Portland Observer, July 4, 1984 Pegs 7 M a k e p a s ta s a la d V ersatility and economy have made pasta a staple in many American households. Even James Beard, a giant in the food industry, says of pasta, **i never get tired of pasta, any more than I get tired of bread.” Like bread and most staples, pasta needs other ingredients, such as a robust spaghetti sauce, to enhance its flavo r. Here are a variety o f delightful recipes using spaghetti sauce and pasta for ex citingly different dishes. Mediterranean Macaroni Salad is a cold dish using spaghetti sauce mixed with Italian salad dressing.

An estimated 62,(XX) Americans are blind from glaucoma and ap proximately 2 million citizens have the eye disease Among the probable reasons for the higher rate ot glaucoma among Blacks are: • a high incidence, earlier in life, of elevated pressure within the eye; • a more severe elevation in pressure; • delayed detection and tre a t ment; • less effect o f therapy on the glaucoma. T o help reduce the number of cases o f glaucoma in Blacks, the Academy is encouraging more: • eye examinations for this group; • frequent follow-up; • careful attention to treatment of glaucoma; • attention to economic and other factors that may interfere with adequate detection and treatment; • interest from governm ental, private and voluntary agencies to increase screening among high-risk groups (socially deprived populations likely to have limited access to health care); • attention to glaucoma detection among existing health screening programs of Blacks for hyperten sion, sickle cell disease and diabetes; • joint efforts by governmental agencies and other institutions in organizing and coordinating (his ef fort.
