At that time, one was moved to remark that surely York might well earn the title of the "‘Borough of Reâ€"created People.‘" Support of this theory ‘has come this week with a visit to Weston Municipal building, where on Tuesday night at 7:30 the Craft Workshop is in session. Coming in from a rainy, dreary evening, into a brightly lit scene of bustling activity, we found easels set up and a group of ladies, under the direction of Miss Madelaine McDowell painting, in India ink and tempera paint, an arâ€" tistically arranged still life. Soon they will be working in oils. On the other side of the room, a larger group was working with leather. An array of tools before them, and using heavy marble slabs to work on, these ladies were busy on a variety of projects, many of which looked â€" excitingly â€" like make most attractive gifts. The Weston end of the borough‘s recreational program is under the direction of Mrs. Meadows, and on meeting her before we left the workshop, we were struck by her enâ€" thusiastic approach to the many varied activities now In the building at the same time there was a meeting of the Bridge Club, a sportâ€" sman‘s group meeting above, and on the top floor, bandpractice. A busy spot, our municipal building. in full swing. The Craft Workshop could be described as a meeting place where individual skills are enâ€" couraged without rigid regimentation, and Mrs. Meadows views it as a place which can "do everything for everyone, now and in the future." Christmas gifts for lucky recipients. There were moccasins, handbags, monogrammed backs for wallets, and one lady had been making molded trays in a variety of shapes and sizes.
