Richvale News "Hello. this is Art Link- letter.” These were the words that greeted Mrs. May Barbour of Henderson Avenue. Doncaster, last Fri- day night when she answer- ed her telephone. Her first reaction was, “You‘re put- ting me on,” since the CNE headliner’s voice on the telephone did not sound the same as it does on TV and radio. However. the caller soon satisfied Mrs. Barbour and her husband, John. who listened on the extension. that he was indeed Art Linklettel‘. For at least 20 years, Mrs. Barbour has been a fan of the entertainer. and has seldom missed one of his broadcasts, either on radior or TV. Friday night at 7 she had turned on her TV set to watch “People Are Funny" and was under- standably annoyed when she found the program had been pre-empted. It was only a few minutes later when her phone rang and the caller proved to be the Famous TV Performer Calls Doncaster Lady Ell Correspondent: Mrs. Anne White, 24 Roosvelt Drive 889-3806 CORRESPONDENT: MRS.

The People’s Church invites everyone to attend a special meeting September 3 at 7 pm in a huge tent beside the GEM store on Yonge Street, north of Steeles Avenue. The phone call was prompted by son, David Barbour, who last week made his annual visit to the Ex to photograph members of the Canadettes with the stars of the grandstand per- formance. He told Mr. Linkletter that his mother was a devoted fan and had lived in San Diego when the performer was living there.

Carle and Allan and Joanne were camping at Schell‘s Camp on the French River when the Centennial Voy- ageurs arrived. This was a rest camp for the canoeists who left Rocky Mountain House in Al- berta in May and in 100 days are retracing the routes of the fur traders to Montreal, as a Centennial project. There are 10 canoes partici- pating. representing eight prov- inces and two territories. Each canoe is manned by six paddl- ers, with four spares accomp- anying them in trailers. Some families and auxiliary services are also along in trailers, so that the population of the camp in- creased by about 200 people. Most ethnic groups are repreâ€" sented by the paddler, includ- ing the Eskimos and Indians. Each canoe is named for one I of the'explorers of Canada and flies the flag of the province it represents. Ontario's canoe is; named for William McGillivary.‘ At ceremonials it flies a red flag‘ bearing the initials NW in gold. which had accompanied him on . one of his trips. a gift to the crew from a descendant of the explorer. A Also in camp at the same time were 24 Jesuit priests, in {our canoes, who are retracing the route of the founders of Fort Ste. Marie from Goldwater to Quebec City. The Jesuits’ can- oes were named for the martyrs, Brebeuf, Lallemand, Lalonde and Joques. The Carles sat on a high bluff with an elderly Indian couple to watch the display and found themselves e x t r e m e l y lucky since the man, an accomplished guide, was able to point out to them many features of handling a canoe which were not obvious to the casual onlooker.
