The most critical factor in maintaining egg quality is temperature. For example, eggs stored at room temperature-72 to No Match for Billie Jean King’s day of triumph on the tennis court started off just like any other day - with a breakfast of eggs. Ac cording to the New York Times feature writer, Grace Lichten stein, in an article written after extensively interviewing Ms. King’s secretary, the victor of the so-called “Battle of the Sexes” had a breakfast of ham and eggs, just as she does on many other mornings. It was further reported that Mrs. King likes eggs in many forms; her favorite is mushroom omelet. It is quite important to com pare the types of breakfasts eaten by the two contenders in the most-publicized, highest attended tennis match in the history of sports. Mrs. King apparently prefers taking the natural route to maintaining a healthy body to prepare herself for her active, highly athletic life. Bobby Riggs on the other hand, seems to favor the manufactured attempt to achieve good health. Halloween Pumpkin For Halloween Party: Hollow out pumpkin. Cut out eyes and mouth.

If eggs are kept under refrigeration, they should have a shelf-life of at least four to six weeks. While many home refrigerators feature special facilities for eggs, it is a good Good Nutrition He reportedly consumed volumes of vitamins and other prepared dietary supplements on the morning of the “Big Match.” But, it would seem, there is no match for a well-balanced, sensible diet - a diet consisting of one of the most pretein-packed foods available to man (and woman) - eggs. Could the difference in natural nutrition vs. synthetic attempts to create that same nutrition have made a difference in the outcome of the match?

The carton keeps the eggs covered and holds them in a secure position. This prevents breakage and the subsequent increased deterioration. When an egg of high quality- Grade AA or A-is broken out into a pan, the yolk stands high and the white does not spread out excessively. In lower quality eggs, the yolk will be flattened and the white will appear watery and spread out. When hard cooked, eggs of high quality will normally have a well-centered yolk. Loss of quality in shell eggs during storage primarily detracts from the eye-appeal of the egg; however, the nutritional quality remains the same. Your Sewing Ability “I made it myself!” Can you say that with pride about gar ments you make? Many women who sew feel guilty about the slightest deviation from perfection and imagine that everyone else notices it, too. Important as perfection is, don’t be a slave to it. Ripping and stitching, can give a garment a tired, worn-out look before you wear it. Often you are the only one who notices that the stitching line is an eighth of an inch off, unless you tell everyone. Have you ever bought a dress, and after wearing and enjoying it noticed some slight error in stitching or con struction that escaped your eye at first? If you had sewn it that way you would be full of apology. Instead you enjoyed the style, or color or fabric-whatever attract ed you to the dress in the first place. If you are not confident of your ability to sew well, choose printed designs and textured fabrics, where stitching imperfections are less obvious. Plain-colored, flat-textured materials will show off errors, as well as perfect workmanship. Top stitching to outline seams or other details should be as perfect as possible to avoid the “home-made” look. If you have pxnvr Box 351, RDI DANIEL S. ISH Ronks. Pa.
