She Makes Dolls
From Dried Apples
Ire. Marietta slate, never one
for idleness, began quite by acrf-
dent to use Iter talent for modeling.
One day while rleauiug out a fruit
bin she because intrigued with the
face she sawin adried apple s1,•
found far down in the box.
She recalled the faces .he used
ea make from bread to amuse her
children when they were small,
'Those bread faces soon deteeiorat•
ed, but its the apple she believed
she had found a more lasting 11171-
terial,
Mrs. Bate kept experimenting
with apples until 13 years ago she
was ready to copyright Apple Jack
and Apple Sue.
Wizened Face Emerges
ft takes from six to eight weeks
to process an apple into a wizened
face. It is with great patience that
?tars. Bate adjusts the fruit each
day, doing a bit of pinching here
and smoothing there until the fare
appears as she desires i1. The fruit
is treated internally so it will not
decay, but the artist warns "Be-
ware of mice, for an Apple Jack or
an Apple Sue proves a tidbit to a
arouse."
From wire and Wood, Mrs Bate
fashions bodies for the apple heads.
She dresses the dolls as typical
old folks of the hill country. Usual-
ly Apple Sue wears oldtime print
calico, but again she may dress in
black silk taffeta. Sometimes she
dons a slat bonnet made of print
but for Sunday she wears a black,
lace -trimmed bonnet made of silk
or cotton, .
Mrs, Bate watches the markets
to find just the apples she needs
for making dolls. just any old
apple will never do. Some varie-
ties she favors above others, and -
she prefers those grown locally.
The apples must be large and firm.
Made Thousands of Dolls
She gives out no figures as to
the numbers of dolls she had made,
insisting she has no time for count-
ing since housekeeping is her first
job. Her daughter Orpha owner of
a gift shop, estimates the number
in the thousands for dolls have
gone to every state, and to Canada,
Russia, France and Australia.
Mrs. Bate uses other .materials
found along the hillsides and in
the gardens for making the dolls.
There are Nczzie and Johnny, made .
from corn cobs; Ridge Runner
Pete and Sage Brush Nellie with
faces made of hickory, nuts; and
Chief Lemon Rind and Mrs, Turnip
are true to their mute.
Yet it is her Apple Jack and
Apple Sue dolls that have travelled
the farthest and brought their
maker most recognition.

RO V JCLES
Cowev4oli:ne P. Clat^ke
Well, we have had two more new
experiences at Ginger Farm—one
was the arrival of a'pure white calf,
We have had calves with various
markings through the. years but
never before have we had 'one that
was entirely white. The mother is
a Durham roan, the father we have
never seen as he lives at Maple but •
we have since' been told that he was
almost white. It is a wise' calf that
knows its own . father these days. •
Our other experience was having
the house, insulated—and this, I
think, will create more interest
than the white calf. Probably some
of you people have already had
your house insulated but I expect
there are a greater number who,
like ourselves, have wondered—"Is
it worthwhile?" Or maybe you have
thought if insulating is necessary
you night be just as far ahead to
buy bats and lay between the raf-
ters. These were things we had
often wondered but since we watch-
ed our men at work we think we
know the answers—and already .we
are getting results ... the house is
cooler.
Maybe you would like to kno,v
just what is done on this insula-
ting job. Well, the truck comes
along with three or four mea and
all their equipment. The truck is
parked somewhere near the house
and the hose brought through a
door or window or else through all
air -vent in the roof, One man in-
side the truck plucks the wool into
smaller pieces into a big tray or
vat. I said it looked as if Mother
Goose had been plucking iter feath-
ers. The wool is sucked up by mo-
tor power and blown through the
hose into the attic where then are
on haul to direct it where it should
go. Every nook and cranny is fill-
ed with insulating wool—which, by
the way, is absolutely fireproof.
Con can't even burn it in the stove
even if you try. The wool is laid
to a depth of 4 inches. As the men
worst they watch for Possible open
partitions—and they usually find a
few in old houses. These draught
catchers—or furring strips, to give
them their right name—are then
sealed and the wool goes over the
top of them. Any entries into the
attic such as small doors or trap-
doors are lined with wool Batts.
