Sessions were held by 14 Ontario colleges. Most had slide presentations, pam- phlets and an informative liaison officer. Universities set up in the afternoon with booklets and liaison officers for the students to consult. Guidance department head Ken Lawton said he was not aware that the universities would have less time and op- portunty than the colleges. Several university bound students were concerned about wasting several hours with only college sessions to attend. Despite this, the day was very helpful regarding ap- plication deadlines, course re- quirements, facilities and fees. Mary's musings By Mary Alderson Maybe I'm a little too old (OK, a lot too old) to be play- ing with dolts, but I certainly enjoyed myself the other night when I was surrounded with my collection of 49 dolls. Not only was it fun to re- examine all my dolls (some hadn't been off the shelf since they were put there over four years ago), but it was also a trip down memory lane. You see, for the past 26 years I have been collecting dolls from around the world. Actually I don't collect them at all - people just keep giving me dolls to add to my collec- tion. 01 my 49 dolls, all were gifts, I have never purchased one myself. And for the past 26 years, people have been telling me (and I have been saying to myself) that I really must put the doll collection in a glass display case - where they can be seen, and be kept dust free. Finally, last week, the dolls were put behind glass, after each was carefully vacuum- ed, and all the little faces were washed. My collection began when I was about two yearsold. I was fortunate enough to have three great aunts - all maiden ladies - who had left their careers to spend their retire- ment travelling. They return- ed home from their first European tour with a Polish doll and r Danish doll, both in full national costume. My mother impressed on me the fact that these dolls were just for sitting on the bookcase and looking at, not for playing with. The "Aunts" continued to keep me supplied with inter- national dolls. When you're five or six years old, it is very exciting just to get a letter in the mail. When they were travelling in the Orient, they sent me a Japanese doll in a brightly coloured silk kimono. But her black hair was cut short in a funny bob. Inside the box were six different tiny wigs - complete with flowers, combs and other intricate ornaments. From Hong Kong they sent me a Chinese lady dressed in silk, carrying her baby on her back in a silk pouch. Then the Aunts went on a South American tour. From Brazil 1 received a beautiful doll with lovely chocolate brown skin. But flip her over and turn her skirt upside down, and she's another beautiful doll with dark black skin. From Chile, 1 was sent a tiny pair of handkerchief dancers — they have pinched little faces and hooked noses made from some nut that grows in that country. In Peru, the aunts were unable to find me a suitable doll - I was given a llama, made from real llama wool. Then my two older sisters ) began travelling, and my col- lection grew by leaps and bounds. From Spain - a dancer, complete with a little fan and tiny diamond ring. From Thailand, another dancer with the traditional tall Thai hat. And from Cam- bodia, another dancer who is probably irreplaceable now. Some of my dolls seemed especially appropriate - when I was enjoying reading the "Little Women" series of books my sister brought me home a Louisa May Alcott doll. Many of my dolls "do" things - my doll from Belgium is a lacemaker, on her lap she hold the beginnings of a hand made lace doily. Many of my dolls from Caribbean islands carry baskets of fruit on their heads or baskets i 1 their arms. When my grandmother died, I was given her very old "Charlie McCarthy" doll - his mouth moves when you pull a string; a ventriloquist could make him talk. When I got married, my mother, not 'wanting to dust the collection, packed my dolls in boxes and delivered them to my new 'home. I didn't have a place to put them, so they were crowded together on a small shelf, where they faded in the sunlight and collected dust. I visited flea markets and fur- niture stores hunting for just the right glass case, but never found it. Then, a few weeks ago, my great aunt, who is now 95 years old, decided to move in- to a retirement home. In her apartment, she had an anti- que book case, complete with glass doors over the shelves. I could have the book case for my doll collection, she told me. So finally the dolls have a home. They have been dusted, cleaned, and some have had their clothes wash- ed and pressed. It seems ap- propriate that my great aunt who started me on the collec- tion is the one who finally gave the dolls their own home. By MRS. HEBEI DAVIS Rev. Peter Derrick was in charge of Holy Communion service at St.Patrick'schurch Sunday. Mrs. Tom Kooy assistant organist was at the organ. Rev. Derrick spoke to the children on Prayer, and their needs.
