The group will go on to beâ€" come a summer replacement, Monâ€" day nights, starting in mid-.[une and continuing for 11 weeks. Billie Bridgman will be seen on the ‘Juliette special‘ Spinning the television dial mext Monday evening, May 13. will be more than a fundamental fingerâ€"exercise for many viewers: it may be one of the most excitâ€" ing, too, as they see Billie Bridgâ€" man, North York singer and danâ€" cer, dance into camera range durâ€" ing the Juliette special. * Show of the Week started audiâ€" tioni back in Midâ€"December, and out>of the 450 talented and spirited young men and women (17 to 25 years) who tried out for a spot on the "big spectacle," only 25 actually made it. Among those who survived the "seven weeks of eliminations, drill and sweat" is 19â€"yearâ€"old Billie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Bridgman of Jubilee Cresâ€" cent. A secondâ€"year student at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, Miss Bridgman is takâ€" ing a degree course under direcâ€" tion of Mme. Irene Jessner, forâ€" merly .with Metropolitan Opera In a woman‘s magazine, some time ago, I came across a picture depicting the reaction of three mothers, who lived from the vicâ€" torian age to this present day, to the large blob of dirt their small sons had left on the clean bathroom towel. The victorian age mother turned her son over her knee and soundly spanked him; the second mother scolded her boy severely: the third mothâ€" er kindly told her son not to do that again. To remedy the situation the first mother had to heat water in a wash tub on the top of the stove and wash by hand. The seâ€" cond mother had the use of a mechanical washer. All the third mother had to do was toss the towel into the automatic washâ€" er. Evidently the punishment meted cut was in relation to the There is no reason why a municipality shouldn‘t regulate animals and birds as well as people. The borough of York took care of the animals and birds this week with the enactment of a new bylaw which consoliâ€" dated many of the features of the old Weston and York aniâ€" mal control bylaws. People who like to keep pigeons, for example, will have to meet several requirements. They will not be ailowed to keep more than 20 pigeons and they must be confined to a pigeon loft made of wire mesh and which is escape proof. The borough will take a very dim view if the pigeons are allowed to escape from the pigeon loft or are even let out for a fly. Any pigeon loft must be at least 40 feet from any store, shop, house or apartment building. Other building requirements for a pigeon loft sound as though they came from a minimum standard of housing bylaw. The loft must have a floor of concrete or wooden construcâ€" tion and the floor must be at least 18 inches above ground level. The bylaw has a protective feature for the pigeons. It syas that the pigeon loft must be a rodentâ€"proof structure. The pigeon house must also be painted, according to the byâ€" law and the walls must be washed every six months as a good housekeeping measure. > The above nonâ€"flying regulations for pigeons are mainly for amateur pigeon keepers. In another part of the bylaw some flying privileges are extended to pigeons who have owners that belong to a recogâ€" nized pigeon club. These "professional" pigeon keepers may keep any numâ€" ber of pigeons. These upperâ€"crust pigeons are even allowed liberty for one hour each afternoon. There appears to be no limit in the bylaw as to the flying range or weather condizâ€" tions under which pigeon flying in York is allowed. The same bylaw also warns the population of York that they .cannot keep any chickens, skunks, monkeys or reptiles in their homes. Also banned are mink, racoons and foxes. The ban does not apply to mink coats or racoon hats. Birds as well as people are regulated in York G.

The spotless Son of God was made to be sin. All the filth of sodomy, deceit and lawlessness was heapâ€" ed on Him at Calvary. The holy and just God wreaked upon His beloved the punishment due to the human heart. It cost God to forgive. It was not a glib transaction, a gentleâ€" man‘s agreement sealed with a signature. No, it was a time of anguish for both Father and Son that spelled out in no uncertain terms the intensity of the love of God for mankind. Let us avail ourselves of that forgiveness for greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends 162â€" 10% off Bring this AD The official opening of the Shepherd, Weston Rd. on Tuesâ€" Bloorâ€"Danforth subway extension | day evening, May 14 at 8:15 p.m. takes place this Friday, May 10.| The guest speaker will be Mrs. The official train will leave the | Buck of Humeweed House telling Warden station at 1:30 p.m. proâ€"|of her work at this Anglican ceeding westbound.
