Weaving Exhibit From Virginia City Comes To Craft Shop An exhibit of interest to all those who are fond of weaving will be on display in the Craft Shop of the YWCA beginning today, Decem- ber 17, at the regular Craft Shop hours. ; This exhibit of handweaving which has been sent out by the Shuttle-Craft Guild, Viginia City, Montana, is called a study project because each separate item 1s de- signed to illustrate some specific point or points to the handweaver. It is not an art exhibit of hand- weaving to be viewed with awe and wonder. It is intended to be studied as models of well-designed, well woven yardages and articles which any good handweaver can produce on a good home loom. To this end the exhibit in- cludes weaving on from two fo twelve harnesses, utilizing a wide range of readily available mater- ials, and many different loom tech- niques. Each article is herewith described in detail with materials used, sources of materials, warp setting, reed weaving technique, reference to specific directions. finishing process, estimated cest and selling price. Most of the ar- ticles are the experimental models made in the Shuttle-Craft Guild studio, as the basis for weaving instruction and directions given in the Shuttle-Craft bulletin, Shuttle- Craft styles, and various Shuttle- Craft pamplets. It is hoped that these models may be found useful and inspirational and will help all those interested in weaving to broaden both the scope and the quality of their work. This exhibit will be on view every day in the Craft Shop until December 28. Mrs. Ross Glover Honored by W.M.S.

That is why, I suppose {I have enjoyed my many years as | |a trustee on the Oshawa Board of | | Education," said Mrs. B. C. Colpus | | when over a cup of tea in her apartment | recently. | Mrs, Colpus seems 'particularly | fitted to be a leading figure on the | Board of Education -and credits | Mrs, C. M. Rogers, the first presi- | dent of the Lyceum Club and Wo- | : men's Arts Association, with in- spiring her to run for a seat on the | % Board. She was first elected in 1931 by | acclamation and has been so faith- | ful a member that in 21 years she | has never missed a single Board or | Committee meeting, nor has she ever been late. She has twice been chairman of the Board, in 1937 and | again in 1948, and is at present chairman of the Management Com- mittee and a member on the Exe- cutive of the Directorate of Ontar- | io Public Schools Trustees and | Ratepayers, | Actively engaged affairs since her girlhood, Mrs. Colpus' first experience was as a kindergarten teacher in her home town, Surrey, Engldnd, and also {in London. She ,wss married and | lived in Kingston-on-Thames, Sur- rey, until 1912 when she and her | husband came to Canada and set- !tled the following year in Oshawa {where he was the proprietor of a | printing business. Mr. Colpus, who died in 1941, served on the Board of Education for a one-year period. Also active in Home and School since 'its inception in Oshawa in 1921, Mrs. Colpug was the first sec- retary of Centre Street Home and School Association and its second president. She was vice-president of the *Home and School Count¢il for nine years and president for three, and is' chairman of Oshawa Educa- | tional, Association. On her completion of 29 years with the Home and School she was presented with the. Sapphire Pin which is its highest honor and is awarded for outstanding work in Home and School, and recently she was honored by her fellow trustees on the Board of Education who pre- sented her with an illuminated scroll and a gold wrist watch. During her term of office had experienced five thrills, reminisced. Her first thrill | come with her appointment as {chairman; the second when she had presided at the opening of a new , Home Economics centre in Sduth Simcoe School; the third the for she she had he -shened gontraet gonraet {when she signed when MRS.

Education does not take up all Mrs. Colpus' time, apparently, for | she was for many years a member of the Oshawa Advisory Board of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and is at present its | vice-chairman. A member of the | | Church of England she is a faith- | ful attendant at St. George's Angli- | {can Church and is a member of its Advisory Board and a past presi- | dent of its Women's Guild. Kindergarten teaching evidently runs in the Colpus family. Mrs. Col- pus' daughter, Constance, is a kin- dergarten teacher at Duncan B. Hood School, in York Township, and she has one brother, Mr. Ernest Irving, at present musical director at the Arthur Rank Studios in Eal- ing, London, and author of many well. known compesitions including the musical production of 'The Great Mr. Handel.' A well known figure all over Osh- awa and especially up. around the Agnes and Elgin districts as she [takes her daily strolls with "Gin- | ger," her faithful canine compan- | fon, Mrs. Colpus stated she, was en- | joying life to the full and looking {forward to many more years oi) educational "attivities, | kah ering expressed a | exchange of MRS.
