-ontinued from page 1 the March 21 annual meeting of the Pinewood Court District Home for the Aged as the township's News and Reviews by Conrad Felber Well, hello again. Yes, it's another column of news and reviews. This week I was sent the very first issue of a brand new Canadian magazine for children call- ed THE FUN FACTORY. I haven't seen it for sale on the local newsstands but it is available by subscription if you are interested in it (I'll give you the address to write to in a moment). The magazine, which sports a $1.50 cover price, has a full color cover and black and white interior pages. According to a news release that accompanied the magazine, THE FUN FACTORY is designed for children from six to 12 years of age. I think 12 year olds may not find too much of interest in this publication, but it seems ideal for the younger folk. There are word games, puzzles, mazes, rebus games, fun activities, rid- dles (some of which are downright silly), coloring pages, secret messages, a computer quiz, connect- the-dot, and much more. It Letters Letters to the editor of the Terrace Bay-Schreiber News are accepted for publication and are en- couraged. All letters should be sent to the editor at the News, P.O.

If you would like to receive this magazine on a monthly basis, send $15 for 12 issues to The Fun Fac- tory, Box 1268, Station 'T', Toronto, ONtario, M6B 4A4. On the other hand, if you would like to see what you are going to get for your money first, I still have that sample copy here at the News office. First one down here gets it! What would an enter- tainment review column be without a Best and Worst list? Far be it for me to deny such things. I guess I'll start off with television. I've already told you some of my favorite TV shows from last year (to refresh your memory, I mentioned ST. ELSEWHERE, CHEERS, HILL STREET BLUES, and LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN), but there are some other shows that are not too bad. You might like to give MOONLIGHTING a try, not to mention AMAZING STORIES and TWILIGHT ZONE. policy number. This information does not necessarily have to be included in the published letter, but it must be available so the editor can confirm that the letter was actually written by the person who signed it. All letters are subject to being edited, especially if they are lengthy. Please try to keep your letters short and to the point. We look forward to hearing from you!

Later in the meeting, council discussed a matter originally raised in that week's issue of the Terrace Bay-Schreiber News. Reeve Ollie Chapman echoed comments made in an editorial in the paper, As far as shows that I don't like go,-this is a tough one because if I don't care for something, I just don't watch it. Here 'm referring to regular offer- ings like DALLAS, DYNASTY, SIMON AND SIMON, FALCON CREST, KNOT'S LAN- DING, and so forth: Now to the rock music scene. The best albums of 1985 were (in no particular order): "This Is The Sea"' by The Waterboys, "'Hounds of Love" by Kate Bush, "'Low-Life" by New Order, 'Songs From The Big Chair" by Tears For Fears, and "Once Upon A Time"' by Simple Minds. I'm not much "into" singles, but the best that I heard last year were (again, in no real order): "Sun Ci- ty" by Artists United Against Apartheid, '"The Perfect Kiss" by New Order, *'How Soon Is Now"" by The Smiths, "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush, and **Mothers Talk" by Tears for Fears. You'll notice I didn't mention We Are The World anywhere in the above two lists, nor Bruce Springsteen or Bryan Adams or Corey Hart. Hey, just because something is popular, that doesn't mean it's good. Let's quickly move on to movies now. I would like to admit right at the start that I missed quite.a few quality films last year, in- cluding PRIZZI'S HONOR, TWICE IN A LIFETIME, THE COLOR PURPLE, ELENI, PLEN- TY, OUT OF AFRICA, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, A CHORUS LINE, RAN, MISHIMA, and a few others. All of the above have made somebody's Best 10 list. Now that I have that notice out of the way, here's my list of the best films of 1985 that I did see: THE KILLING FIELDS, WITNESS, MASK, CO- COON, and DUNE. However, I expect THE COLOR PURPLE to win the Best Pictute Oscar this April. Remember ... you heard it here first!

"We do not have a snowmobile by-law, I don't think," she said. **'But we should consider having one, anyway." Ramsay agreed. '"We should look at this,"" he said, "but we have to get something that is enforceable."' "*T want to ask the Chief (of Police) to dig out our Anti-Noise By-Law to see if that covers snowmobile noise,'" Romanuk said. Reeve Chapman agreed and said the entire matter will be brought up again at the next council meeting, which is scheduled to be held on January 27 starting at 7 p.m. in the Township Office Council Chambers. june3 Census day The Women of the Moose will sponsor a Breakfast Penny Auction and Bake Sale at the Moose Lodge in Terrace Bay ~ Sy Breakfast from 9 a.m. - 12 noon os. -- Adults $3.50 per person WS -- Seniors & children (up to 12 years) sae he '\\ i $2.00 zo a. y= fs Special platter for the hearty appetite G4 is ta Zz i = ia = Penny Auction & Bake cS eo aw "- se Sale to begin at | p.m. There will be a special guest for the kids Everyone is paclaiaa oe eer 3 SD, = >i = --=s3 l = ee! ||| ---- ae -- STUDENTS -- SUMMER JOB OPPORTUNITIES Hosts / Hostesses for 1986 season <at ARIO PL 'ol Orih Student applicants must be available for the entire Ontario Place season commencing May 1, 1986 and closing September 1, 1986.
