Gobs Of Lace

VWVHE LAST thing young swabby expects to learn in
Il the Navy is how to make lace Yet the Navy boasts
aladiesype handicraft that has been passed from
bosn bosn since the days John Paul Jones Called
"McNamara's Lace" the fancy knitwork is woven from
pieces of spare canvas and used quarterback decor
canopy coverings for captains gigs
any swabby has hopes of making the bos'n grade
he'd better latch ON to the lace-making game. This
special brand of lace-makng is required knowledge
for chief bosns mates. The techniques are briefly de-
scrbed in Navy Training Manuals but the real tricks
of the handiwork usually passed on from one sea
man to another.
The strands for making McNamara's Lace are pre-
pared by aying the edge of piece Of canvas usually
little feet wide The frayng is done by pulling
out the threads to within about inches Of the
edge leaving long fringe of threads These strings
then tied and knoed together into fancy designs Some
sailors square knots and others tie fancier
knots that often kept secret until they retire from
service The fringe is braided and notted into q pat
tern which is improvised as the work proceeds.
A timeconsuming procedure that calls for nimble
fingers and artistic ability making length of lace
take from q few weeks to more than year to finish,
depending how much free time sailor can give to
the task The only tool used is q handcarved wooden
hook which is tied around the sailors waist, which
holds on to q of strings like third hand. Sailors
take great pride in their lace work. and Of
cer who is presented with strip of McNamaras Lace
generally receives it with the reverence accorded
royal gif.

The urging comes from Chair
man Arthur r. Anderson of the
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee. He
points out that only those prac-
tees completed by November 10
will qualify for Federal cost
sharing available under the en-
Urgency program. This closing date
is necessary, he explains. to meet
the requirement that conservation
~practices carried out with emer-
gency ACP cost-sharing must be
completed in time to provide sub
stantial conservation benefits this
year.
In general, the practices being
carried out under this emergency
are for livestock water
Developments, such as drilling of
wells or development of springs
and seeps.
Mr.. Anderson emphasized that
PRODUCERS should not confuse this
emergency ACP Program with
the regular Agricultural Conserva-
ton program which provides Fed
eral cost-sharing over a much
wider range of resource conserv-
ing practices. The completion date
for practices approved under thl'
nroeram is December 81, 1861.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Every day I live under such

I begin to feel hysterical. It's

anything with my husband.
I can't relax, and feel like
