The joint installation of the auxiliary. Post 491 and World War I barracks was held at the Legion home in August. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Busy days are the time for easy make-ahead meals. Vegetable Casserole Almondine can be made the night before and heated just before serving time. With the addition of French bread or dinner rolls, it becomes a complete and well-balanced meal. The casserole is an economical dish that will satisfy the heartiest appetite. Eggplant and zucchini, both in season right now, are two of the principle ingredients. Protein is provided by the almonds, cheese and bacon. | Toasted almonds add a special erispness and delightful crunch to this casserole. For an extra flavor and protein boost, add one of the many convenient forms of almonds to any casserole or meatloaf recipe. VEGETABLE CASSEROLE ALMONDINE Homemakers can keep some vegetables at home a long time without freezing or canning them But they need to be kept at the right temperature and in the right moisture conditions, says Judy Troftgruben, University of Illinois Extension food and nutrition specialist One can store beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, kohlrabie, onions, parsnips, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, rutabagas, turnips and winter radishes under these controlled con­ ditions. Choose only good quality vegetables for storage They will keep one to four months. The temperature needed is about 40 degrees Vahrenheit, and that 's hard to find in many homes, says Troftgruben Usually, one needs a special room-preferably in the nor­ theast or northwest corner of the basement How many of these vegetables a family uses in a winter and how much space is available should determine the size of the room The room should be well insulated and vented to the outside to keep the temperature down and the room relatively humid. If there's enough ventilation, the odors that cabbage, rutabagas and tur­ nips give off won't flavor the other vegetables Vegetable containers should allow air flow, too use covered bins, boxes or other containers that have a few op^fiings for ven­ tilation Pumpkins, onions, and winter squash require cool, dry storage Slatted crates or mesh bags are best for storing onions During the storage months, watch the vegetables closely, Ms Troftgruben recommends If food starts to rot. remove it at once. Use quickly """any vegetables that show signs of shriveling or growth Vegetables will start growing if the room temperature fs too high Shriveling means the room is too dry For information on canning or freezing fruits and vegetables. contact the McHenry county home economics extenf'on advisers.

BIRTHS UNDERSTANDING M E N T A L H E A L T H a health column from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare 1st Your Head to Protect Your Body Any one of us can be raped, because rapists are not par­ ticular about the race, age, sex, or personal appearance of their victims Rapists are not stirred up by passion but by rage and hostility, which is why the Federal Bureau of Investigation lists sexual as­ sault as the number one crime of violence in the Nation Few people have the time or skill to master a martial art, such as karate, for self- protection Guns and knives could be taken away from you and used against you And staying indoors isn't an abso­ lute safeguard, because 35 per­ cent of rapes occur in homes or in apartment buildings The best weapon against rape is psychological prepared­ ness, which relies on common- sense precautions to avoid the trap of sexual assault Some ways that you can "use your head to protect your body" include • Have your key in your hand when you approach the front door of your home Do not enter if a window or door has been forced or broken while you were away Make sure the doors and windows of your home have secure locks, and install a "peephole" in your front door to aid you in identifying all callers Trim bushes and shrubbery which could hide an attacker. If a lone stranger in an elevator makes you feel uneasy, either don't get in, or get off on the next floor Always stand near the control panel within reach of the alarm but­ ton. If you receive obscene or annoying phone calls, hang up immediately. If the calls continue, report them to the police and the telephone company Ask a "wrong number" caller what number he or she is dialing, but do not reveal your name or number Never give out personal information over the phone to any­ one Park in well-lighted and highly visible areas Have your car keys ready be­ fore you leave your home or office Check your back seat for "unwanted passengers" before you get in Travel in groups of two or three, or walk with a dog Stay out of reach of doorways, shrubbery, and other dark peripheral areas. • Always be aware of your children's whereabouts and teach them to be alert and careful. • Don't be afraid to be afraid. Raising a com­ motion in an uneasy sit­ uation can sometimes save your life For further information on sexual assault prevention, con­ tact the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Rape, the National Institute of Mental Health, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 10C-03, Rockville, Md 20857 • • • • Signing notes is a painful process, and sometimes a costly one.
