Water Follies Show Fine Entertainment The 1953 edition of Sam Snyder's Water Follies was given before a laughing and heartily applauding audience in Oshawa Arena last night. It was a wonderful show, For two and a half hours there was a steady and progressively interesting succession of aquatic and stage acts, sparked by the witty introductions of MC Danny Dillon, and accompanied by the Bernard Tierney band conducted by William Cianci, music director, with unflagging pace and sparkle. The limber rhythms of that spry acrobatic duo, Ray Romaine and Claire were followed by ancther talented couple, lyric soprano Bonnie Parcell and tenor Harry Carlyle, who, even when the micro- phone failed, showed voices of operatic calibre in their presenta- tion of winsome musical comedy favorites. A dancing delight in the second half of the program were the Stanfords particularly in their interpretation of Kreisler's '"Cap- rice Viennois." Of the aquatic stars, especia] mention must be given to Mary and Frances Dwight whose ornamental figures deserv- edly won them a role in the latest Esther Williams picture, ENCHANTING PATTERNS The dancing troupe of hula maids appeared twice in the pro- gram, scoring decisively with the Hawaiian War chant, when the lights were extinguished and phos- phorescent costumes and batons made enchanting color patterns. Costume and choreography credits go to Canadian designer Elizabeth Owen and Buster Keim. The aquaballerinas, who per- formed a delightful '"Moods in Technicolor' under black light in the 75-foot pool, plunging and ca- vorting like so many rainbowed mermaids, also paraded in fetch- ing bathing suit styles ranging over the last century; little Miss 1925 with her prancing Charleston getting a round of applause, and whistles greeting the suit of the future, which makes the Bikini version obsolete. Roger Nadeau received popular acclaim for hig really informative display of swimming strokes as developed down through the years, and brought yelps of mirth with his comedy strokes, particularly the "Oshawa Creek breast stroke' and his educated whales. He team- ed with the Dwight Sisters for a smooth ornamental routine, One of the most talented and in- ventive clowns in show business was seen in Eddie Rose, who got hearty boffs while teaming with MC - impersonator Eddie Dillon (Crosby, Ray et al) and really brought the house down with his heart - stopping antics on the high board. His "Off we go -- hinto the wah-tah!"' seems to have become a byword, judging from unusual tribute of Oshawa smallfry want- ing to get in on the act. Six of the world's finest profes- sional divers gave a thrilling dis- play of their art last night, bring- ing salvoes of applause. They were Norma Pean. Bob Maxwell, Roger Nadeau, Emile Hotte of Montreal, Stanley Dudak and Charley Aitken, and the intricacy and perfection of form they displayed was un- marred even by the intrusive gird- er which obliged them to duck their heads as they stepped out on- to the twin high boards. The five men, along with the incomparable Rose, also went through a boister- ous exhibition of clown dives. They really 'kept the kettle bpiling". One of the most striking acts of the evening was that provided by that handsome and muscular pair, Ed and Vince Massive, whose hand-balancing routine was truly Superiative; Timing their move- m to the music with studied ed, as few are able, the meaning of the phrase, 'the poetry of motion'. ; Lion president Stan. Turner and chairman of the Follies Committee Sam Payne besought the support of Oshawa and district people for the remainder of the Follies engage- ment, (There are matinee and evening performances, at 2 and 8.30 p.m. today) and reminded the audience that the Lions Club pro- fits would be devoted to the Sight Conservation Program and other worthy community projects. Display booths set up by wari- ous local firms were scattered about the floor; the Lionettes had a booth where they were selling chances on a $100 bond, and the Oshawa Sea Cadets had a smartly organized