Greta Hurd studies design in Italy
By CARLA GAFF Staff Writer
Studying art in Italy, or France may well be the dream of many young art students, but for Greta Hurd of Milford, it became a reality this summer Greta is the daughter of John and Carol of r 1 Milford. She is a .1982 Wawasee High School graduate and recently graduated from Goshen College with a BA in home economics and electives in art.
Profile
She has recently returned from Italy and a three-week Goshen College Art Study Tour, which started on June 13 and ran through July 4. While there, the 14 students visited Rome, Florence, Pisa and Revenna. She stated, “One thing I noticed about people in Italy was that they were all very friendly. But, when you looked at their houses, most had large locks on their doors and bars on their windows." She stated that she would like to live in Italy because, "it was really interesting to see the old worked in with the new. I could spend a year just studying the architect. ''

Ceramic tile adds finishing touch
I By MARIETTA F. HENRY I | Extension Home Economist \
A 4,700-year-old history stands behind ceramic tile as a finishing touch to decorating. Tile's basic component is fired clay, but its multitude of uses as an easy care decorating medium is limited only by the imagination. Tile is available in a variety of colors, as is grout, the material between tiles that gives the installation a finished look. Moreover, the potential for decorating is almost limitless, due to tile’s availability in a variety of textures, sizes, shapes and patterns. Durability and easy maintenance make tile a long range investment. Because of its longevity, selection of the right tile for its intended use is critical. Ceramic tile is available in both glazed and unglazed versions. Glazed tile is traditionally used for surfaces of walls, countertops and floors. The glaze, applied to the tile before firing, gives it color. Selections of finishes ranges from abrasive-grained and matte to high gloss Surfaces of ceramic mosaics have small dimensions — oneinch squares, two-inch squares and two-by-one inch rectangles These solid porcelain tiles resist stains, are waterproof and are almost indestructible. Mosaics.

glazed or unglazed, lend their surfaces easily to floors, walls, countertops, window sills, fireplaces and swimming pools Quarry and paver tiles, also in glazed and unglazed forms, have a uniform color and texture. These heavy duty tiles work best on hard use areas, such as floors Other applications include walls and fireplace facings. The most familiar of these tiles is the earthy-red color in six-inch squares, often used in floors The right choice for a specific use is as true of grout as it is for tiles themselves. Grout materials include cement, epoxies and silicone rubber with developments in some that provide waterproof, mildewresistant and easy-to-clean joints. The properties of tile make it a logical medium for decorating nearly all interior and exterior surfaces. Its patterns, shapes and colors mix and match well with decorating schemes in the same room and in transition areas bet ween rooms. Tile is a natural choice for areas w here stains are a frequent problem, where traffic is heavy and where areas are part of a grooming center. Tile has many advantages, but some cautionary words are in order. Tile floors can be slippery when wet. Therefore, heavier tiles with a grainy texture, often fired into the glaze, provide a safer floor covering. Since tile is a hard surface, consideration should be given to the comfort level of standing for any periods of time, particularly in areas such as the kitchen. Glass or china is likely to break when dropped on such a surface while a dropped heavy object may cause damage to the tile In addition, a
tile surface does not absorb sound. Ceramic tile provides decorative visual effects

( AMP CROSLEY PROGRAM - Jeff Smith, left, assistant at Camp Crosley. described the activities of this popular camp for Kiwanis Club of Lakeland. North Webster, on Monday morning. July 13. Camp Crosley is a Muncie YMCA facility, located on the east shore of Little Tippecanoe Lake, two miles southwest of North Webster. Jack Maule, right, program chairman, is assisting in showing one of the brochures of the camp. The land for Camp Crosley was purchased from the Baugher family in 1921. Since then, additional tracts have been added to the original camp land. Camp Crosley is named after Crosley Ball, the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Ball of Muncie. The camp is under the jurisdiction of the Ball Foundation. Smith pointed out that Camp Crosley is basically a YMCA facility which serves not only Muncie, but surrounding cities as well. In it several years, the camp also served as a football training camp for high school, college and professional football teams. Later. IHSAA regulations restricted this type of training for athletic teams. In addition to YMCA activities, the camp is used by school bands, boating and sailing experiences, swimming and other programs for youth.

Though she is very interested in art, and has approximately 20 credits in the department, she said her real ambition is to go into clothing design. “I actually have enough art credits to have a minor in art, but they 're not in the right classes,” commented Greta. "When we studied paintings in Italy, I looked at the clothing,” she said, “or sometimes I would notice that a specific abstract design would also make a neat material design.” From the time she was very young, Greta has wanted to go into clothing design and took clothing and fashion design projects in 4-H for eight years receiving blue ribbons most of the time. "When I was only six or seven years old I started making Barbie doll clothes. I enjoyed making clothes and liked the challenge,” explained Greta. "My mom says I was born with a needle and thread in my hand.” “My parents really encourage me to keep working,” said Greta, "and doing what I want to do. But, some of my really crazy designs they don’t say a lot about.” Greta has sewn Christmas presents for her family and constructed the bridesmaids' dresses for her brother’s wedding, as well as designing apparel for others, though she is not currently working fora seamstress or a specific company. “My intentions are to open my own shop,” stated Greta, “but I feel I need to wait till things become more steady.'' She went on to say that she hasn't done any advertising, and those she has sewn for have come to her through personal recommendations. "It’s basically through word-of-mouth at this point,” she said. Greta Hurd is not interested in becoming a great artist, or even an art teacher, though art will always be a big part of her life and her ultimate career as a clothing designer.
simultaneously with practicalityin maintenance and care. Os all surfacing materials, tile is undoubtedly one of the easiest to
maintain. Regular care is the key Procedures for cleaning tile and grout depend on several factors: the type of tile, glazed or unglazed; and its susceptibility to stains. In any case, stainless steel pads should be avoided to eliminate the possibility of rust stains. Terra cotta and unglazed quarry tile can be cleaned by first wetting the surface with clean water. Then wash with an all purpose household cleaner according to package directions Rinse thoroughly. Special sealers are available to protect the surface from scratching, staining and soiling. One or two coats of a selfpolishing floor care product may also be used as a sealer. A periodic waxing makes cleaning easier and protects the sealer. Most water base polishes can be used and will produce a shine. Or use a solvent base buffing w’ax for a satiny luster. Effective cleaning for most glazed tiles calls for the application of an all-purpose household cleaner (diluted or full-strength). a pump spray or aerosol cleaner. Rinse with clean water and buff tiles with a dry cloth to prevent water spots. Use a brush to clean grout with a household cleaner, cleanser or tub. tile and sink cleaner. For badly stained or mildewed grout, the soap and detergent association recommends making a solution of liquid chlorine bleach <3/4 cup to 1 gallon water* applied carefully with a brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Ceramic tile gives decorating schemes a classic upscale look with downscale care and cleaning.
