During our meditations let us
also pray for the safety and inte-
gritty of Israel and it's intrepid and
diligent people. Let us express our
gratitude to our Divine Guardian
for the wondrous sight of Israel,
sovereign and independent, and
for the miraculous "Ingathering
of the Dispersed" which we of
this generation have been priv
legged to witness. Let us through
individual utilization and service
with the Zionist Organization Of
America and Hadassah pledge
continued support of the State of
Israel, through our purchase of
Israeli bonds.
Our Holy Days must serve to
make us realize that we Jews
have survived because of the
great religious heritage that is
ours. Without our Faith, without
our Synagogues, without our Re-
ligious Schools, we would soon
vanish as a civilization and as a
people.
. Let us resolve for the New Year
SIP to make our Synagogues the
center of our lives. Let us make
every effort to attend services
regularly and to enroll our chill
dren in the Religious Schools.
Then, surely, Judaism will con-
tinue to prosper as we join hands
and go forward together from
strength to strength.
My family joins me with best
wishes to you and your loved ones

Expert Weaver Creates Unusual Fabrics
By Betty Miles

Sharing honorS with color and
cut in the fashion and decorating
pictures of recent years has been
the, interesting texture of the fab
RIGS. Miss Frances van Hall, Hol-
land born, trained in Sweden, a
weaver who has made a dis
contribution to the tex
tile industry in the past two dec
AIDES, helps produce these un-
usual fabrics, using familiar ma
terial in unfamiliar ways to turn
out work as exciting as it is new.
In Washington recently, Miss
van Hall noted that not only has
interest in hand weaving grown
among lobbyists in recent years,
but more hand loom work is being
done in industry, too. She des-
cribed the new course she is
teaching at the City College of
New York, the only college course
in weaving in the country, she
believes. Although students study
at the professional level there,
Miss van Hall noted that so per
cent of the class were interested
as amateurs only. AS many men
as women, too, have registered.
An improviSor par excellence,
Miss van Hall can we'll serve as
inspiration for students ready to
try their wings as Weavers crea-
lively. you have to learn the
basic work first" she constantly
cautions students eager to expert
'ment. Once the art is mastered,
no end of improvisation is pos
sible.
One of her attractive creations
is the coffee table top pictured,
blend of unbleached linen, raffia,
straw (such as you would find in
mans summer chapeaW and
reed. Linen threads serve as the
warp, and the other materials
alternate to make the weft, mod
ern in mood. She has used the
top on her coffee table every
day for the last two years, and
it has withstood typical coffee
table treatment beautifully.
Equally creative are her woven
lamp shades. She finds strips of
easy-to-care-for plastic particu-
larly effective for shade weaving,
since light can easily shine through
it. New York. of course, provides
possibilities for limitless variety
in supplies. In Chinatown, she
located dried Chinese vegetables,
which she used in shades. For
a gay flip. she adds a whimsical
touch-such as scattering few
small. stuffed birds, steals from
milady's bonnet, over the shades
surface.
The striking stole pictured, pre-
dominately black and aqua, is
made of black wool, aqua metal
tic Christmas ribbon, plastic
beads. real silk, rayon ribbon, and
silver and rayon boucle.

in unusual ways. Coarse burlap
bags, stained red by the paprika
they had carried, were cut into
strips and woven into a rug.
Strips of alligator skins proved
effective as rug material, too.
Miss van Hall predicts a fine
future for plastics. so in tune with
the times. when the simpler it is
to keep a house shining, the bet
ter. Currently, she's working on
plastic upholstery fabric for the
apartment of modern designer
Russell Wright.
Like its first cousin modern fur
niture, modern textile design is
outgroWing its flaming youth and
settling down to a more restrained
and tasteful maturity, Miss van
Hall observed. The f1amboyant
patterns of the past are giving
way to more conservative, though
not prim, designs.
Miss van Hall uses the dinette
end of her kitchen as her work
room. One loom, Swedish in
origin. is happily designed for the
apartment dWeller. 1t converts
