SERVE BROHERS
IN FEBRUARY.

IN FEBRUARY
Serve broiled chicken dinner in
February. The birds are plentiful
on the market.
All sizes of tender, small chicken
may be broiled, explains Elsie H.
Morris, extension nutrition special
ist at the University of Arizona.
Most people prefer a bird that
weighs 11a to 21a pounds when it's
ready to cook.
Use one-fourth to one-half tea
spoon of salt and one eighth of a
teaspoon of pepper to season each
half or a bird. Brush the helves
we'll with butter, margarine, or any
desired fat. Barbecue sauce may
be used instead of fat if you like
your chicken barbecued. Flatten
the halves skin-side down in the
pan.
Put the pan in the broiler SO that
the surface of the chicken is to 9
inches from the heat. Broil the
bird slowly so that the browning
begins after 10 to Is minutes of
cooking. Turn the halves every Is
minutes and brush them with fat
or barbecue sauce-each time.
Add the uncooked liver, precooked
gizzard, heart, and neck for the
last Is minutes of cooking.
The chicken is done when the
drumstick and wing joint yield
easily to fork pressure and the
halves are nicely Drowned and
crisp on the skin side. 1t usually
takes SO to 80 minutes to do the
job.

The Family
RoundtobIe
BY ELGIVA BALL

Dear Miss Ball:
I am "a years old and my family
is pushing me to get married. l
have been going with fellow four
years. He knows there is no one
else and he spends a lot of time
with me, but he says Pm too inde-
pendent for him to marry. l grew
up with only my mother, since my
father died while 1 was young.
This made me extremely indepen-
dent, guess. Everything I have
gotten has been by hard work on
my part.
This fellow and I have fun to-
gether, and enjoy many of the
same things. There are other men
whom 1 could marry and who talk
marriage, but are counting on what
1 can do, and feel they are ex-
pecting too much when they can't
even say II love you."
I like this fellow very much.
What could I do to become less
independent and please him? Could
you advise me?
Ada, Alabama
Dear Ada:
There are many men who think
and say their women are too inde-
pendent. But what do they mean
by it? Is it an excuse to hide an
other reason, Your young man may
be just using that as an excuse.
1t could be that he enjoys his own
freedom too much to, want to
marry. In what way does he say
ly single girl must support her.
you are too Independent? Certain
self and if she has any pride, sheN
keeps hersef attired attractiyely
and SO on.
A heart to heart talk seems me-
cessary at this point. If your
young man is sincere, you two can
make allowances, compromise and
iron out your difficulties and then
plan for the future. While you are
at it examine your own feelings.
Do you really want to marry or
are you just trying to please your
family? If you decide to marry
this particular boy, let him make j
decisions and take command of
various situations. A smart girl, if
she wants a man, can bring him
around. Study him, plan your ap-
proach and then proceed to CON
quer' if your heart really tells you
to. Good luck.

wards the >conquering of polio,
when at 7 o'clock, the Mothers be-
gan their annual March of Dimes.
Five years ago, when a small
group of civic minded persons con-
cejved the idea of letting mothers
form marching army here in
! Phoenix, it was done on an expert
mental basis.
am sure that every ,,.otrer Wh3
was chosen to act as chairman of
her school felt the same qualms Of
doubt that l did,. that first year.
Starting from scratch, as we did.
it seemed almost impossible. Each
individual felt that the amount she
collected was so small, and none
could imagine how great the total
of. each school would be. So, the
first real thrill came, when the
school report was given, and we
knew we had played a small part.
in a big show. The second thrill
came, when the entire total of the
first Mothers March was given, and
we realized we had all accom-
plished the impossible.
Each year, when the difficult
task Cf recruiting volunteers for
the march begins, and the petty
problems seem SO great we VOW
that this will be the last year we
will work. But when the call comes
again, we are right back in har
ness, raring to go. There is just
something about this march, that
pulls one back, each time. The re-
ward of Knowing how vital the
small amount eff time and effort
we give is, to those who are less
fortunate than we, more than re-
pays us all.
This year, l had the greatest
thrill of all, when, Tuesday morn
ing, 1 saw. for the first time the
money that poured into the Valley
National Bank, from all the city
and county schools. This year. for
the first time, I was one of the
many who separated and tagged
the money, as it was brought into
the bank, by the policemen and
sheriffs. 1t was with. feeling of
humility, that I worked. that day.
Humility, that God in His mercy,
had given me, along with my CO.
workers, the strength and ability
to help, in cur small way, those
who are so cruelty afflicted by po-
lio. Since I know the heartache
which comes, when the doctor says
that thus far science has effected
no cure, for loved one, my CRATE
fulness is joined with the parents
of polio victims, who, through the
generosity of others, have been CIV
en- SO much to hope for, toward
recovery.
If each doner could have seen,
as saw, what a great pile each
dime and dollar helped to form,
how many dollars each penny
helped to total, am sure they
would have offered small prayer
of thanks, with each contribution,
that they too, were able to give.

have been having fair success
catching amberjack and dolphin
during the past week, but most
of the landings have been bonita,
false albacore or little funny.
At Oregon Inlet, reports of the
first catches Of Gulf Stream fish
this year have come in during
the past week. The Stream fish
ing began weeks earlier at Hat
eras.
Capt. Ernal Foster of Fosters
Quay and Capt. Edgar Styron of
the Blue Marlin Fishing Center
are expecting the first catches of
big game fish before the month

Last season the first blue mar
lin was taken off Hatteras on

out of Blue Marlin Docks.
A few days after the first blue
marlin was landed, white marlin
were being caught by Gulf
Stream fishermen off Hatteras
and Oregon Inlet. Sailfish in 1858,
did not show up until mid-June.
