Calendar check reveals helpful ways to ease holiday pressures planned their gift choosing carefully! Yet it still leaves an opportunity for those who have in- advertently forgotten someone who should be remembered, to fill the gap. * * You can bank on it that all of die stores that want to serve you right up to the last minute will be open to help you all day Saturday and many far into Saturday evening, also. Some may be open for limited hours on Stinday — a cus- tom that has been spreading across the country in places where local laws permit this. But remember, there is a deadline involved because Christmas Eve comes that Sunday evening, and everything should be shipshape for the surprises of the following morning before all folks turn in for the night. All of which means that if you were to make a little chart f9r yourself that would set up your shopping time schedule in relation to the folks on your list, you find it a lot easier to get your gift shopping done. 4, * *-- Best plan would be to figure a "buffer" day of free time to give you a chance to roam a lot of places for a chance to just see what's' available. This might best be done at the beginning of your shop- • ping program. * * * That will brings shouts of "whoopee" to many because it means this year's Christmas Weekend can be a long one — a full three-day fun-filled weekend for every member of the family.

ANT., KV. 30, 1972 Caunt the days etween Life-style may prove most helpful guide ito better gifting Basing one's selection of gifts on the "Life Styles" of various relatives and friends has given rise in many stores, to a clustering of gift sug- gestions befitting the spe- cific individualized interests of those on the list to be re- membered. Yet, whether or not stores choose to organize their sug- gestions into clustered dis- plays, the principle can work handsomely for the gift giver. Consider, for ex ple, the Life Style of th wom- an occupying an important place on your list, built around entertaining friends at home. This means mostly hav- ing folks in for diarreN for cocktails or for luncheons or other types of parties. Many choices The gift suggestions that would offer most acceptable pleasure here might range from a hostess gown through Career women to get shopping time break and Christmas a A something substantial in the way of furniture, and small but decorative appliances such as hot trays. Indicative of the fact that considering gifts selections on the basis of one "Life Style" can be mighty, suc- cessful and yet easy on the budget, is the availability of such inexpensive presents as a set of ash trays, an ap, propriate serving dish, bar utensils. These all become appropriate. Another example of giv- ing to fit into the "Life Style" is in the area of out- door living and recreation. A vast number of nice peo- ple have made this the basis of their new Life Style. Range is broad. And once again the range for gifting becomes broad indeed. Start, if you will, by con- sidering some handsomely styled new outdoor winter wear, Think in terms of new games for the outdoor en- thusiasts who happen to be housebound. Or ldok ahead by choos- ing something for the patio, comes the shining sun . . , a barbecue grill, or if the budget is tight, any one of the many accessories that lend convenience and eclat to this type of Life Style. Moving on to the play area, involving participation sports as a Life Style, and blending somewhat with the above, there is "ping-pong" which appears to be the in- game (no pun intended) of the year. Popularity of chess also has multiplied tremen- dously for obvious reasons. Fit into budget But these are "indoor" gift ideas for the most part. Outdoor sports gifts sug- gestions are myriad indeed. There are too many to list here. Yet once again, depend- ing on the specific sports in- terest, the gift to be chosen may be grand indeed or fit- ted into anyone's modest budget—a container of ten- nis balls for the enthusiast or, all the way down to the "stocking stuffier" category, a decoratively packaged set of tees for the golfer, - Christmas for the gift giv- er who thinks in terms of the recipient's Life Style can be most rewarding indeed.

The children are snuggled in their beds. The tree is se- cure in its stand. And it's time to trim the tree. But — Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year, and tree trimmers would be wise to check the lights far in advance. Sunday night will find most stores closed up tight, a proposition that could chill the heart of a tree trimmer trying to find Christmas bulbs to replace those that are not working. An early check on the lights means time in which to get replacement bulbs, and a supply of extras. There's always next year. Coptic. Customs * Rule in Ethiopia Ethiopia-is a land which has been Christian for some 1600 years. The Ethiopian Orthodox Coptic Church, which has much in common with other Eastern Rite churches, such as the Greek and the Russian, is the es- tablished church of the na- tion. In its interesting and unusual customs, which are a blend of Christian, Heb- raic, and pagan tradition there are many unusual rites and ceremonies, cen- tering on the important Church festivals of Christ- mas and, Epiphany. Today, in Ethiopia, cus- toms of the Western cele- bration of Christmas are beginning to find popular- ity, so that Santa Claus is becoming a fainiliar figure, Christmas trees are being set up and decorated, and gifts are being exchanged. All this is done, however, according to the dates of the old Julian calendar, which is the one followed in Ethiopia, so that they celebrate Christmas on January 7th. In this connection, it is interesting to know that the year in Ethiopia consists of 13 months, starting on Sep- tember 11, when spring be- gins. There are 12 months of 30 days each, plus a short month of 5 days, known as Pagumen. This comes just before the New Year. However westernized the Ethiopian 'Christmas may become, the people are not likely to change their ob- servance of important reli- gious festivals. In the month of January, known as Tirr, the Coptic Church observes 4 festivals — the first being Christmas, but even more important is Epiphany, or Timket. This has, as its main feature, the blessing of water and the sprinkling of it on the assembled faith- ful — a re-enactment of , Christ's baptism by John the Baptist. On the previous day, all is made ready. Bells ring, trumpets blow, and • drums roll as the priests carry the sacred "Tabot" out froni the church to a special carpeted tent, where it remains overnight until time for the priests to bring it forth for the ceremony. The "Tabot" is the most sacred object in the church. It represents the Ark of the Covenant, which, according to tradition, was brought to Ethiopia from Jerusalem by Menelik, son Of King Solb- mon and the Queen of She- ba. The Tabot is really a portable altar holding the sacred vessels for celebrat- ing the Eucharist, and is al- ways carried concealed un- der crimson cloths, on the heads of the priests. ,14 COMBINATION PORTABLE/BUILT IN DISHWASHER it's a 'portable' now... a 'built-in' when you want it OUR SELECTION IS ALMOST ENDLESS .••• If an evening appointment is more convenient - just call us JEWELLERS:.