Ventilators are let into the roof
abot•e the insulation. The number of
vents depends upon the size of the
house . , . the had two. All outside
doors are caulked along the outside
etlges and weather -strippers on the
inside.
Now here is something• that
should interest the women -folk, If
the job is dome by experienced
workmen there is absolutely no
dust or confusion. The sten are iu
the hoose very little so, you can
curry on with your ordinary work.
The job does not take very king.
Our men started to work about 4:30
one afternoon and were throught
about the same time the next day.
And then the "boss” came along
to check over the job. I don't thunk
we had better workmen on any job.
They were mice, obliging fellows
. they didn't rush things but
neither did they waste any time
and each man brought his own
lunch!
Well, that is about all I can tell
you without being guilty of adver-
tising. Later on, when we have bad
a chance to test our insolation in
chilly weather, I shall be glad to,
pass on any information as to the
result: to anyone who ear•e5 10 write
for further partieulars. But a word
of warning ... don't give an order
to any insulating company without
staking a few inquiries—that is, if
you don't know anything about
them. There are rackets in this
just as in other jobs. Your local
bank manager or Better' Business
Bureau in Toronto can advise you
as to the reliability of any man or
company who solicits your order.
I wouldn't like you to have your
house insulated because of anything
T have said—and then find you had
been taken for a ride.
And now let lite take you on a
trip. Bob was home for the week-
end then took us over to Maple
where he is operating a power-
shovef for one of the construction
companies who are building the new
highway to Barrie, Really these
super -highways are almost frighten-
ing—the project is so immense. We
saw the much talked about ,clover-
leaf at Wilson Avenue—lintaaa long
way from being finishtth Vhere
was another clover -leaf,` at present
nameless, and also an overpass. Al-
ong the sides of 'the highway, where
paving has been completed, trees
and shrubs have already been plant-
ed—after the style of the Queen.
Elizabeth. Of course this new high-
way is not actually open to traffic.
Anyone using it does so at his own
risk. Bob mentioned one fellow who
drove 4 miles along a freshly laid
strip of concrete. He didn't get
stuck but I wonder what happened
to his tyres!
Oh—oh more work—here
comes the baling machine!
UNDAYSCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev. R. B. Warren, B: A., B. D.
FELLOWSHIP IN THE
CHURCH
Matthew 18:15-20; Acts 4:31-37:
Philippians 1:27-2:1:1; - John 3:14-
24,
Memory Selection: 'Hereby per-
ceive we the love of God, because
he laid clown his life for us: and we
ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. 1 John 3:18.
The church at Philippi, to W110111
this lesson was written was (torn in
a prison with bleeding backs "at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed,
anti sang praises unto God: and the
prisoners heard theta," Acts 16:25,
The jailer was converted. Now Taut
is writing front prison its Route. He
recognizes that suffering, rather
than destroying. the Church, can
1o51er and strengthen its fellowship.
Bob Pierce used Paul's 3wnl'115 to
good ace holt in speaking to tile
South Koreans • last "December,
How t untforting- was til exhorta-
tion, "In nothing terrified by your
adversaries; which is to them an
evident token of perdition, but to
you of salvation, and that of God,
For unto you it is given in the be-
half of Christ, not only to believe
on 1,111, but also to suffer for his
sake."
Fellowship is starred by one
acting in strife or seeking glory
for himself, if we are humble,
esteeming other's above ourselves
and putting the interest of others
before our own, fellowship will
deepen.
The great example set before us
is Christ Himself. Though equal
with God, He took the lowest place,
going to the cross. But now He is
exalted. The way to honour, is
humility. As we follow the example
of Christ, fellowship in the church
grows.
It is 1lotewol•th that missionaries
from various denominations have a
warmer fellowship titan ministers in
their homeland, The great obstacles
of paganism which they face in
common helps theta to forget the
miuoe differences which exists
among them. In the homeland we
have too much regard for differ-
ences and not enough for the com-
mon foe. Should the advances of
communism becomes more dang-
erous, ministers here will doubtless
draw closer together, We can have
fellowship without union. It is also
true that we can have organic
union without unity. Let our first
objective be unity and fellowship.