display, staffed by mem- bers in uniform. It was pleasant to 'see a number from the Humoresque Club (Osh- awa Association of the Blind) among the audience, accompanied by host Lions and Lionettes, and heartily enjoying the show. The regular meeting of Lebanon Lodge, AF and AM, No. 139, GRC in the Masonic Temple last night was marked by the official visit of Right Wor. George A. Finney, Dis- trict Deputy Grand Master of the Masonic District. A highlight of the evening was the large attendance of the Leban- on Lodge 25-Year Club members under the direction and chairman- ship of Wor. Bro. Gordon Houlden. The 25-Year Club members were warmly received by Wor. Bro. W. H. Gibbie, Master of Lebanon Lodge, who during his remarks, Fg a warm tribute to the services rendered over the years and la emphasis on the particular services rendered to the Lodge by Wor. Bro. Houlden. A feature of the 25-Year Club reception was the present.tion of a 50 Year Membership Jewel to Bro. Frank Cawker. The presenta- tion was made by Wor. Bro. Harry Suddard. In his address to the assembled members and guests, Right Wor. Bro. Finney outlined the various orders of Masonic fraternity and DD GM Pays Visit To Lebanon Lodge id /{was almost a culmination of his stressed the qualities of Masonery which he said had made its in- fluence felt in orders and associa- tions not even recognized by the governing body of Grand Lodge. He emphasized that the teachings of Masonery were sich that not only were members of the fratern- ity given a code of ethics by which to live, but that citizenship gener- ally was. better off because of the istence of these many "centuries EY principles. e honored guest was present- ed by Wor. Bro. Harold O. Flintoff. Since his official visit to Lebanon term of activity, Bro. the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, District Chaplin, on behalf of the assembled, paid a tribute to Rt. Wor. Bro. Finney personally and to his work in the district for the term now drawing to a close. A toast to the visitors was pro- posed by Right Wor. Bro. Gordon Bunker, There were visitors nres- ent from Peterborough, Belleville, Newcastle, Port Hope, Brooklin, Whitby, and Oshawa. Interest In Labor Parade Declines As the strength of labor in Osh- awa augments, interest in Labor Day parades and celebrations de- crease, night Oshawa ,and District Labor Council members could reach no decision on what to do by way of observances next Labor Day. The matter was refer- | red to the Locals for ideas, to be broached again at the June meet- Opinions varied. Some delegates thought that since it is a holiday, no particular activities should be Planned, Sometimes the weather is hot or too wet for a parade. In 1943, the days of more en- thusiasm, less gasoline and poor tires, the annual affair went off with a 'bang', Since then the re- verberation has been less each |vear until last year there were {scarcely enough paraders to carry nonchalance, these athletes realiz-|- OSHAWA THE DAILY TIMES-GAZE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whithy Gezette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 112 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1953 PAGE THREE f Air Cadets Praised For Smart Drilling LABOR COUNCIL HEAD C.

The council will take an adver- tisement in The Times-Gazette Coronation edition and apportion the cost to the affiliates in accord with their size. Membership was renewed in the n Association for Adult Ed- ucation at $10. A. donation of $10 was made to strikers of the Unit- ed Packinghouse Workers (Quaker Oats) at Peterborough and further support will be forthcoming from the individual locals. A letter from the Oshawa Rafl- way Company told the counéil that it would not be practical to take any action on its request to cur- tail movement of shunters in the residential area during certain hours of the night. A long letter from the secretary to Hon. Louis Cecile, explained why government policy is to aban- don the field of rental control. From R. B. Hardy, superinten- the banners.

