BY Hope you were cautious yesterday, stepping around ladders and steady with the salt. For the superstitious, the combination of Friday, the week's unluckiest day and 13, the symbol of bad luck, is a _ culmination fraught with dire possibili- ties. It would have been rash to take chances when so many exciting things are happening or about to hap- pen. Can you feel the centen- nial tempo stepping up? We have come through the trough that follows the crest of New Year celebrations and now we are down to business with many organ- izations installing execu- tives for the coming year. First on their agenda is the announcement of centennial projects that have been en- visaged and explored but not made public until com- mittees could be set up to put the ideas into effect. The first group to cele- brate Centennial Year and the only one to hold a cere- mony on New Year's Day especialiy for 1967 was the Polish Boy Scouts and Girl Guides: who invited provin- cial and civic dignitaries to a patriotic gathering in Chopin Park around a blaz- ing bonfire. Following speeches and a fireworks display, the company pa- raded to St. Hedwig's Church where a 16-foot cross of B.C. fir, was dedi- toni Bagsik, parish priest and chaplain. The young people, smartly and rever- ently laid wreaths at the foot of the cross in memory of the Fathers of Confeder- ation. Here was an expression of gratitude and faith in their country, nobly ex- pressed by children of new Canadians. What were the old Canadians doing? ANOTHER CENTENNIAL project is now on view in the National: Trust: office; a series of reproductions of of original paintings of the official floral emblems of Canada's ten provinces and two territories. A reception attended by Mayor Ernest Marks and some of the aldermen, elected repre- sentatives and well - known personages, was held to meet the artist, Walter J. Coucill, a man of many parts. Chatting with him I learn- ed that after graduating from the Ontario College of Art he served with the RCAF during World War Two and later became edi- tor of "'Wings". In 1945 he travelled extensively in Canada working on the re- habilitation of air force personnel. He retraced his steps in 1964, visiting every prov- ince and each territory in order to carry out the com- mission of painting the offi- cial flower of each. Work- ing closely with Canadian botanists to ensure that all details were accurate, it took two years to complete the work. The reproductions will be on view to the pub- lic in the Simcoe street south office throughout the year. _ ism JO'S JOURNAL JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times The non- objective de- votees took a back seat on this occasion' A general comment was: "I like that style; I--know -what~_I'm looking at."' Honest, any- way. OFF THE SPRING- BOARD of visual art we plunge into the swirling waters of drama and tradi- tion. Oshawa Little Theatre will be presenting its sec- ond play of the season, "Roots", next week. A nat- uralistic play, it is as raw in its realism and broad in its humor as the Norfolk countryside in which it is set. Meanwhile has anyone any "long-johns" in a fair state of repair that he is not wearing? Jim Palmer wouldn't expect you to doff your set, even in this mild spell, but he does require them for his student actors, deep into rehearsals for Stalag 17. See it at Mce- Laughlin Collegiate Janu- ary 26, 27, 28. Set in a prisoner of war camp, the true story was made into a popular movie, enveloping all the human emotions, strung with ten- sion. The boys are taking to their roles like ducks to water and it speaks well for the rising generation that there is no resentment in a German - Canadian, Allan' Monks, demeaning himself as a "'kraut" or a Jewish - Canadian, Barry Segal, playing the part of a hated SS officer. Gerry Ad- dington has the hero role played by William Holden; Norman Ottaway, the camp clown, and John Slemko, the barracks leader. Shake the mothballs out of those reach-me-downs and help the prisoners escape. SCOTS OF THE COM- MUNITY are eagerly an- ticipating the annual Burns' Supper, to be held next Fri- day night with due pomp and ceremony in the UAW Hall. The toast to the '"Im- mortal Memory" will be proposed by a son of Fal- kirk, Scotland, the Honor- able T. D. Douglas, leader of the New Democratic Party, whose visit to Osh- awa is in itself a significant event. Andrew (Andy) Rankin of the 48th High- landers, who has won recog- nition for the fine style of his performance, will ad- dress the haggis. It prom- ises to be a "braw, bricht nicht" for the Scots and a delight to those who enjoy a brilliant after - dinner speaker. The Sound of Music is still ringing in our ears. Streudel and schnitzel and echmalz though it may be, the film is exquisite escap- and the University Women's Club held a most successful premiere. Every- one went home singing. It is ironic to recall, now, that the von Trapp Singers near- ly came to Oshawa. They were tentatively booked through the Community Concerts when the Lord's Day Alliance dropped the axe on Sunday concerts.
