AUGUST 10, 1951

In an 'attempt to persuade people to eat more rice. the American Rice Consumer service has pub- lished directions for cooking rice so that it will turn out while. fluf- fy, with each grain light and dry. instead of resulting in, at heavy. sticky mess, which can happen quite easily it proper precautions are not taken. Along with the directions there are some new and interesting rice recipes.

Here are their instructions for cooking rice to" best advantage: Put 1 cup of uncooked rice, 2 cups cold water and 1 teaspoon salt in a two-quart saucepan and cover with is tight fitting lid. Bring to a vigorous boil. Then re- duce the heat as low as posible and steam for 14 minutes or until all the water is absorbed, leaving the separate rice grains with their full nutritional value. (If you prefer more tender rice grains. add U3 cup more water and increase the slow cooking time 4 or 5 min- utes.) Remove the lid, permit the rice to steam dry to the desired consistency and the grains will be separate and fluffy. Never stir nce; lift gently with a fork. Makes approximately 3 cups fluf- fy rice.

one of these recipes is Rice Butterscotch with Nut Sauce. I: is quite a rich dessert and can be rcrved in fairly small portions.

011) AGE AND EMPLOYABILITY

"As long as we retire the aged worker while he still possesses skill, experience, physical capaci- ties and a desire to work. we are adding to the economic burden of the younger generation and to the decline of society. The life span is increasing and aging occurs at a slower pace. Early retirement mean an unnecessary waste of valuable skills and experiences"

I am quoting Dr. S. S. Levine. in Connecticut State Medical Jour- nal, who points out that not only is there a loss of special skills and ex- periences in retiring workers too early. now hat the life span has been exlen ed twenty years, but that long life without work invites diseases.

I have pointed out in previous articles the lack of routine in the Life of the retired worker. He arises when he likes and retires when he likes. his meals become ir- regular. and if he does no phy- sical work. his Bppelbe will grad- ually fail and tlierc will not be the regularity of bowel movement when he arises in the morning or, more

ther into the matter than this, pointing out the damaging effects upon the mind and the emotions of long life without work. Thus the aged worker needs a feeling of economic security. not only because of the money involved. but be- cause he wants to feel that he is not through as is producer, that he can still hold his own with younger men because of his skill and ex- perience. He wants to feel that he is an active member of his com- munity.

Dr. Levine further points out that during World War II (and this also applied to World War 1), when employers were obliged to re- call older workers. it was learned how much physical skill and men-

My friends feel my son has no buckb3:E:N ANSWER: There are two basic issues in a Triother and daughter- ln-law relationship that cause most of the in-law troubles. One is the clinging mother who comes between son and his wife, and the other is the small-minded girl who feels that having acquired it man. no one. not even his mother. is going to have the least share in him. Both types are fortunately rare, but when they rear their ugly head: the unhappiness wrought is intolerable.

HE SHOULD BE FIRM

In either case. one wonders wliolis most to blnme-the women or the man. Surely any son should have enough spunk to insist on the right to have occasional visits with his mother. and if he is half a man he will see that his wife shows at least an outward respect for her mother-in-law. -

Realizing how much you love your boy. no matter how badly he has treated you, I hesitate to criticize him, but he certainly is the spineless wonder of the world. Since he has persisted in his heartless attitude for five years, I doubt if any metamorphosis of charnctcr will lm rove his weak will. but prayer has worked miracles before and it might accomplish something for you.

Your daughter-in-lnwls unspeakable ingrnlitude defies belief. and she will have to see her own children grow up to realize how mis- taken she has been. Her home must be fl blank and chccrlr-ss place to be run by one so heartless. With the wisrlom that sometimes comes with years, she may be enlightened. I hope so.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I'm 17 and have a boy friend who is stationed at an army camp. This summer my girl friend and I woulri like to spend our vacation there and would stay in the guest house or hotel. My'mother says this wouldn't he proper unless too had :1 chaperon. Please may I have your opinion? ALICE B. ANSWER: Your mother is quite right. Though you and your girl friend would undoubtedly conduct yourselves in a ladylikchand decor- ous manner. the circumstances could easily lead to malicious gossip. Certain conventions have been established as a code of living by which 'we may all guide our lives in an orderly and proper fashion. Severe as these conventions may seem at times. it is still wise to observe them. Those who delight in thrusting them aside under the guise of ”llberalism" or "living our own lives" are inviting disaster.

Conventions governing the conduct of young girls are especially stringent. and definitely preclude such trips as you plan. Conform- ing to these rules establishes a good reputation. Defying them in- vites suspicion-however unfounded.
