Classic cheese fondues are more complicated than hot oil fondues, she said, although there are simplified versions now.

If cheese fondue separates, it can be corrected by stirring in a mixture of wine, lemon juice, or other liquid used in making the fondue. Dessert fondues sometimes are of the hot oil variety, said Mrs. Ridder, but ire more often a sauce for dipping fruit pieces. Peanut butter, a few chopped nuts, or a little crushed peppermint may be added to chocolate fondue. Fondue parties are popular Fondues are popular especially during the holiday season because they require participation by all guests in food preparation, said Yvonne L.

Ridder. area home economist with the University of Missouri-Columbia Extension Division. Guests who may not be well acquainted, she said, usually find it easier to start talking when they have something to do like cooking over fondue pots. Fondue experts often recommend having at least one fondue cooker for every four persons. she said, but this number may easily be increased without any problem.

Even eight persons may cook in me metal pot heated by canned fuel without increasing the cooking time but a few seconds." In the case of non -electric fondue cookers, Mrs. Ridder suggested heating the fondue oil on the stove before placing it on the stand. A temperature of 425 degrees is usually recommended for meat or chicken cubes and 375 degrees for seafood or meatballs, she said. Using a thermometer practices act.

Kansas City, Mo. 64112 Phone: 816-753-4212 BY THE MISSOURI PRESS NEWS SERVICE CASON INTRODUCES REORGANIZATION BILL A bill to reorganize the executive branch of Missouris government landed in the legislative hopper with a thud last week. The seven pound, two ounce document, prefiled by Sen. William J.

Cason ID-Clinton), is probably the largest bill ever presented to the Legislature in its 152 year history. It also is one of the most important. Contained in the bill's 542 typewritten pages is the legislation required to implement the State Reorganization Amendment approved by voters Aug. 8. Under the reorganization plan, the states 80-plus executive units and 440 programs will be placed under a new office of administration and 13 major departments.

A 14th departmental slot is being left open for future use. Cason, chief sponsor of the bill and chairman of the House-Senate committee which developed it, said the committee was guided by a desire to solve people problems. It may not do all the things its proponents hoped it would do, Cason said. But it will, certainly, bring the state government a little bit closer to the individual citizen who has to deal with any department. Cason said he wanted to be more realistic than those who claimed reorganization would save millions of dollars, but added that in the long run it will be time and effort well spent and it will surely save some money by eliminating costly duplication and inefficiency.

The senator also said that he did not personally agree with everything in the bill and would welcome suggestions for change from the public and lawmakers. The bill also formalizes by statute several agencies that previously existed by executive order. A number of other boards, commissions and agencies would be abolished. It also stipulates that most divisional directors will be appointed by departmental directors rather than by the governor as in the past The exceptions include the superintendent of the highway patrol and the director of the division of liquor control who will be appointed by the governor. The Senates advice and consent function would be expanded to include departmental directors jobs in many cases and appointments by certain agencies and commissions.

A general description of the composition of each department is included in the three and a half page index to the bill. The following is a broad sketch of each department and the office of administration.

Higher SS taxes now in effect Missouri taxpayers will pay $294 million more in federal social security taxesd next year than in 1972, Missouri Public Expenditure Survey said in a report released today. The increase is by far the largest to occur in a single year since the social security tax was first imposed in 1937, the Survey said, and results mainly from major increases in the tax enacted this year, combined with a previously scheduled rate increase.

The increased tax paid by Missourians next year will be more than the added amount they would pay if the state sales tax were increased by 2 cents, the Survey said. Missourians will pay $1.3 billion in total social security taxes next year, the Survey said, which is more than they pay in state taxes to finance their state government. Substantial benefits have been provided, the Survey said, but as a result of seven increases in the last ten years, many persons are finding the once-small social security tax is exceeding their federal income tax. To employers it becomes a substantial payroll expenditure, the Survey said. The maximum social security tax will increase by $163.80 next year for employees, to be matched by their employers, the Survey said.

It will reach $631.80 in 1973 for each, and $864 for the self-employed. The tax rate for employees will increase from 5.2 per cent to 5.85 per cent, and will apply to the first $10,800 of wages instead of $9,000 as at present. Another increase is scheduled for 1974, the Survey said. Wages subject to the tax will rise to $12,000, resulting in an increase in the maximum tax for employees to $702. Three future rate increases are also scheduled in the law.

Congress has also provided that, beginning in 1975, benefits will automatically increase when the cost of living increases by more than 3 per cent, the Survey said. When that occurs, it said, provision is made for an increase in the maximum wage subject to the tax. East Side Square We all have plans.
