      On the right track: Renowed architect Ralph Erskine of Sweden says Toronto's downtown and waterfront areas will undergo an exciting transformation by the year 2001. Where railways now divide city dwellers from the lake. Erskine sees gardens, housing, shops and theatres springing up over the next 20 years - adding new life to the city. But he wants that Metro's highrise suburbs could become ghettos.

      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.
