PAGE It.PI.AINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. It7t _ ^ Puppet Theatre Presents Opera House Holiday Show The Woodstock Opera House has announced that its Christmas season show this year will be the Hutsah Puppet theatre's full-scale, production of, The Hobbit. Performances intended for the general public are scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 15, at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sunday, De& 16, at 2 p.m. Special performances for school groups are also scheduled Monday through Friday, Dec. 10-15 at 10 a.m. The Hobbit is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling fantasy of life in Middle Earth, and enjoyed a recent extended run at the first Chicago center. Featuring music, full-stage scenery, and over 30 life-size puppets created by artistic director Rusty Steiger, The Hobbit is designed for both adults and young people. • "In this country, we're used to thinking of puppets as little shows for kid's birthday parties. In Europe puppetry is commonly ac­ cepted as a sophisticated form of entertainment that adults can enjoy, too," commented Steiger. Officials at the Woodstock Opera House predict a large demand for tickets, and recommend early reser­ vations. Further information or reservations may be ob­ tained by calling the Woodstock Opera House. BY JOSKI'II TOOLS staff psychologist from MM Family Stmt* and INaUl Health Clinic <H McHenry Count). AskYFW Host Families Packaging Tips Help To Assure Safe Gift Arrival If the postofftce clerk tells you that your Christmas gift package won't go, it's because we want to be sure it will arrive at its destination safely, Postmaster Leroy Smith said. "Some customers get upset when their packages are so poorly wrapped that we can't accept them for mailing, but we ao it for their own protection," Post­ master Smith pointed out. "Of course, our clerks point out the deficiencies and explain how they can be corrected." Postmaster Smith said the problem of poor packaging is particularly* troublesome during the Christmas mailing season when the mail volume rises dramatically. To avoid delays and assure safe arrival of Christmas gift packages, Smith offered these suggestions: Wrap each, item in­ dividually with enough padding to prevent damage from shock and vibration. Separate wrapped items from outer package surfaces with padding or foamed plastic. Heavy-items should be braced with fiberboard pads to prevent shifting and damage. Fiberboard containers are recommended for all items weighing more than 10 pounds. Paperboard con­ tainers are acceptable for up to 10 pounds. Rather than string or cord, use either Kraft paper tape, reinforced Kraft paper tape, or pressure sensitive filament tape. The latter is preferable for prevention of accidental opening. Masking tape is not acceptable. Postmaster Smith said to put the name and address of the person to whom the package is being mailed and your own return address inside as well as outside the parcel. The outside address should be legible from 30 inches away. Always check to see that you have the proper address and zip code. He also reminded mailers •that the postal service no longer accepts letter mail that is less than 3Mz inches high or 5 inches long. In addition, first class mail that weighs one ounce or less and is more than 6% inches high or 11 Vz inches long requires seven cents postage in ad­ dition to a 15-cent stamp. However, there is no oversize surcharge on first class mail weighing between one and two ounces. Postage is still 28 cents. (Editor's note: This far another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family /Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - Alcohol Abuse in Children.") Because alcohol is so . readily available to children and has such an immediate, predictable, and "safe" effect, it has become the most widely abused of the drugs that children use. Also/ because use of alcohol has always had a socially acceptable connotation among the adult population, many children (and parents) feel that use of alcohol is somehow better than use of street drugs. Many parents feel better about, and may even encourage, adolescents to drink alcohol, yet become livid with even occasional use of marijuana. Perhaps the fact that, alcohol is a legally ob­ tainable drug makes the use of it in children less im­ portant, but the fact remains that use of alcohol in children and adolescents is ROBERT J.

Alcohol is not only addictive over a long period of time, but can be life threatening if an overdose is consumed, especially in young children. Children do not have con­ trols or the physical capability to handle a large amount of alcohol and can actually consume a lethal dose in a very short period of time. If your child develops a pattern of alcOhol use, or , uses alcohol even oc­ casionally, he or she needs professional help im­ mediately. It is possible for any child who uses alcohol to develop the disease of alcoholism. The disease in children, as in adults, is insidious and progressive. A child does not "develop" a problem with alcohol over a long period of time, for any use of alcohol by a child is a problem. • • • * * * * The individual who practices intellectual honesty, regardless of organizational affiliation, is making progress.
