JOS JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE 'Women's Editor of The Times "Please to remember the fifth of November; Gun- powder, treason and plot. I see no reason why Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot." So runs a 17th century ditty 7 is revived every year in England when chil- tiren celebrate Guy Fawkes Day with bonfires and fire- crackers. It's a common sight to see boys going through the streets with figures made of sacking and stuffed with paper and shavings, which they burn. "Penny for the guy, mister," they used to beg, Today, instead of a penny, it's probably a "'tanner" (sixpence) but they still chant the old doggerel: "Guy, Guy, stick 'im in the eye; Hang him from the lamp-post and there let him die." From these effigies has come the word "guy" used to describe anything of a queer appearance and the Ameri- can connotation of a good fellow or a bad fellow. _ Who was this Guy Fawkes whose effigy is burned "every year? Lofty Aspirations He was one of the chief plotters in a plan to blow up the Houses -of Parliament in London in 1604, He was one of a group of Roman Catholic gentlemen oppressed by the anti-Catholic laws, who schemed to blow up the -- lords and King James 1 when he opened par- jament. Fawkes was born in Yorkshire and was an ardent Catholic who had won fame fighting for the Spaniards at the capture of Calais. He was drawn 'into the Gunpowder Plot to carry out the practical details. The conspirators rented a house adjoining the Houses of Parliament and dug their way through to a cellar be- neath the Houses of Lords where they planted 36 barrels of gunpowder overlaid with firewood and set fuses. The fatal day was set for November 5, 1605. Someone, however, wrote a letter to a friend, telling him to keep away from Parliament on that day. Search was made and on the night of November 4, Fawkes and his gunpowder were discovered red-handed. y Fawkes showed great bravery. Only after the last degree of torture did he reveal the names of his fellow conspirators, most of whom were already known. On Jan- uary 31, 1606, he was dragged on a hurdle (symbolized today by the carts on which the schoolboys prop their guy) to the Houses of Parliament and executed in the forecourt. : Tom Died A Traitor I will spare you the gory details but I know them well because implicated in the plot was a blighted twig on my family tree, one Thomas Percy. When the plot was uncovered Thomas Percy and Robert Catesby, the insti- gator, were sought out and hotly pursued by the King's Men and both were killed by the same musket-ball. The cost of Thomas Percy's guilt was paid by his innocent kinsman, the ninth Earl of Northumberland who was sentenced to a fine of £30,000 and imprisonment for life. He spent 15 years a prisoner in the Tower of London, filling his days with the study of astronomy, astrology and scientific experiments, especially in the distilling of spirits and liquor. God Bless the ninth earl. He died in 1632 ow the anniversary of the Gunpowder Pilot! Such desires to blow up the law-makers are still with us. On Wednesday, May 18, this year, a nondescript man wandered into the House of Commons at Ottawa with a home-made bomb on his person. He had the same idea as Guy Fawkes, no doubt, but his timing was out and he destroyed himself. He was Paul Joseph Chartier, whose name is long since forgotten.

Size Up The Situation Civic elections are on the horizon and before you make the fateful marks, be informed. This year there will be no excuse for those who complain that they do not know the candidates nor their way of thinking. For the benefit of the electorate five open forums have been set up at which candidates for election have been invited to speak and answer questions. The Lake Vista Ratepayers' Asso- ciation is holding three such meetings at St. Philip's Church, November 24, 27 and 30. The Oshawa Jaycees have established November 23, in the 5th floor, council chamber at City Hall, and the Oshawa Kinsmen Club ex- tends an invitation to a public meeting in the Kinsmen Community Centre, Deceniber 1, at 8.00 p.m. No fuss, no muss, no bother.

' Volunteer Work Sparks Interest In Many Fields By ROBERTA ROESCH "There would be something missing from my life if I were not doing volunteer work," said Mrs. Velma Jean Clary of Winston-Salem, N.C., who is a volunteer extraordinaire. "In our city, the arts and edu- cation are concerns of the entire community and have been for a long time," said Mrs. Clary. She is the wife of the assistant superintendent at the local chil- dren's home and the mother of four children. "Our arts council, a federated group of 29 organizations, is so involved in art, culture and edu- cation that I don't think a per- son could live here and not be connected with volunteer activi- ties in some way. "When I married," she said, 'Tt was hardly over the city limits before I started doing volunteer work, I began with church work, which is probably natural, since we live on the campus of a_ church-related home for children. INTERESTS MULTIPLIED "Many other activities re- sulted from my. initial interest in church work," continued Mrs. Clary. She does folk danc- ing, sings in oratorios and acts in festival plays. She performs these activities as ably as she works on committees, conducts a meeting or serves on a board. "After I had started with church work because it was such a natural interest for me, I added PTA participation to entered school. "Later my own interest in drama, art and education, plus my desire for a community where the arts would be avail- able. to youngsters, prompted the beginning of my arts council work." still-clean it never does on the eve of de- parture. And into a bag goes lingerie and other items to keep them safely out of contact with any dirty pieces.
