You've decided on a ham for Easter, but what cut should you buy? !•, Your best value is a whole ham if you have a large enough family to eat it and the storage space to keep it says Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois Extension foods and nutrition specialist. But if you don't want so much meat, a half ham- shank or butt-may prove more economical and suitable for your needs. If a ham is cut in half, the butt is the upper, meatier, rounded half, and the shank is the lower, slightly pointed half. The butt usually costs more than the shank because it contains a higher proportion of meat to bone. However, the shank is easier to carve into slices A half ham should be exactly what the name implies~a whole ham cut in half. In other words, all of the choice, center slices should be present. However, if the retail butcher has removed some of the center slices for separate sale, the remaining section must be labeled "portion" or "end." And it should carry a lower price tag than a full half ham. When shopping, be careful not to confuse certain pork products with ham, cautions Miss Acker. For example, the term "picnic ham" is a misnomer because that cut of meat is actually pork shoulder. To qualify as "ham" the meat must come from the upper part of the hind leg of a hog. Although similar in flavor to hams, picnics are usually smaller and less expensive. PRESENT FLAG Rev.

I am getting so upset I'm afraid I will fail in my school work and mom and dad will get me. I used to go with this boy and I like him very much. One day he said we would have to break up because he wanted me to go out with other boys and he wanted to go with other girls. I respected what he wanted to do, so I agreed. We have been dating occasionally, but always the dates end up in arguments. I am so worried I sit all day and cry within my room and don't want to see anyone. We had a date for a dance. I felt so neglected that I told him so when we went home. He told me that I was too loud and that he kept telling me to shut up. That night he told me that he had to call it If yOU have a teenage problem you 'quits.'

OUR REPLY: You aren't going to feel any better until you can get it into your head that he isn't the only thing that matters in your young life. When you try to discuss your problems with him, are you not just telling him what you want? He has made his de cision--that both of you should date others. If you don't want to lose him completely, take his ad vice. He isn't going to come around if every visit ends with an argument.
