CAKDALE HEIGHTS 1 am, of course, referring to the Calico Gazette, which is the first edition of what should be a very promiging school y;u- book for Calico Drive Public School!. Sure, it is an amateur production and rather unlikely to win any literary awards, Nevertheless it held the interâ€" est of every reader, child or adâ€" ult which is more than the majâ€" or dailies can boast. It ‘had less typographical or grammatieal errors than most newspapers 1 have ever read and in short despite the fact that I know it was being pubâ€" lished and was dying to go over and offer my assistance, !1 am glad I stayed away. The book or paper was a howling success and perhaps my kind offer would only have brought disâ€" aster. After all, 1 remember having honours in arithmetie in school yet when I helped my daughter with her arithmetic, she was so confused it took the teacher a week to get her old average back again. And so to all those who worked on the Calico Gaz ette, my hearty congratilations for a job well done and may you have a bigger and even betâ€" ter paper and circulation next year. On Saturday, June 20th the Oakdale Heights Sports Associâ€" ation held their Field Day. There was a fairly good attenâ€" dance and the air was congenial and warm with music coming through the P.A. system under the direction of Alf Screeton. There was an exhibition ball game, if you can eall it that, beâ€" tween some of the older teens in the area and the coaches. I _ guess these â€" youngsters thought they could beat the fife out of the "oldtimers". Ha, Ha, you should have seen the ex pression on their faces when coach Bob Running went aâ€"run ning all right. When he got to homeâ€"plate and they were still fumbling for the ball cveryone was surprised, even Mrs. Runâ€" ning. The tricycle paradé was a big success as there were about 15 trikes entered and each one better decorated nicer than the next. I was glad I was not a judge. The winning boy was Chuck Wozniak of 35 Coquette Road and the bestâ€"dressed girl‘s trkie belonged to Barbara Sharâ€" ron of 63 Magellan Drive.
