TÉE SKIN 0F OUR TEETH Somne time earlier this year, Clarke High School presented Thorton Wilder's "The Skin of -Our Teeth" on stage and having attended we thought it was a most creditalîie Production for the students at the school and, their director, John Amesbury. When we noticed that Shaw Festival at Niagara-On- The-Lake had included this play in their 1984 schedule, it drew some interest for us withi the thought that perhaps we shouid attend to see how the amateurs stack up with the professionals. Wth somte negotiations, Arnold and Nancy Wallace and Donna and I arrived in Niagara-On-The- Lake last Friday afternoon to take in the event aiong with dinner cut and a night stay-over in ,the smail community. To say the least Iwas look- ing forward to the night and the play and even, before leavîng, went over the pic- tures and write-up of the local Clarke High produc- tion. 'm not about to take anything away from either production but there were some interesting dîfferences, at least from my viewpoint, a raw amateur. In the three set designs, the Shaw Festival whouid have a sizeable budget and especîaily for the Atlantic City Board- walk scene. But take nothing away from the Clarke High School scenery where in- Eight, years ago Helen Braithwaite began to suspect her batik dyes and waxes were affecting her health.

Helen now has genuity, paint brush and reams of paper along with ar- tistic ability developed im- agination for those in at- tenance and for me was as ef- fective as that on stage at the Shaw festival. As to the play I'm sure I enijoyed the student perfor- mances as well as the profes- sionai and 1 am quite sure the Atlantic City scene had a lit- te more spice and tempo than at Shaw's even though the Shaw performance brought in somne dance routines that were lacking at Clarke. The show perfor- mance did however bring the sequel weil into focus. l'ni not sure just how weil the Orono group enjoyed the play but comment was made thiat they do enjoy the comn- edy presented at the Marigold Dinner Theatre in Whitby. t just s0 happens we had been to Whitby the previous Fni- day evening and there were a good number of laughs.

Produc- Ontario Lung Association. Powdered clays used in ceramics and pottery contain varying proportions of free silîca, which if inhaled yeàr after year, may lead to "pot- ters' rot"a respiratory disease that takes at least 10 years to develop. Chronîc respiratory disease can also be-caused by inhaling certain wood dust such as American and African mahogany and western red cedar. Painters too, are at risk of exposure to hazardous- materials. Lead based pigments should not be used. Accidentai ingestion of these harmful pigments or even badi habits such as put- ting the paint handie (or tip) in your mouth can be dangerous. Curik also points out that removing paint can be as hazardous as applying it and here it is not only the painter that encounters this hazard but also the furniture re'finisher. "Many paint removers contain the solvent, methylene chioride, which, when inhaled in sufficient, amounts is converted to car- bon monoxîde in the blood. This reduces the oxygen car- rying capacity of the blood and thus puts certain groups such as people with heart or lung conditions, the ,elderly, children and smokers, at risk," says Curik. Athough the hazards for people invoîved in arts anid crafts, either professionalîy or as a hobby, seemn many, the risks can be reduced or eliminated by knowing and using safety precautions. The Lung Association has produced a booklet called "Health Ha7ards tIn Arts and Crafts". A few, safety precau- tions covered in the booklet are: 1 .
