Also, it carves more easily. And, just a word to help whoever is carving — don't .overload the platter with fancy garnishes that get in his way! Limit the decoration to parsley and perhaps one veget- able or fruit to be served with the turkey.

The largest automatic push, button restaurant in the U.S. perhaps the world — has just opened in Chicago to. such Me- lades as that of the advertising man who especially liked a des, sert: "The cheesecake is just great. Not one of those little wedges . you usually get. A really big piece. And only a quarter." ‘'It passes the hot test for me," remarked a businesswoman. "The roast pork was really hot when I got it," Two ladies said the food had been "good enough," but admit- ted they did not care for the bustle, even though it all took place in what they conceded was a handsomely decorated canta- loupe-orange, chocolate-brown and cream 'setting. The restaurant is the IBrass Rail Automatic Restaurant, imper- sonal even to the automatic coin and bill changer. It is located in a lower street-level area of Michigan Avenue's famous Wrig- ley Building. It is the newest and largest of its type there and is the latest venture of the Inter- state Vending Company which,is head-quartered there. Interstate's president, Ronald Wolff, told newsmen prior to the public opening about the restaur- ant's concept, an enterprise strongly reminiscent of, but much more highly automatic than, New York City's famed Automats. "We can serve more people (250 seated at any one time) than a conventional restaurant of the same size. We offer more con- venience to people on the run. With vending machines we can offer wide variety and high vol- ume at standard peices, We are close to demand in an office-- building location such as this, "A restaurant of this type is possible because of improved technology in vending equipment, because of the development of specially prepared meals for vending. This opens the way for an - ever increasing number of automatic food-service installa- tions in. public, industrial, and in- stitutional locations." The restaurant automatically serves a complete menu of Brass Rail main-course meals, sand- wiches, salads, desserts, and bev- erages through a bank of more than 20 vending machines. The food is flown in frozen from Interstate'S food prepare- , tion center in New Jersey. Each item is automatically .restocked. VOLUNTEER — Ngo Dinh Le Thuy, 16, niece of President Ngo Dinh Diem of Viet Nam, is among women volunteers taking training in Saigon to fight Communist Viet Cpng, It is said that the dog is man's best friend., But far as three- year-old Monika Skoda is eon- Cerned, the beet friend she will ever have is Minki — a magnifi-rent black cat, Fee Monika owes her life to the cot — a life that was serie euslyerlangered by a huge alsa- tian dog. It happened in Pfaffstatten, a village near Vienna. Her parents bad driven Monika and Minki to a public house between, the fa- mous vineyards of Pfaffstatten, The mother and father were sitting at one of the rpugh wood- en tables, drinking heuriger and chatting/ with friends. They did not notice their daughter slip away to explore the gardens, The gardens were large and Monika wandered aimlessly for several minutes, with the cat paddling silently along behind, Evehtually the girl found some sand to play with, while the cat jumped on to a hedge. Minki was the first to notice Fox, the publican's powerful al- satian dog. She arched her back and spat at the intruder, but Fox took no notice — his interest was centred on the little girl. In her innocence, Monika. rose to pet the animal. She thought he was friendly like other clogs, It was a terrible mistake, Mon- ika's sudden movement spurred the alsatian into action. The dog bared his teeth and, with a vi- cious snarl, sprang at the child, knocking her to the ground. Before she could utter a cry, the dog had bitten her several times on the face, Monika lost consciousness. And she would have lost her life had not Minki come to the rescue, Crouched on top of the hedge,. she sprang at the alsatian, clawing for ,the dog's eyes. Fox turned to face his new opponent and a bloody fight ensued. Hearing the terrifying noises of battle, Monika's parents and the publican rushed to the scene and managed to drag the animals apart. The dog lost an eye and Minki was badly bitten. A doctor was called to treat lidonika for shock and facial in- juries. Both Monika and Minki recov- ered quickly — and they are even stronger friends now.

Diver Helps To Search For Himself A skin-diver, who was thought to have drowned, helped to search for, himself at Sante Max- ime, on the French Riviera. The diver was bobbing up and down, testing some new equip- ment, But holidaymakers thought he was in difficulties, and when he failed to surface they called out the beach rescue squad, Unable to locate a drowning man they summoned further help from the fire service and sent an SOS to a water rescue team at a nearby resort. Meanwhile, oblivious of the furore he Was causing, the skin- diver had 'unobtrusively crawled out of the sea about 300 yards up the beach. Removing his aqua- lung, he flopped down on the sands to rest. A few minutes later, he took a stroll along the beach and saw a great commo- tion ahead, "A swimmer has disappeared," he was told. "O.K.," he said. "I've an aqua- lung with me Perhaps I can find him." So, for the next thirty minutes, he helped the rescue workers probe the sea-bed. Finally, the hunt was called off. And only then did someone recognize him as the skin-diver who. had disappeared. He was almost mobbed. Some kissed him in relief. Others called him an idiot for having started such a wild-goose chase.

Botanists and birdwatchers are fleeting to save an acre of bled- elerwort plants threatened by plans for a new power station in Gloucestershire. The bladderwort is a rare in; sect-eating plant with pretty yellow flowers. The Gloucestershire Trust for Nature. Conservation is trying to persuade the State Electricity Board to shift the location of the power station and leave the plants undisturbed. "You don't find much bladder- wort about nowadays," said Rob- ert George, chairman of the na- ture trust. "It would be a pity to lose it," "We also have a pair of marsh- warbler birds (they're rare, too) nesting on the site and would like them left alone also."

If you have Modern dental science is bare- ly 100 years old, but the first den- tists were Babylonians of 5,000 B.C. who used herbs to "cure the devil that causeth toothache." Their favourites were• cloves or cinnamon, placed in a cavity of the aching tooth in an effort to bring relief. A primitive form of toothbrush was used by the people of India in 500 B.C. In London, in 1376, the Dentists' Guild was formed and lasted for 437 years. During the nineteenth century, British people became very teeth- conscious and many types of powders were adyertised for cleaning and keeping molars white, and the mouth sweet. Tootbrushes, as we know them, are only about 200 years old. They were originally made from the bristles of wild boars, The Patron Saint of Toothache is St. Appollonia, who was mar- tyred in Alexandria in 248 A.D. Among the tortures she endured before being burnt at the stake, was the erude extraction of her teeth by pulling, breaking and knocking them out, Her special day is February 9. So • If you have to see your dentist , Eskimos get very little dental trouble; nor Indians, who keep to a strict, vegetarian diet, or Australian aborigines. But, once they change over to the type of foods we eat, dental decay results. , African natives visiting Great Britain invariably avoid sweet- stuffs and maintain their regular use of tooth-picks to keep their teeth gleaming white. Healthy teeth are well used. And bite-power varies consider- ably from one nation to another. An Eskimo exerts 345 pounds pressure when he masticates the raw fish and fat, which form part a his diet, and also when he chews leather to make it sup- ple enough for use*58 harness or lacings for his clothes. Our biting power is only around 171 pounds because We are used to, soft, slushy foods. Chewing hard foods stimulates the blood to the gums, keeping them and the teeth healthy, It also helps to clean them by removing acids and other harm. deposits. t/Se stiiootli polish When cloning fine pleCee Of •silver, Then WaSh the shoal thorotighly m whim water, dry it With linen and polish it with a soft cloth, too keeP it hrlifilitt, jiitt eileret in ti polythene bag . elost VIIIPES1 StikikESt Sporty taring o'n,fl St:inlrilar beach lash-, tons shown' itt London feature dazzling diogtiricil Stripes.
