Wrapping Center

Wrapping Center
Couldn't you finish wrapping your
Christmas packages with less time,
effort and disorder, if you had a
wrapping center?
Instead of running to the attic for
a bow, the kitchen for a piece of
string, the sewing room for scissors
and so on, why not assemble all the
materials in n convenient place
for the whole family's use. This CEN
ter may be a shelf counter or table.
A spare bedroom or even a corner
of a clean, heated basement OF gar
age may be a good location, especial
lily for packing in excelsior or other
littery material. z
Equipment for a home center may
include: string, strong cord, ribbon
and tape; corrugated paper, heavy
wrapping paper, tissue and fancy
paper, pile Of boxes, cards and gum
med labels, pen, ink, and blotter,
scissors, shears and knife; ruler and
eraser; clean cloth for wiping hands
address book; and last but not least
a good light and a chair of comfor-
table height for the table level.
Many families have a permanent
wrapping center where they collect
good leftover paper and other wrap
ping materials that may be reused
at any time of the year.
Why not try this ice box fruitcake
recipe for one of your Christmas
sweets. Recipe follows:
liz pound graham crackers, 2 cups
chopped pecans, 10e can pet or car
nation milk (whipped), " pound
melted marshmallows or l jar of
marshmallow cream, l box raisens,
l teaspoon cinnamon, l teaspoon of
nutmeg, l teaspoon all spice, can
died fruit, Y cup pineapple or what
ever juice you have if needed.
Grease pan, put in heavy creased
paper. Pour in cake mixture. Put
in ice box for "a hours. CMixture
will be stiff. Don't put in too much
juices.
