“Mister Rogers in Harlem" - Fred Rogers (right-center),
creator and host of the award-winning children's program,
“Mister Rogers' Neighborhood”, visited Harlem recently for
«ome on-location filming. “Mister Rogers' Neighborhood",
seen on sdme PBS stations and viewed by an estimated
audience of 4 million children daily, seeks to foster the mental
growth and development of the young child. With Rogers is
Francois Clemmons (left-center), whose apartment in New
York and the block on which he lives was the focal point for
the Harlem visit. Clemmons is a regular cast member of
"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", and his “TV” home is a
musical workshop. Normally produced in Pittsburgh in co
operation with WQED, the show made its visit to Harlem to
achieve realism in how inner-city youth learn and grow with
limited recreational facilities and space. The Harlem block is
a designated ‘play street' frequently visited by the New
York Parks Commission Playmobile trucks. Trampolines and
sliding boards are provided and neighborhood youngsters are
also able to engage in such activities as basketball, volleyball,
tetherball and skating without interruption from motorists
passing through the street.

boys are chosen each year
through this method. Music
teachers and choral directors
in every city and school have
referred boys to us over the
years.
This has been our
finest source in discovering
the musically gifted boy.
The choir is interested in
boys between the ages of
eight and twelve, with an
em phasis on the earlier
grades, or the younger boys.
We will first consider a boy's
inherent musical ability, and
then review the results of his
auditions, at which point a
decision is made.
Beyond
this determination of satis
factory music aptitude, and
part of entrance require

and personality. The choir is
an educational non profit (in

students that motivation is

Today's prices seem to be
stirring a revival in the age
old practice of canning and
freezing, so for those who
feel a bit "rusty" or who
have never put up fruits and
vegetables. Portland Com
munity College is offering a
quick course on the subject.
Mrs. Sharon Maasdam, a
professional home economist,
says she will squeeze as
much as she can into a one
evening workshop at Cleve
land High School September
6, at 7:30 p.m. Admission is
50 cents.
"We'll do everything but
pick the produce," Mrs. Maas
dam says.
“We'll prepare
the fruit, go through the
canning procedure, and see
the end result."
Because many persons
have returned to growing
their own gardens, she plans
to ‘touch on pickle making,
becau se th ose w ho h ave gar
dens in this area usually
grow cucumbers."
"People who don't have
gardens often have at least a
tom ato plant som ew here
around the yard," so she ex

too.

one of the most practical
ways of stretching a grocery
dollar, even though the price
of sugar, like most other
grocery items, has practically
doubled recently.
She tries to put up enough
vegetables annually so that
her own family of five can
have each vegetable once a
week for a year. She has
estimated a saving of $20 per

"There's just no doubt about

says. "Even it you didn't,
