MF Massey Ferguson 1 1 THE "FUN" PIECES of the giassmaker's art, The painted Easter Egg and "pistol'! candy bottle were commercial items while the paperweight, witch ball, hen, cane and hats were classed as "whimseys", non-commercial glass artifacts made for decoration and display. Glassblowers were. the aristocrats of trade Glass fanciers across Canada are searching high and low for rare Canadian glass which dates back to the early nineteenth cen- tury. Some of these specimens have been found in attics of homes while shards have been un- covered by digging at the site of early glass factories., Currently under investigation is the original 1880 Montreal site of the Excelsior Glass Company which produced containers, lamp chimneys and tableware. The search centres on the products of an unusual group of Canadian craftsmen -the glass blowers whose art flourished dur- ing the 19th and early 20th cen- turies. While glass containers were the main output of these aristocrats of labor, they excelledin produc- ing tableware of exquisite design and color, lighting equipment and unusual glass. artifacts. , !Vheo.g as b1o' were ca a- men f a high oerders with their own secrets and ways of life. Paid from $10 to $20 a day when most workers earned from $1 to,$2 a day, they moved from pla ,s; _plant in Canada and. the U' ed - States. `° In addition, they gen- erally stopped work during the hot summer months. • They followed production de- mands in different plants, work- ing for a few months or a. year in' Wallaceburg, Ontario; Montreal; or Redcliff, . Alberta. Thus the names of these top craftsmen turn up ow the books of glass houses across the country. Today collectors look for the free -blown# specialty items these craftsmen produced on their own time. A' fully -qualified glass blower had the right to use any glass left over after the day's run. These non-commercial glass objects were called "whimseys" From the blowpipes of these men came drapes, swords, chains,. animal, flower and bird forms, hammers, wig -stands, witeh,, balls, cuspidors, door stops rolling *pins, hats, canes': and paperweights. They were pro- duced in a variety of colors to re- cord ecord the blower's personal skill and versatility. The glass drape was a favorite. with Canadian glass blowers and lengths varied from 30 inches. to 12 feet. Often the "whimseys" were made as a gift to mark an anni- versary or special event. At Red - a cliff, Alta., a'glass blower named Joe Podesta produced souvenir cowboy hats which were given to guests and travellers passing through the town. Parades and fraternal gather- ings were featured by the .glass blowers wearing their glass hats, brandishing their glass walking canes and wearing some of their glass chains or glass swords. Introduction, of the first mechanicalpressing and blowing machines at the turn of the cen- tury spelled the end of the glass blowers but their works remain as a tribute to their craft. LET Dear Editoir: Would you please give my let- ter your kind consideration and attention in regards to Bill C - which would prohibit the owner- ship and collection, of Automatic Arms and Handguns. Also Bill S- 2 regarding all pellet guns and air guns. As we all know, criminals are smuggling and stealing'N guns, they will not register their hand- guns, or get carrying permits. They cut down rifles and, shot- guns to "concealment size" etc., more restrictive laws ' will not make this type of person sudden- ly change to a law-abiding citi- zen. More stringent laws are going 'to affect only the innocent law-abiding gun owner. Our present Canadian Firearm Laws are restrictive, but quite often not fully applied, so why add more teeth to the law which �TIE EDITOR c` rt ills'. will not be applied, to the criminal, but.will' ie obeyed by the law-abiding citizen. 38• : ' Something more, the paper work involved in total registra- tion will be terrific, and Lexpen- sive, considering that the crimi- nal is not going to obey the new laws,.,this ' will be a waste of tax dollars. Police. Officer11,�ss know there is• no way to enforce total. registration of all firearms . in Canada. Confiscation of our guns without compensation, would be unheard of in a Democratic Country such as our Canada, and to confiscate our guns with Com- pensation would cost our Cana- dian Taxpayers millions of dollars. The many. forms of rec- reation as well as employment would be affected, also, the Tourist Industry would take a terrible beating all over Canada. I feel that new restrictions would be as ineffective at stopping the abuse of firearms by criminals as Prohibition was at stopping the abuse Of alcohol, moreover, or- ganized crime would then have a new product to market—illegal firearms. Finally, may I say that we (and I am sure that I speak for thou- sands of law-abiding firearm owners) do support good sensible legislation that will restrict and punish the criminal use of fire- arms. ,JAIL THE CRIMINAL, NOT THE GUN...

Is the dollar really worth eliminating a we11-established and highly used Park while at the same time polluting our air with more oil for a heavy water plant? Not to mention the risks of Nuclear Power pollution. The bigger the place gets the more people from far away ar- rive land we are not sure who they are or what trouble they might bring. We only have a small amount of good farm and holiday -type land left itiOntario. Let's try and keep what we have. Why not establish these mas- lVd plants (if we need them) up where the colder land and rock is in the north?
