hie The Pilot Club of Oshawa and District, as their Cen- tennial project, decided to build a bird bath for Hills- dale Manor, and this past week the bath was present- ed. They commissioned Al- >» bert Bull, 86, of French street, to design and build the bath, which took more than six months to com- plete on a part-time basis. Mr. Bull built the bath of his home.

Mr. and Mrs, K. E. Sproule, Kathryn and David, of Pointe Claire, Quebec, spent a recent weekend with Mrs. Sproule's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Cuthbertson, Mary street, on the occasion of their 45th wed- ding anniversary. Mrs, Violet Skerratt, Port Perry, was the area's top win- ner in the annual Canadian Na- tional Exhibition Handicrafts competitions, with three first prizes and a second. This year the competition was mucl: keener than other years, with the Centennial celebrations renewing interest in the handi- jerafts that have been handed down from the pioneers, who jcame from many lands, bring- Jing their skills with them. | "From nearly every com- | munity in Canada, entries in the Port Perry Woman Tops Area In CNE Handicraft Competition commeowmmennenemmmms!many heritage crafts poured cement, in the basement of | ##?*rtereeneneter : '/into the Exhibition," says Mrs. Life-like Puppets Act Out Stories As Indian Lore By ELINOR READING EDMONTON (CP)--Butter- flies chase each other as an elderly chief sits erect among his great-grandchildren and tells them stories of the years before the treaty. The mountain shapes in the background are the same that rise above the Stony reserve at Morley, 35 miles west of Calgary in the foothills of the Rockies. But the chief and children --and the butterflies--are marionettes. They represent a year's co- eration between the Indians of the Morley reserve and a handful of children and adults 200 miles away, the Edmon- ton Puppeteers. The group, formed two years ago, set aside fairy-tale productions this year to work on Walking Buffalo's Head- dress, a tale of Stony history and customs as told by their retired chief Walking Buffalo. It begins with his great- grandfather, Young Porcu- pine, who learned in a vision to understand the language of animals and ends with the 1877 treaty which brought peace between Indians and whites in Western Canada, LOST IN STEAM Much of the script is in the 97 - year - old leader's own words: "The coldest winter I know, I was hunting in the moun- tains west of Red Deer. It was so cold that when we kill an animal we can't skin him --build big fire and heat knife . So cold you can't see blaze of fire--just steam." The puppets' faces were copied from old pictures gleaned in libraries and his- torical collections And the Stony costumes were beaded and fringed in painstaking detail by Walking Buffulo's daughter, Mary Kootenay. Mrs, Heimo Bielenstein, organizer and director of the puppeteers, held up a 24-inch marionette and pointed to a tiny fringe on the back of each moccasin. It was barely a quarter of an inch long "These are especially for the Stony Indians,"' she said. "No other tribes use them." The figures of the Blackfoot | Peigan | chief Eagletai! lack the chief Crowfoot and fringe. A medicine men puppet and a mother with papoose wear no beads, in accordance with Stony custom. TAPED ON RESERVE Drums and chanting for the | traditional chicken dance and tea dance were taped on the reserve, and the slow, gentle voice of one puppet is Mrs. Kootenay's. On a visit to Edmonton, she recorded the voice and checked the script for accuracy. A centennial grant from the City of Edmonton helped buy materials for the production, which uses more than 40 pup- pets. But the energy behind it belongs to graceful, dark- haired Mrs. Bielenstein, or Mrs. B as her young puppe- teers call her. She moulded the asbestos- composition heads, made the puppet bodies and intricate controls, painted backdrops, and recruited actors and neighbors to record the dia- logue She dressed the non-Indian puppets--mounted police, set- tlers, Governor Laird--and made the animals, from a | '|Blsa Jenkins, Manager of the '|'Women's Activities.

HUES VIVID Stockings with intense colors should be washed in mild suds and cool water. Net stockings may be treated a bit more roughly than nylons, but they do snag, and care should be taken not to catch them on sharp objects. If a hole does appear, it should be mended promptly. When washing fragile stock- ings, be sure there are no parti- cles of household cleanser in the washbasin. Many common household cleansers contain besulphate, something which harms nylon yarns. Wash stock- ings soon as possible after wearing to eliminate perspira- tion and dirt, which cause an to wear out more eas- iy. |heavier texture, most of the new stockings are run-resistant, if not actually un-runnable, and can stand much longer wear than the sheer nylons.

Dear Ann Landers: Any housewife who lets a 300-pound relative in spike heels ruin her beautiful floors twice, and goes to the expense of sanding and refinishing each time--and then lets the big moose in the house again so she can ruin her floors a third time--is a damned fool. The only bigger damned fool is Ann Landers who told the woman that floors are to walk on, and if all the woman did was walk on the floors she shouldn't complain. I am sure thousands of other readers also thought you were crazy but this letter will never appear in print because you always have to be right.

Toronto Reneges On Council Fees PETERBOROUGH (CP) An official of the Ontario Teachers' Federation said Mon- day the OTF's Ontario Educa- tional Research _ council returned cheques to six Toronto school boards this year because they were too small. OTF secretary Nora Hodgins told a meeting of the council's board of governors at nearby Lake Catchacoma said the council this year dropped its $50 a year membership fee for boards in favor of a four-cent- per-student levy with a top rate of $1,000. The Toronto boards refused to go along with the increase. They each sent $50 to the coun- cil and the cheques were returned.
