During "Membership
The Alvin. Friendswood,
Pearland Association for Re-
tarded Children is making an
all-out effort to enlist new
members during March, de-
signated as ‘‘membership
month” for local associations
across the country.
“Mental retardation today
is everybody’s problem." as-
serts Rev. Jack Hale, presi-
dent of the AFP Association.
"Retardation has been recog-
nized, at long last, as a major
health problem which must be
attacked simultaneously at all
levels - national, state and
community."
The Association is making a
bid for new members among
such groups as special educa-
tion teachers, doctors, social
workers, clergy and citizens
concerned with the welfare of
all residents of this area. One
of the highest barriers topro-
gress in the fight against men-
tal retardation is public a-
pathy, it is pointed out in the
Association’s printed ma-
terials.
Increased interest in the
Association and its work for
the retarded has occurred as
a result of the installation of
special education classes for
the retarded in the Alvin
school system. Speakers from
the Association have been well
received before local civic
clubs and more such events
are scheduled.
Initially organized as a
group of parents of retarded
children, the Alvin, Friends-
wood, Pearland Association is
seeking the cooperation of
citizens who represent a
cross-section of the com-
munity. Membership is open
to anyone interested in help-

HowShorp Is Your Egg Head?
Eggs play such a common-
place, taken-for-granted, role
in the life of most every U, S.
citizen that many shoppers
simply pick up a carton from
their grocer’s display case
with never a thought about
size, quality or freshness.
Here are some questions
and answers which might
prove interesting and at the
same time provide up to date
and correct information on the
buying and storing of eggs.
Answer true or false, and then
check with the answers pro-
vided.
1. A U. S. Grade A Large
egg is better than a U. S.
Grade A Medium egg.
2. You should never use a
dirty or cracked egg in an egg-
nog.
3. To keep their quality,
store eggs promptly with large
end up in the refrigerator.
4. A U. S. Grade B egg
will be just as nutritious as a
U.S. Grade A egg.
5. All eggs in a carton mark-
ed '’Large" are identical in
size.
6. Not all cartons marked
"Grade A" have been offi-
cially graded by the Federal-
State Grading Service.
7. Eggs are no good after
a week in the refrigerator.
8. If you want to serve
poached eggs, U. S. Grade
AA or A eggs would be your
best choice.
9. Shell color does not af-
fect the nutntuve value or
quality of an egg.
10. Leftover egg yolks
should be covered with cold
water before storing in the re-
frigerator.
Check your answers with
those below, and if each cor-
rect answer meant a prize of
one egg, how big an omelet
could you make?
1. False. A large egg is
bigger than a medium egg,
not better. Size refers to the
weight of the egg; the grade
ed accidentally, use it only
in thoroughly cooked dishes.
Don't use dirty eggs for any
purpose.
3. True. Keeping eggs large
end up will keep the yolk from
sticking to the shell and keep
their natural quality longer.
Keeping them in the refrig-
erator is essential to keep the
egg’s natural quality. Get the
eggs under refrigeration as
soon as possible. Holding them
for any length of time in a
warm place can result in qual-
ity loss.
4. True. The Grade E egg
may not look quite as nice as
the Grade A egg if you fry
or poach it, but it will be
just as nutirtious.
5. False. If a carton of
USDA-graded eggs is labeled
‘‘Large," all the eggs together
must weigh at lease 24 ounces.
There may be some slight
variation between individual
eggs, but rarely should any be
smaller than the average for
‘‘Large," 2 ox. per egg. If
you find apparent disparity in
egg sizes, chances are you'll
have some eggs larger than
the average marked, not smal-
ler. Here are the minimum
weights per dozen for com-
monly sold sizes. Extra large.
27 ounces: large. 24 ounces;
medium. .21 ounces; small,
18 ounces.
6. True. Only egg cartons
marked with the official US-
DA grade shield have been of-
ficially graded under the Fed-
eral-State grading service
Eggs marked simply “Grade
A" are supposed to meet State
or local standards for quality
which usually are based on
Federal standards.
7. False. Eggs will lose
some quality (appearance) af-
ter a week in the refrigera-
tor, but they will usually still
be just as good in taste and in
nutrituve value. To prevent
off-taste, don’t store eggs,
next to cheese, citrus, fish,
or other aromatic foods.
8. True. U. S. Gratje AA
and A eggs have high stand-
ing yolks, and thick whites
and won’t spread out in the

Houston Grand
Performing Bal
The Ballad of Baby Doe. an
American opera written by
Douglas Moore, will be pre-
sented by the Houston Grand
Opera February 20, and 22.
The opera was first per-
formed in 1956 and has since
received over 175 perform-
ances by more than 30 com-
panies. It is based on the lives
of three people who actually
lived in Colorado at the end of
the 19th century: the wealthy
silver king, HoraceTabor,his
staunch New England wife, Au-
gusta, and a beautiful young
girl, Elizabeth Doe.affection-
ately nicknamed ‘'Baby." The
opera is full of colorful char-
acters: miners, dance hall
girls, gamblers, dandies, so-
ciety women, and even poli-
ticians (including William
Jennings Bryan and President
Chester A. Arthur) but their
roles are shown only as they
touch on the lives of the three
main characters. It is essen-
tially a dramatic and moving
story about Tabor and Baby
Doe, who defy society by al-
lowing their love to flourish
openly. Augusta's struggle
with her own inability to ex-
press love for Tabor adds a
further dimension to the story.
Singing the role of Baby Doe
is Patricia Brooks from the
New York City Opera. As
beautiful as Baby Doe her-
self, Miss Brooks’ voice has
repea.edly beeq described as
if it came from 41 “dazzling
nightingale."

sity of Houston. The groom
