It Is gratifying to see that there has been some good response, however, if you manage to fill the cans, we can always replace them. If some of you would prefer to gift wrap a carton of cigarettes, a couple of decks of playing cards, a pair of house slippers, a pen and pencil set, or some other gift useful to a guy in the hospital, by all means do so and leave it with any store near you. Your Legion post will see that it gets to its destination. Remember, your Legion Post is only the agency for this drive. Every penny, every gift will be turned over to make a hospitalized veteran's Christmas more cheer* ful. The Indian Ridge party last Saturday "night was quite a success.

That's the advice of child development specialist Mrs. Barbrea Rogers, University of Illinois College of Agriculture. Gradual planning and preparation are best for both children and grownups. A slow growth of holiday plans helps to remove the possibility of overexcitment and tension, says Mrs. Rogers. ( One family fun-time can be devoted to lodking over last year's decorations, wrappings, old cards or equipment for making greeting cards .and gifts. Youngsters, as well^as mom, dad-and grandparents. can join in this family project. Making a gift for someone helps children learn the concept of giving. Children often want to make gifts for members of their family or their friends. The small fry might paint a can to be used as a wastebasket and place a decal on it. Older children can finger-paiiit a design on a wastebasket and then shellac It. Some youngsters can make potholders or do other needlework. Father and son woodworking teams can turn out some fancy Christmas gifts, such as candle holders or chests for toy storage. Children can help to make the* family greeting cards, using such simple techniques as ste Idling, potato printing or spatter painting. Making cards or gifts helps children realize that Christmas is their own rather than something they buy at the store. A child may wish to give one of his drawings or paintings, when he does, the receiver should show appreciation for the effort and creativeness that have gone into the %ift. Selecting the Christmas tree Is another holiday "special" in which the whole family can participate. You can do that job a week early so that all the important phases of tile celebration won't come in one day. Decorating the tree'is great fun when it is a family project. Children can hang the metal ornaments until they gradually lear> how to handle the breakable ones. Or they may want to trim a small tree of their own.'
