pres re by & | Le JOS NATURE PROVIDED a tor- rential welcome to the Cana- dian Armed Forces Tattoo and thunder and lightning provided the overture to the volleys and gun-powder flash- es that punctuated the swiftly- paced show. What a show it was! The Civic Auditorium was packed both nights with enthusiastic audiences that clapped in time with the marching feet and frequently broke into cheers. This was a centennial highlight that no one who saw it will forget. The grand peacock of the spectacle was the drum major. Parading with majes- tic bearing before the bands, playing 'all the traditional marches and airs, he epitomized the valor of our hundred years; straightened @ar backbones and filled us with pride. The finale of pipes, drums and massed bands playing Marche Vanier was a triumph. Highlights, for me at least, were the contest between the gun teams of the Chesapeake and the Shannon; the Drum- mer Boy's Dream with the faultless wooden soldiers and mounted officers; the Boer War episode with the "Sol- diers of the Queen' "March- ing to Pretoria'; the Sailors' Hornpipe; the air - crew scramble and the eerie take- off effect of a Spitfire in the dark and the gymnastic dis- play. Congratulations to the pro- ducer - director. He is Major Ian S. Fraser of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regi- ment of Canada). Major Fraser has worked extensive- ly for the CBC as a free-lance writer. He produced and di- rected the Canadian Tattoo featured in 1962 at the Seattle World's Fair and wrote the script for Tattoo '67. ALSO IN LINE for con- gratulations is Harry Chap- man and his cast of 'Tea House of the August Moon", presented by Oshawa Little Theatre. The largest audience to date, some two thousand, were entertained by the de- lightfully gentle satire during its four-night run. Watching the play I felt that those re- sponsible had done their homework thoroughly. The set and lighting by Eric Lloyd was atmospheric, oriental and timeless and the movement and animation of the crowd scenes were expertly directed and convincingly maintained. The audience had such a good time, there is little room for criticism, The leads were all extremely well played and I particularly. liked Ray Langridge as Sakini, the in- terpreter; Norman Edmond- JOURNAL BY JO ALDW!NCKLE | | Women's Editor of The Times son, the blustering colonel; Avi Rosen, the old, old Mr. | Oshira and John Francom as | Mr. Sumata. However, it was the well-rounded performance of the whole cast, plus the in- triguing music, that made the play such a complete success. ALSO, concerning matters theatrical, the Dutch Drama Club is presenting an English comedy in three acts, 'The White Sheep of the Family" by L. du Garde-Peach and Ian | Hay at O'Neill Collegiate next Saturday night. The play will be performed in Dutch with Jules Neve directing and Rita Zevenhoven and Hank Fayer in the leading roles. There was a time when the | Ukrainian community delight- ed many of us with their oper- ettas which we hope they will someday revive. Now, the Dutch residents are giving us an opportunity to see their acting ability and musical talent, too, because the Cen- tennial Male Choir is to sing during intermission. Wouldn't it be great, if the French- Canadians would present us with some Moliere as only they can? THE GROWING popularity of modern square dancing has finally made a foothold in The Lenore Unit of Sim- coe Street United Church Women added a centennial touch to its annual dessert luncheon with costumes, furnishings and old-fashion- ed cookies served in bas- ANNUAL DESSERT LUNCHEON INTRODUCES 1867 SETTING kets. Mrs. Morris Holt of Peterborough, chairman of women's activities for this area under the Ontario Cen- tennial Planning Branch spoke on centennial pro- grams across Canada and costumes. In a setting of period furniture on the stage are seen Mrs. J. B. Wannop, Mrs. Rupert Edwards, Mrs. B. W. Buck and Mrs. J. G. Carter, convener. --Oshawa Times Photo congratulated the women taking part. Mrs. J. G. Car- ter and Mrs. Fred Harding were co-hostesses and Mrs. Harry Kerr and Mrs. J. K. Moffat, seen above, re- ceived in old - fashioned General Motors. Anyone who visits the beautifully reno- vated Mary street GM audi- torium on a Friday night will see a small group of smiling GM faces ready to 'square off". The club is fortunate in having two excellent callers. "Al Derumaux of the En- gineering Department and Glen Dowson of the Quality Control Department who hold the attention of the group with their mixture of square dance and singing calls. The majority of the partici- pants are beginners but the confusion adds to the fun and the club hopes to grow to a membership of two groups of 25 squares and there is cer- tainly no lack of enthusiasm. A NOTE for home-makers. Now that spring house-clean- ing has started you are prob- ably turning out worn out gar- ments, towels and linens. Do you know that Glenholme Training Centre on Welling- ton street, wants rags, rags and still more rags? The trainees use them for clean- ing their: printing presses and once used they are fit only for burning, 50, they need a constant supply. Still wear- able clothes should go to Sim- coe Hall but those that are "fit for the rag-bag'"' should go to Glenholme, not the school, but the training cen- tre for young adults.

But I can't help resenting the number of inter- viewers I've encountered who ask me questions about my home that are really none of their business. Is this a standard practice And must I answer personal questions Mrs. M. G. Dear Mrs. M. G.: An interviewer is not prying into your personal business when you are asked such ques- tions as: "Does your husband approve of your working" "How will you arrange things with your children" 'What will happen with your children during summer vacations" These are matters that are a company's business, too, be- cause they influence how de- pendable you will be at work. The way you answer them de- termines to a great extent how well you will fit into the frame- work of the office. You don't have to be overly personal when you answer them. But you do have to give an interviewer a well-thought out, business-like reply. So be { prepared to respond to them and don't resent the fact that these questions are asked. Dear Roberta Roesch: I am the mother of six chil- dren who range in age from eight to 20 so I haven't been able to work in years. At this point though, I want to work, and I must get a job to help with expenses. Wherever I apply, however, I am always taken back by the number of young executives who are supervising older women. They seem to be all over the place, and some of them look so youthful they could be my sons. I'm afraid that taking orders from them would tend to bother me, so I'm wondering if other older women find it hard to work for younger people. Mrs. H. J. Dear Mrs. H. J.: Many older women take or- ders from younger bosses all the time and get along just fine --so I'm sure you can manage to do it, too. Besides, with a houseful of children ranging from eight to 20 haven't you taken orders for years from people who are Telephone 723-3474 for For its closing night for the| Mixed Curling Club, the Osh-' awa Golf Club was transform- ed into a "'Night in Gay Paree"' for a wine and cheese party.
