J TOO MUCH HOUMrSMUr CAN BE To Make Shopping Easier DEADLINE FOR ARTICLES AND ADVERTISEMENTS IS MONDAY NOON TO MAKE THURSDAY'S PAPER By JOAN GOSPER N. C. State University Thanksgiving marks the beginn ing of the traditional Christmas shopping season. This can be a time of joy, purchasing just the right gift for friends and relatives, or it can be a tremendous headache. To keep the joy in giving. Dr. Thelma Hinson, extension family resource management specialist. North Carolina State University, of fers the following advice: -Shop with a list in hand. This should include names, gift ideas, sizes and color preferences. -Comparison shop whenever possible. -Try to shop when the stores are less crowded. There will be fewer people out on a Monday than on a Saturday afternoon. -Read labels and warranties. Keep sale slips just in case something has to be returned. -Stick to your budget. It is the thought, not the cost, that counts. HOLIDAY PARTIES Buffets are a convenience, but many foods need special care. Ham sandwiches, turkey and chicken salads and deviled eggs, cream puffs and cream pies all shouldn’t set out for long periods of time at room temperature, warns Dr. Nadine Tope, extension foods and nutrition specialist. North Carolina State University. Serve small amounts and plan to refill the serving dishes often. Freeze cubes of chicken and use them in preparing the chicken salad. They will thaw as the salad stands, keeping it as cold as possi ble. All of the handling which goes into food preparation can cause con tamination, so make sure all ingre dients are kept cold and your hands and all utensils are clean. Fill the pastry as close to serving time as possilale and refrigerate.

Pre-Travel Checkup If you are planning your winter vacation, the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT’s) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues an important reminder: Be sure you include a thorough check of your car in your travel plans. Nothing can ruin a trip more quickly than a breakdown when you are miles away from home, so be sure you have a qualified mechanic check your car’s tire, brakes, heating and electrical systems and fluid levels before you hit the road. A check-up of your car now may save you money, time and a spoiled vacation trip later. ‘Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.'
