| WHITB Y And DISTRICT Whitby Bureau Office: 111 Dundas St. West Tel. 668-3703 Manager: John Gavit More than two generations of Whitbyites have had. the advantage of coming under the tutelage of Miss Cather- ine Burwash, the utive but fiery English and History teacher at Henry Street High Former Students Acclaim Miss Catherine Burwash will soon be gone from "Room One", but she has left her legacy to education in Whitby. She was the focal point of a mass tribute at Henry Street High School Saturday night, as hundreds of her former and present. History and English students paid homage to her on her imminent retirement from the profession, Her professional career cov- ers a span of 39 years, 33 of those in Whitby, all at Henry Street (Whitby and District). Some of her 'original' stu- dents were present to laud their tutor, including Mayor Warren Mowat, whose three children are now being taught by Miss Burwash. Enthroned in a velvet-covered chair, she received verbal acco- jades from her principal, Omer Eégley, the High School Board, and the Mayor, as well as from het former charges. Telegrams letters were received from as far away as Australia. In recognition of her service and dedication, she was pre- gented with a cultured-pearl necklace, and a diamond-and- pearl ring, In her name a schol- arship fund was established to mete out $200 each year to a Henry student with highest com- bined marks in History and English in Upper School (Grade 13) departmental examinations. Mrs. Robert Burns, a Henry teacher who co-ordinated the evening announced that, as of Saturday, $1550 had been do- nated by former pupils into this fund, which will be called "The Catherine Burwash Scholar- ship". "It's the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me," said a damp-eyed Miss Burwash, commenting on the evening. "T am gladdened to my deep heart's core." A musical bouquet by School's Folk-Song Club sum- moned the throng. It was a twist on the "Twelve Days of Christmas" number with refer- ences to Miss Burwash substi- tuted, é the School (Whitby and District High to many). Some 300 of them paid tribute to her at Henry Saturday night on the eve of her retirement after 30 years in the profession. Surrounding an enthroned DEDICATION Miss Burwash are, back row, left to right: Mrs. Marjorie McIntyre, Art Robertson of the Whitby High School Board, Mrs. John Newton, Mrs. V. W. Evans, Mrs. Murray Fal- laise, Mrs. John Spratt, Mrs. Robert Burns, who co-ordin- ated the evening, Henry Prin- cipal Omer Edgeley, and Mayor Warren Mowat.

The win was the third in four games for the Brooklin team and snapped a two-game, undefeated string by the Liftlock City crew who were playing their first game of the season on the road. They won their two home starts, including a 15-13 win over Brooklin in Peterbor- ough-on Friday night. Glen Lotton led the goal scor- ing attack for the Brooklin team with three goals and a pair of assists, Ken Lotton, Ken Crawford, Ken Ruttan and Don Craggs all netted a pair while Elmer Tran, Grant Heffernan and big Bob Hanna chipped in with aces. For the visitors it was Cy Coombes, a former Brooklin player and now playing coach of the Erns with two. Sin- gles went to Richard Anthony, Jim Veilneff, Larry Ferguson, Bob Stickle, Terry Downer and Tiny Hunt. Brooklin opened up fast on Saturday night as Lotton scored at the 1.40 mark to set the fans buzzing, However the Erns kept fighting back. A parade of penal- ties followed with four players going to the sin bin in the space and Miss Merle McConnell. o fless than two minutes. Feel- Teacher Miss Burwash came to Henry Street High in 1028, atfer a three-year teaching stint in God- erich. She left once, from 1942 to 1945 to teach at Earl Haig Collegiate in Toronto. Born in Lachute, P.Q.C, she received her elementary educa- tion there. Her high - school years were spent at Whitby's Ontario Ladies' College. From here she went to Victoria Col- lege at the University of Toron- to, and after graduation in His- tory and English, to the Ontario College of Education for her teaching certificate. While at Henry she has taught both of her college majors, andj served as a guidance counsel- lor, : Omer Edgiley, Henry principal for the last two years, and a col- league of Miss Burwash for the past 11, said: "Never have I known a teacher who was held in such esteem".

Ander- son suggested, by letter to Town Council, that only native- born, or full Canadian citizens should have any truck or trade in our flag issue, he touched off a mild rebuttal from Welsh- born Councillor Tommy Edwards. (But this was indeed mild compared with a letter written to me by Mrs, Grace Thomas, a British-born Canadian. (The account of Mr. Ander- son's Jetter appeared in the May 22 issue of the Times. The let- ter itself was carried verbatim. The following is Mrs. Thomas' reply.): Dear Sir: I have never writ- ten to a newspaper before but I am stung into action by read- ing Mr. George Anderson's let- ter to Council as printed in your "Whitby and District" portion of today's 'Oshawa Times." My family is from England and we are not as yet Cana- dian citizens, but I would like to tell Mr. Anderson and a lot of other Canadians that we did not come to this country to "enjoy a full bread basket." We always had that in England despite the years of war and years of rationing afterwards. In fact, an English war bride who came to this country in 1945 ate dry bread for the first time in her life. There was no margarine at that time and butter was rationed, so when that was gone there was noth- ing. I find that many Cana- dians have peculiar ideas as to how people in other countries live. They seem to think this is the only place where you can get a square meal and modern appliances. Of course, these same people have never travel- CLUB CALENDAR MONDAY, JUNE 1 Co-Op Credit Union banking night St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Explorers 1st Whitby Scouts Salvation Army Brownies Whitby Baptist Church Explorers TUESDAY, JUNE 2 Whitby Duplicate Bridge Club : Red Cross workroom Salvation Army Whitby St. John the Evangelist CWL St. Mark's United Church Women's general meeting WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 St. Andrew's Presbyterian .

