SEC. A — PAGE 6—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, December 20, 1967 CHRISTMAS CLASSIC . . . Shown above is the miracle scene from Gian Carlo Menotti’s beloved Christmas opera, "Am a hi and the Night Visitors." The opera has been presented 17 times on network television during the Christmas holiday seasons. MARK YOUR OWN SNOW An economical way to dress up your holiday dec orations is to make home made "snow”. Put lots of soap chips or flakes in a little water. Beat lightly with a wire mesh spoon, long enough to get a thick foam. Smear on nee dles and stems of Evergreen branches, allow to dry, and you have a winter snow ef fect. Silver Decorations Silvered berries, leaves, seed pods and sprays of ivy may be made by pouring a small amount of aluminum paint into a deep container almost filled with water. The paint floats on the water. Dip the mater ial to be silvered into the water and draw it out slowly. Hold it over the container until it has stopped dripping. Then hang it in a dry place for 24 hours. Aluminum paint for metal surfaces works best. OUTDOOR THEME If you want your outdoor deco rations to sparkle, begin with a plan. Keep your plan simple, accenting and decorating a single feature — a tree, chimney, or door. Use your imagination to camouflage floodlights. Pine bough, tiny figures, or snow banked behind the lights hide them well. Don’t overdecorate with lights strung haphazardly from tree to tree, or gate to gate No Dangerous Items There are some especially hazardous holiday trim. Did you know that even metallic icicles are dangerous to chil dren? If ingested they can cause serious lead poisoning. Also, snow sprays contain poisonous propellants if inhaled.
