Are you the kind of person who
feels so sluggish and sleepy when
you get up, that you almost feel
you’re allergic to morning?
It helps to get a sunny start on
your day. Golden citrus fruit is a
perfect, perky way to begin.

Wouldn t you rather keep
your farm in the family
than have it sold for taxes?
Planning your estate can help you avoid the unnecessary costs and heavy
inheritance taxes that often require selling a farm intended for children
and other heirs. But that's just one of the advantages of planning your
estate to protect your family's future.
As a typical Lancaster County farmer, you’re probably worth more than
you realize and it's so important to plan your estate for handling by spe
cialists. At the Friendly First, our trust officers, George Sload and Rick
Ashby, are the experts who can help set up your estate for the best interests
of you and your family.
Regardless of how little or how much you're worth, you’ll get personal
interest and plenty of time for discussion with a Friendly First trust officer.
You can arrange a meeting at any of our branch offices ... or even at
your home . . . wherever and whenever it’s most convenient for you.
Tragic losses can happen without proper estate planning. Don’t let them
happen to your estate. Call George Sload or Rick Ashby today to arrange
a discussion that can be very valuable to you and your family. Call them
TODAY at 397-4733.

juice-drenched texture, are also

The U.S. Department of
Agriculture reports large sup
plies of oranges and grapefruits
are available to tempt shoppers
at the fruitstands, and prices'this
month should also be inviting to
consumers.
It is easy to serve these fruits in
appealing ways for breakfast.
Quartered or peeled and sec
tioned, they make juicy out-of
hand eating. Or peel and cut into
bite-size chunks, adding chopped
apple for extra flavor, to make a
tangy breakfast fruit cup.
Another attractive serving idea
is sliced orange and grapefruit
“cartwheels,” with cottage
cheese centers topped by a
strawberry. Or serve scrambled
eggs with an orange wedge.
Squeeze the juice over the eggs
for a tantalizing taste treat.

In addition to your choice of salad
greens, use peeled and cut up
orange and grapefruit and sliced
onion. Toss with Italian dressing.
It’s tangy, tart, tasty and totally

Financial Plan Useful
There may be no statistics to
prove it, but it’s a safe bet that
just about every family that
succeeds in staying ahead of their
bills uses some kind of money
management plan.
There are many kinds of money
management plans. In some
families, sound money
management is accomplished
simply by talking over proposed
expenditures and keeping a
sensible balance between income
and outgo. Most families use
some form of financial records
ranging from a simple account
book to complete ledgers.
In addition to monthly housing
costs, a great number of families
now have other monthly
payments such as car and in
stallment loan payments and
charge accounts. Many families
have one-quarter to one-third of
their after-tax money committed
to regular monthly payments and
expenses.
Check stubs and cancelled
checks can make it easier to keep
track of spending and saving
patterns, with an eye toward
future improvements. And these

As I write this, we’ve had so
little snow that the children
actually quarrel for the privilege
of using the new snow shovel on
the walk.
Although there hasn’t been
much sledding, the neighborhood
children have been here several
times to skate on thejiond in the
meadow.
Last year a teenage boy, who
was skating alone one evening,
fell through the ice on the
Conestoga. My husband heard
the noise of breaking ice and
rushed down with a rope and our
toboggan.
Luckily the water was only four
feet deep instead of 20 feet as it is
at some places, and he was able
to crawl out and skate away.
Our ponds are shallower and
safer.

The kitchen is a nice place-to
spend a winter day.
My eight year old makes
cupcakes and biscuits. She
brough a book from the library
with new recipes. She finally got
my permission to make pink
popcorn balls with mar
shmallows, and they really were
good.
My older girl makes freckle
bread or should I say raisin
bread. Just now she is practicing
on no-cook fudge with honey. It
will be her demonstration for
English class at school this week.
I was surprised to hear that two
girls actually prevailed on their
fathers to bring horses to school
can provide excellent tax
records, too.
Knowing where money went is
not quite the same thing as
planning for spending, but it’s the
first step in drawing up or
revising a plan to make sure it’s
realistic. And therefore, it’s more
likely to work out over the long
run. For more information on
making and using plans for
spending, contact the Penn State
Cooperative Extension Service,

be on riding with Western and

Another girl showed how to
make pretty flowers using bread
as a base. I know that 4-H clubs
helped some of these girls fulfill
their school assignments.

Doors are sometimes a
problem in arranging or
rearranging furniture in a room.
The kitchen in the house where
I was raised had 10 doors. This
must be almost a record, I think.
Our old house has four styles of
doors and some are so low my
over-six-foot sons can’t walk
through without ducking their
heads.

Accidents Number One Killer
Accidents kill more children
than cancer, polio, heart disease,
pneumonia and influenza, point
our Extension safety specialists
at The Pennsylvania State
University. And it’s the
unguarded moments in your
child’s life that kill. Guard your
children from accidents by
training them to stay away from
livestock, tractors and other
farm machinery. Stay with small
children as they play at farm
ponds or water tanks. If you can’t
be with them, keep them away
from such potentially dangerous
situations.
