Using her jig saw and carving tools, Miss Turpin tries to make her productions suit the individual needs of each order, with the result that each board has a design of its own. with serf id cherry, also in creases the desirability of her carving. Cut from one piece of wood, her cutting boards with initials, are practical as well as attrac tive. Cherry offers a suitable surface for cutting, and M i s s Turpin has adapted initials with graceful lines, that are least li able to break. Expecially pop ular are her wedding boards, monogramed with the bride and groom’s initials. Miss Turpin’s carving is not limited to initials. Her French bread boards are made to fit a long loaf of French bread, that can be cut and served on the same board. She also makes cheese boards with any figure desired on the side or perched on the top of the board. “One woman was crazy about racoons. I made her a board with a racoon on it and every so often she’d write asking for a racoon board for one of her* John heads a "gang" of planning en gineers who L-J look for trouble on our electric system. In fact, they actually "make" some ... on paper. With the help of a computer, they simu late failures and then determine how best to prevent or minimize them. Aside from safeguarding our existing sys tem, John and his staff plan electric fa cilities up to eight years in advance. It's a little like trying to decide on your wife's Christmas present now ... for 1976! Men like John Hunter plan for us to keep your electric service as failure-proof as possible . . . even if they have to "start something" to do it. Carolina Power & Light Company An investor-owned, taxpaying public utility company friends.” The cheese board that Miss Turpin makes most often, has a happy little mouse, bursting with personality, peek ing around the side of the board. Although cutting boards are her specialty. Miss Turpin also makes trivets, bookends with initials or figures, and abstract pieces. Especially clever are her wind-proof napkin holders, perfect for patio or boat use. Miss Turpin has designed a I wooden holder that allows a | napkin to be easily pulled out for use, while not making the other napkins accessable to the wind. Besides their usefulness outdoors, the napkin holders are also decorative. They can be ordered to suit any size napkin and have initials or any kind of decoration on the top of the holder. Although she sells to two gift shops in the area, most ot Miss Turpin’s business is mail or der, mainly from Indiana, Il linois, Florida and Wisconsin. “My boards sell themselves.” In a sort of chain reaction, her boards create interest and ap peal as gifts. Miss Turpin is kept busy most of the time with these special orders. Her business tends to be seasonal, busy dur ing wedding time and at Christmas. In fact, she spends most of the Fall filling Christ mas orders. Miss Turpin’s craft is more than Just a hobby and a busi ness. For 37 years she taught woodshop in the public schools. After she was unable to con tinue her work toward her de gree in architecture, she used a woodshop course she had taken as part of her studies, to begin teaching. Miss Turpin was the first teacher in the public schools in Illinois to teach woodshop in the primary grades. She found her students eager to learn, and they bene fited from the skills that helped them gain muscular co-ordina tion. Besides her actual woodshop work, Miss Turpin has done some writing about her skill. Her book, Toys You Can Make of Wood, appeared in three American editions and a British edition. It contains diagrams and instructions for making all kinds of wooden toys. She has also written articles for Popular Science and Highlights for Children. She may specialize in cut ting boards, but all Miss Tur pin’s carving, from the chairs she’s made to the abstract and handsome monogrammed book ends, reflect the work of a craftsman. 4-H News The Valley Raven Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas for the April meeting.
