Two plays were presented in the recreational hall by The "Theatre Lovers Club," a group made up from patients and directed by Mrs. Z. B. Fitchett, Occupational Therapy Assistant and Robert Laws, attendant. The plays, "How the Great Guest Came," and 'Room for a King," was the product of the Occupational Therapy Depart- ment and was a contrast in time, setting, staging, costumes and treatment of subject mat- ter. Costumes were all fashioned from scrap material in the de- partment workshops.

Local politicians are attempt- ing to air their views by can- vassing the township -- one house at a time. ELECTORS APATHETIC In past years public meetings have been called and the elector given a chance to ask questions. Near empty. meeting halls faced the politicians who came prepared to go under fire from the people who pay the bills, and didn't come to the meet- ing. Brooklin, an area many older persons in which reside, last year when nearly 60 per cent of the voters turned out in the four polling areas. At the other end of the rec- ord only 14.1 per cent of the electorate went to the polls in the area west of Whitby and including the Hamlet of Almonds. Garrard road area residents available to them, and other township areas showed a rec- ord in the low 30 per cent area. Many of those seeking elec- tion complained of the lack of suggest a remedy. John Panonty, seeking elec- tion to the school board said: "There definitely should be public forums, and I know that next year during the Whitby election, the chamber of com- merce for the town will spon- sor them. POPULARITY CONTEST "As it is, it's a popularity contest and people will vote for who is known, rather than the issues. "Unknown candidates are at a great disadvantage because they don't have the chance to see and speak to the elector- ate. "The holding of nominations on Nov. 30, less than two weeks from the election is also a great draw back. "It does not give the candi- date time to organize and run an efficient campaign, and it does not give the voter time to assess all of the candidates. "Nominations should be taken Legion Auxiliary sometime early in November. William Manning, also seek- ing election to the school board, said; "It would be a difficult thing to get people in the town- ship out to a public meeting on education." "I find that discussions in small groups are better and would prefer these over a pub- lic forum. "The polls open on Saturday and I hope that many of the Township residents will come man of their choice."
