An Editorial
What's Your Hobby!
An Editorial

A BOUT a year ago we published
a letter from a reader - a ranch
oma who told of her lonely shut
in winter months - and all through
the year we have continued to re-
ceive replies from others in the
same situation, many telling how
they had made the winter months
rich in accomplishments and usual
1y stressing the importance of some
all-absorbing interest or hobby.
To our attention recently came a
volume, "Hobbies for Everybody"
edited by Ruth Lampland. Enumer-
ated are the various hobbies and
either a statement or an interview
from someone in regard to each. In
this the individual point
of view is given.
A hobby as one, expressed it is,
Something that one does joyously.
1t must not be forced or 1abored.
1t must be freely and cheerfully
entered into" Hobbies are there
fore almost as variable as individ-
uals. There is the collecting of all
sorts of things from buttons to
priceless works of art. The list of
the arts is a long one = cartooning,
etching, leather working, photog-
raphy. Some athletic outlet is all
absorbing for others - folk dane
ing, fishing, skiing, bowling. In the
field of study the list is well nigh
ineXhaustible - astronomy, inte-
rior decorating, particular authors,
travel by way of the arm chair,
music, poetry. For others it may be
community interests or club work.
As a matter of fact, your hobby ex-
presses yourself. It's what you
want to do in your 'time off" and
frequently a hobby leads to a. pro-
fession, especially for a young per-
son.

Household Editor

the members of her household with
the pared out caricatures of individ-
uals they knew. From that she went
on making figures with her hands
and meeting new and interested and
interesting people. i
Another Montana woman who
lives in zone of the most beautiful
primitive areas left in the United
States" the Seeley lake district, has
developed her hobby for writing
poetry to include the encouragement
of others who have the urge to
write verse. She publishes the Mon
tana Poetry Quarterly and in the
most recent issue not only are there
local poets but verses from far away
California, Arkansas, North Caro-
lima, even England.
Hobbies not only add fuIness and
interest, they bring information,
friends and even peace of mind.

MOUNTAINS golden sun is set

Ger the mountains high and old.
1t leaves behind a blaze of color,

Colors glorious, deity blended,

That Extra Bathroom
Can Be Squeezed In

HERE is a complete bathroom that
- can be built into a space as
small as 6 feet by S feet. This is the
answer to many a home owners
prayer where the family needs an
extra bathroom. Frequently the cry
is, "We need an extra bathroom, but

In this respect parents should be
indulgent in a child's interest. Bugs
and worms may be smelly and I'M
pleasant but maybe a boy is learn
ing and going in the direction of
his life's work. By all means en-
courage hobbies and healthy inter-
ests in young folks.
Gardening is hard work to the
majority, but to some it is a relax
alton and. a stimulation and in
every community we have those
whose iris, glads, roses, peonies or
tomatoes put the rest of our hum
BILE efforts to shame. One enthu-
siastic gardener says gardeners al
ways stay young. He explains it
in this manner: $50 I would say
that the more you garden, the
more you are bound to become a
~philanderer among flowers. In early
May you swear there is no flower
like the daffodil. Soon your affec-

peonies, and by the time they have
come out, you have completely for
gotten the daffodils. By the middle
of the summer you have lost your
heart to phloX and to delphinium.
And finally in the fall your only
love is the chrysanthemum, until
that fades and finds you looking for
ward to spring and, well, yes, to DAFT
fodils once more"
Soap Sculpture
One Montana woman started off
on her hobby because she was one OF
those Shut-ins on a Montana stock
ranch. Her fingers itched to make
something. Her art materials were
all used up and no more were avail
able on account of the drifted roads,
so she got out a bar of laundry soap
and her faithful kitchen pairing
knife and she amused herself and

Hobby Books

MOST housekeepers have long
AVA been familiar with the name
Caroline B. King. A home economist,
with ability to express her ideas in
that field, she did editorial work for
years for many of the national pub
locations. Widowed in the first World
war, she hoped someday to retire
and enjoy a cottage and a garden.
The dream finally did come true
and the story of that garden has
been published by The Caxton
Printers, Ltd, in Mrs. Kings book,
''This Was Ever My Dream" The
price is So.
''The Art of Wood Turning" by
William w. Klenke, is a book any
one whose hobby is working in wood
will want and use. 1t gives detailed
instructions in wood turning. The
necessary tools, their proper use, the
best wood for a given project and
good design are all included in this
book. There is a wealth of full page
working drawings, as well as line
drawings and photographs. Publish
ers: The Manual Arts Press, Peoria,
Illinois. Price: $2.25.
"Use of Native Craft Materials
is written by Margaret Eberhardt
Shanklin, who is herself a recognized
craftsman. The author discusses the
uses of the commonly found craft
materials-straw, corn, grass, rush,
clay and nuts. Her photographs and
drawings are made use of in assist
ing anyone DESTROYS of learning the
use of these easily available mate
rails. Publishers: The Manual Arts
Press, Peoria, Illinois. Price: $2.75.
palmetto Braiding and Weaving
by Viva Cooke and Julia Sampley.
This is the only source in book form
for actual braiding and weaving pat
terms as handed down from mother
to daughter for generations along
the great southern craft belt of the
United States. Developed for the
use of the palmetto leaf, it is equally
disable for other materials such as
corn husks, straws or reeds. Exten-
sive use is made of photographs and
drawings in showing the preparation
of materials and the enumerated
steps of procedure. The book tells
how to make many interesting
pieces. mats, bags, hats, baskets anc
novelties. Publishers: The Manua
Arts Press, Peoria, Illinois. Price

