Tips For I ^ i Homemaker BREAKFAST IMITATORS Young children need to grow up with the idea that breakfast starts off the day in the best way. And seeing the rest of the family eating breakfast is the best way to teach good nutrition, says Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Extension adviser. One way to make sure the family eats breakfast is to prepare it for them. Breakfast can be the easy-to-prepare foods, such as juice, cereals, toast and milk. Or it can be the traditional, hearty bacon-eggs- pancakes type. Then for those of your family who don't care for breakfast, try tempting them with their favorite foods. Sandwiches, soup, fruit salad or custard pie may not be traditional break­ fast foods, but who says such foods can be served only at certain meals?

Historical Society Gifts For Christmas Individuals, as well as business firms, can carry out the spirit of Christinas by giving to the McHenry County Historical society and helping to open the new museum being created for the county from the old Union school. When opened, it will house the more than 6,000 artifacts that have been collected over the past nine years. Any donations, whether of artifacts or money, can be deducted from the U.S. income tax returns. In the matter of artifacts, the donor must put a valuation on them or get an appraisal from an antique dealer or appraiser. The society cannot make the ap­ praisal. Deadline for deduction from income tax is in this calendar year, Dec. 31. Donations have been coming in slowly. In order to get the museum open to the public, they should be coming in at a faster rate. The designated music room on the first floor has been spoken for to honor Delia Scott Colby and Claude V. Colby, Crystal Lake. An engraved plaque will hang in the room in their honor. Two business firms have made substantial con­ tributions. Memorials have been received this past week. Seneca Grange 1896 sent one in memory of Ernest J. (Frank) Ebbels, long resident of Crystal Lake and a charter member. Also remembered was Melvin Hansmann, Woodstock, a charter member of the society. Received in the mail, without a return address, was a studio photograph with inscription on back, "Mr. and Mrs. Imeson, about the oldest and earliest settlers on Eng­ lish Prairie". Checking the county history it is learned Jonathan Imeson came from England in 1836, aged 25. His was the first marriage in Burton township to Mary Wray, in 1837, and their son was the first child born in the township. The picture was taken at the studio of Miss D.L. Crewe, Hebron, but no date. For more information about this picture and anything about the studio, write the society or call 338- 1985. Deadline for tax deductions is Dec. 31. Send in your Christmas contribution now to Box 30, Woodstock. Biggs-Calkins Vows Recited Announcement has been made of the marriage Tuesday, Dec. 5, of Miss Linda Biggs and Mr. Richard Calkins.

UNIT NO. 491 By Pearl Cooper VETERAN'S CRAFT EXCHANGE On Dec. 15, 1937, the American Legion auxiliary, Department of Illinois, opened a small non-profit shop in Chicago's Loop area, known as the Veteran's Craft Exchange. This was managed by a disabled veteran, assisted by volunteer auxiliary members. Its purpose was to aid disabled veterans in disposing of the handicraft made by themselves or their dependents. The shop opened with ninety exhibitors. Today they number ap­ proximately 300 from thirty-six states. This has necessitated moving to larger, more at­ tractive quarters located at 30 West Washington street, Chicago 60602. A fine assort­ ment of handmade articles such as plastic and ceramic articles, knitted and croqueted items, paintings, leathercraft, etc., are displayed there. Among the most popular of the items are the rugs woven by blind veterans. The materials used for the rugs are prepared by local auxiliary members. McHenry unit has helped by supplying many, many pounds of such material. Donations of clean, usable materials would be appreciated by the McHenry unit for this program. Mrs. Stephen (Theresa) Huska, 4413 N. Pioneer road, McHenry, Veteran's Craft chairman, will be happy to furnish further information to anyone wishing it. This unit has contributed to the maintenance of the shop, which depends almost entirely upon such donations. Articles made by the veterans are on display daily at the McHenry American Legion post home , Ringwood road, and are for sale to anyone desiring to help the hospitalized veterans and their dependents. Application forms and full details for any disabled veteran wishing to become an exhibitor may be secured through Mrs. Huska, the local chairman, as stated above.

It doesn't really matter which kind of breakfast a person chooses; the point is to start the day with a nutritious meal. LET KIDS HELP BAKE COOKIES Involve children in holiday preparations with a cookie- baking day that will be fun for the whole family. Because older children are more skillful at stirring, find something else for the younger ones to do. Perhaps they can choose a favorite to be baked, sift flour, help measure ingredients or form the cookies. Then everyone can help decorate the treats. If the children tire of baking before the job is completed, put the dough in the refrigerator and do something else. You can finish baking on another day. To top off a day of cookie baking, have the children invite two or three friends over for a cookie snack. Or plan a time before going to bed when the whole family can sit together and enjoy their efforts. Packaged instant oatmeal with the raisins and spice makes them so easy to prepare! What a quick way to tra nourishment into those lively pixies who live at your Oh, but you're a nice mommy, they'll say as they munch away. Are Raisin Spice Cookies a labor of love?
