EVERY so OFTEN some par
ticular food, for one reason or an
other, captures the public fancy.
Sometimes it is a new food that APP
pears on the market, but more often
an old familiar one is revived or is
offered in less familiar guise.
Right now blackstrap molasses,
one form of a familiar standby, is
occupying the imelight. Many peo-
pie question that blackstrap is the
best form of molasses. They are con-
fused as they compare this dark, Bit
ter-tasting, end-product with the
sweet, flavorful molasses that has
been such a favorite of generations
of Americans.
Molasses, one of Americas most
popular sweets, remains when sugar
cane is crushed and processed to

have what nature put into the sugar
cane.
Molasses, any molasses, is worth
its weight in gold, of course, just for
the wealth of iron, and the kind of
iron, it contains.
The different grades of molasses,
however, vary slightly from one an
other in the amounts of nutrients
they contain and also in the percent
of availability of the iron. But these
variations are so slight that no one
need struggle with the hard-to-take
blackstrap when the finer grades
taste so good and also supply the
same nutrients.
What's more, when using the better
grades you can get these nutrients
in such pleasant ways as ginger
breads, cookies, pies, buildings, and
other delectable desserts.

and for which he is suited.
What qualifications do prospective
adaptive parents need TO have?
They must be individuals of moral
and financial stability who are will
ing to provide financial security,
give love and affection and whole
some family living to child.
What does a social study Of the
child include?
The child's physical and mental
condition and temperament and that
of his natural parents; their status
and background and their reasons
for surrendering the custody of their
child, and other pertinent informal
ton
Is there q trial period" Of res
idence of the child in the adaptive
home before the final decree Of
adoption is granted?
Yes. The duration. of the trial
period" is one year, during which
period the home is visited at regular
intervals by sympathetic and UNI
derstanding child welfare worker.
Why is a trial period" deemed adj
visable?
In order to give ample time for
the child to adjust to his new en-
vironment and to insure his future
welfare.
Must a petition be filed in couri
before adoptions are completed?
Yes. Adoption proceedings are not
final until the court awards an order
for adoption.
Are adoption records open to pub
lie inspection?
No.
Are provisions made for an
amended birth certificate on compile,
tion of the adoption?
Yes. The original birth certificate
remains on file in the Bureau o
Vital Statistics. The amended certif
icate shows the adaptive parents a
the natural parents of the child. Thi
certificate may be used by the chi1c
for all needed purposes.
Can prospective adaptive parents
approved by the state welfare de
partment. be assured of receiving ,
child within specified period?
No. There are more applications TO
adaptive children than there ar,

at war with itself. A wholesome par
ent-child relationship depends to a
great. extent upon the emotional adj
justment of the parents to each other
and to the world. Adoption cannot
be selfish qualification. It must not
hope for reward. It cannot count on
success.
Specialized Service
Adoptions are considered spe-
cialized service in Montana and
adoptions are handled only by quail
fled social workers. Lawyers, judges
and social workers work together,
ideally at least, to free the child
from restrictions. Adoption laws are
being strengthened through the rec
ognition of social qualities and
values. Strict compliance with the
statutes is indispensable because,
legally, adoption is an artificial proc
ess whose foundation is statutory.
Compliance with law is fundamental.
To neglect, postpone, or overcon-
fidently dismiss any step in the legal
process endangers the validity of
the adaptive relationship.
The following questions are those
most frequently asked by prospec-
tive adaptive applicants:
What is meant by adoption?
Adoption is the establishing Of the
legal relationship Of parent and child
between a child and person other
than his natural parents.
What are the legal aspects Of this
new relationship?
Some of the aspects are:
/. The child assumes the name Of
the adaptive parents.
2. The child is entitled to support
care and education.
8. The child and the adaptive par
ents may inherit each from the other
4. The adaptive parents are en-.
titled to the child's custody.
Must the natural parents Of /
child give consent TO the adoption
Yes, unless the parent is mental
" incompetent" has abandoned tn,
child, or has lost custody of the chill,
through the order of court.
Where do parents secure applica
lion forms TO adopt child?
At the county or state welfare de
partment. The completed forms ar,
sent to the state department by tn,
applicant.
Is social study made Of the pro
spective adopting parents and III
child?
Yes. A child welfare worker make
a thorough and careful study befor
a placement is made in order t
assure that every child will b
