Make it now for Christmas gifts and you'll avoid the last minute rush, besides I like to take my time and make small batches at a time. I know it's not apricot, tangerine and raspberry season quite yet, but if I don't remember to get these recipes to you now, I just might forget and I wouldn't want you to have to wile away the summer being bored or with nothing to do! Make these goodies whenever the urge sweeps over you and you will surely be glad you did come December. I am going to make the fruit jam for Christmas this year to give with some of my favorite breads, like the Dill Bread that follows. This is a lovely, big recipe and you can make bread for all of your friends at one time, but you do have to have a large bowl or pan to mix in. For the best jams, pickles and can- P ' ning fruits, always buy the freshest produce available. Use" distilled white vinegar for clear, crisp pickles and always allow finished pickles or jams to stand a few days before serving. The orange-pineapple pickles can be made any time of the year. FRUIT JAM 3 lbs. fresh ripe unpeeled apricots, pitted and thinly sliced i 2V2 to 3 boxes fresh raspberries I 30 oz. crushed pineapple, drained I Sugar Put fruit in a large bowl and weigh it, then empty fruit into a 6-8 quart heavy kettle. If aluminum is used, make sure inside is bright to prevent j darkening of fruit. In same bowl used to weigh fruit, add to sugar to equal I weight of fruit. Add this to kettle, stir thoroughly, then bring to a steady rolling boil on medium to high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching scor-ching or sticking. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil. Stir often and cook about 20 minutes, or until thick enough for a teaspoonful to remain in place when dropped on a plate to cool. Seal in sterilized jars while hot. Makes about 12 pints. APRICOT-CITRUS MARMALADE VA cups dried apricots 3 tangerines 1 orange V cup orange juice Wash berries and slice. Combine with sugar in a 4-quart enameled or stainless steel pot. Let stand several hours or overnight, until natural juices form. Bring jam to boiling and stir very gently until sugar dissolves. Keep at a moderate boil for 10 minutes. Add grated orange rind and orange juice. Return to heat and bring to boiling again. Test for a jelly-stage when the liquid slides from spoon to form a large drop. This will be about 3 minutes after jam returns to boiling. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Pour hot jam into hot, sterilized jars. Seal or cover with I8-inch hot paraffin. Makes about 5 cups jam. Makes 3 pints. SPICED ORANGE-PINEAPPLE PICKLES 6 large, thick-skinned oranges life cups honey ,j cup distilled white vinegar 10 whole cloves 3 small sticks cinnamon Do you know a five-year-old who wants to wear certain types of clothing? Are you concerned that your children want to wear clothing that is inappropriate for the situation? A child's self-concept is based to a large extent on information acquired through interaction with others. The process of developing a self-concept begins in childhood and continues throughout life. Because clothing and personal appearance are important factors in the impressions formed by others they indirectly influence the development of the self-concept. During infancy and early childhood parents select clothing for their children. What is selected communicated com-municated information about the infant in-fant and the family since family affluence, af-fluence, or lack of it, may be evident. Parents work at establishing identity of sex early because boys traditionally traditional-ly wear blue and girls wear pink. At this age children are beginning to internalize in-ternalize the reactions of others to their appearance because adults respond res-pond to children on the basis of the sex of the child. Boys are usually treated to a certain amount of rough housing while girls received more gentle treatment. Parents may be shocked at the lack of modesty exhibited by their children. There is little evidence that modesty is instinctive, because small children are very happy to be naked. As they grow older, they learn that nudity is socially unacceptable. Standards of modesty vary between Eastern and Western cultures. In becoming social beings, children gradually adjust to the standards of norms of society. Socializing agents include in-clude parents and peers. Our clothing being a part of our appearance that can be changed easily, enables us to readily move from one image to another. Children use clothing and play to experiment with different roles and qualities. They gradually learn cultural norms also.

Parker, was recognized upon his graduation from Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, for his scholastic achievement as an accounting major by college president Joe J. Christensen. Julie Larson, daughter of Bishop Lawrence and Mrs. Luane Larson of Dry Fork, won honors at Utah State University for her piano recital. Vaughn and Margie Molt went to Denver taking the John llelco family and friends to visit their son, Bobby, In the hospital Saturday and Sunday. They all returned In time Sunday to see Eric Burfilt receive his Eagle Scout Award at the Maeser Second Ward court of honor. Edith Gale, with daughter Fhyllis Turner, Lois and Dale Dahms and daughter, I Ann Dahms. and son El wayne Gale have returned from a trip which anticipate roles that they may realistically assume in life. Observe small children at play and you will find that they pretend to be parents or they take on different occupational roles. Clothing can be an important part of this type of play. Girls may "dress up" in mother's shoes, makeup and jewelry. Girls engage in this type of play more often than boys. Clothing takes on special significance in other ways also. Children tend to become aware of even subtle clues to sex differences dif-ferences in clothes at an early age. A boy may refuse to wear pants without a fly and zipper like his father because he identifies pull-on elastic pants with female roles. Small children adopt mannerisms of the parent they use as a model. Have you seen a small boy walk or wear a hat just like his dad or favorite uncle? Children develop imaginative and creative characteristics when they engage in fantasy. It's fun to become Superman or Wonder Woman by dressing up in costume, and make-believe make-believe role takes on a sense of power and credibility because of the costume. Adults also like to escape by taking on another role. Some recent fads and fashions like "urban cowboy" and "new wave" are good examples of this. Children act out or try on roles to see how well they fit the self-concept. This socialization process involves parents, teachers, siblings and playmates. Through significant interaction with others the child integrates opinions and attitudes in his self-concept. So if your child wants to wear something which seems strange or unusual, perhaps he is mimicking a favorite person or investigating a different dif-ferent role. If you have recently taken on a new role you have an idea of how hard it is to redefine your self-concept. It takes a lot of work to learn to drive, become a parent or take on a new job. Small children work hard to develop a personal definition of self and sometimes they use clothing in the process.

TalRoy and Wyomia Merkley and children of Tooele and Karlene Merkley of Provo spent Mother's Day at their parents home, Tad and Sharon Merkley.
