Last winter over 300 examples of
4 Guild handicrafts were on display
at the World Agriculture Fair in
New Delhi. They formed part of
the American Crafts exhibit in the
United States Pavilion. Thousands
of visitors from all parts of India,
and other Asiatic countries gave
them a warm reception.

D. W. Cook, *f Boone, Route t,
are expected U be among the
exhibitors at the fair.
Eaton had been responsible for
assembling the American crafts,
at the request of the Department
of Commerce, and was on duty in
the Pavilion for the duration of
the New Delhi Fair. Thus he was
able to choose personally the best
and most representative of Indian
i Crafts for the Craftsman's Fair in
Asheville.
Eaton will give daily talks in
connection with the "Craftsman's
Hands Across the Sea" exhibit.
Those who have heard him on pre

deep conviction that handicrafts
can be a valuable means of com
munication between the peoples

to stress this point in recounting
his experiences in India.

of wit and charm. A former news

misses nothing, and catches the
significance of what he sees. His
account of what went on in New
