It was sunny and warm Thursday Nov. 28th when the Putnam County, Indiana group met at Highlands Hammock State Park for their annual Thanksgiving Dinner. Traditionally this is a family holiday, but if you are far from your family, friends are a good substitute. This year only 16 were present for the noon-meal. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Grimes, Mr. and Mrs. Harley Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scobee, Mr. and Mrs. Ray MeGaughey, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Carrington, Clarence Scobee, Harry Robbins, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hughes, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Reeves. Much visiting and picture taking filled the time after dinner until Mr. and Mrs. Jane Gentry of Oak Garden Trailer Park and their son Lloyd and wife and children from Ft. Rucker, Alabama,came to the Park to be with the group awhile. Mr. and Mrs. E. Guy Collings attended the Tourist Club Dinner in Sebring the same day. Mrs. Collings has improved a lot since her recent illness. Mrs. Paul McGill joined a group of friends in De Soto City for a pleasant day of visiting. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Newgent, her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brattain, and Dale Newgent and family spent the day at Max Newgents. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Etcheson were Thanksgiving Dinner guests of their neighbors, the Markleys. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Poff of Coatesville were in Florida visiting his parents Mr. and Mrs. Howard Poff and his brother Joe Poff and family. Since Howard and Ruth were not up to attend, ing big dinners they spent a quiet day at home. Clyde and Joe went

to Cypress Gardens for a Ski Show. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Breedlove held their family dinner Thanksgiving evening with their daughter Betty and her husband and their granddaughter, Connie, and her children attending. I’ve not seen Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Bullerdick to learn why they didn’t come to the dinner at the Park. Tonny and Grace McGaughey were home and guess she says they don’t go many places. Our group felt the tinge of sad. ness for last year. Missing were Mr. Earl Alexander and Mrs. Helen Robbins who were with us last year. Each year we see our group diminishing. Special enlistment program Young men in the area are reminded that the Army’s 120day program is still in effect and anyone enlisting now may still remain home over the holidays. This program is proving very popular in the Hoosier area and Army officials are hoping it will stay in effect for many months to come. In essence, the 120-day program offers a man the chance to enlist NOW for a career field of HIS choice and stay at home for 120 days before reporting for basic training. This does not hinder his chances to qualify for a special school which will be guaranteed IN WRITING before he enlists. During the 120 days at home, he will be credited for this time for pay and promotion purposes. Full particulars may be obtained by contacting SSG Richards at the Selective Service office in Greencastle, Indiana or Phone Terre Haute 232-3617 (Collect).

Planning outdoor decorations again this Christmas? Or contemplating such a project for the first time? If your answer to either is “yes,” consider these suggestions from Bruce McKenzie, Purdue University extension agricultural engineer. The two most important things to remember, says McKenzie, are to use good equipment and to use it correctly. Outdoor decorations purchased some time ago and used over the years need careful inspection annually to insure serviceability. Insulation on electrical cords stored in closets or attics from year to year may become brittle with age and deteriorate. A check of cords, sockets, etc., takes but a few minutes and can prevent problems later. If you’re buying new equipment as a replacement or for a firsttime project, remember the best usually costs a little more but generally lasts longer. Check the information on the container or attached card. Some equipment is not manufactured for outside use. Since outdoor decorating comes infrequently, homeowners often are ill-equipped for the job and apply make-shift arrangements. This can prove dangerous. The best equipment, used improperly, can become dangerous when lying on wet ground or in the snow. Use common sense on the job. For instance, inclosing the connection of two extension cords in a plastic bag, tied or taped around the cord, and elevated slightly off the ground is a sound safety measure, McKenzie points out. He also strongly urges the use of good medium or heavy duty rubber or “rugged” extension cord—the kind that can take some rough duty and still hold up. Don’t use household cords. Miniskirted Safety UTRECHT. Holland <UPI)— Girls in miniskirts are less vulnerable targets when walking in nighttime traffic than those more covered, according to Jan Polak, president of the Safe Traffic Assoication. “The more leg. the earlier a driver sees somebody,” Polak explained. Noisiest Cities NEW YORK <UPI> — Where’s the noisiest place to live? New York City, according to a study by Owens-Com-ing Fibcrglas. Decibel sound tests showed Chicago and Los Angeles next in volume of noise.

Much wiring now sold for use with power tools and certain appliances has a third wire for grounding. Should your display include any animated parts, then this type wiring is especially recommended. Also, when power tools are used in constructing outdoor displays, certainly a grounding wire or grounding conductor is a sane safety addition. But remember--it has to be plugged into an outlet with a grounding terminal to do any good! Be conscious of the electrical load placed on a single circuit, McKenzie says. The typical out-

DKAK FOLKS: Kvery year people write and want to know how to paint pine cones and leaves for decorative arrangements during the holidays. (Jet an old coffee can or a plastic hleach bottle which has the top cut off and fill it about three-quarters with tap water. Pour some paint (NOT water paint. Use house paint, etc.) in the water. The paint will float on top of the 1120. Any color—silver, gold or flat white is beautiful! Dip your dry pine cones into this slowly and they will come out ever so lovely! Place ’em on newspapers to dry. If you make a mistake the first time . . . they can be dipped again with no harm done. W hen it comes to painting a branch of holly with a lot of leaves, why don’t you paint only the top side? I do this by covering the red berries with a small piece of foil, laying the branch on paper then spray - painting the leaves. When the bit of foil is removed, tin* beautiful red berries will show, the top of the leaves will be white or silver (some people like gold) and all the underneath leafy part is green! The branches have beautiful contrasting colors. Lovely for centerpieces, mantels or when a sprig is attached to the top of a lovely ( hristmas package—that saxes the price of an expensive how . . .

side plug will carry a maximum of 1500 watts. Low voltage systems are available for those who want to light house or yard areas on a continuing basis. Homeowners wanting more information along these lines should check with their power supplier. Of course, there are numerous other things to consider in planning, purchasing, constructing and maintaining outside yule decorations. But done with care and thoughtfulness, a display can bring much satisfaction to the homeowner and much enjoyment to viewers.

Last night while cutting my little girl's bangs, she picked up a piece of lined notebook paper and put it h/m/< r her bangs to keep the short falling hails out of her nose and eyes. I took a look at the lines then cut the bangs along one of them. Wow! She ended up for the first time with perfectly straight bangs. Gloria Clanton DEAR HELOISE: 1 know that many times an accident victim is brought unconscious to a hospital emergency room without identification. I have put a card back to back with my driver's license (both together in a plastic card-holder i with the following information: Blood-type, drug allergies, my doctor's name and phone number, accident insurance company and policy number. Also the names of two people to be contacted in case of an accident. I'd sure like to see the driver's license cards or forms of all states have a place on the reverse side for this information.
