Consumer News Front Iron Is Cast In A New Role It mav sometimes appear as if we live in a plastic world. However industry still relies heavily on iron and steel. While gold and platinum are among the world's most precious metals, iron and steel are probably the cheapest and most useful. Although iron is known to have been used for centuries an iron chariot wheel rim found in England is believed to date back 2,000 years- re searchers are finding new uses for the" metal. The United ' States, with more than 200 steel compan ies in 37 states, produces more than 20 per cent of the world's total steel output. Industry frequently turns to iron when strength, dur ability, and corrosion resis tance are needed. Research ers for KitchenAid appliances have developed drain cham bers mac of cast iron for the company's food waste disposers. According to a company spokesman, the practicality of using cast iron for this com ponent has bpen proved in commercial dierisers built by The ' bar lanufacturing Cor - y of Troy, Ohio, also ma. , of KitchenAid dish washers, trash compactors and Hot-water dispensers. In addition to the cast iron drain chamber feature, the new disposers are report ed to offer other user advan tages such as automatic re versing action which doubles the life of 4he cutting edges and enables jams to be elim inated electrically. The com pany offers two batch-feed models operated by a drop-in cover control and two continuous-feed disposers operated This cutaway drawing of a home food waste disposer il- , lustrates the complexity and durable construction of the appliance. The new model, by KitchenAid, includes a rugged cast iron drain chamber, by a wall switch. With the introduction of cast iron drain chambers for household disposers, industry has taken one of the world's strongest and oldest known metals and adapted it to one. of the homemakers most modern conveniences. Consumer mm BncJIfelE hnm Hints For Homebuyers Shopping for a new home? It can be a lot easier if you have some basic guidelines to go by. Since the kitchen is where many homemakers spend most of their time, and is such an important factor in making everyday living easy and enjoyable, the following pointers from the General Electric and Hotpoint Kitch enLaundry Planning Service can help you determine it this all-important room is planned for top efficiency. The layout of the kitchen is one of the most important considerations, so first check the location of major appli ances, the planners suggest. Often' what appears on the surface to be an attractive floor plan is in reality poor utilization of space and equipment. The sequence of work in a kitchen moves from storage to preparation to cook and then to serve. The logical ar rangement then has the re frigerator and its storage areas for foodstuffs near the outside entrance, followed by the sink (or mixing) center, then the cook and serve area located as conveniently to the dining room or breakfast nook as possible. . Studies have shown that more than half of the work done in the kitchen is per formed at the sink. There fore, in the ideal situation, mm sink center is between A refrigerator center end tike cooking center. Without exception, OE kitchen planners agree that each major appliance center must have some working counter available. Under the most desirable conditions, the refrigerator should have a minimum of 15 inches of counter top at the opening side for loading and unload ing, and the range serves best if counter space is avail able on both sides. The sink must have no less than 24 inches of counter on one side to provide the space needed for a dishwasher. Placing unrelated appli ances side by side, such as the refrigerator and oven, is a common planning error which overlooks the need for functional counter space. If there is a built-in oven, the open door of the highest oven should be lower than the user's elbow. Mounting too high can make it diffi cult to remove roasting and baking pans. Also, check the doors of cabinets and appliances to see if they block traffic aisles when open. This is especially important in a corridor-type kitchen arrangement where appliances face each other. The width of the aisle should be a minimum of 42 inches, and preferably 48 inches. A narrow aisle can result in many clumsy, uncomfortable work patterns. If there is a separate din ing room and breakfast area, the ideal location for the kitchen is between the two, as this will eliminate many tiring extra stops. By keeping these hints in mind as you look for a new home, you can more accu rately evaluate which one is best suited for your needs. An Old -Fashioned Dessert Prepared The Modern Way Old-fashioned desserts have a flavor that brings back memories for the over-30 generation! Sadly many youngsters have never known the wonderful aroma of a dessert baking in the oven and the taste of the delicacy when it's set before' a happy family. The 20th Century has produced busy lives, and seldom is time spared for life's little pleasures. But now home econo mists nave devised a modern way of preparing an old-fashioned dessert like Apple Dumplings to fit into busy lifestyles. Apples can be quickly cored and pared when time permits. Pastry can be prepared from a pie crust mix and squares cut to envelop each apple. These steps are made super easy with plastic helpers such as a Tupperware Pastry Sheet which re leases dough without tearing and a rolling pin that makes pastry rolling simple for even a novice. The pastry-covered apples then can be frozen in a convenient Kracker Keeper. Airtight sealed, the dumplings wait in the freezer until the lady of the house decides to slip them into a preheated oven just before dinner on another day. Old-Fashioned Apple Dumplings 2 packages (11 ounce each) pie crust mix 6 medium baking apples (2Vi to 3-inch diameter) peeled and cored cup (packed) brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons soft butter or margarine Prepare pie crust mix as directed on package. Roll out on lightly floured Tupperware Pastry Sheet into a 16 x 24-inch rectangle. Cut into 6 8-inch squares. Place an apple in center of each pastry square. Combine and mix sugars and cinna mon; sprinkle an equal amount of sugar over each apple and into cavities. Top each apple with 1 teaspoon each of lemon juice and soft butter. Moisten edges of pastry. Bring four corners of pastry square together over center of apple; seal edges well. Bake at once as directed below or arrange in Tupperware freezer approved container, seal and freeze. One or two hours before serving time remove dumplings from freezer and arrange in shallow baking pah. Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) until pastry is done and lightly browned and apples are tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve plain or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Makes 6 dumplings, 6 servings. TIPS ON CAR CARE Beware Of Toe-Tickling Vibrations Harvey noticed a thud when he shifted into reverse to back out of hfe driveway, and another thud as he shifted into forward gear to move off. Out on the road more noise than usual seemed to come from under the car. It wasn't ver noticeable. He would have ignored it if he hadn t felt the floor vibrating slightly under his foot as he increased speed. Fortunately he stopped at the first service station to see what was wrong. This prompt attention to his car's warning signal probably saved him the inconvenience of a high way breakdown and more than $100 in repair bills. The thuds and vibra tion were caused by a worn-out universal joint. If he had continued to drive after the vibration appeared, the off-center drive shaft would have ruined the transmission bearing and caused the transmission to lose its fluid. In some cases a vi brating universal joint will also ruin bearings in the differential housing, the bulge on the axle between the rear wheels. Two universal joints provide a flexible connec tion for the drills shaft be tween the transmission, which house e car's main gears, anafevthe rear end. Because they take the constant strain of transferring the engine's power to the wheels, uni versal joints wear. They are the most often replaced part in the; rive line as sembly. B.F.Goodrich car care experts recommend in specting universal joints whenever the car is on the grease rack, and more fre quently after the car has been driven 30,000 miles. A loose universal joint should be replaced immedi ately to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the rest of the drive line assembly.

Randolph and Mrs. Charles T. Wilson. Our total membership now includes a round 400 women. It is be ttered that as more and more women become directly in volved in thek- community and its problems, the more positive thinking and action can take place. The Women-In-Actlon Organization is the vehicel through which women of all community segments can learn about their community and its problems, and can help reduce some of the existing problems that cause tension. Getting to know persons of different backgrounds and races, work ing together on problems is, within itself, positive action not to be under-estimated. In April 1972, Women-In-Action sponsored a Human Re lations Workshop for parents under the leadersnip of Mrs. L. B. Frasier, and Mrs. Edward S. Waadell, serving as Co-Chair man. This workshop was tne first of its kind to be held in Durham City and County. Hie Human Relations Division of the North Carolina Depart ment of Public Instruction co operated by furnishing exper tise and personnel. Over two hundred parents attended, re presenting 33 of the 44 Dur ham City and County Schools. Upon requests additional work siiops for parents sponsored by individual scnools are being planned, and will be scheduled during the year. The Clearinghouse contin ues to be the base of operation for the development and con tinuation of Women-In-Action programs and projects. During the summer, Women-In-Action along with Duke Divinity Schools Interns, developed va rious programs in tne area of recreation. Many children were provided Day Camp scholar ships and gifts of a "T" shirt and a canvas swim suit bag were supplied. In August 1972, the first Fund Raising Campaign was launched within the member ship. Under the leadership of Co-Chairman Mrs. Abe Greens berg and Mrs. Charles D. Watts, we have been able to raise over $2500 to help meet the Women-In-Action austerity budget, but it is a good beginn ing. Women-In-Action Sub-Com mittees continue to serve as th "back-bone" of tne organiza tion; serving as tsk forces and developing and executing mean ingful projects. Two new sub committees have veen added, namely, Health, and Communi ty Corrections. The need for volunteers to work on the va rious sub-committees is a con tinuing one. By BERNARD BAILY Jfcinsn In-Action has tinuing interest in Chapter ex pension, by offering to assist 3th er communities which are interested in starting WIA Chap tan hi their communities. To this end, a Conference for com munity leaders from among the state was held in Durham on January 13, 1973, at which time information was given on "How to Organize a Chapter of Women-In-Action." On the same day, the first Women-In-Action Chapter Conference was held. Raleigh and Wilming ton Chapter members along with members of tne Parent organization attended to dis cuss and explore ways and means of becoming more ef fective in their community and how to "forge ahead toward tne prevention of violence." More than 50 women attended the conference. The need for an annual Chapter Conference was voiced by those who at tended the Conference. It is our plan to follow through to satisfy this request. As we again begin a New Year, we find that violence continues to flourish in our cities. Shootings, muggings, and the rising U.S. murder rate have again pushed the subject of violence, which attributes it to the war in Vietnam, to drug addiction, to racial frus tration and even to the legacy of tiie wild frontier. Problems of the community remain the same. Crime is on the streets, lack of employ ment, poverty, alcoholism, hunger, drug abuse, pollution, racial disturbance, problems of the aged, remain in evidence. With these stubborn pro blems remaining in our midst, Womeu-In-Action rededicates itself to its purpose and policy "to work toward the preven tion of violence by working at the causes of violence" and "to work for the creation of a climate in which all persons can develop to their highest potential."
