Regulations for use of the
Wise-Paschall Ruritan Club's
Softball field were set forth last

meeting of the club, presided
over by President Joe Cobb.
Discussion of the use of the

inducted into the club.
Bill Martin was given
permission to use the Softball
field as his home field this

do additional work on the field.
A fence will be built around the

outfield is filled in with dirt.
A committee to oversee use
of the field was selected by Vice
President Herbert Moseley.
Moselev, William Leonard, the
Rev. Jim Hebel and Wayne
Paynter will serve on the
committee.
Efforts will be made to curb
profanity and drinking at the
field, and a $50 advance rental

The club plans to erect the
concession stand later this
year.
The club voted to sponsor a
donkey softball game this
spring, and agreed to contribute
funds to Murdoch Center

summer camp and King's
Dominion in Virginia. Luther
Paynter told club members that
he would let the club use a

Needlework To Be Featured During Exhibit
By SUSAN SIMEONS
Needlework plus, the art
exhibit for April, will have an
opening reception for the
creators of April 3 from 3 to 5 p.
m. at the Warrenton Town
Hall. The exhibit ia sponsored
by the Warrenton Arts
Commission and is free to the
public.
The exhibit will be on display
from April 3 to April 23.
Included in the exhibit will be a
hand-woven fish net by C. H.
Stegall and afghans, quilts and
many pieces of needlepoint,
embroidery, crewel and cross
stitch. Of special interest will
be count stitch work by Mrs.
Loraine Kraemer.
Most of the pieces are
original designs executed by
Warren County natives who
have never exhibited works
before. Some of the pieces are
old and have been passed down
through families. A small bead
work piece by Susan Simmons
will be exhibited.
Originally needlework was
done mainly by women who
were not given many privileges
of pleasure entertainment.
Today most of the people doing
needlework are indeed busy
working women who continue
this tradition of handwork. In
recent years many men have
realized the beautiful objects
created and begun needlework
also.
The exhibit is called
needlework plus because many
pieces are not usually included
under the needlework heading.
Mr. Stegall's fishnets generally
take from eight to 15 hours to
complete. They are made of
flaxen thread and he really
fishes with them. Between
making and fishing seasons,
Mr. Stegall stores the nets in
glass jars to preserve them
from air and fiber-eating
animals such as silverfish.
The Warrenton Arts Commission
is proud to exhibit the
work of these local artists and
hopes the community will
realize it* own wealth of
creativity and diversity by
attending the reception of April
3.
This is the last exhibit for
this season. Next fall will
commence the next exhibit
series. Planned exhibits will be
landscape paintings from the
retail sales gallery of the N. C.
Art Museum, quilt and coverlet
exhibit and exhibits by local
artists and craftsmen.
If you are in the Warren
County or surrounding area
and wish to exhibit your works
of art as a part of the yearly
exhibit series at the Town Hall,
contact Susan Simmons, chairman
of exhibits, 257-1881, or
Brenda Clark , chairman of the
Warren ton Arts Commission at
257-3633.
During the month of May the
Arts Commission will hold its
annual Sidewalk Art Show and
Sale. If you wish to participate
or have questions contact Ms.
Simmons or Ms. Clark.
