Make Thrill Of Christmas Toys - Continue Too often a young-child receives so many toys for Christmas that he becomes confused. You can avoid this problem by packing away some of the toys soon after the child has shown his preference. • . • Lucile Pepoon, University of Illinois Extension family life specialist, points out that some toys may be top complicated for the child and will therefore be more appropriate at a Mure time. Also, some toys may be more suitable for warmer weather and outdoor play. For instance, a football or basketball might be packed away now to avoid broken windows indoors. Although visiting relatives may be hurt if their gift is ignored, a child cannot enjoy everything at once. And if he is too young to make a decision, he is likely to switch from one toy to another, losing interest quickly. All the Christmas toys soon become old and battered, and the preschool child has Holiday Hop Set Dec. 22 The teen members of the Foresters (St. Clara Court No. 659, McHenry) National Catholic Society of Foresters) are planning a "Holiday Hop" Teen Dance Dec. 22 from 8to 10:30 pm in St. Mary's school gym.

By puttingawaysomeof the toys and unpacking a new one every few weeks, you help hold the child's interest for months after Christmas* * To eliminate a cluttered play-:, room, you might take an. inventory of all the toys around ; the house. The child probably has outgrown some of the equipment or received duplicates. Perhaps he can be talked into giving themaway, suggests Miss Pepoon. Preparing a box for a poor child who has few toys can help the pre-schooler to learn to be considerate of others. But remember that this lesson won't be easy to teach. However, jthe activity will help teach the child to make decisions as he chooses what to keep, what to give away, and what to pack for later use. > Members recently received into membership at Shepherd Of The Hills Lutheran church include Mr. and Mrs. William Tomal, Karenand Jim; Mrs. Ena Whitney; Mike1 Jensen;- ;Anina Jensen; Mr. and Mrs. Karl J.

Riverside drive, McHenry. ••FOR LOW THIS NIGHT' Far away in the City of Bethlehem On a night of stillness so fair. Hie moon casting forth a halo of light Upon a babe in a Manger there. A babe as he lay in a manger of straw No soft downy bed of its own. But he didn't mind, or seemed even to know That on that night, that a Saviour was born. The shepherds that tended their flock on the hill Felt and knew of the strangness that night. As they followed a Star that beckoned them With a m/stic holy light. They followed its course into Behlehem Past the City and onto a hill. And they came to a manger filled with straw Where a little babe lay so still. He nestled close in Mary's arms She whispered and sang to him low. As she lifted to heaven, iq> her eyes Towards the East was strangely a glow. (A Star appeared as tho a jewel,) It was there for all to see. And slowly it crossed until it shone v On a mother on bended knee. Milling about were the sheep and the lambs 1 As the night, it wore silently on. And the Star that shown over Bethlehem Was the light when our Saviour was bora. lis the Light of the world, Star of the East A Pledge and Promise fulfold. It lit the path of the Three Wise Men That came laden with chests of gold. Mary held him aloft, for all to see. As the angels burst forth in song. Singing "JOY TO THE WORLD" for unto you On this night has a Saviour been born. Born to the world a King of Kings An Angel in disguise. And the three that came from far away Nodded their heads so wise. Peace on Earth, Good Will towards all men Was the message, they came to say. As they laid at his feet, the gifts they had brought And silently stole away. To the East they turned their faces toward home, Hie Star still continued to shine, As it lit 19 the heavens with glory Down through the ages of Time.
