Miss Leslie took over the area from Miss Nancy Ruth. Bowring who moved to take over a new area in Nova Scotia. Of the total number of calls 61 were for general nursing care. Three health inspection calls were made. Post natal cases brought another two visits and five visits were made to see the mothers of newborn children, In addition Miss Leslie cover- ed the Oshawa area on several occasions, On September 30 the annual VON. pre-natal classes begin in the audiforium at Fairview Lodge. Miss Leslie will be giving instruction. Classes start p.m, Facelift Results Soon It will now be the end of Sep- tember before a final decision is made on Whitby's ambitious "facelift" scheme to brighten up the downtown shopping centre. Reason for the delay is that the town Chamber of Commerce is seeking a greater variety of designs and choices to put be- fore its membership. The Chamber of Commerce, which inaugurated the scheme, has approached four additional architects and asked them to prepare color designs, These, Chamber President Johnny Pantony said yester- jday, should be ready by the end |of the month Then a general membership meeting will be held; The five choices will be put before the meeting, Traders will have a last chance to ask questions and finally make up their minds. After this a definite "yes" or "no" to whether the scheme will go ahead or not is expected. The Chamber-of Commerce is confidently expecting a com- plete vote of confidence.

Brooklin won the first game of the series here at the Brook- lin arena on Saturday night by a rather convincing 9-3 count. Many of the local fans were surprised at the ease in which the locals handled the big guns of the second place finishing Seal Tests. 'We think however that per- haps Brampton were playing a little cagey. They are known to be mighty sharp operators and this could be one of their tricks to try and get- the Brooklin team to think they have a push over and then bounce right back and trounce the locals. The Brooklin team as a whole should be too smart for any of those tricks but one never knows, We have seen some of the local big guns goaded into some foolish penalties this year and almost cost us a game and the series. Let's hope this don't happen again.

The group, composed entirely of youths from the Whitby-Osh- awa area, are in the midst of aja two-week run at the Spruce Villa. Originally the contract was for just one week.

It's our own sound--a Canadian sound." Like all good modern groups none of the members can read a line of music. They learned to play their instruments by ear and they play by ear. There is no gimmick either. No long hair, no sequined suits. They just get up there and play. And the crowds go really wild. Except for 'Stoneface' Crofton all the boys in the group come from Oshawa. Wally Gales, otherwise known as 'Chunky' is the group's sing- er. As his nickname implies he is a short rather chunky man.
