A sizable fresh green Christmas tree, glowing with tinsel and lights held center stage for the diners who enjoyed their tasty holiday baked ham and the trimmings in an atm o sphere o f neighborliness and nostal gia. After their dessert o f sherbet and Christmas cookies, they sang their favorite Christmas carols and opened their gifts of fruit and good ies supplied by the center. M ary Geneva Savage, director of the Piedmont Center, has guided this program for 12 years. Savage knows all her patrons by name. She knows which patron should have the general menu and which ones should have the menu o f bland foods only, or the menu for low-so dium or the diabetic diet. Only three persons comprise the paid staff of this center: the direc tor, an assistant and the caterer in charge o f the kitchen. Savage ex plains that the actual cooking o f the foods is done at the central location of I oaves and Fishes on S.E. 52nd Street. Volunteers transport the foods, packed in insulated carriers, in their cars or vans to the several dining rooms. Other volunteers serve in the dining room and collect (he small charge paid by each diner. Another set of volunteers assists by trans porting any elders needing a ride to an from the dining center. Savage is hopeful that more able people will volunteer to be drivers at Piedmont. " W e miss the service that was so faithfully given by Clyde W hite and by the late Cleophas S m ith ," she said. " W e need drivers for the three days o f the week that we serve, but individuals may give us as little as one hour a week, or whenever they have a free hour to give at mid day. We can always use the h elp." Stressing that no government funds are used for foods. Savage credits the help received from near by churches and groups, including: Highland Baptist Church, St. A n drews Catholic Church, Piedmont Presbyterian, M allory Avenue to take home.

Christmas pet care M ultnom an County Anim al C on trol urges pet lovers to insure the safety and comfort of the animals in their homes during this holiday sea son. Christmas poses special prob lems for pets. The noise, confusion, and activities are upsetting to estab lished pets and can be entirely over whelming to a new pet that is just being introduced into a household. The special plants placed in homes are poisonous and decorations can kill an overly curious cat or dog who chews or eats them. Pet owners can make the confu sion o f the season less traumatic to their cats and dogs by following some o f these suggestions. Provide a quiet place for your pet to use as a retreat when you are entertaining guests. Restrict the amount of templing, rich "treats” that your pet receives. M ake sure that all pets are wearing license or I.D . tags, in case they accidentally escape from your house or yard during any holi day celebrations. Be sure to con tinue to provide as much attention and love as you can— it's easy to ig nore a pet during this busy season. IX) not allow guests, especially chil dren, to tease or to play too hard or long with your pet. Multnom ah County Animal Con trol discourages (he giving of pup pies and kittens as Christmas pre sents, especially if the gift is a sur prise. “ The decision to accept the responsibility of owning an animal should only be made after careful consideration," warned Donna Wunsch, Education Coordinator. “ An impulsive decision to buy a cute kitten or puppy often ends in misery, when the animal is later given to a shelter or simply abandoned when the responsibility becomes too burdensome.” If, after careful consideration, pet ownership has been accepted as a gift. Animal Control suggests pur chasing a gift certificate that can be given to the potential new owner.
