The annual Christmas Candle

musical selections performed by
the Handbell Choir, Bennett Col

Selections included “0 Jesu so
sweet" by J.S. Bach to “The night
that Christ was bom” by Kirk

“It was nice to sing a song in

perfected a week ago,” Lockard
said.
“I’ve grown to really respect
Valerie Johnson [choir director].
She’s very patient with us.”
During her closing remarks.

face, it is important to continue to
rise.

(NAPS)—How long does it take
to perform holiday tasks?
A recent survey revealed that it
takes 7,257 minutes (over 5 days)
to shop for gifts, wrap them, deco
rate the house, write greeting cards
and cook a holiday meal.
That doesn’t include buying
new outfits, caring for your ap
pearance or making New Year’s
plans.
Holiday Tips
• It’s a wrap. Have gifts
wrapped in the stores or
put presents in gift bags.
• Make technology do the
work. Keep a holiday address
list on your computer and
print out envelopes or labels.
• Choose a Secret Santa.
Have family members draw
names for gift giving.
• The write time. Write
holiday cards while watching
television, during lunch hour
at work, or while commuting.
• Ready to Wear. Set aside
holiday outfits in advance for
impromptu holiday gather
ings. Use the minutes you
save to enjoy the festivities
and have fun.
Every American Wants A Safe Blood Supply.
Here's Wliat We're Doing About It.
1TI ill AMERICAN HLOOD SUPPLY
is constanlly and llioroughly
tested.
2B1.00D BANKS HAVE ADDED
FIVE ADDITIONAL SCREENING
TESTS for infectious diseases
since 1985 to increase safety. Seven
separate screening tests are now con
ducted on each unit ot bkx>d donated,
including tests for AIDS, hepatitis and
syphilis.
THE U.S. DOES NOT ALWAYS
S I lAVE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY
w/ Ol* BLOOD. While protecting it
against infectious diseases is of primary
ci)ncern, maintaining an adequate sup
ply of safe blood has become increas
ingly inipi>rtant as donors receive more
scrutiny.
