It is here solely because of the enthusiasm of a small group of zealots, who, in spite of lack of public support, persevere with their efforts to give Oshawa its own dramatic productions, directed and present-| ed by Oshawa and district peo-| ple.

We can remember the time when we were associated with a splendid Ukrainian choir of 60 voices and a group of Ukrainian folk dancers, which gave wonder- ful concerts, reaching the heights with a marvellous performance in the Regent Theatre on the occa- sion of one of the annual Shen- chenko festivals. We took that choir and dancing group around the surrounding districts present- ing concerts which were a joy and delight, Today these things are no more. The Ukrainian halls which used to resound to the wonderful singing of these talented people, are now given over to Bingo and motion pictures. The voices of the singers are silent; the dramatic ability of these people is stilled, all because of the changing way of life, ART INTEREST We could go on into other fields of culture. We can remember the frequent art exhibitions which were held in the city, with all of the paintings contributed by Osh- awa and district artists. We re- call on one occasion that the walls of the St. George's Parish Hall were all too inadequate to hold all the paintings, by local people, available for exhibition. We wonder what a similar exhibi- tion today would bring forth, There were other noteworthy cultural activities then, created and carried out by local ple. Instead of having community con- cert associations bringing in out- side talent, we had local groups presenting such concerts using the services of talented Oshawa singers.

OCVI ORCHESTRA We know that there is today a |fine orchestra in the making im the Oshawa secondary schools. We hope it will in the near future reach the status of that which was organized at the OCVI in the |thirties by Leonard M. Richer, {then director of musie in the |schools, His orchestra acquired |province - wide fame, to the ex- |tent of being invited to play at the annual educational econ. {ventions in Toronto. There were |some great young musicians in the orchestra at that time, boys like Kelvin James, Johnny Rob- ertson, Edouard Bartlett, Henry {Richer, Jim Coxson and others, some of whom have since then made their name in the world of music. May we hope that the {present orchestral effort in our | secondary schools reach the same stature as was attained in these days. | We have reviewed some of the {outstanding cultural activities {had an able assistant in Leonard which had a popular appeal to the people of Oshawa in the days of An-|20 to 30 years ago. They are mem- |ories of yesteryear, Why do we {not have them today? Or at least, |why are they not given the public {support that they were given |years ago? Perhaps this was be- cause of the changed way of life to which we have referred. These were the days of the silent movies, The talkies, with their musical extravaganzas, had yet to come. Radio was then far from what it has been in recent years. It was only in its infancy, There was no television to keep people glued to chairs in their own homes. Most of the better enter- tainment in these days had to be made by the people of the com- munity, and they utilized all of the native talent available to do it Will these days ever come back? There can be varying opin- ions on this. Will the expenditure of $50,000,000 by the government of Canada create a great awaken- ing of cultural activity in places e Oshawa? We doubt it. Cul- ture is not a thing that can be imposed on a people. It has to come from within. And if Oshawa culture is, as has been suggested, at a low level in these modern days, it can be revived only if the people of the community are will- ing to support a revival, only if those who are leaders in the various cultural fields in Oshawa are willing to follow through their efforts with the zeal and earnest- ness of those who were associated with such activities in the period we have tried to review.
