A needle is a thin pointed tool that is most often used in sewing A hole or eye is at the end that is not pointed The needle is one of the very oldest implements used by man and it goes back to the dawn of civilization Early needles were made of bone ivory bronze or thorn They were used to punch holes into animal skins or cloth Needles punched these holes for thin strips of leather or long plant fibers that were pushed through the holes to bind pieces of various material together Stone needles were found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians while the first bronze and iron needles were known to be Roman Steel needles that look very much like those used today were first made by the Chinese and brought into Europe by the Moors during the Middle Ages Europe’s first steel needles came from Nuremberg Germany They were made during the 14th century A German named Elias Grouse taught the art of needle making to the English during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I It has now become an important industry Today’s center is Redditch Worcestershire Large numbers of needles must be imported by the United States today because not many are manufactured domestically The world’s chief producers of needles are England and France Sewing needles are made from Sheffield steel wire The wire is cut into lengths long enough to make two needles The wire is heated to a dull red and then rolled on a flat steel plate to produce evenness and straightness Each end of the wire is ground to a point on a grinding wheel and the center section of the wire is stamped making a flat section of the wire and makes an eye in each groove The wire is then cut to make two needles and the eye end is rounded and smoothed The needles are then hardened and tempered by heating to give them springiness The tempering process turns the needles dark so as a final step in the manufacture they must be scoured polished and given a finish The sewing-machin- e needle has its eye near the point and a groove on one side to help guide the thread The crochet needle has a hook near the point and thread is caught in the hook instead of going through an eye Needles that a surgeon uses for sewing up wounds are made of rustless steel and usually are curved Awards go to girls and boys between the 1 A 3 GEMINI MAY 21 JUNE 20 S5O3-70-80-8- 8 4-- 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 JULY 22 133-43-54-6- 2 M63-76-79-8- 9 LEO 22 J) VIRGO AUG 23 SIFT 22 1 SCORPIO OCT 23 One Who Others V HOY a 38-47- All Happily In SAGITTARIUS Regard Your HOY 22 DEC 21 Care 71 A 72 Weight 73 Water 74 The 75 Anything 16 Are 76 Is 17 Personal 77 Needy 18 Eflorts 78 Closely 19 Endeavors 49 into 79 Not 20 To 50 High 80 About 21 Surprise 51 Diet 61 Read 22 Accounts 52 Help 82 Are 23 On S3 Legal 53 You 24 Pay 54 To 84 Tough 25 Time 55 Ending 65 More 26 Visit 58 Handsomely 88 Spot 27 Others 87 Impressed 57 Watch 28 Chance 58 Don't 68 Most 29 Will 59 Recheck 89 Well 30 01 60 Hot 90 Contracts CANCER JUNE 21 A(G OCT 61 Say Voicing 2 For 3 Cultural 4 AH 5 Opinion 6 Financial 7 Express 8 Private 9 Matter 10 Gats 11 The 12 Love 13 Put 14 Matters 15 Has 20 MAY 20 WHEN WAS THE NEEDLE LIBRA sen To develop message for Tuesday read words corresponding to numbers of your Zodiac birth sign 83-9-0 59-6- 5 By CLAY R POLLAN-Yo- ur Daily Activity Guido According to tho Stars TAURUS Andy sends a line gilt book to Tina Mathis Danville ID tor her question: D7 Tuesday January 19 1988 5644-82-8- 7 CAPRICORN “ DEC JAN 8- - 1 VT AQUARIUS 20 JAW Fit It 32-4- -- 1 81 --85 VJy PISCES PEI It MAh 20 119 By Garry Doonesbury I Trudeau SAL IM MB EXPLAIN 6UHY ASKER YOU IN TUB COMPANY AS ACTING CBO TM ASKING YOUTO HEAD UPTHIS NEW ISABOUTTOEMBARKONA UNDERTAKING YOU THE FULL NEW VENTURE— PR WHOOPEE I GUARANTEE SUPPORT OF THEBOARP!
