Lively Interest At
Craft Mart Meeing
L. C. Adams, Farm Agent,
called a meeting of persons in¬
terested in handicrafts, No¬
vember 13, This organizational
meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. W. C. Cureton, as a
central meeting place for the
women—and men— of the val¬
ley with meetings to be held
later on Lookout and on Sand
Mountain. This first meeting
was at ended by Mr. and Mrs.
Bill Pullen and Mrs. Word, of
Morganville, Mr. and Mrs. E.
G, Wright, Mesdames Hugh
Clark, Dudley Cureton, James
Morrison, Jack White, Henry
Gross, Rev. Tony Dyess, of
Trenton; and Mrs. Homer Hall
and Misses Cureton represent¬
ing Rising Fawn.
Mr. Bignam, Assistant Farm
Agent, showed a deligh.ful pic¬
ture of the Highland Industries
at work creating their exquisite
models. Ceramics, wood carv¬
ing, weaving and all kinds of
sewing, knitting and crocheting
were shown as articles in which
tourists would be interested.
Rev. Dyess showed his most at¬
tractive collection of driftwood.
Mrs. James Morrison empha¬
sized the fact that all articles
r
should be of top quality and
should be passed on by a com¬
mittee to be chosen to act as
judges. Mrs. Dudley Cureton
told of tentative plans made by
her and Dudley for a gift shop
in response to requests received
by tourists who stop at their
tourist courts. Rev. Dyess told
of classes in ceramics being
held in Chattanooga as being
advantageous to those interest¬
ed in developing a creative art
from local clays and suggested
that is would be worthwhile to
inquire as to the cost of an
electric kiln used in fi^jng
clays.
Bill Pullen made an excellent
suggestion, that a survey be
made of the entire county be¬
fore more definite plans were
laid. Anyone would be welcome
to display any creditable arti¬
cle he has made himself (she
and herself); entries to be for
display as well as sale, the point
being to encourage people to
learn crafts and to find plea¬
sure, as well as added income,
in a creative hobby.
