The Meeropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is scheduling a series of conducted nature hikes this weekend (Aug. 20-21) in four of its conservation areas. Those taking part will be able to observe such mid-summer flora as joe pie weed, blue verbane, boneset (so-called because it was thought to have bone-setting at- tributes in its white flowers), and jewel weed (which has orange flowers something like ladies' ear- rings - the jewel weed in large patches attracts hummingbirds).

Mitchell - Innes, the appeal organizer, mentioned in his let- ter that he could put forward no special reasons to justify this 'request beyond the fact that the lborough of York and this theatre bear the same name. He express- ed hope that the Upper Canada 3Community and 17th Century In. 'stitution shared a common inter- est in Me theatre. In 1495. the first play in York was performed within doors, ra- ther than in the streets and early in the 17th century York citi- zens petitioned for permission to erect a theatre or playhouse. On Wednesday, York Board of Control, although sympathetic to the theatre's needs felt they could not donate to York's Thea- tre Royal appeal for 60,000 pounds (approximately $150,000.) for the improvement and extem sion of the theatre. On Sunday, they will be held at Albion Hills area, five miles north of Bolton on No. 50 Highway, at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and at the Claremount area, located in Pie. kering Township, 11/2 miles north of No. 7 Highway on No. 10 side. road. at 2 p.1n. and 3:30 p.111. ing and cooling systems The Theatre Royal was built in 1744 and rebuilt in Victorian times around 1882.

THE AIR CONDITIONED Due to such a good response at their Spring Hat Show, the ladies ot Elrverrston Papk United Church have arranged to show the Fall Fashions at the church on Cul- ford Road, on Wednesday, Sep- tember 6. Our own local Latent will be used for models, which adds to the interest, and it will also be an opportunity to visit with friends you haven't seen over the holiday season. During, this week, each morning the members of the choir are at. tending the North York Summer Music School. at Northview Heights Secondary School, and will complete the week by ap- pearing on the "Nation-builders" Show at the Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand. The show, on Friday, August 18 is spon- sored by the Canadian Folk Arts Council. Several weeks ago, I gave my readers my impression of the Cen, tettnial Train, which will be com. ing to our area today. You will see more details ot the traie1's visit to North York in another section of the Times. The ladies have arranged for a short program before the fashion show, and buffet refreshments following. Make up a party of your friends and neighbours for Wednesday, September 6 for the Silhouette Hat Fashion Show. As I am going on vacation, I will not be avail, able to sell tickets, but they may be obtained at the door, or fpom any of the church ladies. CENTENNIAL TRAIN AND CARAVAN Visitors are urged to bake ad- vantage of unlimited free park- ing at the Yorlrdale shopping centre and a free bus shuttle ser. vice from Ymrlrdale to the train and back. This service will up- erate daily from 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. on a continuous basis. Daily entertainment - Band concerts, choral groups. instru- mental groups, majorettes, pipe bands - to brighten your waiting time. No parking facilities are avail. able immediately at the tranfsite, Lawrence Ave. - Caledonia Road. Being so enthralled with the train, I eouldn't resist the oppor- tunity of visiting the Caravan when it made its stop at Port Credit last week-end. The advance publicity given to the Caravan is n-qt entirely true.

I The Caravan does have one ad, vantage to the general public. and that is the line-ups are much smaller, and at times nan-exist- ant. While we waited three hours to tour the train, we were able to walk right through the Caravan without any waiting. Maidstone Avenue, between Rustic and Falstadif is to have a facelifting. Due to the closing off Centennial train, which, as far as I am concerned, it is not. While the theme of Confederation is the same, the exhibits are entirely different, and quite refreshing. I have yet to decide which I liked the best. An tErtcial of the Caravan esti- mates an average of 4.000 to 6,000 visitors per day tour the trailers, with bhe record of 11,200 visitors on one day on location at Rich- mond Hill. Now here's a unique experience in telephoning - calling porpoise-to-porpoise! I heard recently of a porpoise- to-porpoise long distance telephone call which combined communications technology with marine biology. Partici- pants in the conversation were "Speedy," a trained por- poise at Marineland of the Pacific and "Splash," his Cot3n- terpart at Marineland of Florida. The two porpoises squeaked, chirped and whistled to one another over the 2,500 miles of telephone lines that separated them. Each appeared to listen intently to the other with only 0cea- sional interruptions. Fortunately. a porpoise is a mammal, so no one should accuse me of telling a fish story. It's eaSie-r for your friends and associates to contact you when your printed business cards and letterheads or personal stationery give your complete name and address. That includes your complete telephone "address" - not just your telephone number, but your area code as well. More and more busy men and women are finding it valu- able to have their area codes printed on 1etterheads and business cards. It makes it so much easier for business associates to reach them quickly by telephone when neces- sary. Even if all your correspondence is personal and you don't use printed stationery, it's still a good idea to let your friends know your area code along with your phone number. And to know the complete telephone "address" of your distant friends. Of course. using the area code is a must if you are able to dial your own long distance calls and you are phoning to a place outside your own area. Where one of our Operators must place the cell for you, giving her the area code helps her to speed your call along its/way. You could call this little yarn "Handwriting on the wall." It seems that a subscriber's voice was becoming very familiar to the Information Operator. The same woman kept calling, fairly often, asking for a different number each time. Sensing that she was being recognized, the lady apologized and explained to the Operator. "I'm sorry to keep calling you so often, but they just papered my room and covered up all my numbers."' The lady had the right idea, to save time and avoid number errors, it's a good idea to jot down frequently called numbers. Bat we think a Personal Directory for such numbers is much handler . . . and much less likely to be wall- papered! If you would like a Personal Directory for your frequently called numbers, just give us a call at 368-3911 and we'll be happy to send you one, free of charge. MMPLE LEAF q AMESB CR Y lit. B.
