Doll house is
special gift
BY JOANNE BUCHANAN.
Jackie Rau received a very special gift
for her eighth birthday recently --
something she can play with now,
treasurer Utter and perhaps even pass on
to her own children -a doll house filled with
minlature furniture made by her grand-
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hicks of
Goderich.
The doll house had`been In the works off
and on for over three years, explains Mrs.
Hicks. Accessories such as trim pieces had
been gathered on various trips during that
time. MeHicks dict the rough carpentry
work and the wiring while Mrs. Hicks did
the finishing and made most of the fur-
niture.
Mrs. Hicks had always been interested
in such a project and over the years had
gathered information on how to go about it.
She still has the first doll house she built.
Jackie's is the second and it has more
inside detail. For example, in one room,
the little chairs are even upholstered to
match the wallpaper.
Mrs. Hicks started making her first,
miniature furniture out of balsa wood. It is
cheap but not long lasting, she explains.
She has now graduated to basswood and
builds on a detailed one -inch -to -the -foot
scale. She hopes to eventually be using
hardwoods.
"I've always like working with wood,"
explains Mrs. Hicks who has her own
small saw and tools. "And I'm fond of
miniatures. I suppose it's a hold over from
childhood. Only when you're younger, you
don't have the money for such things." ,
Mrs. Hicks, who just had another
granddaughter six weeks ago, plans to
start her third doll house this winter.

trees next to the Ivey sub-
