Creative Ceramics
A Primitive Craft Becomes
J'J.Z5,I9.7i
Pottery making is one of the
oldest handicrafts. .
As far back as the stone age,
utensils were madeof day. The
first primitive pieces were
made by hand with no other
tools and werenot fired. In time
primitive potters noticed that
foe made day objects harder
and more durable. The result
was a porous which we call
Pottery.
Simple decorations were
made by scratching or im-
pressing the wet day surface
with various tools. And soon it
was discovered theycould paint
or pour different colored clays
which had been moistened in
A Fine
water to a pastry or gruel like
consistency over the newly
formed half dry object to get
pleasing decorative effects.
TMs technique today is known
as engabing or slip decorating.
Much time passed before man
thought of glazing this pottery.
In Egypt, green and blue glazes
are traced to prehistoric times
and the oldest article dates
from King Menes' reign about
3900 B. C.
The art of glazin g developed
more rapidly in China than
anywhere else in the world. A

ination of slip de
figure, was fust covered with a
layer of light slip and than with
a yellow lead glaze. Before the
Mal glazing, decorations could
be painted on the slip with metal
oxides. This technique of
painting directly on the day
was called underelaze minting.
Porcelain soon developed
from stoneware as the amount
of kaolin was increased in the
day will it became the prin-
cipal component. True por-
celain is recognized by a

After the lam century the
development of ceramics made
no new technical advances, and
in artistic terms the 19th can -
bury was considered a decline.
In this =buy potters attempted
to free themselves from the
influences of the past with an
over emphasis on pictorial art.
Today this primitive craft has
become the fine art of ceramics. .
An inspiration to many,
making ceramics has great
appeal to those who enjoy doing
handwork. Fantasy and a
feeling for form and color have
here—as in few other crafts-
-full freedom of expression.
A few years ago Mrs. James
D. Boger of Mocksville became
interested in this hobby of
ceramics. Turning the
basement of their home on the
Statesville Highway into
literally a ceramic's factory,
she and others are fending this
hobby turning to almost a
commercial venture as the
demand for their creative
ceramics continues to increase.
in addition to Mrs- Boger,
Mrs. W. T. Spencer and Mrs.
Johnny Walker use their am-
sitive fingers and artistic
talents to turn out charming
figurines of all types. Others
have come to the shop for in-
structions from time to time.
Birds, fruits and Bowers are
all an inspiration for design for
these women. Many of these
can find a place in wall
decoration and also as a can-
terpiece for modern table
decoration. And in 'fashion

sonal adornment such as pins,

Wheel chair basketball has
been described as "an amaz-

People who have seen games
say the players are equal to
the task.

The Chattanooga wheelchair basket-

amuputees in the Chattanooga, Tenn. area.
This team was organized m January of
1954 to give -greater opportunities to people
In wheelchairs and also to demonstrate to
the general public that there are many and
various activities suitable for people in
wheelchairs.
Also, another main objective of wheel
chair basketball is to point out and display
the fact that although many people are
confined to a wheelchair they still have
many capabilities and possibilities.
For the first couple of years after be-
ing organized this Chattanooga team play-

no other wheelchair -teams in the South at

The Bermuda Run Golf Course, although
only one year old, meets developer Billy
Satterfield's prediction that it would look
three years old by September. The grass,
which has been thickened and heightened
in color by recent rains, appears in prime
shape for the opening event on Saturday.
Proceeds from the event will go to the
Buddy Worsham Scholarship Fund at
Wake Forest.
Before returning to his home in Latrobe,
Pa., Palmer will be installed into the Wake

will not be open Saturday; however, ac-
cording to developer Satterfield, it is
nearly completed and furnishings for it
have been arriving daily.
When the clubhouse is completed, it will ?
be furnished in a Chippendale motif in the
colors of the Bermuda Run crest -orange,
lime and cobalt combined with shades of
browns and white. Interior designer Reece
McClure described the style as livable
combining plush fabrics with vinyl and
wood surfaces.
Around the golf course several private
homes are under construction. Near the
river in back of the Clubhouse a complex of
golfdominiums is rising. The club pool and
tennis courts are already completed and U
newly formed lakes dot the landscape.
Tickets to the match on Saturday are still
on sale at the Bermuda Run sales office, at
The Northwestern Bank in Clemmons and
at Wake Forest; however, according to
Bobby Batson, Wake Forest Director of
Athletic Publicity, only 5,000 tickets were
i
made available for the event since there is
limited parking space.

