YFC was unable to field complete teams for either the indoor or outdoor events as two' members failed to attend. In a competitive: event at Slack Farm, New-


sholme, home of Mr and Mrs D. Newbouid, Swiss rolls were the subject of the indoor judging and dairy cattle of the outdoor

Roof latest At the recent meeting of


dolls were something else! They are made of porce­ lain and she has her own moulds and kilns, but buys the slip, wigs and eyes. She moulds the heads, legs and arms but the soft bodies are made of cotton and stuffed with a wire support so that arms and legs can be bent. All the faces are different as they are sandpapered, shaped and smoothed before being fired and painted. The fir­ ing takes a day and each doll is fired three times. Eyes and wigs are added and the doll is then ready for the hand-made cos-,


tume. The hobby is an expen­


sive one as wigs are £11, shoes £5 and eyes £3. The size of the dolls varies


from seven inches to 24 inches. The smaller dolls are often given as birth congratulations with the name and date of birth of the child on the doll. Sometimes the dolls are for sale and the cost depends on the size, but having seen the work involved in producing them they are priceless. Mrs Pountain has some


110 dolls, though 40 of them live with her daugh­


ter. Apparently the craft is very popular in America and some of the finer accessories come from there. It was a fascinating evening and everybody seemed to want a doll of their own. All agreed that it would be good for Mrs Pountain to come back with more of her dolls another time. A vote of thanks went to
