The rugs at pre- sent under construction under Mrs. Mark’s guidance exceed a hundred. The technique she uses in her braided rugs is unique and her own creation. Their great beauty lies in their spark- ling colour. both in shading and contrast. This results from Mrs. Mark’s extremely perceptive co- as proved to be the greatest in fact any woven wool or wool blends in varying weights. There are four methods of dyeing (1) spot dyeing, (2) lClothespin dyeing. (3) controlled dyeing. (4) painted dyeing. All. these methods of dyeing will‘ be discussedat the exhibition Mrs. Mark's first rug-show was in 1951. She has held 14 rug-shows and is constantly in demand but limited by time. The 14 rug shows have all been hrill in her life. How she ame to take it up as a hobby vas natural enough. Mrs. Mark as always been interested in nterior decorating and is ex- ert in many handicrafts such -: knitting. sewing and smock- ng. Magazine illustrations of eautit'ul rugs prompted her nterest in rug-making about 950. The dearth of instruction ed her to develop her own lor sense and her skill in the dyeing.

EVERY SATURDAY “Your M.P. Must Be Ever On Guard" Residents and voters in a Canadian politics] constituency have a right to speak of “Our man in Ottawa," when they refer to their Member of Par- Iiament. He is their man because he has assumed a very great responsibility. His is not a duty to be taken lightly. Edmund Burke, the great English parliamentarian, once said: “It ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative (in Parliament) to live in the strictest union and the most unreserved communication, with his con- tituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfaction to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interests to his own.” It was Burke also who said: “Public life is a situation of power and energy; he trespasSes against his :8 (hill. to 5:50 p.m. I Yonge & Elgin Sts. Thornhill ' ““““““-““‘ duty who sleeps upon his watch." It is your responsibility to inquire and know how you have been served, just as it is your rep- resentative’s duty to serve you. The historic Liberal record for York North is a great one. Can that be said of any other party's representa- tion? LIBERAL TRADITION York North has known such Liberal represen- tatives as Sir William Mulock, Rt. Hon. W. L. Mao- kenzie King who was Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Allen Aylesworth, Hon. Bill Mulock and Jack Smith who served long and responsibly.

They understood it and they lived by it. This is what Burke said: “Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it.” These are interesting things to think about if you are a voter in York North with a federal election close at hand. Perhaps they will help you think of the busy and energetic Liberal â€" JOHN ADDISON, Candidate for York North. On June 18 Elect - - LIBERAL-YORK NORTH As Your M.P.
