Kazen in Washington
By Abraham (Chick) Kazen, Jr., M.C
The Administration and the Congress took significant action to help farmers last week.
When the President announced that he was cutting grain shipments to the Soivet Union as a result of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, I said I supported the action because I was confident that domestic agriculture would not be hurt. That confidence was fulfilled last week when the Department of Agriculture announced that up to $2 billion would be used to buy corn, wheat and soybeans previously consigned to the Soviet Union. The money had been set aside in the 1980 and 1981 budgets for commodity support programs, so will not be affected by the President’s current efforts to cut federal spending.
VOLUME UNCERTAIN
Agriculture Department economists could not provide figures on how much grain will be purchased by government. Instead, the plan calls for purchasing whatever proves necessary to maintain the price levels of. early January, when the embargo was announced. Com in mid-February was selling at an average national price of $2.36 a bushel. Purchases are planned to push the price back up to $2.45. Grain sorghum prices should be affected because com and grain sorghum are interchangeable for cattle feed. Corn actually purchased and stored by the government cannot be sold for less than $3.15.
Soybean purchases, expected to take the 700 million metric tons ordered by the soviets, will be subject to offers from the Commodity Credit Corporation, beginning in mid-April, while 4.5 million metric tons of wheat will be brought up as it is harvested.
NEW WHEAT CORN TARGETS
The House last week approved 7 per cent increases in target prices for 1980 wheat and feed grains. Target prices are important for two reasons, the House was reminded by Congressman Tom Foley of Washington, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. They provide a safety net against unexpectedly low prices by providing government payments of the difference between the target prices and average market prices in the first five months of the crop year. The target prices are also used to calculate compensation provided to farmers if their crops are hit by natural disasters.
The House tried last year to re-establish target levels that we thought would be fair to farmers hurt by production cost increases, but we could not get agreement in the Senate. Now that has been achieved, and the legislation has gone to the President for signature into law.
LOAN PROGRAMS EXTENDED
The House also voted. 392-22, to extend and increase farm loans to those farmers unable to get private credit. The American Bankers Association urged passage, as did the farm organizations, so the House increased the ceiling on total loans to $6 billion and increased from $50,000 to $100,000 the maximum amount that could be borrowed to buld on-farm storage facilities.
When we established the farm loan emergency program supported because I recognized need to operation
encouraging to those who produce our food and fiber. The orginal bill provided funds to launch the loan program, but
these have been nearly exhausted, so I saw the obvious need to continue and improve the program.
A healthy farm economy is a keystone to the nation’s health, supports our small towns and cities, and serves every American in an essential way.
REJECT REGISTERING WOMEN
By a vote of 8-1, the Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee tabled a bill providing for registration of women for military service. I was one of those who opposed the bill, which was supported only by Mr. Won Pat of Guam. I pointed out that military services already getting all women they can use volunteers, and testimony before the Committee showed that a majority of citizens of this country, where the draft to reinstituted, would oppose the drafting of women.
The Committee action did not involve young men. By law, the President has authority to call for registration of male youths, and we have been informed that he will soon call for registration of 18 and 19-year-olds to provide the nation with an inventory of personnel-how many there are and where they are- in case we ever have to reinstitute the draft of young men.

La clave para un control efectivo del peso es mantener el equilibro entre lo que ingiere y su actividad física.	Con solo 30
minutos de ejercicio moderado al dia puede perder alrededor de 25 libras en un ano, si mantiene el mismo consumo de alimentos, si anande a su dieta regular un pedazo de pan o un refresco al dia, puede ganar hasta 10 libras extras en solo un ano, si mantiene su actividad física al mismo nivel.
El equilibrio entre el ejercicio y la dieta és algo difícil pero las personas afectadas por el sobrepeso pueden usar este principio de control para su beneficio.
Según el consejo del presidente de educación física y deportes, existen dos falacias comunes sobre el ejercicio y el control de peso. La primera es que toma mucho tiempo y esfuerzo gastar calorías mediante el ejercicio para rebajar de peso. No es asi. La segunda es que los ejercicios aumentan el apetito. Los estudios científicos también revelan que no es cierto.
Todos hemos notado el sobrepeso que aparece en la edad madura cuando la persona se establece. Cuales son sus causas? Casi ninguna. Una mujer que ingiere 96 calorías mas de las que gasta al dia puede aumentar 50 libras en un ano. Con solo 25 minutos de caminata activa cada dia previene este aumento.
En estudios acerca del sobrepeso, los resultados demuestran que el comienzo de la obesidad corresponde a una disminución en la actividad física. Es fácil no ejercitarse luego de terminar
los estudios y ubicarse en un trabajo sedentario.
Que puede hacer? Lugo de hacerse un examen medico, comience un programa regular de ejercicios. Esto implica dedicar 30 minutos o una hora diaria al ejercicio, cinco dias a la semana. Una caminata activa, la natación, el trotar o correr bicicleta son formas de ejercicios excelentes.
O si lo prefiere, jugar tenis, golf (si camina el campo) o patinar. Camine en vez de manejar, bailar, trabajar en el jardín o subir las escaleras en vez de tomar el ele vedar.
