Methodist Women Focus On Bible Special Week The evening general meeting of the United Methodist Women of the First United Methodist church of McHenry, Thursday, Nov. 18, was well attended. Mrs. Evelyn Smith was in charge of the program, and Mrs. G. Boehm had the meditations. In observance of Bible week, the program focused on the Bible, and the film strip was most interesting. It was a very fine program which everyone really enjoyed. Following the program delicious refreshments were served by the Evening circle. Then, to give the Evening circle a chance to participate,, a mini- bazaar was held and the ladies were able to see and purchase some of the many novel items featured at the October annual bazaar. A nylon delinter brush borrowed as a sample has disappeared and the ladies are anxious to find it and return it to its owner. The next executive com­ mittee meeting of the United Methodist Women will be Wednesday, Dec. 1. at 9:30 a.m. at the church. Starting in January the Executive com­ mittee meetings will be the first Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the church.

Attempting to describe the special combination of subtle flavors and seasonings that gives dishes "their wonder­ ful Qreek-ness" Telly listed ingredients from some of his favorite dishes. "There's honey for sweetness, along with lemon, mint, oregano and cinnamon as seasonings. All, of course, are carefully balanced." Taking a break between rehearsals for a Greek dance segment to be featured on his television special airing February 18 on CBS-TV, Telly expressed a fondness for the following lamb recipe. "Just serve it with some celery egg- lemon, potatoes a la Greque and chilled retsina" says Telly, "and I'll be right over."

"The fishing season was drawing to a close," Charlie said, "and they felt they needed one more run to hold them through the winter." Since a storm was brewing offshore, many of the wives pleaded for them to stay home. But they went anyway and, to their delight, made a big haul. However, as they headed home, the storm worsened and they lost their sense of direction. The wives, mean­ while, had met in th^ijoat- house to pray. As they were praying, Annie, one of the younger wives, noticed someone's house was burning on the hill. Intuitively, she knew whose home it was. A new, inexperienced bride, she had left the candle burning, and somehow, it had set the house afire. But as the other women stood helpless, watching the flames, they heard a shout. Their husbands were safe on shore! Annie was sad and happy all at the same time. As she hung her head, she sobbed, "Eric, I don't know how to tell you. But I left the candle burning. Our home is gone." To her surprise, he slipped his arm around her waist as he whispered, "Annie, you mustn't cry. It was the light from our burning cottage which brought us home!" R. J. Hastings is editor of The Illinois Baptist in Springfield ABOUT MEAT Eating can be one of life's great pleasures. But, for those who do not eat properly, food can be one of life's problems. Misconceptions about food and nutrition are potentially harmful to health, particularly when the misinformation con­ cerns such a basic staple as meat. Some people believe that less expensive cuts of meat are less nutritious than the more expensive cuts. But, the fact is that less expensive cuts of meat provide equally nutri­ tious and satisfactory meals if they are properly prepared. For example, chuck roast and hamburger are just as nutri­ tious as a strip steak or a rib roast and beef liver, which is much less expensive than PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1?7« from the same cuts of meat we usually purchase from the supermarket, such as the loin, ham and shoulder of pork, and the chuck, round, flank and brisket of beef. Using leftover meat is another good way to stretch the family food budget. Can­ ning, cooking or reheating meat does not cause any no­ ticeable change in the pro­ tein or the mineral content of the meat. Weight watchers should be aware that ham and pork are no more fattening than other meats. Ham, pork loin roasts, pork chops and pork tender­ loin are as. lean as similar cuts of beef dr lamb. Even lean meat must have some fat or it would be dry and flavorless. Fat gives meats its flavor and prevents it from becoming ex­ cessively dry during cooking. Remember, shop wisely and prepare a balanced diet which should include meat. Pork, lamb, beef and veal are excellent sources of high quality protein, B-vitamins, iron and minerals necessary for good health. < alves liver, is every bit as good for you. Price bears little relation nutritional value because t^e pride of m$Rt is deter- ined mainly by the tender­ ness of\the cut and its availa­ bility. It just isn't possible to proCTuce) cattle that are all steakstfr hogs that are all pork chops. A 1,000 pound steer yields only about 53 pounds of broiling steaks. A 210 pound hog yields only 13 pounds of pork chops. Budget-conscious con­ sumers should keep in mind that less expensive processed meats such as hot dogs and luncheon meats are just as nutritious as most fresh meats.
