MATCHSTICK COTTAGE
Most people throw away burned match-sticks. Ellis Ahronson, aged 16, of Storks-road, Bermondsey, had a better idea than that. He saved up ten thousand matchsticks. Then he used them, with a pot or two of glue and four years of his spare time, in building a model cottage with tennis courts and a tea garden. The model was on view at the exhibition of the Dunlop Art Society, which Sir Josiah Stamp opened at the New Burlington •Galleries, London, yesterday. Besides models, more than a thousand artists, from 1.8 countries, who de not expect fame or fortune from their art have sent paintings, embroideries, woodwork carvings, leather work and other handicrafts to the show, which will continue until December 19. This is the first international exhibition to be held by the society, which was founded three years ago by the Dunlop Rubber Company, tn encourage its workers to make the most of their hobbies.
