They play for the love of music for those who love to dance. This unusual "Glen Miller sounds" band is scheduled to play at the Newcastle Village Hall on May 23, 1981 as a final fund raising project for the Newcastle Scouts CJ'81 trip to Alberta in July. The band is unique in many ways. They play the big band sounds so loved by the last generation. The music recalls many memories for those of that day. But, they have found that more than just the "old folks" love their music. Many of the younger crowd enjoy the sounds and easy dancing. The "Music Lovers Dance Band" was the idea of three fellows who went through the last war together. They were good musicians but didn't want to make it a paying career. Today, the band has grown to 19 members dedicated to preserving good dance music for those who enjoy a good time. But good music isn't their only goal. This band wants to help others too. So they play primarily for non-profit community-type organizations, organizations, charging a fee only a fraction of what a similar type of band would require.

None of the band members is paid for their performance. While the band is out of Toronto, its members come from an area from Bailieboro to Peterborough to Milton and everything in between. They drive to Toronto every week, and year long, to practice and develop their technique. They have produced two L.P. albums (all sold very quickly) to assist in purchasing equipment. This band promises to provide a evening unique to this area and at the same time help local Scouts achieve their goal. Tickets may still be available by calling 987-4845 or 987-4523. By Karl Shaw Protecting Your Investment So you are a pool owner! Congratulations! Whether your pool is brand new or ten years old there are some things which might be worth knowing. In this article we shall outline some ways in which you can prolong the beauty of your pool and protect your investment. The function of the liner in a pool is to hold water. A secondary point is the cosmetic value of the liner or its appearance. Liner pools require minimal on-going care, but a small effort can produce dividends. Liners are affected by improper P.H. If the P.H. is consistently too low or too high, the liner will lose its suppleness and will become brittle. Sharp objects obviously shouldn't be introduced into a liner pool, and the family dog shouldn't swim in it either. When floating oil or other material causes a water ring or water line, this can be removed by using a non-abrasive vinyl cleaner. The function of the coping is to hold up the liner and to enhance the pool's appearance. Plastic coping can be waxed to prevent it from dulling. If the coping is a painted metal, you will probably be doing an annual touch-up. To protect the chlorinator, be sure to use only the prescribed chlorine. If you mix stabilized and unstabilized chlorine in a localized concentration such as a chlorinator, it will explode! The pool pump should not be run dry or damage to the mechanical shaft seal will result. To ensure that the pump gets enough water, prime it to start up; be sure the pump strainer is clean and the valves are open. Follow cautious winter close down procedures. One final note which is worthy of mention. Be sure to have adequate insurance not only for public liability, but also for damage to the pool. This property damage coverage or an "all perils" comprehensive should be presented as a rider to your household insurance. Be sure that you have all the coverage you need. kwrs We have a beautiful selection of flowers, as well as...
