(Bob) Glen. Charter night for the new Kiwanis Club will be held on Thursday, Jan. 27 with the Battle Well sir 'and a "Ho Ho Ho," it's that time of year again. Harried and frustrated shoppers shop-pers have already been seen gyrating in circles with shopping shop-ping lists in one hand and rolls of imitation "sandwich quarters" quart-ers" in the other. Some' of our readers have written in and explained that, while our last year's suggestions sugges-tions were helpful, they came out a little too late to suit the majority. So, we hasten to make our 1965 suggestions while there are still 14 shopping days remaining remain-ing before the moment of truth. And again, some of the items on this year's list may prove so popular that they will be snapped up before a shopper can say "deficit spending," or words to that effect. Now, there is the "cordless electric knife" and we recommend recom-mend it wholeheartedly for the wife who is a mite butter-fingered. Last year our suggestion of an electric carving knife for the Little Woman went over big. It had an electric cord. One housewife got tangled up in the wiring while slicing the Christmas Christ-mas turkey. She cut into the cord, and the poor bird was executed ex-ecuted again. The second time by electrocution. Now for the little boys in the family, there is the "Torture Track" for toy automobile racing. rac-ing. It has crossover, power jump and crash sections, say the vendorsWhat could be better bet-ter for the small fry? A few years of this and they graduate gradu-ate into real teenage fender benders. Only $9.99 and well worm it. If Junior is a night roamer, they have just the thing to keep him at home and interested. It's a battery operated "Pinball Machine" with blinking lights and bells that ding. A few ev - ams, left, Is vice president and Bryce Jack-man Jack-man was named secretary at a meeting held Saturday morning to organize the club. Governor of the Utah-Idaho Kiwanis Ki-wanis district being the official offic-ial speaker, and members of clubs of the district being invited in-vited to attend. In ceremonies at the Alpine Country Club, attended by members and officers of the sponsoring Timpanogos Kiwanis Kiwan-is Club of Provo, James E. Morrison, field representative of Kiwanis International, officially offic-ially launched the new club. The new club will hold meetings meet-ings each Saturday at 7 a.m. at Park's Cafe in Orem. Wednesday's meeting was attended at-tended by Denzil Brown, Provo, governor-elect of the Utah-Idaho Utah-Idaho district; the lieutenant-governor lieutenant-governor from Division One, J. Creek enings at home with this novelty novel-ty and Junior can knock 'em dead at the corner pool hall. It's educational too. Just $14.99 less batteries. For the little girl of the house who likes to mess around we suggest a -"divide kitchen sink that can be filled with water from a tank in the back." Talk about a real mess, "Oh brother." broth-er." A bargain at $9.99, plus taxes. Now, for the King of the Castle, nothing could be better than an electric "sabre saw, with a built-in jet sawdust blower." blow-er." Most do-it-yourselfers just leave little piles of sawdust when they pretend to fix things about the house. But ladies, not your man, if he gets one of these, the jet blower is guaranteed to do a real scatter job, from floor, to curtains, to ceiling. Get him one and see. Only $23.87. For Mary Jane we recommend recom-mend a cute little cabinet for her dresser. It contains six bottles of nail polish, each of a different exciting color one for each day of the week, except ex-cept one. On Saturdays she might do a mess of dishes, sans gloves and get a fresh start Sunday morning. Price, $5.00 with lipstick to match. Now, for the tough one. What's for the snobbish couple "who have everything." We suggest what the vendors call a "Pretzel Jetzel." It's a $10 value, val-ue, reg. $7.98 but on sale how for only $4.99. The advertisement doesn't say what a Pretzel Jetzel is or what it will do and that's where the value is. The "Have Everything's" Every-thing's" may spend hours just trying to figure the gadget out. In that way they will be kept out of the giver's hair for the season. Happy shopping, and . . .So long 'til Thursday. . Jl III II . V.W--.I U-A D.
