Original Toronto Star caption: The Corn Dolly revived; Medieval reapers in England; where corn means any grain; made corn dollies of the last sheaf of grain; and sat the doll; in clothes of colored paper; in a pew in church for the harvest service. Knox United Church in Caledon revived the custom yesterday and 6-year-old Tim Brooksbank got a closer look after the service.
