Haraguchi, R.N In these days of w orry over the high cholesterol content of our diets and its ’ possible re lationship to heart disease, it*s nice to know of a food sub stance which actually lowers the blood cholesterol level. This substance is lechitbin.In the body lecithin acts as a fat em ulsifier, that is, it breaks down fat in the blood stream. Lecithin has also been found to be a m ajor building block of brain and nerve tissues and of the male reproductive fluid. As the body ages, its ’ abil ity to use dietary fatdecreas- es. Adding lecithin to the diet under experimental conditions has enabled the blood level of fat to become normal after a meal as rapidly in older per sons as in the young. This in dicates that including lecithin containing foods in our menus may help to avoid heart attacks thus prolonging the years of vigorous life . Eggs, although high in cho lesterol are also high in leci thin. They contain many of the important B vitamins. If fe r tilized, they contain vitam inE . These vitamins areextremely beneficial both to the nervous and circulatory systems, so unless your doctor recom mends it, do not lim it eggs in your diet. While lecithin can be pur chased in capsules and in granule form at health food stores, a wise cook can add it to her fam ily’ s diet by making use of the soy bean. Soybeans are just about the highest nat ural source of lecithin. L9e soy bean oil instead of short ening or lard when cooking. Soy flo u r is a good addition to breads, muffins, etc. Simply substitute part of your usual flo u r fo r soy flo u r. Use soy bean dishes and casseroles. They provide complete protein in addition to lecithin, which makes them an excellent meat «ibstitute. Japanese people make a cheese, called tofu, from soy beans. It is avail able in Japanese food stores along with recipes fo r its ’ use. Many young people in the U.S. have been found to be af flicted with high blood choles terol levels because they con sume so many saturated fats. Don’ t take chances with your health o r the health of your loved ones. Follow some of the above suggestions. You’ l l fiixl mighty good eating and reap the rewards of better living.

C urrently, 15 students who have been recommended to the program by agencies, parents, or friends are training for posi tions as kitchen support per sonnel. A t the completion of the course, the studerts w ill be qualified to work as bakery assistants, fry station assistants, waitresses, bus boys o r g irls , dishwashers, o r In sim plified food prepara tion. Instructor fo r the new PCC program is Ruth Kaiser who has worked for 10 years with alow - learning students In Multnomah County Schools. Through experience, she has developed successful methods fo r teaching slow - learners. Her p rim a ry objective Is to prepare students to find and to hold jobs. A ll situations the students w ill encounter on- the-job are explained, d is c u s s e d , and r e i n f o r c e d through visual aids. M rs. K aiser varies each lesson to stim ulate student Interest. Personal appearance, respon s ib ility to employer, and at titude while on the job are subjects she emphasizes. M rs . Kaiser believes her students should be prepared fo r the realities of the work w orld. To supplement time spent in class, students work in the PCC eating areas. As evidence of the success of M rs . Kaiser’ s straight forward approach, her stu dents were bussing dishes along after just three weeks in the program, and aftei one month the class was respon sible fo r running thedlshroom In the PCC cafeteria. Each student is evaluate«! weekly In four areas: p e rfo r mance; ccxirtesy; appearance; and punctuality. When M rs. Kaiser ce rtifie s that a stu dent has been trained as a culinary assistant, the student then has an on-the-job working experience in the kitchen of the P a rry Center, training center fo r exceptional child ren In Portland. Following this workexper lence, students return to PCC for help in finding jobs in the community. The Culinary Assistant Program at PCC Is furWed by a grant from the Oregon Board of Education.
