CHILD'S PLAY
Make place mats from cards
By BUROKER and
HUNTSINGER
It's party time and card
tinge. Christmas card time,
that is. Along with the greet-
ings of the season that are
now arriving in great num-
bers in homes all across the
country, chances are there
are also many from last year
that your family has kept on
hand.
A lot of people save cards to
use as a guide when' making
up their next greeting list, or
just because they were too
pretty to throw away. Here is
a chance to display them at-
tractively and have them
serve a functional purpose as
well.
Make festive place mats to
decorate your holiday table or
to give to friends and relatives
so all their meals during this
Yule season can be specially
brightened.
Along with covers of greet-
ings cards which first have
been cut and trimmed to be
mostappealing, you will need
clear. adhesive, plastic. This
can be bought innovelty and
paint stores by the yard from
large rolls that are 18 inches
wide. A set of four standard -
sized place mats will use one
and a half yards with a bit left
over. The whole set will cost
around 75 cents.
Use tagboard or cardboard
to make bases for the mats.
Each should be cut 12 by 18
inches in size. From a sheet of
newsbaper, make a sample
mat as a pattern and use this
to serve as a guide for each
one you make. Cut scalloped
edges all around it. With this
outline, each mat will look ex-
actly the same as far as shape
• and size is concerned.
Next, carefully arrange the
cards on this base. The num-
ber needed will; naturally,
vary since there are so many
types and styles of cards to
choose from. Generally from
five to 10 Will form an un-
crowded design. You may se-
lect Santa Claus faces for one
mat, outdoor scenes for an-
other, or choose to mix them
up.
It might be wise . to have `
someone help you after you've
cut a piece of plastic a little
larger than the size of the
base. That's the only tricky
part: fitting the plastic over
the entire area. It sticks in-
stantly and wrinkles, so must
be right the first time. Once
glued into place, however,
this plastic surface is sanitary
and spillproof, for it wipes
dean easily.
Trim off the excess bits of
plastic around the scallops.
And then set the holiday table.
These unusual serving doilies
will say "Merry Christmas
many times over.

FRIDAY 1:15 a.fti •'�'F:EAIt STRIKES ours' Amino no Anthony
With Adrian Vos
The other day I taljced to a
former labour union leader.. Be
told me that the directive he got
was to belabour an issue out of
proportion so the rank and file of
the local would be all het up by
the time negotiations for a new
contract got under way. This was
done to retain interest in the
union, for without interest xxo
union or other organization can
survive. His job in the union was
at stake, for no union, no job.
In the recent strike by meat
and grain graders, and the illegal
walkout by meat inspectors, we
saw some of this after they went
back to work. An issue was made
of the fact that the Treasury
Board dislosed the terms of
settlement before it was , Koted
upon. Apparently it is alright if
Anion leaders don't want an ac-
ceptance vote, but if the other
side does it, it is considered im-
proper influence.
I can't see the difference. If the
\ terms are acceptable ,they will
vote for it and if not they will vote
against, regardless of who tells
them what the terms are. More
and more protests are' noted
against the way labour disputes
are resolved. It appears that no
settlement can be reached
anymore unless there is a strike
period first. If it hurts literally
millions of innocent people that
doesn't seem to concern them at
all.
Take this meat and grain strike
for example. The cost to . the
consumer and to the producer -
consumer runs into millions of
dollars in order to satisfy the
demands of a few hundred people
who may have been artificially
fired up by their leaders.
There must be a better way and
there are better ways to settle
disputes. How long will our soci-
ety tolerate this costly waste of
national productivity to contin-
ue? We all have seen how Britain
is on the brink of bankruptcy
caused largely by irresponsible
walkouts and strikes. Are we
going the same route?
Labour should have a fair re-
turn on their services in balance
with the profits'of the firms they
work for and the same applies' to
small businessmen` and farmers.A good arbitration system can
make this balance work. As lgmg
as there is ' g d on either side,
the .balance must be imposed
from outside.
