PUPPETRY CRAFTS IN ACTION (This is the second in a series articles, de FERRET oe] fo be at Hiding is is the public creative fields that are avail to them for better leisure- Hving.) (Mr. John Mclnnes, a graduate dent of puppetry under George Merten of the Community Pro- grammes Branch of the Depart- ment of Education is now a De- partment art supervisor. He is a member of a professional mar- fonette group who regularly con- duct shows at the Eaton Auditor- jum and over television from the Toronto station CBLT.) THEATRE FASCINATING Theatre arts have always been fascinating. The many different creative activities which go into a theatrical production provide scope for a wide range of talents. Many people, however, who would "just love to be on the stage", or would "like to try a hand at designing a set, "never get around to it "be- cause it is such a large undprtak- ing. With marionettes, all" your ambitions for getting in on the creative arts of the theatre can be fulfilled. With marionettes you can ex- periment with most of the theatre arts on the puppet stage with a minimum of time and trouble. You can act through a puppet character. You can write script for the puppet stage. You can de- sign and execute costumes and backgrounds. You can see the theatre in miniature come to life under your direction and enjoy all the saticfaction of producing a big stage extravaganza. That's what makes puppetry fun! You start with character study and create with your own hands the actors, singers, dancers for your stage. You give them their per- sonalities. You bring them to life when you string and control them. Along the way you make use of the arts of modelling, carving and painting, and develop your skill in these. Costuming the puppets tests your ingenuity. One day you may Feet Ey be preparing the lavish dress of a princess, and the next you may be called upon to produce a tatter- ed coat for a tramp. You costume the character to suit the part and in the process develop the skills of costume design. The most fun of all is in feeling the Leis come to life in your hands. The feet which you have carved from a block of wood are Boing to dance. Those hands you ave created are going to move with expressive gestures. The puppet is going to carry your feel- ings of joy, sadness, humour or tragedy to the audience because you are acquiring the skill of mastering the movements of the marionette. HAVE POSSIBILITIES Puppets have possibilities. The creators of puppets for television shows sometimes earn more than live actors. There is an increasing demand for puppets to be used in advertising and films. The current favourite movie, "Lili" showed the possibilities of puppetry in film. Best of all, wherever you perform with puppets you find a warm and gratifying response from old and young. Can everyone succeed at pup petry? Everyone who has an in- terest can develop many skills in learning the arts of this crafts. Of course, some succeed more rapid- ly than others. Some with special | abilities find particular success in one branch of the art. A person with musical ability will find that his sense of timing and rhythm will mark his puppetry work. One with a keen sense of drama or comedy will find that this shows in his puppet production. Every- one will discover that some new talent, until now dormant, will show up in the process of learn ng puppetry. uppetry is here to stay. It'is an ancient art developed in the Orient thousands of years ago, practised for centu by different peoples of the world. It always seems fresh and new because it always creates something new and takes advantages of new ways of work- ing. Puppetry will live as long as people take a delight in watching these little people come to life on the miniature stage. Christian Police Officers Here The Oshawa and district Chris-- | tian Business Men's Committee | held its first meeting of the fall | season, in the Masonic Temple Monday evening, when a group of Christian police officers from To- ronto came down to put on the program. The leader of the group, Inspec- tor William McAlister gave a very inspiring address in which he set forth clearly the gospel message and told many interesting stories of how the gospel h2 ~ ¥_en applied in the lives of men and women with whom he had come in con- tact in his long career as a mem- | ber of the Toronto Police Depart- m Ar anyie him was In-- spector .Brownlee who gave .his| personal testimony and led in, pray- | er. Vocal and instrumental musical numbers were given by Detective Jack Foster and Traffic Officer Nelson Trafford, also of the To- ronto Police Force. The meeting was presided aver {by W. L. Smith, Chairman of the [local committee, who gave a re- port on the recent convention of CBMCI in Chicago. This was sup- plemented by other highlight re- ports from Josh March and A. R. Alloway. The devotional reading and prayer was led by Herb Wil- son and Otto Sharrard introduced the speaker. Jack Hooper led the song service and Miss Dorothy Morris was pianist, ~. The next meeting will be held on December 7 when a nominating committee will bring in » report on new officers for the ensuing year.

