It's watermelon time, and that
means good, refreshing eating on a
hot summer day.
Watermelon, a great treat for
dieters, is low in calories, and it is a
good source of potassium and
phosphorus-two minerals essential
for good nutrition. Watermelon also
supplies some of the B-vitamins,
Vitamin C and Vitamin A.
To serve watermelon, cut into
slices or wedges, or into balls and
cubes for variety. Or, create a
refreshing salad for summer mon-
ths by combining the cool tastes of
watermelon, cantalope and honey
dew melon balls. Add a few
blueberries and peaches for an ex-
tra taste tingler.
A watermelon bowl is impressive,'
yet easy to prepare. So it will set
evenly, cut a thin slice from the bot-
tom of Vi watermelon, which has
been cut lengthwise. Remove edible
portion, leaving shell intact;
scallop edges of shell, Cut melon In-
to chunks, remove seeds. In bowl
combine Vfe cup sugar with 1 cup
fresh squeezed orange juice and
juice of one lemon; stir into
dissolved sugar. Add three or four
valencia oranges, peeled, cut-in
bite-size pieces, one peach or nec-
tarine, sliced, one banana, sliced,

ATVs Have Poor Safely Record
All-terrain vehicles, better known
to their users as ATVs, are among
the hottest-selling, summer
recreational items among people
who can afford the investment. The
three-wheeled motorcycles can
scoot over sand dunes, marshes,
pastures and other areas inac-
cessible to autos.
But problems mar the vehicles'
reputation. Since they have been
available, thousands of injuries and
some deaths, mostly of children,
have been attributed to their use.
The injury rate to users of ATVs
is double that of two-wheel vehicles.
More than 45 percent of the injuries
are suffered by riders under age 16,
and 24 percent occur to kids under
12.
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission reports that in
1982 when ATVs were new, 8,585 in-
juries were reported. That total has
jumped dramatically every year
since, as popularity and numbers of
ATVs have spread.
Two Ruskites
Listed Oñ
Dean's List
Dana Yvette Christopher and
Debora M. Wallis of Rusk are
among 91 students named to the
Dean's List for the spring semester
at The University of Texas at Tyler.
A special education major at the
university, Christopher is a 1984
graduate of Tyler Junior College.
Wallis, an early childhood
education major, is a 1984 graduate
of Kilgore College.
To be named to the Dean's List a
student must have completed a
minimum of nine hours with a 3.75
grade point average at UT Tyler.
From Jan. 1 to April 30 this year,
some 28,000 injuries were attributed
to ATV use. At least 161 deaths, 11 of
which were in Téxas arid 40 of which
were in surrounding states, have
resulted from accidents with ATVs
since government agencies began
studying the machines' safety.
Dan Sowards, of the Texas
Department of Health Hazardous
Products Branch said that studies
are under way to determine if user
ignorance or negligence, or
engineering defects are linked to
the majority of injuries and deaths.
He recently testified for the Con-
sumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) at a hearing in Dallas.
"CPSC only now is able to get in-
depth information from consumer
groups, ATV manufacturers and
distributors, and independent
safety experts about the reported
problems associated with ATVs,"
Sowards said. "Only now can some
of the possible problems with ATVs
be identified by studying the
variety of injuries attributed to
them. Most injuries result from the
rider's loss of control. The
machines can overturn or roll over
in some circumstances. Sometimes
riders have been thrown off."
"At the recent hearing in Dallas,
parents of small children and
physicians from surroui dir.,
states, representing indiviu¡
who have been disabled or kilkv
called for stiffer regulation of AT-
Vs. They wanted clearer warnings
of the potential hazard, training and
education required for anyone
using an ATV, and age and protec -
tive clothing requirements for ATV
users. Some advocated a ban on the
machines in the United States
"CPSC will hold two more
hearings before making any con
elusions about ATVs' safety, but >t
is clear the public wants guidance
in how to avoid some of the
tragedies already experienced t
would expect that by this time next
year CPSC will have moved on the
evidence it is collecting now
Sowards said.
Sowards added that the VI V
manufacturers, mostly based n
Japan, have reported backlogs >1
orders for their new four-wheelei
ATVs, which are believed to be
more stable.
