~ By GAIL WIDMOYER Many local women may not be pleased with the news, but after 41 years as a hairdresser. Myrtle Felkner is ready to retire. “I’m just ready for a rest,” said Mrs. Felkner. “Milford is a very active community and there are lots of things 1 want to do. "People have been very kind about it (her retiring) and I’m very thankful that Bobi Doll is opening a shop in town. There’s room for three shops in Milford,” said the experienced stylist Mrs. Felkners shop has been at 207 South Main Street, in thi basement of her home, for 14 years where she has worked with Bea Ruch for 12 years As of December 31, the shop will no longer be at the Main Street location “There isn’t another job I would have enjoyed like this one," Mrs. Felkner said as she began to list her plans after retirement Planned Activities “My/ first priority is to clean my house the way I want to.’ she said, ‘ML even have plans for the room where the shop is. ' ’ Besides cleaning her house. Mrs Felkner is active in the Milford First Brethren Church and the American Legion Auxiliary “There's plenty in town to keep me busy If anyone sits at home and is lonely, it’s their own fault. ’ continued Mrs Felkner Taking short trips and reading are another two of her hobbies. More of Mrs Felkner s time is occupied by her two-year-old granddaughter, Stacie Sparks As in any job involving the public, Mrs Felkner has many anecdotes about her business, from closing the shop to sell tickets for a hot air balloon that landed in her in-laws field to sending sick people from her shop to the hospital "Now I’m going to use my time for things I want to do." she concluded
LOUISA’S LETTER
Dear Louisa. I have heard that there are people who unconsciously like to punish themselves because they feel guilty about things they have failed to do. I couldn't believe such a thing but recently 1 have been concerned about a neighbor who always seems to be in a stir and I can't understand why this is so. She is well and has help, yet she always has no help when she needs it most. Neighbor-Tenn. Answer: 1 really haven't the answer to this but she does sound as though she is trying to prove something and that she is going about it the

wrong way. She may feel that she is a failure in some phase of her life and is unconsciously punishing herself by doing hard jobs. Some men and women never grow up emotionally and are constantly trying to get attention or approval from others 1 . Some feel guilty about things they have done in the past and continue to let these things influence their lives. If this is true of your friend my advice would be this: If she has done all she can to atone for the past, bury it. Realize that there are no perfect people in the world and that all of us, at one time or another, have done things that we regret. She shoyld ask forgiveness and organize her life so that there is no place in it for hate and dissention. If we expect and look for the best in people that is usually what we will find. But if we pry around for faults in others and in ourselves it will only bring unhappiness. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S.

Planning for holiday parties
By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN New Year's Eve and entertaining naturaUy go together. It is a time to be with friends and bring in the new year. If you will be the hostess you’ll have many preparations to make to assure your party’s success as well as safety. Your first consideration will be the food. The food you serve will depend on the type of party, the time, the ages and preferences of the people invited, and your budget. Never experiment with a new dish for a party. If you've found a recipe that sounds exciting, give it a test run on your family first. This may mean investing a few extra dollars in a dress rehearsal, but it spares you the embarrassment of failure or the disappointment of a less-than-smashing success. Take advantage of do-ahead dishes. Bake cakes, cookies and pastries ahead of time. Many hors d’oeuvres and casseroles can be assembled a day early and simply baked or reheated at party time. ' Plan no more than one dish that calls for split-second timing. Avoid top-of-the range and broiler cooking as much as possible, as well as sauces and souffle desserts that demand the full attention of the cook at zero hour. Include one spectacular dish. A beautiful mold, an exotic vegetable combination, or a flaming dessert will cast an aura of glamor over the most commonplace meat-and-potatoes meal. Your final consideration will be the food safety of your party. Don’t say, “It won’t happen in my house.” Food poisoning is always a threat when you entertain. Parties create special food safety hazards Often food sets on buffets for hours as guests come and go. Follow the same food safety rules when entertaining as you follow when cooking for your family. Always keep hot foods hot — above 140 degrees Fahrenheit — and cold foods cold — below 40 degrees. These temperatures will prevent bacteria from growing. Bacteria grow best in lukewarm foods, so never allow food to stand at room temperature more than two hours. Keep seafood, and poultry dishes, cooked meats and other hot protein-type perishables hot on an electric hot tray or chafing dish. A candle-powered warming unit may not be sufficient to keep foods hot enough. Cream pies, dairy type desserts, cold seafood, salads, and cold dishes made
