Agent Cracks can appear in your cup of Christmas cheer when gift giving becomes an exer cise in outspending one’s friends or relieving guilt feelings by giving beyond one’s real financial ability. Whatever the reason, cheer can turn to rapid gloom when debts persist over an exten ded period of time because spending for gifts and use of credit outpaced income. Careful planning can make Christmas a time of peace and joy that will last, even when the bills come in. Current high prices require that Christmas shoppers look extra carefully at the quality and features of gifts they buy, as well as the needs and wants of those to whom gifts are given. SEASONAL IDEAS 1. Planning is vital. Take a realistic view of the money that can be used for gifts, and allocate it to provide as many gifts as you desire to give. 2. If you are using credit for gifts, have a realistic plan for repaying that will not cause you to have to skip payments of any sort or to deprive the family of necessi ties later. Shop for low interest rates. J. Avoid overbuying. The term overbuying refers to buying “the biggest, the best’’ item of merchandise. Select only the size or extra features that will realistically beused by the recipient. Can you shorten your list for gifts to buy? 4. Leave something to be d&ired. A “starter set” of cookware or the bisit needs of hobby equip ment will allow the gift recipient to add other parts as he wishes and makes further gift selections for that indivi dual easier for you. 5. Avoid buying needldss items. A novelty item may provide some instant fun, but may become dust-gathering clutter later on. Practical, useful items may fill a real need for the recipient. Be sure to get correct sizes and best :olors. 6. Age of the recipient ihould be considered. A r'oung adult may be happy to icquire appliances or other durable goods for the home. Aged parents who have a home-and are in "the give away stage”--may be happier to receive gifts that are consumable. Gifts of food, personal toilet articles, magazine sub scriptions; these have current value and may be of special value to older people who have “things” but reduced income. 7. Consider giving yourself -a gift of time spread over the year. Make up a fancy “gift Crafts Made of Shucks BY JAN CHRISTENSEN N. C. State University Making “something from nothing” sounds im possible in these days of inflation. But homemakers in Rockingham County are coming close to doing that when they make craft items from cornshucks. Through the monthly Extension Homemak ers program; club mem bers are learning to ap preciate the age-old craft of using cornshucks to make dolls, doormats and flowers. As a starter, each home maker makes a flower, adds Mrs. Joyce Hildreth, home economics extension agent. Then, if she wants to try her hand at more complicated items, she can participate in a doll-mak ing workshop later. * ★ TOBACCO SALES In addition to the sales of 1974 crop tobacco, pro cessors and other buyers have bought over 166 mil lion pounds of stored to bacco so far this year. certificate” guaranteeing the bearer umpteen periods of baby sitting, watering the flowers or keeping the cat while on trips, lawn mowing, leaf raking-think of the things you can do for others who may need your services! 8. A gift you make yourself takes time and talent more than materials, as a rule. If you cannot sew, you may be skilled incarpentry, photo graphy or other hobbies yhou use to make items to give away. A living plant provides continuing pleasure. 9. Write a long, cheerful, newsy letter to an old friend. It can be read, re-read and treasured for a long time. "'O'‘ IpKHfl j b HRiwj A Stir-Fry Dish Have you heard of stir-frying? It’s a cooking technique In vented in China long ago. It means cooking focii while stirring constantly in a little oil over high heat. Recipes made by stir frying taste very fresh since the process seals in juices, flavor and good nutrition. The recipe is a snap to prepare because it used a boxed mix which includes a delicately seasoned sauce and a can of delicious pepper steak vegetables. You add your own fresh meat, onion and seasoning. Speedy result: a delightful meal to remember. PEPPER STEAK AND ONIONS 1 pound round or flank steak 1 tablespoon oil 1 medium onion, sliced 1 box (29% oz.) Chun King Pepper Steak Stir-Fry Entree 2 tablespoons A-l sauce Freeze steak slightly; cut into paper thin slices. In large skillet or wok, heat oil; stir-fry meat over high heat until lightly browned. Add onion; stir-fry 1 minute. Sprinkle sauce mix from entree over steak; stir in 1% cups water and A-l. Stir constantly over high heat until bubbly and thickened. Drain pepper steak vegetables; stir in. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until piping hot. Spoon over hot fluffy rice, garnishing as desired. Makes 4 servings. Garden Time Lawn Problems Solved With Renovation Plan I BY M. E. GARDNER I N. C. State University j It finally happened! I I made suggestions to a I neighbor concerning the I renovation of his lawn I and he carried out my I plan, to the letter. Now, I his lawn is the envy of [ all the neighbors in our I block, including me. It I really is pretty. I We began with a soil I test, as I have recommend | ed to you many times. [ When the report was re- I ceived, we found that the I organic matter was not I too bad but that lime was I needed. I The first job was to use [ a tiller to perpare the I seedbed to a depth of I six inches. The soil was I then leveled with hand I rakes to smoothe out de- I pressions. I After the first tilling I operation was accomplish- I ed, we applied the requir- I ed amounts of lime, ferti -1 lizer and peat moss. Then we ran the tiller over the I area again, working the I lime, fertilizer and peat I moss into the seedbed to !t\s a matter of life and breath!

And you may want to spread your gift buying throughout the year. Some shoppers are ever alert to special items that will be appropriate for giving at Christmas time, and buy during special sales as their finances permit. Remember that Christmas will come again 1 Don’t make gift-giving a chore to be endured, but an opportunity to bring pleasure to others. A simple gift of love cannot be measured in dollars and cents. a depth of. about four inches. When we finished this operation, one neigh bor commented, “It looks good enough to eat.” A little more smoothing with hand rakes, and the seed bed was ready to be seed ed. We bought the best Kentucky 31 Fescue seed that we could find and used a cyclone seeder which we rented from a garden center. Seed was divided and cross sown over the area for uniform ity. After the seeding was completed, we rolled the seeded area to firm the seed in the seedbed. Then we mulched, uniformly, with grain straw. Mulch ing with straw is impor tant for two reasons; in the first place, it breaks the force of the rain drops and prevents floating and puddling of seed and sec ondly, in this case, we had a steep terrace from the edge of the lawn to the street. We did an es pecially good job on the terrace to prevent erosion. And then the rains came. The tender seed lings soon appeared above the straw mulch. The neighbors inquired about removal of the straw mulch. Thiß should never be done as the straw will settle and soon be come incorporated with the soil. The vacuum cre ated by the whirling blades of your lawn mow er will remove some of it and this is o.k. Never at tempt to remove it with a rake. We used a bag on the mower to catch the straw that was pulled up along with the grass clippings. I worked up the ma ily, came out just right. did , t‘hr'wort h 'or“'4h“h ' warded.
