"That is a terrible tollduring a period thatshould be a joyous time ofyear," Kline said. "Pleaseobey all traffic laws,watch your speed anddon't drive if you've hadtoo much to drink. Take abus, call a cab or ridehome with a friend whohasn't been drinking."

CUT

"Tis the season to bejolly - a house full ofdecorations, wrappedpackages and merrychildren and guests meanfun - and, a lot ofpreparation and addedresponsibility for Momand Dad.

The New Jersey StateCouncil says that part ofthis responsibility is plan-ning decorations, gifts andholiday parties that arenot only enjoyable, butsafe so that accidents,especially fires, don't spoilthe holiday fun.

Christmas trees, lightedcandles, arrangements ofevergreen sprigs - tradi-tional decorations whichspread the holiday at-mosphere all through thehouse - can also spread thehorror of fire.

A common source ofChristmas fires is thetraditional tree - to seethat your tree doesn'tbecome a fire hazard, theCouncil recommends thatyou buy a fresh tree withresilient needles that don'tdrop off when handled.Cut the trunk offdiagonally - a little abovethe original c;:t<,.Place the

tree in a stand that con-tains water or wet sand.Be sure that the base issturdy enough not to tipand wet electrical wires.

When trimming the treewith electric lights, checkfor worn insulation,broken plugs, loose bulbsockets and keep exten-sion cords short and outof the way of traffic toprevent tripping.

The popular metallicelectric lights attached tothem. There is too great apossibility that the treecan become electricallycharged. Use a color wheelwith lights focused on thetree.

Another reportedsource of home fires dur-ing Christmas is thefireplace, which is toooften used to burn giftwrappings and twigs fromthe decorations. Result - aflying spark from anunscreened fireplace startsa fire.

Most important, saysthe Council, do not coverlight bulbs with paper orcombustible materials,special lamps or coloredgelatin-type covers thatare fire resistant are soldfor this purpose.

What does Christmas really mean?From an investor's perspective, the close out of a

good business year with a tax shelter that'll hold upwith the IRS and have economic value?...nothingwrong with that!

Close family ties, warm fires, lots of nice gifts andthe warming glow and joy of thatrelationship-...that's good too!

But as investors in a world full of risks is thereanything else we may be missing? If we have lots ofother years with just these things, what then is thereal bottom line for us? Have we really done ourhomework or due diligence on Christmas and its realmeaning?

The Bible asks an interesting question. "Whatdoes it profit a man to gain the whole world," that is,all the real estate, stocks, Krugerrands, diamonds, oiland gas, etc..."and lose his soul?"

Where did you turn this year when your life wasfull of problems?...when your finances were in trou-ble... when health problems arose?...when your mar-riage was in trouble,...when problems too big for youwere piled on your head, when your world wasdisintegrating in front of your eyes?

At Christmas time some 2,000 years ago, God gavethe world a gift, His Son. And in that gift were a lotof promises. Promises which can make even greaterdramatic difference in a man's inner life thananything or anyone we know in this life.

A few of those promises were:I come that you may have life and have it more

abundantly. The peace I give you is not fragile likethe world's so don't be troubled or afraid. You cando all things through me because I'll strengthen you.For God so loved us; that he gave his only Son andwhoever believes in Him will have eternal life. "I willnever leave or forsake you!"

Sounds like one of those investment deals that pro-mises more than it can deliver, yet, after 2,000 yearsit's still around. Not a bad track record! Maybe justmaybe, the real meaning of Christmas is somethingwe need to investigate a little further!!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy ProsperousNew Year.

Report fromWashington

ByCongressman

Matt Rinaldo7th District, New jersey

With more than one million takeoffs and landingsthis year, the three major airports serving New Jerseyand New York are elbowing each other for more airspace The 20 percent increase since 1980 in air traffic' causing the Federal Aviation Administration todevelop a new plan for air safety that should relievethe current congestion. Besides improving safety, itwould mean fewer delays for the 74 millionpassengers using Newark, Kennedy and LaGuardia.

The most dramatic increase in air traffic has takenplace at Newark. The number of landings andtakeoffs have increased from aproximately 197,000in 1980 to 345,000 in 1984. Passengers using Newarkskyrocketed from 9.2 million in 1980 to 23.7 million.With the addition of the new terminal for People Ex-press due to open in the fall of 1986, traffic atNewark should continue to set new records.

The sharp rise in air traffic comes at a time of in-creasing concern over safety in the skies. With 486Americans killed in airline crashes, 1985 is the worstyear on record. FAA critics in Congress also contendthat the number of midair near collisions rose 25 per-cent. The House Sub-committee on Aviation, whichexpects to hold hearings on air safety in January, hasbeen demanding that more air traffic controllers beput on the job.

What is being done or planned to make the skiessafer? A number of improvements in air traffic safe-ty are underway, according to FAA officials andTransportation Security Dole. They include:

•Beefing up the FAA's force of 1,380 inspectorsover the next two years by about 20 percent and cut-ting their paperwork in order to concentrate theirskills on checking out aircraft.

•Initiating a "back-to-basics" program for allusers of the air traffic control system includingground crews, pilots and airport operators in order toreduce ground traffic incidents and accidents. Thenumber of ground incidents increased from 41 to 54in the first half of 1985. Among near misses werelarge commercial carriers that nearly collided on theground with smaller aircraft crossing their runways.

•Tightening up security against terrorists atforeign airports. The 1986 foreign aid bill enacted byCongress cuts off aid to countries that fail to remedyinadequate airport security. The Secretary otTransportation must assess security conditions atforeign airports. Where it does not meet standards,U.S. travelers would be informed of the conditions atthe time they purchase their tickets to a deficient air-port.

