Shopping 'Round The Town by DONNA BICKFORD

This is one of the first times in my life that I can look back on last year’s New Year’s Resolutions without a guilty twinge. Of course I only really made one hopeful resolution ... and that was a pretty simple one, just to stay on my diet long enough to loose another 15 pounds and Keep It Off! I was even ahead of the game until we moved to Greencastle last August, discovered Handy’s Milk and Ice Cream company and I tried Handy’s sweet creamery butter! It tastes so good! Now I ev. use it in cooking, and while it may cost a few cents more to season vegetables with real butter . . they taste a thousand times more delicious! Scrambled eggs are great cooked in just a tablespoon or so of butter. I could go on and on! And then there’s our favorite whipping cream . . . and you might remember the mysterious Case of The Midnight Whipping Cream Thief at our house? And Handy’s Sour Cream for Dips, salads, baked potatoes and my favorite recipes! No doubt about it, the delicious, good butter and cream from Handy’s (not to mention the ice cream!) have made it harder to keep that resolution, but I manage to hold my own with an occasional lunch of low calorie cottage cheese and fruit salad! And I don’t regret a bite! I guess Til have to admit that the Double Decker Drive-In hasn’t made dieting any easier, either! The Jacksons have such a tempting menu of good things to eat that my willpower tends to wither. While my parents were visiting here from Oklahoma, we took them out to the Double for a nice meal. Hie atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable there, and the service Is always good. I felt very grateful to the Jacksons for making euch a nice place for us to take our dinner guests! My folks both love the Kentucky Fried Chicken and naturally picked that They were very pleased with the big selection of vegetables and salads at the Double and agreed with us that It was about the widest range of choices they had ever seen. The evening was a very

pleasant one, and I am only sorry that we don’t have more visitors to take out for a treat at the Double Decker! Curl Up! These cold gray days are just perfect book-reading weather for anyone! I hope your youngsters got a few books for Christmas . . . maybe one of the old favorites like “Tom Sawyer” or a “Bobbsey Twins" book. All the best in children’s books may be found at Books Plus, on East Washington Street. There is a big display of colorful, entertaining (and educational) books for children of all ages from toddlers to high school. Among the more popular modem series for youngsters, Mr. Long has the “Sherry Ames” books about nursing, the “Nancy Drew” series, “Tom Swift” and “The Hardy Boys.” He also has special editions for children of the more mature classics. If your children have Christmas money to spend, guide them into selecting a lifetime book-friend at Books Plus. They’re sure to thank you later! Metzger Lumber Company lias a brand new series of Amerock cabinet and furniture knobs and pulls on display. Called “Valencia,” they comprise one of the loveliest, most perpectly designed set of furniture accessories you’ll ever find! Styled along classic Mediterranean lines, the pulls would be equally stunning and appropriate on contemporary pieces of cabinet work or furniture. I was really taken by them, and you will be too!

Safe-Driving Recipe From Fentress: "Good Car, Good Service And Drive It Right!

“There are three essential ingredients fur safety on the highway,” says Jim Fentress, owner of Fentress Motors, 1201 Bloomington. “First you need a good automobile, designed right to include the necessary safety features. Second, you need proper servicing of that automobile to keep it in top working condition. And third, you need to drive it right, obey the traffic laws and watch the other fellow! “In short that means a good car, properly cared for . . . and driven right!” he stated. “We can provide the first two at Fentress, but you’ll have to take care of the last item yourself!” Representing Pontiac and Oldsmobile, Jim Fentress has been in business at his present location since 1953. He reports that ’66 was a “good year” for his products, and adds, “But then, we always have a good year . . . they’re good cars!’* Oldest Car Pontiac, always holding about fourth place in national sales is actually the oldest make of car oa the road today. The original Pontiac automobile was Brat manufactured in 1892 , . . 75 years ago! Today’s models however have littlo In common with those early ones. From the ultrapowerful engines to the colorful man-made fibers in the upholstery, Pontiac and OWsmobile offer an elegance and performance undreamed of by their creators.

Keeping ahead of the.automotive industry’s Increasing emphasis on built-in safety features, all General Motors products for ’67 will have 17 of the 18 essential safety features recommended by the government. These Safety “Musts” do not become mandatory until 1968, but at General Motors, they are already standard equipment. “We want to keep our customers . . . not kill them off!” is the way Jim Fentress puts it “Seat belts, for instance, have been standard equipment on all our cars for 2 years. Our car’s wide-track wheel-base design provides greater control and stability under all driving conditions.’*
