REVIEW from Crystal Pages ALL AROUND THE TOWN By Mary Higgins Clark A timely story this, current, right up to the mark, brand new. This is, in fact, this author's latest work, on subjects bound to evoke quivers of terror in the hearts of any parent of a quite young child. The relationship between multiple personality, with its dreadful scourge on the life of the afflicted, and previous though forgotten abuse, is shown in all its terrifying wonder as the author leads us through the labyrinths of the tortured mind. Today, one is painfully aware of the indecencies which have been perpetrated by people 'of the cloth'. It's now no longer a surprise when we pick up the news and find yet another deviant soul has been discovered to have wrecked the lives of the young in its care and this story has a similar theme. The girl has a loving family, but a family who refused to acknowledge the concept of what she might have suffered before her return. By not being able to deal with her pain in an understanding and therapeutic way, she was opened up to the agony of living life as a non-integrated soul. All the facets of one's personality which one learns to keep in check, were bouncing free - all the time, disastrously.

The Rotary Club of Bowmanville planted 23,000 trees in 1991,25,000 trees in 1992 and a further 20,500 this spring. Local students were organized to plant the trees, the MPP explained. "The Rotary International and the Rotary Clubs in my riding of Durham Durham East deserve our congratulations congratulations for the valuable lesson being taught to our children through this program," said Mr. Mills. Barbershoppers Raise Over $1,300 Sixty-five Durham Region mothers mothers were serenaded by four travelling Barbershop Quartets from the Oshawa Horseless Carriagemen Chorus on Mother's Day. Fifty-three visits were made to accomplish this. Quartets met mothers in a shopping plaza, a hotel, a golf club, a flea market market as well as in the mother's homes or of relatives. "A lot of Love was shared", was the comment of Milton Rainey, a quartet member. The reactions of the Mothers varied from happy surprise, giggling with embarrassment and pleasure to nostalgic tears. All seemed well-pleased. The enthusiasm of the quartets was shown by their giving impromptu impromptu performances at a Bowmanville Nursing Home and Oshawa's Lake- view Park. More than $1300.00 was raised for the Harmonize for Speech Fund which assists in speech therapy at centers such as the Campbell Village School in Oshawa. The Horseless Carriagemen wish to thank the subscribers to the program program and the media who helped in the success. They are grateful for the opportunity to have fun while giving pleasure.
