2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 17, 1959 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN ELEANOR KRATZ' UNIQUE GRADE 13 RECORD Would it not be appropriate for the city to honor Eleanor Kratz, the 17-year-old OCVI grad? The city has honored the Whitby Dunlops and Figure Skater Don Jackson (to name two). So how about some recognition for one of the city's all-time, top scholars? Surely, there is noth- ing more important than education and such rece ognition could do much to impress younger stu- dents. Eleanor has established some kind of Upper School scholastic record and even the Ontario Department of Education can't pinpoint it. . For one thing, she was the only student in One tario to write 15 exam papers in Grade 13 last June. For another, the mental strain didn't stop her from obtaining 13 first class honors and two second class. : 3 G. J. Westwood, assis- y Xu tant registrar of the ODE, FLEANOR ERATZ was unable today to say if Eleanor's record was beaten, or equalled, last June. He did say this: "Miss Kratz has a real good set of marks, one of the best I've ever seen and her record is an unusual one. It is most uncommon for a student to have 13 firsts. However, I notice there was a Harold Copp of Toronto who got 19 firsts in 1932." ; She also earned standing in music from the Royal Conservatory, equivalent to Grade 13 in music, She had twice as many credits as is necessary for a Sec- ondary School Honor Graduation diploma, She was awarded the McBrady Scholarship by = St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. She has entered the honor course in modern languages at St. Michael's. Eleanor is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Kratz of 338 Division street. Both parents were born in Hungary and have resided here 32 years. The father it a tool and die maker at GM. Phyllis, Eleanor's sis- ter, teaches at Holy Cross, How did Eleanor rack up such an impressive array of firsts? She doesn't talk much about it, but her sister tags it down to two things -- hard work and a love for school. Says Phyllis: "My sister thinks nothing of doing four and five hours of homework nightly. She also studies long hours on the week-end. She loves hard work." Eleanor is undecided about a career, but she may teach, The study of Russian is taking up much of her time now. She also takes French, German, Philosophy, English and Religious Instruction. She received the Board of Education award for dis tinctive achievement. ROAD TO STARDOM IS NOT EASY Oshawa's Taylor Twins can vouch for one thing-- the road to stardom in show business is well studded with hard work. The boys were on the Joan Fairfax television show for little more than three minutes November 8th, but a back-breaking rehearsal preceded this appearance. The twins started to rehearse Sunday at 8 am, and continued through until curtain time at 7:30 p.m. with only two breaks--an hour for lunch and one for dinner. This was their second appearance of the Fall season on the Fairfax show and they scored handily with their "Shining Your Shoes" number, one of their current mainstays in their appearances on the U.S, and Canad- ' {an night club circuit. WAR PICTURES GIVEN TO REGIMENT The late Robert Cottle made a special request of his wife before he died in Toronto in 1956--he asked her to turn over his collection of Second World War Army photographs to the Ontario Regiment Association, of ' which he was a member. Mrs. Cottle was in Oshawa last November 10th (with her daughter and son-in-law) at the monthly meeting of the Oshawa branch of the ORA to make the presenta- tion. Her husband was a corporal overseas with the regiment and two minutes silence was observed during the meeting to his memory. He wanted the pictures brought back to Oshawa for display purposes by the ORA at the Armories. VETS' CARS TAGGED DURING PARADE The following letter was in the Monday morning mail-bag: ; Dear Mr. Gearin: "I know you are in favor of a square deal for all. "On Wed, November 11th. at approximately 10:30 a.m., members of Unit 42, The Canadian Corps Association, mustered at their club rooms (30 Rich- mond street west) to parade to the Cenotaph to place a wreath and pay thei respects to fallen comrades of two world wars. "After the service, we returned to our club rooms and spent a little time talking over old times. When we returned to our parked cars on Richmond street west, some of us had parking tickets. My tic- ket was marked 10:55 a.m. "It is not a question of paying a $1 fine, but here, 1 think, there's a principle involved. It states on the meter that there is no charge on holidays for parking and, as all city employees had a holiday Wednesday, November 11th, I had no right to have a ticket on my car. "1 also think that it is small town stuff to sénd an officer out to tag cars in front of a veterans' building while the veterans are paying their respects to their fallen comrades." Yours truly, Harold Oley. 763 Ritson road south. REGIMENTAL BAND NEEDS SUPPORT The Canadian Club of Ontario County will have a distinguished speaker next Thursday night in St. Greg- ory's Auditorium. He is Ken MacTaggart, leading Can- adian newspaperman who will speak on the subject: "My Impressions of Khruschev." He recently covered Khruschev's U.S. tour. Mr. MacTaggart once worked on a Toronto daily with Ernest Hemingway, the famous novelist, and is a veteran Canadian newspaper- man . . . . . Music lovers should rally to the support of the Band of the Ontario Regiment in their forth- coming 'Pop concerts. The frst is to be held Dec. 4th, in the OCVI Auditorium at 8:30 p.m, The others will follow Jan, 8th, and Feb. 19th. Admission for the total of three concerts will be $1. This low rate is possible because bansmen contribute their services free and thus make a worthy contribution to the culture life of the community.

She also reminds us that Young Canada's Book Week is dedicated to the mission of making good books better known to all Young Canadians, and to their elders. All across Canada libraries will be having book displays and spe- clal events to arouse interest in good books for boys and girls, to encourage the reading of wothwhile books, to make ad- ults aware of the fine children's books available and to remind adults of the imoprtant place good books have in a child's life.

Now the implication Is that Mr. Sauve feels Quebec is ready to be weaned slowly from a steady diet of political sentiment and fed healthy doses of reason. As far as provincial politics arc m concerned, the inevitable conclu: sion is that Mr. Sauve does not feel either he or his party needs red-hot Ottawa-Quebec situations to win an election.

It may, in fact, be the most ticklish of the lot. Hammarskjold often has tackled toughies. But in earlier interventions his ac- tions were authorized by the UN security council or the assembly, or else he had the backing of and both the United States and the Soviet Union. In confirming expectations that he would station a representative in Laos, Hammarskjold appears to have gone against the wishes of Russia as expressed bv Soviet Ambassador Arkady Sobolev just before the UN York. Diplonfats note that the pre- vious secretary-general, Trygve Lie, resigned because he feared that the Soviet opposition to his role in the Korean intervention *srmined his effectiveness and ade it unwise for him to try viaiinue in the job.
