Original Toronto Star caption: He's Got Menace on his mind. Toronto welterweight Donny Poole has only had one fight in the past 2 1/2 years and he's itching to get back in the ring. I know my best fights are still ahead of me, he says. I never fought any of the big names. I know I can beat these guys.

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.
