A PIN AND AN IDEA Bedee begins each of her creations with a clothespin and an idea."I use the old-fashioned clothespins without springs in them,” she explained.She makes regular trips to the United States to purchase them.Each costume is painstakingly constructed from tiny pieces of material, then pasted together.“I'm always searching for just the right piece,” she said.Napolean’s hair, for example is a tiny swatch of persian lamb snipped from an old coat.A ring may become a queen’s crown or an elegant belt.Tiny stones adorn crowns or appear as buttons.Each doll stands about three inches high.“I’m not artistic, but I do have imagination”, Bedee said.“I didn’t play with dolls when I was a child and I wouldn’t buy one of these dolls if I saw them on a shelf.” “The pleasure I get is in creating them,” she said.NOT ALL FICTIONAL Each doll in her collection pf hun- dreds has a story.And not all of them are found in historical novels."This is a doctor in Stanbridge East,” she said.“When he used to come to visit my husband when he was sick, he’d always ask if I liked his hat.” Bedee made a miniature of the doctor complete with hat and medical bag.“I made a Michael Jackson doll for his daughter to stay on the good side of him,” she laughed.“I used to make a lot of Boy George dolls because he was a funny character and people wanted to buy him.” she said.But she doesn’t create dolls on demand.“If it doesn’t interest me.I won’t do it,” she says adamantly.Many of the dolls in the collection reflect Bedee’s love of reading about different nationalities and cultures.“I enjoy doing characters of different nationalities in their native dress.There’s the Arab, and the African carrying a basket on her head, an Eskimo, a Mexican princess and a FlinFlon floozie.“Freddy the freeloader has been around a long time,” she said.But since moving to an apartment in Sutton from Stanbridge East, Bedee hasn’t sold many of her dolls.“I like to sell them so I can give the money to the hospital,” she said.Lillis Bedee with Henry the Vlllth and his wives, record/sharon mccully Golden Age Club news MANSONVILLE — The Golden Age Club held its first meeting of the new year on Tuesday January 8.Attendance was low, due to the crisp January morning, with the temperature reaching the 20 below zero mark.A number of people had frozen water lines.For those who braved the cold to come for the noon meal, it consisted of baked beans, hot dogs, johnny cake, beet pickles, Rice Krispie squares and zucchini bread, tea and coffee, furnished by the club, George Hamelin, Lina Tomuschat, Verlie Aiken and Rita Mossa.Door prizes: Mrs.Rose Alma Pouliot, Jeanne D’Arc Carrier and Lina Tomuschat.500 winners: (1) Cecile Hamelin; (2) Dolores Marcoux.(1) Jeanne D’Arc Carrier; (2) Julienne McDuff.Game winners: Dot Woodard, Mary Schoolcraft, Elsie Knowlton, Flora Jersey, R.A.Pouliot, Verlie Aiken, Porter Knowlton and Raymond Bedard.A card was signed for Flora Drouin, a patient in the BMP Hospital, Cowansville.Friends wish her a speedy recovery.Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late Joe Cote.t TTrrr-rAwl record DEBBIE POWELL Advertising Consultant Tél.: (514) 243-0088 Fax: (514) 243-5155 YEARS Of CONSERVATION 0 Ducks Unlimited Canada WE CONSERVE WETLANDS.PLOMBERIE GILBERT INC • Chauffage • Brûleurs à l'huile • Pompes à eau • Champs d'épuration • Heating • Oil Burner • Water Pump • Drainage Field PLOMBERIE - PLUMBING 243 6785 49 Mont Echo, Knowlton We've been doing it since 1938.Today we employ more than 400 professionals and support staff in 44 offices across Canada.We keep an eye on wetlands — and we're good at it.During 1988, we're celebrating our golden anniversary.How?By building wetland conservation projects.And when we finish those, we'll work on more, because helping out Canada's waterfowl and wildlife is the best way we know to celebrate the beginning of our next fifty years.We don't think of ourselves as saviours of the natural world.We're hard-working, down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts conservationists who do what we know best.conserve wetlands.THE DUCKS AND GEESE DO THE REST.Call 1-800-665-DUCK for more information. Life Skills: Getting back on By Lucinda M.Fisher For many of today’s teens, life’s rocky road is all too frequently beset by pitfalls, frustrations and unanswered questions.Not so long ago.when teenagers dropped out of school, or found life’s challenges hard to deal with, as far as established society was concerned, they dropped out of the system.And, while the system cannot be blamed entirely, social pressures, home life problems and overcrowded classrooms frequently contribute to many of the