Times-Advocate, 1988-01-06, Page 6Times -Advocate, January 6, 1988 - JOYCE NAIRN a l:irkton area };lass engraver, shows • one of' her creations. Expanding business grows from engraving hobby By Yvette Zandbergen Sometimes a hobby can expand intoa worthwhile in-home job which allows a person to be her own boss. This is what Joyce Nairn is experi- encing after turning her glassengrav- - ing hobby into a .small business which she calls Joyce's Glass En- graving. Mrs. Nairn, who lives on the Kirk - ton road between St. Marys and Kirk- ' ton,. started glass engraving two • years ago as a hobby. Hcr first project was cngrav ing an image on the "wind . wings" of her husband's restored Roadster. • Shc began with a "scratch type" pencil and eventually switched to an electric pencil. After the wind wings engraving, Mrs. Nairn said, "one thing just led to another." Hcr next project was engraving pictures on round glass to make sun- . catcher window decorations. Fol- lowing this, she started engraving names and labels on glasses, va.scs and anniversary plates. "I can do anything on glass," she Best Interest 1 O 3 07 • Guaranteed /4 0Investment Certificates • subject to change Gaiser•Kneale GrkInsuranre.Brokers I',( Exeter 235-2420 Clinton 462.9747 Grand Bend 2:4M-RLR4 Hensel( 262.2119 1 • says. When etching an image on glass, Mrs. Nairn begins by enlarging -the picture or design. After this, she draws the picture on a piece of elastic Shc said most people bring with them what -they want etched. If, however; they have a specific design in mind but don't hati'_ a photograph, • She'll go out and take a.picturc of the object. • and begins etching. The cost for etct►itig a glass or mug isusually under S2. Etching an image on a mirror, depending on the length of time it takes to complete the job, can cost between S45 and S55. Mrs. Nairn says she has etched on • everything from wedding glasses to speed boat windows. . The time it takes to etch on glass varies, depending -on how .large or intricate the desired design is. Etching a picture of a car on a mirror, for. example, would take approximately eight hours- to draw and another eight hours to cut out, whereas just initialing a drinking Drug would take only a few minutes. Glass engraving can be ideal for a Christmas present, notes Mrs. Naini. "it would be •good for the parents or grtuldparci1s who have everything," she suggests. Most of Mrs. Nairns' business is done by word of mouth, yet she has has had requests from as far away as Nashville and Maryland.

Teddy Smits was in charge of the regular church service • on Sunday morning. The children's story on the first Sunday in the New Year dealt with the wise men who came from the East. Although we know their names quitewell - Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar - we are not sure of the name of the fourth wise man. While they were all travelling, the fourth man was the first one to no- tice a man who had been wounded in a fall off his horse. He tried all he cou d to clean his wounds, and he deciftd to take him to 'the first hostel he could find: The other throe wise men could not wait, and they went on. The fourth plan tried to catch up with them later, but lost every trace of them. This man is still travelling today, looking for Jesus. How many of us are looking for Jesus, as ttic fourth wise man -does? in his sermon Rev. Teddy Smits used. as his text St. ;Matthew 2:3 "King Herod was greatly perturbed when he heard this." ' 1 -rod was paranoid about any p., .ace who might be after his ae. He 'had murdered his wifc, his mother-in-law, and three sons. The thought of a 'new by Lynn Garrison Nutrition Consultant Huron County Health Unit Iron is one of the essential nutri- ents our bodies need to "tick". It is a component of hemoglobin which has the ability to carry oxygen in our blood. If the body becomes dcfi- cient in`• iron, the blood will trans- port less oxygen -and iron -deficiency anemia results. Although poor food habits arc not the -only cause of ane- mia; most iron depletion is nutri-. tional - that is, the diet docs not contain enough iron to meet the body's needs. A large number of women, adolescent girls, and young children' have inadequate diet.ay iron intake combined with low iron stores. - - "hhc total iron content of the diet, the type of iron, the combination of foods:which arc eaten and the iron status of the individual all can affect the quantity of iron v4 hich is ab- sorbed by the body. The concentration of iron in the food we cat determines our iron -in- take.,Iron from plant sources is not as readily used by the body as iron from animal sources. Vitamin C en- hances the ablorption of iron from cereal and vegetable products. A dict which contains animal foods king who was born in Bethlehem drove hirn'insane, so he ordered that all boys in Bethlehem below the age of two years be murdered. ' We find a lot of hostility itt our world if it appears that Jeste: might make demands on us. But also, -the scribes and priests, and high priests failed to pay much attention to the birth of Jesus, although they were the ones who found the announce- ment- in their scriptures itt><tut the .child to be bort.. If they thought of anything, they worried about King Herod's reac- tions. Otherwise they were too busy figuring out temple lags s and relig- sous laws in general. There is a great d:uiger that li s al church officials become so involved with church- rules and regulations that they lose sight of the fact Jesus cants for all.

Furthermore, more iron 1s ab- sorbed by the body when there is a greater need for iron. So if ti,+11r body.stores,-t►f iron. are low, the body adapts &' absorb more iro:t from the diet. We are all risk of iron depletion if . --we dont choose our -foods wisely. However, there are three groups that ar • a particular risk:- 1) "Young Children" have tiigh- iron needs because of their rapid growth and increasing blood vol- ume. . 2) "Women in thcir.chiltlhcaring years•",have high iron requirements, and may have an inadcgnate dietary intake. Pregnancy further increases iron needs. "Premature babies" have inade- quate initial iron -stores. A diet that supplies all the iron we need is one based on C'ttnada'• Food Guide. 11ottever, few foods are high in iron. Rich sources of iron include meat, especially organ meat such as liver, I-i\ll, greed leafy vege- tables, soy beans, dried • peas fir Beans- dried Innis, anti whole wheat products.

New procedure helps early tumour detection Until recently acoustic neuroma has been considered to be rare. it is now apparent that many more per- sons than previously suspected arc victims of tltis non-malignant tu- mor. Early detection has been most dif- ficult, but a method known as "brainstem evoked responses" has proven to be extremely accurate and is now being widely used by clinics both in Europe and America. Sounds arc delivered to each ear through small hearing aid type de- vices. Small -detectors arc pasted to the scalp and pick up electrical re- sponses generated by the sounds. An acoustic neuroma, if detectctt while still small, can be removed surgically with minimal damage to surrounding nerves, However, if not On location or Studio Bart DeV ries PHOTOGRAPHY • COMMERCIAL • WEDDINGS PORTRAITS • GROUPS • PUBLICITY Telephone 235.1298 117 Thames Rd., Easl, Exeter Ont.
