Sfron1 by Gerry Johnson Jogging Cookbook Author, 72, Advocates Exercise To Stay Healthy Bill banners, of Nor- walk, Connecticut, is a won­ derful endorsement of the benefits of exercise for old­ er persons. And, Manners would probably add, the benefits of a vegetarian diet. At 72, Manners runs nine miles every morning before breakfast and still competes in marathon races. In a recent marathon in White Plains, N.Y., Man. ners won a gold medal in his age category. "I've always been physi­ cally active," Manners told a writer from The National Council on the Aging, "but far too many older people lead sedentary lives. They've accepted the myth that strenuous exercise is no longer possible when they reach 40 or 50. This atti­ tude should change." The son of a rabbi, Man­ ners grew up in Zanesville, Ohio. When he was in high school he started boxing, eventually turning profes­ sional. His career lasted four or five years and in­ cluded 52 bouts fought mosti£ in Ohio and In- mers later attended Jniversity of Cincinnati e he studied to be a was the story of his father and the early years in Za­ nesville. "I've also written two biographies," Manners said. "One is about New York Mayor LaGuardia and the other is a dual biography of William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt called "TR and Will." Cooking is another im­ portant part of Manners' life, especially the prepara- tion of the vegetarian dishes *:? he advocates. „/ % "I've been a vegetariap :£ since I was 16," Manners said. "That goes^back to before it was popular." Bill Manners lives right next door to his brother Da­ vid and sister-in-law Ruth Xnn. Over the years, she compiled a folder of meat­ less recipes she cooked for Bill when he was a dinner guest. The folder became the nucleus for the "The Quick and Easy Vegetarian found myself becom- lore interested in spir- itWftthings instead of physi­ cal Things," Manners said. "Years later, I realized that being a rabbi was not for me--it didn't suit my per­ sonality, so I started writ- Initially, Manners wrote for magazines and then be­ came an editor. In 1947 he wrote the first of more than 20 books he has to his credit. It was entitled "Fa­ ther and the Angels," and - Cookbook," co-authored by Bill and Ruth and published in 1978.

"We tried to tell non-vegetarians how to cut down on the amount of meat they eat for financial as well as health reasons." The book contains over 200 recipes focusing on vegetables, grains and other vegetable and fruit groups. "A meatless diet'is espe­ cially appealing to older persons on a fixed income," Manners said. "By eliminat­ ing, or cutting down, the amount of meat in their diet, they could save a con­ siderable amount of money on food bills. In fact, with food prices the way they are, cutting back on meat would be a good thing for people of all ages." BIRTHS Pete and Betty Weber, 3009 W.

Look To Your Drycleaner For Help Spruce-up sessions around the old homestead come at any time in, modern days. No longer a spring thing, down-to-the-bare bones cleaning can be prompted by an impending visit from a mother-in-law, a week with no other obligations, a plate of spaghetti hitting the diningroom floor or a sud­ den surge of energy. Why not delegate some of the cleaning to a profes­ sional who is prepared to handle bulky it^ms, delicate items or items that you may not know how to restore? As you take stock of what is to be done during the cleaning session, make a list of what you can send out to be readied for a sparkling clean home. The International Fabri- care Institute (IFI), the global association of laun- derers and drycleaners, would like you to consider these fabric facts as you plan your cleaning itinerary: Some materials used in home furnishings are deceiv- ably fragile. Your dry- cleaner will recognize them and you should too before you try home remedies. Haitian or Indian cottons, for instance, are fabrics characterized by twisted yarns that give the appear­ ance of hand-woven fabric; but they absorb dirt and stains, tear and are suscepti­ ble tp large-scale shrinking^ PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY », 1IM chairs or sofas neod profes­ sional attention, best you call in an upholstery cleaner. v Draperies are a decorator's dream. Your draperies, probably sone of the most attractive aspects of your home decor, deserve fre­ quent attention--a vacuum­ ing with the brush attach­ ment, a tumble in your dryer, a cool evening hang­ ing on the line--and an occasional beauty session with your drycleaner. For the most successful cleaning results, advise your cleaner of the fiber content. and fraying. Indian cottons are often found in bed­ spreads, throws and decora­ tor pillows. An IFI member will test these fabrics before cleaning to determine the best method. Bed pillows deserve a night out. Your cleaning session should include pro­ fessional restoration of pil­ lows in addition to occa­ sional airing out on the clothesline. Periodic special attention will add. years to the lives of down-, blended feather- or synthetically- filled pillows. Don't be fooled by the zippers on your sofa. Uphol­ stery fabrics are not de­ signed to be cleaned sepa­ rately. Closures are solely for the furniture manufacturer's convenience when assem­ bling the product. Some upholstery is not made to be drycleaned at all! If you remove and send covers off to your dry­ cleaner, those portions, with the dirt removed, may no longer match the fabric that is not removable. If your In a quandary over your quilts? Unless you want to spend a weekend over the washtub, call in your cleaner for your quilts. Ad­ vise him of the fillings so he can tailor the cleaning method td the materials and return a bright, fresh room accessory. Between cleanings--hang your quilts in the fresh air. Are you ready now for your bucket and scrub brush? HOSPITAL NOTES | WOODSTOCK Admissions: Charles Macey and Mark Laskowski, both of McHenry and Mrs. Kitty Bartlett, of Wonder Lake.
