@)¢ 4 | a The children in the have been kept busy various _ activities. _ At Elverston, the Vacation Bible School had a good turn out of aproximately 26 children _ who , enjoyed arts and crafts. This twoâ€" leaders and helpers hopping These busy people were Mrs. Ruth Beckel, Mrs. June Hammond, Mrs. Toby Yamamoto, _ Marianne Polowyk, Pat, Jim and Mrs. Kitty Larter, Debra, Cynthia and Mrs. Kay Haystead, Mrs. Mae Cann, Joan Profit, Bruce Crawford and Mrs. Mary Jordan. The youngsters arrived at 9 each morning eager for the day‘s activities. At times it seemed as though we couldn‘t keep up with the active 2 to 11 year olds â€" but we managed. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and were sorry to see it end. The Boylen Youth Centre is now open for the summer months and is already buzzing with activity. The boys, and girls too, have a very extensive athletic program and one of their teams has been asked to play with the Ontario All Stars. Members of the centre are offering their services to anyone in the community who wants any gardening, house painting, cleaning, basements, and â€" or garages or babysitting done. The money earned will be used to pay for camping or other trips outside the city. Just phone the Nelson A.

Three of the eight kids scheduled for the trip have gone to Quebec for a two week stay at a fee of I dropped in myself, on request, and found everyone busy doing leather work, bead work, painting or taking part in various sports. They all seemed to be en joying what they were engaged in. Plans are underway for a junior youth centre, to be held at Maple Leaf Public School, for the younger ones of the area. However, they do need the support and help of the people in the community. A great deal is being planned for this summer including dances, movies, and inâ€" teresting people to talk with. I would like to start this weeks column off by saying that the car I was driving won first prize in the car rally last Saturday â€" but that‘s not the case. Actually â€" we came fifth, but we certainly gave it a darn good try. Seven cars loaded with kids took off from the 0.H.C. project on Humber Boulevard at five minute intervals. Object of the rally was to follow directions given to us, and â€" answer _ questions correctly on various landâ€" Car number one, driven by Tarry Brown, community relations officer for O.H.C. left at 1 p.m. sharply. (Keep this time in mind as you continue along with the story). I drove the fifth car out leaving at 1:25 p.m. with Ricky McNeill age 15 and Theresa Masson age 13, as navigators. From Humber Blvd. we were to proceed west on Hwy. 401 to Hwy. 10 then turn north. For most, this should have been an easy feat â€" but I couldn‘t, for the life of me, remember where Hwy. 401 was. We had a five minute stop to look it up on a road map. After naming the two barns at this intersection, we were off on phase two. Before we were through we had named the make of gasoline sold at certain stations, named golf clubs and schools along with roads and villages and even speed limits through towns. Car number six caught up to us at a church where we were having some difficulty in finding the second date that was supposed to be there. It turned out that the date was almost at the top of the church engraved in stone. Very hard to see, in Following this, I asked Theresa what the next landmark was and she an swered "A white horse with a yellow mailbox". "A white horse?" 1 questioned. "Good grief.

(‘The average snowfall is 50 feet per year, but this year they had very active clouds and received 56 feet in all.) Crater Lake was forâ€" med by a volcano and is 1900 feet deep. It is all rain water and melted snow as there are no springs or rivers that flow to or from it. They travelled down the Pacific coast as far as the redwoods of California and then returned. The animals they saw were not always behind bars in a zoo. They saw everythng from a moose family to a coyote and a wolf to bears (grizzly and black) to sea lions. The boys found the prairie gophers fascinating. They saw killer whales at the aquarium in Vancouver. They even saw a buffalo herd and got to go horseback riding at a ranch in Calgary.
