The Langham as history. The oldest patchwork in existence is in the Cairo Museum and is an Egyptian funeral pall 3,000 years old. Most of its decoration is in ap- plique. Applique probably started by chan- ce when a hole was repaired with a contrasting material. It has been used for centuries as a decoration for ec- clesiastic and domestic decorations. Quilting and patchwork in Canada date back to the first settlers from Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. As clothing wore out, it was collected as useful ‘‘patches’’ and often ended up in thick warm quilts used to keep the family warm during the cold Canadian winters, the Langham says. A quilt takes a long time to make. The materials must be assembled, harmonizing and contrasting the materials. The available materials of- ten suggest a design to the maker and the long hours of construction begin. It often takes up to 500 hours to com- plete a quilt, with each stitch of the quilting being carefully sown meticulously and evenly Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, noon to 4:30 p.m. Saunier ane I p.m. to4 p.m. Sunday. Cultural Centre acknowledges the Kootenay Quilters Guild for its en- couragement and interest in bringing Quilts Then — Quilts Now to fruition and to those who have loaned their family treasures to the show.

Lee Landis and Ida Calderbank at- tended 4 workshop at Kimberley in May on training nurses to teach at the breast self examination clinics. The annual clinic is to be held two evenings in mid-October. Posters will be placed in appropriate places and an ad will be put in the local paper. Women are urged to practise this technique once a month so that any lumps may be discovered early. If a biopsy shows it to be malignant, treatment can begin immediately. The importance and benefit of early cannot be over the Cancer Society says. Joan Martini, campaign chairman, reported the annual April campaign was a success and Darcy McKinnon of Thrums raised $1,200 for the Cancer Society by collecting pledges for having his long hair shaved off while his fellow employees watched. Dororthy Martini, treasurer, repor- ts the in memoriam donations con- tinue to play a major role in the finan- ces of the society. ‘Cancer patients_and their families continue to be given emotional and financial assistance when required.
