DAVIS HULL PRAISED BY PERIODICAL A boat built by Bob Davis of Oakville forms the subject of an article in a recent issue of Boating Magazine, published in Toronto, "Kaihi" is the name of the craft, a utility fishing runabout built for E. A. Mabee. Its home port is Gan- anoque, on the St. Lawrence in the Thousand Islands district.

Kai-hi, the reader is informed, is the Samoan word for fisherman. fo Children Built by the donations of citizens and organizations who had recognized the great work of the 75-year-old Hospital for Sick Children, this handsome new building will be formally opened on Jan. 15 as the future home of the hospital. versity Avenue, Toronto. it will contain the finest in equipment, capable of meeting the needs of the largest out-patient, as well as in-patient, demand in the world.

Three new mem- 'TEEN TOWN By Don Lovegrove During the last few months the teen-agers of Oakville have wat ched with intense interest the construction of the new Commun- ity Centre. As the huge beams arched skyward they saw a dream true . . . an artificial ice to accommodate their sporting needs. With old man winter being sparse with his frigid elements during the past few years skating and hockey en- thusiasts have been forced to travel out of town to enjoy their favorite pastime. Soon this will all be erased. Construction men are working at top speed in an attempt to provide an ice sur- face as soon as possible and should haye it in operation before the end of January. All in all the future looks bright. With this in mind the Teen Town Council has turned this Friday evening's activities over to their Arena Committee and all receipts will be given as a dona- tion to the campaign committee. Admission for this Friday only, will be members 25c; non-mem- bers 50c. Let's see everyone out to support this worthwhile ef- fort. With the New Year's over and everything back to normal, yours truly found time to sit back and enoy a few minutes reading the weekly newspapers. As I thumbed my way through the Montreal Standard I came upon an article which interested me greatly and which deserves some attention by all teen-agers. As a rule I am not a follower of Kate Aitken's column, but when a dis- tinguished columnists labels her column "Necking and Flirting," it can serve to rise a great amount of curiosity. Kate Aitken's im- pressions of teen-age petting, as she called it, was something to behold, and she deals wonderfully with causes, cures and the teen- ager's view of the subject. Take it from me and don't miss this one! Always ready with something new, Bev Hills our refreshment convener came up with delicious hot chocolate and donuts to fill the menu last Friday. Very de- licious if we may say so. Elizabeth Taylor's claim to adult stardom is complete except for one small detail, which Liz plans to clear in the near future. Court proceedings are being pre- pared for her divorce from Nick Hilton and she will have her name placed on the Hollywood divorce lists, true claim to fame in the fickle film capital. i another FUEL OIL SHORTAGE is MOST OIL COMPANIES ARE REFUSING NEW HEATING CONTRACTS lY COAL IS DEPENDABL IN SPITE OF WARS, STRIKES, ETC.
