Institute Handicraft Work
Praised For High Quality
Handicraft entries in the Red
Deer Centre Constituency Women's
Institute annual handicraft
display held Friday at Gaetz
Memorial United Church were
praised by judges for the high
quality of craftsmanship.
" The improvement in the standard
of work submitted was especially
noticeable this year,"
said Mrs. Nancy Zaveduik of
Edmonton, one of the judges at
the display.
. She said judging is done on
the basis of the quality of the
work and all articles deserving a
first class receive this marking.
" This is not a competition for a
first, second and third," Mrs,
Zaveduik said. " The emphasis is
placed on raising the standards
so that few third- class marks are
given."
Also judging in the handicraft
display were Miss Rettie Davies
and Mrs. Edna Clark, Olds, dis
tricl home economists.
Entries in the display this year
increased to .16" compared with
H29 entries last year and the
emphasis was on practical sewing.
The greatest number of entries
« ere in the apron class and these
varied from kitchen work aprons
tr dainty tea aprons. One especially
fashionable apron came
with pleats — the new look fori
spring this year.
Other sewn articles, ladies' afternoon
dresses also received
many first- class marks. The
' dresses were particularly attractive
with the complementing of
material to design.
I Entries in the children's gar-iments,
remade class, also in-i
creased this year and on display
[ were well- made coats, dresses
and boys' pants. Blouses, dusters
and play togs also displayed the
I sewing ability of the institute
members.
An especially fine display was
seen in the cardigan class. A
former emphasis on bulky knit
sweaters gave way to lightweight
mohair sweaters in attractive
pastel colors in varying designs,
some with buttons and collars,
some without.
Knitted entries, which were second
in quantity to sewn articles,
were also high in the socks and
mitts classes. Baby outfits were,
as usual, expertly knitted in
charming designs.
Hooked rugs were popular this
year and among the many entries
was one which was particularly
smart, djne in rectangular
shapes of various complementing
colors.
Huck weaving on dresser
scarves was very attractive and,
although entries were few in the
needlework classes, the embroidery,
drawn thread'work, knitted
lace and crochet were fine examples
of a time- consuming art.
Other handicrafts represented
in the display included millinery,
leather work, stuffed toys and
dolls' clothing, needlepoint, thrift
articles and cushion covers.
The branch winning the most
points in the display will be announced
at the constituency conference
to be held in June.
Tlie tea was convened by Mrs.
C. V. Northey and the handicraft
display arranged by Mrs. J . M .
Nolan. Mrs. J . T. Morrisroe
convener of the constituency.
