BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service STAFF Writer

A S Christmas nears it's time to
L \ think about making Christmas
candies. Particularly fondant
which is better for a period of
ripening. There are many other
candies, too, to be made for Christ
mas boxes, delightful gifts from
our own kitchens.
There are certain precautions to
keep in mind when making candy
of any variety and perhaps brief
list of them will be helpful.
First. always have all the ingre-
dients and utensils at hand and
ready before beginning to cook the
sugar.
Second. do not let candy boil I'M
til the sugar is thoroughly dissolv-
ed Fondant is stirred until the
sugar is dissolved and the boiling
point is reached. After that do
not stir. All candies containing
milk must be stirred while boiling
TO prevent sticking and scOrching.
Stir slowly and use a wooden
spoon.
Wiping Down Crystals
Be sure to wipe down crystals
from the sides OF the pan when
making fondant. A pastry brush
dipped in water or q bit of clean
cheese cloth wrapped around the
tines of fork. dipped into water
and the excess pressed out. either
can be used. If the sauce pan is
covered for a few minutes Of the
time. the crystals should be wiped
down as soon as the cover is re-
moved. The wiping down should
be done before the candy starts TO
boil and frequently during the
cooking period.
Another precautiOn is 10 be sure
to let the candy cool before beat
ing il. This applies to all fine
grained candies such as fudge,
fondant and penouchi.
A rouHd-bottomed. aluminium
pan is best for cooking candies.
EOndant
Two cups graduated sugar. Is
teaspoon cream OF tartar few
grains salt, % cup boiling water.
Nix and sift sugar. cream OF tar
tar aud salt into a smooth sauce
pan. Add water and stir until
sugar is melted. Put over a low
hye and bring slowly to the boiling

BARD SCHOOL

The children of the first and

under the supervision of Miss
katherine Braucht have made plans
for helping Santa Claus this Christ
mas The spirit of giving and do
ing for others is being foStered
through a toy store unit in which
the children will make practical
gifts tor members OF the family
and friends. Such discarded mater
ials as boxes of all sizes, and shapes,
felt hats. inner tubes, spools, bak-
ing powder tins and even adobe
from bitches are being used to Gre
ate very sturdy and attractive ar
ticleS.
The other subjects are not being
neglected Reading is taken care Of
through cooperative stories, charts
listing things to do and make,
labelled toys, etc. For art work
some of the children are making
a large frieZe depicting a scene in
Toyland. Stories, poems, songs, and
pictures, are all helping to enrich
the reading and spoken VocabularieS
and experiences. We hope this unit
will instill an appreciation OF the
true meaning Of Christmas as we'll
as provide an opportunity for the
development of good social habits
through working with and for 9TH
ers. It should also provide for a
definite growth in knowledge, hab-
its, and skillS.

Of work has been a study Of Eslli-
mos and their homes. The entire
room read Eskimo Twins" Those
who finished first read and gave
class reports on other related read
ing materials. The children wrote
original poems to illustrate these
such as the following
The Eskimo can dive
The Eskimo can kill q bear
And still come out alive.
In an igloo in the north I live
I like the ice and snow
wrap up warm in o big soft fur
And let the north winds blow.
The fifth and sixth grades sold
candy two lunch periods and made
enough money to buy some mater
ials to decorate their room. A group
of pupils in the room are busy
making a world map on burlap US
ing different colored yarns TO show
various countries.
The seventh and eighth grades
use the Riggs books for Social
Studies work. The work now is on

without getting sordid. These
Ounce caps look sweet, foolish and
