Mark is a retired welder and keeps the family supplied with fruits and vegetables from his summer garden. Freezing and canning is a big summer project pro-ject in this home and they spend some time camping during dur-ing the summer. David is a machinist living in Taylors-ville. Taylors-ville. THIS BUSY person enjoys the warm friendships and activities acti-vities of the Golden Years Center. She enjoys the oil painting class and luncheons with friends there, and a few games of bridge. Try making interesting and festive containers from empty glass jars for the cookies and candies. A glass jar may be decorated de-corated like a Santa face, using felt. Cut a red felt triangle for a cap, put a white yarn tassel on the long point and glue the opposite side of triangle around the jar lid. Then cut a narrow strip of white felt to glue over the red cap on the lid as a band of fur. NEXT CUT small pieces of -felt for the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and white beard and glue on the side of the jar for a face. Cut a pair of small red mittens to glue under the beard. Finally glue a narrow red band around back of jar, just meeting the mittens and cut a narrow white piece of felt for the mitten cuffs. You can make a fun face by using your imagination to make clever containers. Bridge Winners The following are bridge winners from Thursday night's game at Bountiful Community Church.
