Dinner Observes
94th Birthday
W. J. Stockton was honored
at a dinner recently which ob
served his 84th birthday an
niversary. The event was
given by his son and daughter-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Stockton, Butte Falls road,
with whom the elderly man
makes his home.
Present were Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Stockton and their two
children, Charles Ray and
Joyce, and Mr. and Mrs. Dean
Stockton and three children,
Christine, David and Gwen,
grandsons and great-grandchildren
of the honored guest;
Mr. and Mrs. Porter Allen,
Richard Freeman, Mr. and
Mrs. David Hannaford and
their two children, Janet and
Jimmie, Debra McFall; Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Terrell and their
children, Don and Sandra, and
Mrs. Terrell's brother, David
, Smith, Redlands, Calif.; and
Mr. and Mrs. C. 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.
