, QUICK KITCHEN TIPS FOR THE ITALIAN COOK
Good Italian cooking starts with great ingredients. Tomato
based sauce just doesn't have an Italian accent unless the
tomatoes are Italy's own. When you're shopping for an
Italian meal, stick with the authentic brands. Every big
supermarket has an "ethnic'' section where you can get
cans of the tiny Italian plum tomatoes that give a sauce
sunny Mediterranean sparkle. American tomatoes are too
watery to give your sauce the body it requires.
Thickening an Italian sauce? Old-country cooks use bread crumbs.
Experiment with flavored Italian-style crumbs. They're made from
crusty Italian loaves, so even the texture is different. And the
herbs will add a subtle spicing.
When you're cooking Italian, the oil should be olive
preferably from Italy. Olive oil flavor varies from place to
place; Italian recipes have been developed to take into
account the distinctive flavor of the local oil.
SPRINGTIME IS MOVIE TIME

arc bicycles to be ridden, roller
skates lo lie tried, baseballs to
fie hit. trees to be climbed, and
marbles to be won. All of this
activity deserves to be pre
served on film in movies.
Movies are easy, as well as
fun, and a few basic hints will
help you to produce memorable
footage as easily as you drop
the film cartridge into your
camera.
Remember, first, that the
subjects should move, not the
camera. When you do want to
follow a skater or runner, pan
slowly and steadily, pivoting
yovJr body without moving your
feet, so that the result will be
smooth, not jerky, when viewed.
For real spontaneity, spring
. time action movies should be
shot as they occur, without a
great deal of direction on your
part. You can save yourself
editing time later, however, if
you keep a rough plan of the
finished movie in mind and try
to shoot accordingly.
If you're ever thinkinjr of

re-seeding may irppeal to you.

length of scenes, bearing in
mind that ideally they should
be from five to fifteen seconds

Try to film scenes in a se

Artificial turf absorbs and re
tains heat to a serious degree.
Natural irrass has it own built
in air conditioning system. It
evaporates water cooling it
self and the air above it. Na
tural grass also refreshes the
air by absorbing impurities
and generating fresh oxygen.
And it absorbs noise—another
form of |Mdlution. Finally, ar
tificial turf does not attract
birds because it doesn't play
host to the smaller forms of
life.
A luxuriously green natural
grass, such as Merion Kentucky
Hluegrass, is a better invest
ment for beautifying anil eco
logical purposes. This tough
turf withstands greater wear
and tear and needs less water.
And from an economical view,
Merion is much less expensive
to plant and maintain than ar
tificial turf.
So if you're thinking about
a new lawn don't fake it.

The Helping Hand?
Major international commercial ventures more and
more require governments to provide financial and
other support. And as governments thus become in
volved they, like the businesses they support, assume
the ethical obligation to stand behind and carry out
their commitments.
Such is the thrust of opposition arguments raised
in Britain over actions early this month by Rolls-Royce
and the British government that could leave the Amer
ican Lockheed Aircraft Corporation high and dry
without the promised Rolls-Royce engines for its
L-1011 Tristar jet airliner the program on which
Lockheed relies to resume a major position as a com
mercial aircraft manufacturer.
The GUARDIAN stated the case strongly in a recent
editorial citing the opposition party's "Main criticism
of the government's action that by allowing Rolls-
Royce to go bankrupt the government has deprived
the Lockheed Company of its right to contractual
damages. As Mr. Wedgwood Benn put it in yesterday's
debate, 'The government has allowed Rolls-Royce to
go bankrupt in such a way as to escape the respon
sibility owing to Lockheed'. Mr. Benn insisted, rightly,
that the government must try hard to restore the
British reputation for honest dealing . .
"Lockheed has been let down badly by Rolls-Royce
acting with the British Government's consent," the
GUARDIAN stated, adding, "The development of ad
vanced technology in any country even a country
as rich as the U.S. is too hazardous and expensive
to be accomplished by private enterprise alone. But
when governments back private enterprise they ought
at least to go on backing them, especially if there is
a bargain to be honoured . .
"It does not help much to say that you are sorry
afterwards, if you have let someone down. 'I was very
distressed that Lockheed was not given more notice
of this calamity,' Mr. Frederick Corfield (Minister of
Aviation Supply) said yesterday. The notice was three
days. Mr. Corfield's distress, however genuine, will
not encourage American industry to buy British
another time."
The TIMES of London added a postscript to the
discussion the next day with the comment:
"The conclusion would seem to be that Rolls-Royce
made a commercial mistake, and a mistake in relating
engineering feasibility to cost.

NEW YORK (ED) —Nothing
can be as annoying; as a win
dow— especially when you're
decorating. It always seems as
if there's a problem. If you've
got a big picture window, it
lets in too much light. Cover
it up and you've lost the view.
And if the window's too small
or too narrow the problem
may well be the reverse.
Today's smart decorators
are solving their window wor
ries with blinds. Not the old
clunky, fat kind ... the blinds
that looked awkward and were
even harder to clean. No, now
there's a new breed of blinds
... skinny, elegant, tapeless ...
that's right, no tapes to hold
dirt.
For the big picture window,
these new Levolor Rivieras
open up to a view while ef
fectively filtering out the light.
Close them and you have pri
vacy. There are dozens of colors
and finishes to choose from ...

What do these men have in common 9 Well, to begin with
they're British sportsmen. The fictitious Mr. Fogg gal

And now David Sandeman, a 40-year-old wine and spirits
merchant (Sandeman ports, sherries, Scotch and Spanish
brandy are well-known throughout the world),, is pursuing
what many call an "impossible dreum". Mr-Sandeman has
set his goal on becoming the first European owner of a
European racehorse to win the Kentucky Derby, America's
classic horse race.
No one has accomplished this in 96 years but Mr. Sande
man says American horses are always coming over and
winning the big races in Europe.
"We'll just have a go at it", he says.
To date, Mr_ Sandeman has tried twice without success.
But the folks in Kentucky better remember his name be
cause he'll keep trying until he wins.
And, now you know why there will "always be an

decorating scheme.
A bothersome window can be
covered with blinds in the same

adorned with a modern paint

for a delicate look.
The problem of adjacent,

in a dramatic fashion. Try a

Home Lighting Tricks the Eye
Every decorator worth his
salt will always tell you
that lighting is one of the
most important —and most
often neglected —aspects
of home decor. Lighting is,
after all, functional as well
as decorative. A proper
blending of lighting prevents
eyestrain, offsets the char
acteristics of your furniture,
sets the mood for your room,
and provides an accent for
decorative focal points.
Direct lighting, the light
ing you get from the normal
table lamp, shines down on
your table and the immediate
surrounding area. It pro
duces sharp contrasts of
light and dark with heavy
shadows.
Indirect lighting is direc
ted towards the ceiling or
wall, and is reflected back
into the room. The source
of light is usually hidden,
but the effect is to bathe

Spot lighting is used to

decorative interest, like
paintings, a tiny alcove,
sculpture, or an important
piece of furniture.
Proper lighting can often
be a tricky business be

the eye by creating optical
illusions. Take your furni

you'll look at it under in

One of the advantages of
