STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD ^IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII^ Tips For I The | i Ilomemaker | Planning ahead for the busy Christmas holidays can save money, time and frustration, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Extension Home Economist for McHenry County. Holiday entertaining can put a great deal of stress on the family budget. Save ahead for those additional costs of festive family meals, holiday en tertainment, and the inevitable but always welcome unex pected company. Spreading the cost out over several months is also easier on the budget. Mrs. Moore further suggests these savers for your holiday preparations: -Secure gifts early, especially those you want to make or which must be mailed. Planning ahead may let you take advantage of fall sales and gives you time to make gifts which otherwise must be purchased. --Address greeting cards. Make this a family activity during Sunday afternoon football games. If you look around, you may find some attractive remnants of last year's stock on sale. -Make decorations. Gather pine cones, nuts, ribbons and other materials needed. -Purchase or make your own wrapping paper, seals and tags so that gifts can be wrapped whenever completed or pur chased. -Prepare and freeze cookies and other holiday goodies that can be made in advance. Homemade is almost always lower-cost than purchased. And, if the price of sugar, flour, raisins and candied fruit should increase by Christmas, you'll get a financial savings too. Planning now for your holiday gifts, parties and meals will help you meet the costs of the season, be more relaxed and able to enjoy the festivities when the time comes, con cludes Mrs. Moore. ® For further information on any Home Economic subject, call or stop by the Extension office.

My friends are all aware of these problems and, though they don't mean to be cruel, their constant mention ing of them is a source of pain to me. I think I'm going to try to just move away, get away from it all, and start a- gain. Do you think this is ad visable? The Bible makes it clear that true peace and happiness are not dependent upon where we are living.<You may search for peace in the country, in the mountains or bv the sea "Whipped cream pecan halves Foil gently syrup, sugar and butter together for 5 minutes. Beat the eggs well, add the hot liquid, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Add chopped pecans. Pour into pastry lined tart pans. Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 20 minutes. Chill. Cover with a thick layer of whipped cream. Garnish with pecan halves. and you will still be like a man the Bible speaks of: "He walketh through dry places, seeking rest and findeth none [Matthew 12:431. True happiness and peace depend upon an inward state of mind. If you do not have true happiness where you are, you may not be able to find it somewhere else. There is no way that I can make an ab solute statement that it would be unwise for you to move, though it may be in your sit uation. I would, however, say that you should try to face your present situation and give it your best effort, allow enough time for those who know your past to forget the painful experiences you speak of, and recognize that every one makes mistakes and that to get in the habit of running from these to one place and then another, will only com pound your situation. Jesus told us the way to find peace when he said, "I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture" [John 10:91. If you have al ready turned your life over to Christ and have become a Christian and have lost the peace you had once, then what you need to try to do is re-center your attention on Jesus and return it to your first love. If you are not a Christian, then may I suggest establishing a relationship with him through firm belief repentance, confession and baptism. Remember this ver se: 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee..."(Isaiah 26:3). PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1975 life If someone asked you to prove you're alive, what would you cite as evidence? A birth certificate? Well, that might help. At least it would show you have a name and thafyou came into this world on such and such a day at such and such a place. But alone, a birth certificate can't prove you're alive. One of the chief evidences of life is that you're alert and sensitive to what's going on. You feel heat and cold. You see people on the streets and a frisking colt in the pasture. You hear music on the radio and the laughter of children in the streets. You smell the aroma of fresh doughnuts, and you touch the hand of one you love. You know you're alive because you know what's going on. Now a second question. How do you prove you're a Christian? A baptismal certificate? A record of church membership? Well, that might help. At least it would show you are identified with a Christian organization. But alone, a baptismal certificate won't prove that you're alive in Christ. The best evidence is that you're sensitive and alert to his presence in your life. I realize this is an intangible something. But breathing is also intangible -- yet no one can live without it. Let me share a Bible verse from 2 Corinthians 5:17 in three translations. Each says the same thing, in slightly different words. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (KJV). "When anyone is united to Christ, there is a new world; the old order has gone, and a new order has already begun" (NEB). "When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same any more. A new life has begun!" (Living Bible). %4 October Month SUPER FALL BUYS Savings MENS THURS.-FRI.-SAT.-SUN.
