J W. Pond, grandfather and
ten times a great-grandfather,
Picked up the knack during the
Christmas holidays, and now he’s
so fascinated with his new fou-
nd talent he won”t give the girls
their beads back except in a
finished product.
Pond took up the tedious task
of stringing and crocheting the
long strands of seed pearls land
small beads, partly to while a-
way the time. A car accident in
December, 1969, left him unable
to work outdoors and continue
the farm work that kept him
occupied until that time. Ho
finds the bead work interesting
and fulfilling - the finished
product is beautiful to see, and
the job requires a certain amo-
unt of precision work, demand-
ing though - but the work is
hardly lucrative, he says. Con-
sidering the time he puts In st-
ringing and crocheting a four or
five strand rope, he figures he
nets maybe sixty cents an hour
for his time. Still, the hobby has
other rewards and Pond enjoys
it. He has made several ropes
for gifts and has no trouble sel-
ling any surplus he produces.
■*Pond has mr.de 21 sets of the
jewelry siiice~Jan. 1. He spends
an estimated four hours string-
i\ig the heads and hours
crocheting one set. But Pond ia
proud of his talent. He has live
daughters, and can keep tip
with the two who adopted (his
hobby with him, aind even beats
them crocheting.
A former janitor in Dublin
schools. Pond retired to farm
work in I960. Since the accide-
nt- left him unable to work out-
doors, he finds his new indoor
hobby interesting and fulfilling.
