JO'S JOURNAL By JO ALDWINCKLE WOMEN'S EDITOR OF THE TIMES With icy winds biting our ears and reddening our noses this hasn't been a very pretty week. However, the beauti- ful flowers and cupids in the florists' windows remind us that the season of hearts and flowers is upon us. 1 am making up my list of Valentines. I would like to send a big, rosy heart to Mrs, A. P. Ful- ton who retired this week as president of the Women's Wel- fare League after a strenuous and dedicated term of office. The League, a comparatively small group of women, is responsible for the operation of Simcoe Hall Settlement House, Simcoe Hall Boys' Club (Eastview) and the Crippled Children's School and Treatment Centre. Although many committees and hundreds of volunteers make the operation possible, there still has to be a key woman and Mrs. Fulton has been just that and she fully deserved the recognition accorded her at the annual general meeting in the presenta- tion of the Golden Man and Boy Award from the Boys' Clubs of Canada. She is certainly the first woman in Osh- 10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, February 6, 1965 Trousseau Tea And Showers Honor Miss Carol Edwards Mrs, William Edwards held a trousseau tea last Saturday for her daughter, Miss Carol Eliza- beth Edwards whose marriage to Mr. Stephen McMath is to take place tomorrow afternoon in King Street United Church.|refreshments were served. leen Clary and her mother Mrs. Rupert Clary with Mrs. Kenneth Smith entertained friends of the bride at her home.

Before coming to Oshawa in 1951, Mrs. Fulton worked for the St. Andrew's Youth Society in Montreal and felt a kindred spirit at Sim- coe Hall. We're lucky that she came, and stayed. I would like to send a bou- quet to Mrs. J. G. Carter who has been. the guiding spirit of the gift shop oper- ated by the Women's Auxili- ary, Oshawa General Hospi- tal, at the hospital. All those who have experienced the sisted. Mrs. J. E. Tilling and Mrs. Rudy Pine, aunts of the bride, surprised her at the for- mer's home where relatives en- joyed a pleasant evening.

Supper and Dance was being patients and all the patients who have received them, surely owe a vote of thanks " to Mrs. Carter who headed " eens the committee long before the gift shop was a reality. This was a big, new venture and she has made it a success from every angle and has given of herself untiringly for eight years. Proceeds from the gift shop are devoted to hospital needs, draperies, furni- ture, equipment, the list is endless, and yet the auxiliary never fails to meet its pledges in thousands of dollars. Mrs. Carter's energy has been the mainspring in this endeavor. I would like to send a dozen red roses to Mrs. C. D, Russell who retired last month as president of the Women's Auxiliary, Oshawa General Hospital. This was Mrs. Rus- sell's second term as president.. In 1957 Mrs. Russell was first vice-president. The late Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin held the office of presi- dent for over fifty years and, due to her long winter ab- sences, the role of first vice-president was an arduous one. In effect she was acting president, receiving the presiden- tial directive by remote control. Following Mrs. McLaugh- lin's death in January, 1958, Mrs. Russell became the second president in the auxiliary's half-century history. She served the constitutional two-year term and then became president again in 1964, a tribute to her fine leadership. Mrs. Russell is also president of the board of directors of the Victorian Order of Nurses. I would like to send a nosegay of sweet violets to Mrs. G. D. Conant for the comprehensive report she gave at at the open meeting of the Oshawa Historical Society and her plea for the life of the old Robinson House. Mrs, Conant was the first president of the Society and is a foun- tain of knowledge of the early settlers in this area. If we wantonly destroy the past, we are robbing future Cana- dians of their heritage.' 'Only those who respect the past, deserve the future." (Author please?) An orchid is on my list for Miss Helen Carscallen who addressed the Business and Professional Women's Club last week. She is one of two program organizers for "Take Thirty", a national, daily television program. This past summer she spent six weeks in Japan organizing the filming of interviews and documentaries for "Take Thirty". She travelled a thousand miles for the Public Affairs Depart- ment of the CBC. This was actually a return visit to the Orient for Miss Carscallen since she was born in West China of missionary parents and lived there until she was eleven years of age. Her parents are the Reverend Dr. C. R. Carscallen, a for- mer principal of Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, and Mrs. Carscallen. Miss Carscallen is a graduate of Victoria University in honor sociology. She went into social work in 1940 and during the last three years of the war was director. of rec- reation in a large munitions plant. After working eleven years at the Toronto Children's Aid Society, she joined the staff of the Public Affairs Department of the CBC. She is currently on a committee of the Canadian Asso- ciation for Adult Education, planning projects for the con- tinuing education of women and is also on the public rela- tions committee for the Canadian Conference on Aging (January 1966). I would like to send a geranium to every "Shovelling Housewife" who has written to me or telephoned me fol- lowing my bleat about the ice and snow-covered sidewalks. A city bylaw states that every person is responsible for his own bit of sidewalk. Extenuating circumstances can make this an impossibility, So I ask you, what is the use of a bylaw that cannot be enforced? Could you fine an old- age pensioner with a heart condition for not shovelling his walk? I am informed that in the Maritimes and "out West' where money isn't as plentiful as it is here, town and city councils clear the sidewalks as well as the roads, so why can't we? And since this is the "jet" age let's forget the spades and shovels and see what automation can do. I would like to send a boutonniere to Mr. Wilfred Steme- roff who was partly responsible for bringing the Israeli Art Exhibition to Oshawa. The exhibit moved out February 1 to Brantford and Mr. Stemeroff estimates that some 800 viewers in Oshawa visited it here at the McLaughlin Library. I would like to send a poppy to every member of the Chinese community to wish them a Happy New Year which ' they celebrated on Wednesday. Now, according to their custom, they are all one year older and the Year of the Snake begins. I would like to send a carnation to every member 'of the cast of "Life With Father" and their director, Mr. James Palmer, at McLaughlin Collegiate. His cast came up with a creditable performance and the set was highly commendable. For young people of today who cannot imagine what a 'heavy parent' was really like, they man- aged most successfuly to capture the atmosphere of a regimented Edwardian home. What ebout a sprig of heather for George Chuvalo to bring him better luck next time? He wasn't down and he wasn't out and he showed us that he could take it on the chin. ; Note for nature lovers: Lakeview Park has thrown a cape of stiff, brocaded white taffeta about her shoulders and her rippling, blue chiffon gown is embroidered with fleecy white medallions. : A big brown owl has been watching me from the maple tree, and today, a muskrat crossed my path, frozen out of home perhaps,--but what a thick brown fur coat he had, po nylon in that, Embassy protocol precludes personal relationships in foreign|i countries, but members of the External Affairs Department do get about. Recently Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Johnston returned from a two-year term in Tehran and have been visiting Mrs. Johnston's sister, Mrs. Thomas Lesley and Mr. Lesley, Bond street. Both Mr. and Mrs. Johnston are former Oshawa residents. Some years ago Mr. Johnston operated a hairdressing salon on Simcoe street south and Mrs. Johnston, the former Miss Helen Hutchinson worked in General Tehran, lying in the shelter of arid mountains in the north of Iran, is a cosmopolitan city of over two hundred thousand population, Mr. Johnston ex- plained. A key city in the|,. Middle East, western nations maintain embassies there and the oil and petroleum com- panies also have established large offices with European and American personnel. Oil is Iran's life blood. The valuable natural product -is con- trolled by an "Oil Consortium," Mr. Johnston explained. The oil companies operate their own wells but a royalty is paid to the Iranian government on every barrel that is exported.
