Brock St. in downtown Uxbridge will have a completely different look in 1978 if president Harold Black and the other 35 members of the Development Association have their way. They want $32,000 grant from the federal Local Initiatives Program to pay for much of the week and to complete a master plan. In the meantime, they expect to start the rejuvenation in the next few months with such projects as setting out trees in concrete pots and taking down ugly signs.

I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
