ARTS AND CRAFTS
Report of the Work of the Club
the Past Year.

The Woodstock Arts and Crafts
association reports very successful
year in the work accomplished.
At the recent annual meeting Rev.
Benjamin Swift was reelected presi-
dent, Rev. Ii. l.. Garfield secretary,
and the latter will also act as treas
urer, as Col. F. S. Billings will be
in Europe the the coming year.
Eighty people received instruc-
tions in one or another of the classes
that were conducted. The classes
maintained were carpentry, drawing,
basketry, raffia, cane and rush seat
ing and pottery. The latter was
taken up last year for the first time.
Much interest was shown in the
work and excellent and artistic
pieces were produced.
The Saturday afternoon teas are a
new feature introduced during the
year. The sales department, estab-
lished early in the winter under the
name of Woodstock Craft Shop, is
achieving surprising success.
Already no less than 81 people have
consigned to it their handiwork
which has fulfilled the requirements
Of the exacting standards of the jury
to whom all articles must be sub
initted before being placed on sale.
Sales amounting to over $500 were
made during the first six months of
the existence of the department, and
through its encouragement home in
dustries are being established i'll re-
mote localities and many isolated
people by this means find another
opportunity of getting in touch with
an outside world The headquarters
of the Arts and Crafts work has
come to be in real sense social
center. Here meet the senior and
junior branches Of the YIN @. A.,
The Kings Daughters. The Mothers
League, and here meet committees
and here lectures are given, food
sales held, and various groups of
people assemble who do not require
the accommodations of larger
auditorium. In short the Arts and
Crafts association is performing q
distinct service for the community
and is thrice worthy of the generous
support of our towns people,
The association intends the COM
ing year to continue it's work along
the lines followed last year, but may
add new features as opportunity or
need may suggest.
Following is summarized report
of the treasurer, exhibiting the re-
