Fruit is one of the happiest
conclusions to a meal,
whether you are trying to lose
weight or not.
During a period of weight
loss there are certain fruits,
notably bananas, grapes,
cherries, figs and dates, that
should be avoided because of
their high carbohydrate
(sugar) content.
There are many beautiful

and delicious fruits that can
be included in your list any
time, because they provide
many nutrients.
If fruits are purchased
slightly underripe, they
should be gently washed in
flowing water (not soaked)
and stored at room tempera
ture for ripening. As soon as
they are ripe they must be
refrigerated.
Fruits lose flavor and
water-soluable vitamins
when soaked in water.
Lemons or lime juice poured
over freshly cut fruit will help
prevent the unattractive
brown discoloration, caused
by exposure to the air.
While many fruits are de
lightful washed and eaten
raw, there are interesting
variations that are simple to
do and add flair to any meal.
Here are some fun recipes
to try.
GRAPEFRUIT GRANDE
Chill grapefruit thoroughly,
cut in halves and loosen pulp
from peel with sharp, curved
grapefruit knife. Cut out
fibrous center, remove pulp
in sections, set aside and
chill.
Combine V. cup sliced fresh
strawberries and V« cup
sliced fresh orange sections.
Combine strawberries,
oranges and grapefruit into
grapefruit cups. Sprinkle
with powdered sugar or
powdered sugar substitute.
Top each cup with one whole
strawberry.
SPIKED CANTALOUPE
Cut off a small slice from
the top of a large, ripe canta
loupe. Remove seeds and
strings. Pour in Vi cup of
white wine. Replace top and
chill overnight. Serve in
slices with rind removed and
the marinated wine as dress
ing. Garnish with fresh lime
wedge. Other varieties of
melons and wines may also
be used for new flavors.

berries. Place under broiler
until hot and bubbly. Serve at
once.

Budget Weight Loss Diet” is
available in bookstores.
Dear Shirley,
How do I know what my
“normal weight” is?
Mrs.G.L.
Dear Mrs. G. L.,
A woman 5 feet tall should
weigh about 100 pounds. Add
5 pounds for each additional
inch in height. This is only a
very general guide. The best
way to determine your
normal weight is to stand in
front of a mirror in the nude.
If you do not have any lumps
or bumps of fat on you, you
are perfect.

Rental unit
shortage
to worsen
By JAMES M. WOODARD
Copley News Service
What happens when a fam
ily can’t afford to purchase a
home of their own? They
rent, of course, until they are
in a financial position to buy.
What happens when no
more rental apartment units
are available —a point which
many communities are ap
proaching? The solution to
that ominous problem will not
come easy. To stimulate the
development of more apart
ments, experts are pointing
to more land-lease projects,
new financing concepts, inno
vative building technology,
research for new and lower
priced building materials,
government subsidy pro
grams, etc.
An increasingly serious
shortage of rental apart
ments seems inevitable, how
ever.
Why is there such a short
age of apartments? Why
aren’t more being built if
tenants are ready and able to
move in?
It’s primarily a matter of
simple economics. The net
profit in owning and operat
ing a rental apartment devel
opment has decreased to the
point where there is little
motivation to build new units.
Last year, net income (af
ter operational expenses are
paid) decreased for apart
ment buildings for the first
time in five years. Cost in
creases in operating an
apartment are vastly greater
than rent increases.
During the past year, rents
have increased by an average
of 5.1 per cent, while oper
ational expenses have in
creased by 17.3 per cent, it
was pointed out by Richard
R. Wood, a vice president of
the Real Estate Securities
and Syndication Institute of
the National Association of
Realtors. Speaking at the 1975
convention of the California
Association of Realtors, he
said “the value of building
new apartment buildings is
vanishing.”
All operational costs have
increased. But probably the
most dramatic examples are
heating fuel and utility costs.
During 1973 and 1974, heating
fuel costs alone increased 60.8
per cent. Utility bills rose 26.1
per cent. Maintenance and
repair costs have also shown
steady increases.
Other key factors that are
being carefully considered by
builders and developers are
the trend toward stiffer land
lord-tenant legislation, more
demanding “tenant unions”
and the threat of rent con
trols.
