A few years ago. I astounded
myself and a couple close friends
after confiding my purchase of
Christmas cards while shopping
for cattle show needs during York
Fair week. And, yes, I do have one
holiday gift already stashed, a toy
for our 21-year-old. Now, Rich,
you can ponder for the next three
months what it is.
If all this holiday talk has stirred
you to start planning ahead better
than I do, shopping wise, hcrearea
couple of interesting possibilities
from Miles Kimball’s Holiday
Preivew catalog.
A Santa shower curtain may be
just what you need and Santa
might appreciate one when it’s
time to wash off all that chimney
soot. What you’d better think
twice about putting out before his
arrival is a door mat that says, “Oh
no, not you again” or another pro
claiming “Welcome to the zoo.”
How about a roll of clear plastic
wrap decorated with holiday sym
bols, for those food gifts we all like
to share? After baking is done, you
might want to relax and play
Two eastern teams remain on
the Penn State schedule Rut
gers and Maryland. This will be
the last game in Penn State’s
series with Maryland and thus the
last “ Dairy Gridiron Classic”
event. The “Classic” features the
“Milk Can Trophy” given to the
winning team along with a $l,OOO
dairy and food science
scholarship.

For more personal gifts, there’s

to grips with the problem, ” she
said.
The Atkinsens credit the people
of their community and their
church. Paradise Mennonite. as
being extremely supportive.
“Society has scales, always
judging, comparing .... We realize
that God's scales are not the same
as ours. God created our children
for a special purpose. It is not an
accident. God knew. If God didn’t
have a reason for our children
being in a wheelchair, they
wouldn’t be there.” she said.

include miniature items, there arc
adorable little bales of straw for
that country effect Two sizes,
$2.98 for thiree-inchers and $3.98
for six-inchers. For do-it
yourselfers. most any farmer
would probably sell for half that
inough straw to “bale” your own
mini-bale.
My casual flipping through the
ratalog turned serious, however,
when I turned to a page featuring
‘cow” items. Several we already
tave, like the cow tree garland and
nugs with cow handles, gifts from
riends. But there’s a cow gift
vrap, and cow stickers, and cow
iddress labels, and... excuse me.
I have barely 100 shopping days