The ones who have know better or should. Many of them sent food parcels dur- ing the war and I am sure they were gratefully received, but we were not starving, we were rationed, The war is over and nowadays working class people can enjoy what the Canadians do, especially if, like here, many of the wives go out to work, They eat meat too! Many older Canadians can remember what it was like in Canada be- fore prosperity and before the great influx of immigrants -- sounded pretty grim to me and it isn't so far back! One of the reasons why my family left England for this country is because England is overflowing with people emi- grating there that it doesn't need, This country is big, is still growing and it does need its immigrants, and I think it is time that Canadians realized this fact. What would happen to this country if every person who is not a true Canadian (in Mr. Anderson's view) got up and left. I am very sure there would be a lot of blank spaces in Government, Councils, etc., and many organizations where the work is unpaid and volu- tary. Does Mr. Aderson real- ize that we work for our money and that we pay our taxes? agree there is a better stan- dard of living in this country in many respects, not all, but it seems that most people have more than a nodding acquain- tance with a finance company to do it and even maintain it. Mr. Aderson says he fought in two major wars. I presume he must have travelled to do it, but he didn't learn much when he has such narrow and dians I have met who knew something of the life of ordi- nary working class men and women in England were servicemen. Other Canadians from nothing to a plenty -- neither is the case. We came for more space, bet- ter climate, and more oppor- tunities because it is a com- paratively new country. We haven't had anything handed to us on a plate, we have worked for it, and we are willing to work towatds making Canada a better country than it is at present -- I would say it needs it, We live and work here and English National Lashes At Anderson's 'Politics would like to take a pride in this country, The recent furor over the intended "Police State' law gave us some heart, all Canadians are apathetic. This country 'is big and has many resources, and should be proud of the fact. Many Cana- dians could do-with having as 'much pride in this country as many immigrants do! I wonder, Sir, if you will print this letter, or is this a privilege just for natural borm Canadians. Two of my children qualify but are not old enough to write. Yours very truly, MRS. GRACE THOMAS.

Downer capitalized on some poor clear- ing around the Brooklin net as he cut in all alone to beat Baker to knot the count at the 5.11 mark. Coombes put the visitors out front just 17 seconds later as he caught the top right-hand corner of the net. This one ap- peared to help settle the Brook- lin team down and they started to concentrate more on the game. Ken Lotton, on a fine ef- fort at 7.58 kotted the count and Crawford followed less than a minute later to make it 3-2 for the home side. Glen Lotton got his second tally of the per- iod and Heffernan also bagged an ace to make it 5-2 heading inte the second 20 minutes of ac- tion, The second period was a real fan pleaser: Lots of goals, plen- ty of good, fast running, some bone rattling, clean checks be- ing handed out. The fans ap- peared to be cheering for both teams at this stage of the game. Perhaps they were mixed up in teams as no less than eight of the Peterborough players wore Brooklin livery over the past two season. When the smoke had all cleared away and the buzzer sounded for the end of the second period, Brooklin had rattled the twine seven times cage, while the best the visitors could do was pump four, by the agile Baker in the mesh for Brooklin. The Petes came out flying in the third period and scored their seventh goal of the game at the -11 mark and followed with an- other at the 3.28 mark. A slight hush fell over the Brooklin fans at this stage as they were afraid that the fleet - footed Peterborough team might just be going to catch fire and tie the old ball game up. Brooklin players had different ideas how- ever and they fought back tooth and nail. Crawford, the "old red head', got his second goal of the night at 9.31 on a pass from Heffernan and this appeared to ease the tension somewhat. These ever - dangerous Lotton brothers combined for the next goal and a pretty one it was. Ken was the sniper on a pass from defending scoring cham- pion Glen, This completed the scoring and sent the fans home happy and waiting for the next: game, JUST TALKING . . , This was thus far for the Brooklin team and is a tribute to the fine show- ing that the team havé been put- ting on. . . They were really running in Saturday night's game, especially in the final 45 minutes of play. The fans like this brand of lacrosse and will come out in bi gnumbers to support it. ., Grant Heffernan, who was home for the weekend was once again to the fore, for Brooklin, getting a goal and four assists, thus bringing his total to eight points in the two weekend games... . Glen Lotton added to his growing total with five points for the bath night ... . Brooklin have a long hike ahead of them to- morrow night as they go to Huntsville to tangle with the Hawks . . . This will be the first meeting of these two clubs sincé away back "in the old days" of intermediate lacrosse. . .. The Hawks have been slow MISSIONARY Reverend Paul Hawkes, a missionary in Kenya, will speak at Whitby Pentecostal Church Tuesday night at 8 p.m. He is on furlough from the Evangelistic Center in Nairobi, where he has been stationed for the past three years, getting started since they have had to do a complete building job. However it is understood that they have a full roster sign- ed now and expect to be ready and waiting for the Morton- managed team, This Saturday night it will be those Port Credit Sailors who invade the confines of the Brooklin arena (remember them from last he sure hope our players 0).
