co Rs WHAT'S UP, DOC?
In my garden? Carrots. oo
"Perhaps Bugsy owes his vitality and good health to the carrots
heis constantly munching. : mo
That.

_ rennially healthy rabbit of Warner Brothers fame is still
- alive and-cheeky. and living the good animated life. Does he know
~ something that we don’t? — ee,
Did you know that one cup of diced carrots provides.9,000
. 1.U. of vitamin A inthe form of carotene, some B vitamins, 10
‘mg, of vitamin C, 90 mg. of calcium, 82 mg. of phosphorous, as
well-as 1.2 mg. of iron, 2 grams of protein, plus fiber, and some
vitamin D, E, G and K, and potassium? Quite a mouthful.
Having: only 42 calories per 100 prams, carrots are an excellent
diet food... SO

Carrots have also been recommended in various health journals

for a variety of ailments. They have natural laxative and diuretic
qualities and: have been used to help stomach and intestinal pro-
blems. _
Carrot juice — sweet, tasty, and bright-coloured — provides a
concentration of nutrients and its a strong natural body cleanser.
In a “‘Medical Doctors’ Guide to Herbs”, this is what it has to
say about medicinal uses for Bugsy’s favourite vegetable: ‘‘.., This

vegetable is good for the urinary organs and especially useful for

gallstones... The fresh root scraped fine, covered with boiling
water, and thickened with a little cornmeal, makes an excellent
poultice for all painful tumours, swellings, and indolent, =~

gangrenous ulcers. Furthermore... the seeds of this vegetable are. |

good. for kidney stones.” ao

. And, as everyone knows, carrots are good for your eyes. But.
do you know why? It’s the carotene, or pro-vitamin A — impor-
tant for vision, particularly night vision. os oo

The carotene in carrots is more efficiently assimilated by the.
‘body when fresh carrots are juiced or eaten raw. It is the
carotene in carrots that is converted by the body into vitamin A.,

Taken raw in the form of juice, grated in a salad, or eaten
Bugs Bunny-style, carrots should form an essential. part of our
balanced diet. me oT

Is it any wonder then, that Mom — smarter than we ever gave —

her credit for being — would lovingly admanish, “Eat your car-"
rots, Dear.” a _ —
Is that who Bugs Bunny was winking at?

were some residents of Ter-

downtown on their own, but
who have difficulty with the

_ German experience with such

NATO exercises, which esca-
lated to the point where between

° 10 and 145 flights per day at

altitudes as low as 100 meters
were taking place,

Germans became so vocal in
their opposition to the exercises
that, Dr. Iskenius says, the
training flights have now been
moved to remote areas of
Canada. . .

Organizers are inviting the
public to attend the meeting and

examine the implications of mil-

B.C. Transit is currently re-
viewing existing services and
identifying and making arrange-

ments to meet with specific user

groups. This month, they will be
using collected information to
determine the various options
that could be introduced in Ter-

impact of each. In August, New
will return to Terrace for an-

other meeting to discuss the op- |

tions and hopefully make a deci-
sion as to which one, if any, will
be implemented.
