1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
6-7 cups flour

Place yeast, water and sugar
in a small bowl. Allow to stand
several minutes until bubbly.
In a large mixer bowl place
eggs, oil, sugar, nondairy cream-
er, vanilla and grated lemon peel.
Add yeast mixture. Add flour un-

Roll out dough 112-inch thick

NOTE: To test if dough is
ready for rolling, place a small
piece in a glass of water. If the
dough floats to the top, it is ready.

#41) Jewish Art Week falls
each year with Shabbat
Vayakhel, the Torah portion cit-
ing the artists who helped build
the mishkan, the tabernacle con-
taining the Ark of the Covenant.
Shabbat Vayakhel in 1995 begins
Friday, Feb. 24.
In honor of Jewish Art Week,
why not create fun Jewish art
projects of your own. Some ideas:
* Make Chagall-like stained-
glass windows by cutting shapes
into black construction paper,
then filling the spaces with mul-
ticolored pieces of tissue paper.
* Jewish artist Camille Pis-
sarro (1830-1903) was an Im-
pressionist born in the West
Indies. Find a book of his works,
then use colored chalk to create
a faux Pissarro on your sidewalk
or driveway.
* Challenge family and friends
to design a new stamp for Israel.
* Create a mosaic like those
found during excavations on an-
cient synagogues in Israel. Tear
various colors of construction pa-
per into tiny squares, then
arrange into a design and glue on
cardboard.

3M Programmable
Hearing Aids

If you wear hearing aids, chances are you would like to hear and
understand better. And by coming in for a free demonstration of
3M Programmable Hearing Aids, you may be able to do just that.
Because 3M Programmable Hearing Aids aren't like ordinary
hearing aids. They contain a tiny computer chip that is programmed
by your hearing professional, who adjusts the instrument to fit your
individual hearing loss.
These adjustments are made within the different sound settings
for the listening environments you live with every day. For example,
one setting may be geared for the office, another for restaurants,
and yet another can help you hear one-on-one conversations.
To reach the setting you want, you simply press a single button
on the hearing aid. And there are no remote controls to carry. 3M
Programmable Hearing Aids automatically adjust incoming sounds
within each setting, helping to keep loud sounds more comfortable
and soft sounds easier to hear. And,
should your hearing needs ever
3M Innovation
change, your hearing professional can
reprogram them while you wait.
Despite what you may have heard,
no hearing aid can completely elim-
inate background noise or give you
the hearing you had as a teenager.
But many people can benefit from us-
ing hearing aids. To find out if 3M
