ABOUT TOWN Sunday, Dec. 18, was the annual Christmas open house that Patti and Dan Hanson have, and they enjoyed the company of neighbors, friends and relatives, as they shared their wishes for Christmas and hopes for the new year. Of course, the center of at­ tention was Erik, now 11 months old and beginning to take steps by himself. Patti, served snackies and some delicious cookies that she received at a neighbor cookie exchange. Chris and Sally Delby are delighted with the holiday season this year because it is the first time they have had the opportunity to put up a Christmas tree in the four years they have been there in the new (old) home.' They have gone through so nluch remodeling, this is the first time that things have been well enough organized for them to enjoy the festivities of Christmas. Another beautiful choir presentation was given at church services Sunday, Dec. 18; and with the Reverend Smith and Cheryl Gaman's piano and organ duet, one couldn't help but be thankful for such talented people.

Smoke detector fine gift to protect family FAMILY RESTAURANTS There's more to surviving a home fire than waking up before it's too late Home fire dHlls may sound silly, and a serious fire is no fun to talk about, but a little time spent selecting escape routes and practicing what to do if the detector goes off may save lives if fire ever comes to your home. 1 - Walk through the main escape route several times. Try it in the dark or with eyes closed. Memorize the number of steps between obstacles or turns. 2. -6Plan alternate ways of escape from each room. If the main route were blocked by fire or impenetrable smoke, how would each family member get out? If bedroom windows are too high for safe jumping, perhaps you should buy rope or chain escape ladders to keep at a window in%ach bedroom. 3. - If yqu must go through a smoke-filled area, crawl on hands and knees, with your head low to avoid breathing smoke. 4. - Before opening an inside door, touch the knob and the top of the door. If either feels hot, don't open the door. Fire on the other side might flash into your room. Use your secondary escape route. 5. - Agree on a place to meet oustide the home, so you can count noses and be sure everyone is safe. 6. - Don't call the Fire Department from the burning home. Get out safely, then telephone from a neighbor's home or use an alarm box. 4228 W.
