Read them sad an if similar activities took place with your pet. WINNER Last weekend I entered my pet in the judging contest at the fall fair. You wouldn't believe the up- roar a harmless little kitten can cause! On the rules and regulations form it said you were not to feed your pet. My kitten (Rascal) is rarely ever full. I left him alone while I went to loot at the other displays. I was just starting to look at the cooking when I heard a scuffling noise. I looked up and to my great horror Rascal was enjoying himself running in be- tween displays of cookies, cakes, tarts, pies, etc. nibbling at the thingsthat rte pretending him. It II didn't even know him judge came and pulled him out. When nobody was looking I picked him up and whisked him into the Zehrs bag I was holding and ran back to the animal dis- play. When he was judged he got the prize for being the most mis- chievous. The prize was a choco- late fudge cake with Rascal on it. Joy Deighton THE PINK BOW Last weekend I entered my pet at the judging contest at the fall fair. You wouldn't believe the trouble a harmless little mouse can get into! I locked Henry up in his cage to be judged. His cage was covered with pink and white flowers and I had tied. a pink bow around his tail. I set him down while I was buying some popcorn. When I turned around I just caught sight of him scampering out of his cage and into the crowds. I'd never find him in there! And the judging was Onix five ..,irr:`u away. (Bui only trod knows what can happen in that period of time). I started search- ing right away. The first place I looked was the trash cans and there is nothing a iib. W.gre these? L= man o— ro mouse likes better but to make a neat in soft straw. But with my tuck, I spent four and a half minutes looking through the trash cans and he wasn't even there! I decided to give up. It was just a mouse. I went to the judging contest anyway. He just MIGHT be there. The judge was all dressed up in a white suit and a straw hat. I just couldn't stop thinking about Henry when I saw that straw hat. All of a sudden I saw a little pink bow moving around on the judge's straw hat. I knew right then it was Henry and saved by a pink bow! Lisa Buehler INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE CHILD In Mrs. Hooftman's grade 2-3 class the children made pictures about themselves and family concerning the International Year of the Child.

Its footings and walls were con- structed in ion and the building was com- pleted in 1879. Catherine and Margaret Fisher were the original owners. Since then it has seen many faces and trades come and go. It housed the poet office at one time, the Tboa. Skales stationery store, a millinery shop, Mooney Tinsmith and Plumbing, Thompson Feeds and W. J. Clark Plumbing and Heating. The business that currently occupies the historic building is much more recent, but possibly one of the most interesting it has seen. The Waxworks Boutique is filled with a fascinating array of handicrafts and gift items, candles, silk flowers, jewelry, crystal and glassware, pottery, carvings and leatherwork. The original concept of the boutique had its birth on Dec. 4, 1967, when Jim and Audrey Currie opened up shop in a corner of his Estate Marketing building on Water Street. She was helping out at the auction centre anyway and the shop gave her something more to do, she said. Waxworks Boutique started out by selling candles, hence the name, as well as locally - made handicrafts on a consignment basis. Craft classes in wreath making, rug hooking, papier mache, .collage, decoupage and macrame were also taught there, with Janetta Slack as instructor. The classes ended due to a lack of space when the Waxworks moved to its present location in November of 1972, Mrs. Currie recalled, and since then the lines of mer- chandise have expanded considerably. In addition to the. handicraft supplies and gift items she tries to carry a selection of truly Canadian crafts, but has found people reluctant to pay the cost of a Canadian's time spent making crafts when they can get foreign -made items more cheaply. As a result, and with the squeeze for space, she doesn't carry crafts on consignment anymore, although she still tries to buy some local crafts for resale. At Christmas time the shop carries a selection of cheeses, food trays and other seasonal items. "What we really hoped at the outset --and we've probably accomplished it now—was to este the image of a really good quality the tore,"Mrs. Currie explained. "We looked over and said, 'OK, what does this town need most?'. At that time there were hardly any candles in town and they were really coming into vogue. We also provided an outlet to retail items from the local cottage craft industry on consignment." While Mr. Currie is not directly involved in the day-to-day running of the store he still plays an important role in an advisory capacity, and also designs the special window decorations since he has a better eye for artistic detail, she added. She said both of them have found the. business very interesting and have made a lot of friends through it, since it brings them up against many people from out of town. They also have always tried to have something of interest to young people and to employ young people in the shop. It provides a job opportunity and some business ex- perience and they have had a lot of excellent teenagers working there over the years, she said. At present she and Jannis Coultes work at the boutique full-time, with part-time helpers brought in at Christmas and during the busy times of year. The _Wiagham Advance -Times.
