T-A photo When you deck the halls and rooms of your home for the holiday season do you leave a trail of pine needles and debris behind? Do you know how to trim the base of your Christmas tree to enhance its appearance, yet protect floors and carpets from stains when you water it? A few simple tips can help you make the Christmas season more fun and less work and save you energy and fuss. For instance, wrap your tree in an old sheet or blanket before carrying it into your home. Once you have the tree in its stand, place it on several green plastic garbage bags in the position you have chosen. Then carefully remove the cover from the tree so that all debris remains in the cover. The versatile plastic bags will also protect your floor or carpet from stains when you water the tree. To achieve an attractive and festive setting for your tree, arrange several more of the Christmas - green plastic bags around its stand and then simply spray the bags with artificial snow. Keep your tree well watered. Dry trees are fire hazards and shed needles faster. While stringing lights and attaching ornaments to your tree, wear rubber gloves or a thick pair of Cotton gloves to prevent scratches. Gloves will also help you avoid getting the sticky pine pitch, which most trees exude, on your hands. When the time comes to take down the tree, again wrap it in a sheet or blanket to prevent a trail of pine needles, broken branches and old icicles as you remove it from your home. The versatile, plastic garbage bags that served as protection and decor under your tree can now be used to dispose of any remaining debris.

Regardless of all the friction the first Christmas card stirred up it created a custom that is part of the tradition of Christmas today. Its greeting, 'A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You', is still the most popular message sent out. Although many deplore the thought of getting down to the job of signing and addressing Christmas cards it's still a warm friendly way of letting people know we're thinking about them and wishing them well. Good Public Relations In reading over reports of recent meetings I see many new slates of officers include a press reporter. I am heartened by this. For, if your organization wants good publicity, it is indeed important that you have such an officer and that she or he takes the duties seriously. Several times, throughout the year, we, at this office, get complaints from some organizations who say they don't receive enough publicity in the paper. Very often they lay their complaint after a special event has taken place in their group. There is really no way we can know about or cover every meeting or event that takes place in the community. But we ARE interested in these happenings Faberge Sets etc. $550 $150 - $650 $3 00 $450 • 141. With Christmas coming up fast, you have probably dug out your Christmas card list and may have even started to get your cards.ut. How should we sign our cards? According to the etiquette book I have at hand, there are a few simple rules. When a card is sent by husband and wife, the person who writes the card follows the normal courtesy of signing his or her name last. However, if the children's names are to be added, father signs first, followed by mother and then the children beginning with the eldest down to the youngest. It is quite correct to substitute 'and the family', or if you wish, you may sign the card, `From the John Doe's . In addressing envelopes, if the card is intended for the whole family it is proper to write Mr. & Mrs. John Doe and the family, and a personal message on the card is in keeping with the spirit of the season. It is also quite acceptable to use colored inks as this adds to festive touch, but envelopes should never be addressed by typewriter. As usual, as with any etiquette, the best rule of thumb is to follow your own good judgement when deciding how to sign and address your cards. The relationship with each name on your list will dictate the type and manner of signature. But keep in mind that, however you sign your card, it is a reflection of yourself. In 1843, Henry Cole, a busy English gentleman, surveyed the long list of friends to whom he owed letters and wished to send Christmas wishes of prosperity and goodwill. He suggested to a good friend, who was also an artist, that he design a Christmas greeting which Cole could simply sign and address and save him a great deal of time and handwork. When the card was published it aroused so much interest that about 1,000 copies were printed and sold for a shilling. Only 12 of them are known to be in existence today and, of course, are collectors items. The artist designed the card in three panels. The middle one depicted a wealthy family making merry over a sumptuous Christmas dinner while the two side panels represented the feeding and clothing of the poor. It caused considerable controversy and the artist was Anyone A Wishing a I Toys and 1 FOOTSTOOLS . § ,,. li For Christmas 'ell See Our Display In •: g Fairbairn's Store Window Thank You! g g P Ladies of Braemor lz Pt Manor and Men of h' PX Wilhelm Rest Home §' .11 ; irt Phone 235-1402 53 James St. - Exeter or, 1.4ttmlp.o:Rto i-tzNivZ All we ask is that the reports be sent in by Tuesday noon; that the copy, particularly names, be legible. Typing (double spaced) is best but good handwriting is fine. Don't worry about your writing ability ..,just be clear in what you are saying. If your organization has adopted an unusual project, or something worthwhile or out of the ordinary has been said, this is what we are most interested in, In other words, we want the type of news that might interest you if you were a casual reader. A report looses its interest if filled with items of little consequence. If your group is having a special speaker or doing something which you think might merit us sending a reporter, please tell us about it several days in advance and we will try to see what we can do. Again, if you have an idea for a picture that would be either decorative or interesting, tell us about it well in advance, and we do appreciate it if the people and props are ready when the photographer arrives. He may be running on a tight schedule and have pictures to take in another place in a few minutes. Please try to understand that 'sometimes' out of necessity, pictures have to be taken at our convenience. We are anxious to give you the publicity your organization deserves in the coming year, but we can only do it with your co-operation. from the 1800's to 1900's which was very interesting and required much preparation.
