PAGE 6 TERRACE HERALD, B.C * TERRACE, Byes Fad MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1984 ONE LITTLE CHRISTMAS COOKIE 100 DIET NOW, ENJOY LATER that you have added a pound or two in apite of your careful planning, you may want to en- list the aid of a measured diet meal again. Using it for a meal or two a day, you will soon be back te your desirable weight. And, for a delightful change of pace try one of the following recipes to add variety. While vigions of sugar plums danced in their heads ... Mom was busy calculating calories. Christmas is the most fes- tive season of the year, bring- ing with it a gala round of par- ties and goodies. Your enjoy- ment of the holiday activities may be spoiled, however, if you are constantly worried about the addition of extra pounds. For example, one Manhattan cocktail and four or five cashew nuts can add 225 calories to your daily intake. One piece of fudge will add 100 calories, and just one little Christmas cookie can add 50 to 100 galories. But you can get “in shape” for the holiday season by plan- ning ahead. You can start right now by eating smaller portions and adding low-calorie salads and broiled meats to your daily menus. You might also want to sub- stitute a glass of diet food for one meal a day. For example. Metrecal Shake mixes with fresh milk in seconds for 226 calories of sound nutrition, or mix it with skim milk for a 144 calorie meal. Use the leftover time to finish your shopping during the Christmas rush, or for any of the many last-min- ute details during this busy season, Another trick is to substitute a delicious hot diet meal on an evening when you are dining at home. Metrecal diet dinners like spaghetti with meat sauce supply the taste and appetite satisfaction of real meals with all essential nutrients — yet they contain only 225 calories. When it's party time, you'll be ready to join in the festiv- ities without worrying about extra calories . .. and you'll feel your prettiest in that new party dress, too.

Fashion the sleigh yourself — you'll need only. cardboard, corrugated paper, masking tape and Marvalon adhesive covering. Using heavy cardboard, draw the outline of a sleigh, forget- ting about the “cut outs” in the runners. Your sleigh should be all one piece, as large as you like. About 12 inches high and 22 inches long is a good rule of thumb. Cut two pieces to form the sides of the sleigh. it doesn’t matter if it’s not per- feet; the effect will make it an imaginative creation. Now cut out four squares from each piece of cardboard for the runners and your sleigh should. be taking shape. The only other piece you'll need is the “inside” of the sleigh, cut easily in a long rec- tangular shape from strong corrugated paper. AK UNUSUAL CENTERPIECE is even more meaningful if il’s created at home. This festive sleigh, filled ta the bells with surprise fashioned of cardboard, corrugated paper and Marvalon adhesive covering. . . Charming ‘Sleigh’ to Hold Gifts, Goodies, Greenery, Whatever —to Make, Yourself The width of your sleigh is dependent upon the width of the corrugated paper you use for the inside bottom. Eight or nine inches is a good width. Cut the length long enough to reach from one tip of the sleigh to the other, allowing for the “dip,” almost down to. the cut outs. Before assembling the sleigh, cover all parts with adhesive covering in a pattern to com- plement your room. Marvalon is an excellent choice... It “sticks” easily and if you make a mistake or change your mind, you can peel it off and re- apply it. Choose a pattern for the sleigh, trimming the runners with solid tone adhesive cover- ing. Lf you like, add gold braid as a trim along the edge. After covering the cardboard sides, cover both sides of the corrugated paper with adhesive covering.

Since_no one aolution will be equally effective on all spots, because of the variety of tex- tures, weaves and dyes in to- day's materials, part of your pre-holiday clean-up prepara- tions probably will include a kit with different cleaners for treating food, ink, dye, oil, paint, gum and even pet staina.
