PAGE 4-THE JOURNAL, OGDENSBURG, N.Y.—WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1975 Dimensions Soft Waves Control Fall Wigs Old-Fashioned Idea Fruit Butter Supplies Smooth Preserve If you are interested in having an old- fashioned preserve on hand, you may cotton to the idea of making a fruit butter. Such a \butter\ is simply fruit pulp cooked with sugar until thick. In old-time families, a fruit butter might appear at a Sunday-best dinner along with roast beef, ham or chicken. Or it might show up at a light Sunday night supper to enhance the cold leftover meat or poultry. Some eaters treated the fruit butter as a condiment; some used it as a spread for hot biscuits, popovers or fresh homemade bread. The following recipe for Peach Butter is made from fresh peaches, water and sugar. No peeling of the fruit is necessary because it is put through a food mill. Although fruit butters are sometimes flavored with spice, we opted for a plain version this time around so the delicate peach flavor would have the best chance of coming through. PEACH BUTTER 4 pounds peaches (14 to 16 medium) 1 cup water 4 cups sugar Rinse peaches; if necessary, remove any fuzz by gently rubbing with a clean cloth; do not peel. Quarter peaches, dis- carding pits. Into a 4-quart saucepot turn the peaches and water; bring to a boil; cook over medium-low heat, covered and stirring occasionally, until soft — about 10 minutes; cool. Over a large mixing bowl put peaches, a portion at a time, through a food mill. Measure pulp — there should be about 7 cups; return pulp to the empty 4-quart saucepot; stir in sugar. Boil gently, skimming when foam collects and stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick — this will take from 1 hour to a s long as 1% hours; toward end of cooking stir very often and if mixture spatters too much, reduce heat to very low. Ladle into clean, dry, hot V 2 -pint wide- mouth jars, leaving x k -inch headspace. With a clean damp cloth, wipe top edge of jars. Seal at once according to jar manufacturer's directions. Process (see NOTE below) for 10 minutes. Remove jars and place, a few inches apart, on a wire rack or on a folded cloth. When cold, label and store in a cool, dry place. Makes six V2-pint jars. NOTE: To process, use a boiling water bath canner. Or improvise a canner by using a large saucepot with a rack and a cover; the rack should hold the jars about % inch above the bottom of the saucepot; the saucepot itself should be deep enough for the water to cover the jars at least 1 inch over their tops without boiling over. Fill the utensil you are using about half full of water and heat the water — it should be hot but not boiling when you put in the jars for processing. After the jars are on the rack in the utensil, if necessary add boiling water to cover them by at least 1 inch. Cover utensil and when water comes to a fast rolling boil, start counting the processing time and keep the water boiling. Extras Keep Museum Busy POTSDAM — A special exhibit and two craft workshops and keeping the Potsdam Museum busy this summer, along with re-organization of the museum collections and art con- servation work, according to Dee Little, director. The special exhibit \This is the Way She Irons Her Clothes\ features the Calvert iron collection, costumes from the museum's collections dating from 1850 to 1925, ironing boards and a flat iron stove. The exhibit will be on view until Sept. 5. The Craft Workshops remaining in this summer's workshop program in- clude \Introduction to; Photography\ being held this week at Potsdam High School under the direction of Sherwood Smith, and Batik, being taught next week, July 28 through Aug. 1, by Klara Lovass-Nagy. One space remains in the \Batik\ workshop, so interested per- sons should contact the museum im- mediately. Two other workshops, Pottery and Jewelry, are completed. As host institution for the Summer Art Conservation Project of the Regional Conference of Historical Agencies, the museum staff members have been working with Linda Tucker, of Cooperstown Art Conservation graduation program, and Denise Thomas, of Winterthur Conservation Graduate Program, to learn methods of cleaning, maintaining and storing paper, fabric, wood and metal objects and paintings. Reorganization of the storage areas is now in process to put the art conservation suggestions to use. The project ends this week. The two conservation students have also been working with the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, Canton; the Franklin County Historical Society and Museum in Malone; Constable Hall in Lewis County, and the Stone Mills Museum in Jefferson County. They also held a one-day conservation seminar for five local historians. The Art Con- servations Project has been made possible with the support of the N. Y. State Council on the Arts. A second RCHA Conservation team has been working for eight weeks in Canandaguia to serve historical agencies in that area. First Lady Reunited With Dance Teacher For all those not jumping on the Orient Express, the hair direction for fall is soft, wavy and loosely curled, often brushed with nostalgia. The natural waves of a '30's movie starlet will be updated along with the precise fingering detail of an earlier era that emphasized the shape of the head. As for curls, they won't disappear but fall versions will be loose and plentiful. Some will be close to the head encircling the face while other styles will tumble to the chin and beyond. All the hair