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.

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.

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. ,And the RELIEF IS LASTING Vol. fast, prolonged relief from headache get INSTANTINn.
