have pictured is a broiler
dinner 1t includes meat
patties surrounded by broiled
peach halves and tomatoes.
Mexican corn, peas and car
rots, mullins and coffee.
Each member of the class
mixed and shaped her own
meat cake and got it ready
TO be placed on the broiler
rack. First, the corn was
placed in the bottom pan,
then the meat cakes placed
on the rack above. The min
ute minder was set for 8 min
uteS, and one member of the
group assigned to turning the
cakes at the proper time. The
remainder of the meal was
prepared on a cooperative
basis. While one person set
about stirring up the mullins,
another scraped carrots, some
one else shelled peas and
measured out the coffee.
1t was a lively class. Such
fun they had asking ques-
tions, at the same time be-
coming familiar with the size,
shape and form of the equip
ment used. For example, the
Wide-bladed tongs used to
turn the meat patties were
passed around until each per-
son had identified them. 1t
was amazing to a sighted per-
son how quickly they went
about devising technique of
their own in getting job
done.

7 eoching the Blind To Cook

1T WAS A new venture for
l. both teacher and students
"a class in cooking for the
usually handicapped. Mem
bers of the group knew little
about cooking; their instruc-
tor had no previous expert
ence in teaching the blind.
To Miss Cora Fitton, in
structor in Braille and crafts
at Columbia Polytechnic In
stitute for the Blind, goes
credit for the idea. Among
her sightless friends, she
knew, were some who were
making wedding plans. In
setting up new homes, she felt.
they would be needing the
experience of handling food.
Through the combined efforts
of Miss Fitton, Miss Elizabeth
Hong, social worker at the
institute, and Miss Ruth Shell
don, home service director
for the Washington Gas Light
Co., such a class was organized.
Four sessions were set up as
an initial experiment, with
classes held one evening a
week in the auditorium of the
utility company. Two types
of ranges were used, one with
automatic lighting, the other
without. Different types of
cooking were taught, such as
use of the broiler, oven baking
and surface cooking. The
plans called for the prepara-
ton of a complete meal at
each session. The meal we

The construction Of the
broiler pan was likewise eX-
planned, and the slotted rack
on which the food was to be
placed examined. 1t was eX-
planned the slots or holes in
the rack allowed the fat to
drain through to the pan be-
low and prevent smoking,
Before starting to work. each
member is provided with a
set of lesson plans, written in
Braille. This the work Of
Miss Fitton.
All the equipment and
appliances used are standard
models. At their first lesson
they were taught the tech
nique of operating the ranges.
Sensitive fingers quickly learn
the off and on positions and
the temperature controls.
With the exception of
Jeanne Trainor. who is a
senior at St. Patrick's Acad-
emy, the group are employed
at full-time jobs. Miss Max
inc Bates and Mrs. Bernice
Brown are Braille instructors
at the Library of Congress
and Miss Catherine Miley
works at the Veterans Ad-
ministration.
For the sighted, these pic
lures show the facility with
which they go about preparing
q wholesome, Well-balanced
meal, providing them with
still another skill to lick the

The right side and knee have moved into the

the hands gone out after the ball, as they

A The President is now blasting out of a
bunker, and surprisingly enough, in view
of the fact that this is difficult type of shot
to make, his technique here is practically
perfect.
Perhaps President Eisenhower has spent
lot of time in sand traps.
Whatever the explanation is, in this photo
his feet are absolutely fiat in the sand, which
is correct bunker technique; his head has not
moved, and he has hit right through the ball in
the orthodox manner. In this picture would