cuts will have volume to balance fall's full though controlled silhouettes as well as gentleness in keeping with the soft, cozy fabrics that will abound. Will hair be up to looking great this fall after several months of being cooked in the sun and tossed in and out of salty water? It doesn't matter. Now, wigs,/ better than ever, can fill the void if one exists and work as a fashion accessory, besides. Natural is the key. The wig must look like really healthy hair. Elura wigs made of Monsanto modacrylic fiber have the look of real hair and come in colors skillfully blended to give depth and dimension. For instance, a Helen of Troy wig smoothed at the crown has a circle of soft curls. It comes in solid colors that are subtle blends of seven or eight tones that don't have a wiggy look. The smoothness also works with a smart turban, scarf-on-scarf or fuzzy pull-on cap. As for evening, gauzy chiffons and slinky velvets take on movie-star drama when worn with deep finger waves. Schiaparelli does a version just skim- ming the ears that can be combed out for a more casual look during the day. And for those who want to flirt with the Orient, there are many blunt-cut wig styles, touching the ear or the chin geared to work with everything that will be fashionable in fall '75. FLATTERING FULLNESS — If your hair is sun-bleached or dry from sitting out in the sun, a wig is the quickest fashion treatment possible. Fall wig fashions call for a soft, natural look to frame the Cystic Breast Disease Much More Common Than Cancer BALLET REUNION — First Lady of the United States was briefly reunited with a grand lady of ballet when Betty Ford visited her former dance teacher, Martha Graham, at her New York studio. Mrs. Ford is Honorary Chairman of the Martha Graham 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee which held a special benefit per- formance this month. The two sat briefly to watch a rehearsal of \Lucifer the new Graham ballet premiering this month, top left. At top right, performers warm up in yoga-like exer- cises.

LAMB—My doctor said I have fibrocystic disease in my left breast. He said it wasn't cancer. But, the moe I think about it, I wonder how would he know if it's cancerous or not. He mentioned it might be from leaking ovaries. I have never heard of anything like that. Can you tell me more about fibrocystic disease? When I was 14, about 30 years ago, I bumped this spot on a sharp edge of a record player. Would that have anything to do with it? Is an operation ever possible or necessary for this condition? DEAR v READER — Your are not the only one who has never heard of leaky ovaries. However, every doctor soon learns that what he hears from patients regarding what other doctors have said isn't always the whole story. People often misunderstand what their doctor has told them, particularly if they are Research Shows Boone In Idaho Before Explorers IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) - Was Daniel Boone in Idaho in 1776 — 29 years ahead of Lewis and Clark? That question is raised by Idaho Falls - author Louise Rutledge in a book \D. Boone 1776, a Western Bicentennial Mystery,\ which concludes it is possible the Kentucky trapper and his coonskin cap were in Idaho as far back as 1776. Mrs. Rutledge photographed in 1974 a very old dead tree on the Idaho side of the Continental Divide near the head- waters of a tributary of the Missouri River. It bore the inscription \D Boon 1776.\ Several months of research, Mrs. Rutledge said, revealed an astonishing number of events that indicate that Boone may have made a trip up the Missouri River to the Southern Mon- tana-Eastern Idaho area in 1776. Mrs. Rutledge's book says Boone attempted an overland trip to the Mississippi River in 1767 and mysteriously disappeared from his home in Boonesborough, Ky., for sev- eral months in 1776, long enough to make a trip to the Missouri River headwaters. In the twilight years of his life, Boone trapped along the Yellowstone River in Southern Montana, but Mrs. Rutledge said there is a possibility he could have been in the area earlier. Mrs. Rutledge is wife of Eugene Rutledge, director of the Idaho Nuclear Energy Commission. She was reared'in Tennessee, not far from the Cumberland Gap area where another tree was found bearing a Boone inscription. under stress or worried. So, I am in- clined to doubt that your doctor told you that your fibrocystic disease was caused by leaky ovaries.I suspect there has been an error in communication. We really don't know what causes fibrocystic disease of the breast. It is about three to four times more common than breast cancer. Apparently you are in your mid-40s. It occurs most often in women between the ages of 40 to 44, but is common from age 35 to 49. I t is also called chronic cystic mastitis. The diagnosis is presumed by the examining physician on the basis of how the breast feels. Often there are several lumps. The cysts may feel different from cancer. They may feel round or globular\ and rubbery. You can't always be sure that it is a cyst or cysts. No less an authority than Dr. Alton Ochsner of the famed Ochsner Clinic says one way he identified the cyst is to drain it with a needle. The area is cleaned and a local anesthetic is used in the skin over the cyst. With the cyst held firmly against the chest wall, the needle is inserted. The cyst is squeezed and the syringe is used to withdraw the fluid. The fluid is examined for any evidence of cancer. Dr. Ochsner states that if