dilemmas and questions of self worth that our young people experience today.Luckily, for teens in this area, something is being done to help them get back on track, start feeling good about themselves and look towards a future and their goals.A regional Manpower and Immigration program called WOW.short for Work Oriented Workshops, was initially started as a summer program to get young people into the mainstream of the work force.LEFTOVER FUNDS With leftover funds from the 1990 summer session, the District of Bedford was given the go-ahead for another session, with a twist, with Life Skills, coach Vincent Hall at the helm, his mandate was to encourage high school drop outs or troubled teens, some with emotional p-oblems or home life difficulties, to take a long, hard look at themselves and re-consider school or some sort of vocational training.While regular Life Skills teaches young people things like how to cash a cheque, make a deposit or buy food for well balanced meals, Hall, who admits an interest, in working with troubled young people realized that the teens in his present program were in need of other skills.These kids needed to learn things like the value of honesty, self worth and esteem, he said.They needed to confront their fears and come to grips with some heavy personal situations; many of them very painful.With him, as assistant is Brenda Stone, who, besides being a community resource person, brings with her fifteen years of experience with young people in the Girld Guide movement.DISCLOSE FEARS “We are doing life skills of a different kind with this group,” says Stone, “and through structured exercises, the kids learn to disclose their fears, open themselves up to points of view and deal with constructive criticism.” Some sessions are intensely revealing where inner thoughts, desires and fears are brought forth and dealt with, no matter how painful.“These young people are starting to accept responsability for their actions and understand that often they bring the negative things in life upon themselves,” said Hall, when I visited the group one afternoon.Each of the young people involved, brings with him or her a different story.For various reasons, many valid, they have all dropped out of school.“Too many drugs,” “Peer pressure,” “Social Pressure,” and “Not stimulating” were the answers they gave when asked “Why?” Carl McMahon from Dunham summed it up well when he said, “School may be for some people, but it sure wasn’t for us.” Some had also been through traumatic home experiences that had left deep and painful scars.“I went to a psychiatrist for three years,” one participant admitted, “and since this group started “I have stopped going there because I am getting so much out of this course.” PROFOUND EFFECT His experiences in life have had a profound effect on him and he has spent time in a re-hab centre.“This group is like a big, trusting family and we can really let it all out,” he said.This positive feeling towards the group and the positive achievements of its members was echoed over and over by the participants.Proof of the success of the group are the lengths to which some of the participants are willing to go to get to the four weekly sessions.Todd Sealey from Clarenceville near Venise en Québec takes three buses to get to Stone’s Knowlton house where this session is being held.Eric Bates of Brigham, the only one in the group with a car, Prosperity Rebekah Lodge No.32 holds regular meeting- COWANSVILLE — The first meeting of the new year for Prosperity Rebekah Lodge No.32 was held on January 7 with 23 members present.Thirteen officers, two courtesy officers and 13 Past Noble Grands, answered the Roll Call.Lodge opened in form with the N.G.Sister Elaine Fowler welcoming all on such a cold night.She hoped everyone had a nice Christmas and wished everyone a happy new year.The flag was presented and O Canada was sung.The minutes of the Christmas meeting were read by the secretary.Sister Shirley Vaughan P.P.and approved.There were several Sisters absent because of the cold weather.Sister Edith Fuller has pneumonia, Sister Darline Lefebvre is in hospital.They will be remembered with a gift by Sister Doris Dougall.Several Sisters -Madeleine Perry, Edith Parsons and Else Syberg have been visited.There was one bill handed in for Insurance and was ordered paid by the N.G.Communications -

