were privileged to read their parts

expressing the Christmas spirit
opened the doors on Friday for
Loaves and Fishes at the Piedmont
Presbyterian Church and for about
50 of their dinner guests, senior citi
zens o f the Piedmont district.
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

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.
