fst fie! s So fornia. Friends placed orders for her work and she began to receive invitations from clubs to demonstrate the craft and exhibit pieces. She began mak- ing Christmas ornaments two months ago. She says she gets a good red glass from auto signal lights, a blue from milk of magnesia or seltzer bottles. Her friends have taken to bringing her gifts of old bottles and bits of glass. And she counts it a lucky day when she: can get the stained glass window from an old house. Before she actually begins to make a mosaic, she does a crayon sketch of a pattern and assembles loose crushed glass to match-it. As a backing to hold the broken glass, stiff cel- lophane. or a sheet of glass is glued to the rattan frame and left to dry 12 to 24 hours. Then liquid plastic is poured on the frame and allowed to jell. Then another layer is applied and the crushed glass arranged on it. The mosaics are hung in win- dows, on walls or, at Christ- mas, on doors. Radios, Dogs Hammer Crime VANCOUVER (CP) -- The police department here is mov- ing towards the visionary world of Dick Tracy in its fight against crime. Using a tiny, eight-inch radio and dogs, the force has racked up an enviable record of crime prevention, it believes. The powerful little radios, each weighing about four nds, are issued to beat po- lcamen and shift sergeants to enable them to keep in constant, touch with headquarters. The are on daily duty for spe- assignments, such as searching buildings, sion of suspected prowlers. and crowd control, ratiios, years ago, ep enabled the 08 partment to more men on the beat more effectively. The radios use the same fre- quency as police car radios and thus beat men can speak di- rectly to other police, in cases of emergency. The dogs were pioneered in Canada by Vancouver in 1950 and.the police department uses them mostly in burglar hunts of large buildings. Insp. Bud Errington, who handles dog training in his spe- cial services department, said the dogs have prevented the es- cape of many stolen car suspects who would otherwise most certainly have eluded two- footed policemen. Desjardins Canal Being Drained DUNDAS, Ont. (CP) -- The Desjardins Canal, a mile-long trénch through the silt bed of the Dundas-Hamilton marsh in) southwestern Ontario, is slowly being drained by the water shortage being experienced in the Great Lakes. The canal had made 19th cen- tury Dundas a major port and a sérious rival to the embryo Hamilton. But in a 17-year pe- riod in the mid 1800s, the waters receded and the bustling little city lost sight of the future and relapsed into a near ghost town. Today, with a population of 14,000, Dundas lies deep in the shadow of Hamilton. Cranes now walk through mud where European schooners once sailed; fish flounder in scat- tered pools; muskrats roam the marsh seeking fresh water; and mosquitoes have taken over the area. ' The-canal, begun in 1816, does have a future, however. One of the country's oldest canals,it is theing turned into a parking lot|' for a bewling-alley and a Legion hall. -; SHOW INTEREST SASKATOON, (CP) -- John Dolmer, president of the On- tario Farmers' Union, told the National Farmers' Gnion meet- ing Wednesday that small On- tario businessmen were showing "great interest" in a proposed rmarch on Ottawa by Ontario farmets.
