Jo's JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times It was a glorious May morning last Sunday when the Ontario Regiment paraded to service in St. George's Church, leaving their arms under guard on Bagot street, then drawing up in formation on Athol street, outside the City Hall for the ceremony of receiving he Freedom of the City. It was a fine parade and everything went "by num- bers". After the speeches and presentations the flags were unsheathed; silver and gold glinted in the sun. The band struck wp the regimental march "D'Ye Ken John Peel...' and the files marched around several blocks before turning on to Simcoe street south and heading back to the Armouries, You couldn't have asked for a better show but where were the eager crowds? Only a scattering of people were on hand, more around the City Hall than elsewhere, and 1 had thought that the sidewalks would have been packed, "This was a bit of living history. With the merging of our armed forces, ceremonies such as last Sunday's will disappear. Few of us will ever have the opportunity to witness such a happening again. Certainly not in Oshawa, and 1 think more mothers and fathers should have taken their children and told them what it was all about, Does it matter? Of course it matters, These are the oxce-in-a-lifetime events that make life interesting and give us something to talk about and remember. Some years ago, before the advent of television, an elderly man said to me "Isn't it a pity that in this wonderful age of communication by radio, people have so littleto talk about?" We discussed the art of conversation, good conversa- tion, not idle chatter, and decided it had been lost from lack of practice. The necessity for entertainment was no longer there and because they didn't have to find some- thing to talk about, people were no longer observing; see- ing, perhaps, but not registering 1 can imagine that ninety years from' now some little old lady, and it won't be me, will recall the time when people actually went to live perfprmances and didn't watch everything on electronic screens. She'll be able to tell her listeners how good it was to feel the sun and breeze and living excitement, She pill, no doubt, be computerized at once. Well, anyway, there should have been more observers on Sunday and I was disappointed that the mayor didn't wear his chain of office. If 'Phil' over there in Toronto can, so can "we. I wasn't looking for anything as Gil- bertian as a scarlet robe or tricorne hat, but that chain is a symbol of authority which only the mayor has. Sound Of Revelry By Night Last night we whirled away the hours atthe Ontario Regiment's Centennial Ball. The traditional ceremony of "Rating the Leek" by the most junior subalierns was once again a merry feature of the evening. This all stems from the fact that the Ontario Regiment is affiliated with the Welsh Regiment and the leek (it's an outsize onion, if you've never seen one) is the ancient emblem of Wales. 'Tis said that in one of their border skirmishes with the English, when neither side wore any kind of uniform, the leader of the Welshmen commanded his followers each to fasten a leek on his cap for identifi- cation, Of course, then the English knew who the Welsh were but at least the Welsh didn't "have at' each other. So, the leek became the symbol and' any newcomer to the Welsh Regiment must prove himself by eating the leek This year's leek-eaters (since it's a social evening and any member of the onion family is not exactly a social vegetable, these junior officers escape with a polite nibble) prere Lieutenant Gerard Doran, 2nd Lieutenant Ernest Stoakley, 2nd Lieutenant David T, Lewis, 2nd Lieutenant Donald Hide, 2nd Lieutenant T. James Dudley and Lieu- tenant Edward Kunkel, Something very interesting is going on this weekend in North Oshawa Community Centre, Nonquon road. In- stigated by Mr. Bruce Holdsworth, assistant director of the Oshawa Recreation Committee, a two-day course in life drawing is being conducted by Mr. Alex Miller AOCA, Art Is All Around Us Mr. Miller is represented in many art galleries and his course covering basic drawing in general anatomy of the human figure, conture drawing and extended drawing in form, will be the first of a series in life drawing classes conducted by the ORC and the Community Programs Division of the Ontario Department of Education. Mrs, Miller will accompany her husband as a model Another first for Oshawa; another shot-in-the-arm for art. You don't know anything about it? You can get along without it? Don't be silly. All life is rhythm, shape and color and the artists and musicians capture it for us and interpret it as they see and feel it It is an art to grow flowers and I've heard many com- plimentary and grateful comments on the flower beds at Hillsdale Manor, abloom mith spring flowers, donated and planted by the Oshawa Horticultural Society, This kindness and know-how is providing a visual treat to residents and visitors alike When Mr. Tom Healey of the Ontario Centennial Speakers' Bureau addressed the Rotary Club earlier this month, he had something to say about flowers. He was speaking on civic beautification and what every citizen can and must do for next year's new look He spoke of street floral displays and flowers in park- ing lots and the landscaping of municipal properties. Well, I tip my old straw hat to our Parks Board for the planting and upkeep of the parks and the beds around City Hall and at the war memorial. They couldn't be more attractive, Cleanliness Begets Beauty Before we start on a beautification program we must have a clean-up crusade. We are 88 per cent home owners, therefore there must be a concentration of community pride in our appearance. The clean-up must reach into the backyard of every citizen. Let's clear out all the clutter i then call for urgent local action for the removal of 1 billboards and signs on buildings and other eyesores. While this is going on everyone of us can be an anti-litter watchdog. I don't think Oshawa is any worse than any other comparable Ontario city, but our main streets present a shocking picture of littered sidewalks. Next year visitors from other countries will be swarm- ing all over Canada. Many of them will come to Oshawa. fome may merely pass through. What will be their im pression? They will be observing us, our surroundings and behavior and I would like them to remember Oshawa for its cleanliness and courtesy. And here's another point. Any one of us who has con- tact with the general public, over a counter or a desk, waiting on table or operating a switchboard, has a vital part to play, By our attitude, we shall be judged, I'm sorry to say we have many offenders, Our largest cor- poration is not blameless in this regard 1 have travelled abroad and can afford comparisons, Please' and "Thank-you" are common courtesies sadly lacking here and how often do you get a smile?
