(larke County Teachers Hold Three Day
Art Workshop At Demonstration School
. Twenty - eight Clarke County
teachers who have been attending
the Art Workshop for five hours a
day for the past three days, will
have an opportunity to evaluate
the work that they have done
toward the close of the workshop
tonight.
The sessions of the workshop
have been held in the cafeteria of
the Demonstration School, located
on Coordinate Campus and Miss
Fannie Lee Boyd, Instructional
Supervisor of Clarke County
Schools has been instrumental in
organizing and executing the pro
gram, The sessions have been go
ing on from 3:30-5:30 in the after
noons and from 6-9 in the even
ings. Supper has been served
each evening in the lunchroom for
those who are unable to get home
and back. This schedule makes
for a long day for the teachers but
they seem to thrive on it. -
Miss Elizabeth Belt, of the Bin
ney and Smith Co., has been con
ducting the Workshop and today
expressed her gratitude with the
response that has been manifest
by the teachers. Miss Belt, who
covers a territory stretching over
South Carolina, Florida, and Geor
gia, has quite a bit of experience
with teaching teachers how to bet
ter their professional status by the
use of more and better art work.
According to Miss Belt, who has
her M. A. from Columbia Univers
ity, her A. B. from Catawba Col
lege and who has done work at
Peabody College, the primary pur
pose of the workshop is to encour
age the use of art in the classroom
by familiarizing the teachers with
the latest developments in the
field of class room art. “By using
the materials themselves, the
teachers become less hesitant to
turn them over to the students to
work with,” she said.
Miss Belt also stressed the fact
that by student participation the
entire class is afforded an oppor
tunity to express themselves. Much
of the work that is being done in
the workshop was calculated to
remove patterned ideas and real
ism (to an extent) from the teach
ers’ minds.
“Seribble Paintings” |
By the use of “scribble paint- |
ings” (which, incidentally, the
teachers love to do), a freedom of
movement is encouraged which is
invaluable to the beginning child
and to latter day high school stu
dents.
Upon being questioned last night,
as to the value and type of work
done, the teachers were lavish
with their praise of the program
and of the supervisor, Miss Belt.
A stencil pencil (tradenamed
“AmazArt” by Binney and Smith
Co.) was the medium with which
most of the teachers had learned
to work. Most of the ladies were
wearing aprons which had been
decorated with the pencils in at
tractive classroom designs. The
pencil, according to one of the
teachers, is equally effective upon
glass, cloth, wood, and tile.
Paper Figures
Paper mache figures and flow
ers lined the work tables last night
and bore evidence to the fact that
those enrolled are “learning by
doing.” For most of the teachers
it was their first experience with
paper mache but the figures
ranged from simple to extremely
complex designs. Especially {etch~
ing in the paper mache figures
were the Santa Claus,4the ape in
man’s clothing, and the traveling
salesman which was decked out in
polka dot shirt and sported &
black hat. Animals were made by
twisting newspaper and painting
them over. Mats and ash trays
were designed and decorated with

the AmazArt pencil.
Miss Belt expressed her hopes
that all of the teachers enrolled
would have an opportunity to
work in each of the media being
offered by the end of the three
day workshop.
Evaluation Period !
Among statements which Miss
Belt expects to hear at the evalua
tion period are: “We’ve learned to
get along better and work together
better by doing this kind of thing”’;
“I'll be more tolerant with awk
ward children in the future”; and
“I’ll try to get more art integrated
into my classroom now that I'm
more familiar with it.”
The Binney and Smith Co. is
primarily a school supply com
pany and specializes in materials
for the student that are more dur
able, brighter, and cheaper., All
of the supplies for the workshop
have been donated by the Binney
and Smith Company as well as the
services of Miss Belt in conduct
ing the sessions. Teachers were
asked to bring cloth, scissors and
old newpapers.
From the happily busy faces of
the teachers enrolled in the course
and from the array of attractive
work that has been done, one
would rightly draw the conclusion
that the Art Workshop has done
a great deal toward the goal of
making art a more fundamental
part of the school system.
The thanks of all those partici
pating in the program were ex
tended last night to the Binney
and Smith Co., Miss Belt, and to
Miss Fannie Lee Boyd for her im
portant part in planning and exe
cuting the Worksho;;.

