He is shown with some of his masterpieces Including, a Clipper ship that took 12 hours of continuous work to make. Glass Blowing Takes Steady Hand By ANN GOUVALARIS Staff Wriler HAMPTON With the steady hand of a diamond cutter "and lithe sweep of a ballet dancer, Pat Dee bends glass rods to form everything from tiny deer to 30 inch five masted Clipper ships. Dee blows and sculpts glass long, hollow and solid glass He'uses a heat-resistant to work continuously until the -glass that melts under his "specially made glass blowing torch operating at 15,000 degrees Farenheit. As the glass tube melts, Dei stretches the strand and bend it to form a particular piece. He calls it "drawing will glass." The important thing maintain! Dee, is to keep working on thi piece while its hot.

This is the difficult portion of the art be cause it requires the sculptor piece is finished. This continuous work i dramatized by the replica SPCA on Pet Care for the Prevention of Cruelty pet should be at least six week to Animals is faced constantly with the problem of finding homes for pets that owners no Jonger want.

In an effort assist in this situation the 'New Hampshire SPCA has pre-pared a number of articles from various sources which will appear in this column.

Kiwanis Club Plans to Sponsor Charity Auction The Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth will sponsor the annual Kiwanis charity auction in Mm when you buy him. His home should be of meta at least 18 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 3 to 6 feet long He needs lots of room for exer cise. If possible, allow him to play in a closed room occasionally.

The easiest cage for you to clean will be one with a wire mesh floor with a tray beneath it to catch droppings. If your guinea pig is not familiar with wire mesh floors, cover it with hay far two weeks so he can accustom himself to such a living arrangement. The tray should be covered with sawdust, peat moss, or oat or rice straw. Guina pigs like to sleep on a shelf about four inches above floor. The cage should be cleaned thoroughly every week; the tray should be cleaned at least three times a week and the bedding replaced.

A guinea pig is most comfortable at a temperature ranging between 65 and 76 degree. If two guinea pigs are in the same cage, a partition should be included in the cage so that the guinea pigs can have separate sleeping quarters. Guinea "pigs eat often so be sure plenty of food is available, preferably from a mesh hopper or food container hanging inside the cage. As a vegetable eater, your guinea pig will thrive on guinea pig or rabbit pellets fbe sure the pellets are fresh), plus some green food, such as cabbage, kale, carrots, dandelions or lettuce. Fresh drinking water must always be available (the use of a water bottle is recommended).

Guinea pigs don't bite unless they are upset, so respect your guinea pig's feelings! If you don't pick him up properly, he'll squeal, squirm or scratch. The proper way to pick him up is support him with one hand under his hind limbs while the other hand lifts around his shoulders. If your guinea pig does bile vou and doesn't let go, don't jull away from him, just pour, water on his head and ie'11 let go (all bites should oe examined by a doctor). The above is taken from the lamphlct "The Care of Small a beer wagon dragged by eight Clydesdale horses that took him 72 hours of continuous work to complete. Dee keeps this in his collection along with a five masted clipper ship that measures 24 inches by 30 inches and took 48 hours to complete.

His private collection also includes two jousting knights and an intricately detailed Model T. His future goal is to sculpt a replica of St. Peter's Basilica. Dee started learning his craft 35 years when he apprenticed to a glassblower. "When I was 14, I worked after school and weekends for a glassblower," said Dee.

The glassblower didn't have a son to pass the craft onto, so he taught Dee after realizing the boy had an aptitude for it. It took Dee 10 years to learn how to sculpt glass. Today Dee is teaching the craft to his 14 year old nephew Randy Bouchard of Newburyport, Mass. "I had two daugh- and neither were interested," said Dee, who wanted to preserve the art. Dee's favorite piece and hardest single piece to make is a rocking chair.

"It look many years to perfect the rocking chair piece," said Dee, carefully molding the rocker portion to balance. "That's the hard part (getting he rocker to balance," said Dee, as he finished a piece and it ierenly rocked on the bench. Dee, who has operated glassblowing shop, at the beach 'or 21 years, is on a call list at NBC. "If they ever need a glassblower, they call me," ie said proudly, admitting he las done his craft on the old Steve Allen tonight show and he Arlene Francis Morning Show.
