Opposed are a sizeable group
of nearby landowners.
Giant Seeks Decision
The site in question forms part
of q triangle of land bounded
by North Military road and Old
Dominion drive at Lee highway.
The lower tip of the triangle
already is zoned commercial.
The owner is William H.
Wood. jr.
Attorney Oren r. Lewis. rep
resenting Mr.. Wood, said that a
$3.50, 900 Giant food store will be
built on the site if the rezoning
is granted.
Proponents argue that this
store would be an asset to Cher
rydale. which contains the only
commercial property between Lee
highway and Chain Bridge.
Opponents say that the store
would result in traffic congestion
and that it would lower residen-
tial property values.
Approval of the coming appli-
cation is recommended by the
planning commission and plan
ming department officials pro-
vided certain traffic safeguards
are put into effect.

death on it.

It's fault? Peing there.

Drivers TO Blame
Blame for the fatalities must
lie squarely with the drivers. po-
lice and the Upper Marlboro
Rescue Squad members say.
"On emergency runs, we can
take that curve at 20 miles an
hour easily" a policeman said.
Some SIS feet tall with a 30
inch trunk, the tree stands off
the two-lane bituminous-con-
crete roadway on the right side
of the road leaving Upper MARI
boro.
Driving south toward Rosary
vile. T'B Junction and Waldorf,
the roller-coaster highway drops
down a slight hill. levels off a
short distance and then begins
a short climb of several hundred
feet.
The death curve begins at the
top of this hill, bending grad
ually to the left. The throwing
force Of a high speed turn by
an unskilled driver puts the tree
on a collision course.
Such a driver would be better
off if the tree we're in the center
of the southbound lane. a police
man observed.
Police and f1remen back up
their speeding accusation by
pointing out that most OF the
fatalities and many of the in
juries are suffered by persons

Roast sucking pig on a silver platter, skin
golden brown and crackIy crisp. is the epicure's
choice for the Christmas dinner. It's dish ira
ditional in old England and coming again into
popularity here to serve for any festive occasion,
barbecue or buffet supper. Serve piglet hot,
serve piglet cold, always paeans of praise to the
hostess willing to depart from time-honored
turkey or goose.
Each winter more pigs, younger pigs are seen
in the markets dressed for celebration with lei
of parsley around the neck. an apple in the
mouth, eyes Of cranberry red. Little porklet,
homemakers discover, is as easily prepared as
the big bird. The meat is tender, almost fat-free,
the flavor delicate.
Today's roast pig we do in the British West
Indian manner, directions given by Mrs. Valera
Hall, of ST. Andrew, Jamaica. Pig there, she
tells me, goes to garden parties, to every special
eating occasion along with ham and with turkey,
a third dish often goat in curry. Mrs. Hall is
a bankers wife, mother Of two teen-aee sons;
a career woman too, director Of small food
cannery selling food locally with an eye toward
doing business in the United States. Here is
Mrs. Halls way with the piglet.
Buy a small porker, five to six weeks old, not
to weigh more than eight to twelve pounds after
the dressing. Ovens won't stretch! Have the
butcher remove eyes, tongue and feet. Your
job: singe to remove the hair. Scrape with
dull knife to remove the bristles Scrub skin with
a stiff brush. Rinse pig inside and out with cold
running water, pat dry. season cavity with salt.
stufang: Choose stufing to your choice. If
bread is used, the seasoning should be sage.
Jamaicans are partial to maShed-potato filling.
Kidney, liver and heart of pig are cleaned,

then chopped and Sauteed with onion in butter.
Tomatoes are added and herbal seaSoningS
marjoram, thyme, garlic, and the combination
beaten into the seasoned mashed potato. Rice
may be used and often is; also fruit, either apples
or plums, and sometimes both. Pack stuffing
very lightly into porker. Allow about cups.
Close up the opening by sewing with large
needle and soft string; pulling the front feet for
ward, tie together. Pull the hind feet backward
together and securely tie if there is room enough
in the pan, otherwise, pull forward. Crush
aluminium foil to make firm ball and place in
mouth to hold open. Use small pieces Of foil to
cover ears. Place the piglet on large sheet of
heavy-duty aluminium foil. Rub skin with cut
Of lime and brush over with melted butter to
make skin roast crisp and golden brown. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. Bring foil up over
back and overlap about three inches. Fold up
foil at head and feet.
Roasting: Place the wrapped pig in large shall
low pan and roast in a preheated 45O'F. oven,
allowing 2h hours for to 10 pounds, or
hours for pig weighing 10 to II pounds. At
the end Of this time, reduce heat to 375oF. and
open and turn back foil. Basic with melted but
ter and continue roasting IS minutes or until
skin is tanned.
Serving: Remove lacings and ties and transfer
pig to plank covered with foil. Remove foil
ball from mouth and insert large lime or small
mango. Use maraSchino cherries for the eyes
and decorate with parsley and fruit. When
carving the piglet, start in center and cut right
down through, serving complete slice to each
person. If served as hors d'oeuvre, slices can be
cut in tidbit pieces. Legs are removed and sliced

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BEETLE BAILEY
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Canton: We have been having
some discussion about the proper
plural forms OF such words as
molasses, lens, measles, quartz
Can you give us a solid rule?-
Tom H.
Answer: Here Is q good rule
to follow. Dictionaries seldom
show the plural form OF a noun
unless 1t is formed irregularly
tas child, children; OK, Cxen;
man. men; etc.. So. go to your
dictionary; II no plural is shown,
you may safely form 1t by adding
IS" or "es" in the regular man
ner. as fox, foxes; house, houses;
quartz, quartzes.
1t Is likely that the disagree
ment about the proper plural OF
quartz Is due to the fact that
the singular word sounds exactly
like the plural noun quarts.
There are other singular words
