Lime-Strawberry Crepes: A Dazzling Easter Dessert Spectacular To end Easter dinner on a spectacular note, crown it with a fabulous eye-catching dessert -- Lime-Strawberry Crepes. Delicately thin pancakes, with a touch of brandy flavor, are filled with strawberries and rolled up. Then they are heated in a lime flavored sauce in a crepe pan over Sterno canned heat. Sterno's heat provides just the right flame under the pan to assure proper temperature. It's com pletely safe, odorless and smokeless -- perfect for at- table preparation. When the crepes are heated, the excitement begins. Orange liqueur is sprinkled over them and touched with a lighted match to produce a dramatic flame. It's some thing your guests will surely be impressed with at the table. The flame burns out as you shake the pan.

The survey indicates that 65 per cent of the public believes that the U.S. should be mili tarily stronger than Russia, but only 29 per cent feel that we are. Twenty-six per cent of those polled think we should be equally strong and 30 per cent believe we actually are. One per cent of the Opinion Research Corp. poll says the U.S. should be weaker than Russia, but 27 per cent says we are. Questioned on the Dec. 2 Department of Defense deci sion approving initial produc tion of the B-l strategic bomber, 64 per cent said they agreed with the decision. Eigh teen per cent disagreed and 18 per cent were undecided.

Early Bulb Can Be the First Oil Block With Spring Flowers a week you can place them in a sunny window at normal room temperatures. When buds appear and take on color, move the container out of direct sun light to prolong blooms. By controlling environment you can get bulbs off to an early start for spring planting. You are really simulating the required period of rest that bulbs need over a faster period of time than is normal. You can use almost any kind of container as long as it has a drainage hole at the bottom. Many plant stores will sell bulbs pre-planted in approp riate containers. The container should be at least twice as tall as the bulb to allow for proper root development. Fill the container to within one to three inches of the top with commercial"pbtting soil. If you are planning on transferring them to a garden, you should also add some fertilizer. After watering and patting down the soil, plant bulbs almost within touching distance of each other. Now add more soil until only the bulb's upper tips are visible. Water again and place con tainer in a cold (40° to 50° F) dark place and continue to water when needed. Early flowering bulbs usually require about 12 weeks of this cold conditioning, But if you plant them in mid-winter when they are more fully developed, the required cold time will be less. For instance, paper whites, which bloom faster may need only four weeks of cooling. Once sprouts have grown three or four inches and a healthy root system can be seen through the drainage hole, the bulbs are ready to be moved to a slighter warmer spot (55° to 60° F) that gets indirect sun light.
