As for buying wood for your fireplace, the BBB recommends that homeowners understand what they are purchasing. A full cord of wood, the most common measure for firewood, is defined as a tightly stacked pile of wood' four feet high, four feet deep and eight feet long. Seasoned wood is that which has been cut and has had at least six to nine months to dry. Any wood cut in the last few months will probably not be ready to burn until late winter.

Children informed that the deceased ‘‘was so good God took her to live with Him,” may wonder whether they want to be good. God may take them away too. If Heaven is depicted as ‘‘in the sky” or “up there”, logical children may resist going up in an elevator for fear of going to Heaven before their time. Or a grieving child may want an airplane ride to see the dead. THE FUNERAL Should a child attend a funeral or interment? Should they be allowed to go when they are too young to understand it? Or should they not be allowed to go because they do understand death? “In general, infants and preschoolers should not attend the ceremonies because they may be disruptive or disturbed and confused by the weeping of the family and others. If you decide to take young children, explain in simple terms ahead of time what they should expect to happen,’’ recommends Dr. Wagner. School-age children will pro bably want to attend and would benefit by going. Children this age are typically interested in both the physical aspects and rituals of death.

I hope most of you read it. I am more convinced than ever that we must take the Initiative to change our image economically and educa tionally. One way to change economically is for us to work together to make a regular investment, i.e. monthly. Together we can make a difference in our economic betterment. The new year is a good lime to start. Educationally, we need to monitor the schooling of our children. Future needs in the work place demand good mathematical problem-solving skills, sound grammar and oral communication skills. Together we can make a difference. All of you have a very Merry Christmas and let’s work together for a more prosperous New Year. Your Alderman VIRGINIA K.