Funds Secured For Hickory Hill Club
A giant step forward was
taken Tuesday when the
necessary funds for the
construction of the Hickory
Hill Golf and Country Club
were made available by the
Farmers Home Administration.
A deed of trust, securing a
loan of 328,000, was executed
by the corporation and the
funds. deposited. in. ,the
corporation's account.
"These funds, together with
the initiation fees, will be
adequate to assure the
construction of a superior
facility and one of which all
the people of Davie County
can be justly proud", said
George W. Martin,
vice-president of the
corporation.
Mr. Martin acted for the
corporation at the loan closing
in the absence of Dr. Henry C.
Sprinkle, president oof the
corporation.
Also present at the meeting,
and representing the Farmers
Home Administration, was
Charles Tressler, District
Supervisor, and Clarence Sink,
Coonly Sups rviwr.
Charles Spear, secretary of
the corporation, has written a
letter of appreciation and
thanks on behalf of the
corporation to Clarence Sink
for his invaluable assistance in
securing the loan.
This action culminates
many months of tireless,
diligent and often times
frustrating labor by the board
of directors and the many

_---. . Clearing is underway for golf course.
Recent rains have caused
the grubbing and grading for
the fairways on the new 18
hole golf course to fall behind
schedule, according to Hendrix
and Candler Construction Co.
prime contractor for the
Hickory Hill Golf and Country
Club. Clearing of the golf
course is nearly complete, it
was reported, as was the area
on which the club house,
swimming pool and parking lot
twit be constructed.
Initial construction on the
club house is held up pending
delivery of the special utility
brick. This is due to the unique
construction of the club house.
Rather than being of the
conventional veneered type,
the load bearing exterior walls
arc of buillup construction. A
special double faced utility
brick will be used for all
interior walls. All of the
contractors have agreed that if
good weather prevails it is
anticipated that completion
dales will be met. Al a
recent meeting of the board of
directors for the Hickory Hill
Gulf and Country Club the
president Dr. Henry C.
Sprinkle, appointed Barney B.
Miller as head of a screening
com mit ice to review
applications to the position of
club manager.
The board of directors
concurred that hiring of a
manger should conic early in
the construction period. This
would allow the manager to
become familiar with the
construction of the golf course
to insure proper maintenance
in the future. It was hoped by
the board that a suitable
manager, well versed in
developing the tees, greens and
fairways. could be located by
early spring. The board fcl l this
type of manager would be
more suitable for tile club in its
formative years than a playing
gulf professional.
At the same meeting a
conlmittec, headed by John A.
Guglielmi, was also appointed
to investigate the hiring of a
pool lifeguard.
Also on the meeting's
agenda was a discussion
concerning appointment of
many of Hickory Hill's
members to various
responsibilities, such as the
building, rules, house, pool and
greens committtees. Also
discussed was a club
newsletter.
By far the most important
action of the board was the
announcement of a new
membership drive to recruit
additional members to the
Hickory HBI Golf and Country
Club. The initial membetshill
drive,. held early last surnmer,
was intended to recruit a
minimum of 260 memberships
and to raise $39,000.00;
however, much to everyones
surprise well over 300
memberships were obtained.
At that time the initation fee
was only $150 but after
September 1, 1968 the fee was
mused to $250 with the dues
remaining at S 15 per month. In
as much as the club's facilities
were designed for upwards of
400 members, the board of
directors fell that additional
members should be secured
before construction has been
completed.
To provide many
newcomers to the county, as
well as those who were unable
to become charter members, an
opportunity to join the
organization, it has been
decided to accept the $250
initiation fee at the rate of
$100 down with subsequent
payments of $ly per month
until the balance of the in has
been paid. The board stressed
in their announcement that
initiation fees are not
returnable and that all fee
payments must be made
concurrent with the club dues
upon their effective date.
Potential members may
contact any of the members of
the board of directors or they
may write to Hickory HBI Golf
and Country Club, P.O. Box 6.
Mocksville, for an application
blank and full particulars.
