meat points to get s.zeable nam

rigerator and kept till spring.

ture of two pounds of sugar. two
pounds Of salt and liz ounce Of
saltpeter is more than enough to

mercially-prepared curing mixtures
with a smoky flavor and follow the
directions on the package. 1t is not
essential that the cured ham be
smoked.
The surplus of fresh pork is the
predicament that brought on the
emergency hand-out Of points.
However, they are valid for cured
meats, too, and there are large sup

Skirted look, for instance, there are
an-inspired tunics, suit jackets
with ripping peplums, hip-slung
sashes. Cores, godets and man
tailored pleats often ease the tight
look and soften the severity of
skirts.
No one color is stressed, anything
goes, and designers mix shades with
daring hand. Two giddy shades,
like mustard and red, are often COM
bined with white and a sober back
ground color, like navy or black.
Bright color on dress gets a pick
up with ma ching accessories.
Greige, combining the best of beige
and gray, is neutral up-and-comer.
Prints are attention-getters which
will bowl over the last objector who
says they aren't smart of can't go

line the solid color coat that tops it.
They rivet eyes on pretty blouses

But what will happen to these
children, turned over to someone

AFFECTIONS CHANGE
They will shift their affections
and respect from their parents to
someone else. Then when they are
brought home again, they will be
uprooted.
They will be strangers to their
parents-and their parents will be
strangers to them. If they become
problem children, it will be no
wonder.
So the woman who gives up a

she is returning to the job she

When you mix soya with meat or
