ZYour Turn 7

One of the important functlons of any newspaper Is to provide readers with a means of Indicating their stand on important Issues of the day. That’s what Your Turn Is all about — a chance for you not only to take a stand on an issue but to find out how many other people feel the same way.

Newspapers and magazines point out that this week marks the 50th anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929.

A num- ber of market analysts have suggested the spectre of economic depression is looming once more in the future. What do you say?

“*Even before the design is formulated, I begin to buy fabric in order to have a broad palette of color,-just as I would as a painter, even though I may actually use only a quarter or so of it on a quilt. It may take weeks to find just the right fabric, since color and its inter-relation- ships are very important to me,

“*My subject matter comes from a strong interest in the organic — flowers, insects, birds, animals and, more recently, the human figure. In my work, these have become highly stylized, and are: somewhat reminis- cent of Art Nouveau or Art Deco or pethaps both.

“The quilts are becom- ing more and more exotic too almost erotic, as you might find the work of Gustave Klimpt or some Japanese prints, with rich overlays of fabrics, textures and colors.

According to a news re- lease by the hospital last week, the transfer of the property from the BCBC at a cost of $133,S00°— to the hospital — its book value, rather than the $91,000 price previously set in an inter- ministerial agreement — ‘appears possible."