Newspapers on which he worked included the Lethbridge Herald, the Hamilton Spectator and the Chicago Herald and Examiner. died' | dends. 2 Tickets, 2 New Autos The 'Amazing Ed Merson of Montreal" stopped in Oshawa yesterday to collect the second car he has won in Oshawa this year! Two tickets -- two cars, just as easy as that. That's all he pur- chased. Having never won any car be- fore this year. Mr. Merson quite naturally has a soft spot in his heart, and in his pockefbook, for Oshawa. As a travelling man for a Montreal furniture company, he encounters many car raffles the course of his travels. Whether the cost of these 'tickets goes down on the expense account or not, Mr. Merson didn't say. The first car he won in the spring was given by the - Mer- chants Ball Club. The second was drawn on October 31 to ald the Odd Fellows CPT fund. Mr. Merson gave the first car to his wife. But since he travels many thousands of miles in the course of a year, he will keep the second for his personal use. ller of the winning ticket on the last car was Bill Brinning, Pontiac Avenue, who received $100 for his prize. From now on Mr. Brinning should find it very easy to sell tickets to Ed Merson. Four To Seek { 'Re-election The four laborite councilmen, Mayor Naylor and Aldermen W. Powers, Cephas Gay and Clifford Harman, all confirmed their inten- tion to run for office again at last night's meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council. Asked by Delegate W. Talbot to declare their intentions, each of the officials present replied they definitely would be contesting the municipal elections. Whereupon, delegate Talbot wish- ed each the best of luck in the forthcoming campaign. : for a number of years. '| Church in this city, he has held 4 ing the in their posts splendidly throughout In Contest For Council A close contender last year, | Walter Lane today announced his | intention to run again for election re the City Council. Entering the race at the last moment, Mr. Lane, all but won a WALTER LANE seat on the Council last year field, less than 200 votes from the covoted goal. "Many friends did not even know I was running" to enable every citizen to know my views on at least a few matters that I might gain their support." Mr. Lane, a teacher at the Osh- awa Collegiate for the past eight years, is keenly interested in city planning and public affairs gen- erally. He was President of the CCF Riding Association for four years, resigning from the party in 1952. At that time he stated that he wanted 'to be free to express his own views without implicating a political party." T A toolmaker and tool designer in earlier years, he was a union steward when he was 21. He has studied music deeply and has been a Church organist and Choir leader Very active in Calvary Baptist many church offices here and in Hamilton, his home town. "I feel my experience of witness- wth of industrial Ham- iltton, where I lived 28 years. will He continues "If anyone asked me "Why are you run ning?' I think I would say -- be- cause I have always been vitally concerned about public matters, and my Christian experience has deepened my desire to serve, especially the working people who are too seldom considered serious- ly enough. Poppy Sale Raises $1,393 Percy Carter, chairman of the Poppy Committee of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion, announced this morning that, con: sidering the inclement weather on Saturday, when the annual Poppy Day was held, the results were highly satisfactory. A total of $1,- 393. 60 was realized by the sale of poppies to the public by the large force of taggers who worked throughout the day, in spite of the snow and cold conditions. "I want to pay a tribute to all of our taggers," said Mr. Carter to The Times-Gazette. "Conditions were the worst possi- ble for them, but they stuck to the day, and the result which was achieved speaks for itself and test- ifies to their faithfulness. We of the Legion Poppy Fund Committee are fortunate in having so many faithful taggers to sell poppies for the fund once a year." Drunk Driver Given Month George Tucker, 61, 119 Verdun Road, was convicted Tuesday of drunk driving for the third time in 22 years, and sentenced to one month in jail. His first conviction was 22 years ago, and the second 12 years ago. Magistrate Ebbs con- sidered the charge before him as a second offense and gave the min- imum sentence of one month. Constable J. K. Young, arrested Tucker October 24 after chasing him in a taxi. Dr. H. M. MacDonald examined the accused that same night. The alcohol content of his bloodstream showed .28 per cent alcohol which 'meant that he had drunk at least 14 ounces of whiskey. "The man had a silly look on his face. He swayed and tottered when he stood up. He was, in my opinion quite drunk," said the doctor. Found in the car when Tucker was arrested was a partly emptied bottle of rye whiskey. A charge of having liquor was withdrawn. Hamilton Baha'i To Speak Here "The Promise of All Ages" will be the subject of an address at [the Genosha Hotel this Thursday at 8.15 p.m. Miss Nancy Camp- bell of Hamilton will be the spéak- er, under the sponsorship of Osh- awa members of the Baha'i World Faith. ~ Miss Campbell, who i. active in several fields of art and music, is best known as a pioneer in the | develop t of Ci di Ballet, | having organized the Hamilton | Ballet Company, which appeared in two ballet festiyals in 1950.

