Mr. Coutts' motion was approved by delegates Clergymen Off To The Movies Local clergymen will have an afternoon at the movies tomor row when they attend a special preview of the National Film Board production 'Nobody Waved Goodbye." The film will be shown at the McLaughlin Public Library and will be followed by a discus-| sion of the relevancy of the film's message in Oshawa The show revolves around the actions of a teen-age boy who can't seem to 2g through to! his parents, school teachers or girl-friend. He becomes a high drop-out and from there drifts into petty crime and auto theft Laughter and anger, Some members of city coun- cil indulged in both last night during a council-in-committee meeting The laughter, early in the evening, was prompted by ref- erences to amusing incidents during conventions in years gone by. Ald. Christine Thomas told of the "pyjama affair' -- how Mayor Lyman Gifford at one convention couldn't open his suitcase because his pyjamas were caught in the zipper. And the mayor added that at one point Ald. Thomas was kneel- ing on the floor trying to un- jam the suitcase zipper.
