The idea emerged from the creative imagination of Rosanne Chilton, a pretty young housewife and mother who is also a part time pharmacist for Holy Cross Hospital. And her own quest for self improvement has spilled over into the lives of 14 of her friends . . . indirectly bringing joy to hundreds of children. A college graduate, Rosanne had put her career on the back burner while she played the role of wife and mother. But she got tired of talking about such mundane things as having babies and housework. And frustrated by the fact that although she had a strong background m science she had a minimal amount of knowledge about the language sciousness and improve their minds by reading great classical literature, but it would also afford them an opportunity to meet once a month to discuss what they had read. The thought found instant favor among and from midsummer to September they eagerly explored the plays of Shakespeare Tragedy of Dr. Foster. But as Christmas drew near they began to search for a project that could be a gift to the community, and stumbled onto the idea of doing a puppet show based on an opera by the German composer Englebert Humperdinck . . . using his music as a background. To obtain a foundation for the project Rosanne contacted Lynne Anne Richards, who does shows for the Promised Valley Play House. Invited to the Richards home, Rosanne found not only ideas for the show, but an abundance of encouragement and enthusiasm to go ahead with the proposal. But she I felt that my friends and I needed to have something other than our house, our garden and our kids to share, she said, and I needed to stimulate myself to have a deadline type association with reading ... instead of trying to find time to read. a Christopher Marlowes and arts. Coutg the women in her neighborhood, force behind the mother; Rosanne was advised to begin with the mup-pe- t style puppets, with the idea of moving into marionettes later on. Out of this meeting grew a script written by Linda Keddington, and four puppets made out of fuzzy blanket fabric, with facial expressions designed by Terry Powell. And as time went on, slowly a father, mother and two children took shape that gradually assumed the familiar faces of the fairy tale characters in Hansel and Gretel. By this time the husbands of the women involved became interested in what they were doing and it became a joint venture, with some of the men actually getting into the act. Linda Bryant put together the soundtrack that features Mark Chilton as the voice of the father; Denise Hill, the voice of the mother; Alan Quarnberg the voice of Hansel; and Sharon Miller portrays Gretel. The only live character is Debbie Odekirk, who is cast in the role of the witch. She pantomimes the sound track on which Norma Otto speaks the witchs lines. John Bryant is the narrator, and Ronnie Thompson built the stage. Manipulation of the puppets is done by the officers of the literary circle. Norma Otto, president, handles the father; Cathy Thompis the moving son, president-elec- t, secretary, Chilton, historian-treasure- Gretel.

She is the mother of a junior high student, Damon, and three girls, Tonia, Alicia and Danica in elementary. Joan has accepted the fact that Damon has his own ideas of what he by Bernice Ursenbach Keeping a family in good clothes is task for all mothers. Young people not only need adequate clothing but being in style and wearing the name labels is also important to them. a challenging or wont wear and, within reason, tries to go along with his ideas. However, it is sewing for her girls and herself that really cuts her clothing budget to the bare bone. Sewing has not always been Joans thing. When I was twelve I took a sewing class at downtown ZCMI and the only thing I remember about it was eating ice cream cones as my friend and I rode the escalators in the store. Her junior high sewing class made no impression either, so she dropped sewing in high school. However, after she married and had a baby, she decided that sewing might be not only a hobby, but an absolute necessity. She bought some patterns and with the aid of an older sister who patiently answered her questions she was led through those painful early sewing experiences. Amazingly, she found she liked it and had a knack for putting that special touch of trim on each article she made. Now Joan is an inveterate bargain hunter. I never buy fabric or lace and trim unless it is on sale, she remarks, and then I buy large pieces, not knowing exactly how it will be used. She haunts the discount fabric stores, but only when she has some money to spend because she can't leave a fabric store without a parcel in her hand. Wise selection of patterns is also a g habit. Joan suggests that patterns should be chosen with the idea that theyll be used more than once. It is possible to use a dress pattern to make a blouse and conversely, a blouse pattern can often be used to make a dress. It is also possible to combine patterns, using a sleeve from one pattern, perhaps adding a trim detail from another or even changing the neckline. But be sure to compare the pattern pieces you intend to interchange to make certain theyll otherwise you fit, says Joan, will Danica gets up high so her mother can level a hem in the jumper she is making for her youngest daughter.

She has also stopped making coats for her family because her sewing machine doesnt do well with the heavy, bulky fabrics. A jogging suit is the only sewing shes done for Joel, her husband. However, shes found sewing for her girls and herself saves money to be used for other needs and it also gives her great satisfaction as she realizes she is doing much to win the battle against inflation in her home. quilted vests for all her nieces, buying just one pattern and then adjusting it as needed for the different sizes. Joan never throws a scrap of fabric away that might be used as trim. Then when she decides on a sewing project, she considers buying fabric which will match the trim she has saved.

Joan confesses that Ive never bought a robe pattern, I use a dress pattern and modify it to make the robe I want. Once when making a Halloween costume, Joan recalled reading that pioneer women would lay their children on a piece of fabric and cut it to fit the child. She decided to try the pioneer idea. She laid her child on the fabric, pulled the material up around the child to the seam line, added enough for a seam allowance and cut out the costume. She admits she probably wouldnt try it on a fitted article but for a costume, it worked fine. When Joans children were younger, she often used old (but into good) clothing to clothes for them. She once made Damon a pair of dress pants from a pair of corduroy slacks her husband, Joel, didnt like. Joel also had an unworn shirt, so Joan took it apart and cut out one for Damon. She placed the pattern in a way to use the buttons and buttonholes down the front and also the buttonholes on the sleeve cuffs. Joan once made a jacket for herself from a dark brown, wide-wal- e skirt. She corduroy cut the back and front of the jacket from the skirt and from a remnant of light brown corduroy, she cut the sleeves, collar and pocket flaps. When her sister donated out grown from her family, Joan carefully remodeled them to fit her girls. This talented gal marvels at the patterns, fabric and trims available today.
