NO CHURCH SCHOOL OR CHOIR PRACTICE TIL SEPTEMBER. DIAL A PRAYER 385-1234 THOUGHT FOR FOOD By GOULD CROOK Basic Omalat Omelets are rich in protein, they're economical and they make simple meals for one, two or more. Also, an omelet is a welcome change from the routinely boiled, scrambled, fried or poached egg. Most any eight-inch skillet will do, but one with slanted instead of straight -- up sides works best. 3 large eggs, well beaten 1 tablespoon milk 1/4 teaapoon salt Daah of pepper A generous tableapoon butter or margarine Mix eggs, milk, salt and pep­ per well -- until foamy. Melt the butter in your eight inch skillet, and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the skillet. Heat until it's sizzling, then pour in the eggs. The edges will sorta aet up immediately. As they do, gently lift them with the tines of a fork, tilt your pan and allow the runny center to flow under­ neath to the bottom of the pan. Keep doing this until all liquid has solidified. Give the skillet a shake every once in awhile to keep the omelet loose. Now is when you could add a filling on half the set mixture, if desired, then fold the other half over it. However, give It a minute to warm before sliding on a plate.

Today's Youth BY PATRICK DUDGEON i Avoid Pills There's good news for m$iy young Americans: An organiza­ tion called Pills Anonymous (PA) has been formed. Many young people in this country are actually pill depen­ dent -- habituated to tran­ quilizers, mood elevators, sleep­ ing pills and other drugs. PA has been formed to try and help you break any unnecessary habits without forcing you to give up medications you and your doc­ tor agree you need. The organiza­ tion, PA, has been created by dually addicted members of Alcoholics Anonymous. PA is designed for persons who wouldn't feel comfortable seek­ ing help at a drug abuse center. Members range in age from the teens to the 70's. Their program also encompasses "weekend" pot smokers and coke sniffers. Currently, PA is only available in the New York City area. PA is growing rapidly and hopes to go national within the near future. For more information, write PA, Box 473, Ansonia Station, New York, N.Y. 10023. Got A Light, Doc? A man walked into a psy­ chiatrist's office, broke open a cigarette and stuffed the tobacco up his nose. "Do you want to see me?" the psychiatrist asked. "Yes," said the oddball, "do you have a light?" Weekdays 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday Noon to 5 p.m. Little Lion Land - African Animal Nursery, an exhibit of African Lion Cubs 3 to 15 weeks old and other exotic baby African animals are coming to Lakehurst. The Lion cubs stay with the attraction until they are approximately twelve weeks old and then are sent to the 600 acre Lion Country Safari in Florida where they live their natural lives in freedom with other adult lions. But right now they will be delighting youngsters of all ages at Lakehurst. There is no charge for viewing. It's a "pet paradise!" Bicyclists When you pedal your bicycle into the country, * don't be surprised if you inadvertently invade occupied land and spark a territorial conflict. The road you're on may be territory staked out by a farm dog that does not care for uninvited visitors. Jack Tuttle, University of Illinois Extension small animal veterinarian, says that if you're on a bicycle and a dog charges, be "confident but not com­ petitive." If you threaten the dog or try to outrun it, the dog may enjoy the challenge and continue the chase. Don't react to the dog angrily, Tuttle says, because "the animal senses an angry attitude." So Tuttle's advice is that you first slow down. "If you speed up, the dog may be challenged," he says. "But if you go slow, he may be boftg^l with you." Also, don't look the dog in the eyes because a "stare'down" is a test of superiority. If you stop your bike, keep perfectly still and don't make a sudden move. Dogs may attack bicyclists for reasons other than territorial instinct, Tuttle continues. They may attack because they remember an unpleasant encounter with a bicyclist, for instance, a dog may not forget the time another bicyclist kicked him. Then, as you in­ nocently pedal by, the dog may connect you with the other Versus Farm Dogs bicyclist and seek vengeance. Also, Tuttle says dogs often respond to noises and moving objects. Rural dogs have more ten­ dency to chase passersby than urban dogs, he adds, because they don't have as many dogs to compete with for territory. Rural dogs will have a larger domain that may include the road. Rural dogs also may be more frustrated and competitive as urban sprawl reaches into the country and their territory is threatened. "They've grown accustomed to a vast territory and think that it's necessary to their survival," Tuttle points out. A third factor is confidence. To survive, a rural dog must meet more threats to survival than an urban dog. Thus, it has more confidence to chase an intruder. Theoretically, leash laws cover rural area as well as urban, but Tuttle says they are rarely enforced. He encourages farmers to spend time with their dogs and develop such a relationship that the dogs will obey orders. Then if a bicyclist passes, a farmer can speak to his dog and tell it that there is no threat. "The dog may not un­ derstand the words, but it will understand the attitude," he says. If this doesn't work, Tuttle suggests that the farmer post a warning sign. FUN PLACE...
