4 54 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 18, 1990 Police need help finding men who held up fast food store Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police are asking for the Public's assistance in solving a robbery which occurred in Oshawa on December 2. At 4:15 a.m. two males gained entry into the MacDonald's Restaurant located at 501 Ritson Road South by smashing the north glass door with a pipe. Two employees were apprehended by the suspects and a knife placed to one of the employee's throats. Suspects then forced a padlock off the safe and unsuccessfully at- tempted to open it. : hint}. time flat. have previously s {sonal ¢ vour. family ® Christmas! ASO SERA The Environment by Janet Banting WRAPPING UP CHRISTMAS With December 25th now only a week away, I'm going to & 3 use this column to pass along some tips on how to keep your R {living room from looking like the scene of some kind of paper | disaster on Christmas morning. I've been hearing and feadin \ a whole host of ideas circulating about this lately, and will | pass along as many of them as | can. 0 If you've been saving paper from previous Christmases 3 {or any other occasion}, now is definitely the time to break it SN out! Besides wrapping this y ! also use some of it to decorate boxes you have around the house as permanent gift boxes. You can also use the pages of old magazines, calendars, comics, or leftover wallpaper to \ wrap with. Another alternative is to wrap things in your kids' \ art work or in paper bags that you or they have ecorated. You can avoid using a lot of scotch tape by using ribbon in- YN stead, and then saving it for reuse. I've read of one family 3 with a "Santa sack" for each family member that they will use N again and again, year after year. A friend of mine has been busily sewing gift sacks from old scrap bits of material, which | think is a terrific idea. An- E other neat trick she demonstrated to me is how to make de- & lightful little gift boxes out of pretty old calendar pages. | don't § think | can describe it here, but a clever do-it- ourself type § might be able to figure it out on his or her own. : { is that | don't have any old calendars around myself {hint § ear's presents in it, you could | haven't yet mentioned the possibility of wr : | towels or pillowcases, facecloths, or table cloths, or using § i baskets, tins, planters, metal or wooden boxes, or decorative | jars. | think by now people must be getting the idea that the § } old-fashioned tradition of wrappin { paper is fast becoming a dinosaur! ty to work here and delight in our own cleverness. 3 For those people who just can't quite imagine Christmas § = without the traditional wrapping, it may be good news to hear Fi (| that gift wrap from recycled pape | earthdance store in Oshawa {67 King St. East} and the Pores t Source in Fallbrook {phone: 613-267-7191} now have it. he Paper Source will mail out or courier your order in almost no some re-thinking about what is riorities, especially when our | a EE Both suspects then fled on foot eastbound.
