To describe entertaining
possibilities is like trying to get a
shoe that fits everyone. A plan
which fits your schedule may be
the opposite of your neighbor’s
plan. You are you and Mrs.
Wealthy is someone else. Your
friends enjoy you because you
are you, so build on your assets.
Simplicity and informality of
life today makes entertaining
less demanding. However, do not
mistake casualness for
carelessness. Whether barbecue
or banquet, entertaining should
have several things in common:
Good food attractively served,
pleasant surroundings arranged
for the comfort of guests, a note

Urges Crop Rotation
James H. Eakin, Jr., Extension
agronomist at The Pennsylvania
State University, emphasizes
that good crop rotation should
provide for a least a third of the
crop land to be in sod at all times,
and the fields fertilized according
to the rotation used. Every acre
of cropland needs an annual
application of fertilizer.
Use less tender cuts of meat
made tender by
- Cooking slowly with moisture
- pot roasting, braising, sim

- Grinding, cubing, pounding,
or scoring.
- Marinating or cooking with
acid ingredients, such as
tomatoes or vinegar.
-- Using commercial tenderizers.

Protect Your Child Against Childhood Diseases
For many years parents
feared that their children
would come in contact with
those dreaded childhood dis
eases-measles, d iphthena, tet
anus, whooping caugh, ru
bella, mumps and polio. Then,
through the discovery of
vaccines and the availability
of immunization programs,
parents were able to protect
their children.
Unfortunately, when the
number of children with the
diseases dropped-parents be
came lax. As a result, there
has been an alarming in
icrease in the diseases since
1969.
“Most parents wait until
an outbreak occurs before
they check their children’s
vaccination records,” said Dr.
Jhck Wolfsie, of The Equitable
Life Assurance Society of
the U.S. “A child’s immuni
zation program should begin
when he is two months old
and continue at specific in
tervals until he reaches his
teen-age years.”
Each of the seven diseases
can be detected by their
particular symptoms. These
symptoms include.
Regular Measles- causes a
rash, fever, inflamed eyes,
cough and a running nose.
Diphtheria--causes a fever,
sore throat, and swelling in
the neck.
Tetanus- more commonly
known as lockjaw, causes

Whooping Co ugh- starts
when regular cold symptoms
develop into a seveie series
of cough spasms.
Rubella or German Mea

Mumps- causes fever, head

paralysis in the arms, legs
and breathing muscles.
To avoid these diseases
and their serious complica
tions, a child should be on a
consistent vaccination pro
gram. At two months old a
child should be vaccinated
against tetanus, diphtheria,
whooping cough and polio.
These immunizations should
be repeated when the child is
four, six and 18 months old
and between the ages of
four and six. When children
are a year old they should
receive measles, mumps and
rubella vaccines and a tuber
culin test. Also, between the
ages of 14 and 16, children
should be vaccinated again
for tetanus and diphtheria.
Parents should protect
their children’s good health
by maintaining an immuniza
tion program and regular
doctor’s visits. Remember,

- Eggs
-- American or swiss-type
cheese
