Safe drinking urged MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The best way to make sure everybody has a good time at a party is to make sure the booze flows, right? Wrong, say the people in a program sponsored by the University of Wisconsin and the State Bureau of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse. ‘•We’re trying to show people how to have responsible drinking parties," Judie Pfiefer of the UW Drug Information Center said. ‘‘We’re not against drinking; we’re in favor of safe drinking.” She says the idea is to show hosts of parties how to help their festivities from becoming sloppy affairs which end up with drunk drivers trying to negotiate their way home late at night. “Our whole culture is to behave a certain way toward alcohol,” she said. "We’re trying to change that.” Perhaps the most important thing a host can do, she said, is tt avoid pressuring guests to drink. “The attitude of the host or hostess should not be to become an alcohol pusher,” she said. “They should not make doubles or make guests feel uncomfortable if they don’t have a drink in their hand.” Too often, she said, the people throwing the party let their hair down and have too much to drink themselves while forgetting that the guests have to drive and that some people do not handle alcohol as well as others. She said the host should make sure there is an adequate supply of nonalcoholic beverages available rather than simply coffee or soda and that parlor games or other diversions are available so that drinking is not the party’s only function. “It’s important to make the nonalcoholic alternatives as attractive as the alcoholic punch or beverages,” she said. Nancy Kaufman of the state bureau said hosts should also make sure guests have plenty to eat to keep them from feeling the effects of the liquor too quickly.

Makin' things Animal pillows become child's friend

By ED BALDWIN Your child will love these plump, cuddly friends. Stevie made them as pillows for 4-year-old Mark’s bed, but they now have earned first place under the covers at night, and he takes them with him everywhere. Stevie doesn’t mind, ’cause they’re washable when they get peanut butter and jelly spots. And because there are three of them, Mark will part with one at a time till they are clean again. IT SEEMS they’re pretty popular with Mark’s friends, too. It’s a perfect birthday gift for Mark to give - inexpensive and quick to make. Mark picks the animal he wants to give, and Stevie stitches it up. I’ve noticed that Mark has been invited to more and more parties lately! To make each animal, you need a piece of white cotton fabric 11 by 28 inches. That size will be enough for both the front and back of one animal. Enlarge the design to 9 by 12 inches, and transfer it to the fabric, using carbon paper and a soft pencil. Paint or embroider the features, and cut a matching back for the finished front. Pin the front and back right sides together and sew around the outer edges, leaving an opening

Easy corn relish

Crafts Questions and Answers Q. We live in an older home which has plaster walls. Each time I attempt to drive a nail into the plaster to hang something, I end up with a huge hole. How can I avoid this? A. Our own experience is that the trouble starts when the nail bends. You’ll have less difficulty if you use a rigid-type nail. For small jobs, paneling nails work well. If you are hanging something extremely heavy, try concrete nails. If you have an electric drill, you can put the nail in the chuck and use it as you would a drill bit.

Supermarket Shopper Organizing cash-off coupons

By MARTIN SLOANE This year the big food manufacturers will distribute more than 80 billion cash-off coupons. These coupons represent many billions of dollars worth of supermarket discounts. Unfortunately only three per cent of those coupons will be redeemed. The reason many of the coupons don’t get used is that most shoppers don’t know how to organize them. They throw them into a drawer and wind up with “coupon mess.” Eventually the coupons expire and the whole mess gets tossed out. THAT IS MONEY down the drain. What a waste! I take cash-off coupons a lot more seriously because they save me S3OO to S4OO each year. They are easy to find. I always have hundreds to choose from. On the average, they give me a 15-per cent discount. That’s more than the current rate of inflation. WHEN SUPERMARKETS offer double value on coupons, I have a field day! I pick out my high-discount and high-value coupons to save S3O and more on the food and household items I use most. My secret for cashing in on cash-off coupons is to organize them into these 12 easy-to-use product groups: 1. Cereals, breakfast products, baby products. 2. Dairy products, oils, margarine, diet products. 3. Soups, snack foods, candy. 4. Vegetables, starches, fruits. 5. Seasonings, sauces, sugar, syrups, salad dressings. 6 Meat, poultry, seafood, other main dishes. 7. Baked goods, desserts. 8. Beverages. 9. Miscellaneous food products. 10. Cleaning products, soap, paper products, bags, wraps. 11. Health aids, personal products, cosmetics.

By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer Air fares are on the rise again and would-be travelers have to be more careful than ever if they want to get the most for their money. The Civil Aeronautics Board has just revised its 28-page guide to air travel in the United States. To get a copy, write: “Fly-Rights,” Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, Colo., 81009. The guide is designed to be as up to date as possible, but the business is changing so quickly these days that the board warns: “By the time you read this, a few of the rules ... may be different.

Soon you will have hundreds to choose from. Here are some tips that will help you to cash in on your cash-off coupons: --Clip every coupon you can find. You can trade what you can’t use. --Try to find a coupon discount for almost every item on your shopping list. That is the secret to consistent savings. -YOU WILL SAVE MORE if you are ready to try new brands and new products. -Never buy a product just because you have a coupon. -Don’t try to carry all your coupons with you. Take just the ones you need for each trip to the supermarket. -Don’t be shy about handing your cashoff coupons to the cashier. Manufacturers pay a supermarket 5 cents for every coupon it handles.

plan to use or the nearest CAB office if you have any questions.” Higher fuel costs have been blamed for the latest round of price increases and the carriers -say the situation is expected to get worse. United Airlines officials, for example, predict that by the end of next year, it will cost up to 50 percent more to fly than it does today. The boosts will not affect all routes or airlines equally. Because of deregulation, there is a wide variety of fares and promotional offerings. One airline may charge more for a particular trip than another.

calls and persistence. Here are some things to remember: —Make plans as far ahead of time as possible. The number of discount seats is usually very limited and the cheaper tickets are often sold out weeks or even months ahead of popular holiday periods. —Find out what will happen if you switch flights. Is there a cancellation penalty? Is there a deadline after which you no longer qualify for a discount fare? What if you get sick or are forced to cancel by circumstances you can’t control? —ls the fare guaranteed? As a general rule, domestic airlines will not charge you extra

once you have bought your ticket even if the fare goes up. —Be careful with your ticket. “Getting a refund or replacement for a lost ticket is a lot of trouble and there’s no guarantee you’ll receive either one,” says the CAB. —Learn what your rights are in case you are bumped. Under CAB rules, an airline which overbooks a flight must ask for volunteers who are willing to be bumped in exchange for compensation. The amount of the compensation can vary; you can bargain to get the best deal. If there are no volunteers or if there aren’t enough the airline gets to decide who will fly.
