Spending all your time in the kitchen takes away the pleasure of company. Holiday entertaining need not be a time-consuming and burdensome chore, notes Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois Extension Foods specialist. For instance, if Christmas dinner involves a large group of relatives, consider a planned potluck dinner or a cooperative meal with a set menu. If s impractical to expect one person to plan and prepare the whole meal. A time-saving "help yourself" buffet service allows the hostess more time to enjoy her guests. When planning a menu for a buffet, remember that foods must look pretty on the table and withstand waiting, if necessary. Here are some hints on buffet service: --Keep the service as simple as possible. Avoid foods that are difficult to serve, those that are " soupy" on the plate, or foods that require extra silver, such as bread and butter spreaders or salad forks. --To insure keeping hot foods hot, use heavy casseroles or chafing dishes for serving. --Attractive garnishes add a note of festivity. Food should look good to eat. The sight of food, including the color, size and shape shouldtempt a person to eat. And remember that the success of a company meal depends on the hospitality that prevails more than on the number of dishes or the elaborateness. o£/ preparation or service.

The make the blossoms, cut the pine cones into slices, each the depth of 3 rows of scales, using wire cutter, pruning shears or a coping saw. Spraypaint slices different colors, and spray with clear glaze or varnish. Let blossoms dry thoroughly. Then, wire them by slipping a length of wire (about 8" - 10") around the base of the cone, concealing wires among the lower scales. Draw ends toward base, twist tightly together, and cut stem to a , length of about 3 inches to insert into the Christmas wreath. Cones vary in both type and size. From a very large cone you may get as many as 3 or 4 blossoms; from different species you will get a variety of flower effects -- like dahlias, zinnias, tiger lilies and so on. Your splash of color gives the final merry touch. r i I i I i i i i i i i I I i I I I i I i I i l l I I I I i i i i i I i i I i i i i biij E73tii"; IES3LAJ-ES3G22 EZE3 r~li i> ir-"H--i r--i f Bfli--i / No. 1 Safety No. 2 Earnings No. 3 Availability Three reasons why a savings account I provides family security for more Americans than any other type of investment. seta!® for less?
