Shop at home THE WORK OF THE WI — When members of the WI in this part of Huron County got together in Clinton Thursday in the board room of the Department of Agriculture and Food it was not a social engagement. It was a work session first and foremost, and the main topic of discussion was the functions of the WI as an organization. On hand to direct the proceedings was Mrs. M. Pardy, Mount I'm all set now for YOur questions concerning how to remove Stains frorn all kinds of fabrics and substances. Last `Thursday I dropped into the Department of Agriculture and. Food in Clinton and picked up a booklet entitled "Spot and Stain. Removal." It contains a wealth of valuable information for the ordinary housewife who doesn't know a thing about chemistry but has to dissolve everything from rust on a linen tablecloth to alfalfa stains On Johnny's jeans, A phone call to this office will set me scurrying through my file if you have a stubborn stain or spot to get rid of, * * One Tea 'n Topics reader has asked that our squad of good cooks go to work to dig out a recipe for gum drop squares. I've looked through the T-A files, but have uncovered nothing. I can remember that my mother used to make a gun) drop cake and it is possible I 'have that recipe at home in my recipe box — but that won't answer the problem of gum drop squares. They sound good. Won't someone please write or phone if there is a recipe for these goodies? * * * Please, ladies, I'm in need of good Christmas recipes, for our weekly Christmas Recipe Box. (Incidentally, I hope you have been enjoying this feature.) Surely there are some recipes out there for Christmas cookies, Christmas cakes (what about a good unbaked Christmas cake recipe), Christmas salads and menu ideas for Christmas parties. By the way, has anyone instructions for making a Christmas punch (the non-alcoholic variety, please)? Came across this recipe in the mail Monday morning. It sounds seasonal with spicy mincemeat as the base. I thought I'd try it out on my family. Why not join me? Mincemeat Tarts 3 tablespoons corn oil 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 cup mincemeat 1 egg, beaten 'A teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 12 unbaked tart shells Combine ingredients, mix well. Fill tart tins 2/3 full. Bake -on lowest rack in hot oven, 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and •continue baking for 15 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes and remove from tins. I'm hoping you are the kind of women who like to make Christmas decorations, for I have some notes on fashioning a few which are inexpensive, simple to do and very pretty to boot. Ready? EGGSHELL BASKETS Charming Christmas tree ornaments with a European, hand-crafted look can be made with empty eggshells . . . plus a little nimbleness. However, it's worth waiting until a few shells have been accumulated from holiday baking, thereby allowing for possible breakages. The edge of the shell can be trimmed smooth with scissors; then bound with narrow gift tape or ribbon. The same tape, strung across the top of the shell, will quickly turn it into a dainty baskets, now ready for decorating. Try dotting the shell with liquid cement. While the glue is still wet, sprinkle the shell liberally with glitter, and achieve sparkling Polka-dot effect. The glitter can be bought in all eolors at the dime store or hobby shop at this time of the year, and you'll find lots of Uses for it once YOu see its alrnost-Magical effect. It's wise to spread a paper When You're using glitter, thus patching the overflow which you can use again. These dainty baskets are just the thing, to hang on a miniature tree or table centre. They can be used "as is", or filled with nuts and candies, After Christmas, they can be safely stored away in the empty egg carton until, another Christmas rolls 'round. * STAR BRIG HT A dab of glue and a squirt of spray quickly transform six ordinary paper drinking straws into giant, glistening stars, The first step is to make two equal-sided triangles. Each one will take three straws. The tips of the straws are bonded together with clear cement. Then one triangle is placed over the other, star-wise, and glued at the touching points. Once the glue is set, the star is ready for quick, all-around spraying with gold or silver spray. And to make it really twinkle, sprinkle with glitter or sequins before the spray dries. These stars are particularly effective hung at the window, thereby providing both indoor and outdoor decorating interest. Their size, of course, can be varied by shortening the straws. They're so simple to make, you may decide to make a milky way! * * * - PINE CONES Pine cones can be used in so many ways around Christmas time that it's a good idea to have a supply of them on hand. They can be used in their natural state, or they can be given a different texture and a more lively look by spraying them with gold or silver spray. A neat trick is to slip a plastic bag over your hand to protect it while you hold the cone by the stem and slowly rotate it, while you spray. And to make the cones really glisten, dip the edges in glitter, while they're still wet with spray. The cones are then-ready to hang on the tree, or better still, arranged as a welcoming door ornament. The cones will look better in clusters for this purpose, and this is easy to achieve with fine wire. Then they are strung on red satin ribbon to form a graceful cascade for the front door. * * * Had a phone call during the weekend that TOPS queen Mrs. Leo Gibson from Dashwood was not the yearly queen last year. Last year's winner was Mrs. Helen Wells, Exeter. Mrs. Gibson was last year's three month queen. By the way, congratulations to all the winners. Special congrats should go to the press reporter (we'll keep her name a secret) who trys to make her stories just a little more interesting than normal. We appreciate that. 4-H HOMEMAKING REPORT The last meeting of the Hurondale Kottonettes was held Nov. 18 at the home of Mrs. H. Dougall with the girls' mothers in attendance.
