Great Stage Show At Picnic Of UAW A glitte; stage show, with pro- ML Nag Sage d a Bn) nig madcap clown and a liberal serv- of toe-tapping music ighlignt- the outing for most of those in ce. Tops in the show-stealing depart- ment was Peter, the wonderful, big-footed clown whose zany an- tics delighted the hearts of chil- dren from six to sixty. The funny- man threatened to run away with Je Ss gtirely as ji bog. prancing, arm-wavi which t screams of appreci- ation from the youngsters. - There to thrill the huge crowd with her breathtaking gymnastics was "Miss Twisto", whose precar- fous hand-stands, body twists and back bends brought gasps of admir- al . A third major attraction were the Marquettes who manipulated their dan , twirling marionettes in a colorful display. Presiding with a seemingly end- less supply of jokes and novelty songs was Billy Meek, a talented young Scotsman who did a bang- up job as master of ceremonies. first, the hundreds in the mill- ing crowd showed little inclination to stand in one spot under the broil- ing sun, but as Peter the clown opened up the program with of mischievous . tricks, more more persons began to drift to. ward the wide wooden stage. At this point, Peter earned the chil- dren's gratitude by asking the adults to step back and surrender their ringside positions to the todd- Jers. After hauling a group of ungsters up on the stage and ding an impromptu balloon- bursting contest, '"'to see whether the boys or girls have the most wind," the inimitable clown dress- N ed them in baby outfits, complete 'with bonnets, bottles and bibs. His shouted remarks to the audi- ence brought concerted roars that carried to the edges of the park grounds. TALENTED DANCER Performer Mary May lived up to her Miss Twisto" stage name as she went into a series of con- tortions that had the rhéumatic members of the crowd shaking their heads in disbelief. The grace- ful, shapely Miss May provided lenty of eye appeal as she per- ed in 'a two-piece scarlet outfit that threatened to bring a disorder- ly halt to a nearby softball game. Miss May left immediately for Montreal, where she appears next. MASTER PUPPETEERS Next to appear on the program was a clown, about eight inches tall and riding a bicycle across the stage. While some members of the Gary his | whiny audience went out to get their eyes examined, the rest remained to applaud the efforts of Hal and Ren- ie Marquette, puppeteers extraord- inaire. Following the clown were tin: figures of Donald Duck, a multi- colored ostrich, and a chorus line of can-can girls, all manipulated by the Marquettes in intricate dance patterns. The talentefl pup- pet masters were seriously ham- pered by a stiff breeze blowing across put on a crowd-pleasing perform- ance. Billy Meek filled the gaps in the rogram with his wit and songs, cluding a delightful burlesque of Jack and the beanstock, DRAWING OF PRIZES At. the completion of the stage show and speeches, an expectant hush fell over the mass of specta- tors, and moments later, union of- ficials reached deep into the color- ed drums for the first prize-win- ning ticket.

Awful Suspicion Is Confirmed PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Officials have cancelled present plans to add a nursery to the giraffe section at Pittsburgh Highland Park zoo. It turned out that the new tenants which were registered as Mr. and Mrs. are two misses. A veterinarian confirmed the awful suspicion today and dashed all hope of adding a toddler long- neck to the giraffe Sage. Zoo officials paid $9, for the two animals last month. Carl Hag- enbeck, famed wild animal hunter, shipped the animals from his cages at Hamburg, Germany. Lloyds of London insured the pair for $7,000 and noted on the policy "no distinguishing marks ex- cept difference in sex." . Dr. W. Erwin Schegkler said ore of the animals has a navel hernia --*a confusing piece of scar tissue easily misinterpreted when trying to determine sex."

