I can't think of anything [ would be less interested in than old dry bones of' fish, Lut that only adds to the delight I ex- perience when | see Mrs! Aldréd's works of art which® 'grow_out of her marvelous ability to produde beauty from anything as unattractive as carp bones. As | recall the sight of a carp, 1 think of 'the homeliest, ugliest: thing I" have "ever seen and when Mrs, ""Aldréd shows me" a beautiful picture of spring blossoms in"all the® delicate tones of our true flowers and tells me that the blossoms are, all made from the bones of the carp, - = fast, covers many miles and distrib- I am amazed. A few yemrs ago the Port-Perry Fair had a class in hobbies for "Original hobby of material available in the community" and from this idea Mrs. Aldred who had been expressing herself in shell work developed the idea of using fish bones and fish scales in an artistic way. The hobby has become a prize winner and takes the ribbons at Oshawa, Port Perry, Lindsay and Toronto Exhibition. These scale- bone art pieces were displayed at an exhibit in Vancouver and at the time of writing they are in Toronto at an international handicraft exhibition, At the Ex. in the summer Mrs, Aldred entered a special class where people over fifty were to demonstrate their hobbies she took fourth prize in a competition of thirty-seven entries. The enterprise is also a paying proposition in a monetary way which adds again to the satisfaction and all in all adds up to something mighty interesting and something which is a big attraction in the community, Years ago Mrs, Aldred took art lessons from McGillvray: Knowles in Toronto and when her life led her to the farm and growing children she gradually let her work slide a bit but as the years passed and her responsibilities eased she tuned once again to her love of art for that sense of personal triumph whic h everyone yearns for but not every- "one accomplishes, Everyone would enjoy the touch of quiet country which is de- + picted in her placques. Most of her scenes I am sure are inspired by Lake Scugog Shore line and birches, and_a love of sail-boats are very much in evidence, The little sail boats which enhance so many pictures are taken from the skeleton of mudeats.- The dainty butterflies which flit about the blossoms come from a sucker and a special bone from the sucker under the artists touch becomes a graceful fern, I'ull blown roses and apple blossoms are made from the carp scales and head bones. The bones, which made the blossoms are washed and dried and when they curl then they are painted, shellacked to make up the needed tones. There are samples of Mis. Aldred's fi scale hung work all' over, from California to the Canadian West and a good deal has gone to England. She makes placques, in brooch fashion. large, for wall "decorations and small to wear She designs 'place cards and novelties. She has recently finished a beautiful jewel box handsomely decorated with tish-bone work and it certainly is a There is also among' the lovely thing, items an attractive lamp, square and large with a differant scene on each of the four sides. The trees and flowers are done in relief with the fish bones and seales. It was so interesting talking to 'Mrs, Aldred and listening to her tell with lively interest the ~"['he advancing years hold no story of her unusual hobby. Tderrul ung eis Tor anyone to have sich an interest in a lifetime, anxiety for anyone who. can have so much real pleasure alone with her own mind. What a won- Perhaps after you read this you will look for some of this unique art and study it for a minute to appreciate what Mrs. Aldred has done with such homely objects. 2 'ONE-MAN OPERATOR VISITS HERE ON TRIP TO PLUG CHEESE SALES 'A_"One-Man Operator", that's the !

"Once in organizing the Michigan State Fair he said, "Turn it over to the Mayors of the state towns and cities. They did and 'the fair was a tremendous success. At another time, the robust and lively gentleman, talking to the of- ficials of the International Bridge, suggested that the: Mayors of West- ern Ontario should form-an opening celebration by forming a parade back and forth across the bridge. The aut- omotive manufacturers supplied 1,600 new cars for the gala celebration, Then when the farmers of Essex and Kent ist, 'and Cis sti] going strong, |. counties had a surplus erop of onfons And now to the cheese situation-- It was when this rambling salesman was gathering material for a dairy "cattle hook, which he "had 80 pages -completely--printed- when -the British cheese market was closed against our product the cattle breeders said, "Wil- ford, our cheese surplus is more im- portant than the printing of a picture hook of dairy cattle. What can you do about that 10,000,000 of cheese?" His answer was very quick and to the point. "If you divide it among 14,000,000 population of Canada you would not have a pound for each one.' They said, "Do it" and now he is do- ing it, And he hopes to dd. it--by music, for this market specialist never uses the same formula twice. This time he suggests that villages, towns and cities from coast to coast join with the farmers, put on entertainment for the young people, business and' farm: ers. The owners of dance halls are offering free of charge the space, he says. ' Two pounds of any kind of cheese from any merchant will be accompan- ied by a sales slip. It will serve as a ticket to any dairy entertainment, Wilford suggest that radio music be used, After four weeks of steady driving from town to town and from city to city he sees many signs of a .

Mr. Wilford has no connection with any one organization, That is so he can invite all organizations to parti: cipate in any activity that is of in- terest to each one or all of them. "Agricultural production needs salesmen," claims this energetic per- sonality. "The farmer has improved the production of meat and milk, The. 'dealer has improved his packaging and transportation. Selling organiza- tions need fo speed up. 'If no more orders eome in by mall, we must go after sales." This was, Wilford's part- ing shot as he rushed out of our of: fice on his way from town to town, This rambling salesman rambles utes ideas as he rambles. He says he gathers ideas as he goes from place to place. No doubt he gathered a few ideas during his brief visit to Port Perry-and the writer knows he left some -ideas here, ee at Cedar Creek A cuchre and draw for the quilt will be held in the Cedar Creek school on Friday evening.
