Read to your Children For young children, books that rhyme and have rhythm are excellent. Be sure to read Mother Goose Rhymes often. You will find your child learning the words or words that SOUND like those from the book, and saying them back to you. You might be tired of reading that book for the 50th time but your child loves to spend time with you this way. Books with few words and bright pictures are also great to keep his/her attention. Elaborate on other things on the page too.

Take advantage of great Scholastic books and book club prices. Orders can be made online and shipped to CDC for pickup. Go to

Units Can Win

Extra Unit Funds Just in Time

for the Holidays

CHRISTMAS TREE LANE

Plant an artificial tree on Christmas Tree Lane,

Theme It and Decorate it for the

Holiday Season. Trees will come to life along with

the official USAG-Humphreys Holiday Tree and will celebrate the Community Holiday Spirit

through the New Year. The five Best Themed & Decorated Trees

will receive extra Unit Funds in the amount of $500, $250, $125, $75 and

$50. Funds will be credited to Unit Fund accounts no later than December 10 so they are available for Holiday Parties.

Family Readiness Groups can represent Units in the contest, but funds can only be credited to the Unit. Private organizations,

Youth Groups, Scouts, Korean Employees Union & other groups in the Community are more than

welcome to participate, but only units can win the prize money. Each participant will be provided a 2-inch pipe in which to plant their tree and a 110 outlet to plug

it in. Trees should be in the 6-foot or above range, and all lights and extension cords must be UL Rated for outdoor use (pre-lighted trees are not usually rated for outdoor display). Participants must provide their own tree, lights, decorations

and extension cords. Reserve a spot by calling 754-8257/6545.

Marshmallow Snowmen

Directions1. Line a large baking sheet with foil; butter the foil. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat and stir over medium-low heat until mixture is melted and smooth.

2. Using kitchen scissors, cut one-third of the marshmallows in half cross-wise.* Place each marshmallow half, sticky side down, on top of a whole marshmallow. Press together gently. If necessary, spread a small amount of marshmallow creme between the marshmallow pieces to hold them together. For arms, insert a pretzel stick into two opposite sides of each whole marsh-mallow.

3. Dip bottom third of each of the marshmallow stacks into melted caramel mixture. Allow excess to drip off. Place dipped marshmallows on prepared baking sheet.

4. Place pistachios, coconut, toffee pieces, and/or nonpareils in separate small bowls. In another small saucepan, combine chocolate and shortening. Heat and stir chocolate mixture over low heat until melted and smooth.

5. Dip each caramel-coated marshmallow stack in melted chocolate, cover-ing the bottom of stack with chocolate. Allow excess to drip off. Immediately dip chocolate-covered marshmallow in pistachios, coconut, toffee bits, and/or nonpareils. Return marshmallow stack to baking sheet. Let stand about 30 minutes or until chocolate sets.

6. Re-melt chocolate in saucepan over low heat, if necessary. Place snowmen on their backs. To make eyes and buttons, dip one end of a remaining pretzel stick into melted chocolate and dab chocolate onto snowmen. For a nose, dab on some chocolate and attach a small orange-color candy. Let stand about 5 minutes more or until dry. Makes about 26 snowmen.

*Test Kitchen Tip: If your kitchen scissors get sticky when cutting marshmal-lows, coat them with nonstick cooking spray or dip them in hot water.

TO STORE: Layer snowmen between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Ingredients12 vanilla caramels, unwrapped (one-fourth of a 14-ounce package) 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 2 tablespoons butter 1 10-ounce bag marshmallows (about 39) Marshmallow creme (optional) 53 pretzel sticks 1 cup chopped pistachios, toasted coconut, toffee pieces, and/or 1/3 cup nonpareils 4 ounces bittersweet, semisweet, or milk chocolate pieces 2 teaspoons shortening Orange-color miniature candy-coated semisweet chocolate pieces or other tiny round candies
