- PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1950 In Jhe dome "No Halifax "Professor" Seeks - Needle-Wielding Successor By H. R. HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Halifax (CP).--Women and the current housing shortage are play- ing major roles in stifling what to Prof. F. A. Baldwin is the noblest of the arts--tattooing. The professor, dean of Canada's tattoo artists, is sick, in mind as well as in body. Now 67 and bed- ridden, the artist admits that his days of needle wielding are numbered. He's worried. Who will carry on his work of indelibly imprinting entwining hearts, schooners and the Lord's Prayer on sailors' chests, broods Baldwin, as he lies in a small room back of his Halifax waterfront studio. There are few candidates for the title "professor" nowadays. 'The dean blames the women for the shortage. Most of a tattooist's masterpieces are created at night, when sailors are off watch. Wo- men object to the night work, Prof. Baldwin contends, and discourage their artistically-inclined spouses. Landlords, taking advantage of the housing shortage, have added to the prospective tattoo artist's prob- lems. High rents and lack of enthusiasm on the part of property owners for his art haven't improved the picture for the tattooist. Pressed, Prof. Baldwin will admit that perhaps the artist's habit of packing up and moving .on to greener pastures several times a year might influence landlords. Dean Baldwin can' recall when there were four studios on Mont- in all of Montreal there is only one full-time artist plying the needle. There's one consolation, that city's lone tattooist--Joe Lavoie--is one of Baldwin's pupils. One the fingers of one hand Prof. Baldwin® can count the artists now tattooing full time throughout Canada. There is Leo Baumier in Quebec City, who studied under the Halifax dean. In Vancouver two more needlers work f.1l time. There is no professor in the port of Saint John, N.B. Prof. Baldwin is puzzled by the lack of interest in the profession. He says there is ample opportunity for a young lad artistically inclined. When he started "jagging" in 1899 while with the Imperial Army in India, he used a shark's tooth, plied by hand. In the old days sailors wanted the entire back and chest covered with anything from ser- pents to ships. The profession is a cinch today, compared with the days of the hand needle and tavern business. Nowadays tattooists have the elec- tric needle studios, and the demand is for small jobs, suchh as entwin- ing hearts, instead of full-rigged ships. Though bedridden, Prof. Baldwin doesn't think of retiring. "I can't wait to get back to the needle," he says, peering eagerly toward the Dutch door leading to the studio. "There's a religious-minded fellow in Halifax with half the Ascension of Our Lord on his back. I got to finish up the job. "When I get through with him he'll have 48 angels to carry real's St. Lawrence Boulevard. Now around. Adjudicator Would Help Amateurs, Never Deride May Criticize But By VAL SEARS Vancouver--(CP)--Maxwell Wray of London; regional adjudicator of the Dominion Drama Festival, got his start on a starry career by re- fusing a bribe. "The offer was a motorcycle, if I would stay off the stage," he told an interviewer. "My parents didn't like the stage." * "Jt was an awfully tough choice for a speed-loving 21-year-old, but the theatre won and I don't think I have reason to regret it," he add- ed. The tall, good-looking actor-pro- ducer-director swapped the bike for a career that began in London's Old Vic theatre 25 years ago and is reaching its "nth" milepost this year as he opens in London with his own company. His work as adjudicator in the regional drama festival presenta- tions began here Monday night when he delighted a packed house with a two-hour "Address to the Players" following the presentation of the Everyman Theatre entry "Arms and the Man". His adjudication he admits is not fn the traditional manner. "I'm not here to criticize," he told the actors and audience, "but rather to help you. I want you to pick my brains and my experience. I want to help Canadian amateur drama." His qualifications as adjudicator include a term as actor at the Old Vic, two years as stage manager of a West End company, four years as producer-director of the Sheffield Repertory Company, a term with Sir Barry Jackson's famous Birm- ingham Repertory Theatre and now a director of his own company. He can claim as his "finds" act- resses Vivien Leigh and Greer Gar- son. "I told Greer to fall down and #tick her legs in the air in the first play. She was an instant success." In his Canadian tour, which in- cludes nearly 80 performances, he | will look primarily for "correct im- terpretation of the part." "I'm going to tell them when it's bad but I'm not going to deride anyone. No one will be made to look ridiculous, but neither am I going to | pat everyone on the back." | Fathers Too Hopeful Spinsters Helpless London (CP).--A women's voca- tional officer says that joblessness among spinsters is often the father's fault. Miss I. F. Hilton, secretary of the Women's Employment Federation, told a London conference that many fathers do not bother to train their daughters for a profession because they are convinced they will marry. "No matter what happens to other people's daughters," she said, "they have & pathetic faith that their own daughter is certain to marry. "I do wish they would come to my office and see some of the middle-aged spinsters whose present plight is directly due to their fathers." The important thing, she said,-is to educate women to stand on their own feet, "whether they marry or not." PROTECTED QUEBEC The Quebec Act, passed in 1774 !by Britain after the conquest of {the French colony, was aimed at preserving the old French civiliza- tion against changes by English settlers.

Knew Press' Power Girl Got Back Skis Port Frances, Ont.

Increase Demand For Utility Wear Longon (CP). -- An economic pointer -in- Britain for 1950 is the increased demand for utility clothing. Manufactured to gavernment-dic- tated standards and sold at fixed prices, the better grades of utility clothing have come into such heavy demand manufacturers say there is a danger of supplies drying up. They have asked the Board of Trade to allow increases in the price ceilings, arguing: "Fixed ceiling prices are making it almost impossible to manufacture goods for the price. If the ceiling prices are not raised it will hit us and the wholesalers so severely that it will no longer pay us to make utility goods." Australian raw wool prices in- creased about 30 per cent, due principally to increased purchases by the United States, who was more than willing to pay higher prices than Britain. Manufacturers now buying cloth for autumn wear are having con- siderable difficulty in obtaining it from the mills. Wholesalers report that they have been working on a reduced profit margin since the September utility - price cuts im- posed by the government. W. T. Caves, secretary of the Wholesale Textile Association, re- ported: : "We believe than an Increase of between 10 and 15 per cent would see the situation stabilized. "While the price and standard of utility for spring is assured, we may well see higher prices next autumn." Highlight of spring utility fa- shions will be the "duet suit" with one jacket and two skirts." One skirt will be pleated, the other slim and the jacket pockets will be detachable, to give a slim jacket to wear with the slim skirt. Uhe latest style of boxy jacket with * dropped shoulder line and slim-cut skirt will be produced in many different two-plece suits, priced approximately £7 ($21.70). Sizes ranges will be widened to meet complaints that there wexé not enough large sizes. But women with outsize figures will have to pay more. Coats in the 34 to 42- inch hip range will cost about, £8. For 44 to 48-inch hip models the 15 oz. per dozen. price will jump to £9. * | | The Experts Say | of | By KAY REX Ottawa (CP). -- The housewife | may not believe it, but experts say | the apple now is considered almost | as versatile as the potato. | Home economists of the con- | sumer section, Dominion depart- ment of agriculture, say that while | | apples still hold first place for pies | and desserts, they also have gained favor in salads and pickles.