(CP)--Probably the largest rainbow trout ever caught in Shelter Valley creek was caught by Bill Perry. The fish weighed 62 pounds, and was 28 inches long. Bill caught it with a lowly worm, However, the feeling of the meet- 50 dent of Oshawa Railway Company, came an explanation of why the company will not accede to Labor Council's request to post bus sched- ules at the intersection of King and Simcoe. It stated that a board by 50 inches would be neces- sary to display the timetables pro- perly and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to secure this pro- perly on standards. Permission cannot be obtained to affix it to buildings, he said. Besides: the time tables have not been substan- tially changed for years. Inspec- tors and drivers are glad to sup- ply information about schedules. Finally, the letter submitted that "it is not the practice in other cities to display schedules..." Humor was interjected into the proceedings when a delegate ex- pressed the wish that Oshawa Raii- way should take greater precau- tions to guard its crossings. Mr. Fenwick explained how difficult it has been in the past to get any action on railway protection or traffic lights at crossings. Usually someone has to be killed before proper action is taken. Concluding, Secretary Fenwick offered: 'Would any Brother like to sacrifice him- self for a good cause?" Several requests will be addres- sed to City Council: Asking that trash cans be placed in Memorial Park; Asking for a caution light at the Five Points on Simcoe North; Asking for a guard rail on the sidewalk across the Mill Street bridge; Asking an investigation in. to alleged stagnant sewage in the creek at the Min Street bridge. In response to a letter from the Labor Council regarding the high cost of drugs, Hon. Stuart Garson, minister of Justice wrote, citing the reasons why the government banned resale price maintenance to permit the free play of compe- tition. However, since this change recently came into effect, it may be that the situation in the drug market has not yet resclved itself in favor of lower prices. The Min- ister concluded by asking that any specific abuses on prices be called to the attention of the Combines Investigator. It was reported that the Ontario Malleable laid off 50 employees at RA Ki . ually referred to as Dean of Cana- t 1Wanis dian Composers, made a brief visit - ' Club Meeting "There is a vast difference be- tween being symptom free and truly enjoying good health," de- clared R. O. Muller, Dean of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, guest speaker at the week- ly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, Tuesday, at the Hotel Genosha. : The speaker, whose career in chiropractic field were ably out- lined by his introducer, Kiwanian Harold Brownlee, took as the topic of his address, "Posture and It's Relation to Health" and delivered {an interesting and informative ad-| dress on the subject. The speaker outlined the growth of the chiropractic practice and re- vealed that now, after having long been regarded with indifference, there is a definite interest in the field. "We are interested in the effect of correcting body mechan- ics, and we have been able to es- tablish that in the manipulating of body structure has a direct bearing on general health," he stated. ¢ The effect of malstructure of the body, improper body mechanics in creating strain and tension, result- ing in nervous tension and abnor- mal conditions which lower the re- sistance power of tissue to the at- tacks of many types of disease, were described as the basis on which chiropractic treatment oper-| ates. In conclusion, the guest speaker, with the aid of Kiwanian Harold Brownlee, conducted an interesting experiment, by way of demonstra- tion, to show that the equipment of a qualified chiropractor is used to provide blood pressure and cardiac readings. Kiwanian Ted Witheridge voiced the thanks and appreciation of the members and guests to Mr. Mull- er, Other Kiwanis Club business of the day included a brief report on outstanding accounts of the Ki- wanis Karnival, given by Chair- man Ray Weeks, Kiwanian Jack Fry also appealed for assistance in sending out letters of acknowl- edgement, concerning the club's re- cent radio auction. Call Tenders For Library Announcement has been made by the Oshawa Library Board calling for tenders for the construction of the new McLaughlin Public Library building to be erected on the site enclosed by Centre, Bagot, and Queen Streets and the Canadian Legion Hall. The closing time for tenders is 12 noon on Thursday, June 4 The announcement, which is is- sued in the name of the architect, Arthur H. Eadie, of 220 Bloor Street West, Toronto, states that the building is two floors in height, each floor having an area of 14,500 square feet, .and will be of reinforced concrete and rubble stone. Plans, specification and forms of tender may be secured from the of- fice of the architect given above. FOILS VANDALS WINNIPEG (CP) "Vandal proof" equipment is being placed in city playgrounds, including chain swings that cannot be cut, Charles Barbour, civic director of recrea- tion, said that in previous years there was heavy damage by van- dalism in the early part of the season, WORKERS SCARCE REGINA (CP)--A scarcity of agricultural workers, but not a serious shortage, is predicted for Saskatchewan this year by J.

