THE KITCHEN OjdbfnOJid The Japanese Like Other Dishes Besides Sukiyaki and Raw Fish PAGE 2 SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1971 ADVANCE - NEWS By Camille Howland Every day brings more beautiful blossoms in my flower garden. Now I have another problem. I'm almost afraid to weed it out. What if there is a patch of weeds that aren't weeds at all? I can see it all now. I'm donned in the baggy old bermudas and faded blouse with the split side seam. Barefoot and by now with muddy feet and hands lam sitting in my most ungraceful manner In the middle of the petunia plot. I am humming the first three bars of \Old MacDonald Had A Farm...\ when my attention is diverted to sirens coming up the road. The sound gets louder and louder and then I see the Sheriff's patrol car slowing down by my driveway—and, yes, it's turning in! Now what? I decide not to jump up and go running out to greet them with the long-lost friend approach. Instead, I continue to sit nonchalantly in the middle of my weeds. But now when I try to hum those familiar three bars, I've forgotten how they go and settle on a monotonous hum. As they lift me by both muddy arms into the car, I am expressing a mild protest: \They can't be marijuana weeds! They're just weeds! What do you mean I'm unlicensed to grow narcotic - herbicides? Of course I am. I'm not trying to. I just wanted to have a pretty flower bed...\ Woman Theologian Advocates Teaching Religion at Home By JAMES J. GALLAGHER Writtern for AP Newsfeatures BRONX, N.Y. (AP) — \The best way for parents to start teaching small children about religion is take down those crucifixes from the nursery walls,\ says a vivacious woman theologian. The suggestion may shock Christian parents who still live by the customs of their own younger days. But it is am effec- tive way for modern parents to rebel against what Dr. Christiane Brusselmans of Fordham Uni- versity calls \the way religion is inflicted on children today.\ Dr. Brusselmans regularly By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: Whenever I have a dinner party, my husband's 28-year-old daughter by a previous marriage calls him at his office and asks if she may bring a \friend;\ but invariably this \friend\ turns out to be two or three extra people. I can seat a limited number. at my table and to squeeze two or three extra guests at the last minute is not to my liking, as I have had to change my plans and serve buffet. I would like to tell this girl exactly how I feel, but my husband says I shouldn't say anything, that he will explain my \peculiarity\ to her. I'd like Your opinion. ANNOYED DEAR ANNOYED: You are entitled to know in advance how many guests you will have. The \peculiarity\ I see here is not in you, but in your husband who allows his daughter to manupulate him and inconvenience you. DEAR ABBY: A popular gospel singer was scheduled to appear in -a concert here. Three of my pals and I decided that we would go together. I bought four tickets in advance and arranged to get off work that evening; The plans were that the three others would pick me up at 7:30 p.m. for an 8 p.m. concert. (I have no car.) I was all dressed and sitting on my porch at 7:15 waiting for my friends. Abby, I sat there until 9:30 and nobbdy showed up! Afterwards they told me that they phoned me, and when I didn't answer they assumed I had found other tran- sporation to the concert, so they went ahead without me expecting to see me there. So now I am out the money for 4 tickets, and I missed the concert. Can you figure this out? Don't say there' was a \misunderstanding as it was perfectly clear that they would come by for me at 7:30. So. why didirt they? MAD IN PETERSBURG, VA DEAR MAD: If it was as \clear\ to them as it was to you, then they deliberately ditched you. But I can't imagine anyone being so unkind. DEAR ABBY: I am a widow, and I frequently travel about the country with other widows. When we go into a restaurant to eat, the waitress will in- variably ask, \One check, or two?\ Abby, women rarely pay for each other's meals, and it gets to be quite embarrassing at times. Please tell waitresses that when two women are eating together, to please make out separate checks. If one woman has planned on paying for the other, she can pick up BOTH checks. Most women pay their own way when traveling. INDEPENDENT WIDOW DEAR WIDOW, Thanks for the \tip which I shall pass on to the waitresses of the world. DEAR ABBY: Words cannot adequately express my appreciation for the wholesome hobby of stamp collec- ting. My husband was forced to retire before 60 so he turned to his stamp collection, added to it, bought and sold stamps and found a fascinating hobby that required no physical effort. We exposed our children to stamps early. As they brought in the mail they would announce, \Betsy Ross Flag!\ Or \Another Mr. Lincoln!\ They learned history through observing stamps. To this day I never throw away a canceled stamp. I cut, soak and dry. And they're saved for my grandchildren. STAMP WIDOW: MPLS. For Abby's new booklet, \WhatTeen- Agers Want to Know,?' send $1 to Abby. DR. CHRISTIANE BRUSSELSMANS shocks her colleagues in religious education as well. Speaking in a disarmingly soft and vaguely Eu- ropean accent, she tells them: \The home, rather than the church or schoolroom, is the primary school of religious in- struction for children. Parents who give up to others the oppor- tunity to teach their children religion are losing some of the greatest pleasures of parenthood. They may do the children a great disservice as well.