OPTIS was founded in 1989 by Jacques Delacour, graduate of the Paris School of Optics ‘ESO’. Today he is still at the head of the company which has grown to employee nearly 50 people, with offices in North America, Germany and Japan. The company’s headquarters are in Toulon, South of France…
Everyone has their own way of doing things and this is the way I like to put these HSTs together. I mark the direction that I want to press rows with my pins while the rows are still on the design wall. I press in the direction that the pin is pointing (even I an remember that!) and I always put the pins on the left side of the rows. After they HSTs are sewn together into a row I finger press the seams from the right side in the direction of the pins while the row is on the ironing board and then I press with the iron. When I put two rows together for the long horizontal seam, the pressed seams nest and make it really easy to match them. I generally pin about every third intersection and the other intersections I can feel with my fingers. When the rows are sewn together, I set-press the seam on the wrong side and then turn the top row to the top (my flower pins are always on the left, so it's easy to see what's the top) finger press at each seam and then press with the iron. I then spray starch the seam and press again.

How valuable is a Kuba Cloth? They are not too expensive. I have seen them priced up to $300 depending upon the condition and the design. That's our value or a value according to an American standards.
But consider its Congo value. A good Kuba Cloth could be worth school tuitions for a family of six children. That's the value of a year of education at a primary or secondary bush school. It does not take must to send a child to school for a year. But if you are poor, it could be like a million dollar debt. It is out of the reach of many people in rural Congo.

The Kodachrome Pictures:
These recently uploaded Kodachrome pictures have no artistic value. They were just uploaded to be representative of consumer Kodachrome picture recording during about 70 of the 75 years that Kodachrome was commercially available to the public. Unlike in today’s digital world it took time, money and effort to make a Kodachrome slide. We took fewer pictures, trying to stretch resources, but some sere still frivolous.
I’m 97 (2016) and all tuckered out. I probably will not post much more.. The ratio of today’s digital pictures that are kept for any length of time and/or printed is much less than the film photos taken in days past. History will be lost. Meanwhile you get to be bored by some old Kodachromes.
The Camera:
Most of these pictures are not very sharp. They were taken with an Argus AF 35mm miniature Bakelite camera bought in 1938 at the USNA by saving much of my small student stipend for about six months. It had a Cooke style three element lens of marginal quality for its day of laughable quality compared with any of today’s SLR lenses. It had slightly better resolving ability than today’s ever more scarce disposable film cameras. The AF was an Argus upgrade which enabled the camera to focus at different lengths from about 1.5 feet to infinity. Most consumer cameras of that day were what we call medium format today. Most of the cheaper consumer grade cameras were little more than box- cameras with single element non-focusing meniscus lenses. The larger film hid much of the softness. The then newer miniature cameras had to do better because of the smaller film exposure size.

An exquisitely restored stone farmhouse situated among the rolling hills, fields, and vineyards of the Gaillac region of southern France, “La Bourthoumarie” is just a few kilometers from the lovely historic village of Cordes sur Ciel.
Written up in several European travel guides, “La Bourthoumarie” features four bedrooms, two covered outdoor dining areas, a 10-meter pool with large terrace, lovely gardens, and incredible views. The large rooms are flooded with natural light and contain fireplaces, original terra cotta tiled floors, and traditional exposed wood beam ceilings.
The well-equipped kitchen opens to a covered breakfast terrace, which is in fact the restored bread oven. A large, three-arched, attached barn houses a second outdoor dining area and barbecue.
A wide, gently spiraling, wood-and-iron staircase leads to the upper two floors, which contain four spacious bedrooms — two with double beds and private bathrooms and two with twin beds and a shared bathroom. Original wood floors contribute to the light and airy ambiance.
The beautifully landscaped ten-meter by five-meter pool is naturally chlorinated by an electrolysis system.
An hour from Toulouse, “La Bourthoumarie” offers an ideal setting to unwind or to explore the ancient and historic Gaillac appellation wine region and its fascinating medievale ‘bastide’ villages, including Cordes sur Ciel, which boasts lovely shops and restaurants, including one with a coveted Michelin star. The town of Albi, with its famous fortified cathedral and renowned Toulouse Lautrec museum, is nearby. The Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts are only a few hours away, as are the Pyrenees.
Adventures and activities abound for adults and children alike, including biking, tennis, golf, canoeing, rock climbing, and fishing.

I found all this at Value Village, all told for $72 No sets are complete, all are missing at least 1 or two minifigs, smaller items in the set, and a couple cases had some glue on them, most notable the TIE advanced. Still one heck of a deal.

Streams are rare in the district and their value to industry is exemplified in the Kenidjack Valley which contains a remarkable concentration of industrial remains. Where the valley meets the sea, Porthledden Cove is dominated by views to Cape Cornwall but in the valley itself the river course has been repeatedly moved and numerous manmade watercourses (leat systems) skirt the hillsides.
Kenidjack Valley. The entire valley bears extensive evidence of mining. The Kenidjack stream once powered up to fifty waterwheels. When steam engines were installed lower down the valley, two out of five only operated during periods of prolonged dry weather.

