Here is a simple demonstration that
points the way to cleaner, cooler cooking.
See that'smoke from the cigarette?
Smoke also comes from broiling foods.
For as they cook, fats burn and smoke.
[The high heat does it —
whether it is flame or non-flame Broiling.
See any smoke above the flame? There isn’t any
because it was consumed by the flame.
And you don’t have any when you broil with gas.-
In gas ranges, as in this demonstration,
the flame consumes the smoke.
Moreover, flame broiling is cooler,
for the broiler door is kept tightly closed
during broiling process.
Only gas broils without smoking ...

Just how concerned are we
about major issues of national and
international scope? The Van-
couver Sun wanteff“to find out
whether anyone was reading
stories on the Korean war. So it
ran the same dispatch on the
front page three days in a row.
What happened? Nothing. Not
one of the Sun’s 500,000 readers
phoned to check the “error”. Yet
the editors pointed out, whenever
a comic strip or feature column
is dropped, the switchboard is
deluged with calls from irate
readers. '*
