816-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 28, 1987 Give The Best Gift UNIVERSITY PARK Dur ing November, our thoughts begin to turn to the holidays. It’s time to sit down with the family and make a list of all those people you would like to remember that with a gift this holiday season. Don’t forget to put those people who help you all year long, like the person who delivers your mail or newspaper, Sunday school teachers, music teachers, etc. on your list. Then decide how much you can spend for gifts. As a family, try to put one or two gift ideas next to each name on your list. If cash is scarce, or if you want to be creative and give a more meaningful gift, consider giving handmade gifts. We’ve gotten so used to buying things that we sometimes forget what may be the best gift of all - the gift of ourselves. There .are many possibilities for us to give of our time and our talents. Woodwork ing, sewing, needlework, and baked goods come quickly to mind. Another thing to consider is giving IOUs for your time -1 hour A Teen You (Continued from Page B 14) remarked. She’s convinced class room appearances play a vital role in poultry product advertisments. “Kid’s really take it all in. They learn a lot about eggs in a fun way.” Lonna sees a lot of changes for the farmer. She believes that in the future, farmers need to specialize more since it is too difficult for the small farmer to maintain his farm. “Bigger farms are killing them. The Amish are getting killed. It’s sad that their culture will die because of that.” “In some ways, change is good,” Lonna maintained. “Farmers are able to produce more on less land. Modem machinery makes a lot possible.” Although Lonna loves Lancas ter County, she does not forsee herself living in it forever. “I’m an outdoor type person so I couldn’t live in the city.

If you choose to give gifts from your kitchen, give the family a gift, too. Let everyone help, either in the making or in the wrapping. Even young children can help with mixing or making gift tags. Buy a Christmas stamp and let children stamp Christmas trees, Santa’s, etc. on tags. They can help put rib bons through holes in the tags. These activities also help develop eye-hand coordination in young children. Older children can draw their own pictures on gift tags, put names on, tie ribbons, etc. and of course help with shaping, mixing, and reading recipes. Don’t forget Dad! Try to schedule times when the whole family can work together. Families need strong holiday traditions - activities child ren and parents can enjoy year Can Count On I’m not sure.” Responsibility is something that Lonna believes she has learned and in doing so has earned trust. “My parents don’t set a lot of rules, like I don’t have a curfew. When I’m tempted to stay out all night, I say, ‘Lonna, use your head, you can’t stay out all night if you’re going to do eggs tomorrow.’” She added, “Some of my class mates think it will be the ultimate freedom to go to college and stay up as late as they want.” Lonna shrugs, ‘To me, it’s no big deal. I have that freedom now. I think kids that don’t have freedom when they live at home go off the deep end when they go to college and don’t know how to handle their freedom.” Whatever Lonna does when she goes to college and in her future years, she’s sure to be busy, for she has learned that activity makes life interesting.
