EA Linda Johnson By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Whether teaching, doing crafts, iH designing and building or cooking, | Linda Johnson of Beaumont becomes deeply involved. She also likes to experiment whether it is doing crafts, cooking or working with children. “] enjoy trying new ideas, any- thing that’s a challenge. I find it excellent therapy. At times, I find cooking boring, other times I thor- oughly enjoy experimenting with on new recipes — sometimes they are i my own ideas, at other times | they're ideas I've obtained from i someone else,” said Linda. Linda and her husband Robert built their own home in Beaumont where they have lived for the past 10 years. Linda designed the house, then she and her husband worked together building it. Because they both love the out-of-doors, Linda included lots of windows in their home letting in lots of sun and, when weather permits, fresh air. She said, however, if she had it to do over, she would make the rooms larger and include one large room for crafts. Prior to moving to Beaumont, Linda and Bob lived in Wyalusing for four years. While there, Linda, who has her Master’s degree, taught school. After they decided to have a family, the couple moved to Harveys Lake and lived there for three years while they were build- ing their home. Linda now does substitute teach- ing and is contented substituting in Dallas, Wyoming Valley West, and in the near future, hopefully, in Tunkhannock. Since her daughters and son are young, the substitute teaching allows her time to spend with the children. Jennifer Tamar is in fourth grade at Evans Falls; Jessica Lynn is in third grade; and Robbie is in kindergarten. : Crafts are Linda’s favorite leisure time activity and she finds it excel- lent therapy but she likes a change of pace and often has as many as 15 projects going at one time. She also enjoys bowling and is a member of the Imperialette League at Bonomo’s Sports Center. She is quick to say that she bowls for the fun of it, likes to win, but does not like to bowl for “blood”. The John- sons are family-oriented and most of their recreation is done as a family whether it is camping, trav- eling or attending Shrine conven- tions. They make many trips to New Linda’s sister and tour historical sites. The recipes she shares with Dallas’ Post readers are four of Linda’s favorites. The Wacky Cake fascinates her. She obtained the recipe from a college roommate, whose mother used to bake it and bring it to them at school. They used to keep it outside on their windowsill and eat it at night when studying. The Spinach Dip is a recipe given to Linda by her cousin and is not only delicious but very different from most dips. The French Onion Soup and the Reuben Casserole are from Linda’s sister. The soup is easy to make and is ideal for lunch, alone, or served with bread and a salad; or as the first course at dinner. The Reuben Casserole is a great way to use up left-over corned beef, or for those who want a tasty, economical one- dish they need only purchase the necessary six slices, then served with a salad or vegetable, it will make a delicious dinner for family or friends.

During this time, the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation and other organizations intensified the message that a preg- nant woman should not drink at all. “It is 12 years since the cause and effects of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) were spelled out for the first time, but it remains the third lead- ing cause of birth defects that produce mental retardation,” said Mary Hughes, Ph.D., March of Dimes vice president for commu- nity services. Each year, as many as 36,000 babies are subject to some form of fetal alcohol effects. “While there is increased awareness of alcohol’s damage to the fetus, more than 1,800 babies a year suffer the severe effects of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,” Dr. Hughes said. The syndrome is a pattern of central nervous system disorders, growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities and malforma- tions of cardiac, skeletala and uro- y genic systems. | It was in 1973, at the sixth annual { March of Dimes Birth Defects Con- ference, that FAS was first reported as a specific cluster of severe physi- cal and mental defects. Since then, the March of Dimes has waged a campaign on several fronts to pre- vent the condition. Research grantees supported by sassy Send Your Love With Valentine Greetings MAXIMUM 20 WORDS Line 1 the March of Dimes are developing new knowledge of the processes by which alcohol affects the fetus. One current project of the University of California, San Francisco, concen- trates on alcohol’s interference with brain development. The project builds on previous research findings there that alcohol greatly increases certain types of nerve cell receptors in the brain. On another front, local March of Dimes chapters provide individuals and organizations with leaflets, audiovisuals and other public health education materials explaining the risks of drinking during pregnancy. Speakers on that subject also are available through the local chap- ters. Special materials are provided by the March of Dimes to physicians and other health-care professionals to assist them in counseling preg- nant women against drinking. Study shows calcium need Recent government studies show that most women do not get enough calcium in their diets. The nutrient calcium is especially important during pregnancy. That’s because a baby’s bones start out soft and elastic. They only become hard when calcium is added. Calcium also strengthens and hardens a baby’s teeth as they begin to develop. : If you weren't concerned about calcium before pregnancy, start now. Dave: | haven't spent one day not loving you only!

Good driver can save gas The thinking man’s driver can save hundreds of dollars a year in gasoline costs, car maintenance specialist Ross Olney asserts. “There are maintenance and driv- ing techniques that can help you increase your gas mileage by as much as 30 percent, and sometimes more,”’ he writes in the December Reader’s Digest, ‘‘provided you don’t mind working at the task.” Maintenance procedures include keeping your engine well-tuned and your tires fully inflated. Check your oil every time you buy fuel, Olney advises. “Without adequate lubrica- tion, your engine will struggle against extra friction, burning extra gasoline.” Check your wheel alignment too, at least once a year. “Just as it takes more effort to push a shop- ping cart with a cocked wheel, it takes more from the engine to push a car with wheels out of align- ment,”’ he observes. Driving techniques include not warming up the engine-this alone can save up to two percent of your fuel, if you drive every day. Give the engine a few seconds for the fluids to circulate and the oil to get in around the bearings then drive away slowly.
