He wants money: Dr. Mario Piacenza of the southern Italian town of Altomonte is in Toronto lookin for funds to build a school for peasant children. He's hoping to get it from the parents of the children he's leading here - natives of Alomonte who left their home town for North America. So far, he's visited 7 cities on a 3-month North American tour but has raised only $2,000 of the $20,000 he needs. He's had a picnic with Altomonteans here and plans another one.

He's not overweight but advertising man Ken Borden says that's only because you don't get fat just tasting. Cooking is more than a hobby for him - he's already taken seven different night courses and says these courses aren't work, they're fun.
