They spent the entire. winter at a workshop, designed to make them 'pros' and they have become pros, in every sense of the word. "It's Our Stuff" is the title of their sum- mer series Mondays at 9 p.m. , and the kids dance, sing, act, and just plain 'have a lot of fun'. In addition to their work in front of the cameras, some . also write portions of the show. Many of the girls have had bal- let training, and all take their work seriously and have worked hard to develop 'their talent, personality; and stage presence. Some of the finest voices in Canada are probably part of this group right now, with many fine young song -writers as well. A very interesting facet of the show, is the personal introduc- tion to some of the kids; they begin as only .a face, then you hear aar acne nand learn sone- thing of what makes them tick, and they almost become friends for the summer! KEVIN TURBITT named his entry in the soap box derby Red Hot and she certainly was just that in the final run down John Street. Kevin is seen being congratulated as the winner of the derby by Lion Lorne McDonald.—Photo by Strong.

He is one of.the regu- lars on the show, and a very funny entertainer. The hosts are Tony Sandler and Ralph Young, a singing team who work mainly in the U. Si, They are natural, always at ease, good with their guests and act as though they never say a mean word to one another. They are different from most singing teams, in that each of them sings a different song at the same time, . and this has brought them praise and popularity everywhere they go. Try it with a friend sorrietirne; you'll find it's not easy! The boys' hosting assistant is Judy Carne, a former English girl who once starred in "Love on a Rooftop" and is now . in . "Laugh -In'. Like most of the Laugh -In performers, you can only take Judy so long then she ..betoines4itherboring ic. • lous. She really deserves s o e - thing better than her 'Sock -4t - to -me' role and apparently she's beginning to think so too! 0--0--0 The British pop group The Rolling Stones were hit a bit hard last week with the drown- ing death off one of their mem- bers, Brian Jones. The life of show biz for Britain's young . has not been .a bed of roses. But then, life is only what you make of it! In Hollywood, actor -businessman Ben Alexan- der died last week. He is re- membered as Jack Webb's co- star on -"Dragnet". And has Elizabeth Taylor really said she is retiring? I'll believe that when I see it! These people who have grown up with show business in their blood can't turn if off like water. A ft e r awhile, any role will look good and she'll be back. The only thing that would really force retirement would be a recur- rence of her back ailment or other serious illness. Asked to send information for family tree For most, summer means more work. Blit if you are one of the lucky ones who can "got away from it all" for a week or in this hot weather, take a few good books with you. You can obtain several at the Bel - more Library, open Tuesdays and Saturdays, 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. It is located in the In- stitute Room at the community centre and during the weeks that it has been located there, more books have been taken out than during all of 1968. This is evidence that more lo- cal people are taking advantage of fine reading material. If you haven't visited the library yet, by all means do so. It is another indication of the pro - gressiveness of our small com- munity. Mrs. D. Hare of Toronto spent a few days last week with Mrs. Eldon Renwick and visited other members of the Renwick family. Miss Dorothy O'Malley of the 2nd of Culross, now of To- ronto, has arrived home after spending some time with her brother Michael and family of Calgary, Alberta. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Fitch and family of Weston spent the week -end with members of the Fitch family in the community.
