Original Toronto Star caption: Leo Smith saw his first bluebird nest eight years ago and is now actively campaigning to help the rare bird make a come-back. He has distributed 445 nesting boxes across the continent to entice the birds but admits there is little chance of finding any in Metro. The last Toronto sighting; Smith believes; was in 1930.

      A dream come true for former Scarborough insurance man Frederick Carlisle is his three-hulled Caravel II. He bought it 5 years ago for $25,000 and has cruised more than 20,000 miles with his daughters Nora, 11 (left) and Mary, 13, (right) and his wife. During the five-year getaway on the world's oceans the girls managed to pick up six years' credits on their correspondence courses. The Carlisles are thinking of crossing the Atlantic Ocean a second time next year.
