THE BROOMBALL MEETING (Cont'd from Page 8) Small Room of the Rec. Centre. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, BE THERES? For the past two seasons, teams have been picked up at random, so that anyone interested can make an entry. IF YOUR WANT TO GET BROOMBALL STARTED, FORM A TEAM AND ATTEND THE MEETING, BUY LOCALLY (Cont'd from Page 1) every dollar finds its way back in the spen- der's pocket again, and the whole town enjoys an extra notch of prosperity. Large mail order houses such as Eaton's and Simpsonts (to mention the names of only two) gulp hundreds of thousands of dollars every year from Terrace pay cheques, and yet they spend not one red cent in our town. They own no property whatsoever, they hire no people, and they advertise not one cent'*s worth here. The argument that many homemakers put up that they just can't get the things you want in town, does hold water to a certain extent, but it is fast becoming obsolete as our local businesses strive to carry more varied selec- tions and a broader range of goods. They can do this, however, only as long as they receive the patronage of Terrace shoppers. Is there not more satisfaction in being able to inspect goods before the sale and in having them when they are needed and not a week later? Is it not discouraging and in- convenient to find the goods a disappoint- ment in colour or size, and then to face the task of rewrapping them to send back for another interminable wait? How many, too, have found their monthly accounts both far behind and confused? Letts get a little town spirit going for us and for our local businesses? Let us help make Terrace Bay a good town to shop in, too! COMMUNITY CHURCH BAZAAK (Cont'd from Pg. 7) had their own table with homemade candy, Nativity figurines and Hasti Notes. A bowl of gilded fruit flanked by gold tapers centred the lace covered tea table and Mrs. D.F. Muldrew and Mrs. T.G. Husser poured tea during the afternoon. Tea convenor was Mrs. A. Farrow assisted by Mesdames N, Crand- lemire, A. Erickson, J. Dodge and B. Sweet. Mrs. J. Hall was in charge of the tickets. : Individual tea tables were gay with Christmas ornaments and greens and members of the Girl Guides and C.G.I.T. assisted in serving the delectable jellied salads and fruit breads. The C.G.I.T. were responsible for the hall decorations and a lighted Christmas tree of pine cones was resplendent atop the piano. Wilma Chadney has had her sister, Edith Townsend of Winnipeg visiting her this past week, The Jack Littles visited with old friends, Mr. & Mrs. J..Keegan, last weekend in Sault Ste. Marie when they went to see their son Billy of the Oshawa Generals play against the Sault Greyhounds. Billy scored 1 goal and 2 assists during the game. NEWS November 26, 1964 CONSUMERS URGED TO CHECK KLIK CANS As a precautionary measure, approximately 2,000 cases of KLIK Luncheon Meat have been recalled by Canada Packers Limited. The Com- pany said this safety measure has been taken , because spice units, supplied to the Company and used in the production of these cases at one plant, contained less than normal quan- tities of one of the curing ingredients. Mr. W.W. Lasby, General Manager of Canada Packers Limited, said, "The effect of a smaller than normal quantity of this curing ingredient has not been clearly established by food scientists. KLIK is cooked during the canning process, however, curing ingre- dients are added in the spice mixture to as- sure its long-term keeping qualities. "Extensive tests have been undertaken by the Company with the co-operation of scien- tific consultants and the Food and Drug Direc torate of the Department of National Health and Welfare. The best scientific opinion in- dicates that the risk of impaired keeping qualities is small, but may exist. Therefore there is a small chance that the product could deteriorate and might then cause seri- ous illness if eaten. Under these circums- tances, we must, of course, try to recover all of the product." All of this product was distributed in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. Company officials said all KLIK presently on retailers' shelves has been carefully checked by Company employees to ensure that it is not from the lots in question, NATIVITY SCENE SUITABLE FO PHOTOGRAPHIC TREATMEN No season of the year seems more appropriate for the burning of candles than does the Christmas season. In this article, the sixth in a series of seven on candle making, instructions are given for creating the nativity scene pictured above. Here the imagination and creativity of you and your family can be used to the full to achieve striking and original effects. The scene, with the manger and small figures of people and animals is set in a shadow: box -- that is, a shallow box set on its side with a frame around it. Straw place mats or straw matting is used for floor and background covering. Materials and utensils needed will be basic candle making equipment, plus several tubes from foil or wax paper rolls. Reinforce these with tape in a number of places along their lengths to prevent sagging when the hot wax is poured into them, swab well with oil and set aside to drain. You will also need a large tray, or platter for the base, two pieces of wicking four inches longer than the tubes, a metal wick holder and pine branches for decoration. Cover your work area with newspapers then melt two pounds of paraffin wax in the double boiler, adding coloring as it melts. If two shades of blue are desired, add only enough coloring to produce the lighter shade for the first candle. Pour this candle then add more coloring to produce a darker shade for the second one. Place the tube mould on a foil plate and press a plasticine seal completely around the lower rim. Remove the mould, centre a threaded wick stand in the circle on a small piece of plasticine. Replace the mould and draw the wick up through it, over a wick bar set in two V's and hold the centred wick in place with a rubber band. You are now ready to pour. Pour in one half inch of wax. Allow to: set, but not harden, then slowly fill mould. Make sure a positive seal is formed by your rim of plasticine. Puncture air holes and refill as needed. Let candles stand eight to twelve hours before removing from mould. 3 Pour base into oiled tray, or platter using a dark grey wax to contrast with the blue candles. Position candles in base while wax is still warm, and finish by setting" pine branches of appropriate size around them. If a member of the family is adept at taking photographs, have him take pictures of the nativity scene and use them for personalized Christmas cards.
