Italy Make Colanders and
Sleeves.

Collestrada, Italy.-The Junior Red
Cross school at Collestrada, Italy, is
making kitchen utensils from Osicrs
and withes to supply the countryside
with the hardware that 1t is impos-
sible to buy from stamping mills in
Italy since the war. Collestrada is in
the heart of Umbria, where straw
plating and osier weaving are two Of
the principal industries. The orphans
at the COllestrada school make colan-
ders and sleeves and market baskets in
sufficient quantities to furnish the
neighboring villages.
The reed receptacles are woven very
tight and serve for flour sitting. This
Is an important utensil in part Of
Italy where the -four is ground on
hand grist mills and contains many
coarse particles. Another method Of
making these sifters is to weave three
thicknesses Of horsehair across a
wooden hoop, which Sits as fine as the
best articles manufactured with steel
wire.
The woven receptacles Of Umbria
are not exported from Italy this year
because the country can use the en-
tire output to replace those formerly
made OF metal by Italian stamp mills.
Even the large output Of the Junior
Red Cross colony at Collestrada,
which approximates hundred paniers
