? - imiw ismm r r-fWF Friends of the family Mrs. Minnie H arret i sits with some of the members of her doll collection. Mrs. Harrell has dolls in the collection dating hack to the early /90ft Local collector gives dolls a home For centuries, dolls have been the answer to millions of little girls' wishes at Christmas time. Roughly made at home or delicate ly painted in factories, dolls have always been around to work their magic in the toy kingdom. The doll industry in its variety and scope, has created wonderful opportunity for the collector. Dolls, antique or not, can be col lected in all shapes, sizes, materials and costumes.. For Mrs. Minnie Harrell, of Harrrell's Antiques, dolls are just another part of the antique business but one that she has come to enjoy very much. "I'm not a collector," she in sists, in speaking of her varied dolls. "If I see a doll I like, I will buy it, though." Many of her dolls she has pur chased locally, either from yard sales or auctions. Some are old, others are foreign made and many of them are, probably, choice col lector's pieces. One of the most beautiful dolls Brock serves as Peace Col . editor Leigh Brock of Raeford is serv ing as one of the editors for the student newspaper at Peace Col lege for her sophomore year in 1985-86. She serves as the "Peace Times" editor in charge of layout and design and is also a writer. She was selected after interviews with the newspaper adviser and the 1984-85 editors and was appointed by the Publications Board of the college. Last year, she served as a "Peace Times" writer. Miss Brock is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie S. Brock, Jr. of South Magnolia Street in Raeford. Red and Golden Delicious, Mcintosh, Rome, Jonathan, York, Stayman, Winesap and Newton Pippin account for 85% of total commercial production of apples in America. Hoke Arts Scene By Sonya Falls Mrs. Harrell owns is a large Ger man doil with china head. She is fully jointed and has clothes pro bably dating back to the early 1900's. The doll's uniquely jointed system is a testament to the superiority German dollmaker en joyed for many years. Her knees feature a "ball and socket" type construction and her exquitsitely painted face has life-like coloring. A china doll of Harrell's is also an older, lovely toy. She has a china head, forearms and legs at tached to a cloth stuffed body. Dolls such as these were first made in Germany in the 1840's. This doll's dress looks very old, but Harrell acknowledges, she has no real idea of her age. w Another unusual doll, although not an old one, is Harrell's gourd head doll. "Miss Molly" has yarn hair, a cloth body and a charming ly painted brown face. Holes are drilled in the gourd through which to attach the yarn. "I understand that you have the right kind of gourd in order to do this," ex plains Mrs. Harrell. Throughout her home, in anti que high chairs or children's rockers, Harrell expertly displays her dolls.' Upstairs, in a secretary which she built herself, she has an ex cellent collection of Madame Alex ander dolls. These dolls, from the Alexander Doll Company of New York, are created from artistic and literary characters. Each one of the Alex ander dolls are very carefully made and dressed to match its original counterpart. Of the sixteen she owns, perhaps the most endearing are the "Little Women" dolls. They're all there; Marmee, Jo. Beth, little Amy and Making contribution Hoke Courtly High School Junior ROTC cadets present the Pate brothers with a check towards the construction of a War Memorial in Hoke County.

Even a Laurie doll was available with this grouping. These dolls are not old, but due to the limited quantity and good construction, they, will, one day, be collector's items. Harrell attempts to mend her broken dolls and often dresses them over after she acquires them. One "composition" doll that she bought "in a box, in pieces," she mended together and made whole again. Many of her dolls need "to go to the doll hospital", as she calls it, but she doesn't know where that is. She thinks somewhere up North, major repairs are made to dolls. Mean while, sbe tries to do her best on her "babies." Whether Mrs. Harrell receives any new dolls come Christmas morning is primarily up to that jol ly old elf in the red suit, but if so, the newcomer will have plenty of company. And she'll receive the best of care. No doll could ask for more.
