H o w easy the doctort's job u in a
diet! He tells you to eat more o f this
and less o f that Then o ff you go with
great determination to succeed. What
you don’t always remember is that in
changing a diet pattern you will be
trying to eat more o f the things that
you aren't so wild about (or you
would have been eating lots o f them
before!) and less o f those yummy,
sciumptious things that you have
learned to believe make meals worth
while.
If you find yourself on a fat-
controlled, a low-calorie, or a weight-
reduction diet, you've probably been
told to eat more fish. Here's a recipe
that is so good (hat you can serve it
for company and slay on your d M
at the same time. Creole-Style
flounder, developed in the Rice
Council test kitchen is baked in a deli
cious sauce and served over hot
cooked rice. Rice fits right in with
many diets, too. It contaihs only
82 calories per half-cup serving, is
gluten free, low in sodium, and low
in fat.
Rice adds a special flavor and
heartiness to (he meal without ruining
the diet. Serve it plain, or add a low-
caloric seasoning like saffron, onion,
lemon or dill weed and you will add
lió pounds fillets o f flounder

Home economist
heads programs
by Linda Thompson
With the state of today’s economy,
one finds it increasingly difficult to
balance one's finances — especially
the grocery bill.
Our role model for this week is an
expert in this area. Not only does she
enjoy it but chose it as a career.
A native o f Mexia, Texas, Cornetta
Smith is proud to be a part o f a large,
loving family (seven girls and two
boys). She graduated from Booker T.
Washington High School and later
received her B.S. in Home Economics
edpeation from Prairie View A & M
University, Prairie, Texas. Soon after
graduation, Cornetta went to work
fof the Slate Extension Service in
Sequin, Texas.
In 1970, she made her debut into
the City o f Roses where she imme
diately went to work for the Portland
Public School System as a home eco
nomics teacher for Boise's seventh
and eighth grades. From Boise, Mrs.
Smith went to Adam in the same
capacity.
Cornetta left the school system in
1973 to work for the model city’s 4-C
as a nutrionist and home economist.
As Portland underwent changes,
Cornetta remained faithful to her po
sition and the community she loved
and served, and as the program
merged with A M A Family D ay/N ight
Care, she soon became director.
The Albina Ministerial Alliance
organization recognized her talent,
her skills and her knowledge and ap
pointed her as coordinator o f all their
programs which include A M A Family
Day/Night
Programs,
Headstart,
Self Enhancement Program and the
Emergency Food Program. Cornetta
was instrumental in getting a grant
from a local business to do an assess
ment o f inner city child care needs.
With five girls (Althea 17, Andrea
15, Blanche 13, Contonia 12 and
Yolonda 8) and one boy (Dayton Jr.)
she and her husband still find time to
be very active in the Northeast L u
theran Missionary Church where she
teaches Sunday School and works
with the Youth Department. In her
spare time, she enjoys reading and
cooking.
Cornetta is one o f those rare gems
from the country that has made
America, especially Black America,
what it is today and she has the fol
lowing four steps to give for a suc
cessful life and career: *'A really
good, strong family background is
No. I. It sets the stage for positive
thinking. A good family background
helps put the pieces o f life together.
No. 2 is a strong belief in God. This
means a realistic understanding of
how the word applies to one’s daily
life. No. 3 is a good education, and
No. 4 is strong community support
from neighbors, friends and church,
someone who will always give you
moral support and the right advice.”
