wd C0 hm ENGR Seal Indicates Product Safety The little “UL” seal stamped on some products means more than its size suggests. Exten- sion home management specialists at The Pennsylvania State University say that the Underwriters’ Laboratories symbol means the item meets rigorous safety standards. The organiza Ab: independent and nonprofit. Each year, over 30,000 new products are submitted by man- ufacturers at their own expense to UL for safety testing. The tests are for electrical safety, as well as to see if items really can be declared ‘‘fireproof,”’ ‘“‘waterproof,”’ or ‘‘burglar- proof.” In addition to electrical pro- ducts, other types of products are tested. Flooring and roofing materials, safes, cleaning fluids, flame resistent fabrics, step ladders, flooring mat- erials, pressure cookers and fire alarms are among the pro- ducts which might carry a UL label, explain the Extension specialists. The emphasis at UL is on safety rather than convenience or satisfaction. And contrary to what many people think, the federal government does not re- quire testing of appliances be- fore they are marketed. The UL label is an assurance that a pro- duct has a safety standard. Of course, any product that is mis- used can be unsafe, but the UL label is your best guide to a safe product. Always look for the UL label on both products and wiring be- fore makingta final decision on buying oc equipment for the home. Womans Club Serve ‘International’ Dinner The Dallas Senior Woman’s Club enjoyed a delicious Inter- national dinner prepared by members recently.

Post Cookbook Page 7 Rich Adamick, first year stu- dent in the mass communica- tions associate degree program at Penn State’s Wilkes-Barre Campus, need never worry about missing a tasty dinner. As accomplished as he is becoming in the communications field, he is even more so in his culinary achievements. Originally from Pottsville, the campus freshman is now re- siding in Sweet Valley where he regularly prepares his own meals and most of those for several of his friends. However, Rich disclaims being a gourmet chef—he likes to prepare simple but hearty dishes, ‘‘the kind that stick to your ribs.” He prefers these dishes because, as a student and part-time worker, he does not have the time to become in- volved in menus that take too long in preparing. A graduate of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary High School, Class of 1970, he first en- rolled as a biology major at Kutztown State College where he spent nearly a year before deciding he preferred entering the area of broadcasting. Immediately following high school Rich joined the ranks of employees. While working in the heavy construction field, he became interested in cooking. Tired of eating most of his meals in diners and rest- aurants, he turned to his mother for basic instructions in food preparations and coupled her lessons with his own exper- iments to be come proficient in the preparation of com- paratively simple but tasty dishes. His mother, a chef in a child- ren’s home in the Pottsville area, is quite proud of her son’s success both as a student and a cook. Rich laughingly related his first experiments in the kit- chen—fried cucumbers and chili. “The cucumbers weren’t too ‘bad’,” he said, “but the chili—it was hot enough to set you afire.” His taste for good home-cooked meals, however, prevailed him to continue his meal preparations, and today he is considered expert by the many co-workers and student friends who have had occasion to be among his dinner guests. He prefers preparing food for small groups, no more than eight persons, in order to give the necessary time to menu planning and preparation. His culinary skill should stand him in good stead if, after gradua- tion, he is successful in obtain- ing a position on the West Coast, in broadcasting, of course. His favorite dishes are chicken pot pie and Irish rag cake which he has included among the recipes he shares with Post readers. Chicken Pot Pie 1t. salt 1 egg The Citizen Band Emergency Communications Service recently held an exercise to determine operational capability, with 150 mobile and base units participating. The exercise successfully established communications throughout Luzerne County. The primary objective of the county wide exercise was to insure that emergency radio communications be readily in the event of a disaster. Test messages were trans- complying with the overall operation. The county has divided into 10 operational sectors for direction and con- trol. The interest and dedication of each Citizen Band volunteer has been the key factor of the success of the Emergency Radio Communications (ECS). The objective of the County Civil Defense is to be able to supply radio communications to all local municipalities for warning, operations and in- formation. It is anticipated that additional Citizen Band volunteers will be assigned emergency missions and ad- ditional exercises will be held in the future. The exercise was directed by Willard Clark and F. Andrew Smith Jr.; Luzerne County ECS coordinators. Friday, GOOD NEWS FOR OUR MEMBERS!
