Have you noticed a vast itn-
Provement in my writing lately?
You haven't. Have you noticed a
slight improvement? No?
Seven weeks ago I enrolled in a
creative writing course at
Fa nshaw e College in London. The
class, which meets one evening a
week, continues until December.
Although I don't expect to
compose a No. 1 bestselling novel
after completing my studies, I'm
benefiting from the experience in
many ways.
The first night, for example, I
viewed the impressive ar-
chitecture of the edifice, from the
outside as well as the inside. I
wasn't following a conducted
tour; I was lost.
With the help of a member of
the teaching staff, I finally
located the correct classroom.
Our instructor promptly an-
nounced, "We'll meet in another
room next week - number D1006."
Because I was determined not
to be late a second time, I arrived
on campus three-quarters of an
hour early the following week. I
entered a side door and mounted
a flight of stairs. Then I spied a
floor plan, which had been hung
tactfully on the wall at the top of
the steps.
Feeling little self-confidence, I
chose my route and wound my
way through the halls. Five
minutes later I noticed a door
marked D1006. Unbelievable!
With a half-hour to kill before
the class began, I wandered
along the corridor. Through the
large windows, I admired the
attractively landscaped cour-
tyard, which connected the new
wings with the original structure,
I also passed a spaciouS lounge
filled with sofas, coffee tables,

Christmas is coming up fast
and nothing is more beautiful at
the - festive season than
decorative candles flickering on
a snowy evening.
Candles have become very
popular in the last few years, and
the shapes, sizes and com-
binations of colours available are
almost endless,
One local lady, Mrs. Allan
Rundle has become quite in-
terested in the craft of candle
making in the past three years
and has made some very in-
teresting and unusual designs
The basic ingredients of any
candle are paraffin wax,
colouring, which can be bought at
a hobby shop or old crayons will
do tit takes five crayons to colour
a medium sized candle) wicking,
steric acid (about 4 tablespoons
pet' pound of wax to harden), and
molds.
The molds used by Mrs.Rundle
include used milk cartons, jars,
bottles and bowls and molds
which can be purchased at a
hobby shop. By, several
different shaped jars a' unique
shaped candle can be made.
Striped candles can be made by
filling the mold with first one
colour of hot wax, tilting it until
the wax sets and then adding
another colour.
Mrs. Rundle says that if the
candle is put in the refrigerator
just before removing from the
mold the wax shrinks slightly and
the candle can be easily removed
There is no limit to the different
shapes that can be made. After
the candle has been taken out of
the mold it can. be carved with a
paring knife
Whipped or beaten wax adds a
fluffy surface to a candle, The hot
wax is beaten with a fork until it
is foamy
Ice cubes placed in the mold
before the wax is poured in
makes a lacy candle that looks
beautiful when burning,
Interesting effects can be
achieved by making a jelly roll of
two contrasting colours of thin
magazine racks and ashtrays.
Some of us live in homes less
comfortable than that lounge. I
wondered whether the luxurious
surroundings increased our
learning capacities.
When I joined my classmates,
our instructor announced,
"We've been assigned to another
room. Follow me."
As we marched along the hall,
down the stairs, across the
courtyard, through the cafeteria
and up another hall, my heart
sank. Would I ever find my way
out? Fortunately our third and
permanent classroom was
conveniently located near the
parking lot.
Our class consists of twelve
people representing both sexes,
various age groups, diverse
occupations and a dozen different
viewpoints. A common interest -
writing - brings us together.
One ambitious lady is working
on her first novel. A male student
declares, "I'll write a book if it
takes me a hundred years!"
Our study technique is simple.
We react each other's com-
positions and analyze them
paragraph by paragraph, sen-
tence by sentence, phrase by
phrase, In other words, we tear
them into shreds.
The criticism is constructive;
the varied interpretations of a
manuscript help the author to
view his writing through the eyes
of the readers, Each of us learns
from the eleven other students as
well as from the instructor.
Our conversations aren't
restricted to poems and prose,
though. While we learn from each
other, we also learn about each
other.
The course taught me more
than facts about creative writing.
It supported my belief that people
benefit from association with
others.