it is a cyst it usually will completely disappear. If it doesn't or if it refills then it is usually necessary to do a biopsy or a surgical removal of the cyst. The biopsy problem is a major one for some women with this disease. Multiple recurring cysts means multiple biopsies and recurrent trips to the hospital for these. Fortunately, the physical examination and the history of recurrent difficulties helps in making a decision on what to do. The use of mammography or, perhaps better, Xerography, a technique similar to xeroxing X ray films, is useful in identifying the nature of the lesion. However, in some cases the only way to tell for certain is by a biopsy and do. The use of mammography or, perhaps better, Xerography, a technique similar to xeroxing X ray films, is useful in identifying the nature of the lesion. However, in some cases the only way to tell for certain is by a biopsy and microscopic examination. Women with these problems need frequent t examinations, preferably every four to six months. This will help the physician avoid unnecessary surgical procedures. And, breast car- cinoma is two to five more common in women with cystic disease. So, my advice to you and all other women with this problem is to see your doctor no less than every six months for continued careful examinations. Incidentally, there' is no known relationship between bruising or in-. juring the breast and the development of either eyestic disease or cancer of the breast. m . Dear Abby By Abigail Van Buren •# Keep Freedom DEAR ABBY: I've been a widow for two years and have relocated to a completely different area where I have no close friends and no one to talk to about this. I met a gentleman last year, and I like him very, very much. He wants to marry me, but I don't want to relinquish my freedom. I do not want a legal tie with him for one reason. He is addicted to alcohol. He seems to handle it wisely, but I don't want to be his wife. Also, we are both in business and I need some time to myself. I enjoy his company enor- mously; however, and we are com- patible in every way. I am 57 and he is 63. I've considered suggesting to him the new \living together\ arrangement so many younger people now find to their liking. He's pressuring me for an an- swer. What do you say? \57 AND HOLDING\ DEAR \57\: Remain holding. Don't marry him feeling as you do. And don't suggest living together, either. Continue to see him as long as you enjoy his company, but if he gives you an \either- or,\ take the \or.\ Lesbian Daughter DEAR ABBY: The problem briefly: Our daughter (a good student at an out- of-town college) recently volunteered the information that she is a lesbian. We were stunned since we had no inkling of this. After discussions and correspondence on the subject, she flatly refuses any form of counseling and says that she is happy at the present time and sees no need to change. What more can we as parents do to keep her from ruining her life? We love ' her. NEW YORKER • DEAR NEW YORKER: Why do you assume that her sexual preference will necessarily \ruin\ her life? If you love her, accept her as she is and let her know it. Canine Allergy DEAR ABBY: I am highly allergic to dogs. The odor of dogs makes me sick. I can even smell it on people's clothing. My problem is that my son has married a dog lover, and they have a dog. I explained to them what my problem was and even offered to buy my daughter-in-law a monkey or any other kind of pet she wanted if only she would get rid of the dog. So far, she still has the dog. Of course I can't go over to their place, and when they come to see me, the odor of their dog is on them, and I can't tolerate it for long. It seems to me that my daughter-in- law could live without a dog if she had to choose between having one and seeing me. What do you think? HURT DEAR HURT: Asking a dog lover to get rid of her dog is asking a lot. But I agree, people are more important than dogs.\ Or they should be. CONFIDENTIAL TO K: So if your husband wants to read \dirty\ books, don't embarrass him by telling him you \found\ them — knowing that he hid them from you. How can what he reads hurt you? Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L. A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed en- velope, please. Hate to write letters? Send fl to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212, for Abby's booklet \How to Write Letters for All Occasions.\ Please enclose a long, self- addressed, stamped (20 cents) envelope. Art Works Sold By Food Co-Op SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — About 2y 2 years ago Pat Coates and her daughter, Sandi Piccini, got interested in doing something about the high cost of food. To sidestep the consumer traps they feel are set by the big food conglomerates, they started a modest food cooperative which they operated out of their homes. It started with 17 families and has reached its goal of 34. As the food co-op blossomed several artists contacted the women and requested that they promote their art works in addition to handling food. Soon the home was inadequate for the operation. Now they are installed in a nondescript South San Francisco warehouse. Dozens of artists use their services. In addition to the paintings there are sculptures, antique furniture and even an aquarium. \^ In consumer circles they have become such experts in handling food cooperatives, that they, have become consultants for other groups who want to get into that money-saving business
