Strawberry Cheesecake is a summer favorite

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor In the 1940 s a well-known Broadway restaurant in New York City became famous for its cheesecake. The dessert was described by restaurant critics of the day as “high and handsome... with great flavor and lightness... the finest in town." Since then, from all signs, cheesecake mania has gradually overtaken America. At the moment, on my bookshelves, are three hardbound books and an equal number of booklets given over entirely to cheesecake recipes. And I doubt there are any regional cookbooks, assembled by various groups for charitable purposes, that do not include at least one cheesecake recipe. For some time I have been looking for a cheesecake recipe that would produce the “flavor and lightness” of the old Broadway restaurant variety. Finally, a friend found it for us. At a recent bridal shower for her daughter, this paragon of cheesecakes was served and the recipe freely given. The favorite topping for the old Broadway restaurant’s cheesecake was fresh strawberries. This recipe follows suit. STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE V 4 cup butter l cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs U 4 cups sugar Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature IL2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons grated orange rind 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vrnilla 3 large eggs

Labs detail the proper way to utilize light

By BARBARA MAYER AP Newsfeatures Life on Earth would be impossible to sustain without light. Yet, an understanding of how to employ lighting for optimum visual clarity is at rather a low level in which untested observations and prejudices are the rule. The days of guess work appear to be numbered, however, since lighting designers are beginning to systematically test their practices in the lighting laboratory. Though there are only a few such laboratories, their use is expected to grow. One of the newest lighting laboratories is at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. The lab was designed by Douglas Baker and opened in 1983. Installed in a ceiling grid in the 1,800-square-foot room are examples of many of the lighting fixtures now available. The lights are run by a computer program (also developed by Baker) and can be turned on and off by computer to demonstrate the differences between incandescent, fluorescent, and high intensity discharge lights. A lighting laboratory is a far cry from a home or office. A stark room whose ceiling is open to reveal the type of electrical connections and mounting necessary for the various fixtures, the laboratory is an almost disturbingly ugly room. Along the sides of the large barn-like room lean panels of various textures and colors. In one area, small boxes line a wall; each is covered with an identical piece of printed fabric, and a different type of fight can be shone into each box. This makes it possible to demoastrate the effects of light on colors. Despite its lack of visual appeal, this room helps professional designers study the effect of light, which will in turn lead to more comfortable, efficient and beautiful living and working spaces. The lab is used to train design students at the school. It is also the setting for seminars for working professionals. Recently, for example, it accommodated working designers and architects in a two-day course presented by Alexander F. Styne, an industrial designer who is currently an instructor at the University of Miami on the subject of lighting and color. Styne and the designers considered how to enlist what is currently known about the ways in which human beings see to improve the lighting in public and private spaces. He told the designers fluorescent lights and high intensity discharge lights (such as metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps) are likely to become the workhorses of design in the future. With the resources ot tne laboratory, the students were able to compare the effect of incandescent light with

various formulations of fluorescent lighting within the same room. The demonstration indicated that deluxe warm-white fluorescent light comes closest to reproducing the effects of incandescent light among the widely available types of fluorescent bulbs. An even better type of fluorescent is what Styne called a triphospher bulb. It has been manufactured under different trade names, such as “Ultralume.” The bulb is widely used in Western Europe, but is not wellknown in the United States, according to Styne. It is quite costly compared to other fluorescent bulbs’ According to Styne, the existing lighting laboratories (often on college

campuses) have already helped experts establish some general lighting principles. These include the fact that good color rendition improves vision. Consequently it is important to strive for lighting that enhances colors. Another point is that an increase in the level of light can compensate for the loss of visual acuity which begins to occur at about 20 and progresses with age. The human eye is always attracted to the brightest object in the field of vision. That’s why some colors can be distracting in a room in which concentration on a task is required. Advancing colors such a bright orange or red seems to leap out and distract one, if

Septic tank needs regular cleaning

Bv ANDY LANG AP Newsfeatures Q. We were told we would have no trouble with the plumbing system in our new house because the owner had replaced the cesspool with a modern septic tank. It was important to us because we had so much trouble with the cesspool in our previous house. Now, we find we are having similar trouble and must have the septic tank pumped out, just as we did with the cesspool. Were we wrong in thinking this kind of trouble would not occur with a septic tank? A. Yes. Pumping out a septic tank is sometimes necessary. Waste material in a septic tank is decomposed gradually by bacteria, but solid materials which are nondegradable do not decompose. When enough accumulates, it must be pumped out professionally. You can lengthen the period between the pumpings if everyone in the household knows which materials do not belong in a toilet or sink. You can get a list of these materials by writing to the Small Homes Council, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, One East Saint Mary’s Road, Champaign, IL 61820 or the University of Minnesota, Agricultural Extension Service, 3 Coffey Hall, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108. Q. I enjoyed your article about log homes some time ago and your recent one about steel-framed houses. One thing I did not see was the kind of wood that is superior when building a log home or having it built. A. Different types of wood have different characteristics, so it is very difficult to select one as superior for a log home. The most common species used include cedar, pine, fir, spruce and cypress. Each can be used to con-

they are used on the walls of the room. Even receding colors such as blue and green can have an advancing effect if they are very bright and appear against a neutral background of lower brightness. One experiment concluded that rooms with cool-toned light cause people to underestimate room temperature and level of background noise and to overestimate the size of the room. Under warm-toned lighting, however, people tend to underestimate the size of the room while overestimating the amount of background noise and the room temperature.
