Gay and Festive Table dor Christmas
Well cooked food is essen-
tial but it's not enough to put
family and friends in a festive
mood, There's nothing that can
add more to your holiday feast
then a gay table.
Begin with your best white
cloth. Then with bits of ever-
green, bright Christmas balls
and candles you can create
your own centerpiece, Experi-
ment a little until you get just
the effect you want.
One simple arrangement can
be made by assembling four sal-
ad plates. They can be any
kind or odds and ends. It isn't
necessary for them to match be-
cause they won't show. Turn
an ordinary goblet upside down
on each plate. This will give
shape to your finished center-
piece and the base of the gob-
let serves for a convenient hold-
er for low squat red candles.
Make shiny silver Christmas
balls from aluminum foil. If
you want more color use with
them gold or brightly colored
foil. If you want more color
use with. them •gold or brightly
colored foil paper saved from
last year's Christmas wrappings.
Crush the foil in your hand un-
til it is all crinkled. Cut in
small squares and twist around
English walnuts, pecans ormar-
bles. Wrap the gathered up
ends of the paper with the fine
florists' wire and join several
together in small clusters.
Now arrange evergreens into
a small spray, Wire on a cluster
of balls, and tie to the stem of
each goblet with red ribbon.
Surround the base of each gob-
let with more evergreens, back-
ing up with them, until the
plate is entirely covered, and
the four units blend together as
one when placed in the centre
of the table. Dot here and
there for best effectiveness with
clusters of foil covered balls.
SNOWMEN PLACE CARDS
if you want to give the chil-
dren a real treat make fat snow-
men
nowmen for individual place decor-
ations.
Make a double batch of your
favorite cupcakes. For the
body you will need two nice
plump ones placed bottom to
bottom. They can be securely
Let us rejoice in the eternal wonder of Christmas.
•
\Xfo greet you with a
friendly note of thanks for
your good will and kincl patronage.

BRUSSELS
anchored with a pair of crossed
toothpicks. Give each snow,
man a thick overcoat of fluffy
seven -minute frosting. You can
do a beautiful job of icing this
plump little fellow if you
swirl it on with a teaspoon.
Then before the frosting hard-
ens top with a half a marsh-
mallow. This will serve as his
muffler.
Of course, Mr. Snowman
will need a head. This can be
made of a marshmallow, but
don't put the head on until you
have finished it. Into a whole
marshmallow place two whole
cloves, setting them wide
apart for eyes. Cut a red cin-
namon candy (red hot) in half
for his mouth. Divide the oth-
er half into quarters and use one
of the small pieces for his nose.
This gives him a very pert and
pleasing face, Anchor to the
cupcake body with a toothpick.
With a small piece of tooth-
pick peg on a thin two-inch
slice of candied pineapple for
his hat. Trim with a candied
red maraschino cherry as a ball
on top. Anchor three red cin-
namon candies in the frosting
down his front. This gives a
pretty button trim to his white
suit.
MINIATURE SANTAS
For individual place decor-
ations make miniature Santa
Clauses. Use a round apple for
the body, marshmallow head
with cloves and candies for
eyes, nose, and other features,
toothpicks, wooden skewers,
white absorbent cotton, a small
quantity of red crepe paper, a
bag of small gumdrops and glue..
Wrap a narrow strip of fluffy
cotton around lower half of each
apple. Fasten in place with
glue or scotch tape.
To make a face on the
marshmallow stick cloves for
eyes, and a sliver of candied
cherry for the mouth. Attach
marshmallow to top of apple
with a toothpick.
Wrap a slender piece of the
Broaden Scope of
Economic Council
Premier John Robarts hasan-
nounced the appointment of
William H. Cranston, 49, of
Midland, as new chairman of
the Ontario Economic Council.
Mr. Cranston succeeds Hon.
Stanley J. Randall, minister of
economics and development,
who resigned the chairmanship
of the province's economic and
advisory planning group inSept-
ember,
At the same time, Mr. Ro-
barts announced that the Coun-
cil will be expanded to work
closely with similar groups con-
nected with the federal and
other provincial governments.
With Ontario's population ex-
pected to increase by 4,000,000
to reach more than 10,000, 000
in 1986, Mr. Robarts said On-
tario's position as the leading
manufacturing province has to
be maintained.
Ontario, as the workshop of
Canada, is vitally concerned
'with all problems affecting
economic growth, particularly
in the light of shifting tariff
barriers and new international
'economic alliances, the prem-
ier said.
Recognizing this challenge
and the need for all of Canada
to work together, "the Ontario
Economic Council will work in
close co-operation with similar
economic planning groups
across Canada".
Born in Toronto, Mr. Cran-
ston moved to Midland in 1935,
He is executive vice-president
of the Shoe Corporation of Can-
ada which has plants at Bramp-
ton, Midland, Penetanguishene
and Tillsonburg in Ontario and
at Ste. Pie in Quebec. The
company has given him leave
of absence from operating
management to undertake the
responsibilities involved in the
chairmanship of the OEC.
Mr, Cranston is also chair-
man of Ontario's Archaeologi-
cal and Historic Sites Board.
Many of his responsibilities in
this field will be assumed by
the appointment of a joint
chairman of the board. The
appointment is for a three-year
term,
cotton around the neck and
stick on a fluffy long beard.
Use a bit of cotton fluff for hair
and waistcoat trim,
Two wooden skewers make
the legs. Slide small gumdrops
onto each until the space is
filled, then stick in proper po-
sition. Toothpicks are used for
the arms and filled with gum-
drops in the same way.
Finish, by glueing on a gay,
red, crepe paper cap.
Real Evergreen
Christmas Tree
Still Popular
When you visit friends at
Christmas time what is the first
thing you see? The Christmas
tree -- of course. You com-
ment to your host that he must
have developed his arm musc-
les wedging that four -inch pine
trunk into the tree holder, Or
you tell the wide-eyed child-
ren that their decorations have
never been prettier.
And all the time you think,
nostalgically perhaps, of Chris-
tmas trees you have known.
The tall skinny one that no arti-
ficial
rtificial transplant of bough could
camouflage; the short busy one
that aggressively took over one-
half of your small apartment
living room; the tree you help-
ed your father cut down in a
snowy forest; the tree that bore
tiny real candles proudly in a
little country schoolhouse; the
tree that had no decorations
but popcorn and cranberries
patiently threaded to a string.
You say to yourself: This is
a far cry from the plastic trees
of Christmas circa 1963. Now
trees are sophisticated: they
are pink, gold, pale blue,
white, sprayed all colors of the
rainbow.
But suddenly you are a cynic
no longer. You look at your
friend's tree and see it is much
like yours. It is a real ever-
green. Some of the decora-
tions have obviously been in the
family for years. The lights
are lovely, all soft reds and
blues, and what does it matter
if the color is coming off the
bulbs? The children of the
house have shaped paper into
Santas and gingerbread men,
angels and woolly sheep, snow-
men and sleighs -- just as your
children have been doing.
And there is the Star of Beth-
lehem on top. It is an electric
light surrounded by metal but
to the young at heart, it brings
Bethlehem into the living room.