\ Her objections to crucifixes arise from the same concerns. \Children are psychologically unready to grasp much of the deeper meaning of religious be- lief,\ she observes. \They need first to learn religion in terms of simple and attractive ideas like hope and love and joy. Parents are ideally suited to introduce these ideas in their everday and highly personal contacts with their own young ones.\ A native of Belgium, the per- petually cheerful catechist is cur- rently carrying her message to parents over the country on lec- ture tours to church conventions, college campuses and even local parish meetings. She recently wrote a book, \A Parents' Guide: Religion for Little Children.\ and has in- cluded in it answers to the 76 questions children ask most fre- quently about God, death, heav- en, hell, punishment, repentance and similar preplexities. Since she is without children of her own, she explains her interest in teaching religion to the young by recounting ex- periences in Belgium with her 38 neices and nephews. \I was still in my 20s and studying theology at the Louvain,\ she recalls, \when I heard my brothers and sisters complain about the in- adequate religious instruction provided for their children. Al- though my own academic inter- ests had been more theoretical, I felt responsible to help, and opened a Sunday school for the 38 children of thejamiiy. \I made the parents promise to help me out. It was a matter of necessity, but a fortunate accident. The parents, not the teacher, proved to be the crucial factor in the school's success and the children's enjoyment of . learning. I have since seen over and over again how important parents are in education, particu- larly in religious education.\ She soon discovered her own calling with the children and switched her studies to cate- chetics. A fellowship to Catholic University in 'Washington, D.C., brought her to the United States for a doctorate in religious stud- ies. Two earlier books for par- ents that have sold 100,000 cop- ies each in three languages estab- lished her reputation. Her own happiest experience as teacher for her family's chil- dren occurred one Easter, she said. \I decided to do something about the gory presentations of Good Friday the children had received. The young ones were even having bad dreams as a result. \I asked the parents to re- move the too-realistic crucifixes from the walls of the children's rooms. Then the parents helped their children make .replace- ments from pieces of wood found •in their back yards. The young- sters did their best with sticks of different shapes and textures. They produced surprisingly cre- ative images. \Then the parents suggested the children show in some way that Jesus achieved victory over death arid gave joy and ever- lasting life to the world.\ Some nephews and nieces made banners with glorious col- ors as backgrounds for their crosses. Others strung together dried flowers to form crowns of victory to decorate them. Others fashioned wreaths from palm fronds. In this way, Dr. Brus- selmans explains, the cross be- came for the children a sign of achieving glory. Gone Are Summer Novel Days By BETTY CANARY Publishers at one time brought out rather pointless stories called summer novels. These were books a person could drop beside a hammock when the urge for a nap came along. The books were really stage props for use by persons who might develop guilt feelings if caught merely sitting in a side yard drinking iced tea or beer. Once there were days when, as drowsy summertime hours overtook me, I'd wonder where the books once called \summer novels\ had gone. I haven't had a chance to think about it lately and it has occurred to me that only certain age groups ever had the opportunity to indulge in hammocks and frothy stories. Teen-aigers, mothers with children young enough to take two naps daily and older citizens comprised this elite group of back yard loungers. Businessmen, college students and mothers with chil- dren in the middle.years never had a chance to take lip summertime snoozing and book-dropping as hobbies. To test this theory I took a glass of limeade, a 1309k and a lawn chair; set up my testing site in the back- yard and began to nod. All nature and neighborhood immediately gathered about me. First there were bees and then badminton players. A little girl began jumping rope on the porch behind me. My son repaired his bicycle next to my chair—after ask- ing me to hold a can of bolts and some wrenches. I persevered, but all good experiments eventually must come to an end. That is to say, I held out until the kids pounded two croquet wickets across my ankles. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) By TOM HOGE , Associated Press Writer \Sukiyaki and raw fish are considered in your country as representative Japanese dishes,\ said my young friend, Waka Tsunoda, \but they are not something an average family eats in my homeland. \In Japan, raw fish are usually eaten in rastaurants,\ she said, \because processing such fish is simply beyond the abilities of an amateur. \Actually. I had never tasted 'sushi', the raw fish on sour rice, until I arrived in Tokyo from my small village to attend college,\ the Japanese-born New York writer recalled. \As a matter of fact, I was rather put off by sushi and I couldn't eat half of it.