COLBO^||E COUNCIL (continued) Escape From Boredom She's a tail, w'Mwy reread and her pprofesstionial name, Kay Wise, rhymes with the call letters of the radio station in Winnipeg, CRY, where she has earned a reputation for outstanding ability in the communications field. Though her husband is not entirely in sympathy with the modern trend of working wives, he did appreciate that Kay was becoming intensely bored with a household routine which contributed little to developing, or (perhaps I should comment, continuing her talents. When her son reached his teens, Tanis Yankewics (Kay Wise) realized she had been on the PTA, extra curricular activity circuit just long e-nough. She had explored and tonouered a number of crafts including a pottery course, and had also learned to be a glider pilot. She is the delightfully frank type who doesat brag about her pilot's licence, rather very graphically desribes how terrified she was When she had to solo for the first time. Her husband took the glider course wit tf.ier and while stil filled witLi enltfausiasm for the sport, v.vtnt right up into "the wild blue yonder" In their own glider which they purchased v.dth rash exhilaration'. Much to the chagrin of son Tom, aged 14, they sold the gflddedr when both their lives became more involved. Tom is "an aviation nut" according to his mother. Perhapps this has come naturally to a youngster Who was born in a military hospital in Chiurclhill, Manitoba, while his father was stationed there serving with the Department of Transport. This was a memorable experience* for Kay, whose method of using ice blocks melted as the sole water supply of the household, at times, almost overshadows her present successful activities. The posting was made bearable for Kay because she joined three book clubs and learned how to listen for the Chug-chug of the great long CN freight trains as they snaked their way across the permafrost to dump their cargo of wheat into the huge government grain elevators. These are Churchill's skyslerapers and about the only thing which breaks the horizon, for this northern port is many miles beyond the tree line and the buildings of the village itself are mostly one and two stories high. During that period of her early married Me, one of her social activities was waiting tor the CN Churchill tour which arrives annually in August. Then the town seems to come alive with activity. I am sure the tourists, many of them Americans, must have been deli "h- At a speciST meeting ^ (he Ontario Farmers' U;^^ tbe Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Marketing Boards and Cooperatives, Toronto recently, it was agreed that a special lfrrniaai Ctomimitttee be established to work out the struc re of one organization to serve all Ontario Farmers.

Haines addressed a letter to the Council re rubble left in extension of Cedar St., west of Percy St., near the Hinton house He statd that several representations had been made to have it removed, to no avail. He asked Council for its removal as soon as weather conditions permit. This was referred to the new streets and sidewalks committee for action.. Councillor Spencer of the 1967 Property Committee reported on the heating unit in the Town Hall. Dampers had been installed in one unit to give better heat to the lower floor in the north end of the buildidnig. He suggested that tion is set up, approval would have to be given by a special convention of OFU, Mr. Miller said. Charles Munro of Embro, OFA president, stated' that in the interim, the work of the OFA would proceed Wth dispatch. He pointed out that there is no leup in the problems facing Ontario farmers. "There must be a Taeasure of good will for the creation of a mew organization with strength and adequate financing to speak on behalf of the former," said Mr. Munro.

A Born Career Woman "s 'It was an ad seeking a pper-son suited to a public relations position which started Kay toward1 her present activity. Successful at obtaining the job, she worked at making arrangements for conventions and running a contest for teeagers with the grand prize being a chance to see and hear the Beatles. When I met her, it seemed to me she must be one of the happiest and most fuddled wmmen in Winnipeg. As women's editor of CKY, she airs two one hour shows five days a weekk. Both are "fun" pro-garms. With "Party Line" she becomes a radio Ann Landers, offering advice to housewives and one da ya week recipes for their menu planning. In the afternoon, "Tradio" comes on the air when Winni-peggers write or phone articles they wish to swap, sell or bur*. The only items n«t acceptable are cars and real estate. She also broadcasts on rernite control programs and during the Pan-Am Games last summer, did a witty ad lib broadbast from one of the windows of the Hudson Bay store and' interesting interviews with many of the contestants. here is apparently no limit to her versatility. Early in the spring she joined "Century West", a Centennial calendar project acting as the voice over and was co-host with smother western Canadian radio personality, Murray Parker, on a half hour broadcast each Thursday evening.
