Christmas Plants And Berries May Be Lethal When decorating the house for the holidays, one should proceed with caution as favorite holly wreaths and plants are potentially poisonous. Many red berries, com­ mon to Christmas wreaths and decorations, are poisonous when ingested. The most likely candidates for accidental poisonings are toddlers and preschoolers, who investigate and taste most foreign objects, edible or not. In addition, thes. berries closely resemble tiny, cinnamon candies ' Live wreaths should be without berries and 'ne merchant can't be relied on to know which berries are lethal No decoration is worth risking a child s life. Also, f • istletoe and poinsett «a piants should ">e ignored. They are poisonous. Christmas is a blaze of color and lights. Red poinsettias. green and gold satin ribbons , twinkling lights and flaming can­ dles...lush evergreens and the rich contrast of shiny holly and red berr.es. Everything comes together to cast out the iron-gray cold of winter. The winter festival of lights developed in ancient Rome when more fires and lamps were needed for warmth and light. The happy effect was soon ex­ panded into an official festival In medieval times the use of brilliant colors was added to emblazon the holiday. During the reign of Henry III of England, the mediev a! splendor of Christn.." reached its height as ilu dyer's art bloomed into the mos1 brilliant, vivid fabrics ever produced Colorful clothes were commonplace at every time of year, but ( hristmas was the king's favorite time, so the castle of the royal fafnily became a spectacular display of red banners, green silks, in­ credibly deep blue, gold and silver cloth, and richly colored clothes, ribbons and wall hangings. Henry also set the tradition of lighting the giant yule loe «•> illuminate the grea; nail during the entire holiday season, and setting hundred* of lighted candles to iiiurr.:.iate 1'ie colorful tabr.es ail around. The Italians of the Renaissance took up these traditions and artists, craftsnen and designers to the present day maintain the '"Chris1 mas arts" from the creation of shimmering creches to the manufacture ot miniature Christmas tree lights and special or- namf ;its. t : • ; r > t h i n g t h a t shines, everything that u a r m s t h e sp "i' ..everything that ir :• t this time of happiness "n o ,-veet feeling a favorite nolidaj is brought forth in fav.n ;K colors and sparkling iights.

SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT The Best Day In the middle years of l ife, we often are so busy pursuing a l ivelihood that we neglect to plan foi the future. We think so seldom of the fact that we must grow old and that we fail to prepare, f inancially and mental­ ly, for this eventuality. all the achievements and disap­ pointments of the years. The middle years * are the preparation years. We chart the course of later life by the man­ ner in which we react to the. events and situations which challenge our understandings our courage, and our faith h) The ability to age gracefully ourselves and others. Particu­ larly important is the manner in which we handle stress, how we react to the loss of money, friends or health; whether we does not come as a gift . It comes, rather, with the confi­ dence and maturity one achieves by making the most of each pew day; it comes with the try to seek comfort in being knowledge one gains with each miserable or recognize the reali- victory and each loss, and with ^ that life is forever ongoing. 8 MEN'S NIGHT Every Mon & Tues 5 To 8 PM SPECIAL IIOLIDM r MOST THINGS IN STORE | 10-40% Off I 'Til DM. 24th! | •Handbags'Boots g •Dress & Casual Shoes For Men & Women I As the words of a popular song reminds us, tomorrow is always a day away.
