WALKER is shown working on a scatter rug for her home in Baltimore, Maryland. The picture appeared in The Brooklyn News, a newspaper published in one of Baltimore's sub divisions, along with a story concerning her abilities as a home maker. Mrs. Paul Walker," a native 01 Wayneavllle, who has been making her home in Baltimore, Maryland for the past 13 years, has won rec ognition in her new home for her ability In the art of rug-hooking. She is proud of her Haywood County background and has enjoy ed passing on to new friends the art which she developed here. She is the former Juanita Medford, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. Riley Medford of Waynesville. The Brooklyn News, a weekly newspaper published in one of Bal timore's major sub-divisions, car ried the. following feature last week. Mrs. Paul H. Walker, of 4038 Belle Grove Road, who has been hooking rugs for about 25 years, expresses a fear the art may soon be lost. "It's just not as popular as it used to be." As a youngster in North Caro lina Mrs. Walker remembers com munity "hooking parties," similar to the "quilting bees," also dis appearing from feminine society. Has Made 26 Bugs During her years of rug-hooking Mrs. Walker estimates she has completed more than 26 rugs of various sizes. The largest she re members was about 48 x 76 inches. A pride of her home, at 4038 Belle Grove Road, is a stair runner of her own design she completed last year. Made of colorful scraps of "this and that," the runner gracefully covers the stairs to the second floor of the Walker home. Rug hooking Is done on a piece of burlap, or more recently on a hoomr_urn?v? .ukinh J- kaU uvoTj-ncatc inaici lai OTH4V1* is iictu taut in a frame. The pattern is stamped on the basic material. A large hook, similar in appearance to a crochet hook, is used to pull lengths of material through the burlap, forming loops. As each row is completed the loops are cut and the rug begins to take form. For hooking the rugs, Mrs. Walker prefers to use strips of woolen material, about V4-inch wide and a few inches long. These she obtains from discarded coats and other woolen materials. She stays away from commercial yarns which, she says, don't wear as well as woolens. Mrs. Walker tells of about 13 or 14 rugs she had made which were lost in a fire in North Carolina many years ago. She has given away many of the rugs she has made and only the stair runner and another rug r?nain in the Walker home. Daughter Is 'Expert' The Walkers' daughter, Gladys, has taken up her mother's hobby and has made about five rugs. Her mother considers her "quite an expert at it," and hopes she will carry on the fast-disappear ing art. In estimating the time it takes to hook a single throw-rug, Mrs. Walker said it depended on how much time is spent working on it. "It usually takes me several weeks to finish a rug, working in spare time and evenings." A member of the Brooklyn Homemakers Club, Mrs. Walker is enthusiastic about her home and in learning more ways to keep it beautiful and happy. She reports, however, that the Homeir.akers Club has no rug-hooking classes at the present time but is con templating such a class. About 18 months ago Mrs. Walker took her art on television, a guest on a homemaking show, and displayed a few of her rugs and the technique in making them. She is sincerely interested in pre serving this beautiful art. Makes Soap, Too A handy housewife and mother, Mrs. Walker is proud of another hobby, making soap, and sollcita the aid of neighbors who provide her with the basic ingredients. She also has learned to make can- . dies and is an expert at a sewing ( machine, making her own drapes , and clothing, Including tailored , suits and coats. ' Mr. Walker is employed at Galli : Motors in Glen Burnie. They have ' lived in Brooklyn about 13 years. Their children include Mrs. John 1 Molesworth, a home economics teacher at Westminster; Mrs. Le- i nora Scott and Gladys Walker, at home; and Paul H.
