Eyes... right! Not lacking for admirers, Fred Lewis, 55, is all spit and polish in World War I cavalry sergeant's uniform as he marches on Saturday in the Royal Canadian Legion's walkathon to raise $25,000 for the Metro Toronto Legion Lodge. Lewis, who retired in 1971 after 33 years in the army, acquired the uniform during his travels and wore it to publicize Legion's 50th anniversary. Claire (left) and Lori McMahon were comrades-in-arms.

The Garys. Promoters. Ten years along, Gary Cormier and Gary Topp (in photo at right) - a/k/a The Garys - are still flinty pioneers in the high-mortality field of concert promotion. Legendary for their early shows with The Police, including a gig at the Horseshoe Tavern that has swelled to near-mythic status, Cormier and Topp still take chances on great unknowns while hoisting the banner for enduring punks such as Iggy Pop and The Ramones. [Incomplete]

One-Room apartment can be a versatile living space, interior designer Stephen Cohen proved when he decorated his won studio apartment. He designed the sofa-bed with gray flannel upholstery and a white quilted cover. Window shades and the wicker chair are in a tortoise-shell pattern.

Yesterday's rain didn't help matters but Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Boylen came prepared with an umbrella. The ball was great success with new and old friends getting a chance to meet. The club was elaborately decorated for the occasion with 4,000 roses adding a touch of color.
