MICROWAVE MAGIC
Football fare
for fall
By Desiree Vivea
Depending on what part of
the country you live in, the
approach of autumn may
mean crisp weather and the
splendor of flame -colored
leaves, or simply an end to
the oppressive heat of
summer. But no matter
where you live, autumn
always means one thing:
football.
Monday night in front of
the TV watching modern-day
gladiators battle for
possession of a pointed
pigskin ball — historians
may look back on it a few
centuries hence and chuckle.
Try fiddling with the channel
selector in the final two
minutes of a game and you'll
see just how serious it is.
When the football fever
strikes, when male family
members get that funny
glazed`look in their eyes and
start speaking a different
language, it can be a little
frightening. These beings
seem able to subsist on air as
they stare fixedly at the
screen, mumbling about
"end sweeps," "blitzes" and
"nickelbacks."
The following recipes have
been tested and proved ef-
fective in temptitlg the ap-
petites of those who have
fallen prey to football mania.
Just set these goodies down
somewhere in the vicinity of
the television set — perhaps
with a gently reminder that
"man does not live by beer
alone."
(And if you yourself have
caught the fever, these'
microwave -quick treats will
get you out of the kitchen fast
— and back to the game.)

Listening may
ease troubles
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy: I've had
one piece of trouble after
another in my business.
This causes trouble at
home and in almost every-
thing I do. What help can
you give me? — B.K.
Dear B.K.: in big doses,
trouble has a way of chang-
ing people. It either makes
them bigger and more suc-
cessful for having accepted
and done something about
it, or it shrinks them to
°self-pity and failure. It
never leaves them the
same.
First, let's take an hon-
est look at some of your
habits, and admit their ex-
istence. It's your practice
to evade issues or to side-
step truths, in order to pro-
tect your ego, seen in the
double loops on ,most of
your o's. When you inten-
tionally misinform others,
trouble automatically
seeks you out. It closes in
on you. It has to set you
straight.
The "trouble" which lies
within you has gradually
seeped outward and into
your environment. It has
toppled your judgement, as
you have braced yourself
to "save face," seen in the
tent -shaped t's.
You have felt quite ade-
quate unto yourself, seen in
the lack of lower loops on f
and other letters not repro-
duced. Nothing wrong with
that, but, with this feeling,
you ..resist the ideas and
opinions of others, seen in
the squeezed e's and upper
loops on 1 and b. You might
hear something that would
ease your trouble, if only
you would listen.
Admit that you are resis-
tant, and try to bend to ac-
cept. Do something about
it, now, before sell -pity,
seen in the drooping word
endings, clutches too tight-
ly.
Take a good look at the
trouble other people are
having, and it might take
the sharp edge off of yours.
Try, too, to show an in-
terest in those around you,
and give them a chance to
be interested in you.
Life can be a troubled
and lonely road, when you
try to walk it alone.

ONE LITRE OF ROUNDUP® PER ACRE* THIS FALL IS MORE AFFORDABLE
THAN QUACKGRASS. OR ATRAZINE CARRYOVER.
Quackgrass is a costly thief. It robs your land'
and your yield.
Plowing only compounds the problem by
chopping up the quackgrass roots and spreading the
nodes around. This causes the quackgrass problem
to get progressively worse. A small patch soon
becomes an entire infested field. That can end up
costing you in less productive land and lower
crop yields.
Roundup is the affordable, effective solution.
Roundup at one litre per acre* (2.5L/ha) this fall
will effectively control quackgrass through to
A
next<year's harvest. It works on those nodes and
rhizomes so.it really'gets to'the root of your problem.
And, unlike atrazine, Roundup leaves your
cropping options open. You're free to rotate to
the most profitable or. most necessary crops.
So, with gains of more productive land, choice
of best crop, and increased yields, how can you
afford not to use Roundup?
*2.5L of Roundup per hectare to 50 tp 100E clear water per hectare.
