Following is the third of a series of interesting articles which Mr. Wolsted h_ a s prepared exclusively for this publication concerning the work in which he and Mrs. Wolsted are engaged. in this manner. a Iittl~ ingenuity will do. One pastor's wife organized a woman's mat-making association for her area, the educational department is adding this work to the curriculum and so it goes forward. The sky line is everywhere dotted with the cocoanut palms. But in the past the cocoanut husks were discarded, or, at best, used for fuel. Here was raw material for rope-making. An International Harvester company booklet gave us ideas on rope-making and now we have a machine putting waste products to use. The picturesque sight of the woman going to the well with a water jar on her head is common. Since the local clay is famed for the making of water jars, it was natural to infer that it would make good tile. Samples of clay were sent to the tile factories of western India for analysis. The report was most favorable and now an Indian firm has built up a tile plant in our town and is sending house tile bv the cart-loarls to neighboring areas. There is a large field for this type of pioneering. The day for using machine-made products only has not yet arrived in India. There is no question in regard to the difference of quality and output of the machine-made product over the hand-made. The problem is how to provide work for the millions of idle men and women of the rural areas. The people can only be helped as t 1 H'Y T learn to help themselves. hey must stand on their own feet.

This year he declined the presidency of the National Congress in order to devote his time to furthering the Khaddar campaign. This is a mov.:!ment to introduce cottage industries into the 800,000 villages. The Indian farmer has not followed a diversified system of farming but has been idle for from four to six months each year. To meet this situation subsidiary occupations are being encouraged and revived.
