Home Hints
Barbecue fans should
consider grilling less tender
steaks if the price of porterhouse
is too high for the food budget.
Harold Neigh, consumer
economics specialist of
Pennsylvania State University
says moderately tender steaks
are those from the sirloin tip,
top round and blade chuck.
Least tender steaks which may
need tenderizing come from the
bottom round, eye of the round
and arm chuck.
BETTY C AN ARY
Knight Sides with Road ‘Dragons’
By BETTY CANARY
There has been much ado about legislation allowing an
increase in the size of trucks. States still have the right
to set size and weight limits under federal minimums. I
thought it would be well to get a trucker’s opinion on
whether bigger behemoths should be allowed on the na
tion’s highways.
“You’re Andy O’Connor?” I asked the driver.
“My friends call me Axles,” he said.
“I see. Do you think it wise to put even heavier trucks
on the road?”
“Some people call me Knight of the Open Road.”
“Just answer the question, please.”
“Sounds great to me,” he said. “Bigger trucks would
definitely speed up the traffic flow.”
Glancing at the expressway, where cars were scurrying
along before trucks like mice before elephants, I had to
agree with him. Give the average American motorist a
chance to escape and he’s going to TRY.
“It is my opinion,” I said politely, “that heavier trucks
would benefit nobody but the trucking companies.”
“According to the American Trucking Association, an
increase in truck width would permit marked improvement
in stability and additional length would make it possible
to build safer trucks.”
“Safer for whom?” I asked.
“Look at it this way,” Axles said. “How many people
complain about the length and width of a train?”

No Specific Benefits
Os Sauna Baths Evident
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
Q—Health clubs and many
modern apartment houses
now provide saunas. What
benefits do they have for a
healthy adult? How helpful
are they in reducing weight?
Will they relieve sinus con
gestion?
A—There is no evidence
that they provide any specif
ic benefits. Any such device
that claims to benefit skin
diseases or the effects of
aging is liable to seizure by
the Food and Drug Adminis
tration.
As for weight reduction, it
is true that your weight will
be less after than it was be
fore taking a sauna bath but
the loss represents water,
not fat. and unless you suffer

“Well, not many of us drive on train tracks,” I pointed
out.
“Look at the sign on my truck,” he said.
“Flammable!” I read.
“Not THAT one!”
I looked again. Another sign said, “This vehicle pays
$4,870 in road taxes annually.”
“How much is $4,870 in cement?” I asked.
“You’re one of those!” he said disgustedly. “You’re
going to complain that we tear up the roads!”
“You’ll have to admit—trains don’t.”
“But,” he asked slyly, “do railroad engineers blink their
lights to tell you when it’s safe to pass?”
“Again—l never drive down the tracks.”
“0.K.! How about picking out good places to eat? Don’t
you know everybody says ‘Truckers know the best places
to eat’?”
“I’d prefer talking about accident statistics,” I said.
“According to the American Automobile Association, heavy
trucks account for 1.54 per cent of total registrations, drive
only 5.33 per cent of all miles of travel, but were involved
in 11.6 per cent of fatal accidents.”
He drove away while I was talking. The last I saw of
Axles, he was hitting the air brakes and easing his truck
in between two others. One was labeled Wide Load. The
other, Explosives.
