Once the first few visits to our friends in Cottage 12 had been made, our group of six Couples found we needed to work more closely together and discuss what we were trying to do. We realized the importance of a common objective and also that we could participate in several more activities if our evenings were planned. At our first meeting we dis- d several approaches and Slearings, Graziano Karcich, Ralph Bartodziej; Ronnie Bartodziej and Richard Roz- nik engage in a game of table hockey in the games room, --Oshawa Times Photo drew up a general program. Games were an obvious must, both outdoor games while the weather held and indoor games for late fall and winter. We set up a rough time table so that we would be able to include as many types of activity as possible, When we first go in we have informal visiting and general conversation and offer candies or cigarets in the easy way one Announce Honor List At Central Collegiate In the recent fall examina- tions held at the Oshawa Cen- tral Collegiate, the following students headed their respective grades: Grade 9 -- Lydia Skochko, 90.1 per cent.

Below zero wea- ther, hampering both the birds and the observers, resulted in a low duck count. Two hawk-owls in the area were the rarest finds this year.

A start with the changeover will be made Monday, Jan. 7, when stop signs will be re- moved from Athol street east at Celina street, making Athol street a through street over Celina street. A stop sign will be erected on Albert street north of Athol street. At the present time Albert street is a through street over Athol street and in order to avoid confusion and, at the worst, accidents, this intersec- tion will have a three-way stop for a two - week familiarization period. After that time stop signs will be removed from Athol street, completing the change. Albert street is restricted to southbound traffic while Celina street is restricted to north- bound traffic. City Engineer Fred E.

Active games are set up for those who have surplus energy and a de- sire to biff a ping pong ball on the ping pong table which has been provided by the hospital. Skittles and group ball games appeal to a larger number of men that we had expected. Then we regroup for the Rhythm Band, maybe have a little dancing and finish with a singseng. After each evening a record is made to show us which activity was most en- joyed, which men have partici- pated and which we still have not reached. PROUD OF BAND We are justly proud of our Rhythm Band. We have' pro- gressed from no participation to much participation 'and uncon- trolled noise, enjoyment and re- lease of tension. From there we have moved to grouping into in- struments, control by a conduc- tor and listening for beats on good basic rhythm records. We have progressed to starting and stopping at the right time which Rotary To Honor Civic Leaders A large group of civic digni- taries, officials and board mem- bers will be guests next Mon- day when the Rotary Club of Oshawa holds its annual Civic Day Luncheon in Hotel Genosha. *| The speaker will be. Hon. J. W. Spooner, Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs. He will be introduced by Rotarian Leo- nard Glover. Rotarian Sydney T. Hopkins will propose the vote of thanks. Among those attending the luncheon will be Mayor Lyman A. Gifford and members of the 1963-64 city council, the heads of civic departments, the chair- men and members of various civic boards and commissions. A_ number of former mayors of Oshawa have been invited to sit at the head table. Among them will be Herbert P. Schell, 1925; His Honor Judge Alex C. Hall, 1937; John A. Coleman, 1939; A. Gordon Davis, of Tren- ton, 1944; His DR. S. L. BOEHMER To Address CBMC Group HON. J. W. SPOONER and Crown Attorney W. Bruée Affleck. * Group Gives Service To Community From time to time residents of Oshawa have heard of Com- munity Incorporated but gen- erally speaking it is an organ- ization in the community whose activities are not often reported in the mewspaper. However, throughout the past few years it has served a very useful pur- pose in bringing together once a month members of the various recreational, health and welfare agencies in the city to facilitate co-operation and understanding. Originally the group was com- prised of members of the var- ious Community Chest Agencies only and until now they have remained as the only full mem- bers. But, over the years other agencies: not in receipt of Com- munity Chest funds, have join- ed the group as associate mem- bers. During the past few months Community Incorporated has been taking a serious look at itself and as a result it has re- vised its constitution and changed its name to '"'Commun- ity Services Association". Under this new constitution member- ship is open to any member of the board of directors or the staff of any agency in the com- munity providing health, recre- ational or welfare services. Its aims are to be concerned with the general social welfare and future social planning of the community. The group meets at lunch at the YWCA on the second Wednesday of each month and through these meet- ings its members share experi- ences, exchange information and learn what each is doing so that all may have a fuller under- ee of other services avail- able. in itself shows how the men are beginning to concentrate on something which is giving them pleasure and interest. We have progressed to the realiza- tion that each instrument, like each person: has its own voice, and. sometimes likes to speak alone. All this has introduced an interesting impersonal con- trol, a type of control which the men responded to willingly and with pleasure. We have begun a few basic folk dances and expect to pro- gress to square dancing. It was this activity which made us aware of the musical talents of one of our men, and he and his mouth organ have been in much demand ever since. WASTE NO TIME Our table games, checkers, chess, snakes and ladders, and euchre were another immediate hit. Now card tables are all set out when we arrive so that no time may be lost. We have found a few bridge players and poker fans and an unbeatable chess player. We have taken books and magazines of all kinds and find that Readers' Digest issues are much enjoyed as well as books on games, travel and construc- tion. Some love to bowl and play the active competitive game. It is good to see the pleasure come back into their faces as the healing of the games spirit works and en- livens. Because there are a large number of men in our cottage, our group of volunteers has found it most helpful to intro- duce each other to the men we each get to know well. No vol- unteer wears any distinguishing badge. We have all special in- terests and we have found men with interests similar to our own. All kinds of conversation go on,from bridge building to farm- ing, from war to peace, gar- dening to cooking. These con- versation periods have served to make us more interested in our new friends and to increase our pleasurable anticipation of each visit. Friday night be- comes a firm. date.

This cottage, which up to last April was closed, is now pleas- ed to welcome us at any time we can drop by, whether it is oru regular night or not. Many of the men spontaneously greet- ed us on New Year's Day, as cordially and as naturally as one would expect one's friends to. It is this increase in natural movement and awareness of things going on around them that shows the great success of "Couples Visiting'.
