They're a tight-knit, dedicated little group of Oshawa men who take one night off weekly for a specific purpose -- to teach themselves to speak on their feet before a critical audience. It is no atmosphere for the super-sensitive speaker fearful of constructive criticism under such headings as Grammar, Subject Material, Diction, Ges- ticulation, Modulation and Enun- ciation. The Toastmasters pull few punches when one of their members stands up to orate, but President Douglas Tideman ex- plained: "In my-six.years with the club, I have only known three or four members to resign because of what they deemed rov treatment from our critics.' The Oshawa club, founded in 1956 and recipient of its charter from Toastmasters International the following spring, includes such local alumni as Terence V. Kelly, Victor McAdam, Joseph Pinto, Ron Wilson and Allan Reddock (now of Strathroy, Ont., who was primarily re- sponsible for its local birth), Charles Roote, Harry Baker, Grant Warrenar and Frank Mooney. Kelly won the Toastmasters Ontario oratorical contest, but was later defeated in Rochester by a contestant who won the International contest. ("My Toastmaster lessons were in- valuable because they quickly taught me to accept criticism with humility," says Mr. Kelly.) Membership in Toastmasters is not restricted to any segment of the community. Its members represent all races and religious creeds. They include builders, salesmen, laborers, doctors, door-to-door salesmen and mar- ket gardeners. Toastmasters have clubs in enton, Peter ic gh and Port Hope, as well as Toronto, where they have several groups. A Toastmaster can _ eventually learn to speak effectively in public, but that is only part of the program. He also studies and practices such subjects as Parliamentary Procedure, plus Be ley.

STARTED IN 1924 The idea of Toastmasters) clubs began back in 1924 in the brain of Ralph C. Smedley of Santa Ana, Cal. Since then, Smedley has seen his idea spread to almost every U.S.A. state, Canada, the Hawaiian Islands, Scotland and South Africa. Headquarters is now in Santa Ana. There is a fixed program to bear out the club slogan: "Toastmasters is more than a club -- it is an education." The neophyte orator first goes through what is known as basic fers sionally to local charitable cam-) pace 12 di masters hold free-swinging public speaking sessions during which members' speeches are constructively criticized. I. is: 2 members services occa- paigns. Members serve as critics of each speaker. After every talk, certain appointed "evalutators'"' take the speaker's efforts apart in constructive fashion and their comments are written into his manual for him to brood over later. After a member has com- pleted his 12 assignments in a manner satisfactory to his critics, the home office at Santa Ana sends him a "certificate of merit" attesting to his achieve- ment.

Although he admits to some government experience -- he once was a postman for three |months -- the six-foot-four film star says it left him without any burning desire to become U.S. postmaster-general. "Politics bores me, and so does talking about it," he said, smiling. "I'm not interested in becoming a political candidate at any level." What is Rock's big goal then, if not public service? "T want to be a damn good jactor,"" he said, "and I don't |think I'm a damn good actor lyet."', | Whatever his ultimate profes- | ional ranking may be, as a per- |former Hudson has been one of jthe most successful in the his- |tory of the film industry.

ON Ralph Snow and Joseph Seitz, new co-owners and operators of the Spruce Villa Hotel in Whitby, will have Danny Couglan and _ his troupe back for the fourth consecutive week _ starting Monday night. There has never been a more popular entertainer at the Spruce than Danny, whose versatility extends from spirited song solos to trumpet renditions, all of which is well punctuated with a slick comedy line that keeps the patrons in a happy frame of mind. Couglan gets able assis- tance from Carrie Loma, an attractive Montreal chan- teuse who sings in English and French. Miss Loma gives the act a nice variety twist. Her song renditions nightly draw solid applause. Couglan has constantly dis- played his strong drawing power during his current visit. The management has in- augurated nightly dance ses- sions for patrons. GEORGIAN MOTOR HOTEL unten |muster the energy." \ General-manager W. Bruce Street of the Georgian Hotel's posh Vintage Room knows a good act when he sees one-- that's why he is keeping Adam Timoon over for an additional week starting on Monday night. This will be the third con- secutive room at the Geor- gian for the handsome and versatile guitarist who is as much at home with the clas- | sics as he is modern music. Timoon's showmanship is impressive, but his strongest quality is his delightful voice which usually keeps the Vin- tage Room patrons begging for more. He is also a record- ing and radio siar. HOTEL GENOSHA The name of the act in Harry's Hideaway of the Hotel Genosha next week will be The Feminine Touch, an all-girl quartette of Rock N' Roll artists.

The "Andy" Niccols Trio will be on hand with their rocking Calypso rhythms from the West Indies -- for patrons whose musical tastes veer in other directions, the trio also plays Rock N' Roll and Country and Western selections with spirited gusto.
