The opening night was a dream come true for the committee which has worked for months to form the club, a committee form- ed of high school students, CRA workers, and members of Cana- dian Jazz Associates. Decorated in the motif of a mediaeval castle, the main au- ditorium of the CRA building on Gibb- street was converted into a candle-lit club, with neat tables set -around the floor. Part of tire floor was set aside for dancing, immediately in front of the stage. On stage was the Bud Hill quintet, a Toronto jazz group, which played good jazz to an al- most capacity crowd. Although the club was formed primarily to give teenagers an opportunity to hear good live jazz music, many of the custo- mers were long past their teens, but appeared to enjoy the show Chest Queen Will Tour Downtown Miss Cathy Puskas will be the first Miss Red Feather to appear in public on behalf of the Great- er Oshawa Community Chest, Carl Olsen, chairman of the can- vass on downtown merchants, said this morning. At 9 am. Thursday Miss Red Feather will lead the blitz on downtown merchants riding in an open car provided by General Motors of Canada Limited with James Skinner, president of the Chest. They will be preceded by a sound truck and will tour the eh- tire downtown area.

The committee was well pleas- ed with the first night of the jazz club, their only concern for future meetings being that the hall may be too small. The next meeting of the club will be next Monday night. The club will continue to meet on Monday nights, starting at 8 p.m. Name School After Massey Canada's former governor-gen- eral, has agreed to let the nw public school on Harmony road north be flamed after him, it was learned at Monday night's Board of Education meeting. The board had originally want- ed thé school to be named after Princess Margaret, but after hav- ing their request shunted from Mr, Massey to Lieutenant-Gover- nor J. K. Mackay, to External Affairs Minister 'Green the board learned this would not be allowed. The board then asked Mr. Massey for permission to name the school after him. Board chairman S. G. Saywell said that he learned from Mr. Massey's son, Lionel, that his father was ill and would not be able to attend the opening in per- son. The school's official opening is scheduled for Nov. 10. Mr. Saywell asked if Lionel Massey could attend in his father's place but he replied he would rather not. It was finally arranged that A. R. Duffin, the representative of the Ontario department of edu- cation for this area, would be a guest speaker at the opening ceremonies. Trustee M, Brown remarked)! that Mr. Duffin was against the board building this type of school in the first place and that he considered it "poetic justice" that he should be chosen to of- ficiate at™ its opéiiing. Chairman Saywell said Mr. Massey had sent the board a pic- ture cf himself by a "famous Montreal photographer who charges $200 a picture" |pitch," he said. would be hung in the school. a others, 39 per cent of the| {$175,350 objective had been {reached.

Oshawa's 51 industries had all been canvassed, E. G. Storie, in charge of industry canvassing, said. A letter had been sent to each asking for support and already 19 per cent of the sum raised by the whole group last year had been received in cheques and pledges. Carl Olsen, in charge of the blitz on downtown Oshawa, said all downtown merchants had re- ceived letters and pledge cards. Service club members have vol- unteered to help open his cam- paign in downtown Oshawa Thursday, he said.

If an employee was sick or on lay off the deductions would not accumulate, he said. 15 CENTS A WEEK Ed. Cline, representing labor, agreed. He said 15 cents a week over a year would not make or break anybody. In the last thrée weeks, Mr. Cline said he had 'been subject to all kinds of questions about the Chest in different labor bodies, and had found the answer in every case. To canvassers he had this to say: "I am as close to you as the telephone if there are any questions that you ean't answer." Closing remarks to the evening were made by Very Rev. Dean Dwyer. The canvassers were going out to do 'Christian and Godlike work," he said.

"In my opinion this is the only way we can hope to approach our objective," Ald. Branch said. Ald, Branch congratulated Miss for 1959 and the winners of the public speaking contest, Victoria Dove and Susan Huehnergard.

The Oshawa Little Theatre opened its membership campaign for the 1959-60 season this month in anticipation of a larger mem- bership than last year. Member- ship cards are in the hands of the sellers and if anyone wish- ing a membership has not been contacted as yet, one can be se- cured from any active member or by telephoning Dolores Victor at RA 5-3043. New members are always welcome, whether they wish to be actively engaged in the productions or only wish to attend the group's plays for the year. The Little Theatre is looking forward to another season as pleasing to the members and local audiences as was last year's. Many will remember the group's excellent porduction of T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Ca- thedral," which was the final presentation of the 1958-59 season and which incidentally drew the Theatres history. IN ORONO FESTIVAL During the summer, a number of active members worked on Chekhov's play, "The Brute" which they presented at the Orono One-Act Play Festival in September. Those who partici- pated in this production found it extremely interesting to work on a Russian play. When the re- sults of the festival were an- (nounced, Janet Steph of largest audiences in the Little Little Theatre Seeks Members and veteran members of the Little Theatre are rehearsing L. Du Garde Peach's and lan Hay's sophisticated comedy, 'White Sheep of the Family." Harriet Rapley, with the assistance of. Dolores Victor, is directing this play, which will be presented at the McLaughlin Library Theatre on Nov. 18 19. 20 and 21 at 8.30 p.m, sharp. CHANGE CURTAIN TIME Due to the numerous com- plaints received from last year's audiences, the Little Theatre di- rectors decided fo change the curtain time of this season's pres- entations to 8.30 p.m. sharp and not to admit anyone after this [time until after the first act. In the past it has been possible to admit late - comers, who could be accommodated in the rear of the theatre and then seat them in their proper locations after the first act. However, because of the larger audiences attending the plays, this arrangement has be- come increasingly impossible. There are no longer any seats available at the rear of the audi- torium and many late-comers are forced to stand in the door and hallway. This difficult situation coupled with the noise of the loose chairs disturbs those members of the audience who have taken the trouble to be on time.
