What's
COOKING!
BY-PAT JACKSON

DA-EAA JhShoON
Christmas candles add a gayl
note to your holiday decorations
Make them for gifts. It's an ideal
gift for a neighbor, shopkeeperI
or Juniors teacher.
You'll need household paraf-
fin, all-purpose dyes, heavy
cord, and items for molds: milk
cartons, fruits juice cans, small
sHad molds, giant brandy sniff
ers and so on. Gay decorations
may adorn your candles. BrokenI
pearls, sequins, glitter, whipped
wax, bits Of holly, Christmas
seals, metallic cord, or whatever
your imagination suggests may
be used to trim your candles. i
Here are directions for making
the candles: Punch a hole in
large molds in the center of the
bCttom. Make the hole no larger
tifan the cord. Run cord through
the hole up through the mold
and tie the end to Il pencil or
stick. Lay the pencil across the
top of the mold, then turn the
mold over and pull tho cord taut.
Cut the cord and secure the end
to bottom with adhesive or cello
phane tape. To insert a wick in
little candles, cut the cord an
inch longer than depth of the
colds, dip in hot colored paraf-I
fin and set aside to dry.
Melt paraffin in q double boil
er or in coffee can set in a pan
of hot water. (Never melt paraf=
fin over direct hcat.) Allow IA
pounds for a milk carton; l.
pound for three OF juice con-
centrate cans or 5. small salad
molds; TX pounds for a medium
size brandy Sniftcr. Add 2 tsp. of
all-purpose dye per pound and
tnove from boiling water. Stir
thoroughly from 3 20 5 minutes.
Let stand few minutes to cool,
and pour slowly into the mold.
When wax of small candles be-
gins to Stiffen, push wicks into
center.
Because of the density of wax,
lighter all-purpose dye colors are
recommended, such as coral,
light green and blue, yellow
orchid, and chartreuse Since the
aye is primarily vater-soluble,
some of the dye ingredients will
not dissolve but will settle to the
bottom of the melted wax.
To unmold candles, remove
tape from the bottom of the
molds. Peel off paper, Invert
small metal mods and gently
tap. Dip larger metal moldS
quickly in hot water to loosen,
then shake out candle in hand.
Metal forms will be easier to
unmold if lightly oiled before
filled with wax.
To make whipped wax for
decoration, allow plain or color
ed melted wax to cool until film
forms over top. Whip gently
with fork until il is a thick
frosting-like consistency. Apply
quickly TO candle. 1; it becomes
firm, 1t can be melted down and
whipped again. Gems, glitter,
ond other decorations can be.
applied while the whipped wax
is still soft or glued On later with
household cement. For special
color schemes, store bought.
candles can be stunningly decor
ated with colored whipped wax
and glitter for year-round use.
Special effects may be added
too, to containers, such as glass
jars. Make the outline Of a
Christmas motif-star. poinset-
pa, or candle. Coat it with ad-
hesive and then sprinkle over
the area. These are especially
nice for gifts. You may also use
initials as a motif for a glass.
These may be made with colored
tape or glitter dust.

JUNIOR BOARD
PLANS FOLLIES
Kent General Hospital Junior
Board Sets Goal of
$4,000 This Year
TO REMODEL KITCHEN

Plans are now under way for
the Junior Board Follies of 1857
to be presented October Is and
10, with Sarah De Marie as gen.
eral chairman. This year the
group mas set a goal of $4,000
to be given to Kent General Hos
pital to complete the remodeling
of the hospital kitchen. Last year
the Junior Board -Follies raised
$1,000 toward the project of re-
modelling the hospital kitchen and
another $1,000 has been contri-
buted from the Junior Board gen.
eral funds. Preliminary surveys
indicate that a total OF S11 900 to
$4,000 will be required to expand
and improve the present facilities.
This will be spent largely on con-
struction changes in the kitchen
area with not too great an in
vestment necessary in new equip
ment. Radical changes in the
kitchen incur a problem found
whenever alterations are made in
any part of the hospital. There
are no free weekends or holidays
when activities cease. The hospit-
al functions seven days a week
throughout the year and services
cannot be interrupted. In 1856,
Kent General Hospital prepared
126,000 meals. Mealtime for the
hospital patient is looked forward
to as a pleasant break in what is
often a dull day and the serving
of attractive trays demands train
ed personnel. Pleasant working

TRACES GROWTH

DIR. Paul Mitchum, director of

vance of Chemical Progress Week
IN a talk on the contributions of
chemistry to modern living at the
Smyrna Lions Club Monday night.
He traced the changes and
growth in industry in the past
thirty years, and spoke of the
concern for the training of more
scientists. However, he urged
keeping our perspective and to
realize that the behavior of peo-
pie cannot be solved by scientists.
He advocated urging children to
take science, but not to force
them, saying that a skill in math-
ematics is essential; and noted
that scholarships and fellowships
are available. Man has increased
the production of more useful
articles for living, but have also
developed powerful means of de-
struction, he said. Touching on
the moral problem started with
the decision to drop the atomic
bomb, he asked if knowledge of
science is going to be used for
