AVOCADO IS SATURDAY'S CHILD } Something plain and whole­ some as fried fish fillets may please your family more than anything else on a busy Satur­ day evening--especially if those fish fillets get served open- faced sandwich style with a bit of unexpected fanfare! Start with slices of crusty French bread slathered with garlic butter and toasted to golden goodness under the broiler. Next, cover each toast slice with a succulent fried fish fillet, bubbling crisp from the oven or fry pan. Tastily dress the fish with a drizzle of bottled tarter sauce; then top each piece with the inimitable goodness of a creamy avocado slice. Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and for extra eye appeal, garnish them with lemon wedges, cherry tomatoes and parsley. If you have an­ other avocado handy, cut it in half crosswise, remove the seed and sprinkle the meat with lemon juice. Wrap one half and store it in the refrigerator to use later on. Fill the other half with tartar sauce and place it in the center of the platter for a different help- yourself-server. To complete the meal, serve the sandwiches with any hot green vegetable--tender sweet peas or baby limas are extra nice. If you have time, take ad­ vantage of the fact that Eve's fruit is in season and prepare a crunchy Waldorf salad (chop­ ped apple, celery and walnuts moistened with mayonnaise). On second thought, you might even top it off with slices of that refrigerated avocado-- oops, that fast-to-fix Saturday night supper has now become a spur of the moment banquet!

Ĥeritage Toundatiori i ^ I FORUM AMNESTY INT'L NAMES COMMUNIST TO MONITOR RIGHTS VIOLATIONS n Foul ncr In Hie war for people's minds that continues to be waged across tn&~~gktbe, what the enemies of freedom don't need is still another platform for their ideological warfare Bad enough that the U.N. now provides the Soviets and their stooges with a legitimate staging area for their dog­ gerel. and that international sports competition is used by the Soviets to promote ideological conflict throughout the world Worse yet are the signals we are getting from London that Amnesty International -- the world's best known and supposedly most impartial watchdog on human rights -- ma) be about to lend itself to the same t>pc of exploitation h\ anti-freedom propagandists According to documents we have obtained from sources in Australia, a well-known and outspoken Australian Com­ munist, Professor Derek Roebuck, is being brought to Am­ nesty International headquarters in London as Head of Re­ search This might not raise an\ eyebrows except that Amnesty International should be expected to conduct its research in an atmosphere free of prejudice -- and to ask a committed Communist functional*) to document human rights viola­ tions behind the Iron Curtain would be as realistic as asking the Pope to denounce Catholicism. The Amnest) International worldwide organization today enjoys the support of people of virtually every politi­ cal persuasion, from left to right In its 16 years of exis-, tence. the organization takes credit tor helping to secure the release of more than 13.(XX) " Prisoners of Conscience" (political prisoners who have never used or advocated the use of violence). Its efforts were rewarded in 1977 with the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet all that would appear to be in jeopardy Maybe this should come as no surprise at all In March of this year. Stephen Miller pointed to the growing politici- zation of Al. Writing in Commentary magazine. Miller noted that "Al's literature tends to exhibit an automatic distrustn>f all rightist governments, and an equally automa­ tic desire to give leftist governments -- with the exception of the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia -- the benefit of the doubt "Thus, in its latest annual report. AI provides a rather low figure for the number of political prisoners in Vietnam -- 200.000 -T- and then quotes without comment from a broadcast by Hanoi Radio which, in effect, justifies the current regime's program of 'reeducation In its rundown on Cuba, to take another example. Al's speculation on the number of political prisoners "borders on jJkwrvasive." Miller writes, while AI goes out of its way to expo.se the harshness of rightist governments. This type of manipulation without the input of a Profes­ sor Roebuck! Amnesty International, for all its high purposes, already, is walking on thin ice when it comes to its credibility around the world With Communist Roebuck in charge of its "re­ search" activities, it could be' the end of AI as a"respectable voice of human freedom around the world -- and that would be a tragedy (Feulner is president of The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research organization ) Please Don't Eat The Mistletoe PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER tt, 1978 &/ DID YOU KNOW? "Please * don't eat the mistletoe." That's the Christmas holiday warning from Edward S. Mika, Ph D., professor of Phar­ macognosy, College of Phar­ macy, University of Illinois at the Medical center, Chicago. The danger of poisoning from plants is especially acute during the holiday season, says Dr. Mika. Most susceptible to this danger are children under 5 years of age and household pets. "Approximately 700 types of plants can cause serious illness or even death/' stated Dr. Mika. Five of the toxic plants- mistletoe. Christmas rose, holly, poinsettia and Japanese yew-are commonly used as Christmas decorations. They are safe if handled properly and not eaten. Mistletoe < Phorandenron serotinum >: The white berries of this plant are very toxic and can cause death. After eating them, a person will usually experience acute stomach and intestinal irritation, followed by diarrhea and slow pulse. Christmas Hose < Helleborous niger):_The plant's roots and stems contain a heart simulant that is toxic in high doses. Holly (Ilex spp): The red berries of holly are poisonous. Symptoms of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea and stupor when the berries are eaten in large quantities. Because of their attractive, candy-like appearance, holly berries should be considered especially dangerous to children. Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima): Only one case of child poisoning has been associated with the poinsettia. That case occurred in Hawaii in 1919 after ingestion of only one leaf, but this case cannot be verified. Recent studies in the United States show the absence of side effects when ingested by laboratory animals .However, the poinsettia may cause allergic and severe der- matological reactions in some individuals. Japanese Yew (Taxus baccata) Often used as a landscape plant. Japanese yew occasionally serves as an in­ door decoration during the Christmas season. All parts of the plant, especially the seeds, are highly poisonous to humans and pets if chewed To avoid problems with potentially dangerous plants, certain steps should be taken in advance. Keep all plants out of reach of children or pets! - -Know the common and technical names of all plants both inside and outside the house -If poisonous berries are present, remove them and discard them in a safe place. -If poisoning is suspected, call a physician immediately. Collect a sample of the plant involved. Remember: Don't eat mistletoe. Stand under it! the HOMEWARD BOUND...An Amish horse and bugg), clip-clopping along Lancaster County.
