It has been years and years
since Mrs. Edna Overholt first
had a craving for a "what -not"
,.. •a kind of ;cornier shelf which.
holds little ornaments ands.. and
well, what-nots.
The lovely living room in her
home at 98 Britannia Road East
would not be -completely
furnished, Mrs. Overholt
thought, until a "what -not"
filled one vacant corner beside
the fireplace.
The -•lady found just what she
• wanted in the Jhome of Mr..andi
a7 ji F tt >♦y,� alpi:.•.s�Elis�,�:ancl
off„,494 ..
• to purchase their "what -not"
,from them,. They refused to sell
the item liut they did agree to
allow Mrs, Overholt to take a
pattern arc the very valuable
piece of furniture.
Armed with a "pencil and a
piece of lumber; Mrs. Overholt
carefully ' traced around all the ,
curves and juttings of the Josling
"what -not".
21
Tlte next job was to, use the
pattern to make the "what -not"
of her dream's. As one of seven
women enrolled in the
► woodworking shop classes at
GDCI for the winter months,
Mrs, Overholt was well on her
way.
The material for theoot
h" was just an
incidental �' , . Mrs.
Overholt believes the cos el
1
mohogany, stain, glue and screw
nails for the furnishing totalled
about. $20 or $25. But there are
hours — she spent 20 weeks at
night school •— and hours — she
• worked on the "what -not"
between taking calls at her •
husband Francis, Overholt's fuel

"what -not" that she ' would
hesitate to put a price on the
item. More to the point, Mrs.
Oserholt doubts if she co\.i.ld
part with it.
As her "w -inter project" the
"what -not" was a real
copyersation piece at Overholt
Fuels where so txiueh of the
sanding , and rubbing and
cleaning and smoothing went on.
Customers would come intp the
office., Mrs. Overholt. said, and ,
remark,; about her ` ambitions,

.finished product and nowthat
the "what -not" is com;plete'and
standing in the chosen corner of
the Overholt living; `"' room
adorned with a collection of
china dainties, most people can
hardly believe it was handcrafted k
by Mrs.. Overholt.
The real test came -When Mrs.
Overholt invited Mr, and Mrs.
Josling to her home to see the 0.
finished "what -not". They were
surprised by the close
resemblance • between the
Overholt "what -not" and their
own and had to admit it was a
work of art.
Unfortunately, the
completion of the project hasn't
put an end to Mrs. Overholt's
desire for a "what -not". One.
might even say she has just
'gill el . in "what-nots"
because she hopes ake
another one — maybe two- for
her family.
And if there,are-Woodwork'ing•••
classes offered at night school
next year at GDCI, rs. Edna
Overholt will be there.
"The.. sQciabili<ty was . really
terrific," she explained. "It was
a lot of fun."
