1Tradition Calls For 'Nutritious Breakfast American tradition calls for what has long been thought of as a “good, hearty breakfast.” But today, "quick and nutritious” might be' more suitable adjectives. Mornings are usually crammed with activity. Everyone dashes off in dif ferent directions, all at the same time. And, all too often, this morning routine of bedlam includes breakfast on the run, or no breakfast at all. Studies show that in dividuals without breakfast have impaired muscular ability, impaired perception and a low resistance to fatique. Bad breakfast habits concern nutritionists, especially since research clearly indicates the need for a well-balanced morning meal. Nutritionists recommend that about one fourth of the daily food intake, nutrients and calories be eaten at breakfast. One way to be sure you get a wide variety of nutrients is to include food from at least three of the basic four food groups. This doesn’t mean that breakfast has to be overloaded with calories. If you select an egg (meat group), buttered toast (bread and cereal group), and a glass of orange juice (fruit and vegetable group), three food groups are represented. The total caloric content of this meal is less than 300. Add a glass of milk, skim or whole, and the meal includes all four food groups. A breakfast such as this contributes vitamins, minerals, protein, car bohydrate and fat. All these nutrients are necessary and work together to help you meet daily demands and stresses. If conventional breakfast foods don’t turn you on, try sandwiches made with home made bread. Plan do-ahead meals, using quick, convenient breakfast foods. Make breakfast a day ahead or weeks ahead and store the prepared food in the freezer. Then thaw and heat in the oven or toaster for quick breakfasts. For us to turn to God’s great wonders Is a lovely and natural thing .. . - •> • Growing plants in gardens to (lower Their magnificence makes our hearts sing. A mountain is a mammoth marvel; We see it and humility we feel God’s glory is seen everywhere there; This feeling of reverence is real. We look at the river so serene. Its very solitude praises God. The sweet song of birds breaks the silence Seemingly at their Creator’s nod. His wonders are everywhere we look— The intricacy of softest moss . The artistry of a spider’s weh . And those who see not. How Great Their Loss! —Neva Taylor Harrington I so love to explore things all about me. Each walk, or ride, I take is an adventure. Everything has a significence to me. Gardening: I got a great response last week about marigolds in my column. So I will pay tribute to the famous David Burpee who is responsible for the tremen dous progress in marigolds. They used to be thought of as an ordinary flower. Now they verge on the exotic. Really a greater tribute should go to Ellwood Pickering, flower breeder, whose breeding skills have done more than anyone to improve the marigold. Of course, one man could not have accomplished this without the other. Mr. Bur pee’s interest, and Mr. Pickering’s skill. Thanks to both of them for working together to give us such beauty. On the market now because of these two men are giant Carnation-flowered marigolds, giant fluffy ones, giant Chrysanthemum flowered, dwarf and extra dward, signet and petite varieties, and the mediums. It has been Mr. Burpee’s great desire to give to the public a white marigold. Years have Recipe For A Perfect Brunch: California Avocado Salsa Omelet Want to know the secrets for making a perfect omelet? Use eggs that are at room temperature. Beat them with a fork until fluffy. Add one tablespoon of milk or cream per egg. Season with salt and pepper. Use one teaspoon of butter for each egg and melt over low heat in skillet until it sizzles. Pour omelet mixture into skillet. Cook slowly . . . keeping heat low. As the underpan be comes set, start lifting the omelet ever so slightly with a spatula so that the uncooked part will flow underneath. Continue cooking till golden done. Just before folding, add the filling you desire and then serve on a warm platter. One truly sumptious omelet is the California Avocado Salsa Omelet. You'll be sure to get baskets full of compliments on this original recipe which is so simple to prepare: Omelet 6 eggs 6 teaspoons butter 6 tablespoons cream or milk I California Avocado Vi teaspoon salt peeled and diced dash pepper Prepare omelet as directed above then arrange avocado chunks across center of omelet, bold over sides and remove to warm platter. Sauce 4 slices bacon, chopped 1 > teaspoon salt 1 small onion, diced ’/« teaspoon pepper 2 large tomatoes, diced !4 teaspoon chili powder 2 California avocados In medium skillet/cook bacon until almost done; pour off about Vt bacon grease. Add onions, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and chili pow der. Simmer several minutes or until onion