Be a friend on New Year is Eve says Chicago Motor Club

If you’re planning a party to ‘ bring in the New Year, the AAAChicago Motor Club recommends you “be first a friend, then a host.” New Year's Eve can be one of the most dangerous times of the year for motorists, according to the AAA-CMC, since all of the most lethal factors that can lead to accidents are present. These factors include trips close to home, more hours of darkness, possible poor driving conditions due to ice and snow and of course, use of alcohol. The AAA-CMC offers these suggestions for party givers: First, if you’re serving alcoholic beverages, greet your guests with a drink of moderate proportions. Thereafter, let guests mix their own drinks. They probably will make them weaker and less frequently. Second, include a variety of non-alcoholic beverages or lightly-spirited punches along with a buffet. $ Third, have a tempting array of dips, snacks and hot dishes. Food will help slow the absorption of ■ alcohol into the bloodstream. About an hour before your guests are due to leave, serve a rich dessert and coffee or tea. Contrary to popular belief, coffee ortea will not make a party-goer sober, but they’re good substitutes for that final “one for the road.” Finally, before your , guests Local woman fails to yield right-of-way Denise I. Mast, 207 W. Brooklyn St., Syracuse, was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way following an accident in Goshen, Friday, Dec. 26, at 7:25 p.m. The accident was at the intersection of Pike and First Streets.
