Recycling--that word we hear so much about^can be combined with A bit of imagination and sewing know-how to produce a new wardrobe from old clothing. Some ideas that come quickly to mind changing long-sleeve dresses and/or blouses to short sleeves; turning high neckline garments into low-neckline items; changing a "V" neck sweater to a "U" shaped neckline. You can add contrasting cuffs and collars to a blouse or shirt to give it a new look. A-line dresses can readily be converted into jumpers by re­ moving the sleeves. The item will look completely new if you alter neckline shape and add some topstitching, braid, dif­ ferent buttons or pockets. If you are a novice with needle, thread and sewing machine, take the time to visit a nearby sewing center or library before you begin. Lode for "how to" sewing books and do some homework (reading) and planning before you undertake to renovate a gar­ ment. Know exactly what you plan to do before you cut off sleeves or alter necklines. Start with one of your less-favored clothing items and work your way toward proficiency. feln* M Varied Menus Help Attract Winter Birds Thick and Tired Diets are for people who are thick and tired of it.

This Is the third consecutive first place trophy for McHenry's debaters this season. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Birdwatchers who put out nothing but seed and suet for their feathered friends are not attracting nearly as many species of birds to their yards as they might with more varied menus, according to the current issue of Ranger Rick's Nature magazine. In an article called "Recipes for the Birds," the National Wildlife federation monthly publication lists meat scraps, corn meal, peanut hearts, apples, hamster pellets, raisins, and sand as other ingredients for dishes with such names as the "Nuthatch Nibble" and the "Flicker Fricassee." The sand, authors Ed and Irene Cosgrove say, is needed to help birds grind and digest their coarse diets. Raw beef suet-ground, melted, and then chilled-is recommended as "very important in providing energy and warmth during the cold winter months." If you start feeding birds in the fall, Ranger Rick advises, continue feeding until leaves are out in the spring, when insects and other food become plentiful. Bird lovers may want to try the following recipes and keep a record of what winged visitors drop in to dine: GROSBEAK GOOLASH Va cup sunflower seeds Mj cup hamster pellets One-third cup dog biscuits Mt cup All-bran >/4 teaspoon sand 34 cup suet Put sunflower seeds, hamster pellets, crushed dog biscuits,. All-bran and sand into a coconut shell half. Set aside. Put suet through meat grinder and place in double boiler. Melt and set aside to cool and harden slightly. Reheat and, while in liquid form, pour :,4 cup over ingredients in coconut shell. Refrigerate to harden. JAYJAMBALAYA Raw beef suet >/4 cup meat scraps 1 cup cornmeal cup bread crumbs 1 cup peanut hearts or pieces 1 teaspoon sand Save your meat scraps; do not remove fat. Put these through meat grinder and set aside in a medium-size bowl. To this add 1 cup cornmeal, ^ cup bread crumbs, 1 cup peanut hearts or pieces and 1 teaspoon sand for grit. Cut up suet and put through meat grinder. Place in double boiler, melt, set aside to cool and harden. Reheat and, while in liquid form, pour 1 cup over dry ingredients. Spoon into suet container or feeder. Refrigerate until Arm. Hamburger Is King The hamburger is the king of fast food restaurant orders. Chicken is in second place; pizza third and fish fourth.
