THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, July 3, 1965 JO'S JOURNAL Race Track last Saturday afternoon, Queen's Plate Day, and the focal point was the Queen Mother herself. can describe the scene but the air of fervent expectancy and excitement had to be experienced to be believed; the deafening roar of the crowd as the horses flew down the straight to the finishing line, the jockeys crouched over their out-stretched necks, then a sudden silence, cut by the incisive tones of the announcer with the Official results. Quickly and deftly a red carpet was unrolled over the track. A contingent of the Governor-General's Horse Guards in dark blue uniforms, flashing helmets and red plumes, manoevred their sleek mounts into orderly ranks and presently, escorted by her host, Mr. E. P. Taylor, and Mr. G. C. Hendrie, president of the Jockey Club and other grey-toppered dignitaries, a gracious figure in pale robin's egg blue chiffon, stepped neatly across to the infield, -- the Queen Mother herself, and how the crowd cheered. A Vision Of Delight Hre blue shoes fairly winked at the red carpet and by her smiles and waves Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother conveyed the impression that she had never enjoyed herself so much before. Perhaps this is the secret of her charm. She enters into everything she does with complete naturalness and enjoyment. She presented the purse of fifty guineas Ahe gift of Her Majesty the Queen, to the owner of tho winner "Whist- ling Sea', and a gold plate to both the jockey and the trainer. A gold cup and other mementoes were pre- sented; the Horse Guards Band struck up "The Spirit of Pageantry" and with a word here and there to those around her the Queen Mother slowly and smilingly made her way back to th waiting landau, drawn by four chest- nut horses and flanked by red-coated out-riders. The Horse Guards presented arms with drawn. swords, a flash of silver fire in the sunlight, and as if drawn by an invisible thread, the cavalcade trotted down the race- track and into the distance. Tumultuous cheers and shouts of "God Bless You Mother" filled the air until the equipage melted into the horizon and all that was left was the Union Jack rippling from the mast where she had passed. It was a great Day and most educational to the uniniti- ated. I placed my modest bets on all the wrong horses. The names, numbers and stars on the program meant absolutely nothing. Bystanders tried to be helpful. One "turf type' assured me a certain jockey was bound to win and another keen student of Racing Form told me that the same jockey would be alright if he had the right horse under him. One way or another, it didn't matter once my "mad money" was gone, It was gone but it was all well worth it, Dirty Old Hog-town According to program notes by Jim Coleman, Toronto, with an official population of 44,425, was struggling rather raffishly through the transition from a frontier settlement to urban respectability when the first running of the Queen's Plate took place at the Carleton Track on Wednes- day, June 27, 1860. The pound sterling was still the medium of exchange and despite the meagre population harassed officials of Her Majesty's government estimated that that area con- tained between six and seven hundred grog shops and taverns. As a concession to the inevitable, the construc- tion of Toronto's first lunatic asylum had been authorized at a total cost including the land, of 56,574 pounds, 13 shill- ing and 11 pence. Thuggery was not uncommon and even a duly elected member of Her Majesty's Legislative Assembly for Up- per Canada, John Sheridan Hogan, was the victim of mur- der most foul as he walked across the Don River Bridge on the night of December 1, 1859. His body wasn't found for 16 months and then a quaking female informer revealed that she had seen Mr. Hogan ROSES AND GIFTS were presented to Miss Evelyn Found at the dinner in her Associates of the female staff of the Civic Administration Building and close friends gath- ered in the banquet room of the Civic Auditorium on Tues- day for a dinner honoring Miss Evelyn Found, deputy city clerk, who retired at the end of June, Mrs. Audrey Hepburn §ar- ranged the dinner, catered and served by the Ladies' Auxiliary of Glenholm School and was assisted in the program that followed by her sister, Mrs. Ferne Buechler. On arrival the guest of honor was presented with a mauve- throated, white orchid; during the evening she received a large quet of Flaming roses and as grand finale was presented with a portable type- writer and a set of matched marcasite jewellery. Seated at the head table with the guest of honor were her sister, Miss Aileen Found, Mrs. Lyman Gifford, Mrs. George Ansley, Mrs. Marie Mills, Mrs. J. P. Mangan and Mrs. J. A. Aldwinckle. Alderman Alice Reardon said) grace and proposed the toast to the Queen. Mrs. Hepburn intro- duced the head table guests and Mrs. Gifford read a candid biog- raphy of the guest of honor from an illustrated scrapbook. As each intriguing chapter unfolded it was brought to life by the entry of the characters mentioned. Under the gisguises were Mrs. Phyllis Cruess, Miss Bess Fellows, Miss Marcia Fair, Miss Elaine Cole, Miss Cheryl Barker, Miss Heather McBain, Mrs. Kay Murray, Miss Sharon Williams, Miss Judy Holbrook, Mrs. Isla Jeffs and: Miss Claire} Mitchell. i t Miss Evelyn Found Is Honored At Retirement Dinner Party honor on Tuesday. She is seen between Mrs. Ferne Buechler, left, who made the presentation, and Mrs. Introduced during the read- ing were five former members of the City Clerk's office who had worked under Miss Found's guidance in earlier days. -- They were Mrs, Bruce Hayes, then' Miss Eleanor Sargeant; Mrs. Edward Davies (Miss Doris Crowe); Mrs. Bud Bragg (Miss Evelyn Chessel); Mrs. Orest Krawchuk (Miss Alice Lazar) and Mrs. Norman Brad- ley, formerly Miss Rose Barnett. Among the moving tributes paid to Miss Found was a let- ter from Mr. John Hare, whose father, the late Mr. Fred Hare, had engaged Miss Found at the outset of her career and with whom she worked for 31 years. As well as working under many different mayors and councils over the years, Miss Found has also been secre- tary of the Oshawa Police Com- mission since 1939. While per- forming her duties in this re- gard, she has also worked along- side various judges, magistrates and police chiefs. Many of these dignitaries as well as family and friends were caricatured in pantothime, The reading closed with affectionate good wishes and a "God Bless." Alderman Christine Thomas thanked all those who had par- ticipated in the arrangements and the program and added her own reminiscences as a former) mayor and best wishes for the future. Among those who were unable to attend were Miss Grace Sharp, Miss Bessie Farewell, Mrs. Orpha Goyne, Mrs. Wanda Ruddy and Mrs. Evelyn Bate- man. | attacked by three men and a woman.