•Some S5 million from the airport and airway trustfund will be used for research and development ofairport security devices or ways to detect explosives.

•Stricter flight time limits for pilots. Under a re-cent FAA decision, flight crew members may not bescheduled for more than 8 hours of flight time bet-ween required rest periods. The Air Line PilotsAssociation called the new rule a major improvementover the old regulations dating back to the 1930s. Itguarantees a minimum nine-hour rest between trips-

•Implementation of jet engine noise controls on allforeign, as well as domestic airlines, operating at ma-jor airports, including Newark. Some 50 foreignairlines had unsuccessfully petitioned the FAA tohave the regulations waived.

•En route spacing of aircraft to eliminate trafficbottlenecks and congestion when too many aircraftapproach an airport at the same time.

•An automated early warning sector saturationalert that now continuously monitors high altitudeflights one to two hours in advance of their ap-proaches to an airport.

•Better information to general aviation users(small planes) to avoid certain sectors during busyhours.

•Procedure changes that expedite arrivals anddepartures at Newark, Kennedy and LaGuardiareducing the number and length of delays, other thanthose caused by weather.

•Increasing the number of air traffic controller* to14,259 with another 2,000 in training.

While these are encouraging steps, the develop-ment of the new air traffic management plan schedul-ed to be unveiled by Transportation Secretaryearly next year remains the key to the future gand safety of air traffic in this region.

Adults who have resolv-ed this year to return tothe classroom for profes-sional advancement orpersonal enrichment willget an assist from UnionCounty College in keepingtheir resolution at anOpen House for Adultsscheduled for Saturday,January 11, at 10 a.m.

Adults are invited to at-tend the Open House todetermine the oppor-tunities open to them attheir community college,according to CarylWatkins of Scotch Plains,UCC recruiter and coor-dinator of the OpenHouse for Adults.

Many adults, Watkinsnoted, are apprehensiveabout their qualificationsfor admission to collegeand their ability to com-pete academically withyounger students.

"At Union County Col-lege, we have found thatmost adults make an easytransition back to theclassroom and are highlysuccessful in their studiesin large measure becausethey bring to theclassroom life experiencesthat are relevant to theirstudies," Ms. Watkinssaid.

Mrs. Lee Bellinger ofLivingston, director of theCenter for Adults Return-ing to Education, willwelcome the guests in theMain Lecture Hall at 10a.m., and explain the ser-vices offered by the CareCenter. Those attendingwill also hear brief talksby members of the Admis-sions Office, ContinuingEducation, EducationalOpportunity Fund pro-gram, and Financial AidOffices.

Other faculty memberswill be on hand in theFaculty Lounge to answerquestions about variouscurriculums. Represen-tatives from theMuhlenberg HospitalSchools of Nursing andRadiology will also beavailable with informationabout the CooperativeProgram in ProfessionalNursing conducted jointlyby UCC and the Hospital.

At 11 a.m., a CLEPorientation will be con-ducted for those who areinterested in learning moreabout the College LevelExamination Program,which offers adults an op-portunity to earn collegecredit for knowledge ac-quired outside theclassroom.

The Adult Open Houseis offered free of charge asa community service, Ms.Watkins stated.

"Eligible seniors mayselect a contractor approv-ed by the New Jersey

Department of Energy ormay have ElizabethtownGas arrange for the workto be done," said DuncanS. Ellsworth, Jr., Presi-dent of the Company."There is still time to havethese energy-savingmeasures installed in orderto make significant dollarsavings this winter."

Senior Save is a jointproject of Elizabethtown'

Gas, the New JerseyBoard of Public Utilitiesand the New JerseyDepartment of Energy.

"Sealing up is an ex-cellent way for seniors tocut down on those winterdrafts that can be so un-comfor t ab le , " saidEllsworth. "Moreover,through these weatheriza-tion measures, seniorcitizens will be helping to

Child Carecourse

Are you looking for anew and exciting careeropportunity? Do you likeworking with children? Ifso, a unique 10-weekChild Care Providercourse offered by UnionCounty College's Depart-ment of ContinuingEducation may be foryou!

Designed and imm-plemented by registerednurses, the Child CareProvider course is design-ed to teach students thenecessary skills to becomecertified child care pro-viders and enable them totake further study tobecome certified nannies.

"With women enteringthe workforce in greaterand greater numbers, theeomtemporary Americanfamily is experiencing asocial evolution in childrearing and working pat-terns," Maureen Hreha,R.N., one of the coor-dinators of the course,said. "Families are seek-ing competent, qualifiedchild care providers, andthis course answers thatneed."

"It's unique since wedeveloped it from a nurs-ing perspective and sincethe training will be carriedout by a community col-lege," Townsend said.

This course includesdiscussion and hands-onlaboratory experience ofchild development andcare, nutrition, play, safe-ty, discipline and commonchildhood illnesses. Thebasic skills of homemanagement will also bepresented.

Upon completion of thecourse, the students mayapply to enter a three-week intensive praetieum,at no extra cost, tobecome a nanny with theAmerican NannyAcademy, a newly-founded, nurse-run nannyplacement service. TheNanny Academy will thenprovide employment posi-tions for the certified nan-ny.

"Child care or 'nan-nyhood' is quickly becom-ing a real career choice,"Hreha said. "Whetheryou're just out of highschool or nearing retire-ment; if you're interestedin children, can make areal commitment to yourwork, enjoy educationand gaining new informa-tion, this course can offeryou a whole new career."

"We could alreadyplace the first graduatingclass of twenty-five withno problem," Townsendsaid. "People are lookingfor alternatives to the daycare centers or searchingfor a relative to care fortheir children."
