Washington, D.C.-Senator
Lloyd Bentsen said Monday
that the Nosotros Human De-
velopment Center of San An-
tonio will receive federal sup-
port for a progam it is develop-
ing to deal with inhalent abuse
by Hispanic teenagers.
Following a merit review
conducted by non-federal ex-
perts for the! U.S. Alcohol,
Drug Abuse and Mental Health
Association (ADAMHA), Bent-
sen said, the Nosotros project
to deal with the problem-also
known as Fetal Solvent Syn-
drome (FSS)-ranked third na-
tionally among about 900 pro-
posals considered.
“Nosotros should be receiv-
ing about $800,000 for this
three-year program of preven-
tion and intervention, although
the precise amount won't be
determined for another few
days," Bentsen said.
“Inhalent abuse is particularly
prevalent amont young Hispan-
ics and, consequently, is too
often overlooked by those who
focus on drug abuse in gen-
eral,” he said.
The Nosotros proposal in-
cludes these objectives:
-develop information and edu-
cation materials on FSS,
-provide training and technical
assistance to an alliance of
community organizations that
work with affected groups,
-expand and supplement No-
sotros’ existing drug-interven-
tion services by establishing a
community outreach program,
and
-establish a community-based
transitional home for adole-
scent girls who have abused
inhalents.

Agricultural Producers
Recruiting Amsh Ernies
To Replace Illegal Aliens
COLLEGE STATION-New
Amish agricultural labor com-
munities are sprouting up in
Texas and may eventually re-
place widespread illegal alien
labor, says a Texas A&M
University sociologist.
The Amish--a society, a re-
ligion, a way of life unmetamor-
phosed by the present-are
coming to Texas in larger
numbers than ever to seek
employment opportunities, and
they are finding them, says Dr.
William Kuvlesky.
Since the passage of the
Immigration Reform and Con-
trol Act last November, illegal
aliens are finding it difficult to
qualify to work in non-perish-
able industries such as dairy,
poultry and livestock, he ex-
plained. Agricultural producers
are hiring-even recruiting -
Amish familes to work in these
areas.
Sociologist Kuvlesky said the
new wave of Amish settlements
began around 1980, and consis
ted until recently of transient
workers who simply wanted to
earn enough money to buy land
back home in Missouri, Ohio
and other areas.
But once in Texas, Kuvlesky
said, some began to settle down
and show no signs of going
back.
“The Amish are pioneering a
brand new labor structure for
Texas and agricultural pro-
ducers seem happy about it,"
he said. “Not only are they
skilled in agriculture, but they
also speak English, are accus-
toms to managing an enter
prose and they live to work and
serve God. That is advan
tageous to the entire com
munity.”
working with inhalent abuse
since 1961, has developed a
comprehensive, worthwhile
project. I am encouraged that
ADAMHA recognizes the scope
of the problem and Nosotros'
ability to deal with it,” Bentsen
said.
“This partnership between the
government and private com-
munity groups should provide a
solid foundation for working
with teenagers who have a
problem with inhalents and for
preventing further abuse,”
Senator Bentsen said. _

Letting Produce "Breathe”
To Stay Fresh
By Marcia Wood
Fruits and vegetables can
jtay fresh two to three times
longer if they’re wrapped im-
mediately after harvest in plas
tic films that let them "brea
the."
"Sometimes produce is wrap
ped in the back room of the
supermarket to make it more
attractive or easier to handle.
But that's not what we’re
talking about," says agricultu
ral marketing specialist Roger
E. Rij of USDA's Agricultural
Research Service in Fresno,
Calif. "We mean shrink-wrap
ping fresh fruits and vegetables
in the packing shed before
they're shipped."
Rij has tested a variety of
wraps on a wide number of
commodities, building on the
successes of ARS and Israeli
researchers, who in the i970's
used plastic film to preserve
freshness and storage life of
newly harvested citrus.
Commercial films have been
around for a while, but they
haven’t been commonly used on
freshly harvested U.S. produce
except some citrus and thin
skinned, hothouse-grown cu
cumbers.
The films look much like the
clear plastic used in some
stores and homes to wrap
produce, but that's where the
similarity ends. The commer
cial films that Rij tested are
more permeable, allowing the
wrapped produce to "inhale"
needed oxygen and "exhale"
excess carbon dioxide or ethy
lene.
"Produce must have a certain
amount of oxygen or it will
decompose faster than normal,"
says Rij. “It has to get rid of
excess carbon dioxide. And the
ethylene that certain fresh
fruits and vegetables give off is
a natural compound that would
otherwise cause overripening.”
According to Rij, the bottom
line is that produce wrapped
immediately after harvest
should stay fresh longer and
taste better. For growers, de
velopment of new, faster equip
ment for automatic wrapping
could mean new markets for
perishable foods.
Rij has tested several fruits
and vegetables and found that
shrink wrapping at harvest can
prolong the life of broccoli,
cantaloupes, tomatoes, pep
pers, cucumbers and eggplant.
GARDEN
Most Woody Shrubs And
Herbaceous Perennials
Can Be Planted In Fall
There are two groups of wood>
landscape plants that should only
be transplanted in spring. They
are plants with "fleshy'' root sss
tents and those classed as "hard
to move." In both cases, long w.inn
periods are needed tor plant re
establishment Doing this job in
spring will provide long-term grow
ing conditions suitable to reestab
lishment.
The best time in spring to trails
plant is before buds break on plants
already in place in the home land-
scape.
Anytime between August 15
and October 15 is the best time for
fall transplanting The carduM^.
gardeners transplant, the better
are conditions for root regenera
tion. Transplanting after that time
is risky, since the temperature is
too cold.
In tall transplanting, root re-
growth may occur over a longer
period, resulting in a larger re-
generated root system than in
spring.
With herbaceous perennials,
root growth proceeds at a faster
rate than woods plants and thus
have a shorter reestablishment
period As a rule these plants do

Having One Medicare Supplement Policy
Avoids Duplication Of Health Benefits
The State Board of Insurance
has urged older Texans to think
carefully before buying more
than one Medicare Supplement
policy.
Some Texas seniors have been
persuaded to purchase more
policies than they need
sometimes as many as six or
seven.
In reality, most people are
better off buying just one
Medicare Supplement policy
the most comprehensive one
they can afford.
Duplicating coverage gen
erally is a waste of money
One reason for this is that the
price of each policy includes
company expenses and over
head. A consumer who buys
