Corks are glued together to form the doll's body with a homemade press one of the husbands made for them In the church basement an assembly line has been set up Some women are painting the heads and faces of the dolls and as the figurines mow down the as sembly line there is a box of hair, a Ixix ol dresses and a Ixix of wings “It's a real production line," Keith said Each AIDS angel is also baptized with an African name handwritten on a name lag.The label also describes the Grandmothers to Gmndmot hers campaign.The Townships grannies are members of the Canadian Federation of t imversity Women Sherbrooke District.They’ve a I ready sent a cheque for $ 1.4(H) Pi i am si » Grannies on Pace 4 Patient services fine, says CHUS By Brion Robinson Sherbrooke The University of Sherbrooke's decision to pull 108 tiled students out of the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrrxike has had no affect on patient service, says France Champagne, media relations advisor for the hospital “The impact of their absence has been very minimal." Champagne said, noting the interns are there to observe their instructors and not to provide special services.The university's faculty of medicine and health sciences cancelled its intern program after medical specialists in Quebec's university hospitals said 1(117 would no longer train students.The announcement is a pressure tattic on behalf of medical specialists to force Quebec City to raise their wages and improve working conditions They also want repeal of a special provincial law that imposed a wage settlement tiny consider unfair Discussions over salary pant y have Ph ase see OH IS on Pace 4 ulie Rodier OU rr mmi ¦heat ''- MO , -most ncocs Max l T-OROMN »t tmaT > SMipweK-jt» r siePwRBCx' y ïmk.'
