W. Deem, Grants Pass. portant Christian feast was first served at a spring festi val by pagans, says the Amer ican Meat Institute. Except for modern mechan ical aids, the institute added, ham -making methods today are similar to those the cave man used centuries ago. Salt ing and smoking are still all it takes to make a leg of pork into a ham. If you're shipwrecked on a desert island and can catch a wild pig, here's the caveman's system for curing a ham: Bury the hind legs in sand on the seashore. After suffi cient time has passed (the in stitute didn't say how long) dig up the meat and hang it near the top of a cave to ab sorb smoke flavor from a wood fire. If you're still around a few months later, the hams should be just right for cooking and eating. A bit gamey, perhaps, but if you've held out that long on a diet of fish and wild berries, it . might taste pretty good. For Spring Feast - Apparently, it did to cave men and their families, be cause the fall and winter slaughtering periods left them with very little meat along toward spring. So. they wise ly put aside a few hams to guarantee a spring feast. Today's country-style ham is probably nearest in flavor and texture to the pagan's piece de resistance, the insti tute said, because its more heavily cured than the other four varieties now sold in the United States. Like those ear ly hams, the country-style should be soaked and sim mered before the final baking and glazing process. But many modern cooks prefer one of the other styles: ready-to-eat, cook-before - eat ing, fully-cooked, or canned. All of these, the institute said, rate high in flavor, mildness and tenderness. And, while they're available in markets here the year round, more are sold during the Easter pe riod than at any other time. In Europe, tastes differ somewhat. The Russians and Yugoslavs, for instance, pre fer whole roast pig for their Easter feast. Bulgarians dine on roast lamb and cold ham. Lamb is also the Easter favor ite in England and Italy, ac cording to the institute.

"I'd Be Happy If I Had Married Someone Else" "I'd be happy if only I had married someone else! My whole life would be different, and I wouldn't be in this un bearable situation. . ." Repeatedly at the American Institute of Family Relations in Los Angeles we hear this complaint. Unhappy people tend to blame their unhappiness on others. They prefer to shift the responsibility for their situa tion to elements outside them selves, when in reality the fault may lie as much within themselves as upon their choice of mates. But to light en their own guiltf feelings, they may grasp at excuses and alibis which strenghten their own egos. The truth of the matter may be that their present situation may be indeed difficult, or their choice of partner un wise. But just as frequently these people might have been equally unhappy in any situ ation with any other mate The capacity for unhappiness lies within them, a continua tion of emotional patterns from a difficult childhood or from insecurity built through the years. If you wish to improve your marital situation, you must question your efforts toward making your marriage a suc cess. What have you contrib uted? Where have your weak nesses lain? What have you done to overcome them? How many of your troubles lie in objective hard facts? If these facts were removed, would you indeed, COULD you then be happy? Be brutally honest and frank with your self. Almost any young couple can make a success of mar riage, according to Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of the American Institute of Family Simple and Elaborate Ham Glazes Suggested New York (IP) A glaze for Easter ham can be as elabo rate or as simple as your time and your family's taste al lows. The easiest calls for a sin gle item, 1 cup of molasses Baste in the usual manner. For fancier palates, brush the ham with a mixture of 1 cup brown sugar and XA cup juice drained from canned apricots. Just before serving, use canned apricot slices to make flowers, with green pepper or candied citron strips as stems. Another sweet glaze calls for 1 cup honey mixed with V2 cup orange marmalade or orange juice. A tangy baste uses 1 cup red jelly mixed with 1 tea spoon dry mustard and 2 teaspoons horseradish. Whole or sliced cranberry sauce, mixed with V2 cup corn syrup, also makes a fine glaze for ham. Executive Committee Announces Meeting Phoenix The executive committee of Women's associa tion, Phoenix Presbyterian church, will meet Monday, April 7, at 2 p.m. at the home of Mrs. M. A. Williams. Plans will be made for a food sale at Norton's store later this month. Relations, if they make a sin cere and intelligent effort to work cooperatively on their problems. This means that while "soul mates" may exist, they are not necessary in a good marriage. People who try and strive hard enough may well become "soul mates," while partners who are unwilling or unfitted for cooperative living may wreck marriage and then Dlace the blame upon others! Many divorces can be Dre- vented if partners are willing to face difficulties realistically ana ip make concessions, ac cepting responsibility for in compatibility where it be longs. If they are unable to do this without hpln. thpv should seek the guidance of a marriage counselor who will aid them in gaining perspec tive both on themselves and their marriage.
