A Virginia woman who helps sup
port her two young children by
weaving white oak baskets will be
among the exhibitors at the Interna-

aid of her husband, an unemployed
electrician, who is on the emergency

4 and S, she entered in the kinder
garten and first grade, so they could
get book learning" early in life.
Two or three times a week Mrs.
Myers drives a battered automobile
out into Maryland or Virginia to
gather the oak for her baskets. She
cuts the wood herself and fashions
it into strips suitable for basket weav-
ing. She sells the finished product
wherever she can for whatever she
can.
I'VE must live, you know, until times
get better" she explained with a smile
Mrs. Myers came to Washington
three years ago from New Market,
Va, in the Shenandoah Valley. A
little over a year ago she moved into
the alley loft. Then it was Just one

My husband and I built the parti-
tions out of discarded lumber and old
box wood. We made some of the doors
and some were given to lis. Then we
got couple of stoves. discarded ones,
but better than the one we had last
year.
When a reporter and the principal
Of the Americanizati0n School called

Work to Be Exhibition.
Mrs. Myers is proud of her basket
weaving and will show visitors how
1t is done during the two-day exhi-
bition. Among others who will eX-
hibit are Franklin Williams. artist,
who tramped here from California
and is staying at the Transient Relief
