POET'S CORNER CHRISTMAS REMEMBRANCES Christmas brings us thoughts of home, No matter how or where we roam. " A cheery hearth, wreaths of holly, The family together, everyone jolly. Candle light and mistletoe, Stockings hanging in a row. Christmas tree with twinkling light, Everything warm and bright. , Father in his old arm chair, Mother close beside him there. Children gathered close exclaim "Tell us how the Christ-Child came. How in a manger bed He lay Born to us on Christmas Day!" Ethel L. Hintz PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1972 WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT CHRISTMAS The tradition of Santa Claus. The gay decorations of pine, mistletoe and holly. The Christmas tree with its tinsel and light* The spirit of joy and happiness that pervades the atmosphere. The kindness and good-will in the hearts of men. The wonder of anticipation on the children's faces. The love and warmth of friendship as shown by the sending of cards and the exchanging of gifts. The joyous and melodic cards. The glorification of the home and family life. But most important of all, the birth of the Savior, a sweet heavenly child, who came to live on earth, and in the hearts of all who will accept Him.

Tips For The Homemaker The area near Sedona, Arizona, has been used as background for many movies, and is locale of Zane Grey's book, CALL OF THE CANYON. Parents Warned About Dangerous Toy Purchase Toys are intended for the fun, laughter and enjoyment of children. Many times they are educational as well. Un­ fortunately, they sometimes do more. Last year, hundreds of thousands of children were hurt by toys that seemed safe, ac­ cording to the Insurance In­ formation institute. Youngsters were bruised, cut, burned, and even crippled and blinded. Parents are urged by the Institute to avoid buying toys that could be dangerous while in a child's hands. Some toys that might be dangerous in­ clude: o Electrical toys that operate on 110-volt current without step-down transformers. Projectiles such as bow and arrow sets, slingshots, and guns and rifles. Dolls and stuffed animals with sharp parts or small parts that could be swallowed. Furniture for children with sharp edges. Glass toys. FAT OVERWEIGHT Odrinex can help you become the trim slim person you want to be. Odrinex is a tiny tablet and easily swallowed. Con­ tains no dangerous drugs. No starving.

Sold with this guarantee by IEXSLL Flammable toys, such as doll clothing or camping equip­ ment. The federal government enacted the Child Protection and Toy Safety act in 1969 to help insure that harmful toys do not enter the market. Several hundred toys have been banned by the Food and Drug administration as a result. There are, however, perhaps 5,000 new toys introduced each year. They are not always inspected by the federal government. The Institute suggests, therefore, that the consumer has to be the final judge when purchasing a toy. Not only should the toy be safe, but it should be suited to the age of the child. Once a toy enters the home, it is the responsibility of the parent to see that his child is taught its proper-and safe- use. This is a formidable job, considering that there are an estimated 100,000 types of toys on the market. The Institute reminds that when purchasing Christmas toys this year, think not only of the child's happiness but of his safety as well. You can increase your satisfaction from your ap­ pliances by following these suggestions from Pat Sullivan, McHenry county home economics Extension adviser. - Keep all pertinent in­ formation concerning ap­ pliances in one place along with their instruction manuals. This would include all information and literature given you at the point of sale - model and serial number, service dealer and manufacturer's address and phone number. - Avoid needless servicing: READ the manual before operating the appliances! - Check plugs, fuses, pilots and controls to see if they are set or working properly before calling a repairman. - Call the dealer where you purchased the item for service. If this is not possible, call a reputable service agency or center for the particular brand of product. v - If you have a rightful claim for service, do not hesitate to ask for it. If the local merchant cannot or will not help, then contact the manufacturer or his local representative. A letter or a telephone call with a follow- up letter is usually an effective way to handle the problem. Miss Sullivan reminds you to include all the needed in­ formation in the primary communication - your name, address, and telephone num­ ber; kind of appliances, brand, model and serial number; dealer's name and address; service agent's name and address if different from dealer; location of appliance and a clear description of problem and service required. If you are not satisfied with the action taken by the manufacturer, contact the Major Appliance Consumer Action Panel (MACAP). Their address is 20 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, or call (312) 236-3165. MACAP -- listens to consumer complaints and responds with action to hold the manufacturer ac­ countable for his products. •New Arrivals !- Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kraus of 3421 Gart road, McHenry, announce the birth of their first child, a daughter, Denise Michelle, at Condell hospital, Libertyville.
