The raffle tickets this year will be for the following prizes: a quilt, stitched by members of the Guild; a quill picture, crafted by Eileen Draper and a pine cone wreath by Mary Lou Carnochan. Refreshments were served before everyone got down to the fascinating task of creat- ing applehead dolls. Chris Renison aptly instructed the enthusiastic "dollers" in the art of carving faces out of apples and shaping and padding wire armature bodies out of coat hangers. It should be very interesting, when the drying process of the appleheads is complete in about a month's time, when we shall view the final results of what was to the most of us a first attempt in the art of making apple dolls. The next two Wednesday meetings of the Potpourri Handicraft Guild will be held on April 23 and May 7th respectively, both at 8 p.m. at Town Hall 1873.

After the business portion of the meeting, President Barbara Phair introduced Mrs. Owen, a Historical Society member, as a friend and summer resident of Scugog Island. Mrs. Owen fascinated the audience with a brief history of Eastern Canadian Glass Factories. She started with the earliest known glass works in Ontario which was at Melverton. There is a provincial historical plaque at the sight off Highway 2 in the Eastern part of the province. This factory probably burned down, as so many did, and with it went the records of all the glass and patterns produced there. On an archaelogical dig of the sight only shards of broken glass were found but nothing to positively identify the patterns of this factory. There were three other major glass producers in Ontario in the 1880's and 1890's. These were the Hamilton Glass Works, the Burlington Glass Works and the Sydenham Glass Factory in Wallaceburg. Mrs. Owen herself, is partial to Nova Scotia glass and showed the audience a number of beautiful exam- ples from the fifty or so pieces that she brought with her. In her research she has found that the glass blowers themselves formed a tight knit fraternity. As such they commanded excellent salaries and would often be involved as a group in parades and assemblies of various kinds. For these events they would blow glass hats, glass chains and glass canes which they would wear. These non-functional items are very scarce and of course valuable when found. Unfortunately a lot of Canadian produced glass left the country because the Americans became more AAD AANA attuned to the antique market at an earlier time than Canadians and thus imported a lot of our native glass into the United States. There is at the same time a lot of reproduction glass available and thus one must be careful in the purchase of some for collection purposes. Lillian Harper then accompanied husband Albert who performed three popular George Formby songs '"'as only Albert can do them." The meeting concluded with a long discussion of pieces of glass that the audience had brought with them, and two severe warnings - 1. Never clean old bottles with Draino. 2. Never wash your precious lids in hot water. ...OR TRY WEIGHT WATCHERS.
