Consider Comfort In Planning Party For New Year's Eve Here are a few tipa for a successful New Year’s Eve party: Don’t invite more people than you can comfortably serve. It’s a nice idea to invite the whole neighborhood, but parties should be given in comfort. Keep plenty of ash trays handy, and keep them dean. A discarded ' cigarette may start a smoke screen coming from a tray of piled-up cigarette butts. Have plenty of dean ash trays handy and you may not discover a cigarette burn in your new rug after tiie party is over. . Don’t serve gooey food—unless you enjoy playjng a guessing game when your rug cleaner asks 'you to identify various spots an •your carpet Nuts, cheese cubes, cold cuts are perfect for a New Year’s Eve party. - ENJOY IM ffltct YEM'S mimo if ft#4 , The smart way to start off New •Year's Day is by enjoying the first day of the new year! I With some families, a big meal is traditional. If it’s tradition; if , everyone enjoys it, keep it up, by • all means. Just make sure that 1 everyone contributes some effort i to the occasion to the extent that j Mom doesn’t spend the whole day tin the kitchen. I If you don’t have a big meal on New Year’s Day, then take it i easy. Don’t do much of anything I except breathe. Hospitality is contagious, so when guests come, do as little as possible. They will relax and enjoy themselves. Have Snacks Don’t overdo the food hit for company. Have some nuts, cookies and fruits available. Don’t run a day-long No need to stay up late, unless there’s a good movie on. For dinner or supper, keep it to the immediate family. Cold cuts or hamburgers are practical; some salad too. Open house guests may bring a gift or two. Don’t say they shouldn’t have! Be grateful they did. It may be just what you need for your next party.

Professor Says No Resolutions 1 Best Policy If you feel you must make New Year’s resolutions, you would be wise to start off with this one: “I resolve not to make any resolutions this year.” That’s the advice of Dr. George . H. Smith, professor of psychology at Rutgers (N.J.) Newark College of Arts and Sciences. ‘‘At New Year’s, everyone exhibits a natural tendency to make a new start, to drop some bad habits and to become a better person,” the State University psychologist said. “This leads to a resolution to make a sudden and Sharp change to oneself. Sometimes this works, but more often the holiday resolutions fail," he said. “Why do New Year’s resolutions often fail? Usually” says Dr. Smith, “because they are i made under pressure without a clear acceptance of responsibility, I without even a deep desire to go through with them. | Not Sincere “For example, some feel they I would be better people if they logt weight. Under a New Year’s v ) deadline, they decide to lose a j large amount of weight. But they do not deeply wish to do so. They refuse to accept the hardship ini volved and so the resolution fails. I ————— ", '. — NEW Vt/«SfcSoiPTIOHs ..:. x ftftSsift StVEUP MAKIN© UK •\RESO4PtIOHS “Their deeper goal,” Dr. Smith said, “is to consume food—sometimes as an unconscious substitute for love or because of frustration, perhaps. “People can and do improve. But they do so by following a plan rather than by making impulsive resolutions at New Year’s, a ; birthday or a holiday,” he Said.

~HR| vjp u I Yost can got « Christmas bonus by pruning evergreens in December. The bonut: Yule greens. K Foundation plantings around tta house ar by the garden fence, will yield u surprising amount of decorative greens. And the shrubs and trees will be better for the pruning if it ie done judiciously. Start with a snap-like shears or sharp knife. Wear gloves and use foil to wrap the resin ends of branches. Snip and cut, never ruMlessly hack. Cut a branch at a; slant to a bud, twig or leaf. Never cut beyond green neodies. Always make the cuts conform to the symmetry of shrub or tree. Holly, hemlock and pine, especially white and Austrian, pine, can withstand rattar heavy pruning. Removal of ev*' ery second or third branch of \ hemlock, spruce or pine will promote better growth if these trees have not been pruned for some time. But be moderate in pruning a fir. It is best to gather Yule greens from home grounds, a few days before you start deco- • rating the hearth, the mantel, newel post or the door wreath. If possible, prune when the temperature is above 40 degrees F. Severe cold makes twigs brittle. Ctetnwsa The commercial Christmas tree you buy this year most likely didn’t “just grow" like topsy.' Chances are the tree you enjoy during the holidays has for several years received careful attention from a tree farmer. | Growing Christmas trees require almost as much care as tobacco, cotton, or any other\ commercial crop—and Christmas trees are grown with the idea of producing a compact,, well-shaped tree about seven or eight years old. Christmas tree customers have established such high standards that great stress is put on the quality of the tree, whether it be Fraser fir, Douglas fir, red cedar, Scotch pine, Arizona cypress, white pine or 1 other popular varieties. i| Commercial growers of the\ Fraser fir, for instance, start\ cutting back the side and top branches when the tree is about two or three feet high. Each year, in dormant months, the tree is sheared. The average grower plants 2,700 trees to the acre. Each year he mows around them for weed control and he maintains fire lanes. He examines each tree once a year and each tree is sheared annually the third through the sixth years. The big job—harvesting—comes the seventh year. Trees are carefully cut and trans-\ ported immediately to market, where they will soon delight boys and- girls of all ages. ** • - "Bs j||PL AIN’T NO SANTA ... Apparently this young lad be- ! lieves that the real Santa is off somewhere else and from i the expression on the youngster’s face, he intends to be off somewhere else, too.
