DEXTOX. TEXAS. RECORD-CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 15, 1937 Dressmaker for Santa Workshop Wanted; Dollies Needing Clothes Wanted: Dressmaker for Santa's Denton workshop. Short hours and no great skill demanded.

No pay except a great deal of thanks. Anyone interested call at the central lire station. That-is the call the firemen are making "We can sew up the dolls but can't make their doll clothes find someone to make them for us." they pleaded Wednesday morning. Wtili approximately 50 dolls remodeled and around 200 wagons, toy airplanes, automobiles and miscellaneous toys painted and refinished, the firemen plan to complete work on their present supply within a day or so, and they urge that anyone having toys to contribute briLg them in now. The work shop, which is located in the basement of the municipal building behind th? storage garage for the fire trucks, was a picture of hustling activity Wednesday as the firemen put finishing touches to a little green desk, a yellow-haired must remain clothesless unless a charitable woman volunteers to make it a numerous small mechanical toys which the firemen hope will make some child happy Chrismas morning.

They) were all painting, some rewiring doll legs, others sorting the usable toys from a stack which had not been worked over as yet. Even Snooks, the miniature mascot wire-haired puppy, was doing his part as he dragged one discarded doll after another back for the boy's inspection from the waste heap.

See W. T. DOGGETT GENERAL INSURANCE Wright, Building Phone Gil By MKS. ALEXANDER GEOK.GE Feature Service Writer Cherished recipes for holiday ccokics and confections are handed through generation in many families. Modern shops are full of alluring sweets but home-made goodies have a special Christmasy touch.

If you're going to make seme sweets your- se'f, begin at least two weeks ahead of the holiday season. Many delicacies need to "ripen" a little to be at their best. And not a lew boxes will have to be mailed. Candied Containers As soon as your confections and cookies are thoroughly cooled after cooking put them into airtight boxes and store them in the coldest par of the cupboard or pantry. (The refrigerator is usually too cold.) Candied grapefruits make tasty containers for confections.

Use the grapefruit'halves from which the pulp has been removed. "Wash them put them in a kettle and cover them with cold water, so it comes four inches above the level of the rinds. Add half a teaspoonlul of salt for each four cups of water. Cover the kettle and simmer the halves for an hour, changing the water three times to remove any bitter flavor. Then measure two cups of granulated sugar and one cup of water for each six halves.

Boil sugar and water together for three minutes and then put the rinds into this syrup. Simmer about 30 minutes or until the rinds are well candied. Remove the rinds and sprinkle them with granulated sugar. Let them cool, then heap them full with assorted confections. How To Salt Nuts Candied raisins, prunes, aprl- cots, dates and currants make fine fillers for box corners.

Prepare them by mixing two cups of granulated sugar, one cup of water and one teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Boil the ingredients together four minutes, then add two cups of fruit. Cook slowly until a fine thread forms when some of the syrup is poured from a spoon. Pour into a shallow pan and when slightly cool, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. You will need salted nuts for dividing lines or corner fillers in boxes.

Sprinkle a cup of blanched nuts in a thin layer over a shallow pan-. Add one tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Bake slowly and stir frequently wtih a fork until the nuts are evenly browned. (About 20 minutes.) Then sprinkle half a teaspoonful of salt over them and pour the nuts, while warm, onto a cloth. Wipe off surplus salt and fat.

Store them in air-tight jars. If they need refreshing later, heat them five minutes in a moderate oven. To blanch nuts, cover a cupful with booilng water. Put a lid over them and after five minutes, remove the brown skins with your fingers. Then dry them five minutes or so in a slow oven.

Flipping Mixlnres Stuff dates, prunes or figs with cream candies or fudges, peanut butter, cheese, toaster nuts, candied fruits or cocoanut. Then roll some in plain or toasted cocoanut, granulated or brown sugar or chopped nuts. Dip others in melted fondant or chocolate.
