The schools in our area that will have such a program are Oak Ridges Public School and Lake Wilcox Public School. The four, five and six year olds will go from 9:30 to 11:30 and the 7 to 12 year olds will go in the afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30. Crossing Guards will be provided wherever possible to ensure the safety of the children. Registration fees are as follows: $5. for a half day program for one child, $84 for a full day program for one child, and a special rate of $15. for a family. All children must register during their regular playground hours on July 4 or prior to that at the Parks and Recreation offices at 10266 Yonge St. in Rich- mond Hill. These programs will start July 4 and will end Aug. 12. This is an interesting and stimulating program for the children.

Judging the girls were: Cathy Botham, Lyn Williams, and Janet Lalor â€" all of Willowdale, and Irene Kernohan of' Richmond Hill. Twenty-one parent volunteers were required to ensure smooth sailing, and many of them learned a great deal about baton twirling to boot.

Rene recently completed a new adaptation of Collodini‘s classic, Pinocchio which will be presented by On Stage productions in Decemnber. “Toronto is a good dramatic centre; it is not really the big-time but it is comfortable", Rene said. Children's theatre is not the only type of theatre they are interested in.

Professor Cumming noted SIS “bears no ill will toward Sikhs and there was no intention to insult or act "with malice toward Mr. Singh". No damages were awarded because Singh was able to continue in his previous employment and he suffered no injury to his feelings or dignity. Rene, who is fluent in English, Spanish and French, is currently working on an English translation of the Spanish. “The House of Bemarda Alba" by G. Lorca. “It has been translated literally before but not poetically which is what Rene is trying to do", said Marie. \\=§\\§ RN x A ribbon for me!
