Take advantage of the sales and start the summer outdoor broiling season early^Later in the sum­ mer, tender weak cuts that can be grilled outdoors will be in greate? demand and will cost more. It's important to know which steak cuts are best suited for cooking on the outdoor grill. Katharine Neumann, McHenry county Extension adviser, ex­ plains that cuts from the less- used muscles along the back of the animal--the rib and loin sections--will always be more tender than those from the ac­ tive muscles, such as the shoul­ der (chuck), flank and round. Because the most tender cuts are in greatest demand and make up only a small propor­ tion of the beef carcass, they command a higher price than other cuts. Mrs. Neumann offers this quick review of the '^aroil- . ables": v --Tenderloin or filet mignon is the most tender of all steaks. It's boneless, has little fat and is usually sold for a higher price-per-pound than any of the other steaks. Allow 4 to 6 oun- i ces per person. --Porterhouse is often con­ sidered the best steak. It's gen­ erally sold at a higher price than any other bone-in steaks. Most porterhouse steaks will be too large for individual servings, but they have a gen­ erous section of tenderloin that you can remove and serve sep­ arately as filet mignon. Allow 8 to 10 ounces per serving. --T-bone is similar in ap­ pearance to the porterhouse steak, but with a smaller ten­ derloin section. For generous servings, figure on 10 to 12 ounces per person. --Club, cut from the same section as the porterhouse and T-bone, has the same large muscle. However, it has no ten­ derloin. Its relatively small size make the club steak well suited to individual servings. --Strip loin, sold as a bone­ less cut, is a tender, flavor­ ful steak. It contains the large muscle as the porter­ house, T-bone and club steaks. Allow 4 to 6 ounces per ser­ ving. --Sirloin is a large steak, suitable for family or party fare. It contains several dif­ ferent muscles and varies in size, shape and bone size. To get the most meat for your mon­ ey, select a sirloin with a small amount of bone--either the wedge or round shape. But for maximum tenderness, buy a sirloin with a long, flat bone. Sirloins are frequently cut in­ to two boneless steaks--top and bottom. The top portion is the better of the two. Plan on 8 to 10 ounces per person for bone- in sirloins. --Rib is a tender, flavorful steak cut from the rib sec­ tion. It includes the rib bone. When cut two or more ribs thick, it's sold as rib roast. Allow 8 to tip ounces per per­ son. --Rib eye, a boneless steak with little fat, is cut from the eye or large muscle of the beef rib. Like the rib steak, ifs tender and has a well-develop­ ed flavor. Sometimes, it's called a Delmonico steak. Fig­ ure on 4 to 6 ounces per ser­ ving.

ATOMIC ENERGY REPORT Transportation of radio­ active materials must be subjected to continuing scrutiny, the Illinois Com­ mission on Atomic Energy recommended following a survey of the need for their safe transport. The commission especially recommended that regulations and surveillance be provided for truck shipments.

Richard B. Ogilvie. A law proposed by Ogilvie would temporarily suspend driver's license of anyone who, arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, refused to take a breath test. In his letter to Ogilvie, Volpe noted that Illinois traffic fatalities declined nearly 8 per cent from the previous year, recording "one of the largest reductions of any state."
