The visitors come in the afternoons between 3 and 5 o‘clock, says Mr. Simmons, and "eat biscuits out of my hand, play a bit, and leave as suddenly as they came." One is apparently more nervous than the others, but all are friendly enough for the Simmons‘ children to feed when they visit their father at the store. This has been going on for about four weeks. The raccoons are "around sevenâ€"weeks old, and belong to a large family which inhabits the area around the Humber. Their nest is visible from the store, but the four always seem to be alone," Mr. Simmona said.

Driving school instructors have been advised by Metropolitan Liâ€" censing Commission not to conâ€" duct driving lessons on certain streets in North York. The areas prohibited include Maple Leaf Dr. from Keele St. to Cornelius Parkway and thf area bounded on the west by Jane St., on the south by Lawrence Ave , and on the east by Keele St., and on the North by Falsta{f Ave. Falstaff Ave., is the access to and from the Ontario Department of Transport Driver Examination Centre. One reason for the prohiâ€" bition in these areas is that Metro does not want driving school operators giving lessons to pupils in an area where later driving examiners may take the pupils for their test. Driving school operators are also to be prohibited from giving onâ€"theâ€"road lessons on any street that forms one side of a school or playground. Driving lessons also must not be given in Metro parks.

Although the province has agreed to pay 50 per cent of the half million dollars needed, the rest of the cost must be raised by North York and Metro. Mayor James Service of North York said he was disturbed by the lack of funds, and that he didn‘t know where the money would come from. By PEG GRANT ~ Harold E.