For others, the feelings of confusion once felt over home, school and society are being replaced by feelings of understanding and self worth.“We are really open and honest with each other and very supportive too.” said Susan Perras of Cowansville, who is interested in returning to school one day.While each one of the participants in the group has a goal and a dream, understandably, few, as of yet, have their career courses mapped out.And.their routes towards a final goal will, no doubt, waver, vary and change in the future.However, each and every one of them has made a positive and important step in that ail too frequently confusing job called life.CHANGES These teens, who wouldn’t have included the word happy in their vocabulary three months ago, can now see and appreciate the changes they have brought about in themselves.“Some of our old friends can't accept the positive changes in us now," said Denise Côté."We are all stronger and I find that I am looking towards finding new and different friends; people who are strong like me with positive outlooks and self esteem.” She summed up the sessions well when she said, "We may all be dreamers, but we all have talents to offer and, for some of us, at this point in our lives, just to be happy means success.If you or anybody you know would benefit from a rewarding and completely confidential ten week program, either a dropout or simply a young person looking for a few honest answers, call Brenda Stone in Knowlton for more information at 243-6091.LifeSkills is an emotion-based program which students in touch with their feels and gi ves them choices in responding to their situations.This program originated in New York in the seventies to ad dress the problems and frustrations of young people.THE NEWSPAPER: A Mily Affair No other source of information gives your family more.News, views, entertainment, special features.there's something for everyone in the #1_____fagl uecara Subscribe today Call 569-9528 Sherbrooke//243-0088 Knowlton or mail this coupon in and receive 13 months of great reading for the price of 12.2SS0 (Mann* Sherbrooke, Que.J1K IA1 —_____foei ifecora Mafl Rai* 1 year 71.00 Horn* delivery 1 year 13.00 Cheque enclosed Q SC ?No- ee ?no- Send f ill card yet Q no ?Exp.dole Pleat» tend to: j Addrett: ___________________________________________ Postal Cod» From Addrett B6—The RECORD—Thursday.January 17, 1991 Where does that strength or that weakness in the individual come from?Few women in the Catholic church today have attained the distinction of Germany’s Uta Ranke-Heinemann.Her husband is first cousin to the Catholic Primate of Poland, her father was once president of West Germany, and her scholarship is such that as a professor in the University of Essen she became the first woman in her country to be given the Church’s authority to teach theology.The trust Holy Mother Church had in Uta wasn’t to last however.Three years ago she was forced to surrender her Catholic professorship because she had committed the unpardonable sin of admitting that she could not believe that Mary had been a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus Christ.But if the great people in the Church supposed that they were silencing criticism ot one of its cardinal teaching by this action, they must surely know by now that they w'ere mistaken.For when Uta brought out a whole book of bitter attack on the orthodox Catholic attitude toward women and sex that book soon topped Germany’s non-fiction bestseller list.Now its English translation has just arrived on this side of the water — title "Eunichs for the King- dom of Heaven” tsub-title ’Women, Sexuality and the Catholic Church’), and already it is proving the righteous indignation of the orthodox hierarchy, New’ York's John Cardinal O’Connor has accused it of being filled with hatred and scandal and malice and libel p ¦ a Gordon Green and calummy'.To which Uta has replied that the Cardinal must have been hallucinating because he admitted that he hadn’t read anything but the book's jacket.And indeed it may have been that jacket which convinced the Cardinal that the book was unworthy of his serious attention because its artwork focuses on the silhouette of a very shapely naked woman.Among other caustic accusations Uta Ranke-Heinemann claims that the theology of her church "increasingly became the business of bachelors" and that Catholicism “strives to impose its own moral dictatorship.based on pleasure-hating, celibate contempt for marriage and a maniacal cult of virginity.” Seems to me that before she allows her feminist fury to subside Uta should remind the Cardinal and those of his brethren who think that they are divinely commended to be celibate that there is really no proof that Christ himself was celibate.Nor indeed was there any sure proof that he was even male! Back in 1968 w’hen Pope Paul VI released his controversial declaration as to why women should never be ordained to the priesthood, he