Leg O’Lamb Roast ' j
A feast for the eyes and a treat for
the palate is a handsome leg of lamb,
roasted to perfection awaiting the
carving knife.
Before roasting, remove fell for
easier carving of the cooked meat.
To roast, place the leg of lamb fat
side up on a rack in an open pan.
Use no water. Bake in a slow oven
(325 degrees F.). A roast meat ther
mometer is your most accurate guide
to perfectly done meat.
The fat covering on the leg of lamb
may be slashed during the last 15
minutes of roasting and a sliver of
garlic inserted in the slashes. Finish
roasting and be certain to remove
the garlic before serving.
Variety In Left-Over Lamb
There are no problems in using up
all the roast lamb because so many

SMALLPOX ‘
An outbreak of smallpox in the; a
East a few years ago, when the di- • <
sease was brought into the state by
a traveler, shocked and surprised ]
many people who had assumed that |
the hideous disease had been wiped j
out forever in this country. c
Modern medical techniques have (
greatly improved the picture of times i
when the disease was striking heavi- c
ly at every continent, killing a fourth f
of its victims and leaving survivors 1
disfigured by scars. i
Today we have dependable protec
tion against smallpox in vaccination
which is primarily responsible for the s
gradual reduction of cases in the (■
United States to 56 in 1949 as com- c
pared, for example, with the 102,787 i
cases reported in 1921. j
Vaccination of small children has ,
become routine in many sections of s
our country. Its continued depend- j
ability is proved by studies in re- j
cent years which show that a case
of smallpox is rare in areas where .
vaccination is required before school
enrollment.
To be on the safe side, doctors rec- i
ommend that a baby be vaccinated j
against smallpox during the first
few months of his life and immunized[ 1
against smallpox again later in life '
whenever the doctor advises. For we
have no guarantee that smallpox, per
hans in the fatal, disfiguring form, .
will not be brought into this country 1
at some future date and spread rapid- *
ly among those unprotected by vacci- r
n"t'on.
Smallpox is caused by a virus and
so read when the sick person coughs
sneezes and spreads germs into the
air. A person can also pick up the
g£rms from the patient’s sores or,:
scabs or by handling his soiled ar
ticles. I;
Symptoms of smallpox, which show 1
”-i about 12 da vs after exposure to, J
the disease, include fever, headache, .
•mdmcbes-and pains. Later the char- i;
acteristic rash appears which in se-’:
vere cases consists of blister-like les-.'
«<wc; fnied with ous. The eruptions’
form Crusts which graduallv fall off, r
often Having permanent pits or scars :
in the «k'n. j
Babies should ho vaccinated against
smallpox between the second and
sixth month of their lives. For maxi- j
mum protection, it is wise to revacci- '
nate at least every five years and.
whenever cases are present in the
community. Anyone who has been ex-|
posed to smallpox should, of course,'
be vaccinated immediately.
Since vaccination has been made
pvailab’e to a!' of us, it has been said,
there is no disease of mankind as j
eesv to eont'-ol as smadnov. Taking!
advantage of this protection is the
best way of keeping smallpox under'
control in this country.

