Entertain with a
Is it possible to suitably entertain company, and still i
sefKe a menu that is tailored to a low salt diet? Some of
the finest restaurants in the country are doing it, in- \
eluding New York's Four Season's Restaurant. They're
offering high caliber cuisine with less cream, butter and
salt, primarily because of this country's increased health i
awareness and the sneeifie rlietarv n#??vR r*f iwiQin
customers.
If they can do it, so can you! It is possible to take
classic continental and American ethnic dishes and
deliciously adapt them using less salt. Some tips are to
cook with wine...use less cream and cream based
dishes...and call on piquant ingredients such as spices or
lemon juice as salt substitutes. Here are three recipes
developed with entertaining and low sodium in mind.
One menu for four might revolve around Marinated
Chicken Kabobs that take only 10 minutes to broil. The
key here is to permeate the chicken cubes before cooking
with a marinade of dry sherry, fresh garlic and ginger,
combined with a carefully blended low sodium ready to
serve French onion soup. Not only does the marinade
flavor the chicken, but the remaining marinade along
with reserved juices from the pineapple cubes serves as
the cooking liquid for the accompanying rice. The recipe
registers a low 93 mg. sodium per serving.
A Rolled Sole Florentine might normally be engulfed
in a heavy cream sauce. A lighter version, and one low in
sodium is built upon new low sodium ready to serve
cream of mushroom soup. First a filling is made with
sauteed spinach and garlic, a portion of the soup, fresh
bread crumbs and grated lemon rind. Each flounder fillet^
is rolled in jelly-roll fashion around the spinach filling
and then topped with a sauce of the remaining soup,
lemon juice and onion powder. Ready to serve low
sodium soups make sauce preparation easy and delicious.

These are some possible income tax deductions that
you may want to ask your tax preparer to check before
sending in your income tax this year:
1. Did you make a personal loan that you later found
you had now way of collecting? Do you have proof or
papers to show that you are telling the truth? If so, you
might be able to list it as a short-term capital loss on
Form 1040.
2. Did you know that it is possible for you to list the

The Chronicle polled area citizens and asked if they
think sex education in the public school system promotes
promiscuity and teen-age pregnancies.
Teresa Moyer, secretary at N.C. Baptist Hospital'.
"No. I think the more kids learn about sex, the more it
helps them in learning how to wait for the right person."
Danny Womack, employee at Martin Luther King
Recreation: "No. When kids learn about sex at school,
they learn what to do and what not to do, as well as the
after-effects of having to support a child if they get pregnant."
Art Kinzel, minister. "No. I think it would be stupid if
they didn't teach sex education in the schools. It's better
to know about something rather than be ignorant. The
only question I have is wh6n do you start teaching it?"
Willie Bos tic, retired: "No. They should teach sex
education. I have four daughters and we teach them
about sex. If you get pregnant and know about the consequences
before you take the chance, then that's your own
fault."
Princella Barr, employee at Arby's restaurant: "No, I

Carolyn Taylor, housewife-. "What they teach in
schools is not rehlly sex education. What they do need to
teach them is how to deal with the pressure. I don't think
they're telling the kids you have to love someone first."
Anthony James, custodian: "Yes, 1 think that sex
education in school tells the kids that it's all right to have
sex. There's enough sex on television now and 1 don't
want the teachers telling my daughter about it."
William Bright, math and health teacher at
Kernersville Junior High School: "No, I teach it myself
and 1 think when children are made aware of sex scientifically,

they have a better means of controlling themselves."
