Hl I | { it THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE | Skating Club Include New Ideas Plans Gala Ice Show For Presentation At Arena in March A spectacular ice extravaganza staged on a scale never béfore attempted by a local organization is being planned for the citizens of this city by the Oshawa Skating Club. Fred V. Skinner, President of the Oshawa Skating .Club, announces that although dates have not definitely 'been set as yet, it is almost assured ¢-- that the gala show will take place in the Oshawa Arena around the middle of March. An entirely new show complete with music is being planned and. the club professional Alex Fulton has already designed and planned original routines and numbers that will delight every fol- lower of ghis wonderful sport. Special Music A complete musical background fo match the spestacular effects of - the show is also being planned. An entire new orchestra will be built with special music written for the show. Most of the musicians will be Standouts in their line and trained "to follow skating routines, Special musical numbers will be worked in- to the programme to the delight of all music lovers. New Ideas Club Professional = Alex Fulton, who is recognized as one of the foremost skating club professionals + in Canada, has been searching for - ideas and talent all summer while . teaching outstanding students at the summer skating school in Northern Ontario. He has received + much favorable publicity for his work in Oshawa and has a high . standing in figure-skating circles. The dates of the Oshawa Ice Show will so coincide with the vari- ous championship évents so that the citizens of this district will no doubt be able to see the newest Canadian, American and perhaps World Champions display their talents in the local ice palace. One outstand- ing American skater has already signified her intention of arranging to be in Oshawa for this show and several others will no doubt follow. However, it is not the intention of the local club to make the program top heavy with imported stars but rather only to bring in the absolute best to top off an otherwise starry local revue, The Oshawa show has become one of the biggest events in Canadian figure skating and the skating stars recognize it as an event of importance. MINK, NIGHT CALLER IN PETERBOROUGH Peterborough, Dec. 19 -- (CP) -- A handsome black mink was a mid- night caller at the home of Maurice J. McCarthy near here. Mrs, Mc- Carthy saw it at the back door and thought it was a squirrel. Her hus- band, called from bed, took it for a black cat until he turned a flash- light on it and it stood on its hind | b legs. The McCarthys said the mink apparently was looking for food. hg rere ---- = -- Ap -- i Pe ------------ i -- aaa EU bk LR ,, Need For Additional School Room ARTICLE XI Eighteen years have elapsed since the City of Oshawa spent any money on an addition to our public schools and no complete new unit has been built in twenty-three years. For ten years there has not been an empty classroom in any of the public schools. Basement rooms, improperly ventilated, insufficiently lighted and generally not suitable for the purpose have had to be used as temporary classrooms. We have two public schools, Albert and Mary, which were constructed over seventy years ago. These schools are far below the minimum require- ments of present day standards as regards to play- grounds, lighting, heating and ventilating and are extremely costly to the taxpayers for maintenance and upkeep. We have 23 classrooms with an enrolment in excess of 40 pupils, the highest enrolment being 46. Of thése 17 are situated in the north east part of the City and would be greatly relieved by the new school. It is unfair and unhealthy to both teacher and pupil to have to work in an overcrowded classroom. In the area north of King Strcet there are only 26 classrooms while south of King Street the number is 59, which indicates that excess accommodation has not been provided for the north éasterly part of the City. The City of Oshawa with a population of over 21,000 has one kindergarten. There should be one in every public school as the kindergarten is a necessary part of each school. We have orly one fully equipp<d Manual Train ing Room and one only Home Economics centre. There should be three of each to adequately serve the pupils of this community. There should be classrooms available for Hand Crafts, Visual Ais and Physical Education and ' therefore additional provision for this instruction should kt: made. hi A careful survey of the pre-school popuiation ia- cicates that next year's enrolment of children will be gre: ter. than at present. The large number of dwellings being Built in the north east and easterly parts of the City is another indicaticn that the en- rolment will be increased. y The present school debenture debt will be retired In six years. Since 1930 over $1,000,000.00 has been paid for School Debenture~ When North Simcoe School was built many said "No one lives there." It was, filled to capacity soon ¢fter. Considerable time is spent by the Board endeav- ouring to solve school problems aac provide the best possible tuition for the school population of the City. It must be remembered that: the jrembers are obli- gated by. the responsibilities to their oath of office to provide adequate school accommodation. The Department of Education is thoroughly 'amiliar with the school needs of the City. It is the responsibility of every citizen and taxpayer to see that the City is * provided with adequate schools. The school building programme proposed by the Board should be approv- ed or an alternative plan suggested that will serve the purpose equally as well. . ~--BOARD OF EDUCATION Set Of Pictures Farewell Gift a recent the C.GI1T. girls, a pe. and Mrs, Harold Salter. , Ida Smale is with her daughters Lillie and Carrie Ro- chester, N.Y.

Both operator and messenger were dressed in old-time costume, and new high-speed keyboard. The years had not impaired the old machine that carried Mayor Saunders' greeting. Its message was received in Hamilton and de- livered to Mayor Lawrence written out by hand on the old-time blanks. Messages from Mayor Saunders also were sent to St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake, as was done a century ago. Vast Strides Made ~ W. M.