Bank of Nova Scotia), OSHAWA SATURDAY 9 TO 12:30 ot Oshawa on Monday to try out the newly restored organ at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Court and Barrie Streets. He also conferred with Mrs. G. K. Drynan, Mus. B., organist and choirmaster of that church, about the organ recital he will give on May 20 at the opening and dediction of the new organ, at which ceremony Bishop G. A. Wells and the Rev. E. A. Irwin, the rector will officiate. Dr. Willan was accompanied yes- terday by Victor Giles, foreman of the Organ Department of the T. Eaton Company, who made some final adjustments to the wrks, and by Miss Muriel Mus- sen, secretary of the department. The noted composer and organist drew up most of the specifications for the organ, which was installed by a newly arrived group of Eng-| lish organ builders employed by | Eaton's. ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ORGAN He was enthusiastic about the quality of the new instrument when he tried it out yesterday af- ternoon' and told The Times-Gaz- ette that he had a high regard for the music done in this parish by Mrs. Drynan and her choir. He thought the new organ "ideal for Bach and plainsong." Dr. Willan asked to hear a bit of the Motet composed by Mrs. Drynan on the propers of the| Church for Low Easter Sunday, | and after Mr. Giles and Miss Mus: | sen had sight read part of the] liturgical composition for him, he | warmly recommended that it be ad included in the dedicatory service on May 20. PRESENTED TO QUEEN The great composer, normally rather reticent in the presence of the press, was pesuaded to talk about his recent trip to England, when he was presented to Her Majesty, the Queen. He declared that no picture could possibly do her more than 50 per cent justice, that her charm an radiance far outshone that of any of the Holly- wood personalities. In England, he said, she was fondly referred to as "the Little Queen." MUSIC AT CORONATION Dr. Willan admitted that he had been invited to attend the corona- tion, and sit in the Abbey to hear the performance of the anthem, "0 Lord, Our Governor," which he composed for the occasion. Of the four homage anthems used in the ceremony, three are by Tudor composers of the first Elizabethan age, and the fourth is by this Canadian composer who is recog- nized as a world authority on the Tudor style. Just prior to flying to England on May 28, he will conduct his own choir in a CBC program of Tudor music, and his "Coronation Suite," commissioned by the CBC, will be heard on Coronation Day at 7.30 p.m. He was pleased to hear that Oshawa people had responded gen- erously to the appeal of the Organ Fund, and hoped that the gener- osity would continue, for the new organ was a decided asset to the performance of liturgical music in this city, he thought. He noted with interest the upright organ pipe standing by the door in Holy Trinity Church, with its sign 'For the Organ," used as a receptacle for contributions by interested mu- sic-lovers.

R. Johnston, AFC, of Trexton, at their annual inspection at the Oshawa Airport last night. OFFICERS SMART The cadets were put through thein ® crease and polish, but on the whole paces by Squadron Leader A. Beal, who received admirable support from Squadron Officer L. French; Flight Sergeant Ronald Jackson, of No. 1 Flight and Flight Sergeant Brent Snowden of No. 2 Flight. The salute at the march past was taken by Wing Commander John- ston, who was accompanied from Trenton by Squadron Leader A. J. Ireland and Flying Officer J. A. Morrison. Also at the saluting base was Nick Jenkin, chairman of the Air Cadet Committee of the Osh- awa Rotary Club, which sponsors the local squadron. The inspection was carried out in the presence of quite a number of parents of the cadets as well as members of the seryice club. One .of the highlights of the in- spection was the precision drill pre- sented by a drill squad of 15 cadets under the direction of Flight Serg- eant Snowden. The squad perform- ed its intricate drill, without a single command, in admirable fash- ion and won a well merited round of applause from the audience in front of the hangar. WELL TURNED OUT Addressing the cadets, WC. John- ston commented that the cadets had made a good impression in their drills. A half dozen of the cadets, in particular, were particu- larly well turned out. Some, he sald, could afford a little more the squadron presehted a very smart appearance. It should be nots ed, however, that in any outfit the fellow who looks the smartest us- ually is the smartest. WC. Johnston expressed the thanks of the air force to the spon- soring committee and the officers of the squadron and the instructors for a job well done. Without a good sponsor and. good leadership it was Fok possible to achieve any objec ve. GOOD EDUCATION ESSENTIAL WC. Johnston stressed that with the tremendous development taking place across Canada it is great temptation for boys attending school to give up the pursuit of education and take a job, It was a great temptation to be in the' posi- tion of having money in pocket as it engendered a feeling of independ- ence. He urged the cadets to resist this temptation and continue their studies as Canada today is de- manding leaders with training and organizers. The best means of rising to posis tions of leadership was to stay in school and college and get as much education as possible, unless it was essential for the support of their family. .
