Anti-Clutter Tool Saves Time, Tempers Nothing is more annoying than looking for something yon need in a hurry and not being able to lay your hands right on it, especially in the kitchen where most of your work is done. How much easier it is on your nerves to have everything clearly identified — saves steps, saves time! Have you ever turned your house upside down and topsyturvy looking for, a particular item in a hurry, or rummaged through a catch-all drawer of accumulated clutter? You fret and fuss, and wear your temper to a frazzle. Consider what professionals in business and industry do. Office managers and production supervisors, who can't afford to lose their cool, have found an answer to the problem of what to do with unidentified objects, and additionally, a simple way to convey important messages. They use tape label-making systems to organize supplies, identify equipment with correct operating instructions, and to post safety warnings. In many cases just the simple use of strategically-placed label tapes has paid off, according to Dymo Products Company which manufactures these systems, in more efficient use of equipment, improved employee relations, fewer wasted steps, and a curb in industrial accidents. Now, the idea of systematic organization has been adapted for home use. Dymo has developed a tiny tool called the Label-Ette that, like the bigger models used in industrial applications, produces color ful, easy-to-read embossed labels. You simply click out the letters you imprinted on precut strips of vinyl tape. The tape strips can then be applied to anything that requires a quick, permanent identification. A few of the uses around the house: in the kitchen to identify spice cannisters; in the linen closet to save time in locating the correct size sheets and towels; for posting emergency telephone numbers; instructions of how to change a fuse or circuit breaker; organizing the family workshop. Youngsters, especially those just learning to spell; can print their own personalized labels to identify their toys, books, clothing, sporting equipment. While similar in principle to the more complex versions used in industry, the inexpensive Label-Ette is completely safe even for the youngsters, and a snap to use. Mealtime Magic — Hobo Hamburgers The outdoor grill is sizzling, the picnic table is set, and the guests are ready to eat. Then—rain! What started out as a chef's dream becomes a scene of mass confusion. Hot coals sputter to a soggy mass of ashes, and everything's rushed inside. The weatherman can scotch even the best-planned cookouts. To avoid disappointment and inconvenience, plan a cook-in, skillfully researched in Alcoa Wrap Test Kitchens. Summertime foods, cooked in handy, disposable aluminum foil, can retain all the zest and flavor associated with outdoor cooking, and can be prepared leisurely without fear of getting water-logged by inclement weather. For your cook-in, try this delightful new eating twist from Margaret Mitchell's Mealtime Magic Cookbook — the hobo hamburger. All you need is: Mix together ground round steak, salt, pepper; divide into four portions; form into patties; brown in butter (do not cook through) and reserve the drippings. Place one patty in the center of each of four 18-inch squares heavyduty Alcoa Wrap; gather foil loosely around meat and top each patty with slices of tomato, potato, onion, ¼ package frozen mixed vegetables and ½ can sliced mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and pour one tablespoon drippings over top. Close foil around food sackfashion, allowing the ends to flare out like a hobo's knapsack and place on baking sheet. Bake '1½ hours at 350* F for four delicious servings. The hobo theme may be carried out by using a foil hobo sack with fruit in it: bandannas for napkins and place mats. Twenty minutes before the hobo hamburgers are done, place foil-wrapped dinner rolls in the oven to be heated. For an easy dessert with a touch of coconut, whip up a batch of chocolate sticks while your hoboes are baking. The ingredients are: Cream the butter then add sugar gradually, continuing to cream until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs, salt, vanilla; beat well and gradually add flour; mix thoroughly. Fold in chocolate bits and toasted coconut. Fold two 36-inch pieces of heavy-duty Alcoa Wrap in half lengthwise; make a pleated pan by folding foil crosswise in one-inch pleats or troughs; open slightly to fit baking sheet approximately 17 inches by 14 inches. Drop level teaspoonful of dough into "troughs" in the pan abouttwo inches apart; do not use two outer troughs. Bake 25-30 minutes in 325° F; cool five minutes: pull edges of foil to flatten pleats; loosen sticks from foil. This simple recipe will yield four dozen cresentshaped sticks.

It's Our American Privilege to REGISTER and VOTE Dining Out: Third Dimension In Foreign Travel If you are planning to travel abroad on your next vacation, American Express suggests fairing dining-out one of the highlights of your trip. Sampling regional food specialties can be more than a delightful adventure in dining — it can truly enhance your appreciation of the country and its people. Since the heritage of every country is reflected in its cuisine, familiarity with national dishes and distinctive ways of serving them is one of the things that make travel abroad rewarding. Every country has its traditional delicacies, and in many provincial restaurants the flavor of the region is often captured in the local costumes, folk music and dancing. American Express presents a few tips for becoming an international epicure: 1. Don't hesitate to ask the waiter what the specialties of the house are. Also what wines he recommends to accompany the dishes. 2. Check on the dining hours since they vary from country to country. Don't expect instant service in every case —many dishes are cooked to order. 4. Make it a hobby to "collect" internationally known restaurants or off-beat bistros where ancient traditions flourish. Collect books on foreign foods and wine to add an international flavor to home entertaining and cooking. Many are fascinating travel books as well. 6. Shop for colorful table accessories to complement the recipes you may collect along your travels. 7. Do a little reading "home work" on the countries you'll be visiting, their native specialties and dinning customs. Among the stimulating and informative books on the aesthetics of gastronomy and culinary sojourning are the following: Massee's Wine-Food Index by William E. Massee (McGraw-Hill), more than 11,000 entries on famed national and regional dishes, fine wines and restaurants throughout the world; the Alitalia Book of Authentic Italian Cooking by Barbara Stacy (Thomas Y. Crowell), over 100 recipes; Contemporary French Cooking by Waverly Root and Richard de Rochemont, two wellknown journalists and devotees of French cuisine (Random House), more than 400 dishes, hors d'oeuvres to desserts, and glossary of cooking terms; The Wonder of Food by K. Cyrus Melikian and Lloyd K. Rudd (Appleton-Century-Crofts). Of interest to amateur gourmets as well as experts are: The Fine Art of Chinese Cooking by Dr. Lee Su Jan (Bobbs Merrill), the philosophy and art of over 22 centuries of Oriental cooking, containing more than 200 recipes and menus adapted to the American kitchen and supermarket; Menus for Gourmets by Andre L. Simon (Herbert Jenkins, London); The Wine Country of France by Edward Hyams (J. B.
