Roxanne Opalicki spends every
day in her new business ‘Heart of
Fashions” dress shop located in the
Route 309/415 Plaza, Dallas. Her
recently opened business keeps Rox-
anne occupied most of the time.
Despite the many hours Roxie, as
she is known to most of her friends,
still finds time to prepare many of
the dishes her husband, John, and
her family enjoy.
- Roxie likes to try new kinds of
recipes and enjoys combining soups,
entrees, vegetables and salads to
make an entire meal. She also
experiments with basic recipes,
adding various seasonings or vege-
tables she believes her family will
like.
Many of the various dishes she
prepares are recipes that have been
in her family or those she has
obtained from friends. Because she
spends so many hours in her busi-
ness, Roxie likes to prepare foods
that do not take too much of her
time but are tasty and nutritious.
The Chicken-Vegetable Soup is
tasty and easy to prepare. The most
time needed is in cooking it. If
desired, other vegetables may be
substituted according to one’s taste.
The Potato Almond Patties are
unusual and can be prepared while
the Chicken-Vegetable Soup is cook-
ing. The almond coating gives the
patties a unique flavor which is
usually enjoyed by anyone who tries
them. The name Yellow Beans does
not begin to describe the delicious
flavor of the beans when they are
combined with the onions, peppers
and tomatoes.
The Salisbury Steak is easy to
prepare, but can be compared to
gourmet food, it is so delicious. The
combination of the beef and mush-
room soup gives the steak a differ-
ent flavor than most Salisbury
Steak recipes.
The soup, potato patties, yellow
beans and salisbury steak, make a
great meal for one’s family, or for
entertaining friends for dinner. Just
add a salad, light dessert and a
delicious and colorful dinner is
ready.

SS Office
issues
warning
Responding to numerous inqui-
ries, Thomas P. Lavelle, Social
Security manager in Wilkes-Barre,
said recently that a firm operating
in the Washington, D.C. area solicits
people through direct mail. This
firm is selling a service which is
provided at no charge by every
Social Security office.
The company obtains local birth
information and then mails new
parents an offer to get a Social
Security number for their child for
a $10 fee. This service can be
obtained without charge at any
Social Security office. In addition,
the parent has to do everything for
the company he or she would have
to do if he or she contacted Social
Security in the first place.
For a parent to obtain a Social
Security number for a child, the
parent needs evidence of the child’s
date of birth, citizenship, and ident-
ity. The parent will also need evi-
dence of his or her own identity.
The direct mail advertisement
also indicates that new legislation
may require that children be listed
by Social Security number on the
parents’ tax return. There is no
such legislation, Lavelle said. In
addition, Social Security does not
provide counties with information
about which children have Social
Security numbers.
The Wilkes-Barre Social Security
office is located at Room 2227, Penn
Place, and the telephone number is
826-6259.
