Section Two Eight Pages i The Voice of the Beef Empire"-North-Central Nebraska's BIGGEST Newspaper Volume 80—Number 24 O'Neill, Holt County, Nebraska, Thursday, October 6, 1960 Seven Cents .„ Mrs. Ralph Rees, Med Hobbies Hardly a bride in southern Holt County and many other places in side tin.' state find out. who does n’t know Mrs. Ralph Rees of Amelia. Whetlier the bride be only in the contemplative stage or cele brating 50 years of wedded to getherness, the wedding cake is a part of the plan. So they con fer with Mrs. Rees. This con ference leads to a Culinary mas terpiece that reflects the roman tic tastes of the star of the mat rimonial production. Cake decorating that started as a hobby about seven yerr3 ago when she and Mr. Rees retired from ranching has now ahnest got out of hand. It is a pains-ta king time-core uming business. The results are fabulous. Imagination and orginality are the two best ingredients she uses. “I have had no formal lessons.” says Mrs. Rees. “I just bought some books, attended a demon stration or two and started in.” Her largest production to date is a four tier giant that served 300 guests at a Golden Wedding anniversary The most unusiual was the exact replica of a six! house used in the gala event of an old timer's birthday. What many people do not know abe4.it Mrs. Rees is that she is ; an ardent collector erf old china and glass. She has many beauti ful and interesting pieces. Many brides who have boasted of the originality of their wedding cake have been priviledged to use her crystal candle sticks and old sal ver server ns accessories. Mrs. Rees has a many and var ied button collection. Not a hun ■ dred but hundreds of buttons fn m all over the U. S and foreign countries They are sorted, label ed and fastened to cards for easy handling This versatile lady has another facet of interest. She has revived the almost forgotten art of knit ting. Ctnter pieces almost as gos samer as spider webs are products of her skill. “Which hobby do you enjoy most?” We asked. Surprisingly enough she answered, “Going iishmg with my husband!"
