By BILL CLAYTON United Press International Austin,' Tex. - (UPD - Mrs. Rebecca Warden has made a child's" fascination with jin gles pay off in a plan that literally makes multiplica tion tables child's play. The grade school teacher's system is music. She set to music the "Two times two equal four" and "Two times three equals six." The simple tune picked out on a piano puts . a lilt into the pesky ta bles, and makes them sound enough like a television jin gle to catch a four-grader's ear, she said. "The beat of the music suggests the answers," she explained. "After the chil dren have sung it a while, they are reminded oi the right answers by the beat and the pitch of various multiplica tions." The song has caught on so that Mrs. Warden now hears it hummed in the school play grounds. And the idea has spread. Mrs. Warden thinks musi cal mathematics is a natural outgrowth of a child's desire for variety and freshness in school work. Sings Tables "You can learn just most anything faster by rhythm," she said. "When you sing the multiplication tables, you're putting sight and sound and rhythm into the information, and the use of more senses makes it easier to learn. Any child will learn many of the singing television commerci als to the last word, and yet can't learn mathematics ta bles." The teacher thinks the idea can be used in other school subjects. "People live so closely with music now," she pointed out. "I think this is a medium of teaching we haven't used enough. We all learn with 'crutches,' and if you give a child a musical crutch to re mind him of something, he'll remember." Is Copyrighted When Mrs. Warden real ized schools could use the method, she had the song copyrighted and a recording made. "I've sold quite a few of the records-about 50 now," she said. "I've heard from universities who want the song for teaching the handi capped, from grandmother who want to help their grand children with lessons, and from people who want the song to help their children with homework." She said the record sales turn into a "non-profit ven ture" because she is selling the recordings at cost, and takes a loss in mailing them. Each week, mail to her 206 Salem Lane home here brings more inquiries about the re cording. "I want them used," she said. "I get requests from many slates in the country."

In the tail-end of the huge Varig Airlines 707 jetliner, Chief Steward Lajos Krivanek sat in one of the crew's seats for a few minutes rest. It couldn't be long, because the speeding jet leaves little lime between a late dinner and early breakfast on the nine-and-a-half - hour overnight flight. Talking about food and serv-, ice obviously didn't annoy Krivanek - even though he was taking a break - because "for me this is everything." "He didn't even balk at writing out the pages - long : wine list and menu - and pass-; ing on the tempting recipe the chefs use for chicken Varig ! Airlines served jet passengers, j As he wrote, he looked up occasionally to talk about the service (seven cabin attend ants serve a full dinner from cocktails through to coffee and : liqueurs to 109 persons in two hours) and about himself (born in Hungary, a resident of Bra zil 12 years, 150 flights be tween New York and Rio). Menu Given And what he wrote enliven-1 ed the appreciation of dinner at 40,000 feet: . Caviar frais malossol, sau- mon fume, mcdallons de foie gras en gelec, chaud-foid de volaille - all from the rolling hors d'oeuvrc cart. Then the entrc, the filet mignon or chicken Varig Airlines, cream ed spinach, sweet small car rots, pi In f f rice and salad. To heighten the food, tliere's a choice of 10 wines and champagnes. Then there's des sert from a stacked - high pastry-cart, closely followed by coffee and the liqueur cart. Krivanek took pride in the way the crew functioned, in cluding their deft handling of five changes of complete silver service and five plates for each passenger, despite the fact that the number of pas sengers had about doubled over piston-engine planes and the time to serve cut in half. But the real bows must go to the French chefs preparing the food is galleys 4Va by 3 feet. Breakfast Krivanek barely finished getting down the recipe be fore he and the crew were back in action preparing for the breakfast of fruit, juice, eggs, cereal, cold cuts, cakes, danish pastry and coffee. Here is the chicken recipe- reduced in content to feed four: One 3'i pound chicken cut into pieces; 4 tablespoon clari fied butter; a tablespoon warm cognac; 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots; 2 ta blespoons finely chopped tar ragon leaves; 4 cups chicken stock; 1 pint heavy cream. Cook the chicken parts in butter until golden brown on all sides. Pour off fat from pun, sprinkle chicken with warm cognac and ignite. When flame dies remove chicken to a warm place and add shallots and tarragon leaves. Cook over low heat, stirring oc casionally for a few minutes. Remove from heat. Spread a little flour over chicken, using a whip without letting the flour brown. Meanwhile, bring chicken stock to a boll until the mixture is thickened and smooth. Remove from heat and pour in heavy cream. Strain. Return chicken to the sauce. Sprinkle with a little additional tarragon leaves and serve very hot. A few finely sliced mushrooms cooked in a little heavy cream may be add cd to the sauce when the chicken is. 4L THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS Cornucopias Baskets Gourds Grapes Leaves Fall Flowers (Table Arrangements M.iale to Order) Irene's Flowers 2318 Capitol Ave. Phone SP 2-6337 hp Woman's Society To Have Program Tuesday Morning Mrs. Ross Youngblood will present a program titled "Into All the World Together" to the Woman's Society of Chris tian Service at 11 a.m., Tues day, November 22 at First Methodist church.
