Instead all will be com- ing together for a grand finale in the town arena in “Summerfest '74" begin- ning at 7 pm August 7.

Mrs. Eileen Blake, 65 Oak Avenue, and a small group of friends have for some time been operating a volunteer animal adoption service. They take in stray animals as well as kittens and pups from people who have litters they cannot find homes for. Mrs. Blake makes sure that every animal has been checked by a veterinarian and had distemper shots be- fore it leaves her care. This is vitally important, she says, for distemper is conta- geous and almost always fatal. And even if the ani- mal recovers it may be se- riously crippled. She runs classified ads re- gularly offering pets free to good home. but during the summer there is a lull in requests for the kittens and the puppies. Fortunately she has facilities on her proper- ty to accommodate cats, but the puppies are housed at another location. At present she has a litter from a part Siamese and another from a black mother ready for adoption and some too young yet to leave their mothers. Adult females she has_spayed.

' Mrs. Blake and her friends are planning a bazaar for the fall to keep the project going and are looking for donations of saleable items. People seldom offer cash donations when they pick up the pets, she says, yet they do need funds for the dis- temper shots and other ve- terinary services. Anyone wanting a pet or wishing to make a donation for the bazaar may call Mrs. Blake at 889-0268.

ROBERT CAGE Moves To Hillcrest and from 10-3 Sa- serves faithfully Recently a number of Ward 3 ratepayers visited the David Dunlop Observatory in Rich- mond Hill and enjoyed a tour of this University of Toronto facility which is known throughout the world. For the majority of the ratepayers, even though some of them are longtime residents of the town. this was the first visit to the observatory. It gave them an excellent opportun- ity to appreciate the achieve- ments of the staff in the past and the present and the crit- ical problem they are facing with light pollution from rapid growth to the south. The view from the catwalk of the 74 inch telescope dome provided the visitors with a different perspective of the effects of growth in areas surrounding the observatory and the pronounced effect shielded and filtered lights can have in reducing the amount of “visible” light in the sky. The group expressed thanks to staff members who con- ducted the tour and provided an insight into the work and problems of the observatory, and their appreciation of the status this facility has brought to the town in the past and will. with proper planning, continue to bring in the future.

They also wel- comed the guests to the chapel and to the wedding and introduced the ministers to those assembled.

The Dutch Ecumenical Youth Choir and the Chan- cellors of Central United Church, Weston, presented the program entitled “Volc- es From Across The Sea”. Throughout the month of July the congregation of St. Mary’s Anglican has been meeting with that of Richmond Hill United in the latter church. The Rotarians drove their guests to the theatre where they heard a very enjoyable variety of singing from clas- sical to excerpts from “God- spell".

Dyers, such de- cisions are taken in consul- tation with the congregation and ministers concerned. but the move was made ne- cessary because of an emer- gency situation in Oshawa. Rev.
