Neitherisfighting it. The inflation rate in Canada has improved over the ' past couple of' years, thanks to the efforts of Canadians who recognized the dangers of spiralling prices and wages. The moderation has helped and it's a good thing it happened, as we all know from the fears we were experiencing back in 1974-75.We're doing better, but we can't he satisfied.Inflation still exists and it hurts. Ask the poor, the pensioners, the Can- adians who have worked hard for years to build up some retirement savings —they know better than anyone how truly critical this problem can he. A serious part of the overall problem is the popularbelief that the rate of in nation can't be influenced by individuals. That's just not true.

The slate of officers was read and the meeting closed with another carol, and the benediction. by Pot Venner Every Wednesday afternoon since Labour Day, there has been a group of ten ladies who have been learning the fine art of ceramics, the time spent depending on whether mother has to rush home to her homemaking duties or can stay a little longer to complete her present piece. Each participant has been learning a technique or medium of coloring, glazing, staining, antiquing, festiquing, scraffiti and learning to control a brush with strokes, fine lines, circles. These often produce very peculiar and funny figures and pictures. These past weeks our art brought a lot of. laughter as each would-be artist produced their own version of a scene depicting a weeping willow, hill, flowers, trees, figures and animals, all to be in perspective. Our instructress, Mrs. Mary Lou Hyde, is pursuing this craft strictly as a hobby. She is a very talented lady who has found this medium to be the correct outlet for her artistic capabilities. Mary Lou has studied for the past four years, taking courses at London, Toronto and Oshawa. In addition to this hobby, Mary Lou has a husleand and two girls who enjoy their mother's studio. She pops in to check on dinner on the way to her kiln, which she is filling- with our pieces or removing other, artist's work. Husband Jim has been a won- derful help, transposing and refitting the garage into a studio. As each week hobbiests are acquiring more green ware, he is fixing up more shelves and more Space for this fascinating hobby. Both her daughters are pursuing their own talents and sometimes the pieces of her daughters and mother get shoved aside as the learners need a particular piece for a wedding or special occasion gift. She casually mentions as they work away that sometimes the days run into long nights as she is up at 5 a.m, checking on the kiln or cleaning green ware till 1 a.m. She is truly a dedicated artist. Mary Lou has an infinite amount of patience. The students have all undergone the frustrations of having a piece of greenware shatter after spending many hours cleaning and preparing that special piece. You just pick up the pieces, put them in a container and save them to mend or repair for any future casualties. Ms. Pat Venner is one of the ladies taking this hobby and she would like to highlight her ex- periences:go date I have had seven afternoons. As a beginner I have been a bit disappointed when my piece did not turn out as anticipated. I must learn by that particular goof what I have done wrong and how to correct it to avoid future errors. It is such fun to look around and see each lady working at her own pace, using her own talent and adapting it to her specifications, producing an entirely personal and original piece of ceramics.' This is such a fascinating hobby that many of this group want to continue After Christmas. Nearer Christmas, the students are going to celebrate with their own "GOOF" money. This is a fine they pay for using wrong technique or word to describe the method we are using. The pot is getting quite healthy, The Venner s with the curiosity instinct inborn, has watched Pat each week and explored her craft box which is filled with shredded paper to protect her precious ware in transit. She thinks this is her own special place to explore and play in. Pat's daughter has enjoyed this hobby arid has produced an excellent piece of work. Needless to say she gets many laughs over my amateurish attempts. In the Venner family, both the mother and grandmother were very accomplished artists, Her grandmother did hand painted china. Her Mother specialized in tneditim of pastels, producing beautiful flower pictures, They would indeed shudder to see my work at present state, Mary Lou has many beautiful About people you know . be demonstrating Christmas decorations.
