The 46â€"member orchestra started the concert right at‘ 8:30 as advertiser}, playing selections from the popular "Sound of Music“. When this medley of songs was comple-‘ ted, Tony Wood welcomed} everyone. interjecting his own brand of wit. As people still searched for places to1 sit. Tony said, "You should bring your own lawn chairs". He also gave a warning to potential streakers. saying “you'd never make it through the tables anyway". The orchestra was formed in September 1961 as the Richmond Hill Symphony Orchestra by Arthur ‘Burgin, now its honorary director of music.

In Sudbury on the previous Thursday he came back to Toronto early on the Friday to submit a construction tender. On the Monday morning he flew to Chicago where a drizzling rain didn‘t cool a 71° tempe- rature. Back in Toronto on Tuesday for most of the day, he left for Halifax in the evening and spent Wed- nesday in the snow covered Maritimes. Back Wednesday evening to get clean socks, shirts and a kiss (I feel like a “pit stop") he left early Thursday morning again for cold Sudbury until Saturday morning. Boy Scouts would like to thank all who have‘supported the euchres by their presence, assistance and donation of prizes. This has made the gatherings the success that they have been. Hope to see you all in the fall. The members of the Tem- peranceville 4-H Homemak- ing Clubs entertained their parents at a buffet supper held in the school room of the church on Sunday even- ing. The party, with well over 50 in attendance, was planned and carried out by the girls, assisted by their leaders. Many of the parents had not met previously. But well planned games soon got the party rolling. All re- ported a good time and some suggested that they do it more often. Happy Eastér to all. And be sure to go to church w‘th your family. As the orchestra played selections from the light classics, opera, musical stage shows and the hit parade, guests (in return for the $2.50 per person admission charge) munched on a varie- ty of cheese. grapes and crackers. also enjoying the taste of all kinds of wine. Unlike other activities we've attended locally, the “cork- age" charge on bottles of wine was low, with rose, cold duck, sautemne, etc. selling for $3 per bottle.

According to legend, Eostra had a pet bird which. to de- light children throughout the ‘ world, she magically changed ‘ into a rabbit. Still a bird at heart so goes the tale the rabbit tr a v e l e d about laying colored eggs in various nests. Early people regarded the egg as a symbol of creation.

Skin cancer is almost 100% curable if treated ear- ly enough. But the cure rate for lung cancer is only about 4%.

Cancer is a world-wide prob- lem. Although there are ra- cial differences in its inci- dence, no group of people or nationality is except from it. Many persons believe all forms of cancer are equally serious and that none are curable. A diagnosis of can- cer seems to them like a death sentence.

Dr. Gunter Voss is the di- rector of the new Toronto Zoo, still under construc- tion, and it's interesting to note he embarked on this career after writing his ‘Ph.D thesis on the ovaries of Me- diterranean sheep. Shortly afterwards he married a wo- man whose doctoral subject was the ornamental plumage of Chinese mandarin ducks. Who knows. maybe the Zoo- logical Society will be able to boast the first sheep ovary with the plummage of a Chinese duck. Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday.
