Freezing Peaches
For Winter Use
Freeze peaches now and en-
joy their fresh fruit flavor in the
cold months of winter, Here
are some tips to preserve the
flavor, color, and texture of
fresh peaches.
Use only table -ripe peaches
at eating maturity. Remove
peach skins by dipping in boil-
ing water for about one minute,
and then in cold water. Slice
as for serving. Add sugar in
proportion of one'to six (one
pound sugar to six pounds fruit).
Dissolve.
To prevent discoloration,
add pure ascorbic acid in pro-
portion of one-quarter teaspoon
to one pound fruit. Be sure to
use moisture -vapor -proof pack-
aging and place peaches in the
freezer at 0 degrees F or lower.
Not all varieties freeze well,
Redhaven, Envoy, Sunbeam and
Veteran give satisfactory results.

Dear Ann Landers: My 7
year-old son is driving me nuts.
When Jerome was born I near-
ly died. It was one of the most
difficult births my doctor had
ever attended. I labored for
two ,nights and three days and
then they had to do a Caesar-
ian section.
Jerome was a colicky baby
and I was up with him day and
night for weeks. When he was
nine months old he developed
a fish scale -type of rash. The
doctor discovered he was aller-
gic to
housedust,chicken
e.
fathers cow'silk and just m �
about everything you can think
of.
Jerome never got along with
other children. He grabbed
their toys, knocked them down
and was unpopular from the
first day I took him to play
in the park. It's the same story
in school. The teachers can't
stand him. They say he is a
show-off and a disruptive in-
fluence in the classroom,
My husband insists it is my
fault because I never clamped
down on the boy. I say it is my
husband's fault because he's
never home and I can't manage
Jerome alone. Help me before
I crack up.—MISERABLE.
Dear Miserable: You speak
of the difficult birth and the
colic and allergies as if you
were the victim of a conspiracy
plotted by Jerome himself.
Your resentment toward the
child may account for his re-
belliousness and yes, perhaps
even his illnesses. "Problem
children" are children with a
problem.
You need professional help

and you need it at once. In
fact, now you need two special-

Dear Ann Landers: Why
would a person look you
straight in the eye and deny
that a member of her family
suffered excruciating pain for
a long time before her death?
When I offered my sympathy
she said, "I don't believe she
suffered. She seemed comfort-
able e and cheerful to the end
„
It was the same as calling me a
liar. Why would a person do
this ?—INSULTED.
Dear Insulted: It is perfectly
human to reject the notion that
those we love are in agony. We
prefer to believe that drugs are
protecting a dear one from the
pain that often accompanies a
lingering illness.
Real friends offer comfort,
not hurtful speculation. The
person who says, "It's too bad
she had to suffer so much"
contributes nothing useful.
Sueh comments contain a tinge
of sadism disguised as sym-
pathy.

Dear Ann Landers: My prob-
lem resulted from a letter in
your column. You said a wife
should have some knowledge of
her husband's business affairs
—that she should talk to him
about his will, his insurance
and so on.
My husband is 70 years old.
When I showed him your col-
umn and asked if his affairs
were in order he blew his top
and shouted, "My will is my
personal property. I have
never disclosed its contents to
any of my beneficiaries. You
get a better break than the
law allows."
What do you think of an an-
swer like that?—B.S.R.
Dear B.S.R.: Some people
find it difficult and/or depres-
sing to discuss death or any-
thing connected with it. This is
unrealistic, but understandable.
A man of 70 who answers
you like that is not going to
change. It's unfortunate that
you must be denied the peace
of hind that comes with know-
ing the facts, but unless your
lawyer can persuade your hus-
band to be more realistic, I'd
advise you to stay off the sub-
ject.
