Value of Courses

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

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.
