonder that snacks are an established part of the American diet. However, snack foods often take the place of, or leave little room for regular meals. It is therefore vital that these meals furnish a part of the nutrients needed in our diets. Milk, milk drinks, and fruit Juices could replace some of the less nutritive drinks. Not only would this aid in our nutritive Intake, it would also reduce the number of calories. For example, an eight-ounce glass of skim milk contains 85 calories and supplies calcium, thiamine, and riboflavin while the only contribution of an eight-ounce glass of carbonated drink is 106 calories. Carrot sticks, raw tomatoes, oranges, and dried fruits also are good snack foods. Looking to the future, snack companies envision a flood of products incorporating new snack foods. With this in mind, the wise meal planner will select carefully for both meal time and snack time food to give a balanced diet. In 1967, the total employment cost for the American iron and steel industry set a new record -- an average of $4.76 per hour. Iron and steel companies in the U. S. are scheduled to spend a record $2.3 billion for capi tal improvements during 1968, the sixth consecutive year in which the figure has increased. 0 0 0 0 0 s 1 B EXTRA SPECIAL! just *199 0 w° BUYS THIS +Krtpjtrlnjfc- 30” RANGE EASY TERMS FREE SERVICE AND DELIVERY RB515 s o Recessed, No-Drip Cook Top Lift-Up Surface Units Removable Oven Door Easy Clean Oven Baked-on Porcelain Finish Rotary 5 Heat Control Hidden Leveling Legs y=Jf=Jr=Jr=if=Ji=ir=ii=iraJH B T.
