Arcades Inviting
The next morning was sup

urally, we went shopping. We
also got lost because my mother
and aunt wanted to explore the
back alleys with their inviting
arcades.
In the afternoon, we took the
bus ride from Kyoto to Kobe.

Night fell as we rode on

After an evening Of watching
American television - Perry
Mason, as I recall-with Japa-
nese subtitles, we climbed
aboard the bus to catch the
sleeper for Kyoto.
Japan has some fancy tour
list trains, particularly the one
from Tokyo to Nikko where the
doors open automatically and
the seats swing around for a
window view. The sleeper we
took was not one Of the fancy
ones. In fact, 1t was pretty
informal. The women were
put in one sleeper where they
could undress in the aisles.
Presumably the men we're do
ing the same thing in their
sleeping car. The road bed
was comparable to the WASH
lngton-New York track so we
bumped through the night.
Shortly after 8 am, we
reached Kyoto and - after a
brief stop to eat breakfast and
check in at the hotel-we were
off for a morning Of sight
seeing.
Padding around in our stock
ing feet, we saw a hall packed
with a thousand gilded bud
dhas. At least, the guide said
there were q thousand. We
didn't have time to count be-
fore we were off again to visit
a castle where the floors
creaked under our shoeless feet.

How To Keep Colors Of
Vegetables Bright When
Cooking
by AMY MACKAY

Dy ANIL MANNA1
The method of cooking depends
upon the color and flavor of the
vegetables. Vegetables fall into
four groups-green, yellow, red
and white. Each color must be
considered by itself.
Green Vegetables
l. Cook in as little water as
you can.
2. Cook with the lid off-at
least for the first few minutes
to let mild acide escape with the
steam. These acids cause discol-
grafton.
8. Cook as quickly as possible.
Too much heat causes discolora-
ton.
4. Do not add acids such as
lemon juice or vinegar. Acids
turn green vegetables a disagree
able brown.
5. Do not add baking soda.
Soda destroys vitamins and flavor
and it gives an undesirable tex
ture.
Yellow Vegetables
l. Cook in enough water to
prevent scorching. If you like, you
can use enough water to cover the
vegetables.
2. Cook with the lid on. If the
vegetable is strong favored, leave
the lid off.
3. Do not overlook. The vege-
tables may darken if you let the
natural sugar in the juice caramel
ize or scorch.
Red Vegetables
l. Cook in moderate amount of
sailed water.
=. COOK with the lid on.
3. Cook only until just done.
Beets-peel after cooking ex-
cept when baking or panning.
Red Cabbage-Add a little
vinegar or lemon juice, to keep
the red color.
White Vegetables
l. Cook in enough sailed water
to-cover the vegetables.
2. Cook with the lid on. If
the vegetable is strong favored,
cook with the lid off.
3. Cook until just tender.
Long cooking aand the miner
ais in some water can make
white vegetables turn dark.
Cook until just tender to keep
them white. You can add a
little acid ~ teaspoon of lemon
juice or vinegar, or rs teaspoon
cream of tartar OF each cup of
cooking liquid) to help keep the
vegetable white.

1t remains now for us to
realize that the future is very
near at hand. This can readily
be seen when we consider the
fact that this graduating class
can boast of once having had

now teachers, clerks, and en-

We must realize then, the on

days Of complete dependence,

When thinking of the future
of these islands, it is impossi-
bic to ignore what the adults
have done for us. During the
past ten years, which is about
all that most of us can account
for, we witnessed so many
radical changes that it would
be futile to even attempt to
enumerate them. However, we
can make reference to a few
that are most apparent in day
to day occurrences.
We have seen these islands
changing by leaps and bounds
and expect the changes to
continue. Our homeland is now
almost completely democratic
and progressive. We have seen
the government structure

the people. Gone Ito a large

Pere Jimenez, pudgy

fought q delaying action today

Iona Marta Lorenz, 90
