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.

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! For further information on candle making, write to The Candle Making Institute, P.O.

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. 0-0-0 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, 0-0-0 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. 0--0--0 Liquor can ruin your mind, your body and your life, To learn the booby traps of teen- age drinking, write far Ann Landers' booklet, "Teen-age Drinking," enclosing with your request 20c in coin and a long, self-addressed stamped envel- ope.
