JOS JOURNAL Women's Editor of The Times May Day, and not a leaf on the trees! In olden times May 1 was a day set apart for much merriment; the crowning of the Queen of the May, dancing and sporting on village greens and linking arms and singing "Here We Come Gathering Nuts in May" which never did make sense but was a jolly romp, anyway, With "Mods" and "Rockers" hurling brickbats around, any May Queen might get a different crowning in Merry England, these days, so I don't think there are many candidates, My father was born on the first of May and contended that that made him the King of the May. In our home there was no argument, Even without a May Queen, the month is full of social engagements. My calendar is filled with dances, concerts, luncheons, bazaars, teas, receptions and open houses. White Gloves and Decorations One of the highlights is the Regimental Ball, next Friday in the Armouries, given by the Ontario Regiment. The Honorary Colonel R. §. McLaughlin and the Com- manding Officer, Lt. Colonel W. C. Paynter will receive | and lead the grand march which is usually followed by the Leek Eating Ceremony. The Grand March, an old' Victorian custom, will be performed this year by members of the regiment, their ladies and other officers who have been invited. The Leek Eating Ceremony dates back to medieval times when Welsh soldiers used to eat the leek before going into battle in the belief that it gave them extra strength. (1 thought it was sailors who sang "Blow the Man Down .. ."'), In the time of Henry VIII Welsh troops wore the leek as a mark of identification. The two officers who will perform the ceremony this year are the two newest lieutenants in the regiment, Lt. Patrick Dooley and Lt, Helmut Paddags. The next night the Polish Veterans' Association and the Polonia Club are holding a monster Polka Party in the Civic Auditorium, with reserved seats and two name bands. The Ukrainian Women's Association is preparing for its annual spring frolic, this year an Italian Pizza Festa in St. John's Hall, May 15, and the Club Loreley is holding a reception and banquet to mark its 10th anni- versary. Ambitious Plans This social event will afford invited guests an oppor- tunity to see the new members' lounge, which is the first completed part of future plans for expanding and beauti- fying the clubhouse and its surroundings. The club has acquired a new entrance and foyer. Opening from this is the new lounge, panelled in walnut with a beamed ceiling and inlaid, hardwood floor. A built- in, cosy corner is upholstered in tangerine to match the bar and the draperies are in soft' green and gold to com- pliment the brown and cream of the walls. The whole effect is warm, friendly and inviting. A member of the executive, Mr. Ulrich Strahl, supervised the building and the secretary, Mrs. Walter. Schneider, was responsible for the soft furnishings. May is opening on a musical note, too. The Scar- borough Light Opera Company, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa, is presenting the last of three perform- ances of Cyrano de Bergerac tonight in McLaughlin Col- legiate. On Tuesday the Oshawa Symphony Orchestra is giving # concert in the UAW Hall and featuring the Gen- eral Motors' Male Chorus and on Wednesday, the Cana- dian Concert Association will present Margaret Rowan, soprano, for whom great things are predicted. The Mirror of Fashion Meanwhile the Oshawa Little Theatre has been play- ing to appreciative audiences in the Mclaughlin Library auditorium. The play, "Fashion", written more than a hundred years ago, pokes sly fun at the would be social- climbers and title-seekers of the day and contemporary parallels are easily established, Harry Chapman has di- rected a capable cast in the tricky business of '"'asides" to draw the audience into the play and has garnished the confection with songs; duets and dances in a romantic setting. The caricatures were good and the cast played together with confidence, Bouquets are ordered for Maureen Langridge, Judith Edmondson, Eileen Chapman, Jim Sabyan, Avi Rosen and Karl Kappes and a bouton- niere to George Spelvin for character acting. with "Oh, yes, but wait until next January." I must say that I think it's a great pity when cultural treats like the Little Theatre and the Scarborough Light Opera are presented on the same nights, especially during the NHL play-offs. With a little foresight and enquiry these situations might be avoided to the benefit of all con- cerned. How? Just ask me. ' Much talk, this week, over The Budget, not the. family one that suffers from a perpetual list to port, but the national one, as brought down (there's a strange phrase for you ... sounds as though he spends all night in the attic or up in the belfry, working on it) by Finance Min- ister Gordon. For all that our deductions will be a little less after July 1 I have heard very little enthusiasm and after all, money talks. Most comments have wound up with 'Oh, yes, but wait until next January." Of course, there are always the mathematical types who wax enthusiastic with pencil and paper. I haven't got that far. Having been brought up on vulgar fractions and pounds, shillings and pence, I'm a little leary of per- centages, except the very easy ones and have never com- pletely embraced the decimal system. | am a disciple of the late Sir Winston Churchill who said he 'never knew what to do with the d----d dot'. Even Shakespeare said "out, out d---d spot' so I don't feel too badly about it, although at one time I felt that 1 wasn't getting properly acclimatized. Dizzy Disaster With the upsurge of spring and the beckoning of the broad highway, I suppose we can anticipate an epidemic of stolen automobiles and police chases at death-defying speeds. In the case of youthful adventurers, I wonder if giving chase is the psychological thing to do. It would seem likely that once the miscreants realized that 'they were being followed they would speed up from sheer panic or bravado, risking not only their own lives but endangering others. Once they have been reported, might it not be smarter if the police, through their communica- tions systems, headed them off or trapped them instead of chasing them? I'm sure the "boys in blue" are not looking to me for advice but somebody has to ask the silly questions ; Lovely to think of the long, summer evenings stretch- ing ahead, but, oh these bright spring mornings ...
