The savory, if slightly Im
probable. ' house advertised
above is the product of a 51-
year-old Justice Department
clerk who spent three months
concocting it—far fun.
James C. Lee’s “candy cot
tage” is made entirely of sugar
and spice and everything nice.
It would make Hansel’s and
Gretel's mouths water.
Mr. Lee, a slight, self-effac
ing fellow who holds no baker's
degree, “built” the cottage in
the basement of his home din
ing his spare time. While the
cottage is not exactly on the
real estate block, it should get
plenty of sweet-tooth buyers.
Two years ago this Christ
mas, Mr. Lee presented a sim
ilar cottage to President Elsen
hower's grandchildren. In 1957,
he gave another one to young
Prince Mashur, son of Saudi
e Arabia’s King Baud.
g Benefit Raffle
This year, in keeping with
a the Christmas season, Mr. Lee
is offering the candy cottage to
' a neighborhood raffle to raise
■ money for a cause dear to his
t- heart, the Junior Civic Organ
's ization of Port Totten.
y The cottage is a 30-pound
l - minor engineering marvel from
;- its chewing-gum walls (which
d took 70 boxes of Chiclets) to
o the “shingled” roof of red cin
il namon squares (which took 4
a pounds of cinnamon). There
>f are evea lace curtains on the
windows and interior lighting.
"First, I made the frame for
e the house out of quarter-inch
a wooden strips,” said Mr. Lee,
it describing the building opera
i- tion. "After covering the strips
with cardboard, I put a sugar
and egg-white paste over that;
then attached the candy to the
; paste."
The cottage’s grounds are
i landscaped with 20 box shrubs
\ made of green mint leaves.
[ while the pool, plastic*llned to
> hold real water, is amply pro
vided with 27 colored life-savers
and a base of 80 black-walnut
I candies.
Stick Candy Fence
i The front stoop sports two
Georgian columns of strawberry
■ twist, while visitors can scrape
■ their shoes on a base of con
. fectlonery sugar and the white
I of eggs.
The front door design (as
- well as the back) consists of 40
i succulent “Jubl” drops stacked
i row on row. Just above the
• entrance, two rows of pepper
mint drops support and en
s close the second-story sun
t porch.
And the cottage's final
■ touch?

i
BALTIMORE, Dec. 11 (AP).
—Little Shirley Hubbard was
i attacked and bitten so badly
i by three dogs that her mother
, didn’t recognize the blood-cov

crying.
i The 6-year-old youngster was

about two blocks away yester

Edward Hubbard, while he went

About 16 minutes later heri

) to her mother:
I “Mommy, there is a little
! girl on the front porch with
’ no clothes on but her panties,
' and she's all covered with
‘blood."
Mrs. Hubbard opened the
1 door and didn’t recognize the
child standing nearly nude in

Another daughter, Patricia,

house and got the father. They
bundled the child in a blanket
and took her to the nearby

Mrs. Meyer Asks Aid
For the Handicapped
More Federal aid should be
provided families with handi
capped children. Mrs. Agnes E.
Meyer declared yesterday.
Eugene Meyer, chairman of
the board of the Washington
Post Co., suggested that Social
Security benefits be extended
so “any family burdened with
the care of an incurably defec
tive child could receive finan
cial assistance for Its care and
> little girl to South Baltimore
General Hospital.
Hospital attendants said the
girl suffered bites and scratches
over her entire body. A piece
i of her scalp about three inches
square was almost torn from
her head.
Her condition was reported
improved today after a aeries
of emergency treatments.
The dogs which attacked the
girl were identified as ones
owned by neighbors. They
frequently played with the
children in the area, and were
not considered vicious.
The animals were taken to
the Anne Arundel County dog
pound in Annapolis for obser
vation.
i education, even before it reaches
the age ot 18 ”
Her remarks were made at
dedication ceremonies in Rock
ville, Md.. and for the new treat
ment center of the Montgomery
! County Society for Crippled
Children and Adults.
Mrs. Meyer noted that a new
amendment to the Social Se
curity Act provides monthly
benefits for “these unfortunate
children when they reach the
age of 18. provided the pargnt
is getting oM-age benefits.”
She said it also psovides ben
efit payments to the mother so
; long as she cares for the child.
But in her appeal for more
’ Federal help, Mrs. Meyer addgd:
“The drain on our public in
surance funds would be slight
in comparison with the relief
from sheer agony and from
family disruption, to say noth
ing of the sense of security it
would give to the families thus
afflicted."
She said "disastrous coat-s”
confront the average-inctfns
family with handicapped chil
dren and said “wealthy fam
ilies can shoulder the economic
load.”
