I* THE ROANOKE RAPIDS H£*2£XD Carolina’* Patient Crowing CUy Phone R-326 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4th, 1947 PAGE 1 _ . ■——--■ Christmas Decoraiion Sug gestions: Have you already be gun to think of Christmas deco rations that would make your - home more beautiful for the '" Yuletide Season? Here are a few very simple, but lovely sugges tions made by the Home Man agement and House Furnishings Specialists of Extension Service: 1. Gum drop trees are always a novelty at Christmas time. Choose a thorn branch, or anoth er tree branch that may have many twigs. Paint it w'hite, gold or silver and decorate with gum drops - sticking them on the ■ thorns or twigs. Small red rib bons or candy canes may be added. 2. A pumpkin that has a bip red ribbon fastened to it and nestled in a wreath of ever green, with candles on each side makes a pretty centerpiece. 3. Popcorn and cranberry chains make a pretty mantel, Christmas tree or table decora * tion. These can be strung in a variety of ways in arrangemen of popcorn and berries. 4. Don’t throw away old Christ mas cards. Frame them oi show them off by “decking” th< mantel,piano or table with them They may also be suspended bi colored ribbon or yarn from tin mantel or inside door. 5. By using one’s own ingen uity, angels and jolly Santas can be made by the use of some of the following materials: marsh mallows, figs, raisins, currants, eggs (blown and faces applied), angel hair, yarn or curled paper for hair, popcorn balls-for head and body. 6. For Christmas tree “glitter glare,” a sparkle star of tooth picks and cork (round) in porcu pine fashion is painted and dus ted with snow while paint is wet. 7. Paint your gourds for deco ration. Pick ones with stems and necks nicely shaped. Saw off the ends to the size you like after they have dried. Guild, or paint red outside and green inside. Hang with a cluster and with evergreen swag at your door, wall or over living room mantel. 8. By using your favorite pot tery, crystal bowl or animals, attractive decoration can be planned around these, and they make a lovely Christmas center ; piece. 9. Cereal boxes covered with wall paper and filled with pine cones or nuts. Trimming may ea sily come from one’s own imag ination and ingenuity, and with these suggestions it is hoped you may combine your own ideas. The current magazines contain many beautiful and practical id eas on decorating the home for Christmas. Christmas Suggestions - Food Conservation, Marketing, Crafts: In this year of high prices and food shortage a most attractive and acceptable Christmas gift would be a choice jar of peaches, soup mixture, or if you feel very generous, one of those nice jars of tenderloin, attractively wrap ped with colored cellophane and tied with gala holiday ribbon. A piece of holly, mistletoe, or a branch of short leaf pine with tiny burs on it, tied in the bow, will add to the attractiveness of the package. Table and mantel piece deco rations of holly, mistletoe, ced ar or pine will give a festive tone to the home. A long full branch of either of these, tied with a red bow at the top, tacked on the outside of your door will greet your guests with the Christmas spirit. Beautiful wreaths for the windows, for our loved ones at the cemetary, or for sale on your local market can be made from evergreens that are avail able. Shape a wire coat hanger into a circle and attach the bran ches by tying them securely with a dark strong thread, or wire, that will not show. Evergreens that have pliable stems, as ivy, can be shaped without the coat hanger. A large red bow on one side will lend color and holida> spirit to the wreath. Ribbor bows are lovely for the wreaths to be used indoors. Red oilcloth cut in strips will be better tc use for bows on the wreaths tc be used out of doors. Branches of holly with rec berries, cedar with blue berries and long leaf pines with burs can be sold on your local curt market to people who will be having parties and for Christ mas decorations .during the month of December. These branches should be long and full. Be careful when you cut them, no1 to ruin your trees. 4-H Christmas Party: Halifax County 4-H Club members arc invited to attend a Christmas party on Wednesday night, Dec cember 10 in the basement oi the Halifax Education Building, 7:30 p. m. For the occasion the 4-H Club leaders are asking tha1 each person bring a gift costing 50 cents. We hope that a large number of club members will be able to attend this party be ing given especially for them.
