Jain youngsters of Central Ohio are studying lessons of Samayik actively. The interactive and participatory way of instruction was enthusiastically received as evidenced by several questions asked by the students during the first three lessons. The lessons are very short (one can go through a lesson several times within five minutes). Parents can help motivate the youngsters to devote five minutes per day towards this worthy cause.
Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to join. With the invaluable help from our youth education volunteers, Nita, Charu and Urmish, the Center provides individual attention to every youngster who wants to learn Samayik. So you don't have to know everything that has been taught so far; just come with a desire to learn.
Some students have already recited the first three lessons. A $5.00 gift certificate (sponsored by Varsha ). Desai) was awarded to each of them on May 17.
Our special thanks to Sunder and Sharda Jain of Skokie, Nlinois for their generous contribution.
We have received to date in the first quarter a very meager amount of less than $1,500. We seek your earnest support so as to fulfill our mission.

But only rarely have books devoted to the vegetarian experience been published. Life After Beef: Reflections of a Vegetarian is such a book.
Becoming a vegetarian, its problems and pleasures, while a highly personal experience, is one worthy of wider sharing. In Life After Beef, author Les Inglis shares his experiences as he and his wife made the switch from a traditionaldiet to a strict vegetarian diet overnight. They wrestled with label reading at the supermarket, searched for restaurants with something they could eat, learned more about ethnic foods, and became active with local animal and vegetarian groups. Obviously enjoying the (continued on page 15)
