for the fine home made candy that Mrs.
Donald s. Ashbrook nrd her corps of
friends and expert" confectionery makers
have made IN the past two months, the
proceeds of the sale Of which have gone
to the Home for Merciful Rest, that MrS.
Ashbrook has sent out an s. q. s. call
for a reunion of these caudyrnakers in
order to pldase the friends who have
patronized the sales and make Christmas
candy.
There will be the usual delicious con-
fections made from brown sugar, and salt
cd nuts and stuffed dates that have made
Mrs. Ashbrook' confections in such de-
mand.
Those who want some Of the candy
should telephone 326 until December 81

made these workers feel encouraged is
the fact that local candy manufacturers
have helped them out by sparfng the

make the candy. when that article was
