Silent sewing group in Memphis aids children with crafts
Nine deaf women meet weekly at the First Baptist Church to sew for benevolent causes. They communicate by sign and writing, making stuffed animals like long flowered calico snakes and zipper-tummy turtles for pediatric ward patients and Baptist Children's Home workers. The group is sponsored by the Women's Missionary Union. Old Engine No 28, a Baldwin Pershing class locomotive idle 17 years, was donated to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept for a state park near Rusk and Palestine.
