plant manager lou bloom told the tribune the bottling company has been forced to hange its production schedule y from five days to three ive had to put a hold on hiring new employees this is the time of year when we should be doing even more hiring he said he said the plant now employs about 30 to 35 local residents i dont think that people realize the serious impact the ban is having on the smaller bottling companies he added we can only stand so much at one point the bottlers even tried protective rubber rings around the middle of the bottle to prevent it from ex ploding on impact but then the government changed its stan dards and this was no longer acceptable he said harry hudson genera manager and vicepresident at the plant in oshawa said they intend to assess the situation and determine how badly they are affected he explained it would be necessary to meet with the government with respect to what the future holds it may take awhile for some companies to recover and it could

claremont as a child she didnt even have one doll today she has one hundred of them and for two and a half years betty devitt of claremont has been adding to her unique collection of antique china reproductions in fact shes made every one of them and she even con ducts classes to instruct others her own background in doll- making consists of lessons from marion fasan at her shop in richmond hill the porcelain beauties come to life in her own home the faces hands and feet begin as hard plaster molds liquid porcelain called slip is then poured into the form and when fired in a kiln becomes china the dolls have no character until the china paint is delicately applied to form the features glass eyes imported from germany golden lifelike hair and an elaborate ensemble in velvet satin or silk complete their personalities dog held goodwood a local dog has been impounded following reports it injured two cows and three calves ann barrett canine control officer for uxbridge twp said the

often finds herself conversing with them but that only goes to show she does her work well last year she sold a reproduction of a doll made near the turn of the century for 250 she admits the dolls are ex pensive but wants to con centrate on classes in making them rather than sales bettys best form of ad vertising are the shows she attends from time to time her dolls were on display at the uxbridge steam threshing days and she says she received great response she also showed at a craft display in the sheridan mall in oshawa and at morgans jewellers in stouffville and on oct 17 her dolls will help the claremont ladies institute celebrate its 70th anniversary her students range in age from 20 to 60 years old most of the older ladies are fascinated because they remember the china dolls