E. J. Henderson was on Tuesday even install- ed as District Deputy High Chief Ranger for the Oshawa District of the Canadian Order of Foresters. The ceremony of installation was conducted by Bro. L. B. Hamlin, High Court Secretary, of Brant- ford, who in a stirring address, spoke of the high fraternal prin- ciples of the order, and sounded a high note of praise for the record o ot Oshawa in the fraternal eld. LONG SERVICE RECORD _ In installing Bro. Henderson, the High Court officer spoke in glow- ing terms of his long years of ser- vice to forestry as a member of Court Oshawa, as its past chief ranger and as financial secretary. The new DDHCR, in responding, announced his intention to promote greater interest in inter-court visitation, and in giving assistance to the courts in hitby and Raglan. Bro. M. McIntyre Hood, retiring DDHCR, was presented with his' past service jewel by Bro. 0. Cook, provincial manager of the order for Eastern Ontario, who paid tri- bute to the recipient's services to the order. Bro. Douglas Trivett, Chief Ranger of Court Oshawa, presented Bro. Hood with a hang- some set of match pipes, and ex- pressed the warm thanks of the Lodge Instals Officers brethren to the retiring District Deputy for his many contributions. to the work and welfare of the order. Bro. Cook also presented to Court Oshawa a plaque for its memberghip shield, marking the 11th year in which the court has initiated over 20 new members. This, he said, was a record at- tained by very few courts in the Dominion of Canada. PLAN ANNIVERSARY Bro. Hamlin, in addressing the court, spoke of the program which had been ar#nged for the cele- bration of the 75th anniversary of the order in 1954. An objective 7- 500 new members had been set for the year, and with 900 courts in Canada, this was believed possible of attainment. The High Court Executive had also decided to raise a cancer research fund to mark the anniversary occasion, and. an objective of $25,000 had n set for this fund. From the returns which had already been received from several courts, how- ever, he was confident that the amount raised during 1954 would be at least double the objective. Plans were announced for the annual Christmas party of Court Oshawa, which will be held in the Westmount Church building on December 10, with the children of all members, numbering well in excess of 200, invited as guests. Several questions concerning dis- crepancies in contract deadlines on public buildings were directed to Alderman W. Powers and Mayor Naylor last night during the Osh- awa and District Labor Council's civic discussion panel. "Isn't there any way the city can force contractors to stick by their contract?" W. G. Wilkins ask- ed: He referred in partiular to the city hall and the new sewage disposal plant which were expedt- ed to run considerably past- their original finishing dates. Delegate W. Talbot wanted to know if these extensions were cost- ing the ratepayers any money. Alderman Powers said shortages of some materials, the necessity of checking specifications and unfore- seen building difficulties all con- tributed to slowing down large pro- jects such as these. He pointed out that the extra length of time did not cost the city any money. Mayor Naylor said it was impor- tant to have the buildings well- constructed and attractive in ap- pearance. The contractor wanted to do as good a job as he could in order to help him solicit more business. Actually, he said, it was the contractor who lost money on delays. Contract Delays Are Explained Alderman Cephas Gay, who along with Alderman Clifford Harman, represented the laborite council- men at the meeting, pointed out that many contractors would not put a completion date in the con- tract. Alderman Powers said he had never seen any major project any- where 'that was completed right on the button." This question of contract dead- line was the most controversial subject that wast brought up dur- ing the discussion with the city fathers. Some other questions were ask- ed about the depth of gravel put on new streets and the cost of road building. Alderman Powers, who Mayor Naylor described as the hardest- working alderman on a hard-work- ing council, received most of the questions. . As chairman of public works, Mr. Powers said, he didn't mind listening to complaints. "But everybody in Oshawa is concerned with their own 50 feet. If there is a hole in the sidewalk or the road in front of their house, they complain. However, I have only so much money at my dis- posal and with that I have to look after the whole city." Officials of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest this morning re- ported contributions have now rais- ed the total on hand to $102,326.02. It should be pointed out that the $71 listed yesterday as the contri- bution of the staff of the Children's Aid Society was giver in memory of the late Miss Florie M. Cameron a beloved member of the CAS staff who died suddenly on Ottober 12. Miss Cameron was well knowh in the community through her work in placing children for adoption.

