Deroy Potters Created
charm and Distinction
Family receives letter from Tucson, Arizona
One of the most notable
achievements of the English in
porcelain Manufacture is the
tableware and "services," made
under the auspices of the Derby
factory during the last quarter
of the eighteenth century and
the first decade of the nine-
teenth, in these, it is general-
ly conceded, was created a
charming and distinctive ex-
pression of the ceramic art, all
the more arresting since the
prevailing taste of that day
favored the coldly "pure" and
rigorous style we call "neo-
classical" (in contrast to the
exuberant and fanciful rococo
which bad here-unto held the
field), a style which might
have had a restrictive and un-
inspiring influence on the
makers.
The Derby potters, however,
succeeded in making something
warm, genial and thoroughly
"English" out of the material
handed to them. They added
a touch of fancy in handles and
knobs to the practical, at times
even severe, shapes, while the
decorators charged the plain
surfaces with warmth and life
through their good taste in color
and their graceful use of mo-
tives either outworn or lacking
in natural interest as ornaments.
To the credit of the Derby
Lakelet
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Roed-
ding and children from Bridge-
port visited at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Delmar Dickert on
Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
Jacques of Clifford were Sun-
day evening guests at the same
home.
The sympathy of this com-
munity is extended to Mrs.
Charles Scott in the death of
her brother on Thursday of last
week.
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Dav-
idson of Wingham visited at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Wright Saturday evening.
The Lakelet Jets hockey
team gained their first victory
of the season on Sunday after-
noon in competition with Clif-
ford.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Death
and Barry of Weston spent the
week-end with relatives in the
vicinity.
Monday visitors at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hohn-
stein included Mr. and Mrs.
Redmond McDonald and family
of Wingham, Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence McCutcheon and
children of Brussels, Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold Gadke and Billy
and Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Rohn-
stein.

HOSPITALS. -PRISONS
craftsmen be it also said that,
with few exceptions, they did
not violate the beautiful quali-
ties of the porcelain itself by
smothering it with a flood of
color, as was often done in
European factories. They al-
lowed it to show freely, to add
its rich gleam to the whole.
• As a rule, the Derby table-
ware was thinly potted, milk-
white in color with a soft,
satiny, lustrous glaze that pro-
vided a perfect ground for the
thick, soft gliding and the spat,
ing decoration in color. This
decoration took several forms,
including landscape, fruit and
flowers, for which the Derby
decorators were justly famous.
A frequent and distinctive
embellishment of Derby was
also the plain band or stripe,
such as can be seen (transform-
ed into a series of loops) in this
accompanying example. This
simple band reflected the aus-
tere "neo-classical" taste, but
the Derby decorator brought it
alive by ingenious devices.
Sometimes he overlaid it with
fine gilding; sometimes he ale
ternated the colors in the dif-
ferent stripes; again he inserted
as a minor accompaniment to
the striations, delicately paint-
ed garlands of small flowers or
other pleasant, decorative fan-
cies that relieved the austerity
of the main decoration. In all,
he showed taste and discretion
and a respect for the inherent
qualities of his medium. He
will be remembered, too, for
his good use of those wonderful
colors that came to him from
Sevres, Vincennes, and other
continental sources; the famous
intense "Derby blue," the love-
ly turquoise and claret, the
pea-green and the canary yel-
low.
The customary mark on Der-
by ware, beginning about 1785,
was a crowned "D" with crossed
staves and six dots. The name
"Crown Derby, " succeeding that
of "Chelsea-Derby" which was
in use from the time the two
factories were united in 1770
until about 1784, dates from
this period.
Euchre party
BELGRAVE--There were 12
tables at the euchre at Belgrave
arena Wednesday evening of
last week. High lady was Mrs.
Lewis Cook; high man, Ernie
Michie; low lady, Mrs. Garner
Nicholson; low man, Ed Wight-
man. The novelty prizes were
won by Mrs. Clarence Johnson
and Nelson Higgins.
FINAL VOWS
Mr. and Mrs. Cletus Rettin-
ger of Teeswater, formerly of
Turnberry Township, attended
the ceremony in Immaculate
Conception Chapel, Mount St.
Joseph, London, on January 3
when their daughter, Sister
Mary Stephanie pronounced the
final vows of her Religious Pro-
fession of Faith.
Also attending from here
were Anne Morrison of Wing-
ham, Rev. Father Swaine and
C. A. Morrison of Teeswater.
Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Bibb,
who spend the summers at Har-
row and winter in the United
States, have written the follow-
ing interesting letter to mem-
bers of her family from Tucson,
Arizona. Mrs. Bibb is the for-
mer Rea Currie.
Dear Family:
If I make a start I may get a
letter written. K. is going to
cook the lunch. That is his
contribution toward the letters.
We are having steak and baked
sweet potato, one of our more
expensive lunches as sweet po-
tatoes were 2 for 290. It is just
about as cheap to eat around
the corner as they have a nice
plate lunch for 750 smallpor-
tions of meat, potato, salad
and hot roll and beverage.
We left home just after one
snow storm and Mary Sarvis
says, just before a very bad one.
We ran out of the snow at Ft.
Wayne. That is a pretty trip
along the Maumee River. It
wasn't as pretty after we left the
snow, but the roads were safer.
We left Detroit Wed, morning.
By Thursday night we were in
Lebanon, Missouri. In the mid-
dle of the night I woke up
ghastly sick with the 24-hour
flu, so we stayed there on Fri-
day and started out again Sat.
a.m. and arrived here Monday
evening.
