THE RECENT STATE FARM SHOW was given quite a
shock by adverse weather conditions. The first two days will
no doubt be remembered for record-low number of people
attending. This situation reminds us once
again of the great importance of weather
conditions on all phases of
The success or failure of many farm oper-
ations might be determined by the kind of

of rainfall during the growing season.

Timely Tips for Women
Salads create an attractive main dish for
luncheon, a
pretty fruit accompaniment for dinner, or a luscious froz-
en dessert creation when you're party planning.
It’s easy
to find just the right salad for every occasion. Nutritionally
salads are a delicious food by themselves and are claiming
a larger portion of the menu picture.
Serve salads as an ‘“accompaniment” salad to be eaten
with the main course, or to garnish the meat platter. As a
first course appetizer. salads become a ‘main dish salad,”
“salad plate,” “dessert salad,” or ‘party salad,”
Remember these salad pointers:
Use only chilled and crisped salad greens.
Greens should never extend beyond the edge of plate.
Excess greenery can dwarf a salad.
Try for color, flavor, form,
and texture contrast when
combining salad ingredients.
Always chill canned fruits
and vegetables.
Drain canned fruits thor-
oughly on paper towels; veg-
etables in a sieve.
Arrange any salad on a
chilled plate (bowl) in a sim-
ple manner. Avoid a clutter-

The Worry Clinic -
Timmy is like thousands of grammar schoolers who
suffer inferiority complexes due to fat.
At other times
they become delinquent to offset that humiliation of be-
ing called “Fatso”. Many fat teen-age girls also become
sexually delinquent in their abnormal hunger for social
acceptance.
CASE N-457:-Timmy T., aged 11, is called “Fatso’ by
his classmates.
“Dr. Crane.” his worried mother began. “Timmy is far
too heavy, so what can we do to help him? :
“Maybe he inherits it from his father, who 1s
pounds overweight.
“And plumpness also runs in my
sixiy
family too, for 1
should take off 25 pounds myself.
“But Timmy resents being
called ‘Fatso’ and the other
night I found him crying be-
cause he said he wanted to
be thin, like the other boys.”
Fat Compleses
Thousands of boys and
girls in grammar school de-
velop personality complexes
because they are called “Fat-
* SO.
Sometimes they even kaunch
upon delinquency because of
their mental anguish and de-
sire to gain a new respect
from their pals.
So you mothers of fat bays
and fat girls should be doub-
ly on the guard.
Occasionally,
esity in a child is due to
glandular deficiency, which
can be remedied in part by
thyroid extract and other
drugs.
But even in the glandular
cases, a child cannot add fat
unless he is over-eating.

IN MARIETTA
Mayor Makes Statement To People
The Mayor's Corner
Once again I am compelled
to warn dog owners that state
laws and borough ordinances
forbid dogs running loose un-
der penalty of a fine. Even
though they are licensed they
must be on a leash when tak-
en for a walk. I have had
some complaints from citiz-
ens and I have instructed our
Chief of Police to arrest the
offenders. So, when you see a
dog running loose, call Chief
Discavage, who is listed in
the phone book, and he will
respond to your complaint.
This is the proper way to
get results, rather than carry
on at council meetings.
A pat on the back is due
to the street committee for
coping with the huge task of
opening and widening the
travel space of our streets
right after the recent -bliz-
zard. Considering that this
was the worst we had in
many years, our streets were
the cleanest of any communi-
ty around us. I agree that a
few spots were neglected,
which is to be expected, as
it would require a miracle to
clean every nook and corner
in our sprawling town with
its narrow streets and alleys
all at once. If your section
was neglected, call Street
Commissioner chairman Jno.
Libhart, or Leroy Appley or
Henry Lenhart, and I am
sure that they will take care
of you. Citizens, in general,
were very cooperative in op-
ening a good path on side
walks.
My congratulations to the
fire police for having set up
a schooling period for Janu-
ary 30th at the fire hall Cap-
tain Edwin Rutherford Jr.
informed me that a state po-
liceman, and possibly some
one from the Lancaster Coun-
ly Safety committee, which
Henry J. Marshall represents,
also may be present, to in-
struct the class in ways of
coping with their duties in
case of emergency, such as
fires, floods, accidents, etc.

Chicken Goes With Anything
When you talk about a
versatile food, don’t overlook
poultry. Chicken is so good
by itself, but it also lends
itself well to casseroles. It
enhances the flavor of vege-
tables, sauces and even goes
well with fruits. Just give
this Chicken A La Orange a
