Don't let kids wait too long for Christmas Santa Claus may have al ready arrived at local stores and decorations may have been up since Thanksgiving, but parents who want to make Christmas meaningful and pleasant for their cnil- dren won’t give in to commer cial pressure and begin the celebrations too soon. “A long anticipation period can be very difficult for chil dren to cope with,” says Suzanne West, a family development specialist for Cornell Cooperative Exten sion. “Children have a dif ferent sense of time. Six weeks can seem like an eter nity to a child,” West says. Parents can make the holidays easier for their chil dren by waiting until two or three weeks before Christmas to begin preparations. Preparations should be made in small, easily managed steps Regular routines should be maintained as much as possible Topi tr Prtndge French Hen*.

The Eastons bought the Franklinville funeral home from Richard Allen, who will take a long- awaited vacation and look around for a new business opportunity. “We plan to offer the same caring service that people are used to from Babbitt and Al len,” says Cleon Easton, who will live in the upstairs apartment at the business with his wife and infant daughter, Dana. “Eventually we’ll be looking to add some services such as pre-arranged and pre-paid funerals. We also plan to expand our selec tion of cemetary markers and monuments.” THE BUSINESS WAS started in 1924 when Guy Babbitt moved to Franklin ville and started it, along with a furniture store.

Cleon Easton by Marianne Barnas The Holland School board decided to seek bids in January for the purchase of two 65-passenger diesel school buses, contingent on voter approval in June. The estimated cost of each bus is $38,000. The bus proposition in June could also include the purchase of one 16-passenger van, for transporting han dicapped students. Transpor tation Supervisor David Kennedy also asked that the fleet’s two present mid-sized cars be traded in for';two new ones through the regular budget. He estimated the cost of tne van to be $18,000 and the cars to be $8,500 each. A PRESENTATION was made by high school social studies teacher John Meader, student government presi dent Micnelle Kerber and Kyle Jordan, student, con cerning the formation of a Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) chapter in Holland Miss Kerher said that the group hopes to have a SADD day, featuring a movie and guest speakers. The group will distribute contracts in which students and parents agree not to drive drunk and to seek transportation from someone who is sober. KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS Virginia Lietz, Trena Mooar, Carol Milliron and Mary Delmont outlined their program’s curriculum, activities and goals. Miss Lietz said she recently visited another school system that also had a full-day kindergarten pro gram and returned feeling that Holland’s program was exceptional. On benalf of all the kindergarten teachers, she asked that the board keep class size in mind when determining the 1987-88 budget. “There is a marked difference between 20 and 25 students,” she said. “We don’t have an aide who works with us.” The board authorized su perintendent Peter Roswell to act as temporary purchas ing agent, administrator of In the Service the payroll and public-access records officer due to the resignation of business manager Diane Rohl, effec tive December 12 . Roswell was also given investment authority. Helen Nelson, dis trict clerk, was approved as temporary controller for the extra-curricular funds. DUE TO THE staU Department of Transpor tation’s plans to repair the Holland-Glenwood Road bridge, the board voted to ask the DOT to provide im mediate and safe access to th a t road while repairs arc going on so that buses will not have to be re-routed. The board approved a commendation of James Tan ner, a recently deceased so cial studies teacher, which will be sent to his familj “His service to the district for over thirty-eight years server as a testimony to the dedica tion h e felt for our students . he served as a role model for youngsters. Mr. Tanner al ways displayed a cheer fulness that showed hi*, desire and love for teaching His enthusiasm was bound less; his leadership common dable . . . We at Holland haw suffered a great loss, but \w are thankful for the main years we had James Tanner amongst us.” In personnel action, Bar bara Reichert was appointed as a regular substitute teacher in social studies from December 10 through January 30, until Mr. Tan ner’s position can be per manently filled. Approved as substitute teachers aides were Marguerite Thompson, Sandra Thum and Lydia Freyburger. Mrs. Thum and Ms. Freyburger were also ad ded to the substitute clerk- typist list. Daniel P.
