Select Your Dry Cleaner With Care Did you select your dry cleaner as carefully as you did a doctor? IN THE CASE of your do- cleaner the health of your pocketbook is involved when good looks of your clothing are damaged. For this reason, it is wise to look for a shop noted for giving top service at reasonable prices. Sen-ice is the keynote of a good dry cleaner. In large communities the bulk of the actual cleaning and pressing is done by a mammoth dry cleaning concern. It is the personal service and individual care neighborhood cleaner gives your clothes that make the difference.

He also will deal with the commercial dry cleaner does good work. An in-depth study done for the National Institute of Dry Cleaning by the Institute of "Motivational Research. turned up some facts well-known by women or the family member who deals most with such service. According to the survey, we make three basic demands on our dry cleaners: We want to, feel he is on our side: we want our clothes to get individual attention, and we demand personal service. More people spend more money for dry cleaning than before.

And these people also move 1o new communities more often than their parents i This is why it is a good idea to have signposts to help select a dry cleaner in addition to checking with fellow employes and neighbors. Here are some to consider: THE LAWTON CONSTITUTION, Wednesday, October 17, 1965 What's Poofla-Pic? Bari, Timid In Role, Is Adventurous Cook General Appearance Neat, clean well-lighted do' cleaning stores and plants are a good indication that the operation is generally efficient.

FOR HER stage role is that of a timid widow with a delicate stomach and a horror of trying unusual foods. In real life, Miss Ban is a reckless adventurer with a taste for cooking and eating the most unusual and exotic dishes she can find in foreign cookbooks.

She is not opposed to good, standard American food, she says. Born in Roanoke and brought up in Lynchburg, until her family moved to Los Angeles when she was in her early teens, she learned in childhood to cook southern dishes so well that by the time she was married there was no challenge to preparing Dixie dishes and she looked for new worlds to conquer. She found them in French, Italian. Spanish, Armenian and Yiddish recipe books that fill a whole shelf in her kitchen--and then went on to invent a notebookful of own. ODDLY, her explorations into foreign cuisines never brought her to poofla-pie, kni- chi and other delicacies from Albania, but her part of the unadventurous Mrs.

Banks in "Barefoot in the Park" has done that. In her personal life. Lynn Bari would never hesitale-- as does the timorous Mrs. Banks she portrays in the comedj- tp try the canapes called knichis that are offered her by a gourmet-neighbor at her newly-married, daughter's first party. Mrs.

Banks pales comically when the epicure brings in a hot pan of mysterious looking little grey balls, looks at LYNN BARI a lasle for cooking his watch and says "We have just thirty seconds i they're edible," then ceremoniously removes the lid and says, "And, the last i seconds we just let them sit there and breath," then says "Now! The time element is essential, for the main ingredient spoils quickly." In this hilarious scene, this warning makes Mrs. Banks even more queasy. She timidly asks what the main ingredient is. The disclosure raakes the little grey spheres seem to Mrs. Banks even less inviting then before.

Miss Bari says this ingredient is a fish rarely eaten by Americans, but she won't tell what fish it is. "You have to come to see 'Barefoot' to find out," she says. Can it be whale? Octopus? Shark? Squid? Anyway, it's shredded, mixed with grated olives, half a dozen spices and onion biscuits and must be nibbled, or it tastes bitter. A PROPER epicure pops it right to the center of the tongue. Lynn Bari convulses her audience when she gaine- ly tries to pop a knichi, and chokes desperately from having popped it back too far.

Miss Bari's own recipes require no such elaborate ceremony of serving or consuming. In fact, simplicity is the keynote especially of the soup she calls "Zimple Zup." which she says is very refreshing in hot weather. This is made chiefly of well- chilled buttermilk, quart to serve four, into which are mixed cups of cubed cucumber, pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper, topped with a fairish lot of finely cut (with a scissors) fresh dill, chives or scallion- tops any one that may be preferred or be available, but only one of these flavorers. Another of her favorites, easy to make but good -is what she calls a Beverly Hills Casserole: Hand-blend in a mixing bowl Ib Freshly ground round steak, 4 beaten eggs. 1 pound of coarsely chopped spinach.

which all juice has been squeezed, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp. grated cheese; pul into a well-buttered casserole and bake in a moderate oven about 20 minutes until meat is well-done. "Everyone knows a French and Italian foods take on their bcsl flavor," says Miss Bari, "when cooked with wine, but not everybody knows that some of the best hearty foods can be cooked with beer." SHE REVEALED two beer- using recipes, passed on to her recently by friends, that sound very appetising. One is a German concoction called Beef Oberammergau: 2 Ibs. of onions sliced thin and sauteed in butter until golden brown.

3 Ibs. of chuck steak, cut in cubes, dredged in flour and browned quickly in hot fat. Add beef to onions with sail and pepper to taste, 2 cloves of garlic and 1 pint of beer, Cover and simmer about hours, or until meat is tender. Thicken with flour and butter kneaded together. Adjust, seasoning and serve six or more --with black bread and boiled potatoes.

Still another with beer is Roast Pork Dame Nature: Roast a loin of pork for 1 hour. Then add well-drained sauerkraut to cover. 1 peeled carrot cut in half, 3 bay- leaves. peppercorns. I whole apple and 6 oz.

of beer. Roast until pork is thoroughly cooked, adding more beer if necessary. The recipe Lynn Bari is curious to obtain is for the poofla-pie that is the main course of the adventurous dinner in "Darefoot in the Park." Miss Bari suspects it's just a joke of playwright iVeil Simon, a made-up name with no recipe behind it. When he returns from his present trip lo Rome to altend the filming of one of his stories there, she intends to corner him and insist (hat he reveal what's in a poofla-pie or invent a recipe to fit its wacky name.
