Extension Nutritionist Gives Menu for Meal To Be Cooked Outdoors Ames. Iowa (U.R1 Going "out" for dinner tonight? All you need is the food, a roll of aluminum foil and an out door fireplace. Here's a mouth-watering out door cookery menu from Har riett Roberts, extension nutriti onist at Iowa State college. lhe dinner features broiled steak and Lyonnaise potatoes. Place the steak on a piece of foil directly on top of the hot coals. If you like your steak rare, broil for 6 minutes on each side; for medium, 8 minutes; for well done, 10 minutes. Cut a large po tato and an onion into thm slices. Mix them and season with salt and butter. Wrap in foil and cook about 15 minutes. Complete the main course with corn, roasted the foil way, says Miss Roberts. Pull the shuck away from the ear. but don't remove it entirely. Clean out the corn silk and spread the ear with butter or margarine. Now pull the shuck over the ear and wrap in foil. Lay on grill or directly on the coals, turning frequently. Roasting should take 10 to 15 minutes. Try fruit "kabobs" for dessert, Alternate marshmallows and pieces of fruit on green sticks. Use apples, bananas, oranges, ap ricots or prunes.

The 11 women who comprise the club's "Garden Therapy Committee" took an orientation course offered by one of the hos pitals and then went to work. They urged each patient to plant a bulb or a house plant, then watch it grow in his r.oom. At holiday time, they give the patients materials with which to make a corsage for mother or sweetheart. The women visit the patients on alternate Wednesdays. Their program is the first of its type in this area, and the veterans' hospitals are so well pleased they have invited other garden clubs to participate.
