SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 16 Portability and new variety for your backyard barbecue! We've become a portable population.We take TV sets to the beach and keep mo­ bile living rooms in our driveways. From typewriters to tele­ phones and hair dryers to dictating machines, modern technology permits us to carry comfort and conveni­ ence everywhere. Cooking renter on wheels One of the most delightful developments in portability has taken place right in our own backyards with the de­ velopment of the portable outdoor grill. Grill manu­ facturers offer the backyard chef a full service cooking center on wheels. The outdoor barbecue has become a movable feast as the lightweight units can be wheeled across the yard when the wind shifts or down the street for a neighbor­ hood get together. Flexibility in menu, too! With flexibility in move­ ment has come flexibility in menu. What was once the domain of the hamburger and hot dog has become the haven for a rack of lamb or a roast duck. Dual burners with sepa­ rate heat controls, and a host of other accessories offer the outdoor cook the option of WEDNESDAY.

Fun boxes for boxed-in! As every kid knows, some summer days can be a drag! There are those 1-o-o-n-g, cooped-up rainy afternoons, or those hangdog days of waiting for something -- anything! -- to happen. And as every parent knows, this is wall-climbing time. But there's one way to break the boredom: in­ stigate a little creative play. Bring out scissors and glue, colored paper, paint, and assorted bits and pieces. And when the child asks, "What shall I make?," you come up with a dynamite idea: "Make a box-scene." The idea of creating a miniature world in a box is fascinating to grown-up art­ ists and youngsters alike. American artist Joseph Cor­ nell is famous for his mys­ terious boxes with their ar­ rangements of old maps and playing cards, dolls, and other discarded treasures. For small fry, too, a box is a good place in which to build a dream world. In fact, "box-scenes" won the two top prizes in Elmer's National Glue-Craft Con­ test last year. A diorama of Washington crossing the Delaware won first prize for 8-year-old Paul Miller of Miami, Florida. In a deep box, he built up a snowy landscape with papier machl (newspaper strips soaked in glue), then glued in twigs for trees, cotton for clouds, a broken mirror for the icy river and a boatload of toy soldiers. Amy Schwendimann, 10, of Richardson, Texas turned a cigar box into Betsy Ross' cottage, with popsicle sticks for "log" walls, fabric and wallpaper scraps, furniture and clothespin people. With a grocery carton or other reasonably sturdy box, plus trusty Elmer's Glue-All, almost anything is possible. Your youngsters might cre­ ate a fantastic planet with craters of sand and a foil spaceship ... or make a jungle with real greenery and animals cut from maga­ zines and glued to card­ board. The box could even be a theatre for puppets! Once they start, the youngsters will know exact­ ly how to turn that box into a three-dimensional world where the imagination can play. And they may get so absorbed you can't get them out of the house! IPERFECT FORI MOTHERS M! H *251 COOKS TO THE EXACT DEGREE AUTOMATICALLY! • Cooks by temperature or time with this sensing probe.
