Be a winner by improving your f< eating habits ? it's easy. c In the last decade more and more people have jumped h on the nutrition band wagon. If you are not sure how to s go about turning some bad habits into good ones, start v small. It will be easier and more manageable if you take it d one step at a time. First, identify the areas where you might need improve- b ment. Eating a better breakfast? Limiting snacks? / Restricting sodium or sugar? Then, whatever you decide f to work on, consult with a physician or registered dieti- e tian before making any sweeping dietary changes. The following recipes reflect some of the ways people are working to improve their nutritional status. The popularity of preparing foreign and ethnic dishes at home becomes evident on a visit to the supermarket. Foreign food sections are expanding and a greater variety of fresh produce from around the world is available to meet consumer demand. One of the most popular cuisines prepared at home is Chinese. Oriental cooking has a double appeal; it is economical and nutritious. A pound of meat and sliced fresh vegetables combine to generously serve four when served over rice in a typical Oriental main dish. To prepare Oriental Garden Stir-Fry, First freeze the { round steak for about 1 hour, to make slicing easier. A ] wok's sloping sides are designed so a small amount of oil < remains in the base. As ingredients are cooked in oil to i the desired degree of doneness, they are pushed up the i sides of the wok, where they keep warm while excess oil from the food drains back down to the base of the wok. i Sliced carrot, green onion, water chestnuts and fresh pea ] pods add color, texture and flavor. < According to Campbell's AMERICAN FOOD ; PREFERENCES Study, today's consumers are looking for products that are fresh and healthy. No where is this more apparent than where salads are concerned. Salad bars are popping up everywhere -- even in fast food restaurants. On the homefront, people are becoming Better Living Fashion: Adapti By JOANNE FALLS Home Economics Extension Agent * Have you ever left a fashion show feeling disappointed because of the high-priced and extreme fashions shown? No doubt this has happened to every fashion conscious person somewhere down the line. Remember that every fashion show, and every fashion magazine, contains something that some low-income people can copy to improve their wardrobes and to update the clothes they already have. Sometimes adaptation to fit your own needs requires imagination and careful wardrobe planning. Many times a scarf or a belt can make or mar an outfit. Costume jewelry can change the look.

I W II Vy I The Chronicle polled area citizens and asked their opinions of prayer in public schools. James Edrington, student at WSSU\ "Everyone should have a little Christianity in their lives. Prayer is definitely needed in the school system because we should be closer to God." Norma Hicks, domestic: "Prayer is something everybody needs. If the kids can't get it at home they could get it at school. I hope they pass the prayer bill, myself." Warren Foster, contractor: "I think prayer in the schools would cut down on a lot of crime and drugs. It really would make the world a better place to live in." Yuri Allen, student at East Forsyth High School'. "I'm for prayer in the schools. A lot of kids go to private schools just so they can get a religious background. People shouldn't be made to pray, but I think you should have a choice." f ) I \ n icle I 'FEA1 TY SHOPP a balanced diet tore adventuresome, not only do they want to eat light, ley also want variety.

By sewing yourself, you can have unique clothes at a fraction of the cost that leading stores charge. In addition Coping Apply the psycl ! By CHARLES FAULKNER Syndicated Cotumnist In my last column, I told you that you can sell any product to anyone at anytime. You need only to learn the proper principles of psychology, that apply astrology or who wear lucky charms around their necks. Rather, they are people who convince clients to buylheir merchandise by saying the right thing at the right time and by doing the right thing at the right time. They are masters of persuasion who have learned and applied the psychology of selling. You can too. One of the major faults of unsuccessful salespeople is that they allow their personal insecurities to become involved in the sales progress. If Ms. Jones refuses to purchase their product, they attempt to sell to Mr. Smith. Li Attr n* / or i f Kir C m i t L o I r /> roT uroc r\ m 1 1/ o o r^i i ro n n r o , ii ith. oiiiiin aisvj ivj inarw a pui^na.x., they connect the experiences and think that something is ' wrong with therwsefves. If two people dislike them they believe that everyone 1 else will dislike them. In simple terms, they begin to think e that something is wrong with themselves rather than with 1 their selling techniques. They think that something is wrong with their product rather than with the person to r whom they are attempting to sell. e Unsuccessful salespeople develop anxiety and begin to h anticipate failure even before they meet the next client. This attitude is wrong. It makes the salesperson a victim ie of his or her own fears and interferes with the presentag tion. The anxious salesperson will soon find selling emon tionally draining and will have very little success with it. To be successful, you must accept each interaction with in clients as separate and unrelated. If you fail to make a sale, forget about it immediately. If you fail to make id several sales, do not take it personally because it probably ;n has nothing to do with you as an individual. Remember, selling is a science. There is no luck in selling.

According to Elise Amour, Folkwear Marketing coordinator, designs start with an intuitive sense of what people want from clothing-energy-efficient clothing that can be layered, for example, or simple clothes with classic lines. She says you can make Folkwear garments with basic sewing knowledge. Many of the classic designs from the past reappear as the latest fashion looks. Designer Ralph Lauren revived the prairie skirt a few years ago, and the dropped-waist style of the 1920's tea frock is a new look for 1984. Yesterday's designs are today's styles. lology of selling apply the correct psychology, you will easily sell your product. When you apply the wrong psychotogyryou will not sell. So, if you are having trouble selling, analyze your technique. Winners are never personally affected by anything that cool and calm throughout our entire interaction regardless of what the client says." Now, master these principles and make the commitments: 1) Confidence. Say aloud repeatedly: "I have the ability to persuade anyone to purchase my product or to like me in spite of any objections that they might have." Never accept no as a final answer. Losers discontinue their efforts to sell at the first indication of rejection. Winners continue to pursue their client and use a variety of nv.vrhnlnoirAl tf?rhinmip<; nntil the rlipnf uvs ves. It might be best to change the subject temporarily or continue your presentation on another day but the client remains eternally a potential sale. After all, people do change their minds. 2) Psychology. Repeat the following statement: 41I will accept any objection, reinterpret it and use it to sell my product." Always be receptive to and positive about any client. If your client says: 441 cannot spare the money at this time to purchase your product," your response should be, "1 certainly understand your thinking on this matter but . your sacrifice to buy at this time will result in saving many dollars in service and value to you in the future because of our superior engineering and equipment." II your client says: "Your product is too expensive," you might say,-''Perhaps our product costs just a bit more than others but our product is immensely supenor to any similar item and you will actually save money in the long run." The bottom line is: Never give up.
