NOTES J

VOLUNTEER TASKS FOR MADE BY HAND '85 (July). As is true
for all projects of the CABC, Made by Hand exists only
due to time spent by volunteers. The entry fee of $25
nty seem like a lot, but when only 115 people enter, the
total barely covers the costs of jurors, publicity and
other printing, and a little exhibition equipment. There
is no money to hire any helping hands - so anyone with a
few hours to give is most welcome. The times and jobs
will be assigned on a first come, first served basis, so
eigen up early for the best choice of jobs and times.

So whether you are an exhibitor or not, call the CABC
and a job assignment will be reserved for you.

GREENBARN POTTERS SUPPLY LTD. has received a booklet
enmlled "Measurement of Emissions from Electri Furnaces
luring Ceramic Firing". It eontains the results cf a
very esrefully condueted series of tests of bisque and
low fire plazes. The results indicate that carbon
monoxide and possibly sulphur in the bisque fire as

the only elements that exceed the TLV (Threshold Limit
Values), and simply having an open window in the vicinity
is sufficient to remedy this. Copies of this report can
be obtained from "Kiln Teats", F.0. Box 22302, Indiana-
palis, IN 46222 for $2.00 each. It contains 11 pages of
comment, tables and graphs. Tt does not mention strange
amella.