prompted a most unusual reply from one of Canada’s best known geneticists.Professor Metrakos of McGill University.Said Metrakos “Pope Paul’s main argument appears to be centred on Jesus Christ's masculinity, but are we sure that Christ was really a male?As every elementary student of biology knows, females are XX, having received an X-chromosome from each parent.Males are XY having received an X-chromosome from their mother and a Y-chromosome from their father.If Christ was parthengenetieally conceived (a process which does some-timesoccurin bothplantand animal kingdoms) then as far as sex determination is concerned He received only one X-chromosome.and with no Y-chromosome, there could have been no maleness.” All of which.Metrakos concluded with only a hint of humor, should provide any feminist with X-traordinary ammunition! Contemplating the magic of the chromosome more seriously it should be remembered that some 300 years before Christ, the Greek thinker Zeno was unconsciously blaming our chromosomes when he came to the conclusion that we are what we are because we can’t help it.and the argument over whether or not he was right has never subsided.To those who subscribe to Zeno's theory, the tendencies which make us great or make us unsignificant, good or bad, smart or stupid are all inherited tendencies, the same as the colour of our eyes and hair, and while we may think that we excel because of our own effort, or fail because of our lack of it.we are merely following a pattern which our inherited chromosomes had set up for us before we were born.Fordyce Women’s Institute hold meeting The Fordyce Women’s Institute met in Emmanuel United Church Hall on Wednesday, January 9 at 1:30 p.m.with Mrs.Verna Patterson, President, conducting the meeting, asking all to repeat the Mary Stewart Collect in unison, followed by the Salute to the Flag, and Motto: “The greatest things are yet to come.” Mrs.Patterson then welcomed everyone, with a special welcome to our guest, Mrs.Margaret Bell, who later joined our group, and best wishes to all for the New Year.For the roll call everyone paid dues.The Treasurer’s report was given, showing a good balance.Two bills were presented and ordered paid.Mrs.Patterson paid tribute to the late Mrs.Gula Morrison who had been a long and devoted member of our Institute, and who will be sadly missed by all who knew her.It was moved to give a donation to the Memorial Fund in her honour.The report of the auditors was read and the ladies thanked by the President.Thank-you letters were read from Mrs.Wendy Dryden for the good wishes sent her mother Mrs.Gula Morrison while she was ill and also for the sympathy cards sent after her death;

Meunier said.“1 wanted very much to help him." Meunier said “It takes a long time for money to be approved by the church.” Meunier didn't have money, but she had a talent for creating crafts w’hich could be turned into cash “I talked to Pat (Lahue).and we decided to begin the project,” she said.The women invited others in the community to meet once a week for an afternoon of socializing and craft-making.The only thing the group doesn’t recycle is gossip.NO GOSSIP “We don’t tolerate any gossiping,” Meunier said firmly.“If it should happen,” she adds,” Pat and I would be obliged to ask those indulging to leave.” Lahue has donated some of the profits from the sales to the All Saints Guild to help with the care of the church.Other monies have gone to the Sutton school library and the Women’s Institute who allow the use of their hall.The project transcends all religious, linguistic, and political boundaries.“We come from all different backgrounds with something in common.” said Meunier.Many of the crafts are created jointly.“One woman may sew the cushion and another might embroider the border," explained Lahue Not all participants in the project attend the weekly afternoon sessions at the hall.TEAM WORK “My sister brought her knitting needles to Florida and knit 150 squares for a quilt while she was on vacation," Meunier said, pulling the colorful squares from a bag.“Now somebody else will have to put them together.” Another 93-year-old woman who finds it difficult to get out, knits mittens at home The recycled products are sold at craft shows and bazaars throughout the region.The group will gratefully accept donations of materials for recycling.An invitation is also extended to w'omen of the area to join the group for an afternoon of recycling at the Abercorn hall.For more information on the project, please call Pat Lahue at 538-1529 or Jocelyne Meunier at 538-5222.IMA(ilNK A new spirit of giving A national program to encourage giving and volunteering Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch No.77 hold regular meeting WATERLOO -

