THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1947 BOB I-Tide By RIFE Time for me to get to work again, | sl so here goes. . Looks like "April Fools Day".is trying to sneak up on us without our knowing it, so that some gay and humorous character can give with practical jokes. We are therefore giving all and sundry fair warning that 'next Tuesday is the day so hang onto your hats and don't accept any wooden nickels. Event Some time ago most of the stu- dents of the school were taken on a triy to the "great metropolis" to igee a 'movie by the name of "Henry Vv". Opinions "differed as to the good or bad qualities of the film, but on the whole most of the people who went were satisfied that they had spent a lot of money. For some reason or other the film was finally brought to Oshawa and they showed it for one night only. The price to see it here was much lower than that of the Toronto | showing for students anyhow . . . i that is including train fare and the like. The picture. in this case was shown in a modern theatre, and we think that those who had the fore- sight to wait for the play to come ; ho Oshawa had the best part of the Everyone who saw the picture this time was again impressed by the magnificence and grandeur of the filming, and said that they hardly noticed the outmoded langu- age, since all that was hard to un- . derstand, was so well interpreted in actions that the main theme of the plot was not lost. Sports The nightly sessions in the boys' gym this week will have either made or busted quite a few of the so-called men- of the school. Basket- 'ball is a strenuous game and no kidding. The results of the mad struggle for a playoff berth is just about at an end and it looks like we will have to go out on a limb and pick the final winners . . . here's hoping we are even near be- ing correct. In the senior section it looks like the Saxons have a le hold on the series, and in the junior tilts it looks like the Britons may pull out with all the marbles. The bantam scene is a tight one as the teams are all a little unsteady in their play, so we will pick two finishers. Jutes and Normans will probably be the final squabblers in that bracket. The Senior Basketballers made a trip to North Toronto Collegiate last night and the final score in that game was a mystery to us since our trusty reporter failed to report. Seems to us that this in- dicates a loss, but we could be wrong. We will have the final tally on 'it though, in next week's effort. Chatter Lou Romani, (we told him we couldn't spell his name, so if it is wrong, blame him) the heart throb of all young Oshawa, as he describes himself is doing not so badly in a vocalizing way. He. has, appeared over almost all the local radio sta- tions except CKEY . . . If he ate Chop Suey, the International Chop Suey House might get him to sing a commercial and then he would have appeared over all stations in this area . . .

Listening Tide Today our little talk about Radio personalities etc. is being directed in the general direction of "Wayne and Shuster", that pair of, shall we say, wits who occupy the limelight of the Canadian comedy stage at the present time. These boys are making a good job with what they have, and although some of their material sounds a bit like Hope's we can excuse that, on account of the fact that we grab off a little of their humour every once in a while for this column. They are the stars of the future for look what happen- ed to our own Alan Young. Have You Heard Dept, Our record selection this time is one that we are not sure you cal get over here in Canada, but a bit of browsing in some record store might bring to light such a treasure as Cab Calloway's "Hey You! Hey You!" The Hi De Ho man really oes to town on this cookie and with his whole band coming in on the chorus it makes a swell piece to add to any jazz collection. The Latest Comes the time now for us to end up with our usual little perfumed send-off. The following incident could have occurred anywhere . . . seems that our friend Mrs. Whata- mouth was travelling in a train and noticed that the man beside her wore his arm in a sling. Naturally our kindly friend became very soli- citous toward the fellow and the following dialogue occurred: "You broke your arm, didn't you?" "Well, yes, I did." "Had an accident, I suppose?" "Not exactly. I did it trying to pat myself on the back." "What! On: the back! Now what did you want to pat yourself on the back for?" "Just for minding my own busi- ness." . . Yes sir! we are really hot to- ga': ho hum . .. see you Wednes- ay. Movie Tells Story Of M.-H. Progress A graphic motion picture, "Ro- mance of Two Hemispheres," was recently produced for Massey-Har- ris, shows the world-wide use to which a Massey-Harris equipment is put. Included in the picture are scenes from the chief countries of the world, particularly glimpses of many historic vistas, especially fields where M-H equipment is at work which face such well-known views as Windsor Castle in Eng- land, the field where Burns turned over the daisy and discovered the mouse he immortalized in his poem, Vimy Ridge, and famous landscapes of Canada. T.U.C.A. Activities Our "champeen bowler" has re- captured his magic touch. George Wall left all opposition gasping as he tossed his spectacular game of 311, Runners-up were Reg Thursby Xin 195, and Earl Mathews with Although several of the more en- thusiastic members reported to Alexandra Park on Sunday for rea- sons known only to themselves, no hike was held. What's the matter, fellas? Do you need the encour- agement of the falrer sex to help hurdle' those fences? However, Sunday night found the members congregated at the home of Bill Burnett where his collection of records was listened to, and enjoy- ed by all. The Wednesday night meeting, which was also held at Bill's home, opened with the reading of the minutes Secretary Eleanor Stark. Treasurer Bill Stark submit- ted his report and reminded the members that April's dues are now payable. The programme for the evening got off to a "smiling" start as a tape measure was provided, and everyone had their grin measured. It was discovered that the average smile is three inches in length. Record-breaking smiles belonged to Bill Stark and Bob Martin, whose smiles measured three and a half inches. Amid squeals and groans, a contest for the highest and low- est notes in the members' voice range was held. Earl Mathews de- scended almost to the depths of the keyboard, and Dawn Ward attained the highest note. Jim Hurvid pushed a penny one yard across the floor witth his nose ag the rest of the members gather- ed around to cheer him on. Jim also made a very ferocious 'bear" as he hurried blindfolded around the table, searching for a similarly blindfolded "hunter". Neither the "bear" nor the "hunter" could re- move his hands from the table. Jim made a very good "bear"; he caught everyone. Strange to relate, the boys emerg- ed victorious in the contest against the girls which involved guessing words that ended in ice. In the game known to the initiated 2s "pan - wharming", Anne Burnett and Doug McCabe were the win- ners. The game is a good test of reflex muscles, 'and provided a great deal of amusement, The even- ing's entertainment ended with dancing, Next week's entertain. ment committee is composed of Doug McCabe, Eleanor Stark, Earl Mathews and Bill Stark. The com- mittee was told that they and all future committees must supply a short skit to supplement the even- ing's entertainment. In this way a vauable amount of practice can be obtained before the more serious dramatic work is begun. The evening ended with the Lord's Prayer and handclasp. The regular Saturday night bowl- ing will be carried on at the May- fair Lane, beginning at the usual time--7 o'clock. It should be inter- esting to see if George can retain his title, or if he will be ousted from this position. Seven-league boots and the old- est, most disreputable cothes you own are the order of the day for Sunday, (if the weather behaves itsef!) The regular meeting place-- Alexandra Park--has been changed to Beaton's Dairy. However, the | usual time--1:30--still stands. | Next week's meeting, which was | to be held at the home of President | Ken Brisebois, is to be replaced by a party with the Bowmanville Youth | Club in Bowmanville. Meeting place | will be the parking lot on the corner | of Athol and Simcoe Sts. at 7 o'clock sharp. Members will be notified of the details by phone later. Remember: "United we stick"; "Divided we're stuck." In the first quarter of the 14th | century the jester was an important | part of every large household.
