COOKING CORNER
Chinese dishes
easy for everyone
By SUSAN DELIGHT
What course does a mother
choose when her husband
likes Chinese cuisine and her
children like American foods?
"I cook both," said Mrs.
Beata Chang, whose husband
was born and reared in China.
Their children were born in
this country. "I try very hard
to please all."
Mrs, Chang, a teacher of
Chinese cuisine, says she has
simplified Chinese dishes so
that they are almost as easy
to prepare as dishes of this
country.
"I make them easy enough
so that even the beginner can

prepare without difficulty,"
she said.
Mrs. Chang, a Cela Vista,
Calif., resident, teaches
classes in Chinese cooking at
an adult school.
She said that sweet and sour
pork is .easily the most popu-
lar Chinese dish.
Though born in this country,
Mrs. Chang spent her child-
hood in China.
"1 went to the country with
my parents when I was only
three years old," she said. ''I
spent 14 years there before re-
turning to this country. While
I was in China I studied cook-
ing in schools."
Chang, a metallurgist,
came to this country to study,
met his wife here and the two
decided to make their home
here. They have six children,
four sons and two daughters.
Two of the family's favorite
foods are Stu Mai ( wrapped
meatballs) and Soy Sauce
Cornish Hen.

CHILD'S PLAY
Recycle container
for special gift
By BUROKER &
HUNTSINGER '
"Recycling" has been given ,
a new, modern concept in to-
day's ecology minded world.'
People now, take great `prig ..
in. reusing object& Ph ding
practical or pretty application
for _ something that is no
longer functional in its origi-
ral form, has become quite a
national pastime. ,
Of course, artists and
craftsmen have been "turning ,
junk into art" for centuries.'.
Primitive man made beauti-
ful sculptures from what
would otherwise have been
discarded bones, for one ex-
ample.
A great many school proj-
ects were recycled objects
long before anyone thought of
the word. Tin can art, egg
carton creations, collages -
made froth cloth and paper
scraps, driftwood and shell
sculptures are just some of
the perennial favorites.
Soft plastic objects found on
the kitchen shelf present all -
sorts of interesting possibili-
ties to an imaginative mind.
For instance, if your family
has an empty soap or deter-
gent dispenser,a small bleach
or ammonia bottle ready to go
in the garbage, or a similar
plastic container, ` you have
•
the basic material for a prac-
tical and attractive gift.
Sharp scissors or a knife are
needed to cutoff the top and
neck of the bottle. Mark an
outdowith a ascii .first
toe` ..u.:.�the Point t ough
for the cut., You can
make the edge even or scal-
loped; in jagged peaks or on
an abstract lune. In any case,
thecut will be smooth so no
sanding or polishing will be
required.
Next, cut out appealing
magazine pictures which can
be glued to the front and back.
Cloth figure designs from dis-
carded scraps of material
make an unusual motif. An-
other idea for decorating this
container bottom is to glue
rickrack along the top and
lower parts so a framed effect
is achieved. Ifdesired, decals,
contact or wallpaper scraps
are also ornamental.
The only real remaining
problem is determining the
new function for this old bot-
tle. Pilled with flowers, it can
become a pretty vase. Pen-
cils, felt pens or crayons will
turn it into a convenient stor-
age unit. Letters and notes
can be saved neatly. And, of
course, you can fill this recy-
cled container with home-
made treats that will turn it
into a fine cookie or candy jar.
