FLOATING SHAMROCKS
The moulds for these candles
are shamrock-shaped gelatine
moulds covered with a light
film of vegetable oil. Pour hot
wax into moulds and allow to
cool thoroughly. Then fill any
shrinkage. When cold and com-
pletely set, remove from
Mould, To insert the wick,
make a hole in the centre of
the shamrock with a hot metal
object of suitable size, such as
a meat skewer. Insert a piece
of wicking in the hole. Float
candles in an attractive dish
filled with water and decorate
with an elf or other Irish in-
spirations of your own.
SHAMROCK, HAT AND PIPE
The shamrock for the base
is made from three heart-shap-
ed moulds. For the shamrock
stem, pour hot wax into a
small foil pie plate, the same
depth as the heart moulds, and
when wax has set but is still
warm, cut the shape for the
stem. Let cool. When cold, re-
move all sections from their
moulds. When assembling, trim
the points of the hearts so that
they fit snugly together. Assem-
ble on a cookie sheet. Pour a
little hot wax in the centre,
where needed, to join the sec-
tions together.

er, (the type potato salad comes
in). The crown can be cast in
the container itself, to an ap-
proximate depth of three to
three and a half inches. To
prepare the mould, cover with
light film of vegetable oil.
Anchor the wick in the centre
bottom of the mould with a
piece of plasticine and centre
across the top of the mould with
a wick rod. Hold the rod in
place with plasticine. Now pour
the hot wax. Be sure to leave
the wick long enough to hold
the candle for dipping. As the
candle cools, make holes in
the centre with a sharp object
such as a small knitting needle.
Fill with hot wax. A second fill
may be necessary. When the
candle is cold, remove from
the mould and dip the crown
and the brim of the hat sepa-
rately into the hot wax bath,
then into cold water. Two or
three coatings will be necessary.
Now assemble the hat using
a little hot wax to anchor the
pieces in place. For the hat
band, cut green shamrocks out
of paper and glue into place.
Set the hat on the shamrock,
add any finishing touches you
like, such as a clay pipe, and
you're Irish as can be!

Dear Ann Landers: I liked
your advice to the girl whose
parents insisted that she wait
on a partially paralyzed sister.
I wonder how many people'
are aware of the difference be-
tween being crippled and be-
ing handicapped? No on re-
spects a cripple but the whole
world admires a handicapped
person who tries to be self-
sufficient and independent.
I work for a travel company
that arranges tours for the
handicapped. We've taken polio
victims into the beautiful
waters of Waikiki beach, A
former skiing star, now in a
wheelchair, went to Bangkok
with us last year and had a
fabulous time. He ran us rag-
ged—had to go everywhere, We
sponsor a basketball team made
up of handicapped boys and
there is no team more exciting
to watch,
Soon we will be taking a
group of blind folks to Europe
and I'll bet most of them will
see more than I will,
It is wrong to wait on handi-
capped people and do things
for them that they could be do-
ing for themselves, This is what
makes them cripples. The
greatest service we can per-
form for these people is to help
them---and to instruct them so
they can help themselves.
Thank you for telling the
whole world, — SEATTLE
READER.
Dear Reader: Thank you for
an inspiring letter. I especially
appreciate your pointing out
the distinction between being
handicapped a n el crippled.
Never again will I use the
words interchangeably.

Dear Ann Landers: I know
you aren't writing a pet column
but that letter about the peddle.
Sir Oliver, who couldn't be
housebroken made me write my
first letter to a newspaper.
I am a dog lover who has
been able to housebreak dogs
after other "experts" failed.
Has it occurred to the discour-
aged owners of Sir Oliver that
the dog might be deaf? If he
is not deaf, he might be re-
tarded.
Mrs. Discouraged thought it
would be a good idea to give
Sir Oliver to a farmer. This
suggests to me that he might
be left out of doors all winter
to freeze. 'What makes her
think a farmer's wife would
take an unbroken dog inside
any faster than she would?
In my opinion it would be an
act of kindness to have the dog
put to sleep rather than give
him to people who might abuse
him because they assume he
doesn't want to learn.—YORK,
PA,
Dear York: I am no author-
ity on pets but my friends who
are tell me that deaf dogs can
be housebroken. Retarded ani-
mals, they say, must be dealt
with according to the level of
retardation. Some are better off
"asleep" but a veterinarian
should make the decision,

Dear Ann Landers; I am an
18-year-old girl who is expect-
ing a child. I am not married
but I am engaged to a very
nice fellow. At first I was
ashamed of myself, but I am
not ashamed any more because
ours was an act of love,
Buzz and I planned to get
married before he went to jail
so you can see I'm in a tough
spot. He could get anywhere
from one to twenty years. Buzz
says he's sorry for what he did
but it's too late to talk about
that now.
What I want to know is
what is best for the child?
Should I marry Buzz and hope
for the best?—TEARS APLEN-
TY.
Dear Aplenty: Buzz may be
a "nice fellow" but if he must
spend the next 20 years in the
cooler he won't be much good
as a husband and father Talk
to the chaplain and accept his
counsel. He knows what Buzz
is in for and 'What his chances
are.
