McLeod Rogers" has been ordered to the Upper Lakes, to break ships loose which have been,ice-hound in harbours by late . -winter conditions. __ Early reports on 'ice conditions,' based on ' aerial surveys,.indicatedthat there was a great deal of open water on the Great Lakes, but investigation on the spot. by borings with ice augers and with early operations. _ of icebreakers, indicated . that strongwinds from 70 to 80 'miles an hour during the winter had piled win-drowed ice into restricted areas. The prevailing westerly \ inds windrowed the ice *at Port Colborne, in the eastern ,end of Lake Erie; at Goderich,,, in • Lake Huron: at Owen Sound and . Midland in Georgian Bay:at Cove Island and Flowerpot Island, at the entrance to Georgian Bay: and at Whitefish Bay, above Sault Ste. Marie. The smaller icebreakers operated 'by the- ' Ministry of Transport, the "Griffon" frorn Prescott and the :'Alexander Henry" from ',Parry Sound. managed to -break through these windrows in late March. with the two ships working in conjunction, with each other. During the past two weeks. however. -freezing c,0ridj.tilcrn �...aJ ay..e....�. _44 .t.in ed consolidating the ice in the tracks where these smaller ships 'clave passed, and freezing over the entire Georgian Bay,. The —Norman McLeod Rogers" is working then way up from Quebec, and will be in Sarnia - on April 13. The ship Will be under the direction of the Parry Sound N Marine Agency, Headquarters for Marine Services from Sarnia to Saskatchewan, while she is on the Upper Lakes. The '"Rogers" is 290 feet in length, with a draft of 19 feet, and abeam of 60 feet, She ordinarily operates at 12,000 HP, but she is unique among all the'icebreakers in the world because of the fact she is fitted with gas turbine engines, which maybe used in the heavy going of ice breaking, to develop a total of -16.000,11P. The ship is thus eminently suited for the task of icebreaking on the Upper Lakes.'The ship.will break out Goderich, Owen Sound, Collingwood, Midland. and Port McNicoll, after which she ;will proceed to the Lakehead to assist the "Alexander - Henry;' in breaking 'out ,the Thunder Bay, Harbour.. The "Alexander Henry" has already broken out most of the harbour at the Lakehead. and commercial ships are expected to operate -there with the departure of the "D.C.Everest ' either today or tomorrow, and with the arriyal of the grain carrier_ . "Frank A. Sherman" of the Upper Lakes and St. Lawrence Fleet on April 14, across Canada. Processing is comprised of four separate stages: evaluation. analysis, pre -selection and final approval. -The number of projects is reduc-ed during each stage of processing. During initial. revaluation, Objects are exartiihed to ensure that they meet` basic criteria' of -4 • the program.. Each project must take place in the period between . May lS and September 15; must allocate up to $90 weekly to post - ow to select when its- time to redecorate , - The average woftian—seized with decorating fever and thinking about buying a couch—may 'brood 'about its, upholstery and agonize over three or four fabrics. But' there's one woman who looks at thousands.of upholstery fabrics ,every year and loves it, She's. LoisScoville. stylist for a,major. furniture company -which - manufactures convertible sofas. As Mrs. Scoville describes it; , her job is to screen the entire ketevery yearand shop for a wide variety of samples to suit all tastes and "situations." (The fabrics she gathers ,range from tweeds to jacquard pattern's . to prints.) - "I have to choose those," she. says: "which will please the eye and still'hold up under the wear- and=tear of daily living." The stylist also works closely with her,. c'ompany's furniture designers "to make sure the right fabric goes on the right piece of furniture.;" •• A key aspect of Mrs. Scoville's job is anticipating trends in home furnishing colors and styles. When collecting fabric sathples, she must keep in mind only what's anticipated for next year, 'but geographical- difference in t4 to as well. The customer's preference, Mrs. Scoville has learned, is determined to a large extent by the region in which she lives, According to the stylist, the east coast is ``cosmopolitan and sophisticated" in its tastes, the west coast is characterized by an "easier, more casual way of life,': and the central .United States favours more "traditional and unsophisticated" styling. However, big cities throughout the country do 'sharesimilar tastes,•she .adds, , Lois Scoville, who. was born and raised, near .Chicago, acknowledges- '.that her•. midwestern origins have affected 'her own personal tastes. , • • I do like, traditional furniture,': she declares, .--'aitirougir I like ttt—cliee - colors too." A simple way, 'tointroduce brightness into the home, she points out, is by selecting carpets and drapes in an "adjustable neutral shade," then'adding color' accents through more expendable items such. as pillows. wall* hangings, etc. "-Since these are relatively inexpensive,,' she 'notes. -"you', can always change ' them frorr'r time to time." According to Mrs. Scoville, her 'company's hide ,a -bed sofa not ''only reflects current coast-to- coast trends -in decorating, but tends to embody today's. life styles and bridge the generation gap as Well. "Young people in their first apartment," she comments, "are useally cramped for space and need a couch that will double as a bed.': As for mature ,couples, "they often move to smaller quarters when -their chilren leave home and need extra sleeping space When those children come back to visit. - Baby's first -years. important to teeth When your baby is born, deep in his jawbotaes are the 20 primary teeth which began to form early in pie -natal life. At birth the crowns of the primary teeth are almost t oinpletely formed. Shortly before 'birth the enamel of the first permanent (six year) molars . have begun to form. The* central incisors in the front:ofthe mouth are the first to erupt.. IThually this ,occurs when the baby. is from six to. eight i months Of age. The lower teeth usitally'erupt, before the correspdiidirig teeth tri the upper jaw.

They continue to grow throught childhood and into addllescence,m Good,— nourishing food is necessary for this growth and development. The breast milk of a mother who is following a proper diet is the t1eSt baby food available: Because a baby's• jaws like other parts of his body, develop through use, solid food should be. given to him as early as the p'hyan suggests.

In addition, basic criteria exclude profit-making or political ventures, projects organized by any government agency, purely academic projects, and projects organized solely, fqr the recreation sof their participants. The second stage of processing consists of a detailed analysis of projects. Each. project is given a score according to how. many of twenty positive criteria it meets. The criteria are grouped under four different headings: youth -involvement, comrnunity'benefit,' feasability and innovation. At 'the third stage of, processing, remaining .projects ' are grouped according to region= and are studied by a committee of senior Opportunities for Youth staff and other represntatiVes of the L par•tnlent of the Secretary of Stater For each region, consideration is given to factors -such as the total number of jobs created, the cost per job, and the age aiid sex of participants.
