Last October, shortly after his dis- 'charge from the R.C.A.F., ha won his radio audition. Since then his rapid- (fire progress in radio can only be de- scribed as '""phonomenal", Today, Aldred is the Canadian an- nouncer on "Waltz Time" and the "Album of Familiar Music", (CBC Trans-Canada 9.30 to '10 p.m. At Port Perry High School Aldred showed signs of announcing ability, when he presided over and acted in school plays, He also found time in his younger days for singing lessons and choir work, At that time his am- bition was to be a Metropolitan Opera star. He has a powerful bass voice, Joel joined the R.C.A.F. in 1940, and in the next four years worked his way rs to the rank of squadron-leader. In arch, 1944, he was sent overseas, and served as a heavy bomber pilot in the Iroquois Squadron.

We have an interesting program of inter-mural sports this year, thanks mainly to the efforts of Mr. McDonald. The girls have schedules games of basketball, volleyball, badminton, etec., while the boys keep in shape with soccer, basketball, volleyball and bad- minton, Ted Griffen, president of the Ath- letic Association has resurrected one of the ping-pong tables and has set it up in the Auditorium. This game has gone over in a big way and it is rum- ored that we are to have two more tables in the near future, While we are on the subject of indoor-sports, there are many in the school who would like to see the once popular game of floor-hockey revived. This game was abolished a few years ago because of damage done to the gymnasium by some unwitting pupils. However, we are sure that this would not happen again if the game was brought back. The students who caus- ed the damage to the gymnasium have long since departed from our midst, and I am sure that the Student's Council is prepared to see that such an occurance would not happen again. (How about looking into this matter, T. G.)? ee -- P.P.H.S, Know Your Library "SAINTS, DEVILS, AND ORDINARY SEAMEN" by Lieut. William Howard Pugsley, R.C.N.V.R. As 1946 is the Golden Jubilee year of the Royal Canadian Navy, this is atimely book and an excellent acqui- sition by the Port Perry Library. The nuthor, a grandson of the Hon, Wm. Pugsley, D.C.L., Minister of Public Works in the Laurier Cabinet and later Lt.-Governor of New Brunswick, was educated at McGill and Harvard Uni- versities and at the Sorbonne in Paris. He was well equipped for writing such a book as this both by scholarship and by a practical knowledge of his sub- jeet, for he served two years as a rating and is equally proficient in literary English and in the racy idiom of the "Lower Deck." The book, tell- ing the story of the exploits of the Canadian Navy in the recent war, should be almost as interesting to the landlubber (except for the first chap- ter, which may be too technical for him) as to the sailor. ) In spite of the title I did not dis- cover any Saints or yet Devils in the book, but I found a lot of likeable sailor lads, given to playing practical jokes on one another, but bound to- gether in a fine fraternity by common perils, a common pride in the work of the "Senior Service", and a common loyalty to King and Country. Mr. Pugsley has a happy gift of giving information in an interesting way, usually by introducing compari- son or illustration. For instance, in a chapter appropriately entitled "Mare Nostrum', he writes "During the whole war period the Canadian Navy convoyed no less than 26,3456 ships to Britain with 181,000,- 000 tons of cargo. This means that during every day of the conflict there were on the average 125 merchant ships on the North Atlantic bound for Britain under Canadian escort, "And the delivery of 181,000,000 tong is the equivalent of 40,000 miles of freight cars (a solid band of freight cars eleven abreast and stretching from the piers of Halifax right back across country to Vancouver). All of this reached Britain. The North At- lantic was in truth "our sea", There are some vivid bits of de- scription, and also some spicy com- ments, in the book, One of the best comes in connection with an account of a visit of "Monty" to one of the ships of the -Royal Navy, and of his Jorsption on board. Here is one such hit: "One thing I want to say right now is that when the Royal Navy turns on the charm, there's nothing like it. The elaborate calmness of the senior of- ficers, the incomparable smartness of hundreds of ratings, the imperious overture of a chorus of bosun's pipes 'at the gangway, the perfection of the THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1946 PORT PERRY STA PORT PERRY, ONT, Marine band, the split second timing of procedure, and all of this-against the stirring background of a massed battle fleet, these add up to a spec- tacle that rivals