I EXTENDED ALPHABET
IS ENGLISH IMPORT
A NEW 43-ietter alphabet
developed in England to speed
children’s reading comprehen
sion will be given its first U. S.
tryout this fall. First graders
in Bethlehem, Pa. schools will
be exposed to the “Augmented
Roman Alphabet” in a program
developed by the Reading and
Speech Clinic at Lehigh Uni
versity. The new system uses
24 of the 26 traditional letters
plus 19 new ones which, Lehigh
says, are compatible with tradi
tional print. Missing are Q and
X. While the English alphabet
uses 26 letters for 40 speech
sounds, the new one provides
one letter for each sound.
Youngsters in England have
taken words such as “liebrary,”
‘‘windoe” and “muther” in
stride and then switched to the
standard spellings with ease.
QUEEN BEES are not really

FISHING around for a good

Q What dooes the term
“over-run” mean?
A. The air that is stirred in
to ice cream is called “over
run.” Sometimes this over-run
is as much as 90 to 100 percent
of the volume. In these cases,
about one-half of a quart of
ice cream might be air. But if
the ice cream mixture was just
frozen, it would be almost like
an ice cube. The air which is
whipped or stirred into the ice
cream mix makes it a smooth,
light product. It’s much the
same as air whipped into cream
to make whipped cream.
Q. My neighbor says sherbert
has about as many calories as
ice cream. Is this true?
A. Contrary to the common
notion, sherbert has just as
many calories as ice cream.
Here's why. About twice as
much sugar is used in sherbert.

The fat content is only one per
cent and the nonfat milk solids
about four percent. But sher
bert has an “over-run” of only
about 30 to 40 percent so there
are just as many calories.
Q. What is Ice Milk?
A. Ice milk is similar to ice
cream but it has less butterfat.
Ice milk has less than ten per
cent butterfat. However, ice
