Seems that is the worst part o' gittin' along in years, fer many o' us elders, so, we gather t' gether a few things fer the family, an' friends, an' hope they find the love wrapped up in the package, along wi' the gift. There ain't another time o' the year, so preciously remembered by the whole wide world o' folks. The beautiful story o' Christmas has lived fer nearly two thousand years. All the anticipation o' that birth, is depicted in the lovely fixin's, an' bright baubles. Wouldn't it be a wonderful 'thing, if mankind could celebrate, someday, the accomplishment o' the psychological effect o' the loveFthat was taught by the One, born that winter night, so long ago. Ye never kin tell, it jist might be so, one o' these days. Mankind's laming' that war is useless, an' wasteful o' human life, an' ever'thin' in God's world. Young folks seem t' be a turnin't' the teachin's o' Christ, instead o' drugs. I was a thinkin' o' the revivals we used t' know. Seems like most churches held a time, every year, long years past, t' reawaken the spirit, t' the good in mankind, an' bring folks back inter the fold. Modern trends ha' had an adverse ef­ fect on these programs. It jist might be a good thing, t' bring 'em back, an' the young folk might find better trails t' follow, than ha' been the pat­ tern fer quite a spell. It never did any harm, an' may ha' had beneficial effect on some, at least. It seems apparent, t' this grandma, that the prayer o' thanks, is fergotten, at the dinner table, in most homes, t' day. Folks don't have time fer it, it seems. There's so much t' be grateful fer, that one would need a lifetime t' cover 'em all. This lovely time, when bells chime the Christmas carols, an' folks 're lifted from daily tasks inter the realm o' festivity, an' holiday fare, seems a fine time t' be thank­ ful, that we still have the op­ portunity o' celebratin' the Christ-child's birthday, an' in any manner we see fittin'. delicious hot Christmas h was served Garden club members and guests before the luncheon by the hostess, Mrs. Robert Thompson, who en­ tertained at her lovely home decorated for the holiday.

The inventory of places a homeowner aspires to reach during this time when decorating the house becomes a matter of pride includes Christmas tree tops, roofs, chimneys, the upper branches of yard trees and, on occasion, the top of a very large snow man. Ladders are the best and safest way to reach these heights when installing . decorations, but if not used properly they can be as dangerous as trying to climb up a pyramid of six swivel chairs. Falls, reports the National Safety Council, are the leading cause of home accident deaths each year. In 1970, for example, a total of 9,600 persons were fatally injured as a result of falls in the home. officers for the spring election. They are Mrs. Lester Smith, Mrs. Clarence Mueller and Mrs. Jack Walsh. A new president, vice-president and one board member will be elected. Mrs. Ernest Bartz was named as a delegate to the State Conservation meeting at Allerton Park. Other members were also asked to try to attend this all important event. A sad note of the day came when the president informed the group of the loss of a former member, Mrs. William Voss, of Troy, Mich. A spiritual bouquet will be offered at a Mass at St. Patrick's church in the very near future by the McHenry Garden club. A prime culprit in many of these accidents was an im­ properly used ladder. The Safety Council suggests the following precautions when using ladders: -An individual using an extension ladder to reach an extreme height such as the roof of a house should employ good body form. This consists of keeping the body erect and the arms straight but not tense. When a man holds himself rigid and hugs the ladder, he is in danger of falling because he does not have control of this body. -To keep the ladder steady, the climber should climb near the center of the rungs, simultaneously using the same hand and foot when climbing. --The climber should not look down or watch his feet, but should look slightly upward toward the next rung. -His hands should be moved on the rungs at a level between his waist and his head, and the rungs should be grasped with the palms down and the thumbs around the rungs. This will help avoid body sway and provide a means of checking for possible defective rungs. -The ball of the foot rather than the arch should be placed on the rungs when climbing. -Prior to climbing, the ladder should be placed with the base set out one-fourth the ladder length, and it should be set evenly and firmly. -When using a stepladder, it should be fully opened with the spreaders straight. -It should be set on even footing. -The climber should never stand on the top step.
