Fhe Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe 5t, 5, Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Wednesday, February 4,195 Guide To Parking Would Help Driving In Oshawa A great convenience for drivers in Oshawa would be the erection of signs indicating where parking is available, With the opaning of the excellent lot on Athol street just west of Simcoe there Is now a fair amount of parking area available to drivers who have business to do in the*'downtown" com- mercial section of the city, For those who sre not well acquainted with the business section, however, the trick is to find the parking lots, The erection of signs to guide mo~ torists to the lots should not be an ex~ pensive item, end the cost would probs ably be quickly repain in added parke ing revenue, Buch signs sre familisr to anyone who has driven in the large cities, They are easily noticed and eas= fly followed, The signe would be an ohvious help to anyone driving inte Oshawa from another eommunity, And judging from complaints about lack of downtown parking space, they would also help many people who live in the city itself, Some of the comple'nenis seem to think of parking only in terms of curb space, and when questioned they often have only vague notions shout off-street parking, Proper signs would instruet and guide these people--~and, reduce their complaints, Keeping Amateur Actors We hope Richard MacDonald, nation al director of the Dominion Dramas Festival, was misquoted when he was reported as telling Saskatchewan festis val officials that the standard of drama in Canada "must inevitably be lowered by the draining of artistic talent in pro= fessional fields," It is becoming increas» ingly difficult, he said, to keep an ama« teur more than rn couple of years bes fore he is offered a professional cone tract, As it stands, his statement does not seem to make sense, Mr, MacDonald is much closer to the amateur theatre in Catada than we are, He must know the difficulties under which amateur drama groups operate, Even so, if what he says is true, the state of mind of the amateurs must be very odd indeed, A 'person takes part In amateur pro- ductions for one of two inain reasons; for the personal satisfaction of being part of live theatre and of bringing that theatre to audiences otherwise cut off from it, or for the trairing it provides for possible future employment, The person who likes amateur thea~ tricals for themselves will surely not be discouraged by the raids of the pros fessionals, The person who wants to become a professional will surely be encouraged by the growth of demand for professional talent, We would have thought that the burgeoning of profess gional theatre could not help but be sccompanied by a flowering of the amas teur theatre In fact, the live theatre has not had any substantial growth in Cédnada in recent years, If anything, it den clined, On the other hand, the develops ment of television provided more jobs for actors, directors, stage hands and so on ~~ but not to the extent that ft has denuded the amateur groups of its bright young people, We must cons clude then that Mr, MacDonald was either misquoted or was talking for the headlines, has has Smrke And U.S. Security The ways of some immigration authe orities are wonderful and beyond hu~ man understanding, And nowhere are they more spectacularly incomprehensis ble than in North America, on both siaes of the thousands of miles of un« guarded border =~ unguarded, that ls, by 'all except immigration authorities and thelr somewhat less implausible cousins, the customs men, Immigration authorities have about them a sort of auras of screwball divin. ity, There war the case a few years ago, for instance, whey the Canadian officials decided an Australian woman was not mp fit person to gningle with pure Canadian society because she had left her husband -- legally, and In Aus« tralla, Now comes the case of Lou Smrke, a hockey player on the Belle ville team that has gone te Europe to represent Canada In the world tourna= ment, Smrke was not allowed to ac» company the team to New York, from which point it departed for Europe, on the grounds, apparent], that he had Obstructing One of the things worrying the edi« tor of the St. _Marys Journal-Argus in connection with the coming visit of Queen 'Elizabeth and Prince Philip fs the stuffed shirt brigade, Commenting on it, the Journal Ars gus hopes that "the planned visit of the Queen and Prince Philip te Canada next summer coes not produce the same rush of would-be social higshats to clutter up the views of the Royal processions, as were noticeable when Princess Margaret was in this country a few months back."
