Children's foods studied
BY ANITA SOLTER Health Reporter
the preference for various foods by child ages 1 to 3 is being examined at the Lawrence Dear Care Program, part of the Child Development and the Bureau of Child Research.
"There is much information on nutrients required for healthy development and the nutritional content of foods, but there is a lack of information about which foods actually will eat." Todd R. Ralley, professor of human development, said yesterday.
During the first year of research, 100 different foods will be tested and amounts eaten will be measured to determine children's preferences. This information will be used to content to develop recommended menus for day care centers and for parents, he said.
Emily Herbert-Jackson, courtesy assistant professor of human development, said the federal government suggested that day care centers provide one-half to two-thirds the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances (RDA) of the children.
"Day care fees usually don't cover the cost of the vacation temptation to cut food budgets," she said.
The importance of the menus that will be

"I don't hire," he said, speaking of actions that he couldn't take by himself, "I don't suspend, I don't lay off, I don't reward—except with an occasional smile."
"What do you do with your time?" another member asked.
By a large margin the group voted in favor of including department chairmen in the vestibule.
A member of the School of Law said the faculty of that school had voted unanimously to ask to be excluded from any recommendations the AUAP might make.
"We have just recently achieved our library's our library, with different rules, this is typicall law schools," he said. "Let us go our separate ways, since that's what we'd like."
That amendment passed unanimously as did a resolution to consider unclassified personnel in the recommendations at a later time.
Part-time faculty employed for 50 per cent of the time or more were also included in the recommendations, as long as the part-time faculty member occupied one of the posts approved in the recommendations.
developed is that proper amounts of nutrients will be provided and waste will be avoided because children will eat the food served to them. Herbert-Lickson said.
This research is sponsored by funds from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Other characteristics of food acceptance,
such as texture, temperature, color appeal
and appearance.
An amendment was also approved which stressed that these recommendations were only to be considered as advice in the event that a work unit were formed at KU.
Herbert-Jackson said children preferred foods of a mushy texture, such as spaghetti or soup, more than foods of a harder texture, such as chicken.
"We found that children would not eat steamed corn stick," but would吃steamed corn stick."
Risley said that children don't seem to be concerned with the temperature of foods. They are as happy with food served warm as with food served at room temperature.
Studies are also being conducted to determine if exposure to food over a year's time will increase its popularity. A menu item such as liver would be repeated once a month for a year, and each child's intake would be noted. Herbert-Jackson said.
Marie Z. Cross, associate professor of human development specializing in nutrition, is a consultant for the research. She was also a member of were magnified during the ages of 1 to 3.
Nutrients are needed for growth as well as for energy requirements, she said. Because the child is growing new cells, he can't go back to pick up missed nutrients.
Lawrence Day Care Program, which is in the Meadowbrook apartment complex. All socio-economic backgrounds are allowed to children from low-income families.
"This is a most critical age when dietary habits are being formed that will stay with them for the rest of their lives." Cross said. Twenty children are enrolled at the
"None of these children suffer from malnutrition," Herbert-Jackson said. "But they have the dietary problems of all animals, who must be protein and not enough iron in their diets."
Often, children of this age don't get suf-
ficient amounts of calcium and vitamin C,
when they are small.
Herbert-Jackson said the children received two snacks and lunch each day at the day care program. The morning snack is milk; lunch is a main dish, vegetable or fruit and milk, and the afternoon fruit or fruit drinks and cereal products.
A study of milk preference already has been completed.
Norfat dry milk, liquid skim milk, 2 per cent milk and whole milk were tested.
Risley said there was no difference in preference of type of milk. Also, the children showed no preference for cold or room temperature, not dry milk day.
"Therefore, we recommend nonfat dry milk for children because they accept its taste, it is less expensive and provides the nutrients it needs," served at room temperature." Isley said.
Low buttermilk milk is preferable to milk with high butterfat content, which has been implicated in heart disease and obesity, he added.
The milk preference study is being duplicated with the 3-to-4-year-old children at the Educate Laboratory, a day care facility of the Edna A. Hill Child Development Preschool Laboratory in Haworth Hall.

County jail's security, size deter thoughts of jailbreak
Despite a rash of jail breaks in nearby Lawrence, Lawrence has lost only two prisoners in the last 10 years, Sheriff Rex Johnson said yesterday.
By STEVE FRY Police Reporter
One reason that Douglas County has been successful in keeping prisoners is that they are watched more closely, Johnson said. The sheriff's department tried to observe prisoners more than other jails do, he said. A second reason for the Douglas County jail is that it keeps fewer prisoners than the Shawnee county jail in Topka, he said.
In contrast, six prisoners recently escaped from the Shawnee and Clay county jails. Three prisoners escaped Nov. 17 from the Shawnee jail after using a bunk bed
One of the Shawnee County escapers was Donald Long, who has been charged in Douglas County with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting Nov. 13 of Todd Winfield, Winfield junior. Long was recaptured the next day about a mile from the fall.
person and one cell used for a variety of purposes will hold one prisoner.
Three Clay County jail inmates escaped Monday. The three apparently used a hacksaw to cut two bars in their basement and then cut in a one-inch bar, on an outside window.
The Douglas County jail, which is more than 60 years old, will hold 26 prisoners, Johnson said. Four cells will hold six inmates each, the trustee's cell will hold one
However, the new jail in the county Judicial Center being built a half block east of the old jail will be a tremendous improvement. Johnson said.
the new jail will be able to hold more than two刑 as many prisoners as the old jail 618
Some of the improvements that the new jail will have are:
- A all-oathmatic locking system to open and close all cell doors from one control.
- A small clinic to treat one or two patients at a time.
A jailing system to separate hard-core foots from prisoners charged with misdemeanor.
