melange of snow peas, fresh mushrooms, red pepper
strips and unsalted cashews are quickly stir-fried until
vegetables are tender-crisp. A can of condensed chicken
noodle soup mixed with cornstarch is added to
vegetables; sesani oil gives extra flavor to the dish. An attractive
contrast in tastes, texture and colors, the side
dish needs only some cheese and bread to become a
nutritious main course.
Pasta, is-more than speghetti and macaroni. Today, an
almost infinite number of different shapes and varieties
are commonplace on supermarket shelves. Homemade
-pasta Is-also growing in1 popularity.-A highly versatile
food, this complex carbohydrate is delicious in a cold
salad. Calico Tortellini Salad combines canned condensed
vegetarian vegetable soup with red wine vinegar, olive
oil, minced garlic and herbs as an intriguing dressing for
cooked tortellini. Mixed with cubes of dry salami, Cheddar
cheese and slice ripe olives, the hearty, colorful salad
is a perfect lunch or dinner dish, served with crusty
Italian bread and topped off with a fruit dessert!
Back in 1934, hamburger Steaks with Mushroom Sauce
was considered a classic, satisfying and economical dish.
Sweet and Sour Turkey Patties is the updated version,
with the ground beef replaced by lean ground turkey. The
turkey patties are a traditional mixture of bread crumbs,
chopped onions and a beaten egg. After browning, a piquant
sauce made with canned condensed cream of
mushroom soup spiced with apple jelly and raspberryflavored
vinegar is added, then the dish is simmered for
about 20 minutes. Served with rice and a green salad,
these patties are every bit as appealing as their
antecedents -- and considerably lower in fats.

By JOANNE FALLS

Federal government scientists have released some important
information that all families should seriously
consider when shopping for food and planning and
preparing meals.
These scientists said that a 10-year study of nearly
4,000 men at 12 major medical
centers has furnished

can help prevent heart attacks. The
study cost Si50 million and was ?9
financed by the federal government's
Heart Institute.
A Washington Post story by Victor _
Cohn points out these important facts
concerning cholesterol that will soon Falls
be distributed and explained throughout the country during
a nationwide cholesterol education campaign.
As a result of the National Institute of Health's coronary
primary prevention trial:
1. The American Heart Association is urging young
and old to shun solid fats, shun cholesterol rich foods
and live longer. Following this advice means that some

ly who push you and keep you motivated. Most successful
people, however, get up off their rear ends and
follow their plan through snow, rain, sadness or sunreme
difficulty. Nothing stops them. Problems are seen as
challenges that test their capabilites and help them
develop the skills to cope.
Weak people and failures constantly complain, wait
for someone to take them by the hand and lead them to
the Promised Land, blame other people for their present
condition, wallow in self-pity and resign themselves to
failure.
You will be strong and self-motivated. You will succeed
inspite of difficulties. You will accept sole responsibility
for your life. Let's not waste anymore time. Let's
bring the success of tomorrow closer by what we do today.
Step one: Prepare your plan in writing and in detail.

Step two: Apply each item in the first paragraph of this
cotumir to your professional goals, your family goals,
your edueational goals, your helth goals, your financial
goals and, if you wish, your spiritual goals. You must
have a separate plan for achieving each goal. Step three:

2. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute is telling
people to see a doctor and get their blood cholesterol
measured, and to move toward the prudent diet if it is too
high.
3. Meat and di try indurstries are informing people that
they sell low fat products.
Scientists say "cholesterol is a thick waxy substance
made in the body itself. It is part of the structural
material of blood cells It is also one of the constituents
of bile which the liver makes to break up fats." The
scientists further stated that "when we eat too much of
some kinds of fats or too much cholesterol in our food
the body's cholesterol-making apparatus goes out of control
and starts pouring out too much cholesterol which
builds up on artery walls and gradually chokes off the
blood flow to the heart. The result is heart disease."
Dr. Basil Rifkind, the National Heart Institute's study
director, says of the kind of prudent diet that seems to
make sense is "not a really restrictive diet. It just says put
more emphasis on vegetable fats and less on animal fats.
It docs not say "Make yourself hungry."
