This year let's plan an after Easter dinner we'll in advance of the day and choose foods that are easily prepared.
 The foods selected should be of a type that requires little or no at- tention during the cooking period, and still be typical of the season.
 Ham has long been a favorite Easter meat, and this year it will be even more popular. Did you know that it is no longer necessary to parboil or soak ham and that the ham may be cooked nj the oven during the entire cooking pe- riod?
 Wash the whole ham or ham butt, place it in a baking pan and pour over sufficient hot water to cover bottom of pan. Adjust cov- CT and place in a moderate oven, $50 degrees F. allowing 20 minutes to the pound. When ham is half done remove from oven. take off rind. One cup of fruit juice may be poured over the ham if desired. Then return to oven and continue baking covered. If fruit juice has been added, haste the ham fre- quently. Remove the ham from the oven 3-4 of an hour before baking period is completed, rub ham with brown sugar, dot with

 But let's get down to prose, al though there's nothing prosy about a better breakfast. Here's one for q morning of bitter weather when you need the proteins of meat, the heat of oatmeal and the filling qualities of baked potatoes to help
