"Kiwanians test political rivals With all of these industries in Etobicoke you wouldn‘t think that there would be such a shortage of summer jobs for teenâ€"agers but, as any parent of teenagers will tell you, there is and it is a real problem. Ken Banks, Extension Direcâ€" tor of the Northern Etobicoke Branch of the "Y" is trying to do something to improve the situation. He is trying to set up an oddâ€"jobs centre and is anxious to hear from any perâ€" spective employers who, during the â€" summer months, . might have odd jobs that the teenâ€" agers registered at the "Y" There were over 180 exhibits in all at the two locations, (Central Arena and Pine Point Arena). It was a good show and one well worth seeing. ‘ And how about the disposâ€" able sheets and pillow cases, and soft, thick bath towels made of paper? Sounds ideal for motel owners. You will be able to buy table cloths that look and feel like material that you just roll up and throw away when they get dirty. â€" I made arrangements to win a new typewriter (free draw)! This old typewriter of mine is in its second childhood. We learned quite a bit about paper products of the future. Paper dresses have been on the marâ€" ket for some time now but we were told that the new ones coming out soon will make the old @nes look like paper. You will be able to buy hostess coats, wraparounds, aprons and dresses that you can wear until they get soiled and then throw them out. All in beautiful colors and smart designs. We had just got started on our tour of inspection when we were offered a cup of coffee. A chat with the Carling‘s man revealed that tours of the Carâ€" ling plant are available to groups complete with a film showing (sports or nature) and refreshments as well at no charge. Did you get a chance to visit the Etobicoke Industrial Exhiâ€" bition last week? Dave and I dropped in at the Pine Point Arena exhibit one evening and came away impressed with the large number of industries that call Etobicoke home and the fine job that had been done in presenting this information to the public, Liberal candidate Alastair Gillespie and Conservative‘ canâ€" didate Arthur Harnett of Etoâ€" bicoke were guest speakers at the Kingsway Kiwanis Club‘s luncheon meeting, held at the Old Mill on Monday.

Mr. Harnett speech by sayi campaign | sole Etobicoke in t He was not being facetious, however, when he said that unity was the most important issue in this election campaign. Mr. Harnett disagreed. He said he considered the most important issue of the camâ€" paign, Canada‘s financial posiâ€" tion, including in this such things as high interest rates and the housing crisis. Mr. Harnett concluded his speech by saying "I‘m in this campaign solely to represent Etobicoke in the best way I know how. I have burned all my bridges behind me." PERMILLIE JACKSON by GLADYS TAYLOR Mr. Ozzie Waffie, who introâ€" Rexdale Ramblings allowed A brief As for Tommy Douglas, if you reverse his initials you get the D.T.s. So much for this week‘s political analysis in depth, Jackson style. Have you thought about the possibility that if Trudeau is elected and we follow the cusâ€" tom of referring to the top men by their initials that he will be Canada‘s P.E.T. Following that line of thought, it occurred to me that if Stanfield were a viceâ€"presiâ€" dent he would be known as R.S.V.P Mrs. Irene Field was honâ€" oured on June 19 at a special tea given for her by the women teachers of Heatherbrae School. After 35 years in the teaching profession, Mrs. Fields is reâ€" tiring. Thirteen of those years have been spent in Etobicoke schools, and for the past 9 years Heatherbrae has had the pleasure of her company. She also taught for one year at Westhumber P. S. All former Heatherbrae puâ€" pils of Mrs. Field‘s were inâ€" vited to attend the tea so that they might offer their best wishes to this fine woman who has devoted so many years to educating children. Incidentally, this is part of the proposed dropâ€"in centre program that was planned to combat the potential delinâ€" quency in the Rexdale area this summer. Unfortunately sufficâ€" ient money has not yet been made available to get the proâ€" gram underway. There is still hope that funds will be forthcoming but time is running out. If you would like to contribute to this worâ€" thy cause you can do so by sending a cheque to the Northâ€" ern Etobicoke Branch of the YMâ€"YWCA, 941 Albion Rd., Thistletown, and mark it for the dropâ€"in centre. All teenagers will be careâ€" fully screened to make certain that they are the right person for the job. The need is urgent so if you have anything that needs doing call 741â€"1630 and it will be looked after. could be sent out to. If, for instance you are looking for someone to help with spring cleaning, or someone to cut the grass and look after the garden while you are away, or do _ some _ babysitting, _ Ken Banks is the man to contact. duced the candidates, said that Mr. Harnett was fighting a war of his own during the 1940‘s. Though he is reticent on the subject, Art Harnett was discovered to have T.B, when he tried to enlist. He spent the next six years in a sanaâ€" torium. Mr. Waffle then declared that part of the meeting to be over. Mr. Gillespie was the only man he knew who "appears to have had his own army" during World War II. He was referâ€" ring to a misprint in the Etoâ€" bicoke Press. Only _ two questions . were asked at the meeting and these were aimed at Mr. Harnett. One Kiwanian suggested that since only Mr. Waffle and Mayor Horton had to leave the Kiwanis meeting for the Counâ€" cil ceremonies at Montgomery Inn, the rest of those present might remain â€" and continue questioning the candidates. Mr. Waffle repeated that the meeting was over. Anyone who wished to quesâ€" tion the candidates further had to do so in the corridors and the parking lot. 742â€"9403 poutuye 4 6 aM. ana ©P.m.
