Perhaps his impromptu appear. ance at the Palace Pier on the preceding Sunday had something to do with it. Did they request a return engagement, Mr. Fraser? It would seem that the tide is running out as far as some of the. boys in the Royal Oaks are con- cerned. The hope of pecuniary gain by moving greener fields is an appealing thought once more. We think, however, that those who are planning to stay with what might seem a sinking ship will be able to bring it to port once they try sailing with a lighter cargo. A smaller orchestra i i.

MBING and HEATING Colborne St., Oakville TEEN TOWN _-- By Bruce Squires | Last week I seem to have made hash of some information about the Teen Town plays, so Tl go, through the whole routine again and make sure I have made it straight with you. One thing I did get right was that the two plays are Romance is a Racket and the Bobby Sox Brigade, and the directors are Mr. Hardwicke (my first mistake), Dave Lynch and Mr, Carpenter, and Sheila Wilson is director all round (my, second mistake). My third mis- take was that the plays are on the 14th and 15th. The truth is that the dates are the 13th and 14th. Sorry I made all the er- rors.

This town has both a junior and senior club which are both affil- iated with the national group, the Canadian Philatelic Society. The C.P.S. annual exhibition was held in the Brantford City Hall where around 1,000 persons saw some 100 frames of stamps from all around the world. The outstanding feature was the winning of all the junior awards by Oakville Junior Stamp club members. Ken Chamberlain, who last year topped the senior section of the Lions club hobby show, was the winner of the jun- for class in the Brantford exhibi- tion. His exhibit was stamps of Iceland mounted on black pages, with the write-up done in white ink. A feature page showed the Coat-of-Arms of Iceland in white on a black page. The judges at first refused to believe the exhibit was actually the work of a junior so well was it prepared. Ken is the president of the local juniors. He was awarded his prize by. Mayor Alfred Whitaker last Tuesday evening at the joint Stamp club meetings in Victoria. Hall, President-elect of the CP. S., Bert L. Baulch, of Brantford, was here to congratulate the win- ners. * Second prize was awarded to the Jamaica collection of William Christianson III, which last year was the best in the local hobby. show. Exhibits in this year's national show featured many topics. Sub- ject matter collecting has come to the fore. Collections built around Alexander Graham Bell stamps and Princess Elizabeth stamps were numerous. Archi- SAVE TIME...