No less a personage than His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was accorded the discourtesies of the day when he visited Toronto, September 7, 1860.

' | For Kissin' Couples |ceived many messages of good|-- Oshawa's Heart, Her People Had a chance last Monday to give Oshawa a boost over the TV waves. This was in connection with the Dominion Day Folk Festival and I hope I was able to con- vey in the short interview, that it is the citizens of 'Osh- awa that make the Festival a reality. This was substantiated on Thursday by the beautiful and original floats in the parade, all created by Oshawa people, and the hundreds of little baton twirlers, strutting up the long hill to the park, deserved a cheer. It was a grand parade and I couldn't understand why the side- walk spectators stood for the most part with their arms folded. I have been told that Oshawa has a poor public image. "Nothing but doctors and dinner-pails," said one man to me once sitting beside me on a plane over mid-Atlantic. If anything can dispel this false impression, the Folk Festival can. We have a wealth of culture, of the high- est caliore, here and Oshawa is blazing a trail that many communities would like to follow. Mr. Leon Kossar, chairman of the Canadian Arts Coun- cil of the Centennial Commission, Ottawa, was in the audience, full of enthusiasm and is coming to town later this month to find out how we do it. I would like to salute all those who took part with a special ceremonial "How" to our Indian friends who gave us a "brave" show. No Canadian Folk Festival could be complete without them. This is their own, their native land and their participation was all-important to us. On th eve of all that excitement was a delightful din- ner party in honor of Miss Evelyn Found, retiring deputy city clerk. Mrs. Audrey Hepburn, a colleague at City Hall and her co-workers had planned the dinner and pro- gram that followed to the utmost detail and it was an un- qualified success. ; Mrs. Lyman Gifford read a prepared biography of the guest of honor and each episode was depicted by living characters. Easily recognizable was a farmer in plaid shirt, coveralls and a chain of office and another bald- headed gentleman with a fat cigar. It was all good fun and enjoyed most of all by the central figure herself, which is a good way to launch into a new chapter.

I don't know whether all summer schools are like this one, but I have never run into a creepier bunch of kids. There is one couple who claim they are engaged. The girl is 16 and the boy is 17. They kiss each other good-bye when the bell rings and they have to go to different classes. When they meet for lunch they kiss hello. All this goes on in the main hall right in front of everybody. We were discussing these two they were sickening. Several girls said they thought it was all right for them to kiss. be- cause they are engaged. What do you say?--Voting Thumbs Down Dear Voting: I say there's a time and a place for affection. School is not the place, and be- tween classes is not the time. \The fact that this couple is en- gaged does not make kissing in public acceptable.
