The green ham is hand-rubbed
with the curing mixture. Then it's
packed down in mixture for rs to
35 days depending on the weather.
Knowing when the hams are
ready for smoking is a true art.
John Hinkle, the meat-curing fore
man, says, zone day look at them
and say to myself, They're done.
You don't get that out of the ham,
you get it out of your head"
After the ham is washed with
cold water to remove the excess
salt, it is smoked with green hick-
DRY wood. Then it is wrapped in
heavy paper, tied into a cotton sack
and hung up to cure.
Hangs ALI Summer
The ham hangs all summer and
into the fall until the first frost.
At that time, it's ready to eat.
There's a certain way to cook
Kentucky hams, too.
For baked ham the best way, ac-
cording to Mrs. Henry, is to scrub
the ham and then soak it in cold
water overnight. After that it's
simmered % minutes for each
pound The skin is removed and
the ham is decorated and baked for
about IS minutes. Then it's eaten
cold, preferably with beaten bis
cults.
Other ham connoisseurs insist on
fried country ham. Slices not more
than a quarter of an inch thick are
fried in a heavy iron skillet for
about five minutes.
Gravy Advise
The excess grease is poured off
and water is poured into the skill
let to produce the famous red
gravy. Persons not afraid of Gallo
ries use heavy cream instead of
water.
Although Henry cures more Ken
lucky hams than anyone else in
Kentucky, it is not his vocation.
He's an industrial relations exec
utive with a Louisville distillery.
.''This is all part of my retire
ment plan,' he says.

Question: / have heard the social
security went up in 1859. / have a
job covered under social security
which pays me $4,000 each year.
also am self-employed on a part
time basis and make about $4,000
a year. What is my new tax rate ?
Answer: In January 1859 the so
cial security tax on wages was in
creased to 21z per cent for the en-
ployee. The tax on your wages
will be SIS. Your employer will, of
course, match this contribution.
Since only the first $4,000 of your
earnings in 1859 is taxable under
social security, you will pay self
employment tax only on the diff
erence between your total wages
and the $4,000 Gle $1,800). The
self-employment tax in 1859 will be
81 per cent. The tax on $500
self-employment incomes would be
$3.50. Social Security taxes are
scheduled for further increases in
1860, 1868, 1866, and 1869.
Question: l understand that the
maximum earnings creditable I'M
der social security in 1858 was SAL
200 per year. Has this been chang
ed by the 1858 amendments to the
Social Security Act?
Answer: Yes. In 1859 your total
earnings up to a maximum of $4,-
800 is creditable under social Sc
curity. You will, of course, pay
taxes on earnings up to that
amount and by earning more than
$4,000 per year you will be able to
get higher social security benefits
in the future.
Question: l am 81 years old and
have worked under social security
as an employee. / plan to retire
in September of this year. BY that
time, l will have earned $4,000.
How much can l earn for the re-
naming months of the year and
still qualify for my monthly social
security checks?
Answer: Regardless of how much
you earn in a year you can now get

Dy
LOUISVILLE, KY. (P)-The for
mula:
Take ham from the finest of
corn-fed hsgs, prepare it with care
full know-how, smoke it with loving
attentiveness, and age it in the
warmth of a Kentucky summer.
The result:
A Kentucky country ham, thing
of beauty and joy to the palate
of it's admirers.
People can be divided into two
classes when it comes to country
ham," says Ellis Henry. "They
either love it or they can't stand
it. There doesn't seem to be a
middle ground"
Cures 1000 a Year
Henry's words on Kentucky hams
usually are accepted as gospel. He
and his helpers cure about 1000 a
year at his home at nearby Pewee
Valley and at his wife's family
farm about so miles northeast of
here.
There's no secret about the pro-
cedure in curing Kentucky hams.
The technique used is centuries old.
But there is an art to using the
procedure which only experience
can give, Henry says.
Henry has refined his curing
methods somewhat since he start
ed curing hams in 1897. When he
started, the hams were cured with
salt. Now a mixture of salt, sugar
and pepper is used.
OF course, the first step in get
ting a good cured ham is having a
good green ham.
Prefers COrn-Fed Hogs
"a prime corn-fed hog is the
secret to a good ham," Henry says.
Virginia hams come from peanut
fed hogs, but even those are fin
ished on corn"
At the risk of starting an inter
state war, Henry claims that Ken
lucky hams are better than Virgin
ia hams. "The hams from those
peanut-fed hogs seem to me to be
stringier and oilier than those
from corn-fed hogs" he says.

