Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Weekdays Tin glaze pottery originated in Italy By James G. McCollam Member, Antique Appraisers Association of America Q. My Majolica three- piece tea set is decorated with cauliflowers and has the enclosed mark on the bot- tom. Is this the original Italian Majolica? I also would like to know when it was made and its value. A. Etruscan Majolica was made by Griffin, Smith and Hill in Phoenixville, Pa., during the late 19th century, It would sell for $250 to $300 for the set. Majolica is any pottery with a tin glaze; it was first made on the island of Jaio- lica in the 16th century. Q. This chair is marked "L. Hitchcock, Hitchcock- ville, Conn., Warranted." What can you tell me about its vintage and value? A. This is a genuine Hitch- cock chair. The generic name for chairs like this is "Fancy Chair". They were FANCY CHAIR A genuine Hitchcock chair popular from the late 18th century well past the middle of the 19th century. Yours was made in the second quarter of the 19th century and should sell for $225 to $275 in good condition. Lindy's boat Aviator Charles A. Lind- bergh Jr. was a cautious pilot.

It is Oh to be in England now that April's there (Browning). It is a bunch of gals in long nighties scattering petals as they dance in the gladsome glade (Boticelli). It is Iambs gambolling to the notes of the shepherd's pipes (Beet- hoven) . Now, that may be all very true in Europe, where those birds operated, and where Spring is indeed a bewitch- ing seductress that makes the senses reel. But I am not, to my regret a poet, the only painting to which I can point with pride is my storm win- dows, I can barely make a tune discernible on the kazoo, and most important of all, I am a Canadian. So I'm afraid I'll have to go along with Samuel Butler, who had a more prosaic view of Spring. Of course, Sam, though he was an English- man, had visited Canada, as witness those immortal lines "Oh God! Oh Montreal!" He stated flatly that Spring is "an over -praised season .. . more remarkable, as a general rule, for biting east winds than genial breezes." Spring, for the average resident of Ontario, is like heaven, something to be looked forward to with a cer- tain hearty optimism, mingled with a slight doubt about its eventual appear- ance. Only about once in ten years does Spring actually materialize in this country,; Then the natives go com- pletely haywire. Forgetting the other nine cold, dreary springs, they, whip off their long underwear, go for long walks in the woods, and fall deeply in love, though not necessarily in that order. Of course, they catch severe headcolds, get blisters and lost, and marry people they normally wouldn't be seen dead in a ditch with. (l0n.

Every Spring I promise my- self I'll put in a garden this year, and a few weeks later promise myself again I'll get at the garden right after opening day of the trout season, and later still that I'll get the screens on. This goes on right through until fall, and even then I'm promising to get the storm windows on. My mother told me I was a promising boy one time, and it went to my head. I've been promising ever since. There's no denying though, that spring is a time of resur- gence of life. There's nothing so heartwarming as the sight of the annual spring crop of babies, out on display in the pram parade on the first sunny day. Their slim young mothers, who were girls just last fall, have a new beauty, and dignity as they sail along three abreast, pushing hon- est taxpayers into the gutter. For our senior citizens, spring is the most wonderful gift of all. They have been dicing with death all winter, and as the sun warms their old bones, they know they have won another toss, and a welcome respite, before they have to pick up said bones and shake, rattle and roll them again. For the kids, there are drains to make. Boats to float, puddles to wade through, and lovely mud that squishes underfoot. Threats, orders and imprecations from their harassed mothers, trying to cope with the annual flood of muddy footprints and wet shirt-tails, have no more effect than rain on a duck. For the farmer, spring means another nine months of breaking his back•for pea- nuts. For the sailor, it means leaving the wild scramble of family life for the compara- tive calm of life on the deep. For the housewife, .its °is a time to attack the house like EY KIDS! LEARN TO DRAW WITH DANNY COUGHLAN & O. -- -- v o 'n ,U D6-° ‘,4 r / 1,ANNy 3 1101N9 err 40, I JJ copYru6r7 /9r•5 1.

With the map turned so "Northern Horizon' is at the bottom, face north and look for the dipper shape outlined by the seven bright stars that form the hind- quarters of the Great Beat It is easy to see why this formation is called the Big Dipper, and why it is probably the best loved of all star formations, At maptime in June the Big Dipper is almost due north, turned upside down with the handle sweeping up- ward. Ursa Major is a circumpolar constellation and swings continu- ously around the north celestial pole. A check of its position every couple of hours will show it moving into the northwest and then closer to the hori- , zon. As the orientation of the Dipper changes, the two outside bowl stars, appropriately called the "Pointers'', al- ways point to Polaris. Called the • North Star because it very nearly marks the north celestial pole, Polaris is the brightest star in Ursa Minor, popularly called the Little Dipper. The map also shows how the Big Dip- per can be used to locate the brightest stars in Leo. Gemini, Cassiopeia, Bobtes, and Virgo, Once you know where to look - locating the brightest star in each constellation as JUNE complishes this - it is relatively easy to find the fainter stars. Binoculars are useful for this part of the search. , A few constellations, such as Ursa Major and W-shaped Cassiopeia, are characterized by a,distinctive shape. defined by bright stars rather than by a single outstanding star Faint con- stellations present a greater chal- lenge. To find them, estimate their position relative to nearby bright stars or familiar constellations. Note that Hercules is midway between golden yellow Arcturus and brilliant, blue - white Vega. Using the map as a guide, locate these stars and then look for the faint outline of Hercules. The Summer Triangle, defined by Vega (in Lyra), Deneb (in Cygnus) and Altair (in Aquila), will be at its best when higher in the sky - either atter midnight in June or in the evening sky in the coming months. This group of constellations will be featured in Star- gazing later in the summer. • d h (Universal Time) 6 17 ' First Quarter Moon • 10 13 Saturn 0.2° N. of Moon 10 14 Mars 4° S. of Moon 13 15 Full Moon 14 22 Jupiter 3° N. of Moon 21 05 Summer Solstice: summer begins 21 11 Last Quarter Moon 29 03 New Moon PLANETS: Mars and Satum are,both in Libra this month and are visible in the night sky from sunset until after midnight.
