FEBRUARY 1, 1968 One of the best ways to become accus- tomed to a thimble is to work on rather heavy fabric with a short needle, mak- 'ing single rather than running stitches. Pins--A small box of dressmaker pins. These have sharp points and are easier to place into fabric than house- hold pins which are often coarse, bent or blunt. ; Pin Cushion--A small pin cushion stuffed with sawdust and used only for pins. This will keep pins "out of the mouth" and off the floor. Thimble--A metal or plastic thimble to fit the middle finger of the right hand. If you cannot find one small enough, apply adhesive tape to the in- side of a large one. Most girls use a metal thimble more successfully than a plastic one because the metal can be shaped and made to cling to the finger while a plastic thimble cannot be shaped.

Tape measure--A 60" tape measure, non-shrink and non-stretch, with num- bers on each side. Pencils--A regular lead pencil and a white wax pencil for marking. Scissors--Two kinds--one for trim- ming, the other for fabric. For trim- ming, choose 4" scissors with one rounded and one sharp point. For cut- ting, choose 7" dressmaker shears with bent handle. Question What is there to teach about using these small tools? * Answer A great deal. But because you're ac- customed to using these things without thinking about them, teaching how to use them is likely to baffle you. When you teach how-to thread a needle, place a spool of-thread, needles and scissors in front of you on the aye Wour daughter should sit along side you on your right. Work with a length of thread as long as your fore- arm. Pick up the end of the thread with your left hand, scissors with your right hand, and make a fresh diagonal cut near the thread end. Lay scissors down, transfer 'thread to right hand. Hold thread 12" from end between the thumb and forefinger.

Councillor Desrosier reported distributing an in- dustrial survey and that he had advised the Texaco Representative that his request for a new water line to the Garage must be taken to management at the Kimberly-Clark Mill. Councillor J. Caccamo brought up the question of Daylight Savings Time and suggested it be ex- PAGE 7 with your left hand and hold it between your thumb and the first two fingers. Rotate the needle so that you can look through the eye. Bring your hands together so that the second and third fingers of the right hand rest against the back of the finger tips of the left hand to.steady your mo- tions as you bring needle eye to the thread end. Then with a forward roll- ing motion of the right thumb and finger, gently ease the. thread end through the needle eye and at the same time pass the grasp of the needle to the right thumb and finger. With the left hand grasp the thread end and draw it through the eye far enough (6") to tie a knot with the left hand. When you teach, show hand motions exactly the same way each time. Have your daughter do the motions with fabric. The trimming scissors should cut well-at-the points. They are used for almost all sewing other than cutting out. The 7" dressmaker shears with bent handles are for cutting out. The bent handles let the blade rest flat on the table when cutting out a pattern. The small ring handle is for the thumb, and, to give -better leverage, the large oval handle is for two or three fingers. Most scissors are for the right hand. If your daughter -is left handed and finds it too difficult to cut right handed, by all means purchase left-handed scis- sors for her.
