Although it is fried chicken, any resemblance to the old familiar fried chicken is purely accidental for this spicy, yet crunchy, dish. After frying the chicken, which is coated first with flour and spices, Mrs. Wilson places It on paper towels in a pan and puts it in the oven for about 15 minutes before serving to remove any excess oil or fat.

Skamenca, Editor Phone S4-47M Catherine Mauck Frozeh Dinner Can Aid Cook Cooking for one person can be as much of a problem as cooking for a large family, says Mrs. Catherine Mauck, home extension adviser, who suggests that you make your own frozen dinners.

The dinners can be prepared in just the amourt you wish, avoiding the problem of leftovers. To start off, rcast a good sized cut of meat; make gravy and cook and mash potatoes. Prepare a favorite vegetable with seasoning. Put a serving of each food on a sectional foil tray. Meat freezes better, if it is covered with gravy.

Cover the tray with foil, label the package and freeze it promptly. The frozen dinners will be ready for an unexpected guest. It is as easy to heat two or three dinners as one. To bring the dinners to serving temperature, put them in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, leaving the foil cover on while heating. All kinds of meat in gravy freeze and reheat well, as do mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, corn and most other vegetables.

Woolens Need Special Care To retain beauty and get maximum wear from a wool garment, hang them immediately after wearing. Wool fabrics are elastic and light wrinkles often smooth out overnight. Steam away firmly-set wrinkles by hanging the garment in the bathroom while you shower; be sure hangers are properly shaped to maintain shoulder lines.

Hang pants by the cuffs, skirts by the waistband. Treat spots promptly; blot moisture immediately, after consulting a stain chart for removing various types of stains. A cloth or sponge that has been dipped in tepid, sudsy water and wrung almost dry may prevent damage. Never rub wool fabrics. Follow manufacturer's directions when washing woven wools.

Generally, a short wash cycle, gentle agitation with cool to lukewarm water and soap or detergent is all that is needed. Wool naturally releases soil readily when laundered under proper conditions. Many knitted wool garments may be machine washed in the same way as woven fabrics. Shape garments on a flat surface afterward and dry away from sunlight. When hand-washing woolens, mix soap or detergent and cool water to lukewarm to form suds immersing garment.

Squeeze suds through fabric several times. Support fabric with your hands as wool fibers are weaker when wet. Use a gentle first wash for two minutes followed by fresh sudsy water and an added one-minute squeeze washing. Rinse thoroughly and roll garment in thick towel to absorb excess moisture before laying it flat to dry. Many treated wool garments tagged "machine washable" may be dried in a dryer.

Always follow manufacturer's instructions for best results.

DOG SOUTH 159--TROY ROAD EDWARDSVILLE, ILLINOIS Lesson on Sealoood Presented How to cook seafood and eat It too was demonstrated recently in a lesson on "Fish and Seafood Cooking" by Mrs. Robert Berle- maim and Mrs. Lester Troeekler at a meeting of the Glen Carbon Unit, Madison County Homemakers Extension Association.

The lesson was one given by all homemaker units, explaining the generally low cost of fish and seafood (with the exception of lobster, scallops, crab and shrimp) and seafood's nutritive benefits. Low in fats and calories, fish has as much protein as meat, the women said. It has trace minerals the body needs. Ocean fish and shellfish also have iodine that the body needs; fish generally are rich in amino acids, called the "building blocks of the body cells." Besides the nutrition benefits, fish and seafood are a welcome change from "plain old meat and potatoes," the women demonstrated in a complete meal. The menu contained easy-to- prepare fish (from frozen to the table in less than 30 minutes'), scallop kabobs, crab patties, fried clams and broiled lobster tails.

The meal was served with a green combination salad and topped off with cherry cheese cake or oatmeal cake for dessert. Mrs. Martin White was hostess to unit members. Mrs. Larry Oden assisted.

The lesson on fire safety was presented by Mrs. Lawrence Pashea, -who told members each family should have an escape plan in mind in the event that their home should ever be struck by fire.