where can we put it?" A bathroom
with a full-sized tub and a ave
tional lavatory often takes up more
room than the family can spare,
but this one might even be con-
veniently fitted under a stairway.
Partition Bedroom
Many homes still have o1d-fash-
Toned pantries. With the modern
trend toward kitchen cabinets put
ting more pantries out of business
every day, the pantry is an ideal
spot to squeeze in a downstairs bath
room. Or a partition could be built
at the end of one of the larger bed
rooms, with a portion of the appro-
priated space allocated to the extra
bathroom and the remainder serv-
ing for that much-needed extra
closet space.
The secret of this pint-sized bath
room is a corner lavatory, g~ood-look-
ing and as roomy. as a conventional
single-wall lavatory, and a small,
low bathtub. Overall dimensions of
the tub are AZ by 81 inches. 1t is
ideal as a shower receptor, and
convenient for giving wee tots their
daily baths, with mother sitting be-
side the tub. Adults can take a full
fledged sitting bath, either down in
the tub, or sitting on the spacious
corner seat. Foot bathing is no chore
at all from the vantage point of
this seat.
6 by S Foot Space
The plan drawing shows how the
room can be built into a 6 by 5 foot
space. If you are really cramped for
space-say you are making use of
a wasted area under a Stairway
room with the same fixtures can be
achieved in a space 3k feet by 6h
feet, letting the 42-inch tub fit be-
tween two walls and placing the
corner lavatory in the corner dag
onally opposite from that shown in
the photo (right),

seer Carl @. Lee explained the
Importance of obedience to a
full-rounded Christian life, and
emphasized the Importance of
Christian baptism as an act of
obedience to the will of God.
The first Lords Day of the
Convocation was highlighted
by the address delivered by
the General Overseer at the
HOO o'clock service on the
subject of "the Holy Spirit"
It is good for the Christian to
realize that when he commits
himself to the work of God
and in faith actively embarks
upon it, that it is really God
Who worketh in YOU in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
Several short messages were
brought to those who gathered
at the evening services during
the second week of the Convo-
cation. On Monday evening,
Evangelist Charles L. Kessler
spoke of Christian RESPONSE

as followers of Him Who show

man should be.
1t is this ancient, yet ever
new summons to walk worthy
of the vocation wherewith We
have been called" that the
General Overseer chose as the
theme for lions Forty-eighth
Annual Convocation. Under
the guidance of this Biblical
theme the fellowship of the
Christian Catholic Church met
together at frequent intervals
during the ten-day period be-
tween Wednesday evening,
September 22nd, and Lords
Day afternoon, October 3rd.
Thus, an opportunity was Civ
en- to all who would listen to
hear again in clear tones the
call of Gods Word to the will
and way and work of the Faith
er. Likewise, an opportunity
was extended to all who would
respond to offer sacrifice of
prayer, praise and testimony
in witness to the all-embracing
love and power of God as re-
vealed in Christ. And, an op-
portunity was offered to all
who would participate in spirit
and in truth to be caught up
in meaningful worship expert
ences with the whole fellow
ship - worship in which the
spirits of men could reach out
to catch new vision of God
and a new understanding of
the responsibility to active du-
ty which flows from relation
ship with God.
The serious and earnest tone
which pervaded the entire
Convocation was established
at the opening service held in
Zion Auditorium, Wednesday,
September 22nd, at 7:45 P. NJ.
The General Overseer con-
fronted the large congregation
which assembled with the cru
cial Importance of vital and
effective Christian dedication.
At the close of the service the
entire congregation offered
with conviction the Prayer of
Conservation - "Take me as
[ am, make me what I ought
to be-"
On Thursday at $50 A. NJ,
the first of the morning SER
vices was conducted in the
Zion Chapel by the General
Overseer. These meetings were
held each day of the Convoca-
ton with the exception of the
two Saturdays. Perhaps some
of the most significant expert
ences of Christian fellowship
were enjoyed by those who
were able to lift to God praise
in song and testimony at the
break of day.
It was the heart of Christian
faith and experience which
Overseer Anton Darms brought
to those who attended the SER
vice Thursday evening. To en-
bark upon the "worthy walk"
one must first find God through
Christ and be brought to new
ness of life by the work of the
Spirit in the New Birth. The

Jesus was given unique clarity

you in tune with the spirit of

During this meditative stroll l
stopped in the r grocery, and
there a woman at the meat count
er was complaining about the high
cost of meat and everything in
general, saying-"the very thing l
like to eat most costs more than
anything else, and by the time I
buy my groceries and pay my
rent, l haven't anything left"
This incident is indicative of
the situation and attitude of thou
sands of other people, but its les
son should not be entirely lost to
all of us.
High living costs, low living
standards, inadequate and poor
housing typical Of our city,, di-
sease, and conflict, etc. just don't
happen. They are symptoms of an
unhealthy condition in our local
society, part and parcel of our
world society, a condition that we
hopew i'll soon be improved, it
the lot of "Mr. Average Citizen"
is not to grow progressively worse.
What are we as a group-as
wide awake citizens and individ-
uals, doing about these problems?
Have we decided toll ct someone
else ponder and seek a solution to
these problems? Or, do we yearn
to bring about such an atmosphere
in our community that the spirit
and significance Of all Springs to
come, will not be inevitably lost?
