►C
held at the Howick Community
Centre .1 by Stephen's
Anglican Church of Gorrie.
Nellie King, president of St.
•
Stephen's Guild, said this is the
woo
first year such a show has ever
been staged in the area. Although
the majority of home-made pro-
ducts, crafts and displays were
done by local people, some came
from as far as London, Kitchener
and Elmira to display and sell
their items.
A l `
While some displays were ordi-
nary in nature, there were others
that were quite unique and pecu-
liar. One of the more interesting
displays was done by Frances
`
McKee of Elmira. Doll faces
l
made of dried apples and wire
='
bodies were among these dis-
plays.

at Craft Show held at the Howick Community Centre and sponsored by St. Stephen's
Anglican Church. Mr. Burnett claimed that the home-made took
years ago aft' her mother saw
similiar
wagon about 200 hours to
complete and said he became interested in carving these particular items because he had
ones at other craft
shows. "My mother started to
always grown up with horses and wagons. He also started this hobby because, to his
knowledge, "not too
make these dolls one Christmas
many people do this kind of thing."
and since then it has mush-
roomed," she said. Since not too
many of these dolls are on the
market these days, Miss McKee
said a greater demand for them
is being seen. "Different craft
t
shops have contacted us to make
the dolls for them," she said.
�1
With the help of manicure sets,
miniature carving knives and
heat lamps, more than 15 dolls
,
are made at one time. She said
�
.s
most of the talent centres around
E
the carving of faces since the job
is a very delicate one. And most
j r
of these dolls are always doing
something — whether it be read-
ing, fishing or knitting.

Another display of blind craft
work by Jack Clements of Goder-
✓
�i
ich proved to be an interesting
one to visit. Mr. Clements, who is
blind, has laced wallets and
}
purses for the last 20 years. He
said the purses and wallets from
the • -Canadian Institute of the
Blind in Toronto have kept him
quite busy with the bobby.
"Before I started lacing, they
sent a teacher from London to in-
struct me before I did it myself,"
he said. Mr. Clements ents said it
-
takes anywhere between one and
e
two hours to lace each wallet
,..
while he averages about one
purse lacing a day. "I don't use
.,�
any special instruments. I just do
'
it on my own," he said.
'
Other displays at the show in-
`' a ''
eluded hand carved wagons and
sleighs, fungus arrangements on
barnboard, duster dolls and knit-
ting products. All who attended
had a wide variety of items to
choose from and were never at a
loss to see something out of the
ordinary.