Leeton. Population 7,500.
Like Griffith, Leeton was a child of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area and also a town designed by the architect who laid out Canberra, Walter Burley Griffin. One of the three men behind the establishment of the MIA was Sir Samuel McCaughey who had a grand house built just outside of Leeton in Euroley Road Yanco. It is now the Yanco Agricultural High School. McCaughey had started his own private irrigation system with channel at Yanco in the early 20th century for pastoralism. He bought Yanco pastoral station (he already had several others) and at great cost built over 300 kms of water channels so that he could not irrigate but supply water to 40,000 acres. In 1906, as a Member of the Legislative Council he envisaged a big government scheme that would support of population of over 50,000 people. In 1906 the NSW government passed a bill to construct the Burrinjuck Dam. Water from that dam first became available in 1912. By 1960 there were over 1,900 kms of water supply channel, over 1,200 kms of drainage channels. The town was named Leeton after the Minister of Public Works at that time Charles Lee. The MIA water supply is now for horticulture more than pastoralism except in the outer areas. Leeton is now the rice capital of Australia but extensive areas of citrus trees and vines are grown. McCaughey’s dream ended for him in 1919 when he died at his home in Yanco. His estate was valued at £1,600 million of which he left to charities, the Presbyterian Church, hospitals etc. and a quarter of his estate went to the University of Sydney. At one time before his death he owned around 3.25 million acres! His sandstone and brick mansion at Yanco was left to the area as a school.
The central park in Leeton is McCaughey Park. Walter Burley Griffin was a follower of the Garden City Movement, like Charles Reade the designer of Colonel Light Gardens hence the curved and circular roads, and the avoidance of rectangles and squared corners. Streets were designed to follow contours and the highest point of Leeton, opposite the Hydro Hotel has three decorative water towers named after Walter Burley Griffin. The oldest was erected in 1913, the second in 1937 and the last in 1974 to feed water by gravity to the town. The first solid building built in Leeton was the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Trust offices in 1912 which later became the Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission building in 1937 when a new Art Deco building was opened. . It is now the town museum and art gallery. This Trust employed the men who built the town and in the early years 250 homes were built each year, and the Trust workshops employed about 100 men. Because so much of the town was built during the Art Deco period with 21 buildings registered by the NSW Art Deco society which is impressive as they only list about 80 in the Sydney region. Most of the best examples of Art Deco in Leeton are mainly in: Pine and Kurrajong Avenues. Leeton has an annual Art Deco festival during July each year. Most of the earliest building in Leeton were timber framed and the beautiful Art Deco ones came along in the 1920s to 1940s.
In terms of development of the region at lot happened in 1914 as farmers were on their lands and residents were accommodated in Leeton and workers accommodated in barracks. The Leeton Progress Association was formed in 1914 as were the Yanco Agricultural and Horticultural Society, the Murrumbidgee Dairy Farmers Association (the butter rectory opened in 1913), the Murrumbidgee Farmers Union and the local newspaper, The Murrumbidgee Irrigator began publishing. Clarkes brothers General Store was in a solid shop as opposed to the 1911 tin shed. The one teacher school built in 1911 had five teachers and around 300 children by 1914. A Catholic School began in 1917 using the church as its school room until 1936. By 1914 Leeton had Methodist (replaced 1937), Baptist (replaced 1937), Anglican (the parish hall added in 1929) and Catholic churches (replaced in 1955). The current Presbyterian Church was built in 1957, replacing the 1916 timber framed one. By 1914 Leeton had only one Bank that of NSW (replaced in 1938). A second bank did not open until 1920 – the Commercial Bank of Sydney (replaced in 1957.) Leeton is a prosperous still growing town. One of the important employers in town is the Sunrise rice mill. It is the headquarters of Sunrise Australia which exports much of the rice not destined for the domestic market in Australia. In recent years Leeton has made a positive attempt to attract and befriend immigrant workers and families. Many are needed for the local abattoirs and agricultural work. There is now a sizeable Afghan community in Leeton with the highest proportion outside of Sydney. Leeton has small communities of Fijians, Pacific Islanders and East African workers. Cotton is also grown near Leeton. In terms of industry the town cannery was crucial and the major employed.
The NSW government cannery opened in Leeton in 1914 with government contracts for tinned fruit, vegetables and orange juice. The State Cannery eventually became Leeton Cooperative Cannery. It employed around 750 people throughout the year with a peak work force double that during the harvest season. In its last decades is marketed fruit etc as Letona brand. Sadly the cannery closed in 1994. Letona also sold locally grown rice as Letona Rice. The rice growing industry in Leeton began in 1924 and two sisters. Lois and Margaret Grant were among the first six pioneers of rice growing when it started. Lois Grant succeeded so well in this male industry and she was a founding member of the MIA Rice growing Cooperative Society. The cooperative marketed its rice as SunRice. It is now marketed as SunWhite Rice. Leeton is still a major rice producing region of Australia and most is produced for export. Australia including Leeton and the Riverina region leads the world in water efficient and sustainable and highly mechanised rice growing. The MIA grows much of Australia’s rice with more grown in other regions of the Riverina. About 25,000 to 65,000 hectares are used for rice growing in the MIA depending on the season and water allocations. There are between two rice mills in the Riverina with a major one near Leeton. The other major mill for SunWhite is at Deniliquin. One hectare sown in rice can produce about 12 tons of rice grain.