(variations are possible—cold sliced
. lamb with mint jelly and hot creamed
vegetables, sliced lamb heated in
gravy or a zesty sauce with boiled
or baked potatoes, fluffy rice, or
noodles.
Mint is the traditional flavor to go
with lamb, but many tart sauces are
equally delightful such as lemon or
orange sauce, or a spicy barbecue
sauce for variety.
A full cut leg of lamb may weigh
8 to 12 pounds, but if a smaller roast
is preferred, 3 Ito 4 broiling steaks
may be cut from the loin end and a
1 to 2-pound shank piece cut off for
a savory lamb and vegetable stew.
This will leave a 3 to 5-pound leg
roast. So, the full cut leg will make
broiling, roasting, braising as well as
left-over steaks.
'Farmers Find Sheep
Paying Enterprise
A well-managed flock of farm sheep
can produce a lining other than a wool
lining for your over-coat, says A. V.
Allen, livestock specialist with the
State College Extension Service.
The lining Allen refers to is the
lining of your pocketbook. As proof,
he cites the records, from 89 dif
ferent flocks in 13 North Carolina
counties. Owners of these flocks av
eraged an income of $37.41 per head
in 1951 —an increase of $6.70 per head (
over the returns during 1950. Returns
from individual flocks ranged from a
low of $15.30 per head to a high of
$60.40.
“Experienced sheepmen have al
ways figured that the wool from a
sheep would pay for the upkeep of
the animal,” says Allen. “The lamb
crop thus represents^the annual pro
fit. Last year the average ewe in
North Carolina produced seven pounds
of wool which sold for $8.49. The
same ewe cost her owner only $7.73 .
in feed and labor and thereby overpaid
for her keep with her fleece.”
The state average for wool return ■
in 1951 was raised considerably by
sales in the mountain counties of
Ashe, Alleghany, Watauga and Avery. |
These counties sold their wool crop
for $1.50 per pound—the highest price
reported east o fthe Mississippi. The
remainder of the state marketed its!
wool for a top of 91 cents per pound, j
Allen reports the average sheep
man in the state ended the 1951 lamb
ing season with a 104 per cent lamb
crop. These lambs sold at an aver
age of 84 pounds and returned $28.89
per head.
CHOIRS PLAN JOINT SING
A special service of Gospel in
Praises will be held at St. John’s
Episcopal Church, Sunday afternoon,
April 20, ait 4 o’clock with choirs from
all the county churches participating.
Please come out.

Food Sense—Not Nonsense
Worried about vitamins? Afraid of carbohydrates? Puzzled as to
whether or not you and your family get enough protein each day?
Avoiding fats and sugars? In spite of the fact that an increasing
knowledge of nutrition has been one of the offerings of this scientific
age, food crazes have been sweeping this country over the past few years
like a plague of locusts. The public is both puzzled and concerned. It is
reassuring to know there is no substitute for a well balanced diet,
patterned on the basic seven food groups.
By an every day selection of
foods from these groups you can
he assured of meeting individual
A \ needs for vitamins, minerals,
/ jS \ protein, fats and carbohydrates.
/ S|| All of these are essential to your
/ rtph-dgft \ physical well being. To have a
lUjjSo A well balanced diet, with all
I v\ needed health giving factors, se-
I "J’ pTo l ec t foods from these following
I ill groups. (Servings are given as
\ fxyfyyv I eating guides.)
\ / Green and yellow vegetables,
VSkT JsSST ( \|l| n. ‘V’ / such as broccoli, green beans and
\ L 'KA \/ carrots —one large serving daily,
'v / These are rich in vitamin A es-
N. \S%cV y sential to good vision, and iron
Xofathd.,,, rw to build red blood cells.
m Oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit
—one serving daily. This group
also includes raw cabbage and salad greens. These furnish vitamin C,
also known as ascorbic acid, necessary for healthy gums and body tissues.
Potatoes and other vegetables and fruits. One potato daily and two
or more servings of the others. These are thrifty sources of needed
vitamins and minerals.
Milk, and milk products, such as cheeses and ice cream. One pint of
milk for adults and more for children, daily. These are especially impor
tant for protein and calcium. They build strong bones and teeth.
Meat, poultry, fish and eggs—one serving meat, fish, or poultry daily,
at least 4 eggs per week. These are the high protein, muscle building
foods, carrying essential minerals.
j Bread, flour and cereals. Six slices of enriched, or whole wheat bread,
daily, with other grain foods, such as breakfast cereal. Enriched bread
furnishes carbohydrates for energy; protein for building muscles; cal
cium for strong teeth and bones; iron for red blood cells; and the three
B vitamins, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin for general good health.
Butter and fortified margarine—two or three tablespoons daily. These
are high in vitamin A, essential to good vision, and are good “fuel” foods.
The important point is to include foods from each of these groups
every day. Your diet will be balanced—your hunger satisfied—your food
fears banished.
