O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by. --Phillips Brooks FROM THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS If someone on your Christ­ mas list is a Scotch lover, you may have been scanning the liq­ uor store shelves in search of a truly special brand to present as agift. With the multitude of Scotches available, making a choice will not be easy--unless you decide on the unique taste of a single malt Scotch. Until recently, the best of the Highland single malt whiskies have been consumed in local Scottish pubs near die distillery where they're made. In the U.S., many single malt blended whiskeys, so the true flavor has often been concealed. But now, Americans can enjoy the taste of single malt Scotch without traveling to Scotland for it. Ranked among die top single malt Scotches sold in the United Kingdom, Glen Moray Scotch is now available in die U.S. .just in time for the gift-giving sea- sbn. Characterized by a fresh, aro­ matic bouquet, Glen Moray is distilled and bottled by Mac- Donald & Muir Ltd., of Elgin, Scotland. The 82-year-old familv- owned distillery is located in the Highlands, the largest and northernmost distilling region. Besides Glen Moray, Mac- Donald & Muir is also known for Glenmorangie and Martin's WO, two Scotches popular around the world. Single malt Scotches are only for those who really love the taste of Scotch, so a gift of Glen Moray will truly delight and im­ press the connoisseur on your Christmas list. ' Sign the card "Slainte ..Mhath," an ancient Gaelic toast meaning "Good Health to All." FOR THE BIRDS Not all birds fly south for the winter. Those that remain up north will appreciate a Christ­ mas treat that will make their food-gathering efforts much easier. Spread peanut butter on and into the crevices of pine cones and then roll the cones in bird­ seed. Attach a piece of wire to the tops and hang the cones on the trees around your house. x lust for | We've Got Her | Size and Style | in Stock! / 1 (asuc£ *V-'. - -•: HOURS: 9:00-5:30 I MON. THRU SAT.
