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

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.

January 10 is Communion Sunday
Focus on the fourth wise man' �
By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE
Thornes Road
Rev, K. 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

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

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.

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'•

high in iron. Rich sources of iron
include meat, especially organ meat
such as liver, I-i\ll, greed leafy vege-

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
