^- f J -J i •4 TEEN-TOWN TOPICS By BARRY MURKAR Gaod Stuff, l.'ete! Some time ago, . we (lid a spotilight on a young fel- low from Pickering by tlie name of that time lie had just competed in Peter Kaiser, baritone soloist. At the Kiwanis Music Festival and walked off witli top honours. Well, last week he appeared on the radio J - 'â- jograninir, ".Stars of Tomorrow" , over C B L Coast-to-Coast. We think he did a grand job and know that, if you heard him, you enjoyed him. Who's On Second? While the bouquets are being tossed around, we can mention Neil MacCarl of Wliitby who is doing a bi gjob of shports-reporting for the local pap- er there. -Neil is taking the journal- ist., course at Western University. This is the course that Varsity threw down the drain-pipe. West- ern, being new and modern and eager to help those who want to be something, took the coure which is partly sponsored by the Canadian Weekly Newspaper .â- Kssociation. Back to MacCarl. Neil writes a crisp and snappy column and has been seen darting around with a pad and pencil at sports events at Whitby for a number of years. Who knows? Here we may have «nother Andy Lytic. Friggin' in the Riggin' Sailing ^hich is a very pleasant pasttime for anyone who hkes water is stilt as popular as ever. We note with interest the recent story of the young sailors at the Toronto Club who will have no part Tii women just as well. Sometimes the fool- in their sailing activities. May be ing around in boats when young uns of both kinds get together results in trouble. Hockey Star Checked: Eric Poguc, hockey star of the famous Oshawa Generals, well knowa througout the province, was check- ed up the other night In fact he â- was stopped so suddenly while rid- ing a horse at Pear's Park, Toronto, he was thrown off. The horse went into the act too â€" knocking a man, a woman and a child flat. Pogue, as we hear it, was not hurt, self while riding the blades in- but feels much more sure of him- stead of a horse. Poguc is slated to appear with the Generals again next season. Democracy is Fun: The above is the title of a piece that appeared in the June issue of tlie Kotarian, one of the finest magazines in the country. The story concerns a group of Iowa youths who saw and solved a problem that sot a wliole town talking. It seems that the young people of the public and high school of Dubuque, Iowa, have cleaned up on theatre vandalism 'in that typical American town of eO.OOO population. One morning a group nut in the school auditorium. They discussed the problem and then elected an investigating committee which in They learned that torn scat cover- ings, plywood peeled off the back turn met the theatre managers, of the scats, lip-stick writing on tke powder mom walls and other injuries to the theatre premises â- were costing the managers about t50 a week. These young people went to town on the matter. Things began to happen fast and, before they knew it, they had the local press and radio station helping them. Today Dubuque citizens are talking aplenty about the change the young people have brought about among themselves. Every- one oined in to help and now they have their own school council. Heading the whole idea was a kid named Daryl Koch, a 13-year-old. The teeners there have proven that they can be ladies and gcntlmen. This isn't the end of the story. â- On April 20th, the famous .singer Kate Smith presented her junior citizenship award to the "all out- standing youth in boys' work in the United States." The contest direcf- a boy "who Is not afraid to get ors had announced that they wanted his hands dirty." The chap who stepped up to the microphone in New York City that night and thanked Miss Smith for the honour was 13-year-old Daryl Koch of m place called Dubuque, Iowa. The story of some hometown democ- lacy had got around. Docs that give you sonulhing to to think about?

Clarke Something seems to tell me that this is summer! At any rate it is the time of heat and haying, sudden storms and summer visitorsâ€" but not necessarily relatedâ€" and times when everything seems to hapcn at once. Saturday for instance: The merf were working like fury trying to clear a big field of hay before threat- ening slorms could step thcni or the close of the day bring c normal end to field and barn activitit: \r.\ be- tween them they did it. Partner took over the chores while the boys stayed out in the field. One load they brought in just about had me quak- ing. I was sure the wagon would never go into the barn or that John would be decapitated in the process. The load swayed crazily on the rough ground and as it approached the barn 1 stood watching. John crouched lower and lower, the horse* lugged their way into the barn, the beam over the doorway caught the top of the load until it pushed a few forkfuls of hay back and back and finally over the end of the rack. Ex- cept for that the load did go into the ham. Haviiis; reassured myself on that point 1 moved "the Greening* out of the sun into the garage. May- be my mind was on the load, or maybe it was the heat, anyway when I wanted to j;o to town a couple of hours later 1 found the ignition still on and the battery worse than use- less. I thought to myselfâ€" "Well, that's something for Bob to deal with â€" and will he be mad!" After supper I told him the worstâ€" and he wasn't mad at all. In fact he took the opportunity to do a little experiment- ing. Instead of towing the car or getting a store battery, he jacked one wheel up and then turned the wheel just as he docs the fly-wheel on the tractor â€" an<l, presto, away went the motor as slick as you please. Then came Sunday. Both the boys CNjiccted to be away most of the day and as Partner and I were not look- ing for any visitors we intended to make the most of a quiet day and rest up a bit. Incidentally there wasn't too much to eat in the house because in humid weather I try to keep perishable food supplies down to a minimum rather than have them spoil. Of course you have guessed â- what h:'.pp( iK(l ! Yes, we had visitors all right â€" visitors from a distance â€" for dinner, afternoon tea and supper. Eui don't think they starved. On a farm there is always something one can rustle up a meal with in a hurry, but imtil one has thought it out one docs have a few had moments! And believe me, short rations notwith- standing, we were pleased to sec our vi.sitors. » » * Then came Monday : Carpenters were here first thing in the morning to repair the hayfork track. Partner left the boys to help with the job while he went out to mow. While all the men were thus occupied a truck ' came along to pick up a veal calf we wanted to have butchered for the locker ; then along came another truck for two veal calve.« that were going to market and of course each time I had to hunt a man to handle the calves. Sometime during the morning John came to the house: Looking for bolts in a bo.^ at the barn he had disturbed a bee's nest- By the look of John's arm one bee had shown active resentment, the others ; were buzzing around angrily just near the driveway in the barn where the horses take their load. As every- one knows bees and horses is a bam don't make good companions. I fixed up Johnny and then, after I had given the bees time to quieten down a bit, I fixed them too. Thank heaven for DDT â€" it can sure save I a lot of work and misery on a job like that. * * • The news saysâ€" "Hot again to- morrow" â€" oh-oh- â€" and tomorrow my «islir-in-Iaw is coming to slay !
