Broad St. Well, What Do Vou Know 1 fun, game# and knowledge by MARTHA GLAUBER SHARP, Editor, The New Book of Knowledge Why does the United States flag have stars? Everyone knows why the United States flap has stripes, but even historians are not sure why it has stars. They have three possible answers, however. The stars may have come from a Dutch flag. Or the idea may have been borrowed from Rhode Island’s flag. Also, it could have come from the stars on George Washington’s coat of arms. £ John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States, wrote in his diary that the stars stood for the new Amer ican Union. He also said that the stars meant that Ameri cans hoped to be at peace with the world. People at the time used the word “constel lation” to mean the 13 stars. To some it may have repre sented a new country being born, the way a new constel lation of stars suddenly ap pears in the sky. Can changes in temperature break up rocks? To find out, try this dem onstration at a cookout. After the food has been cooked but while the coals are still glow ing, place several kinds of rocks in the coals. You may see some of the rocks crack almost immediately. In about 10 minutes, when the rocks have become very hot, rake them out of the coals, using a long-handled tool. Examine the rocks for cracks. Some of the rocks will be broken. Heat makes a solid, such as a rock-, expand. The outside of the rock may expand so much that it breaks away from the cooler inside. Hoiv arc hurricanes named? Meteorologists of the United States Weather Bu reau give girls’ names to hur ricanes that start in the Ca ribbean Sea. This idea started during World War II and haa been continued ever since. It is a way of identifying each hurricane. The first hurricane of the season is given a girl’s name that starts with A, such as Audrey. The next one be comes Brenda or Barbara or any other name that begins with B. The next one is called by a name that begins with C, and so on. Each season the names are changed, so that hurricanes will not be con fused with storms of previous years. Newspapers or milk bottles that pile up on your porch or front steps serve almost as an engraved invitation to the home burglar.

Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council' JUNE DAIRY MONTH Since June is Dairy Month it’s , of milk and nonfat milk products, apropos to talk about milk and its products, long favorites of the American consumer. The popular ity of milk is deserved when one realizes the nutritional contribu tion it makes to our food supply. For example, dairy foods — one of the four basic food groups — give us: • Over three fourths of the national supply of calcium. • More than a fifth of the protein. • Over a third of the nation’s phosphorus • More than two-fifths of our riboflavin supply. • About a seventh of the vita mins, in our food plus many other vitamins and minerals. And weight watchers will be interested to know that with all this nourishment, milk and its products give us only 10% of the calories in our national food supply. Numerous studies in recent years have demonstrated that the dietary’ habits of individuals from nearly all age, sex, and income groups can be improved. Calcium and iron often are below recom mended levels. A recent U S Department of Agriculture report, for example, i reads, in part “This report reinforces the j need for increased consumption 1 fruits and vegetables. In addition, it indicates the need for better food sources of iron, especially for infants, young children, and ) for girls and women.” In its annual publication, “How’ Americans Use Their Dairy Foods,” the National Dairy Coun cil reports: “Several new sales ! records for dairy foods were es tablished last year. Sales of fluid [ nonfat and low fat milk, for ex ample, were at an all-time high of 44.5 pints per person in 1968 — more than 5 pints above the 1967 sales level and more than double the per capita rate of sales in 1960 “Consumer demand for cheese was at a record level also . to a high of 10 1 pounds per person . “Sales of ice cream and other frozen dairy foods were con sumed in a record-setting 21.6 quarts per person during 1968 ” Ice cream sales alone repre sented 15 6 quarts per person. Butter remained unchanged at 49 pounds per person. Says NDC: “The long-term down trend in per capita sales of but ter appears to have leveled off.” Fluid whole milk and fluid cream declined slightly Sales of non fat dry milk rose to 5 2 ^pounds per person. Consumer demand for cottage cheese remained constant at 4 5 pounds per per son Let’s stop wasting America’s BOYPOWER AmerkaV manpower begins with BOYPOWER Be aVblunteer Scout Leader ♦ Bov Scouts of America WORTH aaarafjo ABOUT It is my considered judg ment that the limitation of our future success will not be lack of knowledge, or lack of mate rial resources, nor even lack of professional and managerial talents to enable us, through instrumentation and other ele ments of automation, to raise the level of our economy, of our education, our health, our arts and our reference. What will limit us, possibly even stop us cold, will be a failure to engage- and utilize to the fullest extent of his capability every responsible citizen of this great nation.
