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.

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.
