Mexican Pottery Craft
Originated by Chance;
Improved by Spanish
Prize Contribution
By Carol WrobeI, II
Brooklond School


Pottery making began in Mex
leo over 300 years ago because of
the need to waterproof baskets.
The Mexican people were very
skillful with their hands. They
wove baskets to carry water, and
began packing clay inside to keep
the baskets from leaking. The
people noticed how the clay would
harden and form a waterproof
utensil.
After Cortez conquered Mexico
Spain started sending her people
to this land. The Spanish people
brought new ideas and customs
Working together, the Mexicans
and Spanish found that they
could put the clay to many uses
Painting figures and designs or
the pottery added to its beauty.
Even today almost all the work
is done by hand. Each member
Of the family takes part in makine
the pottery, and each family ha.
its own art exhibit.

not much is expected on pro-

Church in the United States of
America and the Presbyterian
Church in the United States.
These adverse developments do
not mean that all is gloom in the
church union picture. Efforts to
achieve unity among Lutheran
groups are still actively in pro-
gress and will probably form a
leading topic Of discussion at the
pending Lutheran conventions.
There is little doubt that much
attention will be focused at the

The making of glass by hand
as described by Ruth Parsons in
the accompanying article, is an
ancient art which in this country
dates back to the jamestown
Colony. Requiring the highly de-
veloped skill of an artist who
draws free-hand, this Is the craft
of about $4,000 workers in Amer
lea today.
Silica sand is the basic in
gredient which goes into the crea-
ton of glassware. This sand is
fused under white-hot heat, with
such elements as lead, lime and
alkalis to form light but durable
glass. The exact chemical for
mula is closely guarded secret.
The production of a goblet
for example, is the sum o1
many skills. Gathering, blowing
and shaping are three which are
often passed down through sew
eral generations. The blowing and
shaping of the glass is done by
dipping bloWpipe into a pot OF
molten glass, and then rolling the
COB of glass taken from the pot
on, a fiat steel surface. Then the
glass is blown to the proper size
Next the bowl of the goblet is
pressed against a stalk shaped
piece of metal, and a small goh
is placed on the end of the stem
to form the foot. Another worker
ships off the exact amount of
glass needed with shears.
Another artisan shapes the gob-
let foot to size by using q hard
wood paddle. The next step is to
crack off the excess glass which
almost covers the top. This is
done in a giant oven.

Prize Contribution
By Ruth Persons, II
Tokomo School

I recently watched a glass blow
er demonstrating how small vases
and jars are made.
The man giving this exhibition
started with small tube of glass.
This he softened in a gas flame
of intense heat. After that, he
pulled the tube. This made a
longer tube with thin handle-like
ends.
He then blew gently through
one of these handles" and formed
a small ball at one end. Then he
heated the remaining portion of
the tube and blew an ellipse-
shaped bulge in the middle, and
another round one on the opposite
end.
The glass-blower then took a
stick of red glass and. after melt
ing it slightly, drew parallel
stripes about one-third of the
way down the ellipse This done,
he blew the ellipse into a slightly
larger shape, twisting II all the
time. p
The twisting process made the
coloring spread. He then heated
the small ball at one end. When
it was sufficiently hot, he blew
it and stretched it until it popped
He then picked up a small tool
dipped it in the bees wax, and
twisted the popped ball into the
" base Of a vase.
After the bottom was finished,
he popped the top ball. He used
the same process for the top rim
as for the bottom. When that
was done, he rippled the edge
with the blade of his tool.

Uncle Roy's Corner
By Romon Coffmon

People speak about dumb ami
mails. and the porcupine has a
special right to that name. The
word dumb" means without the
power of speech" but in common
talk there is the extra meaning-of
dull"
The porcupine has been called
lone of the dullest animals" 1t
also is slow in moving about, and
this animal would have been ex-
tinct long ago except for one
thing-it has a kind of armor
made of quills.
Those quilts are sharp, and when
they touch the flesh of an enemy
they sink in. Woe to the animal
or human being, who is wounded
There are dozens of tiny barbs
near the point of each quill, anc
when the quill goes in it is hare

sometimes attack porcupines, but
they are sorry about it afterward
Their mouths become sore from
the barbs. and the animals fine
it is too hard to swallow food
Within a few weeks they are likely
to die of starvation.
When a porcupine is attacked
it arches its back and puts it's heac

way it forms what is almost a
ball of quilts. say almost" be-
cause the underside of this animal
is without quills. The secret fo1

