AUG.. 14, 1968 - PLAFNDEALER - PG. 13 Go to Teen Barbecue Comes teen partytime at your house, and the junior host or hostess is very likely to suggest the all-time favorite hamburger as the menu feature. And with good reason. What is more appetizing than the scent of beef grilling over a charcoal fife, or the sight of thick, juicy burgers on crisp toasted buns? The hamburger has almost limitless flavor possibilities, however, depending on the skillful use of basting sauce or an interesting, garnish. When your teen chefs start making up party lists, suggest these ravewinning Pizzaburgers, as the menu feature. Providing the flavor difference in these tender, juicy burgers are special Italian type seasonings and a surprise topping of sliced zucchini and Mozzarella cheese. Give the burgers an extra measure of flavor and moistness with canned condensed tomato soup used both as an ingredient and as a §kuce to spoon over the patties. Double rich, double thick, expertly seasoned condensed tomato soup so good as is, and for so many cooking uses, is a real boon to the outdoor chef. Keep plenty on hand all season long, to help you create both indoor and outdoor masterpieces of good eating. Round out the menu with a tray of crisp vegetable relishes and a piquant dip, ice-cold beverages, and fruit and cookies for dessert.

In a speech before the 11th annual Illinois Editors* Traffic Safety seminar, Sponsored by the Chicago Motor club, GM's assistant director of automotive safety engineering, Thomas Fisher, said that if car occupants would position themselves in advance of a collision that couldn't be avoided, they'd reduce their chances of sustaining ser i us injury by as much as 80 percent. Anyone who has traveled on a U.S. airline in the past few years knows that passengers are given detailed instructions on what to do if a crash is anticipated. These instructions are either given by the stewardesses before each fl^hi jr are printed on a card found in the "Goody pouch' on the back of the seat in front of each passenger. In his speech. Fisher said that drivers can protect themselves by taking a firm grip on the upper portion of the steering wheel and moving their bodies forward against the wheel. Other safety authorities say the same thing, but add that the driver should also rest his forehead against his hands ( which are on the wheel) a split second before the crash. Fisher recommends that the front-seat passengers fold their arms in front of their faces and lean against the top of the dashboard. Most authorities also recommend that front - seat passengers extend their legs so that knees are together and slightly flexed, and that muscles be kept as loose as possible. Back-seat passengers should assume a similar position, using the top of the front-seat backrest to lean against. If a passenger is alone in the back seat, an alternative position is to lie face down on the floor, covering the head with the forearms and stay loose. Fisher's remarks assumed that drivers and passengers alike would be using lap belts. If wearing one of the new shoulder belts, a front seat passenger should lean forward against it, instead of the dashboard. * KNOWING S»N< ^ Most of us are able to-recognize a serious "sin" when we see or hear about one being committed. Like murder. Or grand theft. That sort of stuff. A sin is committed when someone does something he or she should not do. How simple it sounds. Perhaps many of us make too much of the fact that most of the Ten Commandments begin with "Thou Shalt Not." We tend to look upon the Commandments as a series of negatives-- the "don'ts," so to speak. $ We should not forget what Jesus responded when asked to give the greatest Commandment In the law: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." Nothing could be more positive. We know that Jesus meant a true love, love that would shun sin and evil in all its forms and disguises. "With all thy heart" can never., mean partly; it means without reservation. If we love God, we will do more than avoid the outward sin. We will learn to live a life of goodness. With love it is not merely possible; it is more likely probable. FLAGSTONE • Fine Quality • Low Prices 31 Q60 Call for delivered prices FOX RIVER STONE CO.
