Ilustrating his point, he said if you read chapter three of a book then skip to the last chapter you miss the plot, This was the case,-- in reference to the week of prayer. The Canon opened by saying that it was probably true he read a great deal more than the average rson. He said that in his reading e noted more and more that his- torians and scientists are continu- ally giving warnings of the coming crisis, The church never mentions this crisis CRISIS FORESEEN "The situation," sald the Canon, "reminds us of a summer day, sultry, with the threatening signs of a thunder storm forming, There is going to be a crisis in the world, Canon Paterson admitted, but he | also pointed out that, "in a chang- 4 i] world -- Christ is an unchang- ng thing."

"Yes," he said he was answer- ed, "It further points to the fears that govern our lives." Another questionable point the canon brought up was why we spend such large amounts of mon- ey on atomic weapon research, and so little, in comparison, on medical research, A final illustration of the fears of our world by Canon Paterson was the item he had read in a maga- zine about a gas which has been recently developed, FEARS FOR FUTURE "It is tasteless, colorless and has no smell but one drop on the back of your hand will instantly paralize | Crow, you and kill you in 30 seconds One quart of the same gas," sald the Canon further, "dropped on Toronto would wipe out over half the population of the city. has this gas!"

The slight swelling in the ranks of male unemployed was caused by a combination of several factors, Mr. Hodgson said, He pointed out that recalls have been completed in the city's factories, and that industrial hiring is now "light", In addition, many persons have regi- stered for supplementary benefits which are to be paid this month, Mr. Hodgson sald that during December, Oshawa attracted some "transient labor' -- workers who came here on the strength of ru. mors to the effect that hiring was being done in the major factories, A number of these have applied for unemployment insurance benefits, but it is expected that many such applications will be allowed to lapse before the end of January, NO LAY-OFFS IN SIGHT The industrial picture in the city and district has remained fairl steady, Mr. Hodgson said, Al though there has been little hiring, it would appear that production | schedules are being maintained, | and apparently there are no lay- offs under consideration, The only slump occurred in the building trades as winter brought its usual slowdown to construction w ork. "But roundly speaking," Mr, Hodgson declared, "Construction remains in a reasonably healthy | state." Recently added to the lst of current and future building pro- number of jobless men increased from 2,159 to 2,247, but the past month saw the total of unemployed females re- jects in the area were the Fire- stone Company's new $125,000 ser- vice station and warehouse at King and Mary streets, and an $83, supermarket at Whitby, SKILLED TRADES ON DEMAND As usual, workers possessing skilled manufacturing trades have been 'in great demand". Durin the month, Mr, Hodgson's branc placed almost 30 arc-welders and millwrights, among others, When an employer sends a call to the Oshawa bureau for a skilled man, he touches off the special NES "clearance procedure", If the po- sition cannot be filled by a worker in the immediate area, unemploy- ment officers can notify other branches in the province, then a- cross the country, until a uitable applicant Is found. Hiring is then done on a long-distance basis, a the worker is sure that a job is waiting before he sets out for Osh- awa, Another "extra" provided by the Oshawa bureau is its Special Placement Service, which handles problem applications, Last month, this department found jobs for a youth just out of Bowmanville training school and another re. leased from the Whitby mental hospital on "probation". In bot cases, employment officers went out and 'sold' employers on the idea of giving the young men jobs on a trial basis. 'The Perfect Gift" a devotional drama with its setting in the twenty centuries ago, was present. ed in Cedar Dale United Church as part of the special services marking the Christmas season, Centred around the personality and faith of David, a stable poy, whose unshakable belief in the coming of the King as a little Child triumphed over the doubt and scorn and pride of merchant, sol- dier and richly endowed society. Doreen Barassin, as David, gave to the far-seeing, homeless youth a quality of tender sadness and my- stical reverence that ideally suited the lad who gave his place that the King of Kings might have a man- ger cradle, Her posture of devotion as the curtains parted set the at- mosphere of dignity and reverence which was maintained throughout the play. How the mercenary laterest of the greedy Innkeeper, the pride of a rich and selfish lady, the scorn of a soldier, the ridicule of a mér- chant finally succumbed to the winsomeness and beauty of the Holy Child was most effectively re- vealed by the skill and talent of the young players in their first ex- perienced with religious drama, Closely linked with the charac- ter of David was that of the Inn. keeper's daughter, Ruth, played ny Donna Blanchard, 'whose half-be- lief and half-doubt made this role an exacting one and revealed in the young player an extrememly able and sympathetic understand: ing and interpretation, Marilyn Robinson, as the Innkeeper, whose gruff worldliness and pre-occupa- tion with supposedly important guests caused him to overlook the most important guest of all, gave to this character a reality and forcefulness which would have done honor to a much more ma- ture actress, The rich lady, play- | ed by Patsy McCabe, whose sel fish concern was centred in an on- ly: child, was given a sense of haughtiness and pride which suited admirably the character represen: ted and reflected an intelligent | grasp of an important element of | the unfolding drama. | David Norman, as the soldier of Rome, whose militant bearing and imperious personality so well ex- emplified the legions of Caesar and Robert Brewster, as the Mer- Less Milk And| | amounted to 230 hundred quarts, | Cream Sold Sales of fluid milk and fluid cream by the commercial dairies in the Oshawa zone, in October last, showed a decline from those Cedar Dale Young People Present Nativity Play chant whose life centred on the driving of hard bargains and who was quite unconcerned with the Light in the stable and the music in the skies, where both equally ef- fective in the sincerity and drama- tie quality of their respective roles, Of no less importance, though somewhat less demanding in the extent of dialogue, were the Shep. herds and Kings. Joan Barassin, Sheila Hoy ahd Maureen Robinson gave a simplicity and tenderness and reverence to the Shepherds which had its regal counterpart in the playing of Gary Judd, Arthur Locke and Larry Flintoff as, with dignity befitting royalty, the Kings came to kneel and present their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The play which was presented. as an act of worship reflected great credit on all the young people tak- ing part and augurs well for the future of religious drama, Many words of commendation were spok- en and the hope expressed that the young people would again bring their fine talents into the service of the Church and its worship. Mrs, C. V, Pomery, under whose skilled and experienced direction the 'Perfect Gift" was brought to the point of successful presenta. tion, merits a very special word of appreciation and thanks as do Mes- srs, Harry Andrews and Bruce Sud- dard for staging and Robert Mac: Inally for special help with stage properties, 000 | erintendent of the home."