\ The type of dish that Japanese eat as a daily routine, said Waka, could be described 1 as something cosmopolitan and yet uniquely Japanese. \Chieken rice, for example. It's rice with bits of chicken, seasoned with tomato sauce and decorated with green peas and parsley. Or a pork cutlet sitting on a bowl of rice with sauce made of egg, onion and soy sauce poured over it. \And there is the very famous, homey dish called Korokke. This is as Japanese as apple pie is American,\ Waka went on. \It's potato pancake with ground beef and onion. Korokke is something a bride in Japan might learn as her first cooking lesson,\ Waka smiled,- \because the material is reason- able and the recipe is within the grasp of a novice cook. \In fact,\ she recalled, \most brides of my mother's generation FIVE O'CLOCK REFRESHER Miniature Quiches Beverage MINIATURE QUICHES Latest version of one of our favorite hors d'oeuvre. 1 large egg, slightly beaten 1/2 cup milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup grated (medium-fine) Swiss or cheddar cheese, not packed down Pastry Shells, see below Combine egg, milk and salt. Pat cheese into unbaked Pastry Shells. Slowly dribble egg mix- ture over cheese. Bake in a pre- heated 350-degree oven 30 min- utes. Serve^warm. Makes 24, Pastry Shells: Cream 1/2 cup butter and a 3-ounce package of cream cheese; work in 1 cup unsifted flour. Chill if very soft. Roll into 24 balls and press each over bottom and sides (up to top) of small muffin-pan cups, each 1 3/4 inches across top. insisted on-cooking it so often that a pop song went around in which a husband complained 'she cooked korokke today, she'll cook korokke tomorrow, it's korokke all year round!' \The brides of today are better off in Japan,\ she said, \because cheese, salami and ham and other such dishes have also be- come comm6n in the Japanese diet. But the popularity of Ko- rokke has not lessened. It is sold prepared in food . shops, but many still make it themselves. \Whether korokke is good depends on the amount of bjsef in it,\ said Waka. \The cheaper the korokke, the less meat. But even so, potatoes should pre- dominate.\ After being briefed so thor- oughly on the virtues of Ko- rokke, we persuaded Waka to give us a recipe for the dish. Here it is: KOROKKE 4 medium potatoes 1 medium onion 1 pound ground found 1 qt. vegetable oil 1 egg 1 cup bread crumbs 1 cup flour salt and pepper Boil potatoes and mash, sea- son with salt and pepper to taste. Mince the onion finely and saute about 10 minutes with ground beef. Season with salt and pep- per. Mix potatoes, beef and onion ' mix together and shape into eight patties. Dip in flour, then in egg and finally in bread crumbs. Deep fry in oil for about five minutes, but do not fry more than 2 patties at a time. Serves four persons. I found that it was good accompanied by a red Me- doc.

New Horror Films Graced With Beautiful Ladies By PHIL THOMAS AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Strange things are happening — at least in horror movies.' Back in the good, old days, the horror film buff had only to glance at the screen, see the saturnine features of Bela Lugosi and know he had a vampire on his hands -- or neck. Nowadays, all is confusion, what with at- tractive, well-endowed young ladies wandering on screen, giv- ing no clue to their real identity until they pull back their full red lips and show long, pointy teeth. A vampire in starlet's clothing! And there was a time when the mad doctor easily was identi- fiable by a deformed creature, usually named \Igor lurking at his elbow and giggling man- iacally. Now, in the film \Dr. Phibes,'\ \Igor\ has been re- placed by \Vulnavia an attrac- tive, young brunette who not only doesn't giggle she doesn't even speak. \I don't know why they don't let me speak,\ says Virginia- North, the tall, former model, who plays the part, \Not speak- ing is more sinister I suppose. But, then, I do get to scream.\ Miss North also doesn't find a woman doing the \Igor\ bit unusual. \The reasoning behind it is obvious,\ she says. \It's nice to see a pretty girl in a movie.\ A non-speaking role in a hor- ror show isn't new to the 24- year-old Miss North. She once appeared in a play in London called \Council of Love,\ in which she was silent throughout the performance. \I played the daughter of the devil,\ she said with a laugh. \I'd go around and do terrible things. The people who made the movie saw me in the play and decided I was what they wanted. You might say I was ready made for the movie part.\ In the movie. Miss North plays \girl friend, dancing part- ner and sidekick\ to Dr. Phibes (Vincent Price), \aind I help him to do nasty things,, such as mur- ders. All the murders he con- SPEECHLESS ROLE — Virginia North may not speak in the film, \Dr. Phibes,\ but she's certainly visible. Here she models costumes from that motion picture. cocts are horrific. He doesn't just kill someone, he thinks up ter- rible things involving bats and rats and that sort of thing.\ She regards not being able to speak in a roll as \a bit frustra- ting, since everyone else is out there doing their bit and you have to depend mostly on your face, especially your eyes, to get your bit across. \But then, not speaking is far easier than having to speak since you don't get nervous about your lines and how to remember them. In one way it was good, I guess, but, in another, bad. \If I ever do another role I do hope they'll let me speak.\ -The film was made in London, Miss North's home.

Before that I was a modei — clothes and that sort of thing. Then I met the man, who was to become my agent and he asked me if I had ever thought of being in films and I told him that I hadn't but that I would like to and that was the start of it.\ The film is her fifth. Her sixth may be a sequel to \Dr. Phibes.\ Its makers reportedly are consid^ ering a follow-up, and Miss North is willing to go tlie \Igor\ Foute again. \Why not?\ she says. \I like to work,\
