1 J Cape May Sampler to Debut I \

WEST CAPE MAY - What goes into the creation * of a sampler? More than meets the eye, f Karen Village designially for i threespring, ^ when a ~ er from Jed her gn such wer was haven't mougni aDoui 11. The idea, once planted, grew, and a rough copy ' was done in April. It took all of May to get the' sampler worked up. Many little details must be worked out to make up a kit. \ The. project is now in th£<y home stretch, as the kits^" need only to be packed up to be ready for sale. The sampler will be making its debut at the annual Victorian Fair at the Physick Estate, Washington Street, Cape May, Saturday when the kits will be available for purchase. The things that remind her of Cape May are included in the design, combined to retain an old fashioned flavor, says McPherson.

The background is sand ■ ' colored, with a border of \ shells and sea weed. Included in an arch of the

"gingerbread" which 1 characterizes the city's Victorian architecture, over Capt. Jacob Mey's

ship, with its two-whale I escort. ; The traditional alphabet | follows. Beneath it is a Victorian I scene featuring the Band- I shell, a rider on a high- I wheeled bicycle, and a I bustled stroller with | parasol. [ To complete the Victorian air, the bottom has a hairpin fence, set off by the tulips which brighten Cape May for the annual tulip festival. McPherson expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Peggy Danaher foi working up the first model sampler from a "terribly rough draft." Under pressure to finish by a deadline, Mrs. Danaher beat it by four days. Thanks also went to her husband, Dave, for his forbearance when Mrs. Danaher was engrossed for hours with the sampler. The sampler's creater also thanked her mother for taking care of ner house and children while she worked on the graph. Needlecrafters will, Karen hopes, enjoy making the Sampler of Cape May as she enjoyed putting it together.

CAPE SAMPLER — With seashore and Victorian motifs. Sampler of Cape May was created for city by Karen McPherson of West Cape May's Village stitchery.

Take Care Handling Summertime Food

COURT HOUSE - Forty percent of the reported outbreaks of food poisonings in the United States occur between the months of May and October. The summer tradition of outdoor picnics, barbecues, and beach paptie^ combined with hot weather and improper handling of food create a

favorable set of conditions for food poisonings, warns Andrew W. Melchiorre, of the county Health Department. The symptoms of food poisoning usually last a few days and can be treated with ordinary home remedies such as a bland diet, plenty of fluids and an intidiarrheal drug. However, some forms can be fatal if thd symptoms are severe or it the victim is very young or very old, or was alreaay sick. In yjr-h caags prjgttbt medical atlentidnvts<?(lled for. When you- suspect a food poisonin&xepbrt it to the Health Department and warn others who may have eaten 'the sameN^jod. If possible, saveSihe suspected food in ^he refrigerator for the Health Department inspector, and make sure no one else eats it. Tainted foods do not always smell, taste, or look bad. TO KEEP food poisoning from occurring the following preventive measures should be observed : Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. On picnics use a portable icebox, thermos bottles or dry ice to

keep foods cold. All milk, meat, poultry, fish, fruit juices, and food containing uncooked or quick cooked eggs should be kept cold. Do not take picnic foods made with mayqnnaise, eggs or milk products unless they can be refrigerated. Do not overstock the refrigerator or cooler. When packing a cooler ^ start with refrigerated food and leave enough room for air to circulate. Test food in about an hour using a food thermometer on food farthest from the ice. DO NOT LEAVE food standing on the table while eating your picnic. Keep hot foods hot and put cold foods back in the cooler immediately after serving. Thaw all meats and poultry in the refrigerator. For fast thawing put food in a plastic bag and hold under cold running water It is important to have the temperature high wough to thaw but low enoagft^q prevent bacterial grovfrtlj on the food surface. ' WASH KNIVES and CUt/J ting surfaces after cutting up raw meats or poultry before using those implements to make sand-

wiches. Don't place cooked food on an unwahsed plat ter that had raw meat on it. i Always wash hands carefully before handling foods and avoid preparing foods if you have an infected cut or sore.