Early Anglicans were served by “.liJfti Hi 1961 photo of Christ Church in Sweetsburg.contractor was Mr.Jordan of Waterloo.Trinity Church was built in 1859 and consecrated by Bishop Fulford in 1860.The first marriage solemnized was that of George Barnard Baker and Jean Percival Cowan.Rev.Davidson was very interested in promoting education so with the help of his son, Mr.J.B.Davidson, rector of St.Armand East (Frelighsburg) and at the request of Mr.Peter Cowan, Esq., a high school was opened in the Old Court House.This continued until 1856 when the Missisquoi High School was constructed near the site of Pelletier Garage and Mr.J.C.Davidson continued as Principal of the school until he resigned from the Parish in 1871.The school was owned and operated by the Church of England, so when the Re v.Thomas Fyles came from Iron Hill to assume charge of the Parish of Nelsonville in 1872 and since he was also an enthusiastic educationalist the school continued to prosper.GOTHIC RECTORY Soon after Mr.Fyles arrived, land was donated by G.B.Baker, M.P.and subsequently enlarged by a gift from E.N.Robinson, Esq., on which a rectory situated midway between the two Anglican Churches was built.It was a beautiful brick Gothic structure with many gables and was situated where Deragon Garage is today.During Mr.Fyles incumbency, Bishop Oxenden decreed the Parish a Rectory under the name of the Parish of Nelsonville.The Rev.Fyles resigned in 1883 and was succeeded by the Rev.H.Darby Bridge as rector.Mr.Bridge was an eloquent speaker and popular with his congregations.He was followed in 1886 by the Rev.George Forsey, who was also a man of great ability.The Rev.Robert Davies Mills became rector in 1889 and continued the prosperity of the Parish.During his time, the first Christ Church at Sweetsburg burned and he was responsible for the erection of the present building, the timber was donated by William Beattie, Senior.PHOTOS/SY FULLER At the time, the Hon.Judge W.W.Lynch presented an Oak pulpit to Christ Church, Sweetsburg, in honour of Judge McCord.The church was beautifully decorated and completed as to its furnishings through the efforts of the Girls Auxiliary.PIONEER HERITAGE The two storey church, of red brick, with its niany old Gothic shaped stained glass windows remains as a reminder of the heritage left by our early pioneer ancestors.The Rev.James A.Elliott came to Nelsonville in 1894.While he was there, a former girls school, situated just west of the Congregational Church (now United) was purchased as an Anglican Church Hall in 1895.The renovation of this hall was financed by Mr.E.Buzzell in 1901.That same year saw the arrival of a new rector in the person of Rev.William P.R.Lewis.During the summer of 1903, Mr.G.K.Nesbitt, at his sole expense, erected a chancel and beautiful stained glass East window at Trinity Church.New brass electric light standards and furnace were also installed that year.A beautiful oak altar, brass vases and alms basin were presented at Easter 1904 in memory of the Rev.J.C.Davidson and Mrs.Davidson by their family.It was dedicated by Archbishop Bond.The pulpit at Trinity is a memo- rial to those of the community who served in the 1914-1918 W:ar and the Baptismal Font is dedicated to those who served in the 1939-1945 War.A book rack is a memorial to Jack Perrott, the young son of parishioners of Trinity Church.The Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Parish of Nelsonville was celebrated in August 1904.At this time "a little red book" was published by the Rector, the Rev.W.P.R.Lewis, and much of the information in this article is taken from that publication JUBILEE GIFT Also at this time a notable jubilee gift to Trinity Church was a beautifully carved altar of quartered oak, presented by L.H.Davidson, first incumbent of the Parish, and dedicated by His Grace, Archbishop Bond, Primate of Canada.The women of Trinity have done much to maintain this church and they continue their labor of love in the community.In 1903, the “Girls Friendly Society” was responsible for the complete reseating of the church.In 1921, the organ loft was erected by this same organization.At this time a brass plaque was dedicated in memory of Cowansville dentist Dr.John Lauder, who served for 30 years as warden and sidesman at Trinity Church.He died in 1917.A new organ was installed in 1968 in memory of George Baker.Among the organists at Trinity have been Landon Hall, Mrs.Edward Hayes, Mr.A.Windsor, Mrs.George Barker, Elizabeth Watson and the present one is Isabelle Beattie.Today a food bank operating out of the office annex is open every Wednesday to aid those who are in need in our troubled times.The Rectory’s study and secretary’s office were furnished by Isabelle Beattie in memory of her parents, Orin and Isabelle Beattie and brother Llewellyn.OYSTER SUPPER The present rector is the Rev.Charles Norris who arrived in 1987.The Annual Oyster Supper held for so many years in this hall was a great source of enjoyment to people from the surrounding area.Other Rectors have been the Reverends: W.Windsor 1916 A.T.Love 1920 F.T.Norman 1930 E.S Reed 1934

