Hi there: The Netherlands has a regulation requiring all TV commercials for candy to show a toothbrush at least one-tenth the height of the screen during the entire commercial. What a great idea. I wonder why I'm ready to lay odds that you will never see the same thing on North American TV? CONGRATULATIONS ST. LEO GRADS On June 24, the 16 grade eight students at St. Leo's in Brooklin held graduation exercises. The evening began with the students, parents and friends, celebrating Mass at the school.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Hague, their teacher, who helped and gave guidance so well during the past year. MEADOWCREST SCHOOL NEWS The end of the school year has been a busy time for the pupils and staff. There was an afternoon tea for Mrs. Hopkins, the librarian, who is retiring. Many former colleagues and students, as well as pupils and parents at the school came to wish Nellie all the best in the future. The staff took Mrs. Fraser, the school secretary, who is going to Harwood Vocational School, out to' dinner. Then there was a retirement luncheon for Don "Skipper" Williams, who has been the school custodian for the past one and a half years. At the "volunteer's tea", the staff were able to say "thank you" to all the parents who had helped out during the year with various jobs such as driving children to special events, tying up skates at the arena in winter, cooking, and working on a regular basis as a helper in the classroom. Each division of the school held special Field Days at which there were competitions in physical education skills that the pupils had learned during the course of the year. The grade eights will particûlarly remember graduation evening, and everyone will have enjoyed the last day of school. Mrs. Bain hopes you all have a good summer holiday and looks forward to seeing you all come September. LIBRARY NEWS Missing .. missing .. missing ..

Last April, Whitby Town Council recom- mended to the region that the developer's ap- plication to anend the official plan be denied. The Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) also recommended that the application be rejected. CLOCA reviews all de- velopment plans for hazard lands. In his report, regional plarining commissioner Dr. : Mofeed Michael said: "Their concern relates to the principle of extending residential lots below the fill and construction limits of the Pringle Creek and, as a result, infringing on the major open space system. "Further concerns re- late to the effect the considerable filling, which is required to im- plement the applicant's proposal will have on the function of the flood plain in the event of large scale storms," he added. His report also notes that the Ontario Ministry of Natural Re- sources concurs with the objections laid out by CLOCA. "The ministry con- cludes that it would not be in favor of approving a% *e eL bu mE i this application," Michael said. The Town of Whitby is also in possession of a petition from area resi- dents requesting that the plan be rejected. The committee's re- commendations will be debated at today's meeting of Durham Re- gional Council. > LOCAL ONTARIO E SPRING LAMB Fresh or Frozen By half or whole Cut and Wrapped Phone -655-3650 BROOKLIN HOME BAKERY & DELICATESSAN 61 BALDWIN ST.
