you may belong to, as a member of your neighborhood you have an equal right with every other person to make Iull use or your civic club house
 Neighborhood civic clubs offer the Opportunity for broadening acquaint- ance.
 It is an outlet for ideas upon mat ters of neighborhood importance im- IroYement or city government It gives you chance to make suggestions, ex- press ideas and offer criticism--as well as to hear the opinions of others
 Through this neighborhood civic club house the real government of the city can find chance to express itself
 We can now begin--all that is neces- sary to start is the signed request of citizens in any neighborhood
 keen observer of public affairs writes: :" For generations the school houses have been monuments of nes- lected opportunities; the policy of clos ing them to the people outside school hours has retarded the development of that higher type of citizenship which makes for better government"
 If your neighborhood is not using it's public school building as civic club house, you are not getting your moneys worth out of your own property.

wider use of the public school building as a social center that such develop ment is possible. We quote the words of a man in one of the centers Tn Rochester: Wont 1t be homelike @ when other cities take up this idea?" One will always know that there is a friendly and interesting place not far away where he can spend an evening, place where class and race lines don't count, where people are just folks, meeting on common ground in the com non interest"
 In 8 little pamphlet devoted to social and civic centers, the following sug- gestions are made on how to begin
 The building should be known as a neighborhood civic club house for adult gatherings.
 Application to the secretary of the school board should be made, stating the number of evenings or Sunday aft ernoons required.
 The object should be the develop r1ent of intelligent public spirit by tho open presentation of free discussion of public questions, or some other form of wholesome civic and social activity
 No matter what other club or society

Lemon Creams and Pendant
By Marion lIdisand

T spend much of my time in making chocolate creams. but I only know how to make vanilla creams. How can I make lemon. orange and chocolate fondant for dipping, and should I use milk or bitter chocolate for 1t? I should be thankful if you would please answer this little note as soon as possible. I wish to make some Saturday. L. M N" It was not practicable to meet your wishes as to time. In the hope that the request may hold over indefinitely, I re- spond with recipes:
 Lemon or vanilla creams: Beat the white of an egg light with a teaspoon of lemon or vanilla extract and enough con- fectioners sugar to make mixture stiff enough to be handled with ease. Dust your fingers with corn starch and make into small balls. Lay each as it is made
 upon dish lined with confectioner's sugar. As they grow firm roll them dex- terously over in this Then spread-not touching ane another-upon waxed paper until they are cold and stiff
 Fondant-Stir into a cup and one-half of
 boiling water a pound of granuated sugar. Do not stir after the sugar is dis solved. Boil five minutes and dip a fork into 1t no wand then. When the syrup
 spins thread drop a little into iced water and if 1t becomes brittle turn 1t out upon a buttered dish. Do not stir the sugar while 1t is boiling or scrape 1t away from the sides of the pan or 1t VIII granulate. But when the sugar in the dish is blood warm stir 1t with a silver or wooden spoon until it begins to crum- ple. It should be of the consistency that enables you to knead it like dough while It IS lukewarm. Pack 1t away in a bowl. cover with slightly mostened cloth to keep it from drying out. and set aside until 1t is needed Wrap nuts or cara mels in it. rolling between the palms.
