The poet, T. S. Eliot wrote that April was the cruelest
month. $ls we struggle with our income tax returns, few
would disagree. And if that's not enough of a bite, the effects
of an extremely harsh winter are showing up at the
supermarket in the form of higher prices. Together, they
make for a devastating pinch on the food budget.
Fortunately, a good tasting, nutritious dish doesn't
have to be expensive. Complex carbohydrates such as
vegetables, pasta and breads are still good buys and when
combined with small amounts of higher priced meats or
fish, and can add up to delicious, nourishing meals. Here
are three examples of such imaginative main dishes, each
costing less than $1.15 a serving.
Few foods are as satisfying as a gooey pizza and
Cheesy Clam Pizza is an innovative variation on this
popular dish. Roll out the bread or pizza dough in a circle
or rectangle, whichever shape you prefer. The sauce is
made with liquid from a can of clams, minced garlic and
a can of condensed cream of celery soup. Spread the
flavorful mixture over the pizza dough, sprinkle with
clams, shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese,
and chopped parsley, then bake. Ready to eat in about 25
minutes, the pizza accompanied by a three bean salad
makes an attractive and filling meal.
Bagels Benedict are inventive and uncommonly good
tasting. A piquant sauce made with a can of condensed
cream of chicken soup, cooked diced chicken and sauteed
chopped green and red peppers flavored with garlic,
sherry and thyme, is spooned over the split bagels. Topped
with a poached egg and sprinkled with freshly ground
pepper, this easv-to-fix dish is perfect for lunch or
brunch.
For economical, tasty dishes, pasta is without peer. To
illustrate, this Beefy Pasta Casserole stretches one pound
of ground beef into five ample servings. After browning
the meat, a can of condensed golden mushroom soup is
added and combined with a mixture of ricotta cheese,
chopped parsley and a beaten egg, and tossed with cooked
spinach fettucini. Spoon half the meat mixture in a

Teaching children how to properly care for their
clothes can help them become interested in learning basic
sewing skills such as repairing ripped seams, hemming
their dresses and pants, fixing torn sleeves and sewing on
buttons. It is very important for both boys and girls to
learn how to sew.
Begin arousing your child's sewing interest by having
him or her accompany you to the store to select apron
fabric and then teach girls and boys to make simple
aprons by hand.
Encourage the boy to make a chef's apron and hat.
Take him to visit a tailor shop and show him pictures of
chefs.
If you do not already own a sewing machine, discuss
buying a sewing machine as a gift for your child. Do not

surprise your child with a sewing machine because you
might waste your time and money. If your child has
already been inspired to sew, buying a sewing machine
can build the foundation for a lifelong
sewing interest.
A good choice for a beginner is a I
machine with a limited amount of
stitches. A straight stitch, a zigzag
stitch and a blind hemmer will meet 991
all the new sewer's needs. A slow gear
keeps the machine stitching under
control even if the operator accidentally
presses on the foot control.

If the other members of the family
will be using the machine, you might want to select a
machine with more features.

Whatever sewing machine you select, the intended

I Some companies sell good used machines that will cut

Before teaching your child to sew, ask yourself these
questions:
Is my child ready to sew?
Does my child possess the motor skills and hand-eye
coordination to thread a needle, knot a thread, pin a pattern,
cut fabric, or sew a reasonably straight seem on a
sewing machine?

Barbara Schach, a University of Nevada graduate with

is ready and given the proper setting, equipment, fabric,
pattern choices and instructions they can acquire skills
for sewing. These teachers think that children will enjoy
creating something by hand. They suggest that children
can learn to sew from ages seven to 11.
A children's sewing class of five to six students is ideal.
Each child should have adequate space to lay out, cut out
and sew on their project. Schach and Capps suggest that
you gather the following eauipment to start vour child on
a good sewing project:
1) Box to hold supplies
2) One pair of sharp scissors
3) Sewing needles with large heads for easy threading
4) Pina
5) A thimble to fit the middle finger
Mastering the art
behavior manipulation. We may not be masters of it but
we use it everyday of our lives.
Following are some basic techniques that you can begin
today to perfect. Practice them until they become a part
of you. Practice them until you learn them by heart.
1) Join the Team. This is your commitment. Repeat it
over and over and over. "I will adopt an attitude of
friendship and teamwork with my client." At all costs,
avoid competing with the other person. Most people view
salespeople^asiadvetsarifs with^whom they muu become
engaged in bailie. The client can.easii>L-win_lhe-hatile by
to. ptt*cha$e-your pttxktct. Thu&i yGU must fir.d-a??point
of common ground. This can be attained by your
finding out as much as you can about your client. Then,
at your first meeting, exhuberantly say, "I was excited to
find that we belong to the same club." Some salespeople
stretch the truth. The choice is yours.
2) Elicit Agreement. "When the client agrees with even
a small thing that I say, even if it is about the weather, it
will become easier and easier for him to agree with me
about other things." Tell the person something (not
about your product, initially) that is non-controversial
and to which he will readily agree. Start off the interaction
on a positive note. This constitutes a breakthrough
and the client will find it exceedingly easier to agree with
you when you begin to discuss your product. Occassionally,
prospects are so impressed with the salesperson
that they will ask about the product and initiate the sales
pitch themselves. Don't despair. Stick to the script.
3) The lead. "The decision to purchase my product will
be made by me for the client." Most people do not want
to be presented with the stressful problem of determining
whether or not to purchase a product. Your help with the
decision will be appreciated. You might say: "When you
receive the merchandise, you will be overwhelmed with its
usefulness." Or, "I can arrange to deliver the product
any time that you wish." Or, "Your friends will certainly
compliment you for owning this marvelous item." Speak
as if the item belongs to the client, as if the decision has
already been made. Make the client associate himself
with the item. Let the client know how the purchase of
your product will make friends for him.
