There will be another} on April 15, at the North Osh- awa Community Centre on the Nonquon Road. This year. we are fortunate enough to have two Sports Chairmen. These fel- lows will play a big role in our sports program. | Eldon MacKay is on for a} second year and Don Patterson| is co-chairman. We are about to start our an- nual membership drive in April and to everyone we would like to say: "We need your support." If the children are going to have sports and games, a dollar per family is not much to give if its keeping the children off the streets and giving them a safe place to play. So when we knock on your door please support your park. This membership also entitles your child to a free treat at our park opening. Our boundaries are as follows: South. to Rossland Road, but only North side of the street; East to Wilson Road and in- cluding Sherwood Heights; North to the north of Camp Samac; West to Oshawa Creek. It is also a bylaw of our con- stitution that all children play- ing hockey, softball or any game in the association must hold membership to the park, We are now starting to work on our park opening. We feel we have one of the best parades and fireworks displays at our park opening and hope to make this a bigger and better one this year. Any park that may be in- terested in entering a float in our parade or even a group of children just to represent your park, please contact me at this number (Shirl Williams 723- 6394). The parade starts at 7:00 p.m. at Dr. S. J. Phillips School and comes up Simcoe Street to Nonquon Road and into the park. Plan to attend. There will be pony rides, air- plane rides, go-cart rides, car rides, bingo, fish pond, games, and also a refreshment booths and many other things. After the parade there will be a baton display by Miss Irene Harvey's Academy. Miss Diane Shaw will present a fire baton display be- fore our fireworks display. The big, big day is June 10, 1967. Jon Vickers Urges Canada Develop Talent At Home By DAVE PIKE NEW YORK (CP) --'T think that's shocking," said Jon Vickers. Vickers was wiping makeup off his face after seven straight exhausting hours re- hearsing his title role in Peter Grimes at the Metropolitan Opera. "It's shocking that less than a tenth of one per cent... of the gross national product in Canada is used for cultural development and artistic en- deavor."' It had been a long day. He wanted to get the makeup off, get dressed and get out on the street. "Canadians are so busy run- ning around searching for identity --such an inferiority complex! "Oh, look at Bobby Goulet. Look at Jon Vickers. "Tt doesn't matter a bit about Bobby Goulet, about ma It's high time, said the 40- year-old tenor, that Canadians took a look in their own back yard and began cultivating what was growing there -- more Goulets, more Vickers. RECEIVED DEGREE Vickers becomes a serious, impatient man when he talks about Canada and culture, as he did recently at a seminar at Bishop's University, Len- noxville, Que., where he re- ceived an honorary doctorate of laws. The production of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes -- the first at the Met in 20 years-- in which the five-foot-nine, barrel-chested Canadian sang to the usual critics' plaudits, was directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie and designed by Tanya Moiesewitsch. Both are well known to Canadians for their accomplishments at the Stratford Shakespearean Fes- tival. More recently at the Met, Vickers sang with Teresa Stratas, the Toronto native who also has established a strong reputation in the opera houses of Europe and the United States, in Tchai- kovsky's Queen of Spades. This is a busy year for Vickers, for whom opera is "the most complete of all the performing arts." As usual, his schedule calls Vickers is this generation's most promising candidate for heldentenor -- heroic tenor-- in Richard Wagner operas, but he thinks "it is an enor- mous mistake for an artist to limit himself to any one com- poser or style or language." The Prince Albert, Sask., native, who in 1955 planned to quit opera if he didn't become a star within a year, is much in demand, from London to San Francisco, Vienna to Chi- cago, His next stop is Salzburg, Austria, where he will sing in Die Walkuere in the new Easter festival. Then follow four performances of Brit- ten's War Requiem with the New York Philharmonic, the lead in Otello with the Met and a Carnegie Hall recital April 30 in conjunction with Canada Week here. Carmen follows in London and then he takes a rest with his wife and four children in June at his farm south of Orangeville, Ont. He sings Otello again in July with the Montreal Sym- phony and in August he'll re- turn to Salzburg. He'll be in San Francisco in September, Vienna in October, New York in November and, next Jan- uary, he sings in a new pro- duction of Aida at the Met. "If you can't take the pace, you're not a pro." Vickers believes in intensive preparation for a role. For example: 'J don't think one can do Otello unless he has read the works o fShakespeare. I did anyway. I don't mean to pro- fess I'm a blessed professor of literature." Vickers, who first made his name with the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in Lon- don, says: "I've refused to succumb to the temptation to use the oper- atic medium as something to glorify myself. I'm not inter- ested in a note, but in what the note says in the drama." Vickers can be most solemn about opera, such as: "T don't think it is within my power or art to change the hearts of men. But opera can throw a glaring light on society and some of its cor- ruptness and injustices and make people think about them." for about 65 performances, | half of them in Europe and half in the United States. "TJ don't have any desire to go around the world singing four or five roles. I sing in five languages, 15 or 16 roles, I guess: I never counted them up." D) CANADA FILMS Canadian films are making a strong entry into eastern Euro- pean countries according to re- cent commercial deals reported by the international division of the National Film Boar. | » « «She Was By JOHN KASS Garbed in the mod-iest mod fashions or sharp conservative suits, nearly 2,000 teens attended the first big youth dance of the year at Civic Auditorium last Saturday. An overcrowded stage, poor delivery by some bands and a meagre crowd reaction, seemed to put a damper on the atmos- phere, "The bands would have been a lot better if they hadn't fooled around so much," said Giles DeHetre of Henry Street High. "R.K. and the Associates" brought the only real applause from the crowd that night. "R.K. had the only Soul group here"! said one McLaughlin student. The Tripp] the Midknights and the Imperials made a good ef- fort to please the crowd and drew these comments from some who attended. "I like the cute organist in the Tripp,' squealed one girl; "They just haven't got the sound tonight and I hope they come back."

Yorkville recording artist Susan Taylor emceed the show and seemed to be in great "shape" although most people would have liked to hear her ing. About the entire performance last Saturday, there were these reactions: "The bands were great but the kids wouldn't co-operate," said Kris Wawrzyniak. "Other dances in this area have been much better than this," said Jasmine Rymdzio- nek.
