Barrie DriveaCor 43 Essa Rd Barrie 7266474 Aple Go lightly for the holidays By MARY DELANEY Of The Examiner Apple doll making is not only one of the cheapest hobbies around but also the most nutritious according to Shirley Sowydra of Barrie instructor in the craft If you carve the face and decide you dont like it you can always eat your material she says with smile And as youre carving it you can eat the scraps Shirley is ca ing on folk art thats as ol as the hills Lord knows apples have been around long enough Perhaps Eve whiled away her hours in the Garden of Eden imitating her maker by creating figures in her own image Its doubtful however since apple dolls by their very nature are almost invariably little old ladies and gents The dried withered apple forms wrinkl ed face with frown line and deep furrows often giving the impression that the dear old soul has forgotten to put in his or her teeth AZ Shirley demonstrated her craft at the Sun Seed Nutrition tentre Thursday surrounded by small figures in rocking chairs and one healthy geriatric on crosscountry skiis sporting knit toque and cor duroy knickers Oh for crying out loud ap ple faces says one man peer ing down to look at the tiny noses and puckered lips People are continually amazed when when they realize the material used to carve these figurines is the good old multipurpose ap le Among the many good features of this craft is the relative lack of expense lllVOlY ed Apples are still cheap and still available just about anywhere And the clothing and props for these little people can be made entirely from leftover pieces of material around the house The body is made from cop per wiring wound round with polyester fibre old nylons or quilting batting Shirley says she avoids the pantyhose route because shes the only woman in the house so pantyhose are in short supply and theyre far too expensive to make them practical on anything except people legs The heads and hands are of course made from apples The clothing from bits of wool old tea towels and other rags hair from wool or cotton batting For eyes she uses teeny pearls from costume jewelry seeds or peppercorns The teeth are the

the store the craft is perfect for children Shirley has recently finished course on apple doll making Tiny apple hands are the final touch added by for the children at Codrington Street School hey were mak ing gifts for Christmas She discovered that the craft came easily to kids especially those in the more senior elementary grades The only problem is that children tend to be very impatient wanting to see the fruits of their labor so to speak immediately Waiting three weeks for the carved head to dry often causes them to lose interest in the project But this is the only drawback Shirley

craft for people of all ages with or without artistic skill Much of the creative side of the project is taken care of by the apple itself as it dries and puckers to give the face character all its own Apples have mind of their own says Shirley You carve basic face in the freshly peel ed fruit and try to decide if it looks male or female before ari ding ears if its male The apple takes care of the rest the height of Nordic fashion The craft is most You never get two faces the same says Shirley And sometimes character who looks pleasant enough when fresh will turn into the meanest old sourpuss when dry in the case of one frightening dowager in pink dress with face that could curdle milk She is particularly mean one but is not all that unusual Despite the loving care she puts into her work Shirley has to confess havent been able to get smile out of one yet common in North America and requires only basic materials that can be found around any house Examiner Photo wedding album BellGue On

bisexuals They remained hap pily married and accepted the situation without complaint What about the husbands of bisexual women especially those who have children Are their husbands just as under standing If not why not am now divorced because my husband couldnt accept the fact that fell in love with another woman tried to explain that didnt love him any less but he wouldnt be ieve me My friend and her husband were our best friends We went everyplace together was aware that my husband had made several passes at Jill but he failed to see the irony in the fact that he and had the same good taste in women When Jills husband learned about our relationship be arranged to be transferred 2000 miles away This is how he opted to solve the problem He only fooled himself of course Jill found another woman to love in matter of weeks Do you receive letters from husbands with bisexual wives The man have been dating since my divorce mysteriously stopped calling me after we went to rty and my current girlfriend showed up Nothing was sai but suspect be sensed something was different when he saw us together Rather than discuss it he simply chose to stop seeing me ls this what have to look forward to For long time have felt it is time bisexual women came out of the closet and declared themselves but after my own experience Im beginning to think the risk is too great Please answer in your column if you can get this letter past your editors DuoDate Dear Duo In answer to your question Do you receive letters from husbands with bisexual wives Yes they tell me they are divorcing them Maybe Im square as chair but think its asking lot of husband or gentleman frend to accept with equanimity the fact that his wife or sweetheart has female lover on the side can understand just barely wife and mother staying with her doublegaited husband especially if hes good father but also can understand why the average male would freak out if he learned he was sharing his wife or sweetheart with woman Dear Ann Landers You can say what you want to but di vorcees and widows are considered threat by married women know because when my husband died was cut out of everything one month after the funeral decided to move 1500 miles away and tell everybody My husband is permanently stationed elsewhere This was true He was permanently stationed in the cemetery Ive been happy as clam get invited to everything N0 woman is afraid Im going to run off with her husband Life is beautiful Figured It Out In New Mexico Dear Fig No relatives or friends ever come to visit have feeling one of these days someone will show up and blow the whistle on you Until then have good time CONFIDENTIAL to Hate Whats Happening But Dont Want to Get Involved Edmund Burke wrote The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing Burke lived long time ago but those words are as relevant as if they were written yesterday Paste them in your hatband Mister Consumers Advocate Returning Christmas gifts By JOY WOOLAND Santa brought me hair dryer which was something really wanted It was packaged in heavy plastic box and tore open the wrappings excitedly When the commotion of gift opening had subsided plugged in the hair dryer It didnt work Yesterday took it to the shop from which it had been bought and was told that anything that had been opened could not be returned This seems very silly because unless it had been opened was unable to test it The store proprieter was adamant in refusing to exchange the dryer and told me that would have to return it to the manufacturer myself dont think this is fair and would like your advice Contrary to popular belief merchants are under no legal obligation to take back goods unless they are defective or clearly do not live up to sales claims and the best defence against customer dissatisfaction is wellpublicized refund and exchange policy stores reputation rests heavily on its clienteles satisfaction so consumers should be well aware of their rights and responsibilities If it appears impossible to settle the dispute consumers should contact The Consumer In formation Centre Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations 15 Yonge St Toronto Ontario MTA 2H6 for guidance POLICIES VARY There will be many people wanting to exchange presents which have been given to them this Christmas and many consumers assume that they are automatically entitled to refune on any purchase but this is not the case in all stores especially the smaller ones The best defence against customer dissatisfaction is wellpublicized refund and exchange policy prominently displayed near the cash register The staff should be familiar with consumer protection legislation and that they know that exaggerated sales claims are prohibited by The Business Practices Act Retuming to your original question which is indicative of many refund problems you can get the name of the manufacturer of the hair dryer from Trade Index which is in thelibrary Write to them with your problem and am certain you will get satisfaction from it If it was made in another coun try the Dept of Consumer and Corporate Affairs in Toronto could give you the name of the distributor CA TCH THE DLSCO FE VER IllWEEK otzco COURSE IllWEEK SOCIAL IALLIOOM 25 sternum IltIIIMEDIATIS om mom lg rm omonsmnous if outtcotilszs THURSDAY JAN 3rd PM AT
