Main St. group pick new slate It's no wonder that the record- ing White Christmas is the larg- est-selling record ever—child- ren and adults always look forward to a Yuletide that is dressed in frosty white. This Christmas, whether the skies are clear or heavy with snow clouds, you and your family can create your own Currier & Ives-type of snowy country- side. This wintry Christmas scene, complete with Santa and jolly snowman, lets you give vent to your imagination. you'll need: round toothpicks (2 or 3 boxes), 10-15 paper towels; cotton bat- ting; roll of aluminum foil; can of snow spray; 5 marshmallows; 13 gum drops; red, blue and green food coloring; toothpick box; navy blue crepe paper (one large sheet); tiny gold or silver stars; glue, paper, pen and ink, one index card.

ALLAN WESTCOTT REPRESENTATIVE How to care for cut plants Mrs. Percy Merkley conducted the worship centred around the gift of the Wise Men. She was assisted by Mrs. Douglas War- ren. Several ladies each placed an ornament on the Christmas tree with a comment on its mean- ing and relation to one's faith in Christ. Santa Claus and helper came, gifts were distributed and the identity of mystery sisters was revealed. Lunch was served. You can't have Santa without at least one of his faithful rein- deer, and you can make them from gum drops. Connect four gum drops with toothpicks to form the body; a gum drop with six bits of toothpick make the head; one toothpick with a gum drop on the end for each foot completes Don- ner—or is it Blitzen? Reins for the reindeer are made of two toothpicks glued together. To add reality to your scene, fashion trees and shrubbery from the green-dyed toothpicks. Two of them glued together make the trunk of a fir tree, while branches are made by placing larger and larger bits of toothpick—going from top of the tree to bottom— until you have a majestic Christ- mas tree. As a final touch, place a piece of dark blue crepe paper behind the scene for background, and adorn the "sky" with tiny gold or silver stars ( the kind that can be bought in any five- and-ten-cent store.) Spray the whole project lightly with snow. And then you and your family can sit back and sing a mellow tune of Christmas expectation; "I'm dreaming of a white Christ- mas " scene! Connect two marsh- mallows, one on top of the other, with toothpicks. Make each leg with a separate marshmallow, and fasten with toothpicks. In- sert a toothpick half with a gum- drop on the end for arms, feet and cap; then create jovial eyes, mouth and nose with pen and ink, Santa's sled is made from one toothpick box from which the lid has been removed. A piece of toothpick is inserted through the box at each corner, and it then gets glued to a runner fash- ioned from two toothpicks glued together. In the dish filled with red vegetable coloring, dip a small square of cotton batting; this will serve as Santa's blanket. To make old Santa, himself, use half a marshmallow for the head. Place the marshmallow piece on the end of a toothpick, and stick the toothpick into the bot- tom of the sled at an angle. Snuggle the blanket up to Santa's "neck" and it won't be necessary to make a body for him. His hat is a cone of red paper, and his hair and beard are white cotton batting. Features are made with pen and ink. Kippen church ladies celebrate Christmas In Ontario in 1966. we pro- duced enough beef to make nearly two billion hamburgers.

Let about one-third of the toothpicks soak in each, then dry them all on paper towels. On an old piece of board about two feet long,. and a foot wide, place some crumpled paper towels in mounds, moistening them slightly if necessary to keep them in place. Next, cover with aluminum foil, molding the foil over the shape of the towels to create hills and valleys. Some slightly moist cotton batting goes over the foil. Spray your little countryside with artificial snow, and you have the beginnings of a Currier & Ives-type snow scene. With some of the red-dyed toothpicks, build the walls of the log cabin by making a square on the snow; on top of this square place another square that you've glued together—and make sure the two square pieces are firmly glued. Continue this process until the sides of the building are as high as you want them. The roof is made by cutting an index card until it's a little wider than the distance between two walls. Fold the card in half and you can already see a two- sided roof taking shape. Paint the roof with glue, and place blue-dyed toothpicks side-by- side on it until it's covered; then glue the roof to the top of the building—and you have a log cabin ready to adorn the top of a snowy hill. Place a small chim- ney, fashioned from paper or a bit of lump sugar, on the roof—and it's a cozy cottage! The jolly snowman is easy to make; the only chore will be to stop the whole family from making so many that the snowmen will screen off the rest of the ktt?..itr Santa pays visit to church group The evening unit of MainStreet UCW elected officers for 1968 at the meeting last Monday night.

Horti- culturists with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and Food state that it is essential for flower vases to be well cleaned before the new bouquet is placed in it. One major cause of flower wilt- ing is the presence of fungal rots that have been left in the vase from the last bouquet. The use of some of the chemical floral pre- servatives now on the market will help combat this rot problem. They generally contain a good fungicide along with other com- pounds beneficial to the plant's health. There are many old wives' tales which recommend the use of pennies, salt, sugar and vin- egar as additives to the water for preserving plants, but none of these materials have any value whatsoever. Always cut the stems of newly arrived flowers under water to aid in their uptake of water. Remove all the foliage from the stems below the water level. This makes arranging easier and reduces disease infestation. Change the water every two or three days; shorten the stems each time this is done. At night if a cool place of 40 to 50 degrees F is available store the flower arrangement there for greater flower life. With care, fresh material should last from one to two weeks de- pending on the type of flower. Once Year on Easter Sunday" was given by Mrs. R. Turner, Mrs. B. Faber and Mrs. R. Con- sitt. Mrs. R.
