Recent flat Making Workshop

ni ■
four hat making work
shops held in Chowan County
haV£ been most successful.
Home Demonstration Club mem
bqjjs and their friend; and
neighbors have made ah d of
1255 hats from straw ora id,
straw fabric and a few c fabrics
to [fnatch suits or dress s.
At each workshop, u j. women
first spent an enjoy' ile period
trying on various t pcs of hat
frail, i to get thr “just right
for me” type of 'rame. Then,
a generoi'', selection of col
ors and weav j of straw braid,
and a large s oup of sttwy fab
ric pieces in spring colors, they
those t’.'-jr materials. With
Ihose two decisions made, they
were ready to be shown tech
niques and to actually start
their own “creations”. Miss
Pauline Calloway, home eco
nomics agent, and Miss Cath
tHoe Aman, assistant home eco
nomics agent, had recently at
tended a two-day special con
struction workshop for home
economics agents in Washington
and were eager to pass on the
information and techniques they
learned to the Home Demonstra
tion Club women.
Os the 125 hats made, 95 hat
frames of black or white buck
ram were covered with straw,
braid, straw fabric or other ma-j
terial. Four women tried their |
hand at making a hat without j
a frame, using hat blocks to :
work on to develop the type!
crown they wanted. These four
hats have turned oilt very sue-;
eessfully. Twenty-eight old hats 1
that were the style hats women

enjoyed wearing needed some
thing different because they nad
faded or trimming had become
shopworn. These have been
covered, lined and trimmed to l
make most attractive spring
hats.
Comments from all over the
county have indicated that the
Home Demonstration Club wo
men feel this has been one of
the most interesting things club
members in Chowan County
have done in Home Demonstra
tion Club work for years.
Mrs. Lester Copeland of the
Ryland Home Demonstration
Club, who made a navy straw
braid hat and a red straw braid
hat said, “I have actually taken
the hats in my car to show wo
men in my community and peo
ple have been in my house to
see the two hats who have nev
er been in my house before.”
Mrs. Lucy Ward of the Wards
Home Demonstration Club, who
made two straw braid hats, said,
“I could have sold these a num
ber of times.” Mrs. Corinne
Thorud of Edenton, after com
pleting her first hat, said. “When
you consider the time and en
ergy put into making a hat,, I
will never complain about the
price of a ready-made hat.”
However, Mrs. Thorud came
back to the second workshop
and fouqd her second hat much
| easier to make, since she had
| developed more skill.
| Although each of the work
j shops was a hard day’s work,
Miss Calloway says that the en
thusiastic response of the wo
men and the excellent quality
cf workmanship in their new
hats made it very worthwhile.

Yelton Speaker
At Parish House
VMdkMd tom Pag* 1. Saclion 1
Mr. Yelton gave an interest- ,
ing talk before the group and [
concluded his speech by answer- I
ing questions from the floor. I
He pointed out that many peo- I
pie were afraid of retirement
because of not planning ahead,
and he cautioned the group
about considering a person as
old because he had attained a
certain number of years. “A
Chronological age is misleading,”
he stated. The example of a
large industry was cited. This
industry has practiced for two
years the system of allowing a
worker to select his own retire
ment. Many did not retire at
age 65, and were found to be
highly productive for a number
of years beyond that age. He
cautioned against retiring work
ers too young now that people
were living much longer. He
expressed concern over this
practice since it could lead to a
pressure group, and also it
could cause a burden on young
er workers.
Mr. Yelton complimented the j
churches on their work with
shut-ins. He gave two examples
of work that a retired person
could do. One was continuing
to substitute for teachers and
another was assisting in civic
work particularly work involv
ing drives. He admitted that
the North Carolina system for
retiring workers was not sound.
“They are hired on a year-to- j
year basis after reaching age |
65,” he stated in pointing out |
that this does not give a worker j
any job security. “If he is a
good, productive worker and is I
doing a good job, that is suffi-!
cient reason to retain him.”
Mr. Yelton stated that persons |
at age 35 hdd difficulty in ob
taining employment and empha
sized that employers must be
educated against unrealistic age j
limits. “It does not make much I
sense,” he said, “to specify a
number of years of schooling,
plus a number of years of ex
perience, and then, put a 35-year
age limit on a job.” He re
minded the audience that em
ployers should realize the ad
vantages of hiring a mature
worker.
The speaker mentioned the
I plight of many retired workers
whose work years occurred dur
ing the depression years when
earnings were low, and many of
them had periods of no em
ployment. “Their social secur
ity coverage makes their retire
ment quite low and fixed,” he
stated.
Mr. Yelton complimented t? e

I its work and its planning and
