BONE CHINA
We were talking about pottery
and chinaware a few days ago and
mentioned the high excellence which
English 'porcelain had attained in
the last two or three centuries, riv
aling the best that ' the Chinese
in ancient days created, except from
the point of view of artistic design.
Critics say there is nothing finer
than the designs of the Chinese pot
ter.
It was in the 1700’s that the great
est of the modern advances were
made in the manufacture of English
porcelain. The clay had been fam
ous for many centuries before that.
The Romans, when they conquered
Britain, made vessels from the na
tive clays to grace the equipments of
the Emperor Hadrian. One of the
most valuable legacies these Roman
colonists left was the potter’s wheel.
But it was in the 1.700’s about the
time of the American Revolution,
that English chiiia, discarding part
of its borrowed traditions, assumed
a character of its own. A peculiar
china body was produced, of which
bone ash and feldspar formed the
cliief components. In the following
century practically all the English
factories made the so-called bone
porcelain with a body consisting of
china stone, cihina clay and bone ash.
Bone porcelains came to be made in
Germany, France and Sweden. Some
is being made in Canada today.
Last year we imported bone-ash,
which is used for ether purposes
also such as cleaning jewelry, mak
ing artificial fertilizers and in mak
ing cups for commercial refining of
precious metals, to the amount of
26,00'0 cwt..

COMMUNICATION
The Exeter Times-Advocate
Some friends from the United
States, who were touring there, and
also in Ontario and who were inter
ested in cemeteries went to see
many of them on their trip. When
they came to t'he Exeter cemetery
they were surprised to find the
gates locked, this being the first
one they had found that way. All
others were not locked and they
could go in and drive all through
the cemeteries, the gates being lock
ed at six o’clock when the men went
home from work. This year some
friends came from London to see
the Exeter cemetery and they too
were very much surprised to find
the gates locked. At times there
are old people who are not able to
get out of the cars and walk around
but would like to drive through to
see the graves of some old-time
friends who were buried years ago.
We ask, why lock the gates in the
day time? Everyone feels that the
cemetery is holy ground and would
respect it. Surely our Cemetery
Board would be willing for strang
ers to drive in and see how beauti
fully it is all kept. One family last
year said that Exeter had the nicest
and best kept cemetery they saw on
all their trip. This must be very
encouraging to our caretaker Mr. K.
Clarke and shows that he has good
taste.

A CORN RECORD
(Planted in June, Eaten in July)
Box O, Clinton, Ont.
August 2nd, 1937
Editor;
Times-Advocate
Exeter, Ont..
Dear Sir: —
Taking a notion of writing you a
few lines from the County House I
wish to state as follows:
■On the first day of June, the
writer planted a patch of garden
corn, which under the care of Mr.
Robt. Rowcliffe was brought to
splendid maturity and excellent
quality (Without any corn borers)
and which was eaten <on the last day
of July.
Mr. Rowcliffe, although somewhat
crippled and getting up in years, still
takes a keen interest in gardening.
He has grown much corn around
Exeter and thinks this is his best
record for quick corn production;
—planted in June and eaten In
July.
Although we have had. a few
fierce wind storms with rain, which
in some cases done more harm than
good to this heavy clay soil. I ven
ture to state that our vegetable
gardeh and. flower beds "Will compare
very favorably -with any 'other gar
dens in this locality; vegetables or
tiowers. ’' ’
I am yours sincerely,
Harty Holford
