DEAR DR LAMB - I was
told by my doctor that my X-
rays show that I have a hiatal
hernia Every day after a
meal it’s either heartburn or
some pain. I take all kinds of
antacids, liquids or wafers. I
don't get much relief I was
told there was a reason for
that sort of problem. It gets
worse at times. Could you
give me some advice on what
this is and what kinds of medi-
cine I should take to relieve
the problem? I understand an
mize your problem This
includes not wearing a tight
belt around the waist or any
other tight garments.

Noodles from scratch
By Polly Cramer
POLLY'S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY - I have searched through many
cookbooks and cannot find a recipe for homemade
noodles. Silly me, I have forgotten how to make them. I
will be most grateful if you or one of the readers can
help me — BETTY
DEAR BETTY — I, too, had no luck finding such a
recipe in a cookbook bat a friend kindly shared with me
his mother’s recipe.
"Beat a whole egg and then add a bit of salt and
enough flour to make a dough as stiff as possible. Roll
out very thin. Rub a bit of flour over the dough so it does
not stick to the rolling pin. When thin roll up like jelly
roll, slice very thin with a very sharp knife. Loosen up
and dough will be in string-like pieces. The strips can be
dried or dropped in boiling broth to cook gently for
about 20 minutes."
This hand written copy, made many years ago, said
that the writer’s own mother used just egg yolks to
make yellow noodles. Do not ask for quantities as none
were given. — POLLY

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Con-

14-year-old dream of replacing
the present jumple of overlap-

federal criminal laws with an
organized code is about to be
fulfilled.
Hopes of enacting a new code
this year — possibly even this
month-were realized last
week when the House Judiciary
Committee approved a draft a
subcommittee headed by Rep.
Robert F. Drinan, D-Mass., had
worked on since February 1979.
The committee expects to get
a House vote in late July, about
the time the Senate votes on a
measure its Judiciary Commit-
tee approved last December.
To Drinan, the House bill cul-
minates a five-term House
career. A Jesuit priest, Drinan
has yielded to a papal rule
against clerics being in politics
and will not seek re-election

Drinan sees little difficulty. He
said the bills are 95 percent

Kenneth Feinberg, general

“Wow! Planned Parenthood hasn't

Urban sprawl attacks farms
By Robert Walters
DES MOINES (NEA) - The sprawling tract on the southern
edge of this city was fertile farm land not long ago But today
those fields of corn are only a memory, replaced by a subur-
ban housing development callled Greenfield Plaza.
The metamorphosis of that property is significant because
it typifies a disturbing pattern that has become evident all
across the nation - the irrevocable loss of the country's most
productive agricultural land
"The United States is losing 1 million acres of the world’s
best and flattest agricultural land each year to urban sprawl'
says Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland
In my lifetime, we've paved over the equivalent of all the
crop land in Ohio. Before this century is out, we will pave over
an area the size of Indiana," Bergland adds.
The National Agricultural Lands Study, a joint effort of 12
federal departments and agencies to study that problem,
offers this equally pessimistic view:
"Every day in the United States, 4 square miles of our
nation's prime farm land are shifted to uses other than agri-
culture The thief is urban sprawl.
“Today there are highways and houses, airports and shop-
ping centers on land that once produced an abundance of grain
and timber, forage, vegetables and fruits.
"There are motels and reservoirs, industrial parks and pow-
er plants on land where farmers once grazed their cattle and
harvested cotton and flax ...
"As prime farm land disappears, food is not our only loss
The quality of our lives is diminished There are garish signs
and glaring storefronts where leaves once caught the rain and
filtered the sunlight. There is asphalt where fields and woods
once beckoned and refreshed the spirit."
Estimates of the land now under cultivation throughout the
country range from 380 million to 410 million acres, but the
reserve is dwindling rapidly Remaining are only about 22
million acres with a high potential for conversion to crop land.
"For the first time in this nation’s history," says Charles
Little, president of the American Land Forum, “each new
subdivision, dam, factory, power plant or shopping center
threatens permanently to reduce the productive capacity of
American agriculture."
The implications of that trend are truly awesome. Sale of
agriculture products to other nations, currently valued at
more than $32 billion annually, represents by far the country’s
largest category of exports Any reduction invariably will
increase the United States’ already overwhelming balance of
payments deficit and further weaken the dollar
As prime agricultural land disappears, farmers are forced
to cultivate marginally productive land that requires more
fertilizer and tractor fuel and that is more vulnerable to soil
erosion, sedimentation and other forms of environmental
degradation The resulting higher production costs lead direct-
ly to increased prices paid by urban consumers at the super-
markets
If land losses continue at their current rate, all food pro-
duced in the United States by the end of this century will be
consumed in this country, exacerbating a world hunger prob-
lem that already has reached intolerable levels
"Continued destruction of crop land," says Bergland, “is
wanton squandering of an irreplaceable resource that invites
future tragedy not only nationally but on a global scale.”
Shopping-center developers and real-estate subdividers are
not the only villains in the saga Countless government depart-
ments and agencies have pumped billions of dollars into
sewer, dam, highway and other federal projects that encour-
age mindless development of the countryside
When the National Agriculture Lands Study produces its
final report early next year, its findings and recommendations
will merit serious attention. If they do not receive it, the
words of the Agriculture Department's Norman Berg could
long haunt the nation.
"Ten years from now," warns Berg, "Americans could be as
concerned over the loss of the nation's prime and important
farm land as they are today over the shortage of oil and
gasoline."
