TEEN TOWN By Don Lovegrove How Carmen Miranda ever bal- ances some of those fruit bowl Here's hoping you had better luck than I did!

COUNTY COMMENTARY TO CONSIDER PROBLEM OFF STEWARTTOWN CALAMITY HILL Calamity Hill, the tricky short stretch of highway through Stewarttown, may come in for some attention from the county road gang this summer. If deputy- reeve George Leslie, of Esquesing, has his way, it will get plenty of attention, In' fact. Mr. Leslie told county council last week the work was long ov- erdue, and that several more ac- cidents had occurred on the hill during the past winter, Tmpress- ed by statistics he produced, coun- cil agreed the short, picturesque but treacherous bit of thorough- fare should come under road com- mittee consideration when esti- mates are approved. Inexpensive Service A wéekly newspaper 'can pro- vide a lot of service for a moder- ate charge, the Acton Free Press demonstrated last week. When a couple of Malton bound Kitchen- er men missed a suitcase while passing through that town, they stopped off and inserted an ad in the Free Press. It turned out the case had fallen out of the car near Crewson's Corners, and had been run over by another ve- hicle, important papers it contain- ed being scattered over the high- way in the process. Police found the case. Mrs. J. Airdrie found the papers and bundled them up 'friends and phoned the address listed in the Free Press ad. The Kitchener man forgot the address, however, so Mrs. Airdrie took the papers to the Free Press office, where ed- itor Orloff Dills dispatched them Dy express to the owner. The pap- er's charge for ad and service was fifty cents, while Mrs. Airdrie re- ceived a package from Kitchener for her assistance in thé matter.

Busy at the task of putting together a hat for the Hat Hop this Friday I found that milliners have their problems too. Collecting together the needed materials, I had no trouble getting everything lo- cated on the old fedora I had chosen for my task.

Not to be undone I set it on my head once more. Again it slid to the floor. Who said my head is square? Disgusted, but not discouraged I set about to rearrange my fan- tasy. "There, that should do it" T sald as I waltzed to the mirror. Alas, once more it slid to the floor. This time I did not control my fury however, and commenced to jump up and down on-my: Par- is creation and passed comments which I am not permitted to pub- lish herein. I sat down to catch my breath and ponder . my position, which would not have been so good had the family heard my outbreak of temper. "I'll give up for now," I decided.

"Probably no one has done more to promote teen talent and give these young entertainers a help- ing hand than Ken Watts of Simp- son's," the writer stated as he paid tribute to the fine work of the Oakville M.C. He went on to mark the progress of some of the win- ners of Ken's contest to shows the wonderful shove it has given them up the ladder to success. "The whole show was excellent- ly done, with nothing amateur about it," he' concluded, which should show just how much suc- cess Ken is having with his pro- teges.
