I sfiSS?, V PAGE 3 - PLA1NDE Casseroles *Round The World by Gerry Johnson Retired Pharmacist Now A Teacher Benjamin Schultz, a retired pharmacist from Oakhurst, N.J., is so modest about his many accomplishments that he won't even tell his exact age (somewhere over 70). A native of New York City, Schultz graduated cum laude from the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy in 1931. The follow­ ing year he went into business with his brother and the two of them ran pharmacies until 1972, when they sold them and went into retirement. Retirement for Benjamin Schultz didn't mean taking a seat in the proverbial rocking chair, however. It meant de­ voting more of his time to help­ ing others--something he'd al­ ready started while still an ac­ tive pharmacist. Included on the list of Schultz's credits is the devel­ opment of poison control cen­ ters in Monmouth, N.J., a term as president of the N.J. Phar­ maceutical Association and establishment of the Mon­ mouth County Board,-6f Drug Abuse Services. f • But what Schultz is most in­ volved in is "Projeat Spirit," which is a group of retired pharmacists dedicated to help­ ing older persons learn about the proper use o»f medication. "When yoil consider that people 60 and over use two and a half times as much me­ dication as the rest of the pop­ ulation, there are bound to be problems," Schultz told a writ­ er from The National Council on the Aging. "Did you real­ ize that over 70 percent of older persons get their medica­ tion from several doctors with­ out the doctors knowing that their patients are doing this?" Schultz feels that the best use of medicines for an older person depends on three per­ sons--the doctor, pharmacist and the older person. "The older patient, because of his or her use of so many medicines, should be vitally concerned that they are pre­ scribed and used correctly," Schultz said. "The patient has a right to know about side ef­ fects, generic substitutions, avoidance of certain combina­ tions of food and drugs and other, things involving medica­ tion. If the doctor doesn't tell them, they should ask." This sort of education is what Project Spirit accom­ plishes by sending its mem­ bers to senior centers, nutri­ tion sites and other places where older persons are likely to congregate. There is another side to Project Spirit of which its members are equally proud. Last year, a Monmouth Coun­ ty pharmacist had a heart at­ tack. He owned a pharmacy in a community where the major­ ity of residents were older per­ sons. "We put out a call for re­ tired and semi-retired pharma­ cists to keep the pharmacy open," Schultz said. "The hours were shortened, but reg­ ular customers were still able to get their prescriptions filled. Being able to do that sort of thing makes it all worthwhile, don't you think?" CONTRARY TO popular opinion, older people are not the loneliest group in the world. According to a Univer­ sity of Nebraska study, they rank sixth. College students rank first, followed by divorced people, single mothers, rural students and housewives. Have you ever wondered how the word casserole became synonymous with one - dish meals? Casserole actually means a cooking vessel of French origin, designed to cook meat, fish, game and poultry slowly over a long period of time. It is a universal method of cooking and one of the oldest means of food preparation. Throughout the centuries casseroles have been constructed of brick, clay, tempered glass, metal and earthenware. The increasing popularity of one- dish meals in the United States in recent years has generated casseroles, of all shapes, sizes and colors. The casserole has now evolved to symbolize a convenient, fast, nutritious dish that needs little watching and is easy to serve. Casseroles should be planned with bright contrasts of color and be just plain good to eat. Souper Meatball Casserole is exactly that-- a super, colorful blend of seasoned meatballs, cream of mushroom soup and multi-colored mixed vegetables which come frozen in a flavor­ ful butter sauce. A layer of zesty shredded cheddar cheese tops the meatball - vegetable mixture in this delicious dish that's loaded with homespun good eating. \ SOUPER MEATBALL CASSEROLE 1 pound ground beef Vi cup dry bread crumbs Vi cup milk 1 egg '/* cup chopped onion 1 teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon pepper 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt 1 tablespoon butter (omit for microwave prepara­ tion) 1 10!/2-oz. can condensed cream of mushroom soup 2 10 oz. packages mixed vegetables frozen in but­ ter sauce Wi cups shredded Cheddar cheese Cook vegetables according to package directions.