He has labored in the mission field there since then, returning only for a brief period in 1947, when he was ordained in the Baptist Church. He will remain in Canada now, and will begin doing deputation work in Canada, in which he says he hopes "to open people's eyes to the true condi- tions in Colombia." "The one problem in Colombia' said Mr. Kennedy, 'is the power of the Roman Catholic Church." The short, heavy-set minister told The Times-Gazette that his status Returned Missionary Tells Startling Story as an Srdaied Baptist cluster was n Yecoguised mbia, due to the influence of the Roman Catholic Church with the govern- ment of the country. In over two- thirds of the country. Protestant ministers were not allowed to reach or set up churches. This, said, was because Columbia's population was overwhelmingly Ca- tholic. Heit uns "All Protestant ministers live in imminent danger' said Mr. Ken- nedy, "particularly in small towns where the local priest is equivalent to being mayor, chief of police and everything else. I have entered towns preaching the word of God" he said "and had to get out before my wife and I were murdered." Mr. Kennedy said he has heard of Protestant churches being de- stroyed and ministers being half- killed by fanatical priests. The government in Colombia, he said, was being ruled by the Ro- man Catholic Church, and a simi- lar condition was threatening in Ca- nada according to his views. "Age is no barrier" was the theme of this year's record sports entries at the UAW, Local 222 Pic- nic at Lakeview Park for a wide variety of skill and athletic events catered to all ages, shapes and sizes on Saturday afternoon. In contrast to the silent swiftness and gracefulness of fleet-of-foot youth could be heard the creak of more aged bones less accustomed to such strenuous exersie, The finishing line at the race events proved a CO) of contrast for the inter- ested bystander. One race would provide a spectacle of tiny toddlers with little legs flying; another, an agonising scene of grown-ups clutching aching backs and gasping for breath, or perhaps school boys breaking the tape with effortless ease, Though Saturday's toll of strain- muscles must have been respons- ible for many scenes of anguish at home on day, the rewards out- weighed the cost, not only because of the sheer joy and ecitement de- rived from participating, but for the satisfaction of winning one of the many luring and magnificent prizes offered. prizes alone had appeal enough to make any old-- timer throw his stick away and gamble his health to obtain one of them. The chil of coure, ed no coaxing; the hardest job here was to hold them back the starting signal. Much can be said in praise of Richard McEvers and his helners for the fine organisation of race events VARIED CONTESTS Then there was the more spe- cialised sports of casting and spin- ning. This was run under the man- agement of Marv Linton and the Rod and Gun Committee, and al- so drew a large crowd and many participants. ny fine examples of the art of rodmanship were ob- served, and the prizes won, such as thermo jugs, boat cushions and life preservers, were all articles of use in a fisherman's kit. The horseshoe throwing, under John Gow, presented many heart- breaking scenes of near misses and frustrated hopes. Here again the a- luring prizes made even the most unsteady of hand try their luck. The bingo went with a bang un- der the capable supervision of Frank O'Connor. And no wonder it was well attended. Who would not play bingo for such rewards as el- ectric kettles and perculators? Sports And Contests Are Features At UAW Picnic For those whose fancy lay in watching ball games there was the softball tournament.

The Bears won the final over the Dynamos, Judge Shows Wisdom In Difficult Case LONDON (Reuters) Pagan revelry sometimes goes on behind the closed doors of straight-laced British banks, but not necessarily adultery, a divorce court judge ruled Friday. y. Judge Blanco White said the revels, carried out on a "decorous scale appropriate to an institution like a bank," are a regular twice- a-year occurrence. After the bank completes its semi-annual balance sheets and finds that the assets are "neither too much nor too little," he said, the portals are closed and "re- joicing takes place something equi- valent to the pagan harvest festi- vals of old." But just because a man places "arms around female members of the staff and implants a chast will go off on his honeymoon only one dollar. South, Oshawa. Of the 5,000 people who flocked to the picnic, more' than three- quarters were children.

LOST AND FOUND Other youngsters came to laugh at the antics of Peter the Clown, who played uncle to hundreds. Every few minutes the loud-speak- er called the names of parents of wandering tots who had been taken to the platform, and almost as fre- quent were the inquiries of anxious parents whose children were still missing. When the crowds began to drift away one mother, with a baby in her arms and another in a push-chair, was still hunting for her other five children and -a lost husband. Halfway through thé afternoon the success of the picnic was threatened by grey and black storm clouds. A few people made for the shelter of their cars, but the great majority ignored the darkened skies and were soon rewarded by the sunshine which burst from the clouds with renewed vigour, Later hey were seeking shelter from the al SEA OF PARKED CARS Beneath the shady trees between the roadway and the lake family parties wh ohad arrived early ga- thered to eat picnic lunches.

Peter the Clown set the ball rolling when he invited the kiddie onto the platform to take part in a balloon bursting contest. Then the rows of 'shining faces watched, with eyes widening in wonder, the antics of the marion- ettes, and the acrobatic prowess of Miss Mary May. At the west end of the park mem- bers of the Union Rod and Gun Club were £ompeting for prizes in tests of casting and spi ac- curacy. Midway, a crowd watched one of the four ball-games that were played off during the after- noon, Happily there weré no Bas ualties to mar the day.
