'By JOHN GAULT When I was a small child, attending Saturday afternoon matinees, it was fashionable and natural to adore the swash- buckling. hero, and despite the mustachioed villain. It followed, of course, that the ultimate victory of good (the one in the white cowboy hat) over evil (black hat), should 'be followed by cheers, and whistles, and applause. Then, unfortunately, I was forced to grow up, and at eve- ning movies, with adult audi- ences, the tumult and the shout- ing was absent. After all, we decided, it's only a movie. So who cheered when Montgomery Clift stabbed that devil incar- nate, Ernest Borgnine in "From Here To Eternity'? Who clap- ped when a beaten, bleeding (Marlon Brando staggered back to work in "On Water- front"? i . Then the impossible happen- ed. James Bond, the inimitable and indestructible Secret Serv- ice Agent arrived in Toronto in "From Russia With Love." A huge audience ined up along F|two blocks of Yonge street to Z\see the Ian Fleming hero in action. They poured into the Loew's Downtown theatre for the late evening performance. They sat enthralled as scarred, crag- faced Sean Connery put on a demonstration of lust and vio- lence. Then they applauded. They clapped! They cheered! Con- nery, as Bond was involved in a struggle to the death on the Orient Express with a lunatic killer named Red Grant (Rob- ert Shaw), who of course: was despatched that criminal society to end all criminal so- cieties, SPECTRE, Held captive, Bond foiled his antagonist into opening a suit- case full of teargas. He knock- ed a silencer-equipped Walther PPK to the floor. Then they battled, using a mixture of Judo, Karate, and brute strength. It was a fine fray, lasting almost five minutes of film time. As Grant strangled Bond with a bit of wire con- cealed in his watch, the , in- destructible one snapped a knife from a secret hiding place and cut his adversary to ribbons. A hearty, all-inclusive round of clapping swept the stoic halls of the theatre. I have never ex- perienced this before in an adult audience, and it makes me wonder, once more: 'What! is this thing called Bond." He is, likely, the ultimate in escape. The man every woman worships, and every man en- vies. The Ian Fleming novels, gamut from utter despair to utter ecstacy. ' But the greatest of Bond's triumphs, I think, must be his inducement of an adult, ma- ture audience to cheer his victories.

SMALLEST BOXLA TOWN IN WORLD Brooklin Vows Power Despite OLA Ruling By CLIFF GORDON Brooklin Senior Lacrosse Club have decided to carry on despite the fact that the Ontario La- crosse Association has failed to back up their demands for play- er Joe Todd. The Brooklin team, who. have been the working back-bone of the Senior series for the past three years have got 'nothing| but dirt' so far this year. They have had no backing from the governing body. commonly known as the Ontario Lacrosse Association. As secretary-treasurer of the team, I know from where I speak. Brooklin had 14 players from Peterborough and district last year on their league champ- ionship team. It included the one and qnly Pat Baker, two-time winner of the Harry Lumley trophy for the outstanding goalie in Senior Lacrosse, and also one Joe Todd. The latter named player was still junior age last year when bought by the Brook- lin team from Hastings Jrs. who were,in financial distress. This year Todd is over the junior age limit and the Brooklin team felt within their rights in claim- ing him since they had bought him last year. However this was refused at a meeting of the OLA held o1 Friday night at which four members of the Brooklin executive along with local OLA representative on the executive., Ivan Davie attended. Despite the pleas of mercy and con- sideration by Mr. Davie and the Brooklin team the OLA still dealt with a deaf ear. They awarded Todd to Peterborough. This was one player that Brooklin really felt. was their property. However, things are not al. as bad as they might look. Manager Morton in his fresh- man year, along with his rookie coach, ha: been working over- time in aft effort to. get a good sound team organized. They, along with the executive of the Brooklin team, fans in this area deserve to have a senior*team™since they have supported them so well at the box office and in sponsorships. Last year no less then 11 men feel that the and their companies in Whitby, Oshawa and Brooklin chipped in to help the local cause. The Brooklin entry in senior lacross* comes from the small- est town in the world with a senior entry, and the smallest town ever to win a senior la- crosse championship.

'Ambulance' Yearly Report Impressive To Members (Contributed) At the St. John Ambulance executive meeting held Wed- nesday, April 29, 'a most im- pressive report of Brigade ar- tivites was given by the Su- perintendent, Ron Hawkins. Since the first of the year the Brigade has attended at 39 pub- lic events, 32 of them in Whitby Arena. This meant 225 hours of voluntary service by the mem- bers, in addition to three hours of training held each week. Also, during the past three months 173 Whitby: residents have been trained in artificial respiration, and a first aid pro- gram arranged to assist in the training of Scouts and Guides. Brigade members are pres- ently attending a Civil Defence course in the handling of casual- ties, which covers stretcher handling and transportation of casualties under all conditions. This course is available through the co-operation of Mr. J. Gar- rett, SRO, of the Oshawa EMO, who made all facilities avail- able to the local members. Mrs, Dorothy Calder reported \the Girl Cadet Division have jall completed their first aid training and are now taking home nursing instruction under two nurses from: the ge ig Hospital, Mrs. Hara and Mrs. Reid.
