12 A TODAY. APRIL 2S. M3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Experts Divided on Value of Courses In Speed Reading Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food editor Standardizing of Cosmetic Containers Receives Opposition From Industry fashions and style, and art, she said. Br DAVID NTDICX UPI Education Specialist There are many speed read ing programs which indicate that an Individual'! reading rate can be increased from three to ten times its present apeed. Experts have many opinions concerning the value of these courses. Through an organized and mwrontnitwl effort speed and comprehension in reading can be increased. An individual can accomplish this by himself if he is preslitent. Why should one get in volved in a course which will cost a good deal of money? The answer lies with the indi vidual. The structure supplied by a course will generally mo tivate the student. The mater ials, techniques, and direction of the course will supply spe cific procedures. It will be necessary to practice approx imately one hour per day. The results probably will be su perior to those of an individ ual approach. The basic value of speed reading depends upon a per son's Involvement with read ing. College students, lawyers, and others who constantly use reading as a tool probably would benefit from such a course. An individual who reads as a recreational activ ity or who will not continu ously use the techniques prob ably would benefit from his own efforts rather than a course. If you have decided that there it value to such a ven ture, you should be careful in choosing a course. A little in vestigation will reveal the le gitimacy and background of personnel, and the results ob tained by a particular plan. Courses sponsored by colleges and public schools generally are effective. Critics attack these pro grams for a variety of reasons. They particularly question comprehension at high speed. But many individuals have taken the courses and have been satisfied with the re sults. If you have no need to take a special course but want to increase your reading speed and comprehension, it can be done. You will have to make a specific effort. Normal read ing speed Is generally the rate at which the reader is most comfortable. You should prac tice pushing your speed be yond the comfort level for a period of one half to one hour per day. At first you will not obtain a great deal of under standing or pleasure. After a reasonable period of time you will discover that your nor mal speed has increased considerably. Change in Smokes Being Considered Washington - OJPD- A gov ernment cancer expert says people apparently won't give up smoking, regardless of evi dence tending to link it with cancer. He said the answer might be to change the smokes, not the smokers. Dr. Kenneth M. Endicott, di rector of the National Cancer Institute, told a House appro priations subcommittee in testimony made public Thurs day that research is being conducted to cither eliminate cancer - causing factors from cigarettes or adding chemi cals to counter them.

Yogurt and Cucumber Soup Liked by Iranians Last week we told you of a popular Iranian recipe for kebab. Since then, we've tried this Mast (Yogurt) and Cu cumber Soup and found it perfectly delicious and cer- j tainly a conversation piece. It is noted with interest in The World's Favorite Recipes from the United Nations. Re cipe makes four to six serv ings. 3 cups (1 Vi pints) yogurt Hz cups finely cubed or grated cucumbers Vi cup currants or small seedless raisins cup water 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill 3 tablespoons minced chives or green onion tops ti teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground Beat yogurt well. Add cu cumbers and currants or rai sins. Blend thoroughly and add three-quarter cup water or more until the mixture is the consistency of cream soup. Add dill, chives or green onion tops, sail and pepper. Blend well and chill. Serve very cold. For added heartiness use two chopped hard-cooked eggs (for garnish). Pepper Bread Sticks These are especially good with green salads and bland casseroles. Makes 24 sticks. Quarter each of six weiner buns lengthwise to make bread sticks. Soften one-half cup (one stick) butter and add one-half teaspoon season ed peppei and one-half tea spoon seasoned salt. Spread butter mixture on bread sliek.s. Sprinkle lavishly with one cup grated Parmesan cheese. Place on a cookie sheet and toast in hot oven, 450 degrees, about eight min utes. Serve while piping hot. Check These Food Thieves: Help Balance Food Budgal Now seems a fine time to wage war on waste more ag gressively in our kitchens. If you want to save money, do a better job, oe a better cook, you'll find valuable sugges tions here. Waste begins with the selection of food and car ries right on through im proper slorage and use of leftovers. A case in point is the prodl gal amount of fat wasted through improper storage. Leftover fats and drippings are good food and can be used again. But they must be stored as carefully as other fats and that means In a dry, cold, dark place. Left out, even briefly, they'll spoil the flavor or other foods in which they are used. There's waste in products that are hastily or carelessly prepared and so turn out to be failures. Careful measur ing can make the difference between a very successful dish or a cake and one that is thrown away or only half eaten. Follow directions on packages and cans. They were developed to give greatest satisfaction and eating pleas ure so that consumers will come back for more of the same food; same brand. When meat is improperly cooked, allowed to burn or cooked at too high a tempera ture, it shrinks more than necessary. This makes fewer servings per pound. Today's meat specialists roast most meats at 325 degrees; recom mend 300 degrees for lamb. When reheating leftovers, heat them thoroughly but do not cook the food again. To re cook, destroys the flavors and nutrients. The outer leaves of lettuce and the green leafy tops of white turnips and beets may be boiled and served just like spinach. Odd bits of tomatoes, green onions, green peppers, celery and parsley can be depended upon to add new flavor and interest as well as bulk and nourishment to leftovers.