this secret and uses it with success

The Week in Religion
Rx RELIGIOUS News Service

/ The church convention season
is now getting into swing. with
June promising to usher in an ex-
ceptionally heavy period of reli-
gious get-togethers.
Most important group to meet
so far was the Southern Baptist
Convention which wound up four
day sessions in Chicago last week.
The General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America is now in session
at Cincinnati. Next week, the
Northern Baptist Convention will
assemble at Boston, and the Re-
formed Church in America will
hold its general assembly at Buck
Hills Falls. Pa.
It is anticipated that as the
convention season progresses,
other church bodies will cover a
far wider range of topics of in
terest to American Protestants
both in the national and inter-
national field.
Among the groups expected to
make religious headlines next
month are the Presbyterian
Church in the United States
(Southern); The United Presby-
terian Church; the Evangelical
and Reformed Church; the Con-
gregational Christian Churches;
and nine Lutheran denominations.
Leaders Are Concerned.
Several of these and other
bodies to meet later in the sum-
mer are expected to devote special
attention to charges of pro-Com-
munism which have been levelled
against some church groups.
The issue has been brought to
the fore by recent publiciZed &C
cusations branding the Federal
Council of Churches as pro-
Communist in sympathy and as
serting that the Methodist Fedora
ton for Social Action is tainted
with radicalism.
Many Protestant leaders are
greatly concerned over what Foy
D. Kohler, a Methodist layman
who is chief of the State Depart
ment's Voice of American, recently
described as an "anti- Communist
hysteria" invading even the church
field.
The attention of several re-
ligious bodies is again expected
to be centered on another less
dramatic. but perennially interest
ing. topic-the question of church
union. It is hardly likely, how
ever. that there will be much to
report on this issue, since the
trend at the moment seems un-
favorable.
Church Unity Affected.
A serious setback to the church
unity movement has been seen in
the recent Brooklyn Supreme
Court decision barring the pro-
jected merger of the Congrega
tional Christian Churches and the
Evangelical and Reformed Church
against which an appeal is pend
ing.
Another blow was the rejection
by local units of both groups of
plans to merge the Reformed

County Road Code Is
Challenged By Real
Estate Brokers Suit

1.-THE road code passed last Aug
ust by the County Council is be-
ing challenged by a real estate
developer. A suit for declaratory
judgement was filed during the
past week on behalf of Palisades,
inc, owners of tract of land
near Kensington, by Attorney
David E. Belts, in Montgomery
County Circuit Court.
The suit contends the code is
Legislation and, therefore could
'have been enacted only during the
annual May legislative session of
the County Council. The fact the
Council did pass an enabling act
in May, permitting later approval
of the code makes no difference,
according to the suit.
Further, the suit contends, the
road code is not in conformity with
the enabling act. According to
the suit, the enabling act restric-
ted the application of such code
to sections where the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, and the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission do not have authority to
pass similar regulations. In addi-
tion, the suit attacks provisions
of the code permitting the Coun-
Gil to grant waivers of the reg
ulations.

Girls All Club

Plans For TIE Year

Miss Christine Blake, Miss Eve
lyn la Fountaine, new assistant
Home Demonstration Agents, and
Miss Turner spent day recently
working out schedules and illustra-
tive material on All work.
The two assistants made UP
Christmas cookies, beautifully dec
GRATED, and a spiced cider punch
to serve the All Local Leaders as
they came to planning meeting
the evening of November 9Th.
Only four leaders were absent.
After a report on the demonstra-
lions of the past two months, it
was the concensus of opinion that
the All girls gained much plea
sure from the lesson on Flower
Arrangement and enjoyed making
up the recipes using apples during
Apple Week. The leaders asked to
have the lesson on making and
decorating cookies for Christmas.
Miss Blake and Miss Turner will
visit all but one or two clubs this
month. The All leaders will have
materials ready and Miss Blake
will have charge of the meetings.
COmus Club Meets
The first club to have the cookie
lesson was the Comus All Club on
November 7th at the home of their
leader, Mrs. George Nicholson.
This club had a fine business
meeting, at which time a report
on the clubs Halloween Party was
given by Connie Ward. The presi-
dent, Mary Ann White, presided
over the meeting. Mary Nicholson,

Schroeder had delicious punch and
cakes for the girls.
The All leader, Miss Linthicum,
has held this group for teenagers
together for six years, a real ac-
complishment.
Germantown Alters
The Germantown All Girls with
their leaders, Miss Mary Dorsey
and Mrs. Lee Harding, were the
next to enjoy the cookie lesson.
Mrs. Harding had the dough ready
and chilled and the girls learned to
roll, cut neatly and bake five
dozen cookies. While they cooled a
business meeting was held.
Then came the fun as they put
on gay red icing on Santa Claus,
trimmed green tree cookies with
tiny candy beads and made tur-
keys up in very modern colors.
Each girl took home some cookies
of her own creative decoration.
This club also held a Halloween
Party, and invited the Boys All
Club and the small fry of the town
to be their guests.
