ing Q new employe policy.

ing q minimum wage, o shorter

Sponsibility Of the officers is not

have been instituted in some
units, and by March / will be

cided to pay for overtime.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE,

[ CHRISTMAS is the time to decorate.
and here are ways AMI means to
make the job interesting and unusual!
II you're near the woods, get small
birch log to fit your table for the
centerpiece. Bore holes in it here
and there and fill them with pine
branches, holly, mountain ash berry
clusters, etc. Use birch bark place
cards with this table decoration.
When you use a Christmas tree on
your table. plant" small pine branches
full of cones in tiny flower pots and
set one at each place with the guests
name lettered on it. If you're using
snow and can't get the artificial kind
melt some sugar in water and spread
1t on the branches-it's Just as ef-
fective.
And If you're tired of evergreens
try making your Christmas tree OF
boxes this year! With family grour
this is fine idea. Get a number OF
various-sized boxes, plenty of metalli,
wrapping paper and cellophane. Pu
the gifts IN the boxes, wrap then
artistically and colorfully, then pilt
them roughly in the shape of a tree
with a small one on top to which
is fastened glistening star. Yo,
can twine your Christmas tree light.
among the boxes for added effect.
And don't forget strings of white
popcorn with fat red cranberries be.
tween. when you're decorating tn,
tree. Pine cones dipped in gold ane
silver bronze liquid are very effective
too. while cornucopias OF candies ane
nuts add just the right finishing
| touch.
