THE SMOOTH ACTION of a play on stage is backed by a lot of hard work and planning, the students Anderson Street High School have discovered. The school's drama _ society is Drama § To Present Play WHITBY (Staff)--The Drama Society of Anderson High School will be staging Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" in the school auditorium ronight and Saturday night. The cast includes several of the actors and actresses who performed in the successful staging of "The Diary of Anne Frank" presented on the school stage last year. The Wilder play concerns the eycle of life in a small town in New England during the early part of this century, The action centres around two families in the town. The families of the local doc- tor and newspaper editor are portrayed as they carry on life in a small town. The role of Dr. Frank Gibbs is played by Gary Curl, and the role of his wife Julia is filled by Mary Daciuk. Bruce Craigie and Marlene George act as their children George and Rebecca. John Atkinson plays the part of the newspaper editor and his wife, Myrtle, is played by Roberta Lockyer. Carol MacKenzie and Grant Gas War In Whitby WHITBY (Staff)--A 'war' is raging in Whitby. A gasoline price war, that pleases the mo- torist, and discourages the deal- er. a presenting Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" in the school auditorium tonight and _to- morrow night. Many hours of rehearsal and work on stage props and costumes' have been put into the pro- ociety Roberts act as their children Emily and Wally. BEAUTY OF LIFE Emily Webb's growing up, her marriage to George Gibbs, and her death provide Mr. Wilder with the means to bring his character to a realization of the importance and beauty of life itself. The stage manager, played by Peter Neve, is a village philoso- pher who comments on, and in- terprets the action of the play. He makes plausible a non- realistic, almost expressionistic presentation. A presentation through which Mr. Wilder hoped to express the spiritual values in the harmony and rhythm of life outside the naturalistic theatre. duction, From left to right: Brenda Tizzard, 14; Carol MacKenzie, 18 and Bonnie Douglas, 19, are concerned with the eternal female problem of what to wear-- this time on the stage. A great deal of handy-work on the part of the students has created a cast and a set of stage props that could be described as excellent. --Oshawa Times Photo Past Grands Take Lodge Meeting WHITBY -- Past Grands were in charge of Benevolent Re- bekah Lodge's meeting of Feb. 17.

It's made with special English hops and toasted barley-malt. Hence its deep amber colour and its robust taste (malty and rich, with a definite "bite" to it). Also you'll notice Toby's smoothness: It has less gas than Canadian beer, Toby beer is sold under the Carling listing --and at your favourite "pub" --at regular prices. Have a Toby.
