Here's a holiday craft project you can bank on being easy enough for young and old alike —a Santa coin bank.

red paper into hollow tubes approximately 3/4-inch in diameter. At the top of each tube, cut across at a slight angle so the legs will fit snugly against the egg. Glue the black bands around the other end and attach the Ushaped feet to the bottom. Attach the legs to the redpainted container, leaving roughly a 1 /4-inch space between them. Cut a slot for coins into the top half of the egg. Draw an inch-long line on the egg, starting at the very top and going downward. Heat this area with the tip of an iron covered with tin foil. When it is warmed, a knife can be used to easily cut a slot that should be roughly 1/4-inch Santa’s hat is created by wrapping the remaining piece of red paper into the shape of a funnel. Trim the edge of the cone to make it round. It doesn't have to be exact, since the edge will be covered with a band of cotton. Cut a slot through the hat, aligning it with the hole already cut in the egg. Add a puff of cotton for the point of the hat. Glue the hat onto the top egg-half. Fit the two halves together (do not glue.) Glue the red circle of paper onto

the head for Santa’s nose, the two pink circles for rosy cheeks and two smaller blue dots of paper for his eyes. Complete (he face by fashioning a fluffy beard and moustache from cotton. Glue the belt around the top of the red half and your Santa is complete. He’s ready to help you save for next year's Christmas presents. r With a bit of imagination, you can create Santa's entire workshop of elves and helpers. Just change the hats, add pointy ears, pointy feet and anything else you might imagine elves wear during the Christmas rush. Gem-handy idea She implants diamonds in your fingernails Sue McLevish doesn’t play cards, but she has discovered the perfect hand . . . and that is a diamond flush. Sue, a manicurist in Saint Paul, Minn., is doing a roaring trade with a simple 10 minute “operation" where she implants the gems in fashion-conscious ladies' fingernails. The diamond is implanted neat 1 the base of the nail and stands up to vigorous sports, washing up and even most catfights, says Sue, who charges $lO for the work and S3O for each stone. You can have your own diamond put in, she noted. The implant lasts between four and 10 weeks, according to the rate of an individual’s fingernail growth and only diamonds can be used, because other jewels are too soft.

Runner’s Book, draws on the authors' own sedentary experiences. It advises beginning non-runners to start off slowly, first with “warming-down exercies,” followed by no more than five minutes of leaning a

day. Marathon non-runners - those who can sit for hours in front of the television after it’s turned off - are offered “staying out of shape exercises, such as taxi hailing and deep groaning.”

The two authors, Vic Ziegel and Lewis Grossberger, say they were converted to non-running one day while strolling Times Square, when, they claim, “we were savagely run over by a pack of joggers. ” "Self-control is at the root of all virtues." Samuel Smiles
