Holiday office party can present a threat The holiday season is upon us. The office party, luncheon and cocktail get-together provides a setting for mirth, merriment and trouble. A human resources consultant warns that promising careers and marriages have been jeopardized or ended by those who haven't watched their behavior at such affairs. Discretion is a must at these parties advised Andrew Sher­ wood, a NOT*York- based company. Good manners are always in demand, so be discreet and act with moderation. Sherwood offers some do's and don'ts: 1) If you drink after the first drink, make the rest non­ alcoholic - perhaps ginger ale, or club soda with a twist. It's inexcusable to drink so much as to unhinge the tongue or raise the vocal volume. Remember, your conduct will be observed by subordinates and superiors alike. 2) Be discreet! Don't divulge confidences you'll^ regret when you are back at work, especially subjects involving your boss. Don't discuss work-related problems or people. 3) Be friendly, not amorous. Many a holiday party flirtation has led to job and family problems. No matter how strong the temptation, play it, cool and avoid embarrassment. 4) Instead, use the occasion to make new friends and contacts. Be merry and congenial without trying to be the life of the party. 5) Offer to serve hors d'oeuvres and replenish drinks. Generally, attempt to be helpful and considerate. 6) Don't overstay your welcome. Leave at a reasonable time while there is still an up­ beat tempo. Compliment fellow employees who arranged the affair, wish everyone a happy holiday, "and to all a good night." Finally, go home to your family and friends with a clean conscience and a clear head - ready to fully enjoy the holidays, Sherwood advises. iGREETIHGS FROM THE PEOPLE OF W aid aw 3 tui 217 N.

Now is the time to attend to details - good planning will allow time to relax and enjoy the family and guests. Now is the time to: Get out the silverware and serving pieces and check for tarnishing. Polish items that need it, and store pieces in sealed plastic bags. If stored this way, silver will remain bright and shiny and will be ready to use when the holidays arrive. Choose centerpieces or special flower arrangements. Most florists become extremely busy around the holiday season and might not be able to give the time and attention they can offer now. Make upholstered furniture look fresh and clean with a do-it- yourself cleaning and protecting product. It enables one to relax d In joy parties more, jwijqg and knowirifc that spills will wipe away easily. Make preliminary invitation lists to determine how many chairs and tables will be needed to seat the guests. If it will be necessary to rent or borrow chairs or tafftes, make plans to do so now. They are sometimes scarce at holiday time. , Protect the tablecloths, napkins, placemats, aprons and even upholstered dining chairs by using a fabric protector. TTien there will be no fear of bringing out linens to use, and holiday cleanups will be quicker and easier. Check crystal for spots or dust and store glasses upside down in a covered, dust-free place. Begin collecting recipes for dishes to prepare and serve. Check to be sure none of the old favorites have been misplaced. Food makes gifts personal Through the years, food has marked some of the happiest and most traditional moments in our lives and has become a big part of the Christmas season. We all have traditional foods we serve for Christmas dinner, and we spend hours on end preparing candies and cookies to give to friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. Personally made treats in­ dicate that we have given lovingly of our time, but there must be something we can give besides fudge and divinity. We can begin new traditions and consider gift ideas that are different, appealing, attractive, and nutritious all at the same time. Unique Christmas gifts can be made by using a little creativity and recycled tins, jars, bottles or decanters. Following are some ideas that may help complete your Christmas list. 1) Breads, rolls, or muffins wrapped in a towel and given in a basket or on a bread board. 2) Cheese or herb flavored popcorn or fiereal snack mixes given in Mfccoratve tin. * 3) Fruff baskets, cheese baskets, or cheese balls which you make yourself. 4) Homemade croutons in a decorative glass decanter. 5) A spiced tea mixture made by adding spices such as cin- BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Lee (Vicki) Pankiewicz, 405 N.

As the child ving, and Growing' fcxits toys away, he wffl learn to TOWNER and Child, the monthly child development newsletter offers some suggestions for the most popular of all gifts...toys! Toys should be kept in a place that is easy for a child to reach. Open shelves are best. Toys on an open shelf are inviting. A child can reach them without help, and can put them away (maybe with a little help). Don't use a toy chest. It may keep the toys out of sight and make the room look neat, but toys will get jumbled inside, parts will get lost, and worst of all, there is danger of the lid falling on the child's head or hands. Open toy shelves can be used to teach a child many things. You and the child can decide where each new toy will "belong." In this way you can help a child understand categories: blocks go here; cars, trains and trucks nearby. Balls and outdoor toys go here; books and records there. Later on, whenever a new toy is received, the child can figure out its category and where it should go. TTiis kind of orderly thinking is helpful in learning mathematics and reading. To help a child remember where each toy goes, you can put a picture of it in the right place- either directly on the shelf or on. match the toy to its picture. You can use the cover illustration if the toy came in a box, or take photos or make drawings. If you print the name of the toy near the picture, the child will get used to the idea that everything has a name. All these activities are pre-reading skills. While you are putting pictures of the toy on the shelf, flatten out the part of the packaging that has the manufacturer's name and address, the toy name and model number. Having this information on file will make it much easier to order repair parts or return merchandise. Putting toys away can be a learning game. One day you could suggest, "Let's put away all tbe red toys first," Then, "Now can you put away all the blue toys?" Another day, it might be square toys first, then round ones. Other categories are soft-hard, heavy-light, big-little. These variations turn clean-up into a form of play while the child learns about categories, likenesses and differences. When toys are easy to reach, always ready to use, and easy to put away, a child is learning independence and respon­ sibility, and parents will be avoiding a lot of playtime, hassles!
