ppealing after all the hours
ost of us spent up to our
Ibows in Christmas
cooking.

. Rosemary Kenningham
s gotten a mouth-watering
ight-week program
together that ensures you a
future of confident,
pleasurable cotertaining.
You'll discover that gourmet
dishes aren't necessarily the
most intricate. Everyone has
to cook at some time or
another and even if cooking
isn't your favorite thing, if
you're going to do it at all,
why not have the satisfaction
of doing a few marvellous
dishes well? Imagine being

ST. LOUIS (UPI)-Most
organizations for the obese
devote their time to
discussing their weighty
problems but members of
the Chub Club are more
intent on fun.

Barbara Block, president
of the St. Louis-area Chub
Club, said the 30 or so
members already have been
shunned by a society that
places a value on thinness,
so their meetings are aimed
at bolstering sagging egos.

Block even met her
fiance, Bruce Finkelstein, at
a Chub Club dance.

“As soon as I came im, a
girl came up and asked me to
dance.” Finkelstein said.
“I've been in so many single
clubs. They all treat you the
same.

“If you aren't tall, dark
and handsome, the giris
don't pay attention to you.
When I joined this club, it
was different.”

Finkelstein had no trouble
getting Block's attention.

“He was so quiet and
adorable.” she said of the
rotund postal worker

“You gotta watch them,”

said Helen Trost, the club's

flan, an almond jalousie, tha
wonderful Greek spana-
kopita, stuffed peppers, or
coq au vin.

And it isn’t only the dishes
you'll concentrate on. In-
structor Rosemary em-
phasizes that the course is
intended to make entertain-
ing enjoyable, with dishes
you can make ahead and
many you can freeze so that
the prospect of having guests
doesn’t loom darkly as zero
hour approaches. The eighth
week brings a party for a
whing ding to wind things
up. This all takes place at
Windsor, on Tuesdays, from
7:00 to 9:30.

gourmet cook and want to
do something different in the

sister. “They're liable to go
into a clinch at = any
moment.”

Although the club doesn't
concentrate on the mem-
bers’ all-too-obvious
problems, Sherry Collins,
the group’s public relations
director, said she often hears
complaints about job
discrimination against fat
people.

“Big people are just that
— people — and we intend
to be treated like that,”
Collins said. “For too long,
we have let society treat us
as second-class citizens.”

Now weighing in the upper
200s after losing 130 pounds
through surgery. the neatly
dressed Collins said weight
discrimination keeps her
unemployed.

“Employers think if a
person can't control his
cating habits, his life is out of
control,” she said. “That's
not truce.”

When you think about all the
special days and birthdays
that are ahead of you for the
rest of your lives, this course
could almost be classified as
an investment. The trick is
to get good enough to be
able to do everything you
want to for your own family,
but not so good that all your
friends and relations want
you to do theirs, too!

The Chub Club sponsors
social events such = as
bowling, dancing and picnics
but the big topic at the latest
buisness meeting — at a
pizza parlor — was a dinner-
dance and fashion show.

Richard Hubbard, 28, a
medica! lab technician, was
attending a meeting for the
first time and was so im-
pressed he joined the club.

“They have a nice, steady,
social calendar so I shouldn't
have a boring weekend,”
said Hubbard.

“I've been fat all my life
and [ve been treated like a
freak. I like being treated
like a human.”
