D. Conant, chairman of the provisional committee; Mrs. Clifford Henry, Mrs. Frank Chappell, Mrs. W. A. Wecker, Mrs. R. B. Smith, Mrs. 3. J. Fleming and Mrs. T. K. Creighton. Through the generosity of the Y.W.C.A. and its executive director, Miss Elizabeth Pitt, light refresh- ments were served to the large as- sembly, with Mrs. Emerson Chan' and Mrs. Frank Chappell presiding at the coffee table centered with & beautiful arrangement of daffo- dils. Glowing tributes were paid to those who had worked both before the footlights and backstage to make the production of "Angel Street" the success it undoubtedly had been. Mrs. Conant spoke with enthusiasm of the first Little Thea tre whose spark she said had never really died out. She called on the Mayor, Mr. Michael Starr, who of- fered his congratulations and ex- pressed: the hope that a new or- ganization would come into being as a result of this splendid effort. Col. Frank Chappell, who played an active part in the first Little | Theatre group mentioned the fact | that doubts were almost always | cast on the success of any new ven- | ture, and read a little poem recall- ing a $5 bet on the success of the original group, and concluded by forecasting good things for Oshawa Little Theatre. Mr. A. E. O'Neill, who confessed to being "a very cold critic" ad- mitted that he had been elated by the stamdard of the performance and thought that this was an in- | dication of the talent waiting to be discovered in Oshawa's enlarged Michael Sadlier, actor and: pro- ducer, who had given professional advice to Mrs. Alan Quin, director of "Angel Street. Mr, Sadier com- plimented the players on their choice of play. Angel Street, he said, had played in London for two years and on Broadway with an all-star cast, and he felt the Osh- awa group had been most ambi- tious, and also that its ambitions had been realized. Others who voiced congratula- tions were Alderman Hayward Mur- doch, president of CR.A.; Mr. Ern- est Winter whose plays at the O.C.VI. have earned for him a reputation as a director; Mr. George Drynan, director fo the Radio Branch of CR.A.; Mr. Alfred Per- sociations and Mr. M. Mcintyre Hood who anounced that the in- augural meeting of the new group would be held in the C.R.A. build- ing, Gibbs Street, February 15. Mrs. H. P. Bull proposed that a nominating committee be appointed from the present' temporary com- mittee, and this motion was second- ed by Mr. W. A. Wecker. Mr. Alan Quin spoke of the place of dramatics in the community, and | said he felt the time was ripe for | Oshawa to take it gplace along with other centres. He extended an in- | vitation to all interested in this | phase of art and culture to attend the organization meeting, already | announced, at C.R.A., February 15.

It passed through the wards of the Treloar Hospital at Alton. 'Attached to each Scroll is a blue note book in which each mes- | senger signs her name when she | hands over her precious burden, The Log Book tells of the adven- tures of the Scroll and of the his- toric places through which it has passed. Each Scroll contains a message of greeting from certain guides in Britain to those of a cer- | tain other country and it a united | effort in giving as much of Britain's | country and guides themselves to | the unknown guides across the sea. | Following Her address, Mrs, | Conant showed colored slides of scenes taken at the Conference.
