Butcherbird

The North American shrike. COM
monty known as the butcherbird,
gets its nickname for the unusual
manner in which it kills its prey. A
Shrike captures small birds, mice,
and grasshopperS in its strong beak
and then forces them onto thorns,
fence barbs. or broken twigs, in the
same manner a butcher hangs meat
on hooks.

ready also blue-and-white kimo-
nos for her guests.
The menu for the dinner may
be made up of many dishes and
courses. Certain to be included,
however, is the traditional Suki-
yaki. or "hekka," as it is known in
Hawaii. Sukiyaki, a combination
Of chicken or beef and vegetables
in sauce, is prepared with much
ceremony over a charcoal brazier
at the table. The tantalizing
aroma of the cooking dish leases
the appetites of the guests, who
are seated on cushions around the
low table. The cooking period is
brief and the perfectly combined
Observation-Disclosures mixture is
served in small lacquer bowls to
be eaten deftly with chopsticks.
Since Sukiyaki Is prepared at
the table. the vegetables and meat
are sliced in advance and artfully
arranged on a large chop plate or
platter, ready for the table-cook-
ing ceremony. Americanized ver-
sions Of this traditional dish may
include thin slices of green beans
and slivered carrots in place of
more dificult-to-find Japanese
vegetables. These are added to
a heavy skillet little at a time
and cooked with small amounts Of
sauce. Since the secret of the
goodness of the dish is the crisp
ness Of the vegetables, care must
be taken to avoid overlooking.
Several servings of Sukiyaki.

The Chef
Says

There has been quite a spate Of
new books on cookery reaching
my desk lately for review. These,
naturally, are selected to be Of
interest primarily to the amateur
male cook and gourmet, and to
the bright women who believe in
catering to the man of the house
in the way he wishes to be catered
to-.
For instance, few women would
feel that a whole book about
onions and nothing else would be
Of absorbing interest. A man, on
the other hand, would find much
within its covers to enjoy and file
for future use. Just such a book
is Onions Without Tears" by
Jean Boutwell,. published by Hast.
ings House. $2.75 per copy. This is
a delightful collection Of facts and
recipes that include the members
Of the lily family-onions, seal
lions, leeks, chives and garlic.
There is chapter on the fun
damentalS Of onion cookery, and
an especially fascinating one
called 1.-THE Onion Abroad" which
gives you a fine lot of foreign
recipes. The regular recipes are
interesting and well presented. A
final chapter cites some little
known facts-that there is an
Onion River in Vermont, and
LOignon in Burgundy. The pos
session of a set of Delft ware In
the famous Meissen onion design
was a sure standard Of the owners
social position in Germany in the
old days. Europe and Russia are
dotted with old churches with
onion shaped domes. Hindu priests
in South India were not permitted
to eat onions, and widows were
also forbidden to eat them.
Another charmer of q book is.
actually, a reprint, but a fascinat-
ing one. Cooking with An Ac-
cent" The Herb Growers Cook
book, by Isabella Gaylord. The
Herb Grower Press, Falls Village,
Conn, $3.50, is a treasure trove Of
excellent recipes using herbs, and
bits Of history and folklore about
these darlings Of the garden. The
books cover is of yellow plastic,
can be wiped with a damp cloth,
and 1t is bound with special rings
to enable it to lie fiat when in use.
Each Of the important culinary
herbs has a chapter unto itself,
with provocative headings such as
High Thyme" (Which, inciden-
tally, includes a Pink Salad
Dressing" that is out of this world,
"Mints without Stint" "Bit Play

This article Is the fourth OF a
Monday series on tDomen and
GginU.J
The first lecture of the Uni
versity Of Michigan's first course
in aging and living was over.
Three gentlemen around 10
years old, one walking with the
aid Of a cane, one q hunchback
and the other in good health,
made their way to the speakers
platform.
They had a question, they said.
Did 1t not seem reasonable that
they should bow out Of life and
make more room for the young
folks?
Some form Of mercy killing
for the aged Is not in the thoughts
Of these men today, apparently.
They no longer feel like the pa
thetic last leaf upon the tree" OF
Oliver Wendell Holmes poem. All
three of them are reported to have
regained interest In life, and en-
thuSiaSm for 1t. One is married.
Another has revived the singing he
forsook after early adulthood. An
other is making a point Of service
and, among other things, cares
for widows lawns on q volunteer
basis.

the forthcoming National Con-
ference on Aging, was director o1

gan when the exciting pioneer
course In aging was established ir

versity. AS the course was de.
veloped by the institute, the topics
were designed to provide specific
information for immediate use ir
connection with current individual
problems, to give a philosophy OF
aging, and to afford some under
standing of the relationship of the
satisfaction Of the needs Of older
people to the community and So
ciety. The course covered eight
broad fields of information -
biological aging, psychological
changes, maintenance of physical
and mental health, living arrange
ments, creative activities, religion
social and economic security, and
legal problems.
Certainly one Of the more strik-
ing outcomes Of the course, Mr.
TibbittS believes, lay in the eager
ness with which many accepted
the dictum that older people
should not be shelved, rather thai
they should remain continually
functioning members of the com.
munity. exercising their capaci.
ties. and living fully to the end.

A similar program Is carried on
during the winter time. For ap-
proximately 100 weeks this group
has continued to meet. The foun-
ders brought their friends, and the
membership now totals 100. Three
marriages, incidentally, grew out
Of this group.
Interesting is the point the
course planners made in designat-
ing creative activities" rather
than hobbies, as one Of the eight
categories in the Michigan course.
A creative activity, Mr.. Tibbitts
pointed out, is one that does some-
thing for some one-it Is not
busy work" 1t truly satisfies the
personality Of a person and stim-
ulates the imagination. The
development of a secondary acti-
vity," that may or may not be
remunerative. is important to all
Of us these days, he added. Not
only is it of value in old age when
making a livelihood no longer con-
sumes the major portion of the
day, but the shortened work week
leaves us all with leisure time to
be Interestingly spent.
To the classroom as guests were
invited older people who had de-
veloped just such a satisfying ac-
tivity Also, the students were in.
troduced to places and persons in
the community where various arts,
crafts and skills were taught. The
topics suggested for such activities
included recreation and education
through motion pictures, art,
drama. and other mediums, ere
ativeness through the arts and
crafts, and community participa-
ton through reading and listen
ing and through actual engage
ment In community affairs.
/ The lecture on legal matters
proved very important, the course
planners discovered. The older
women, with money at their dis
posal, felt their inability to handle
1t wisely, and welcomed the in
formation.

A spokesman for the Graduate
School reported that the various
aspects Of aging, as well as plan
ming for aging, will be covered in
the lectures. The series was in
spired by requests originating
among retired Agriculture en-
ployes. Should sufficient interest
be indicated. the school would