checks for every month in which
you neither earn wages in excess
of 800 nor render substantial ser
vices in self-employment. We sug-
gest that you inquire at your near
est social security Office before you
retire. Your social security repre-
sentative will be happy to discuss
your case with you.
Question: / am Sc years old. 1
have been receiving disability bene-
fits since July, 1857. l have a wife,
age So, and daughter, age Is. Can
they qualify for benefits under the
new amendments to the Social Sc
curity Act?
Answer: We suggest you con-
tact your nearest social security
Office. 1t appears that your wife
and daughter may now qualify for
monthly benefits. An application
must be filed. Your social security
representative will be happy to as
sist you in filing the necessary ap-
plications if they meet the require
ments. Take your marriage GER
tificate and your daughters birth
certificate with you when you go
to the social security Office.
Question: / contacted my social
security Office in 1853 to file ap-
plication for benefits as a depen-
dent mother on my sons social Sc
curity account / was told then
that could not qualify because he
was survived by widow. Can l
get payments under the new amend
ments to the Social Security Act?
Answer: You may now be able
to get benefits if you meet the
other requirements. The amend
ments provide that a dependent
parent can now qualify for bene-
fits even if the deceased son or
daughter was survived by a widow
or children. You should contact
your nearest social security Office
Immediately.
Question: l filed application for
a disability freeze in 1855 but was
turned down on the basis that my
disability was not severe enough
to keep me from doing any type
of work. Did the 1858 amendments
liberalize the requirement that a
worker must be so severely dis
abled?
Answer: No. The 1858 amend
ments did not change that require
ment. To qualify, a worker still
must be so severely impaired that
he cannot engage in any substan-
tial gainful activity.
Question: / was receiving a wild
owls social security benefits from
1856 until May, 1857. / remarked
in June of 1857 and my checks
were stopped. I heard the law was
changed so that l may now quail
ify for benefits again. Is this true?
Answer: The new amendments
did make changes in the provisions
regarding remarriages. You did
not furnish enough information for
us to advise you definitely on whe-
Their you can now qualify for bene-
fits. You should contact your So
cial security Office. They will adj
wise you if you are eligible for ben
efits under the new rules.

Mexican Artists

Two one-man shows by
young Mexican artists at the
Pan American Union through
next Sunday are the first by
each in the United States.
Both are young; Alberto
Gironella is 80 this year;
Joaquin Chinas is 6 years
older. Both are self taught.
Gironella Of Mexico City is
prominent in the group that
has achieved recognition in
the past decade. A follower
of the Spanish school, he
paints macabre, fantastic sub
jects in a broad. roughly real
istic manner. Among his 20
oils are several trios compris-
ing metamorphoses. Goya's
portrait of Queen Maria Luisa
is turned into an owl; one Of
Velasquez's jester-dwarfS be-
comes a dog. Gironella also
shows several paintings of a
dance of death" type.
Joaquin Chinas' 20 large
black and white drawings,
crayon or charcoal, are pre-
scented through the interest
of Hon. Bob Wilson of Cali
fornia, who saw and liked
the young Mexican's work in
an exhibition in San Diego.
The drawings are beautifully
rendered, and all depict heads
. of Mexican people, twice life
size or larger. They are
strong. realistic, land have a
feeling of serenity.

not true-there are several
scenes for a single singer that
are arias in everything but
name-the explanation is not
convincing. since the num-
bers in the Puccini operas
that have laid the world at
their feet are not loved as
complete units but for little
clirnactic phrases of two or
three bars. "Falstaff" is full
of the same, as delicious, as
refined, as memorable as
anything in music.
In the entire world Of art,
at least in those precincts
and confines with which I am
acquainted. there is no other
phenomenon comparable to
that of "FalStaff"-the mas
terpiece of an old man with a
lifetime of successful operas
behind him, all marked by
the characteristics of a per-
sonal style, a masterpiece
which stakes out new terri
