-JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE large were there and I felt that the program had ed for them. With the ever pacar of the a rance of Seiji Ozawa, the ai music direc- saa phony, due to serious illness in his family, six ticket holders requested their money back but this was as nothing compared with the same situation in Hamilton the night before when $300 was refunded. It is absurd to suppose that an orchestra such as Toronto Symphony, brought to the crest of excellence by its director, is going to disintegrate when he is absent. Although we missed Mr. Ozawa's nimble vitality, the deputy director, Niklaus Wyss, was in complete control of his 95-piece orchestra which responded to every emo- tion he conveyed to them. Front Line Players Tt occurred to me, listening to this great surge of * music in a hockey arena, how like an orchestra, under its director, is to a sports team under its coach. Every individual counts. Each member undertakes hours of train- ing and practice for the co-ordination of mind and body. There is tension and physical endurance. There must be adherence to the rules and team work. Next time, and there will be a next time next year, come on in, sports fans, and see how another kind of team plays. With this regard here is a point I would like to make. By leaving its home base and camp followers in Toronto and giving concerts all over the province, the Toronto Symphony is affording the opportunity of hearing the world's great music, live, to many for the first time. The programmers should remember this. They should always include a composition that is easily understand- able or recognizable for its theme; something that the uninitiated can hang on to in a sea of sound or else he will submerge and be lost. Forget about the critics' com- ments, "hackneyed", "'pot-boiler", "schmaltz'" and so on; far better to fill the auditorium with the musically unedu- cated and send them home, humming an aria with the thought "I must pick up a record of that". This is the way music appreciation grows. There were a few minor distractions and late-comers 'was one of them. A conductor must wait for that moment of absolute quiet for his musicians to ascertain their pitch. With slurching of shoes and clacking of heels this is im- pesca Latecomers should be made to wait until the first He-Men In Homespun Our well-dressed attendants made the symphony stage hands look like lumberjacks. Do they always wear their boldest plaid jackets when they come out to move the grand piano? The heating arrangements hummed and squeaked a bit but this became less obvious as the spell of the music took over. Just one word to the "'first- timers", -- you don't applaud between movements. No matter how exuberant you feel, you wait until the whole ition is completed and the ductor gives you the tip that that's it. air is.still full of music, There were two balls, St. Ani and the Rotary President's Ball, and a gala dinner-dance, the Oshawa Builders' ladies' night, all last night and tonight the Knights of Columbus are hold- ing their 8th annual Polish night in Columbus Hall which will rock to the rhythm of the polka and mazurka and revive to the aroma of kapusta and spiced meats. All this revelry makes the memory of "Portraits of the Past" somewhat passive. It was an enchanting pan- rama of the women who came, lived and died in a hard, mew land. By their courage and endurance they set an example to light the way for successive generations. The authentic gowns were extremely beautiful and St. Mark's Anglican Women deserve their own round of applause for undertaking and accomplishing a demanding project in staging the historical pageant.

Under the chairmanship of Cyril A. Powell, volunteers in- tend to see that every patient in the Ontario Hospital, Whitby, will "receive a personal gift at Christmas. Before this pro- gram was inaurgurated, there were thousands of chronically ill patients who received not a single card or present from outside the hospital. Local merchants service clubs and church groups will be asked to contribute and in- dividual are asked toy bu a gift for a mental patient while do- ing their own Christmas shop- ping. Volunteers will sort and wrap the gifts, sometimes combining two or three small ones to make one attractive gift package, then list the contents on a label. NURSES WILL DISTRIBUTE About December 21, the pack- ages will be delivered to the hospital where nurses will se- lect appropriate packages for each patient and write his name on a gift card. Then at Christmas parties, every pat- ient will receive at least one personalized gift. by.

For women: clothing, jewellery. cosmetics and smoking things. For general gifts, books, games, art materials, stationery, tow- els and thong slippers.

At this time of year I find myself thinking of this, as I try to evaluate the statements peo- be purposefu] in the framework of their lives. These are the people who usually state: "If I don't do something constructive, I feel that I've wasted my day." On the other side, we have ple make about the opportuni- ties (or lack of opportunities) that come with each new day. On one side, we have the posi- tive people who always have something to show for each day, negative types who, by their own admission, label a day a failure before it even begins. And their unhappy statement runs: 'I hate to get up in the morning. Each day seems to regardless of how large or offer so little, I never have any- small it is, or how hard it is to thing to show for it."

Because I meet people every week who do live by these words, even in a restless age, I decided to record the answers I received from six people-- each' one a different type-- when I asked them at the end of one day what they had to show for that day. Each an- Swer, as you will see, added up to a different view of the new opportunities each morning brings. Here are the six answers to my question: "T presented an idea to my boss for improving office pro- cedures.' "T spent the day with my chil- dren, doing things for them and with them. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time."' ma applied for a secretariai job." BOUGHT CURTAINS "I went out and bought new curtains and improved the looks of .a room." "I made the decision to make ~ rounds and look for a better job." "I went to visit a sick friend, something I have been wanting to do for weeks." The actions recorded in the foregoing statements may not be the kind that would give you the positive feeling of having something to show for each day. But they are varied enough to indicate the chances that exist to accomplish something mean- ingful between each dawn and dusk. And they are also diverse enough to show that no day will ever quite fail you--unless in your approach to it you fal! short of using it well.
