This year can be different if you think "longevity' "longevity' ' -- think items that simplify life or solve everyday problems. Here are a few ideas from The Singer Company to get you started on problem-solving gift-giving: • Holiday Baskets -- Fill a large wicker basket lined with brightly colored colored fabric with exotic spices, a few of your special recipes, an assortment of coffees and teas and other unusual, unspoilable gourmet treats. The goodies will come in handy for unexpected unexpected guests during the long winter months, and the empty basket will be perfect for picnics at the first sign of spring. • Button Magic button sewer -- The perfect solution for the traveler or executive to tuck into a suitcase on business trips, or stash in a desk drawer. This handy, easy-to-use appliance appliance re-attaches buttons in seconds using real thread, and it's great for sewers and non-sewers alike. • Assorted Picture Frames -- Since cameras are so easy to use nowadays, this means scads of pictures. Displa- ing the best ones is more fun than keeping them in a shoe-box. Picture frames in interesting shapes for smaller-sized photos make a beautiful home- photo gallery for a hallway. You may even want to put a great pic- | ture of your family in one of the frames. | Merry Christine! end Heppy New Yeer » • Closet Organizers -- A godsend for people who always scent to be dressing in a hurry. Who on your gift list spends countless minutes searching searching for that perfect accessory that they "know is in there somewhere?"

Telephone 623-4477 (rom Management and Staff BURGER of KING Imperial Oil Ltd. and Burger King Restaurant To the Citizens of the Durham Region This Christmas will be remembered by most of our citizens as a time of enjoyment and rejoicing in family reunion. Unfortunately for some this Christmas will be the season during which they lost a loved one through a traffic accident. Most of the accidents are needless. They involve too much alcohol and a moment's inattention to driving. The members of the Durham Region Police remind you that at this time of year it is even more important to drive defensively. We wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. REGIONAL POLICE DURHAM Jon. M. Jenkins Chief of Police Highway 401 and Newcastle You Make Us Better. Esstf
