The designation “imi tation" on a food label doesn’t necessarily mean a product is an impostor or of low quality. It does mean that the main in gredients do not meet federal standards QI ANTITYW ISE. For example, ''lmitationpeanutbut- ter" has less than the 90 per cent peanuts required for a peanut butter" label. "Imita tion preserves’’ have less than 50 percent fruit required for preserves. And “imitation hams’’ have water in excess of 10 percent. Here are Mime up* from the maker* of Crayola crayon* to help smooth out the wrin kle* in your Christmastime household 1) A week before Christ mas or even earlier, make up a special Christ ma» Calendar Small children know Christ mas i* coming, but they aren't sure when, and they get easily discouraged as the day* drag on Draw 8 or 10 large square boxes on a large while card board or art pad sheet. Use different colored crayons to make the lines, and mark only the last aquare "Christmas Day’’ the goal! Each day,have your tot crayon a picture in that day’s square- whatever his active imagination con ceives. As blank squares fill up with colorful drawings, hell know Christmas is com ing closer, and those “endless last days" will be more enjoy able and seem to go faster 2) Give your child a small present before Christmas a simple game to be shaied while 1 they wail for the Big .the box of crayons D*y he’ll use i to fill in his Christ- maybe just a mas Calendar, I Pago Nino BEFORE CHRISTMAS, TOO Buy * package or pad of plain white office stationery and fold about a dozen sheet* down into greeting card-size aquare*. Give these to your child with the crayons, snd show him how to draw his own Christmas cards for fam ily, school mates, teacher. It's lot* more fun than buying regular greeting card* and it can do a lot to keep small fry happy and save your nerves. 3) When Christmas day arrives, make sure tots' stock ing* are stuffed with some item* that encourage crea tivity. waler paints, model ling clay, a big fresh box of pointy new crayon* at the top of the stocking (this time a fat box of 64 brilliant color*- a range of color* you can’t get in any other drawing instrument). No matter how many crayon* a tyke ha* re cently blunted and mauled, there’s just nothing like open ing a spanking new set. It's nice to note, too, that they're one of the safest playthings around no sharp points, and nontoxic 4) Plan the day after Christmas as a "relax-and- enjoy-it” day. Let the chore* wait awhile, and if your child ren want you to share their new toys as they play with them.do it'Many well-behaved children rebel when the day after Christmas isn't given over to sharing their new toy* with friends, and even with Mom The day after Christmas ICE FILLS THE SNAKE RIVER near the Nyssa bridge. Further downstream near Farewell Bend ice is piling up in shallow water and backing up the river, forcing several families in the area to evacuate to higher ground. 1CYCLES HANGING FROM THE ROOF of Malheur Memorial Hospital attested to the sub-zero weather last week throughout Treasure Valley. Bitter cold and bright, smny skies made a sharp contrast. TREASURE VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE CONTINUING EDUCATION SCHEDULE FEEDING YOUR FAMILY. It will cost you about $8,300 to feed a girl from infancy to age 18, and about $8,900 for a boy, according to U.S. De partment of Agriculture esti mates. Food costs per child increase as the child grows older. The food needs of young boys and girls grow at the same rate until they are about nine years old. Then a gap in their eating pattern emerges. These costs do not take into account any rise in food prices or the candy bars and ice cream cones purchased by the child away from home. Nor does it include the high cost of pro viding snacks and occasional meals for his friends.

STORE BUY WITH SAFETY IN MIND. The new ruling on flammable sleepwear is now in effect. All children’s sleepwear up to size 6X must carry labeling that cautions the buyer in case that particular garment is not flame retardant. Look for the label that tells you about flam mability control. A boss is someone who is early when you're late, and late when you're early.
