The att children
are serious ►•lied()
A lot of children have
hobby collections which
often are here today and
gone tomorrow, but the
Moffatt children of Minnie
Street in Wingham collect
for keeps.
Julie, Kendra and .Alex
Moffatt all are avid
Collectors and it is a serious
hobby for them. Julie, 12,
said she collects because it is
fun and because she wants to
keep items "for when I grow
up."
Last summer the girls
spent four weeks visiting
relatives in England. While
there, Julie became in-
terested in her cousin's
eraser collection and
decided to start one of her
own. Today Julie has ap-
proximately 125 erasers of
every shape, size and color
imaginable. Most of them
were purchased in England
and Bost about 50 pence or
$1.00 apiece.
Where would a child get
enough money to buy over
100 erasers at that price in
just over six months? Julie
admitted she didn't buy
them all herself ; • some were
Christmas gifts from British
relatives and from her own
family. But she does try to
save her money and adds to
her collection when she goes
shopping.
Julie has erasers that look
like miniature name brand
products, food and sports
figures; some are even
scented. There is a better
selection of novelty erasers
in England, she said, but
some of the stores in this
country are getting more
variety.
Her favorite erasers are
two fingers which her
mother thinks are "gross",
she said. The erasers are
never used either, she added,
they are just for show.
In addition to collecting
erasers, Julie has sticker,
post card and Princess
Diana cup and saucer
collections. Also, she has.
started collecting good doll
house furniture because she
feels it will be valuable when
she grows up.
Her sister Kendra, 11,
collects peneil sharpeners;
most of which she bought. in
England too. Kendra's
favorite sharpeners are her
"frog band" series, but she
is fond of her Snoopy and
garbage can sharpeners too.
She also collects stickers and
badges.
Brother Alex, 8, collects
model antique cars, but only
has a few because they are
expensive. He is starting to
gather toy tractors of dif-
ferent makes and so far has
John Deere and Massey
Harris models.
Mrs. Moffatt, their
mother, said her children.
are very proud of their
collections and take good
care of them. But they are
pretty good at looking after
all their possessions, she
said.
By the way, Mom happens
to be a collector too. Mrs.
Moffatt has a number of
miniature dolls in costume
from various parts of the
world. Maybe this sort of
thing just rugs in families.

Telethon a success
despite poor economy
Despite a poor economy that has people
scrambling to make sends meet, the
"Weekend with the Stars" telethon still
managed to raise more than $100,000 in this
area of midwestern Ontario last weekend.
By the time the telethon ended Sunday
evening, $111,762 had been pledged from
around the CKNX viewing area, and a
spokesman said this is expected to grow to
around $115,000 by the time all the pledges
have been collected.
From Wingham itself, $6,528 in pledges
were phoned in and $915 was collected in
advance pledges, for a total of $7,443.
A sign of the times, both figures are down
substantially from last year's record of
$180,680 for the area as a whole and $13,000
from Wingham. ,Those taking the pledges
estimated they received about the same
number of calls as last year, but the pledges
tended to be smaller this year, the
spokesman said.
However organizers of the telethon were
thrilled to have pledges top the $100,000
mark, he added. Given the bad economy,
they were just hoping 'to get as much as
possible.
The money raised in this area goes to
support Participation Lodge, a recreation
and holiday centre for the physically han-
dicapped that opened last year at Holland
Centre in Grey County.