When we came to the des-
ert I thought it looked abso-
lutely gruesome and wondered
how even a rattlesnake could
live in it. Of course I hadn't
eaten for 3 days so I guess my
sight was a little jaundiced.
Kemp said, "Well, some peo-
ple just love it." We stopped
at the Ramadda Motel here. It
is really run more like a hotel.
It is a chain. They have excel-
lent coffee shops and I wanted
some tasty food. We called
Viola's friend Tuesday morn-
ing. Her mother was at Bur-
wash and she was brought up in
Port Elgin, also her husband.
Wednesday she took us out and
found us this apartment. She is
an extremely nice person, also
her husband. We are very lucky
to find a couple whom we both
like and find congenial. We
had them out to dinner one Sun-
day. We had Christmas dinner
with them - roast duck and
chicken with all the trimmings
and they are coming out with
us for New Year's dinner.
This apartment is 3 years
old and very comfortable.
There is a good sized living
room that is divided from the
kitchen which is in the center
of the apartment by a counter;
coat closet, furnace closet,
nice tiled bathroom and good
sized bedroom with 2 clothes
closets, The furniture is new,
of course, and quite comfort-
able. There is a forced air gas
furnace and we need it here as
it freezes almost every night,
but when the sun comes up
about '1.00 a.en. it soon warms
up.
Tuesday we drove up Mount
Lernon to the forest line. The
snow was about 3 in. deep and,
as it is holiday week, there
were families up there with
their children enjoying the
snow. They even had brought
their little sleighs. It was very
pretty as it was a clear day. We
were going to go up to the top
and have lunch at the tearoom
there but the road began to be
icy so we turned around. It is
scary enough when the road is
dry but the scenery was magnif-
icent. I think Kemp is enjoy-
ing the mountains out here very
much even though they are not
covered with the same kind of
vegetation as in the East. When
we got back down to the desert
vegetation, cactus, etc., it
looked pretty sad to me, but it
is interesting.
One day we went to visit the
Desert Museum. It is in the
Saguaro Gov. Park. Saguaro is
a huge cactus, very ugly to
look at, but very interesting.
We walked along the paths and
enjoyed looking at all the dif-
ferent vegetation. They had
little plaques along the way to
tell us about it. Another day we
went to see the Colossal Cave
where the bandits hid their loot
in the old days. We got our
day's exercise walking up and
down steps. but it is fantastic.
The cutest little black cat ac-
companied us all the way. An-
other day we went up the Sa-
bina Canyon to where a lovely
little stream, clear as crystal,
was coming down out of the
mountains.
We went south of town to
see the copper mine one day
this week. They took the top
right off of a mountain and then
terraced it down 500 feet so
that they could drive their
trucks right down into it. One
other day we drove out to the
Indian Reservation. It is just
like anyone else's ranch. We,
of course, didn't go anywhere
near the dwellings.
They have a different cus-
tom here. When the grass turns
brown, which it had done be-
fore we came, they paint it
green. They say the paint
washes off when the rains come
and acts as a fertilizer.
We didn't do any Christmas
shopping. We couldn't really.
We were busy just finding our
way about town. I did the map
reading. I know more about
how to get about this town in
the short time we have been
here than I did about Winter
HaVen in several years. We nev-
er used a map before, just learn-
ed our way. By the time we
reached here the stores were
crowded and we didn't know
where they were. We found the
nicest shopping centre the other
day and it is very close to our
apartment.
K. went out in the desert one
day with Mr. Nelson looking for
cactus wood he uses in his hob-
by of making little things,
Kemp got his ankles full of
barbs and a piece of cactus fell
on Mr. N.'s back and K. had to
take the barbs out of him, K.
says everything, even the grass,
in the desert has barbs on it. It
also has poisonous snakes,scorp-
ions big and little, tarantulas
etc. however, they are more
dormant this time of year.
There arc no bugs in this place,
They have a Monthly spray ser-
vice and there is no vegetation
around the house. They have
cracked white marble all along
the sides of the house. It is
quite attractive. The landlady
says if we see ONE bug we are
to let her know.
We have been to two Pres-
byterian Churches and they
were so different. One was
new, very modern, with a huge
congregation and about four
ministers. The head minister
spoke and used "far-out" lang-
uage to put across his lesson.
The nice new seats were devil-
ishly uncomfortable. If they
are so very modern in other
things, why do they have to
have seats that were designed in
the Middle Ages? The other
church was small, reminded me
of Calvin. There was just one
minister and last Sunday he ev-
en took the tenor part in the an-
them. His wife conducts the
choir. He also had an excel-
lent lesson for us. Mrs. Nelson
says we must go to Trinity Pres-
byterian as the minister there is
quite a famous speaker. Trin-
ity is close to the University and
has a large congregation of stud-
ents and professors. This will
be our first experience of
"church tasting" . We ,have
ways just gone to the one church.
There were two Presbyterian
churches in Winter Haven and
we never got around to going to
the second one.
Mon., Jan. 2, 1967: We lis-
tened to our favorite programs
New Year's Eve which come
two hours earlier and went to
bed at 10.00 as we said all our
"home" friends would be say-
ing "Happy New Year" then. We
had a very pleasant day yester-
day. The Nelsons took us for a
long ride through the mountain
passes and then we had dinner
at Douglas. Tucson is a pretty
town of about 250,000, very
clean with no slums.
Love always,
Kemp and Rea.