anything Rome knew, "The man who is impervious to it hasn't yet been born. It's guaranteed to make even that Chicago publisher jump to his feet, waving a Union Jack and shouting 'Rule Britannia'! There's nothing like it anywhere!" It would surely be an edifying spec- tacle--the sight of that notorious old Anglophobe, the publisher of the Chicago Tribune, in such a role; but if that were to come to pass, the leopard would be seen changing his spots and two moons would appear in: the sky. The book has been highly praised by the best critics, and few readers will disagree with one who writes: "A Canadian Conrad has been uncovered in Lt. Wm. H. Pugsley, R.C.N.V.R., who has given us not only a grand history of the Dominion's naval part in the last war, but a sea story that is all salt and excitement". The Author's royalties from this book are assigned to the Canadian Naval Service Benefit Fund. This generous gesture and the value of the book itself should ensure a large sale --though it is too much to expect that the largest to be counted upon will compare with those of many popular novels, more marked by "sex interest" than literary worth, The Navy League of Canada has just put out its annual appeal for help in its post-war work, such as the training of Sea Cadets, the mainten- ance of clubs and hostels at seaports to meet the need of Merchant Sea- men when ashore, ete. The address of the Ontario Division of the League is 109 St. George St., Toronto. In the multiplicity of good causes making ap- peals to our interest and our pocket- books, this one is especially worthy--- especially in this Golden Jubilee Year of the League and the Royal Canadian Navy. --DM., [. S. Port Perry Memorial Hospital DISTRICT NURSES ORGANIZE On Thursday, November 7th, Mrs. Cephas Sleep, of Seagrave was hostess at a delightful luncheon given to the graduate nurses of this community. Of the twenty-five nurses that were contacted only ten were able to be present. Reminiscences of training days provided much gaiety during the luncheon hour. After luncheon came the business of the day--a proposal to this group that graduate nurses of Port Perry and surorunding district would organize themselves into an auxiliary to provide practical and financial assistance to Port Perry Community center their imterests in the nursing. Also to be prepared to offer their ser- vices whenever the need might arise. As most of this group have had some experience in Port Perry Community Hospital all were much in accordance with the suggested plans. Many ex- cellent ideas for improvements were brought forth and some of these will be presented to the Board of Govern- ors for approval. An election of officers took place and Mrs. Harold Archer and Mrs. A. L. McDermott were unanimously elect- cod President and Seeretary-Treasurer, respectively. A fee of one dollar per vear for each member was agreed up- on and the group to be known as the Community Nurses Auxiliary. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs, I. R. McClellan on Thursday, December Hth at 8 p.m. It is hoped that every graduate nurse in Reach, Scugog, Cartwright and Port, who is interested in joining this group will keep this date in mind, and contact Mrs, A. L. McDermott at Phone 98W, Port Perry, for further information. A vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Sleep for so graciously opening her home for this organization meet- Remembrance The weather was unfavorable last Sunday, but there was a good turnout in the parade of Veterans of World War I and II. Four wreaths were placed in the Memorial Library. One from the Veterans, by Stanley Guyton. ; the Regent, Mrs, J. S. MacFarlane. One from the Village of Port Perry by Reeve Fred Reesor. One from the Province of Ontario, by Robert Tet- low. . The parade then proceeded to "the United Church, where they were join- ed by the members of Scugog Chapter, 1LO.D.E., and the Boy Scouts. The Church was filled by those who came to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in the two great wars. Rev. W. C. Smith conducted the service; and the address was taken by Dr. M. B. Dymond. | Mr. Mawson, of Toronto, sang two beautiful and appropriate solos. Mra. Orde presided at the organ. Dr. Dymond said in part: "First and uppermost in our minds today, I have no doubt, is the memory of those from our own intimate circle who are not with us--them we would remember--to their memory we do homage. For them, I would pray silence--those valiant young men and women, who counting not tha cost, gave the last full measure of devotion and now sleep on those quiet spots in other lands--those hallowed bits of Canada which dot the countryside of England, France, Belgium, Holland and Italy, and the Islands of the Pa- cific.
