The parents were divided into three discussion groups and led by an expert in one of the three topics for the evening. General consensus of opinion of the group discussing dropâ€"in centres was that both teenagers and Over 350 amateur, teenage and professional painters in the greater Toronto area submitted 375 paintings in the Rotary Club of Downâ€" sview‘s latest painting exhibition, known as the Centennialâ€"Plusâ€"Three.

However, the report did find inconsistencies in the boundary of the one fare zone. The oneâ€"fare zone appears to be based on a five mile radius emanating from the intersection of Yonge and Queen Streets. The oneâ€"fare zone extends beyond that boundary to the east, west and north. However, in York, all of ward 6 and a major portion of wards five, seven and eight together with part of ward four are in the twoâ€"fare zone. representational and abâ€" stract.

Ten other arâ€" tists received prizes of $15. parents should become actively involved with the centres. It was felt teenagers would prefer the parent‘s activity, to be confined to behind the scene organizing. The discussion group also felt that a more active dropâ€" in program should be imâ€" plemented involving more community oriented acâ€" tivities for the youth. Some suggestions put forward by the group were baby sitting, car washing and helping the borough‘s senior citizens. John Hindle, chairman of this year‘s Centennialâ€"Plusâ€" Three Painting Exhibition commented on the pleasure and enthusiasm expressed by the teenagers and their parents when they were informed by telephone of The most entries were received in the teenage category with 182 paintings in all.

The parents praised the Rotary Club for the opportunity being afâ€" forded their children to exhibit their paintings to the public. Mr. Hindle was assisted on the committee by Edwin Matthews, John Hand and Alan Byers. The project received the full support of the members and wives of the Rotary Club. Mary Byers and an efficient staff of Rotary wives received the paintings on Thursday and Friday, April 1 and 2. Lou Davis, John Pierpoint, John Hengs and Ed Thorneloe, four students from Emery Collegiate, were of great assistance in hanging the paintings while the Rotary wives under Bess Thomson catered the wine and cheese party on Wednesday night. The painting Exhibition is a community service project of the Rotary Club of Downsview _ under the directorship of Don Thomson. The success of the cenâ€" tennial year _ project prompted the club to proceed with the event in the following years, with each year bringing in more and more entries. Many eminent artists have been judges, including A.J. Casson of the Group of Seven. It afforded the artists with an opportunity to have their paintings judged _ and exhibited in the community, as well as an opportunity to earn _ substantial â€" cash awards. Each painting has the artist‘s name and telephone, and if the painting is for sale, its price. Visitors to the gallery are invited to contact the artist regarding the purchase of paintings, and the entire proceeds go to the artist. As a service to the community, the Rotary Club of Downsview receives no remuneration of any kind, and in addition to many hours given by the Rotarians and their wives, the project costs several thousands of dollars to promote.

Mr. White agreed with the general feeling that there were too many restrictions on the opening of the needed centres. "The basic need for a child is love," he said, ‘‘The government is tying too many knots." FROM BACH TO ROCK One of the better suggestions coming from the discussion was the idea of installing portable buildings in parks to be used as day care centres during the summer _ months â€" when schools are not using the buildings. The day care centre discussion group agreed that the need for such centres increases during the sumâ€" mer months, when school closes and many "wouldâ€"be" babysitters _ leave _ for vacation. in one evening.
