With mild temperaturesduring spring break many youngsters
made their way down to the beach for a bit of fun. But this type of
fun could lead to tragedy. Playing on the ice at the beach is
dangerous, especially during this t e of year, and it would be
easy for anyone to slip through. Tough the water may not be
very deep here it is extrexnely cold. Captain Comet urges
youngsters to stay off the ice on the lake, In a short while the
water will be warm enough for swimming. ( photo by Dave

Newfoundland. Michael,
who is 14 in May, loses
both his parents in June.
His grandparents send
him to St. Albert to live
with his aunt and uncle
where he must learn to
deal with a new town, a
new high school, and
friends like loud -mouthed
Kenton. At first he finds,it
difficult to relate to his
cousin Curtis.
Eventually, the
unhappy family situation
causes them to secretly
go on a quest to Michael's
original home, his
younger brother, and his
beloved grandparents.
The realistic story is
emotionally powerful and
the characters sincere
and sympathetic.

bright, young Canadian
author who writes out of a

a people who hold fast to

Frog and the prince
A beautiful princess, an
ingenious frog and an evil
•spell, are the magical
ingredients in The Frog
Prince, a new production
by the Pepi Puppet
Theatre, opening at the
Royal Ontario Museum
Toronto, on April 7.
The puppet show, based
on a tale by the Brothers
Grimm, tells the story of
a handsome prince
doomed to spend his life
as an ugly frog unless he
received a kiss by a
princess. The frog's
amazing transformation
when the evil spell is
broken provides a happy
ending that will delight
all youngsters.
The Frog Prince has
been adapted for the
. ROM puppet stage by
Andrew Taryan, director
of the Pepi Puppet
Theatre, and the puppets
have been designed by
Katya Taryan. Following
each performance,
Taryan holds an informal
discussion on the art of
puppetry.
The Frog Prince will be
performed Saturday,
April 17, 14, 21 and 28 and
May 5 and 12 at 2 and 3:30
p.m.