is soft. Remove from heat. Peel avocados while simmering 1 reserve slices for garnish): mash remaining avocados and add to sauce. Serve in pitcher or gravy boat so your guests can "pour it on”. Four to five servings. A few happy things about avocados: California avocados are available all year round. They must be used when fully ripe (to test for ripeness, cradle an avocado gently in your hand. Ripe fruit will yield and be soft to the touch.) Ripening can be hur ried by putting fruit in brown paper bag or wrapping them in foil. Or, they can ripen right in your fruit bowl, adding that extra bit of decoration. Avocados have 7 essential vitamins and 5 vital minerals. Only 132 calories in a half. And, avocados have no starch and minimal sugar. passed in this endeavor, and it is thought that this goal will be reached in 1975. Marigold —With Odor planted in flower beds, among roses, among vetegables, etc. keep down nematodes, and discourage rabbits. In fact, many gardeners have reported they keep away many garden pests. Both the dwarf and giants Marigolds serve this purpose. Another salute goes to Mrs. Ralph Paxton, Hannah Ford Road, for the gorgeous marigolds she grew last summer — tall with fluffy beautiful blooms... they were a joy. Orders for seeds should get into the mail soon. It is wise to order things for the garden early so you will not be disappointed that the supply is gone. That goes for bulbs, corms, tubers, roots, shrubs, trees, etc. Everything will be sent at the correct time regardless of time ordered. Might I add: Buy at home what you can — order the rest. Flowers that merit mention are Amaranthus, Summer Poinsettia. Choice for background borders. They have the most brilliant colored foliage immaginable. Varities: “Illumination” is a columnar fountain of foliage that seems to glow from within like a Chinese lantern. It’s Crimson topped with gold. “Flaming Fountain” is a brilliant red. “Aurora” has salmon foliage, varigated with yellow and bronze. “Early Splendor” is a brilliant scarlet. “Mother Fire” is flaming red. Then there are “Tricolors” — perfects, splendous and Candatus that are richly colored. Do plant something dif ferent every year, it adds interest in gardening. So long, gardeners!

Fashion Clolrful Collage From Christmas Cards Don’t throw away those colorful Christmas cards that may still be brightening your mantle this season. They can be used to create eye-catching collages — those snip-and-paste pictures that often surpass paintings. Collage means “pasting" in French, and among the earlier exponents of the art form were Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. No technique is required. You simply cut out things and glue them to a background, preferably a warm color that will enhance your work, and then cover them with a protective coating. Actress Rosemary DeCamp used portions of 500 cards to turn a paneled screen into a series of collages. Because today’s Christmas cards are of good quality paper with bright colors and intricate and appealing designs, they lend themselves to a project such as a collage. When you cut them up and paste them together to ex press a new thought, you are recycling another preson’s creativity while adding your ideas of your own. You Will Smell Better But Price May Be High RALEIGH — Even though your favorite pro duct keeps you fresh and clean all day long, experts from the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are suggesting that deodorant soaps and other germ killing prod ucts may be bad for your health. For the various anti septic agents may knock out beneficial bacteria and permit dangerous germs to multiply, they add. The FDA is expected to propose stringent testing requirements, limit pro motional claims and even ban some of the germ killers, observe extension family living specialists, North Carolina State Uni versity. The biggest battlfc is likely to occur over de odorant soaps. Soapmak era would be given one year to prove their prod uct is harmless. Thus far, only a handful of products have been proven safe and effective. Iodine, trusted in family first aid, may disappear from the medicine chest. Experts argue that it ac tually delays the healing of wounds because it is toxic to underlying tissue. The final order on anti septic agents may not be made until next year. Then within six months, drug companies would be required to eliminate claims such as "speeds,” "promotes,” “aids heal ing,” “disinfects the skin,” or “controls infec tion.” Testing for safety and efficiency would have to be completed within one year of the date the proposal is issued. mmmmmsm Transylvania Doings by Dorothy Osborne Mr. and Mrs. Willis Brittain had two of their children as guests during the holiday season. • Bill and Joyce Brittain and their daughters, Carolyn, 12, and Jean, 7, of Dubuque, Iowa, spent Christmas week here.
