Workshop and Machinery
Established in Basement.

In the basement of her home on
Moorland lane, Mrs. Colt has estab-
hshed a modern workshop, where
benches, lathes and tools of every
kind, as well as boxes and strips of
pewter, are always available for
every member of the family.
Handsome bowls, large platters
bread and butter plates and julep
and wine glasses are among the
many finished articles which Mrs
Colt displays. The glasses, she ex-
planned. are produced by spinning
the natural pewter very thin.
Mrs. Colt believes the encourage
ment of handcrafts, such as pewter
making, among American children
would assist in the training of future
skilled workers. The dearth OF
skilled mechanics for the national
emergency program might have
been lessened if young people had
been more widely trained in hand
crafts. Mrs. Colt believes.
Il know my son could be trained
in a short time to become a tool de-
signer," she remarked, merely
through his skill in pewter making
His hands have become accustomed
to work and his eye is trained"
Sees Creative Work
AS Escape From Worry.
She also advises handcraft work
for people who are bored, or who
wish for pleasant and useful occupa-
ton.
IF you're doing something ere.
ative, you get back to the funda.
mentalS of life, particularly in time!

ing Center at 1917 Fourth stree
NV. There she does all the pewter
melting necessary in the completion
of certain articles.
Mrs. Colt plans to hold benefit
sale of several hundred articles oi
her own manufacture sometime il
the near future. Proceeds, she eX-
plains, will go toward the support o1
the Craft Training Center to enable
them to continue training others ir
the handcraftS which have giver
her so much pleasure.