Part-Time Jobs
For The Women
Are you a married woman, over
35 years as age, with some full
time work experience, but cur
rently ‘'employed oh a part-time
basis?
If you meet the above qualifica
tions then you are an average
part-time worker, according to the
United States Department of La
bor’s Women’s Bureau.
The Bureau has just published
the findings of a 10-city survey on
the part-time utilization of wo
men workers which shows that
less than a third of the 3,385 es
tablishments visited used women
regularly on part-time schedules
although all of them employed
women extensively as full-time
workers. In the 1,071 establish
ments which were employing wo
men on short workweeks, the
part-timers accounted for a tenth
of the total woman employment
and were filling 80 different occu
pations, Establishments covered
represented many major industries
and services, most of which are
important employers of women
workers. Not included were man
ufacturing, agriculture, and other
such fields as domestic service and
door-to-door selling.
“Part-time work,” according to
Miss Frieda S. Miller, Director of
the Women’s Bureau, “is a long
established practice in many bus
iness firms and community agen
cies but, during this period of
emergency, it becomes increasing
ly important. It can release a
great variety of work skills pos
sessed by thousands of housewives
and retired persons who are not
available for full-time employ
ment., Thus, many full-time work
ers can be drawn into more essen
tial and demanding jobs without
completely disrupting the many
‘business and social services which
a highly geared community ex
pects.”
The average part-time worker,
the study revealed, is a married
woman over 35 years of age with
some full-time work experience.
Most of the part-time workers, in
fact, are doing the same kind of
‘work on shorter schedules than
they did as full-time employees,
Few of the women have children,
but family and household respons
ibilities prevent them from work
ing full time.
The part-time workers inter
viewed by Women’s Bureau rep
resentatives stated that they had
sought part-time jobs for one or
more of three reasons: to supple
ment or increase income, to use
their skills and abilities, to have
outside interests. Women with
special technical or professional
training were most concerned to
use their skills and abilities, par=
ticularly nurses, teachers, and so
cial workers. Women whose chil=-
dren were grown or who had no
children found that part-time
work gave them new interests. The
women workers themselves were
enthusiastic about their part-time
work and believed it offered few
disadvantages. |
Over two-thirds of the employ=-
ers interviewed definitely ap-i
proved of the practice of employ
ing part-time workers, , nearly al
third were in favor of part-time
workers but considered them a
mixed blessing; Only a few 0(’!
the employers found the practice |
entirely unsatisfactory. |
The part-time workers were
most numerous in department and
other retail stores, which together
accounted for about a third of the
total. Other chief employers, in
order of their numerical impor=-
tance, were hospitals, sanitariums,
clinics; adult education centers;
eating and drinking places; and
social agencies. Relatively few of
the part-time workers were found
in banking and other financial es=
tablishments, in libraries, and in
advertising, letter service, and
sales promotion. Still smaller was
the representation in medical and
dental laboratories, and in law
yers' and real estate offices.
The part-time schedule most
commonly used by the establish
ments surveyed was the 20-hour
week spread over five days of
four hours each. Hospitals prefer
red the 24-hour week of three 8~
hour days.
Women workers themselves be=-
lieved that their best helps in lo
cating jobs were friends, relatives,
former employers and, sometimes,
their professional or church or
ganization, Seldom, if ever; did
they use public or private em
ployment agencies.
The wealth of skills and ex
perience available to business and
community agencies on a part
time, but not a full-time, basis is
impressive, according to the sur
vey report, and the conclusion is
reached that if work standards are
high enough, part-time work can
be profitable for employers, em
yolyees, and the corpmunity.

tion’s recent convention here.
“Today there are approximately
eight million familiies with in
come of $5,000 a year as compared
with ‘only 1,570,000 10 years ago,”
Ray said. “In the past decade our
total population increased by 14.4
per cent, but individual family
units increased by .25 per cent.
“During the early years of the
past decade, we saw the highest
rate of marriages in history and
a war-baby boom. In another de
cade the war babies will start com
ing of marriageable age and we
can expect the rate of new family |
formations to zoom upward to a
new all-time high.” .

New Turn Of Fashion Wheel
Is Good Luck For Thin Figure
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Beauty Editor
As the wheel of fashion turns,
almost every kind of figure gets
a break once in a while, This is
the year of good fortune for the
bean-pole type.
It you've writhed in past years
over the long, straight skirts that
emphasized every inch of your
long, stringy height, now is the
time to .take K advantage of the
really lovely wide-hemline gowns
that have been designed with just
your figure in mind.
You could hardly ask for better
concealment of your deficiencies
than the heavy, stiff-standing
poodle fabric skirts, the full
pleated jerseys.and the crinoline
supported tatfetas.
You'll be wise to stock up on
this type garment while they're in
plentiful supply, and, when styles
move on, to continue wearing
them. Perhaps you'll want to tuck
away your crinoline, except for
evening wear, but there’s no rea
son why you should allow skirt
fullness to become for you an out
moded style, -
You're in luck this season as far
as your Jangling, skinny arms are
concerned, too, Bulky coat sleeves,
with their voluminous turn-back
cuffs, offer fine camouflage for
bones sheathed in too little flesh.
The long gloves that rise to meet
these cuffs are just right, for you,
too, to hide knobby wrists.
This year’s turtle-necks are ex
lent for you, too. These, like
full skirts, cuffed sleeves, long

Georgians Give To
Heart Association
In Disease Balile
A great many Georgians are
spontaneously sending gifts in
memory of friends or relatives who
have died of heart disease to the
Georgia Heart Association for its
use in combatting this major
health problem.
There has been no campaign to
induce this type of contribution.
The heart association attributes
the recent upsurge in memorial
gifts to public recognition of heart
disease as the leading cause of
death and the natural desire to
have some worth while use made
of the money spent in honoring the
memory of a friend or relative
who has passed away.
To meet this demand, the Geor
gia Heart Association has devised
a tastefully embossed card to ac
knowledge the gift without men
tioning the amount of the contri
bution, The card is sent to the
closest survivor of the deceased

or whoever the donor may desig=
nate. A copy is sent to the person