Pointing out that in event of an- other worl enemy would strike first at tl people and their homes, to demoralize the nation and put factories out of action, the speaker went on to say that today "we face nothing less than the job of revolutionizing the think- ing of the Canadian people on the subject of National Defence. EQUAL RESPONSIBILITY "We must convince the average citizen that he himself bears equal responsibility and risk with the man in uniform in the defence of his homeland," he said. I was stressed that in atomic warfare, the civilian pulation will be more vulnerable to mass destruc- tion than the armed forces, due to concentration and population den- sity. The responsibility therefore lies entirely with the individual, it is his life, his home, his family, his community, his country that must be protected, by him. The speaker went on to give a vivid description of the ravages of destruction caused by an atom bomb explosion. He described the three great dangers, the searing heat of the intense flash or heat wave, which burns any combus- tible material; then the terrific blast of air that literally tears apart everything of normal struc- ture, within a radius of almost a mile and finally the danger of radio-active rays, which can also kill or maim. METHODS OF PROTECTION The approved methods of pro- tection were outlined by the speak- er, who went on to tell of what type of shelter is preferred. A warning system to give people time to take shelter, basement shelters, community shelters and plans for evacuation were Sven as the problems to be faced by every individual. "Should Oshawa experience an atom bomb attack over the centre of the city, we can expect some- where between 5,000 to 10,000 kill- ed, either from the effect of the bomb itself or from _ secondary causes such as fire, suffocation, etc. In addition we can expect 6,000 to 10,000 injured, or a total of perhaps 15,000 casualties," the speaker declared. "The objective of civil defence then is to implement our civic services, such as police, fire, medical, welfare, dngineering, am- bulance, etc., and to organize such civil defence Services as wardens, rescue, tr tation, ica- tions, etc., and to provide a head- quarters staff to co-ordinate these services. NINE TARGET AREAS The speaker went on to explain how the country has been divid- ed into three areas, target area, mutual aid area and.the mobile and reception area. He outlined the target areas, of which there are nine in Ontario. "In Oshawa," stated the speak- er, "we are going along quietly organizing. our resources." He named Dr. Wilson McKay, medi- cal services; Robt. Hewitt, ward- en service; "Dick" McLaughlin, National Defence Is Everyone's Concern Atom Warfare Dangers Cited "National defense is, of course, the business of ev- eryone. Both military defence and civil defence is the concern of us all," declared Thomas Hopkins, co-ordinator for the Oshawa and district civic defence committee, who was guest speaker at Tuesday's weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. ® A transportation; Frank Baker, com- munications; as a few of the men Yio form the Oshawa organiza- ion. In conclusion, the speaker stat- ed, "these men and women in this committee are giving their time to do something about defence. As they progress, they will require assistance. I am sure that assist- ance will be forthcoming when the time arrives." Mr. Hopkins was introduced to the members and guests by Ki- wanian "Gil" Dockeray while Ki- wanian John Cameron voiced the grateful appreciation of the meet- ing, at the conclusion of the timely address. QUARANTINE SERVICE Canada's quarantine service in- spects all vessels entering Cana- dian ports for the purpose of pre- venting contagious diseases from entering the country. One person could easily start an epidemic here, were Canada not efficiently pro- tected by this service, now nearly three centuries old. » LONG CAREER Gen.
