Some wrapping paper, tags, tissue, enclosure cards, and tie on decorations, mixed with a dash of imagination, is all you need to whip up your best lbalch of holiday packages yet. First, a few simple, yet im portant rules to help you turn out professional looking pack ages every time. Be sure lo cut your paper the right size, allowing enough to go around the box and over lap admit two inches. It should extend beyond the end of the box no more than thee-quar-ters of the depth. Tape the lid lo the box to prevent bulges, then lay the box upside down on the paper, be ing sure to center the pattern o that it shows to best advan tage. Fold the paper around the box and seal. .Miter the corners at the ends and seal. ' Once your gifts are neatly wrapped, you're ready to let your imagination roam to dec oraie them. Here are some suggestions from Rust Craft lo help you get started: Silhouettes can he used lo give a hint of what's inside a fish if the package contains something fur the ardent fisher man; a barber pole if the con tent is after-shave lotion; notes if a musical instrument or rec ords. Decorate the outside of a tissue-wrapped package with a ribbon-tree. With green ribbon, form a series of graduated loop bov to form the outline of a Christmas tree, then finish olf with ornament tie-ons. Use red rihhonfor the tree's base. Use sparkling glitter lo spell out a person's name hen you have used a solid color foil wrapping. Write the name with an adhesive and then dust on tiie glitter. Children's gifts are bright ened with faces of clowns and Santas, or made to look like railroad cars. Make cars for the train by using flat pack ages of chewing gum covered with colored paper. L'se single life-savers for wheels and a whole package wrapped in red and white striped gift wrap ping paper for the engine. Tall, slender gifts such as bottles of perfume, can be made lo look like burning can dles, or like child's party snap per, when the ends are fringed and tied. For a very sinking effect, cut out a poinsettia from red and green foil gift wrapping and place it rn a package dec orated with gold and white Stl'ijJOS. Holland Windmills Are Priced To Sell I'niled Press International K1NDERDI.IK, The Netherlands UP1 If you're in the market (or a windmill, Holland is the place lo get one. The price is right you can get one for as little as one Dutch guilder (about 25 cents! but there is one catch: you have to sign an agreement obliging you lo nay for the restoration and up-j keep of the mill. This could run Ihe price up to about 20,000 guild ers ($5.0001. II costs about 40.000 guilders i$10,oooi lo repair a windmill. Rut since no one in Holland feels like spending so much on a nroKcn - oown winnnmi. uie k'v- ernment, local authorities and a, special society that has pledged lo keep mills going in The Neth erlands are willing to pay 50 per cent of Ihe cost. Tlia rtnvnrnmpnt ako offers new owners of windmills an annual! stipend of 500 guilders '$125'. No one wants to let the wind mills of Holland fall apart and that is the reason for these schemes. In K3, there were 3.000 wind mills in operation throughout The Netherlands. There are 977 left.! most of them run-down, damaged by fire or just standing there and coming apart at Ihe seams. An average of 50 mills has Keen demolished annually during, the past five years. The ministry'! of Education.

Chandeliers Swinning Into Favor CHICAGO i - Chandeliers a symbol of past elegant eras are swinging into favor again. Some of Ihe most imaginative ones come from Italy, where great attention has been focused on materials and new ways of using conventional materials. Probably the largest choice of chandeliers is still in the popular tear-drop style. Rut tliore is a great variety of metal trimmed chandeliers with decorative cer amic flowers. Plastic fixture substitute a matte surface for die sheen of glass but provide break - resistant, malleable sub stance. Part of the revived popularity of chandeliers is credited to wid varieties of use. No longer confined solely to gracing en trance halls and dining rooms many can be found suspended over end tables and night tables in place of the more conventional table lamp. This clears the lable surface for other accessories and adds an unexpecledly interesting o b j e c beside a couch, chair or bed. Selecting A Chandelier To select a chandelier, first study the room in which it is lo be placed. A note should be made of room size and of the site of the table over which Ihe fixture will be suspended in order to in sure proper scale. Bulkiness. the number of arms of the f i x t u r e and their placing contribute to the lightness or heaviness of Its effect. Generally speaking, a transpar ent or crystal look is more ele gant while an opaque effect, such as found in a globe style, will be more casual. A simpler fixture is, of course, more flexible and can be more readily moved to other rooms or other homes. A neutral color of fers greater flexibility also. Other sources of light in a room and placement of sockets are fac tors, too. Bulbs that are loo bright, as sometimes happens if the chandelier is the sole lighting medium, can overwhelm a deli cate fixture. sweet snack is not harmful if the snacks are counted as part of the daily nutritional pattern. But they should not be substi tuted for growth and development foods, which fall into these fouri categories meat, poultry, fish and eggs: bread and cereal; fruits and vegetables: and milk. cheese and other dairy foods Poor schoolwork and classroom difficulties may be only a warn ing of later problems, said the foundation. Research scientists now theorize that food patterns established between the ages of one and 12 may be responsible partly for degenerative diseases in middle age and later. Parental guidance is a must these developing vears, said the experts. Some children can judge how much food their bodies need, but they are not capable of estimating the amounts of sweets required or of selecting a well balanced diet. Surveys show that overweight children respond best to a sym pathetic approach, since most arc keenly aware that their weight puts them at a disadvantage in social events, games and sports The foundation suggested that appeals to girls be based on im proved appearance and groom- New 'Alumni College' Idea Catches On In Ohio ATHENS, Ohio il'PIi Some-lportunity for former students to thing new in Education an spend a few davs "with contem- alumni college" may become .porary thought in tlie cultural weight. Some nutrition experts believe that increased physical activity is more important than restrict ed food intake in manv cases of childhood obesity.

Loyal Bemiller, a Mansfield, Ohio, attorney, said he felt the class enthusiasm stemmed from a hidden desire to continue interests ordinarily dropped at graduation.

This has re-sparked an interest, and be lieve me. it makes you realize how important it is to continue paying attention to these things." Food Supply Still Ample STANFORD, Calif. (UPD Whatever other problems the population explosion may cause mankind, il shouldn't be the cause of hunger at least not for a w hile. In fact, man probably will gain some ground in his battle against hunger around the world between now and 1984. according to Em eritus Director Merrill K. Ben nett of the Stanford University Food Research Institute. "(Continuedi shrinkage rather than expansion of hunger situa tions in the world seems to me in reasonable prospect," he writes in the current issue of Food Research Institute Studies. "A billion mouths are accom panied by a billion pairs of hands and a billion brains." Barring widespread warfare there should be a continuance of the trends toward increased urlv anizalion, better transportation and communication networks and more widespread land cultiva tion, Bennett said. Vast amounts of well - watered land are still unsettled in the tropics, he said, and much more existing acreage can be irrigated, even without desalted sea water More swamps can be drained and existing farmlands can be made to yield two crops. And crops should get bigger with greater use of fertilizers belter pest control, improved soil management and better seeds. 1 II ill i -A i l v V I P "ran iiifrrtiiilni niTi.'iiMiCwtiHii SEAMLESS NYLONS SALE q12 Pairs $1MOq II, 10 days only-Pre-Holiday Special Jl Now is the time to load up on these famous maker first quality seamless m Ions.
