By Helen Barker
In The Milverton Sun
Most of us cringe at the
thought of sewing on one button,
therefore to be faced with a
number of buttons can prove
downright annoying. This button
sewing, however, doesn't bother
Mrs.. Roy Mayburry of .R.R.4,
Listowel, who has to date, 1,072
buttons sewn onto cardboard and
mounted in attractive frames.
She has been collecting the
buttons for twenty years,
completing a project started by
her daughter Marlene when she
was attending school.
The display includes buttons
for high school shoes, a heart
shaped copper overall button, a
tiny brass button carved with a
child's face, pearl buttons,manu-
factured in Kitchener when it
was known as Berlin, fancy
buttons and plain buttons in a
fascinating range of size, colour
and texture. They go from a tiny
pearl button, not much larger than
a pin head to' a 2 inch button,
the kind worn years ago on coats
and Sunday-go-meeting dresses.
Along with her button collec-
tion, Mrs. Mayinfry also marks
quilts for people living as far
away as Harriston. The designs
used in marking the quilts are her
own and they includ e the rose
pattern, peacock and others which
Mrs. Mayburry made from gen-
erous sheets of heavy brown
paper.
In 1970 when she visited her
sister, Mrs. Catherine Foster
in Coleambally, Australia, she
took over a quilt she had pieced
.and marked. She and her
sister quilted it and entered it
at the local hobby fair winning
the Noll Reid Trophy for the
best piece of handcraft.
Mrs. Mayburry brought home
the prize and Mrs. Foster kept
the quilt..
Mrs. Mayburry, the former
Pearl Jacklin,' was born near
Brussels, the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jack-
lin of Grey Township.
In 1931 she purchased the
Millinery business operated by
the late Mary Ross of Brussels,
under whom she trained. She
enjoyed making hats and noted
that it was an exceptionally fine
hand sewn hat that brought the
high price of $8 or $10.
She kept the business five
years. Another favourite hobby
with Mrs. Mayburry is travelling.
Latt spring she visited the, Tulip
Festival in Holland. Michigan,
and the German Festival at
Frankenmuth, Michigan.
Since Mr. Mayburry does not
find travelling all that exciting,
Mrs. Ma.yburry goes with a tour,
which she finds allows her to
enjoy sight seeing without the
responsibility of worrying over
a car and traffic.
"However," she adds with
a twinkle, "Roy has said he would
like to take a trip to Pennsyl-
vania in the spring."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Mayburry
are members of the Pioneer
Threshers at Blyth and
thoroughly enjoy the preparat-
ion for the annual event. •
Mrs. Mayburry also keeps
busy with sewing as she makes
most of her own clothes, cro-
cheting, knitting and speed weav-
ing,
"I like working with my
hands and I find that having •
hobbies keeps me " from be-
coming bored."
There is no danger of Mrs.
Mayburry becoming bored -- she
just has too many interests 'to
permit this to happen.

It's been a good year for

white bean crop - 50,000 acres

Miller, assistant ag. rep, at
the provincial agricultural Office
in Clinton.
The harvett is about a month
ahead of last year's muddy night-
mare when bean farmers lost an
estimated $1,000,000 as their
crops rotted in the fields. Mr.
Miller said that the bean yield
will be below average this year
because of recent hot, dry
weather and ozone bronzing, but
that greatly improved priceswill
make up for the lower Meld:,
Prices have gone as Mei' as
