Have you attended any of the Sunday : Evening Concerts at the Bandshell in Exhibition Park? It is a perfect place to be on a hot, muggy night. The open skies and the proximity to the water seem to increase the enjoyment of beauâ€" tiful music, expertly performed. And where else, I wonder, does one have the opportunity of sharâ€" ing a common experience with people of all ages, from infants in arms to the very elderly, and from such a variety of ethnic, racial and socioâ€"economic backâ€" grounds. It‘s a good feeling and one I highly recommend. â€" Ellis McLintock and his orchesâ€" tra provide the entertainment at a concert to be held at Rexdale Plaza, Aug. 2. The fun starts at 7 p.m. This will be the last of a series of summer concerts held at Rexdale Plaza as part of a proâ€" gram offered by the Recreation Dept. of the Borough of Etobiâ€" coke. If you enjoy the concerts why not write to the Dept. of Recreation and tell them so. I‘m sure that your support would be appreciated and perhaps the deâ€" partment might be encouraged to provide a longer series next year. The Kiwanis Club of Etobicoke North have come up with a very interesting and unusual centennial project. A committee, chaired by Barry â€"Brennan, â€" has _ acquired through the coâ€"operation of the Dept. of Lands and Forests, two adult beaver, a male and a female. (a nice arrangement). They are to be presented to the Kiwanis Club of Cincinnati, with a suitably engraved plaque, to be presented in turn to the local zoo. August 1 is the date set for the presentaâ€" tion and a delegation of Kiwanians will be going to Cincinnati to be on hand for the occasion. Pupils of the Junior and Interâ€" mediate Sunday School of Rexdale United â€"Church have adopted a brother in Vietnam as their Cenâ€" tennial Project. His name is Haâ€" You know, kids of 16 and over can get jobs for the summer, babies are content to stay under their mother‘s wing and paddle about in pint sized pools, but what are we, the inâ€"betweens, left with? We‘re too young for jobs and too old to be satisfied playing in pools. What to do ? Dear Kids: Well, there is a place near you that will provide creative activity, games, the opportunity to meet new people and a lot of fun. What‘s it called? Summer School of course. Summer Schools are supervised by students of about 16 years and up, who have applied and been accepted as Summer School teachâ€" ers by the Board of Education. There are many Summer Schools throughout Etobicoke, but, I have chosen Valleyfield Public School as my example. Tony McCloud and Jim Holt assisted by Brian, Nick and Pat, run this school of 81 chilâ€" dren. This I believe, is the record number of enrollments for a Sumâ€" mer school. Recently Valleyfield kids, who are 5 to 15 years old, held a bottle drive and collected eighteen dollars and eightyâ€"two cents. It shows what many hands can achieve. There was a popsicle stick conâ€" test here too. The children collectâ€" ed as many popsicle sticks as possible and the one with the most got a prize. The prize was preâ€" sented on Monday. The Summer School held their annual Penny Carnival on Monâ€" day, too. There was a white eleâ€" phant table selling small statues and other pretty odds and ends. Ten other booths completed | the perience and specialized skills result in the finest work . .. we know you‘ll be delighted. _ _ "THE BEST IN BRITISH CRAFTSMANSHIP"â€"Our years of exâ€" For Free Estimates Call 741â€"2510 Jill‘s Jottings ALBION UPHOLSTERY SOFA and CHAIRS NOW‘S THE TIME TO REXDALE â€" RAMBLINGS PERMILLIE JACKSON (Opposite Humber Valley Golf Club) by Jill Coleman 355 ALBION ROAD YOUR WORNâ€"OUT Nom and he is 11 years old. Beâ€" cause of the situation in Vietnam, Haâ€"Nom‘s education has been deâ€" layed and he is just now in Grade 1. Money raised by the showing of Walt Disney films on Saturday afternoon is being sent to Haâ€" Nom‘s father to be used to proâ€" vide food, clothing and education for Haâ€"Nom. Mrs. John Bennett, retiring president of St. Benedict‘s C.W.L., was honoured for her extensive work with the executive and memâ€" bers of Council. Rev. G. Breen presented Mrs. Bennett with a pastâ€"president‘s pin and expressed his appreciation to the retiring executive and all members for their efforts and _ achievements during the past year. Mrs. Vincent Albert made a presentation to Mrs. Bennett on behalf of the members. President: Mrs. V. Albert; First Viceâ€"President, Mrs. F. Hastie; Second ‘Viceâ€"President, ~Mrs. R. Burns; Third Viceâ€"President, Mrs. E. Paterson; Recording Secretary, Mrs. G. McComb; Treasurer, Mrs. D. Ryan; Guide and Brownie Conâ€" venor, Mrs. F.Graham; Radio, TV and Film, Mrs. M. Sabadash; Spiritual Convenor, Mrs. G. Puckâ€" ering; Press Convenor, Miss A. A "Pennies in a.Jar" contest contributed to ~the â€" excitement. People tried to guess how many pennies there were in a jar and th person with the closest guess got a prize. The money from the bottle drive will finance the Penny Carnival. Proceeds from the fair will pay for an excursion, for inâ€" stance, a swimming party. The Young People of Rexdale United Church have accepted an invitation issued by the Board of Evangelism and Social Service at Church Headquarters, to present their Centennial Folk Mass, as one of a number of demonstrations of new forms and techniques of worâ€" ship, at an all Ontario Conference on Evangelism for Ministers and Elders. The Conference is to be held at Whitbhy on August 30. More than 100 people attended the Pot Luck Supper sponsored by St. Benedict‘s Catholic Women‘s League and convened by Mrs. John Scanlon, that was held reâ€" cently as the closing event of & year of League activity. The newly installed executive is as follows: fair. Two people supervised each stall. Daily life at Valleyfield is fun. When the younger children are playing "Sally Saucer", "Doggie, who‘s got your bone?", "What time is it Mister Wolf?", "Fire on the Mountain", "A Tiskit a Taskit", hearing a story or telling jokes, the rest are playing dodgeâ€" ball, baseball, fourâ€"square, volleyâ€" ball or running races. In the afternoon there‘s arts and crafts, where you could decorâ€" ate a can, mould asbestos or make a mat out of newspaper. Yes, there‘s plenty to do at Summer school for everyone. Why don‘t you give it a try? I know you will love it. There was a rummage sale on our block the other day. Models, comics, dolls and dolls clothes and other articles were sold at reasonâ€" able prices. The sale was for the owners‘ private profit. Did you hear that the Centennial Swimming pool at the plaza at the crossroads of Islington and Dixon was closed because of fire? It is a bad loss because it is usually unâ€" crowded and is generally a nice pool, and we are short enough of pools in Etobicoke already. Well, Good Luck. Your Pal, Jillian. Here and There Mrs. George MacDonald presentâ€" ed a farewell gift to Mrs. John Scanlon who is leaving St. Beneâ€" dict‘s and thanked her for her McKenna. i 2 V EP FRIDAY AND SATURDAY f J a atr 1826 WESTON EVERYONES INVITED TO ...
