Mrs. Cunat. the wife of Brian Cunat of McHenry, has proved herself to be an outstanding Beta Sigma Phi in the year since her pledging to the sorority. She worked tirelessly on the chapter's major service project of the year, the FISH Friendship Luncheon. She also has helped to make this year one of the most social and fun- filled years in the history of the chapter by her wholehearted efforts as Social committee chairperson. In all aspects of sorority life she has always been willing to take on any job and every project undertaken is done so with enthusiasm and good humor. Pi Alpha chapter is proud to have her as one of its sisters and happy to have had the opportunity to show appreciation for her efforts by bestowing on her the coveted title of 1962-83 Valentine's Queen.

We will need help with food donations, packing of baskets, drivers, and we will need men, women and strong high school boys. Boxes will be packed and delivered on the Sunday before Easter. If you can help, please keep this date in mind. Keeping our pantry shelves stocked is our biggest problem. The food goes out as fast as it comes in. We receive at least one request for food a day, and these requests are from people in dire need of emergency help. The Methodist church, St. Mary's. St. Patrick's, and Resurrection center faithfully donate food once a month. So does Edgebrook school. These donations come in the first two weeks of each month It would help FISH so much if other churches and other organizations would take up similar collections during the third and fourth weeks of each month. It is during this time FISH is so afraid of having to turn hungry families away. FISH has maintained its pantry for many years,'but we have never known such demands upon it-. We are all so grateful for this mild winter - otherwise, the suffering would be so much greater. We have a need for girls clothing size 14 and size 8. If you can help, bring the clothes to the pantry and Sheila Grant will see they get to this family. FISH is very grateful that several people offered to join our tran­ sportation service as drivers. iOthough we have a list <rf volunteer drivers, it is often very difficult to find one who is free at the time of our need. We would be very pleased if we c xild find even more drivers to take people to the doctor, dentist, hospital, and grocery shopping. Most of our requests few transportation come from the elderly or patients For answers to any questions as to how vou can help, phone FISH at 383- 0258.

HOMEMAKER HINTS Many families these days have at least one member who must adhere to a special diet, be it low sodium, low cholesterol, sugar-free or some other restriction. This can pose extra problems for the family cook, preparing separate dishes aside from regular meals. Such special diets can become as simple as everyday meals if you prepare the foods in quantity ahead of time. More and more people are freezing their own complete dinners, to be heated up in just minutes. Vacuum seal-a-meal bags close with the touch of a finger and the vacuum action protects freshness, locking out flavor- stealing air and vapors. It's a good idea to set aside a specific section of your freezer for "special" diet meals. This eliminates last minute searching. Freezer ex­ perts also advise labeling packages as to contents and date.
