\ Polio Case Improving S80 many people were calling Mrs. Harvey Cooper to find out how her son Gary was that she 'phoned The Oshawa Times fo tell them. Gary Cooper, T% Avenue street, Oshawa, went into Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital on Sept. 8 with a suspected case of polio. He did have polio and today wears a brace on his paralyzed right leg. Mrs. , herself, went into hospital 13 days after her son, stayed for three weeks and was released with no apparent Hl- effects. Gary receives physical therapy twice a week at the hospital and a special teacher comes to his home, also twice each week. He is not allowed to stay on 8 | his feet too long at one time. He has some trouble on stairs, his mother reports, but he does pretty well on level ground. "I hope he will be able to go back to school at the beginning of next year," said Mrs. Cooper. "The length of time he wears the brace is unknown. It is too early to tell how he will respond to these treatments," ' Gary may have to go back into the hospital sometime within the next nine months to two years for an operation on his right foot. Gary has two sisters, Gail, nine and Linda Lee, 5%, and a bro- ther, Wayne, four. Mrs. Cooper expressed her thanks to the doctors, nurses, friends and neighbors, "who have been so helpful."

A. Searle, provincial poppy fund chairman, speaking at the annual Remem- brance Dinner, held by the Osh- awa branch of the Canadian Le- gion, Saturday night, said: "We in the Legion have the great task of helping people to remember." Mr. Searle enlisted in Decem- ber, 1915, with the 124th battalion. He went to France in October, 1916, to the 18th Battaltion. He was in France before his 18th birthday and celebrated his 18th and 20th birthdays in the lines. N. H. Hircock, Jr., local poppy committee chairman, introducing Mr. Searle, said his service "out the service" is equal te his service "in the service." TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED Mr. Searle said the Canadian people are taking their privileges and blessings too much for grant. ed. "We only have a free Can- ada because of the supreme sac- rifice made by the men in the wars," he said. "Does anyone stop to think what it would be like if we had lost?" "I suggest we have an obliga- tion to those who gave their lives for a free Canada," he said. "We know they wanted to live and enjoy life. The average age of those" who died, was 21," Mr. Searle pointed out. "If they could speak, they would say, 'When you go home, tell them of us, and say: for your tomorrow, we gave our today." Mr, Searle commended the local poppy comrnittee on its suc- cess this year. The committee broke all records from previous years, TOAST TO OSHAWA Michael * Starr, minister of labor, toasted the city of Osh- awa, at the dinner. He said Osh- awa is the type of city he likes to live in. "It has good people in it. It is a city of churches, with good educational facilities, eivie pride and co-operation," he said. Mayor Lyman A. Gifford an- swered the toast and remarked how much Mr. Starr had done to make Oshawa what it is today. Mayor Lyman A. Gifford said his only criticism was of Osh- awa's lack of civic pride. How- ever he said the Canadian Legion set a good example of city pride at last Wednesday's remem. brance day celebration. "It was the finest turnout in a long time," he said. T. D. Thomas, MLA, respond- ing to the introduction of head table guests, said we should not only remember those who sacri- ficed their lives, on Nov. 11, but should remember them every day of the year, For the second consecutive , the Oshawa Little Theatre and Women's Arts AsSociation's gift for the benefit of drama, which . is given in commemora- tion of the late Mrs. Walter Cor 's work in this field.

Taking into considera- tion the hours of hard work, any- one who has worked on a set will confirm the fact that a great deal of pleasure is derived from Ing seeing the finished product fiulfill its purpose and Jim Kraemer is one who certainly will. Jim who designed the set for "White Sheep of the Family," is present- ly preparing it for next week's production. His effectively de- signed settings for last season's plays did much to enhance these presentations. Another group who enjoy work- ing on the set are, Des. Bailey, Kevin McManus and Gary Beau. chemin, These active members are doing the actual construction of the set which involves more times than not, many tricky problems, Des. has worked on the set many times before, be- sides acting as a co-director for "The Brute" and playing the part of the minister in "When We Are Married. Kevin has been seen as Melling, the police con- stable in "High Ground" and as one of the priests in "Murder In The Cathedral." Although Gary is new to the Little Theatre, he certainly can gain a wealth of experience from Des. and Kevin. Curtain time for all this sea- son's productions is 8:30 p.m. sharp, and admittance will be re- fused those who arrive after this time, until the first act is over.

She related several incidents from the school years that always get talked about when former 'Speaker Praises School Spirit Central students get together. She mentioned many of the tradi tions developed by the school. "I think the school motto, 'ad metam", which means 'to the goal', is very fitting", Miss Gunn said. "Our studies are combined with our extra-curricular activi- ties to make us more mature people," she said. y Miss Gunn quoted from an ar- ticles she read recently: 'Look out to what you would like to be- come--at what you would like to be--and work toward it steadily". She said: "Central, and more important, the type of teachers we have here, have played a large part in helping us find our goals. But now it is up to us to work toward our goals, on our own."
