Festive lam Comes to Christmas Table
BY Violet Faulkner

InereS q lot OF meal planning
ahead. for with the Yuletide sea-
son thoughts just naturally seem
to turn to food. OF course. the
biggest event on your cuisine CAL
endar is Christmas dinner.
If you had turkey for Thanks
giving it's quite possible you're
planning to have a big, juicy ham
as the center of attraction for
the Christmas table. To save time
during this busy season, here's one
more idea plan three meals
lat once. Start with a plump
ham, roasted to perfection and
decked with a festive dress Of
chopped red or green maraschino
cherries, silver candies and citron
formed into clever bells. For the
second serving. bring on crispy
ham fritters and for the third
serving, fill followed hard rolls
with ham chunks in sauce.
Roasting Ham
Place the ham fat side up on a
rack in an open roasting pan.
The rack keeps the ham up and
out of its drippings and allows
free circulation Of the heat. Do
not add water and do not cover.
No basting is necessary because
the hot meat juices trickle down
through the meat as 1t cooks IN
self -basting process. Roast the
ham in a 300-degree oven, allow
ing IS to 18 minutes per pound
cooking time. 1t is wise to plan
roasting time so the ham will be
ready to come out of the oven
about 80 minutes before serving.
Given this time to "set," the ham
is much easier to carve.

Buttons Fashion News,
Cleaning Problems

Buttons are high fashion this
fall, says Ruth E. Pearce, Univer-
sity Of Delaware Extension Cloth
ing Specialist, 'but these buttons
will probably present cleaning
problems and sorrows if not han
died correctly"
Ceramic. glass, wood, mother of
pearl, and bone buttons chip in
wearing and cleaning. Translucent
buttons become cloudy with age.
Artificial pearl buttons peel, me-
tallic buttons may rust. Cloth
covered buttons often have paste
board bases. lining materials that
bleed, and fabric that ravels. But
tons that are loosely dyed might
bleed onto garments when steam
pressed. Others may change shape
or size during cleaning and press
ing.
How to avoid such hazards? Miss
Pearce quotes the National Insti-
tute of Cleaning and Dying, on be-
ing "buttonwise". First, know what
your buttons are made of, and ex-
anime them for good construction
when you buy. Second, as precau-
tiOn, ask for extra buttons when
buying clothes. On washables re-
move buttons that are apt to chip,
break, or rust. For clothes that
have to be cleaned, patrOnize re-
liable cleaner and call his atten-
tiOn to problem buttons.

DR.. Thomas C. Mulligan nastor
OF Grace Methodist Church, here.
and Chaplain of Sussex Pomona
Grange, declared last night, 1--WE
as Americans need to keen our
feet on the ground; we need to see
both sides of the national situation
NOT OF capital--not of labor, but
with a genuine concern as to the
needs OF the nation as a whole and
OF the world at large. Speaking
on the Booster Night" program
OF Midland Grange No. q, he
termed farmers as definite indi-
vidualists". They are not labor
men, nor do they have a capital
ist job, but their work REQUIRES an
outlay of capital in machinery in
vestments, labor on the soil and
constant gamble with the mar
kets. Farmers ought to be able to
bring capital and labor together!
There is a need for farmer action
in the American system. He stated
Many people go through the mo-
ton of doing things, but don't
know what they are doing" and
urged know what you are doing
and how to do it."
Ten members of Midland Grange
were hOnOred for 25 years of men,

Quoted by State Grange Master
Harry c. Johnson, of Smyrna and

told the honor guests their "Twen-
ty-five years of membership means

membered are those which have
been done for the common good"
and people are remembered by
what they do" He pointed out that
Oranges offer an opportunity for
each to participate and give some
thing to their fellowmen; stimu-

Child Adoption Law
Effective July 1st
CcOntinusu lrom first DaRsl

Any parent or guardian who
wishes to place a child for adOp-
ton. must arrange for this through
one of the authorized agencies, ac-
cOTding to the new statute.
No interested individual or friend
may arrange for the placement. 1t
must be done by an agency.
Sole exception to the statute
making agency placement manda-
tory is in situations where a STEP
parent is seeking adoption of a
stepchild, or where the child pro-
posed for adoption is a blood rela-
tive of the prospective adaptive par
ents.
But even in those cases, the State
Department of Public Welfare will
study the petitions and make re-
commentator to the Orphans
Court.
Another section of the law re-
quires that no child may be brought
into Delaware for adoption pur-
poses without the welfare depart
ments written consent.
This permission must be obtained
before any family may legally take
an Out-Of-state child for adoption
into it's home.
Getting permission involves a
study of the home. information
concerning how the arrangement is
likely to function, and agreement
on the part of the state in which
the child lives.

Many Plan To Retire
After July ISt To Collect
$50 Social Security
CONTINUED from FIRST pager

ment's manpower program don't
expect the increased retirements
after July LIST to affect the total
man-pOwer picture much.
Congress increased social secur-
ity benefits in the fall of 1850 when
the minimum pension was $40 a
month and the maximum about $45
The increase was to be in two
stages:
1. For those on pension or 60
ing on pension before July 1, 1852.
the minimum was raised to 500 and
the maximum to around $68.50.
2. Those going on pension after
July l, 1862 would never receive
less than 500 and could, if entitled
to it, receive as much as $50.
At the same time Congress laid
down some rules for getting the $50
maximum:
If a person worked Is months in
a job covered by social security be-
tween January LIST, 1851 and July
LIST, 1852 and his pay was at the
rate of $4,000 a year he could. by
retiring after July 1st, 1862, get
$50 a month.
For this reason a lot of old peO-
pie who might have retired sooner
but who then couldn't get more
than $6S.50-decided to keep on
working until July LIST.
All this applies only to people
who have been employed by others
in these past 10 months.
For the self-emplOyed people
there was a slightly different rule:
To be entitled to the full $50 a
month. a self-emplOyed person
must keep on working till next
January /.
He could get some pension if he
retired before January 1st, but not
that new maximum of $50.
