"In the past several months, we had more than 50 peso mostly young people, looking jo Reid is very optimistic that the hos Will sell well, despite the sagging economy. ".At $2,500\retail, the dealers say they are ` very reasonably priced, especially when you consider that a good used piano sells for around $2,000. In fact, Mr. Reid doesn't expect to be able to keep up with the demand, especially during the heavy buying months of November and December. -He said it's just too expensive to built several hundred pianos ahead and have to pay interest on the money borrowed to manufacture them. "We don't have the storage space anyway since selling off the other wing of the factory to a local businessman, Bill Fleming." So far, the partners haven't had any help from any government, although they are seeking funding from the Ontario Development Corporation. Competing head-on with the cheaper, mass produced Japanese pianos, which presently have the lions share of the market, will be no problem, Mr. Reid said. ' "Our overheads are lower, we have a dedicated and enthusiastic work force, and a loyal dealer network," Mr. Reid said. He said they would concentrate on one or two popular models of quality built, r' sonably pric+ti pianos. "We do not find tocompete with every size and style trunient, we just�can't do it," he said. Parts of the' pianos come from all over the world, inclu ' , the United States, I Germany, England and even Japan. "It's cheaper to pay the tariff on' those .parts, -.than -.to -.try and-get-them-tilade-in- - Canada," Mr. Reid said and noted that because of the economy of scale, a Canadian manufacturer just wouldn't find it worth his while to tool up for such a sine llrun. What does the company need most of all at this point, he was asked? "Your prayers," he -answered with a smile.

The guards arrived at the plants bearing letters from the ORPMB, headquarters in Lucan, advising they were on the premises to gather in- formation on what is suspected to be illegal low - pricing of rutabagas being shipped from some plants. Eric Vanneste, manager of the marketing board, ordered the guards into plants when it was discovered turnips were sell- ing for less than the $6 per carton minimum set by the board. He repotted that it was suspected some -producers and processors were deliver- ing extra cartons to buyers and not recording this.

The subject for this meeting was "Getting Prepared," and they talked about the sewing machine and its parts, with leaders demonstrating how to alter our patterns for our skirts and vests. We divided into pairs and practices pin - fitting each other's patterns. This helped all to see where their patterns needed any alteration, and they also discussed how to prepare the fabirc by preshrinking and straightening it so it would be ready to cut out by the next meeting.. The third meeting of Clinton III was held on February 18 at the home of Mrs. Saundercock with each girl answering the roll call "Name a piece of sewing equipment and its use". The subject for this meeting was "Cut 'n' Sew". Mrs. Saundercock demon- strated the different seam finishes, sewing a dart and gathers, and talked about the difference between pressing and ironing. The girls laid out the materials and cut out the garments. The more ex- perienced xperienced sewers each helped a girl who is just learning to sew. Each are to bring a dart sample to the next meeting No. 4 and the leaders requested each do a seam finish sample for them to check at our next meeting. R.K.
