Grandma Sez: Christmas all o'er th' world, folks 're a celebratin' th' won­ derful day wi' givin' gifts t' friends an* family, an' con- tributin' t' th' needy. This granny doesn't f rget how kind were folks when things were bad, back in th' thirties, an' a sick husband, an' two tiny tots, an' this ol' lady found it mighty hard t' git along. This year, me heart goes out t' so many, bereft o' their homes, an' hopes 'n prayers f r a better year ahead, f'r all, take up a lot o' one's thoughts. One wonders if it is a time to put away cares, an' be jolly. Reflectin' on Christmases past, (me especially comes t' mind durin' World War I. Many thing* were scarce, an' th' goodies needed t' make festive fare were not t' be had. E'en th' Christmas trees were few, an' it took too many dollars t' buy those available. Th' picture o' th' one me father made still r'mains in me mind. In those days, a hall tree stood t' hang our coats an' caps. Father took ours, bored holes in th' tall standard, an' havin' procured evergreen boughs from th' place where they were sellin' th' trees, he fastened th' boughs in th' hall tree. Mother an' he trimmed th' pretty little make-shift tree an' it was one o' th' prettiest we e'er had. Where there's a will, there's a way, they always said, an' th' practice made it true. A goin' through me ol' recipes, Mother day, me mother's hand- writin' came t' view, an' in her beautiful Spencerian hand was th' poem from England, handed down f'r generations, so, me thought t' share it wi' me readers, as follows: To make plum pudding to the Englishman's taste, So all may be eaten and nothing to waste, Take of raisins and currants and breadcrumbs, all round Also suet from oxen, and flour a pound, Of citron, well candied and lemon as good, With molasses and sugar, eight ounces, I would.

She is the daughter of Marjorie Fernstrom, 4115 Elm St., McHenry. Robert and Lorraine Shampo, Rte. 1, Box 34, Wallace, MI, are the parents of the bridegroom, James Shampo, who is assigned to the USS Sampson in Mayport, FL. Dr. Eric J. Snyder officiated at the 1:30 p.m. nuptial rite in Faith Presbyterian Church and in keeping with the season, a Christmas tree and poinsettia plants provided a beautiful background. Appropriate music included "The Rose" and "We've Only Just Begun," performed by friends of the bride, Stephanie Hankins and Valerie Boeldt. The bride wore a white silk organza and Chantilly lace gown, embellished with lace and pearls. It was designed with a high neckline and puffed sleeves, both adorned with net, lace and pearls. Her chapel length train and fingertip veil with a blusher echoed the lace and pearls treatment. Attending her sister as maid of honor was Tami Fernstrom of McHenrv. She wore a burgundy tinsetea knit dress fashioned with an empire waist and a Chantilly capelet attached to the bodice. The high, illusion neck­ band was enhanced with an English front and back yoke. The full, crystal pleated skirt was closed at the back with pearlized buttons. To complete the look, she wore a headpiece styled similar to an English riding hat, with a beehive blusher veil and streamers down the back, accented with silk flowers. Handling the duties of best man was the father of the groom, Robert Shampo. The ring bearer was the groom's nephew, David Schnell; and the flower girl was his niece, Sandi Schnell. Both reside in Wallace, MT Following the ceremony, approximately 100 friends and relatives attended a reception in the church.

Most of the year people are careful, watching what they eat and seemingly going to great lengths not to over-indulge. But the approaching holiday season has a not surprising way of changing all that. During the holidays, the combination of good food, good company, and good cheer can produce more than good times. It can also add up to heartburn, a common condition that afflicts an estimated 25 percent of the U.S. population. Heartburn is a term used to describe the unpleasant symp­ toms sometimes produced by overeating. Generally they include a tightness, pain, or burning sensation in the chest area behind the breast bone caused by a backup of stomach acid into the esophagus. Thfe best way to avoid heart­ burn is to be aware of individual limitations and eat accordingly. Here are some other helpful hints to keep in mind during the upcoming holidays and throughout the year: Certain foods and beverages, such as chocolate, fried and spicy foods, processed meats, mints, alcohol and coffee, have a tendency to produce heartburn. Eat small bites and chew the food thoroughly. Sleep with the head of the bed raised about six inches. Don't lie down right after eating. Do not wear clothes too tight around the waist. For those who suffer from heartburn, many physicians recommend an effective an­ tacid, which forms a foamy layer on top of the stomach contents that protects the delicate tissue of the esophagus against acid irritation.
