One morning, recently, quite early, yours truly and better half, had a-"'highly pleasing" half hour or so, watching a group of Mour- ning Doves on the lawn - 17 birds in all!

Food consists of grains, small seeds, and fruit. Nests in trees, generally, and eggs, usually two, are white. -Also, another pleasing sight...in looking at the pond - a few yards away - we saw some baby ra- coons...looking for food and hav- ing a swim! All this - during the extremely hot weather! Would the heat make a difference - I wonder! } A Summer Holiday Eleven year old Scott Davis, Hyde House, Scugog Point Rd, left for Scotland on July 20, to spend a month with his grand- mother Christina Henderson!

Acting up for 2 weeks is fun at Drama Workshop by Rob Streich During the last two weeks, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., strange people, unusual creatures and some outrageous activities have been going on in the base- ment of the Port Perry United Church. The first session of the Children's Summer Theatre Workshop has just drawn to a close, and everyone feels that it was a big success. Zakeana Reid and Jennifer Fletcher (both noteworthy ac- tresses in their own right) are running this adventurous pro- gram for a second summer. Children from Scugog Town- ship come out to develop, im- prove or keep up their skills in the dramaticarts. With the help of some friends, the high school seniors have been able to offer work- shops on mime, poetry, masks, a murder mystery and creative creatures. Of course the best part are the actual acting exer- cises, costuming, scene design and construction. Zakeana and Jennifer gathered up boxes of odds and ends, old clothing and special props to keep the creativity flowing and help the children enjoy themselves. The students in the July session this year said that they enjoyed the improvisational ex- ercises the best -"you just get up there and do your own thing," one girl said. To end their two weeks with the proper pomp and cere- mony, the workshop group put PORT PERRY CLINIC HOGAN'S HEARING AID CENTRE of Port Perry DENNIS J. HOGAN 230 Queen Street * NOTE NEW NUMBER * 985-4422 on three short plays for their parents last Friday evening.

The students were all very enthusiastic about the work- shop, and many thought that they would like to do it again - perhaps even the August ses- sion fromthe 7-18.
