sence of snow as the Christmas
season approaches.
Knitted into this story is a ro-
mantic story about two sisters,
who are also performers, who join
the show and fall for the two guys.
Eventually it all works out, amid
the backdrop of some of Berlin’s
best holiday songs, including “Sis-
ters,” “Snow,” “Gee! I Wish I Was
Back in the Army,” “Count Your
Blessings,” and “Love, You Didn’t
Do Right By Me.” There are sev-
eral lively dance numbers, too.
White Christmas has, through
the years, become a holiday clas
sic that is shown on television dur-
ing the season and is available for
video rentals.
CLIFTEX Theatre manager
Melanie Milbradt commented that
this might be the last opportunity
for theatre-goers to witness this
remarkable film on the big movie
screen, as prints of the movie are
few and seldom do studios allow
theatres to go into the vaults to re-
trieve classics such as this.
“We feel we were lucky to get it,”
she said. “Seeing it the way it was
released should be a memorable
event.”

Prior to the class. Sales, and her
full of a variety of candies, pretzels,
and other items such as small
Christmas trees, for the class to use
in decorating the houses
In decorating, first icing is
spread thinly on a portion of the
house, then candies or other deco-
rations are used as each person
decides what he wants the houae
to look like
In the end, each house was as
different as the people decorating
them
Members of the class were
given several recipes for their use
in producing gingerbread houses
and gingerbread at home.
The recipe for Royal Icing is as
follows:
4 cups (1 lb.) powdered sugar.
2 large egg whites.
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar.
3-4 tsp. warm water
Blend all ingredients on low
speed to mix, then high speed for
8-10 minutes or until the mixture
holds stiff peaks
Sales said that many grocery
stores carry the gingerbread
house pieces in sets, but she sup
plied a recipe to use if one wants
to try and make a gingerbread
house from scratch, at home.
First one must have pattern
pieces for the four sides and the
roof of the house. These can be
made out of card board or paper
w the following i
Gingerbread
Preheat oven to 271*
In a large pot over low heat,
melt: one cup each, vegetable
shortening, granulated sugar, and
dark molasses
Remove from heat and mix in:
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (OR
tsp ground ginger and l tsp
ground nutmug).
Stir in 4 W cups sifted all purpose
flour, one cup at a time
Knead until smooth
Farm dough into short log and
divide into three pieces Work with
one piece at a time ami wrap the
"ther pieces in plastic wrap to
luep moist.
Roll out dough on the back of a
cookie sheet to 1/8 to 3/8-inch
thickness Cut out shapes using
pattern pieces with a knife or
Exacto knife. Remove excess
dough from the cookie sheet and
cover to keep moist.
Dough will spread a bit while
baking so leave about 1/2-inch be-
tween pieces.
Bake pieces for about 10 min-
utes or until you can touch dough
without making an imprint.
Trim pieces while still warm if
they spread too much. Remove
from the cookie sheet when cooled
and place on rack.
Sales directed everyone, during
the class, to decorate the house
first, then the “yard" area around
the house.
She also told everyone to take
time while decorating the houses
and to “have fun.”

ments, a deficit is inevitable.
“You just didn’t want to shock us
later on,” Pet. 2 Commissioner
Durwood Koonsman said in
Gephart’s defense for the funding
request.
“I still think it’s a little prema
ture to take any action on this un-
til you see how much you’re really
going to need,” Judge Conrad
said. The court agreed, and took
no action on the request.
Courthouse Wiring
Judge Conrad noted a change
order filed by Architexas regard
ing ongoing remodeling work at
the courthouse. The architectural
firm is seeking an additional
$20,848.71 for electrical wiring
renovations at the site.
“They are doing something that
should nave been done in the origi-
nal contract, ’ Judge Conrad told the
court members. Conrad said the
architect’s original plans called for
leaving some the 1920s-dated elec-
trical wiring intact and in use, but
found that it was not feasible. The
intent of the county was to eliminate
all outdated wiring from the begin-
ning, the judge added.
“I told them that this should not
be a change order, but should be
taken out of their contingencies
line,” Judge Conrad told the court,
since the change order not only
would increase the final cost of the
project but also the commissioner
drawn by Architexas.
Pet. 4 Commissioner Jim Burch
agreed, saying that if the contin-
gencies budget line is used up be-
fore the remodeling project is
completed, then the county can
address the issue further
Miscellany
A preliminary plat for the Gill
Estates subdivision, located in
Precinct 1, was approved by the
court. A final plat is expected to be
considered for approval at the next
court meeting.
A resolution supporting the
court’s efforts to obtain grant fund-
ing for local implementation of the
state’s Ffcir Defense Act was ap-
proved by the court. The county is
hoping to get funding from the
state to help pay for indigent legal
representation.
The court approved payments of
claims, salaries, and wages
against county and precinct funds,
and approved line item transfers
as presented.
McLennan Community College
journalism instructor Don Fisher
introduced himself to the court,
and noted that about a dozen of his
students were also in attendance
The students were learning how to
observe such meetings and report
on them as part of their journal-
ism training.
The next meeting of the court is
set for Monday, Dec. 9, at 9 a.m., in
the Bosque County Courthouse in
Meridian.
