The senior club meets every Thursday night in the town hall and has an invitation to mem- bership for any interested men in the town. The Junior club meets in the senior public school every Friday night at 7.30 pm. Boys and girls are invited to join the group. Plans are laid for: severiGG.2 programs to be added in the near future. The Drama Guild is still main- taining? interest with work on plays of various types. The present interest is in the old-fashioned "melodrama". Under the super- vision of the executive: Misses Barbara Hill. Joyce Cruise, the group of young men and women are meeting regularly at the town hall on Monday nights. _- Tuesday afternoon and Friday afternoon, the Legion room buzzes with the activity of housewives who are working and learning leather work under the skillful teaching of Mrs. B. Hanna and Miss I. Smith. Each meeting sees new faces entering the group and to date many women have success- fully finished projects which afford much satisfaction. The class is held informally from 2-5 pm. on these days and women are invited to drop in for all or part of the period. On Tuesday nights in the Senior Public School, Mr. C. R. Davies offers instruction in art to adult members of the community. At present the class is still in its early stages of development and there is room for several more people. The instruction is primarily on land, Mapes, with outdoor sketching as the emphasis. The color media are water and oil. _ ' Every Tuesday night the concert orchestrs reheerses in the King Street School under the direction of Mr. Bruce Metcalfe. While the ensemble will not be presenting I public concert this year, the work has been progressing steadily and the music bu been greduelly sp- pzoeching s harmonious level. The repertoire is increasing slowly, While membership has remained constant. The most important tent, lire of this aetivity is that it gives young musicisns and older men end women I. ml recreational out.. let. A Ilagsn which could be aptly applied here is that it is better to play than to listen-tUt is what these people practise. Membership in the group is open to any instrumentalist.

Jane Street is no speedway and any driver who thinks so may find this out in due course that 30 m.p.h. is the speed limit, that is, of course, if the notice at the Law- rence Avenue intersection is made to face south for northbound traf- fic. Comicnlly enough this 30 m.p.h. sign now points towards the orient. "A stitch in time save: nine" and iet's see Jane St. made safer for all, not in 1950 or 2,000 but at once. _ T.N. one evening last week got that common "dopey" feeling. Out came his bicycle and three round trips we: the aforementioned 'eraterized trackway found him in good shape again, even feeling as fit as Toronto’s specimen ot phys- ique-Whipper Watson. In the meantime, watch the acci- dent toll on Jane Street and the Scarlett Road section, as stated, for the part you want for your car- ‘you may find it there, dropped by %other car in its battle with the pot holes. I Is the Toronto and York Road Commission going to stand by and (iii even bituminous gravel the east side of this 16 foot road? Re- minds one of their neglect in filling in or better resurfacing the Bear- ilett Road section, just north and south of the Humber Bridge. Some of the holes on this their section ‘could be rented to a family or two ot snapping turtles. Oh year. We know that Jane St. is to be a super-duper highway and a wondrous bridge will be over the Humber River-but when will we see these ? When we go "East' for n trip or a tour we usually use Jane Street, and then, too, we often return that war. And right glad we are when We say goodbye to this narrow highway on which far too many drive It tb diabolical speed. More than ever before it is of paramount importance, T.N. feels, that (1) the roadway be widened; (2) the speed artists be checked. Whrt Solely because same street, whilst Main Street North is being operated on, is getting a vast load of through traffic. Council .......... Wm. L, Clarke B.
