CHRISTMAS PARTY Sister Giselle Pilon and her singing group, Les Tournesols, from Corpus Christi School in Oshawa will be performing at the Whitby Arts Station Christmas Party Dec. 16 Youth theatre plays are Dec. 8 The Whitby Theatre Company, Youth< Group, is hard at work rehearsing for three one-act plays, to be pre sented December 8, 9, and 10. Arlhnugh ' tne Youth Group has been in existence for five years, this year is the first time the group has been divided into two age groups, from 9 to 13 years of age,and 13 years and up. This was necessary due to the increas- ing membership. The younger group will be performing in "Father Christ- mas and the Hubbard Family' from a play by A.'A. Milne, and the teenagers will be per- forming in two comedies "He Who Gets Fired", and "The King Can Do No Wrong" Shirley Upton,the director, searched a long tirme to come uþ with material that would adults and childreh, but would not oily be suitable for both adults and children, but would be fairly unique and not likely to have been seen in the area. Two of the plays were written in 1931, but the stories were easily adapted to modern times. Miss Upton is hoping for the same success as the group had last December with its production of the 3 Act play "The Mouse Trap" by Agatha Chrisite. She says: "We have to pay royalties on all these plays, but we are nevertheless tryifig to keep prices as low as possible ($1.75 for adults, $1.00 for students)to encour- age as many peopleas possible to see the show. We are hop- ing our audiences will consist of-t2ipnt in the'Youth Group, of many members of thecom- munity other than parents and relatives. There is a lot - 10 Richard Zotz and Ron Blain fight over Jane Pelow in the Whitby Theatre Company's youth production of "He Who Gets Fired," to be presented at the Centennial Building theatre Dec. 8, 9 and 10. Ron think's that Richard is flirt- ing with his wife, and that is bound to lead to some inter- esting dramatic action. Whitby residents are invited to at- tend these plays presented by the young people of the corn- munity. Free Press Photo and the members have worked hard to ensure that the show lhas a professional touch". The show takes place at the Whitby Centennial Build- ing 416 Centre St. -ouin, December 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and December 10th ait 1:00 p.m. Senior Citizens admitted free on December 8. CBC says town is not co-operatmg The Town of Whitby is not co-operating with CBC in the planning of growth for the Brooklin area says Somer Rumm of Consolidated Build- ing Corporation. However, council must not appear to be collaborating with CBC which is trying to make a financial profit, says Councillor Tom Edwards. Mr. Rumm suggested at a recent administrative com- mittee meeting that it is a waste of talent and money for the town to be conunC- ting a Brooklin study at the same time as CBC, with the two not getting together. Councillor tdwards cor,- tended that the town should continue with its study by Donovan Pinker, which in- cludes public meetings for input by the residents. The Pinker study is expected to conclude in two months. Mr. Rumm said a lack of co-operation pushes housing prices up and hurst the econo- my. He contended the CBC and the town are going "on two separate tracks" when it comes to the future plan- ning of Brooklin.