The quality of the engraving, obviously, determines the quality of the reproduction.Proofs are easily pulled for inspection before the job is run, in page form, or pasted up into a complete dummy.7.LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES In offset lithography, everything — type matter, photographs, art, etc.— is transferred to a thin flexible metal plate through a mechanical process of photo-chemistry.Proofs are available, in a somewhat more complex operation.8.PAPER Unlike some of the other ingredients, printing papers come in an astonishing variety of brands, types, weights, textures, colors, and prices.There is always the right paper for the specific job.It is important to know in advance what paper will be used because many of the other ingredients will be planned accordingly.9.PRESSWORK After plates are approved, the job finally is ready to be run.The size and type of press, inks, and method of running will have been determined.Once the press is started, no changes should be made by the customer.10.PROCESSING Finished press sheets go to the bindery or processor for any of a number of operations, depending on the job.These include laminating, die-cutting, embossing, cutting, folding, punching, stitching, collating, trimming, etc.These highlights of some of the steps from conception to finished product indicate that a great deal of careful planning is required.To help the printer and save yourself money, the following facts are important to know: Copy should be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of the sheet only, with ample margins all around to allow for marking up.Copy should be carefully read, edited and corrected in typewritten form.Changes after the original typesetting are known as author's alterations.Author’s alterations at the proof stage are the largest single factor in unexpected extra costs.Pre-plan to avoid changes.Accurate proof-reading — Copy, layout and art elements that fit the first time — sizes that cut economically out of standard paper stock sheets — are just a few of the elements that save money and make it easier to meet schedules.Often the buyer or planner has several alternatives as to the form his printed piece should take.Here are most of the basic formats, along with a few notes about each.BOOKLET.A stitched pamphlet of eight or more pages, usually with a cover.Ordinarily small enough to be called pocket-size.BROADSIDE.Single sheet of paper with at least two folds, usually opening up to a large, smashing type of advertisement or announcement.Economical because no binding is required.Sometimes used as a self-mailer.Not practical for reference because, like a road map, it becomes unwieldy when unfolded.BROCHURE.A large, impressive booklet, often used for such institutional purposes as anniversary books, histories, etc.BULLETIN.Formeriy a "flashy" type of news announcement (such as to salesmen from the sales manager).Now more often a standard size (S'/z" x 11") folder or booklet from 4 pages up used for such purposes as introducing a new industrial product.CATALOG.Essentially a booklet, but larger, and with many more pages.Can be casebound (hard cover) or loose-leaf, and usually with an illustrated listing of merchandise — with or without prices.DISPLAYS.Generic term for all point-of-purchase printed advertising, although often used only for 3-dimensional pieces such as die-cut easels for windows and counters.LEAFLET.Single sheet printed on one or both sides, usually small.Often used as an envelope stuffer.POSTCARD.Either government size (S’// x S'/?") or jumbo size, often used effectively and economically as part of a teaser campaign, to acknowledge an order, to contact salesmen on the road, etc.PUBLICATION.Any magazine, tabloid, booklet, or other format which is published regularly.365, rue YORK GRANBY, OC J2G 8H5 Tél.: (514)372-7192 Fax: (514) 372-0807 The logical solution for all of your printing needs: Commercial, Design & Four Color Process.Over 40 years of service to the region.We offer you a complete range of recycled paper products as well as environmentally friendly inks.
