Vhundar. October 19,1961 THE MCHENHY PLAINDEALER "AFTER GAME" PARTY FOLLOWS SEASONAL THEME 1 t Win or lose, when the football game is over, your fellow fans are sure to appreciate an "after the game" party and l^ffet supper. It's an easy party to plan. You can make your own invitations in the form of small pennants in the color of the home team. Just print the details of the party on the pennants and drop them into a colored envelope. To encourage a feeling of informality among your guests, ^>uffet supper is ideal. It has b u i l t - i n e n t e r t a i n m e n t v a l u e because the guests "circulate" to chat with more people. For a centerpiece on your table, make a floral football -- a real attention-getter. All you do is form chicken wire into the shape of a football. Make the wire foundation about three inches smaller than you v^sh the centerpiece to be. he paper covering is made by cutting out large circles of flare red tissue and tucking two or three into each opening in the chicken wire. Continue inserting the tissues until the wire is completely covered, (Tissues will hold better if the wire is brushed lightly with glue.) You can make the goal posts fusing the cores from rolls paper towels. Cover them with plain paper; then decorate with alternating stripes of colored paper. Set the posts in flower holders or styrofoam bases. For an added "authentic" touch, yard lines can be indicated by using a colorful striped paper tablecloth. Pom poms are appropriate and popular favors for a foot- 4hl party. And you can make them, too. Here's how: take six tissues of the color you wish (flare red, yellow, white, pink, aqua or any combination). Fold the tissues in half and fringe with a scissor, making cuts one-fourth inch apart up to one inch from the top. Shake the fringes out and wrap around the end of a thin dowel «ck. Fasten with heavy read or fine wire - and you'll have a giant tissue pompom for each guest. What kind of food to serve? That problem is easily solved with this menu - Barbecued Beef on Buris Tossed Green Salad Potato Chips and Relishes Hot Apple Pie Coffee ^Sound like a good party? ^hen try it soon. It's a "winner" with the football crowd.

The Drivers Seat By far one of the most important of the myriad of dials and gauges facing you in your car is the gas gauge. There are no distinct advantages to running out of gas. Because most gauges are not precise, it is wise to keep your tank at least a quarter full at all times. Often a gauge will sink from quarter full to empty with stunning rapidity. In cold weather, additionally, condensation in the empty parts of the gas tank will cause the gas line to freeze. This causes stalling. Civil defense experts, in fact, are advocating that drivers keep their tanks at least half full. In case of a national emergency in which quick evacuation is necessary, this gasoline could spell the difference between survival and disaster. However, there are several precautions that you can take for the inevitable time when you do run out. of gas. It is a good idea to carry a red gallon can and a siphon in your trunk. If your tank runs dry at night, it is a good safety measure to have reflective tape on the can sc that at least part of you will be visible in the headlights of quickly approaching cars as you trudge to the nearest service station. As another safety precaut i o n , m a n y d r i v e r s c a r r y around simple, inexpensive warning devices. A paddle wrapped with reflective tape will attract the attention of any driver whose headlights hit it. A regular fruit juice can covered with reflective tape and placed several hundred feet behind your stalled car will alert cars approaching from the rear. The best procedure is to remember regularly to drive in and . . . fill 'er up. SAFETY. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING GO HAND IN HAND Are you a good housekeeper? One way to answer the question - objectively, that is -- is to count up the number of ! accidents you've had in your j home in the last year. If you went accident-free. 1 then you probably keep a pretj ty neat place. If you had a couple of serious, accidents, then there's probably room for improvement. According to the National Safety Council, good housekeeping and safety go hand-inhand. " G o o d h o u s e k e e p i n g , " t h e | Council says, "can especially i help reduce the number cf falls. Keep roadblocks such as hassocks, stools and toys, for example, out of traffic lanes. You'll have far feweK falls." Other Council suggestions: "Don't leave medicine and potential poisons around where children can get at them. "Keep your home neat and clean -- but don't overdo things. A floor too highly polished is an-invitation to a fall."

Homemaking Tips Homemakers will find a wealth of information on freezing cooked and partly prepared foods in a recently issued University of Illinois College of Agriculture publication. "Freezing Cooked and Prepared Foods,"' Circular 835, contains directions for freezing several common combination dishes, baked products, appetizers and battel's and doughs. All directions are based on work done in the foods research laboratory at the University under the direction of Professor Frances O. Van Duyne. The foods specialists point out that successful freezing of cooked or partly prepared foods depends on knowing both what to freeze and how to proceed. Each step from preparing the foods for freezing anc> storage to serving is important to get satisfactory results. For this reason the specialists include in the circular recommendations for packaging and Storing foods as well as preparation instructions. The circular contains specific i n s t r u c t i o n s f o r p r e p a r i n g about thirty-four different products for freezing and serving. These include beef stew, Italian rice, shrimp Creole, plain and chocolate cakes, butter cream frosting, brownies, peanut butter and filled cookies, Boston brown and nut breads, yeast rolls and cheese wafers.
