Christmas Candies
Children Cay Make
Is the holiday season a "family
time" in your home? If you've
ever tried making it so, you'll
know that the hours spent work-
ing and playing together were well
worth the effort. -
It's a busy time of year, but in
your desire to get things done, try
not to make the mistake of push-
ing aside childish eagerness to
help. Instead, this year why not
let their willing, though perhaps
clumsy little hands take over some
of the Christmas candy making?
The following simple candy re-
cipes have been chosen with the
children in mind. With you stand-
ing by to guide their p.>iogress,
they'll have no difficulty in carry-
ing out the directiohs . . . and
you'll share their pride of accom-
plishment when you hear them
saying shyly to your guests: "I
made those!"
Popcorn Tree
A gay Popcorn Christmas Tree
will be just the thing to use as a
table centrepiece or mantel decor-
ation. You'll need about 2 quarts
of popped corn, 3/4 pound of fresh
marshmallows and 1/4 cup of but-
ter, with some tiny colored can-
dies for decorating the tree. A red
gumdrop looks festive on the'top.
Snip up the marshmallows in
top of double boiler and melt with
the butter over hot water, Stir I
well. Place the popcorn on a
large sheet of waxed paper and
pour about half the melted marsh-
mallow' mixture over the popcorn.
Mix well and mould into a bushy,
plump Christmas tree. (The shap- �
ing job will be easier if hands are
moisten.ed .slightly with water),I
Reheat the remaining marshmal-
low mixture ever hot water and
dribble it over the surface of the
tree. Decorate to lock like a
Christmas tree, by placing tiny
colored candies here and there on
the sticky parts, and set the tree
on a plate covered with a. colored
paper doily.
Fondant
For this delicious Fondant you'll
need one-half cup hot, well mash-
ed or riced potatoes, 1 tablespoon
butter, IA to 1/2 teaspoon almond
flavoring and about 3 cups icing
sugar. Beat butter and hot pota-
toes together until light. Add flav-
oring, then icing sugar in small
quantities, working in thoroughly
with fingers, until the fondant may
be kneaded on a board and form -1
ed into small balls or other shapes.
Walnut Creams—Place medium-
sized ball of fondant between two
walnut halves and press together.
Peppermint Creams—Substitute
vanilla flavoring for almond in
fondant recipe. Divide fondant in,
two. To one half add 3 or 4 drops
peppermint flavoring and a few I
drops of green coloring, kneading!
well until smooth and evenly tint-
ed. Shape into a roll about 1/2 -inch
in diameter. Roll out white half
and wrap it firmly around the'
green. Chill thoroughly and slice.
No -Cook Peanut Butter Fudge—
Biend 1 cup homogenized peanut
butter with 1 cup corn syrup in a
large bowl. Add 11/4 cups pow-
dered skim milk and 11/4 cups sift-
ed icing sugar and mix together.
Turn onto board and knead until
mixture is well blended and
smooth. With rolling pin, roll to
one-half inch thickness. Cut into
squares. Chill.
Popped Wheat Squares -Ta crisp,
place 4 cups popped wheat in shal-
low baking pan in hot oven (400
"I' -,deg. F.) for about three minutes.
While popped wheat is crisping,
mix. % cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup
butter, I/a cup corn syrup, and a
few grains salt together in sauce-
pan. Bring to a..rolling boil and
boil one minute, stirring constant-
ly. Pour hot mixture over popped
' 'wheat and stir until wheat. is well
coated. Press mixture into a
greased pan about 8 inches by 8
inches. To serve, cut into 25
squares.
Sometimes Christmas is written
Xmas because "X" is the Greek
equivalent of "eh" and stands for
the word "Christ".

Gar Smith began In the garage
business long before the day of
sleek, expansive service stations.
In those days, however, as is still
the case, the service rendered,
the confidence of the motoring
public was the measure of a suc-
cessfully operated garage. And so
it was that Mr. Smith soon had
erected the buildings on both the
east and west side of the county
road at the intersection of No. 8
Highway in Dublin. He operated
a successful business until mov-
ing to Seaforth. The building
