Stop and make a tem­ porary camp and spend the night until daylight the next day. C. Stop and evaluate the conditions and continue on to your camp. D. Stop and wiat until the rain has stopped and then continue on to your camp. To Surviye (B) would be the best action according to survival experts. If caught in an area with ap­ proaching darkness and in­ clement weather, the outdoor enthusiast is wise to stop and spend the night rather than "ght the elements. Extended exposure in the conditions noted can cause irreversible symptoms of hypothermia to »n and lead to incapacitation within a few hours or le«. To continue to hike out, (A), might be acceptable if the distance to camp could be covered in a few minutes in­ stead of two hours with the weather conditions as in­ dicated. <C( provides little aid since the result is the same as (A). (D) would be the most ac­ ceptable of the remaining alternatives provided enough daylight remained to negotiate the distance to your camp., Meaty Things To Write For When planning dinners for special family gatherings or company buffets, what do smart meal planners choose? And what do they select for hipy-up casserole meals, sand­ wiches and main dish salads? Most often, the answer to these questions is ham. Ham is chosen for a varied of reasons--holiday tradition, convenience of preparation and, of course, for its popular fine smoked flavor. Another reason is they know it's cost per serving that really counts, and that a baked ham pro vides more flavor-packed serv­ ings per pound than poultry or many other meat cuts. Are you a confident ham cook? If not, you can learn the facts about selecting, stor­ ing and cooking ham conven­ iently and easily.
