'The precision and danc- ing of the girls, representatives of all five forms, was a treat to see, Many intricate steps calling for a great deal of practice were display- ed including folk dances of the . Irish, French and Czechoslovakian races. Miss Lorrimer and the girls were roundly applauded for the work they have done on this proj- ect. In the boys' display of gym work and basketball it could be easily understood why Whitby boys make good athletes, An attraction that drew special plaudits from the as- semblage was the tumbling act put on by Bob Purdy and Sandy Mc- Leod. Both students were called on to take flying leaps over the backs of several of the fellow stu- dents ending up their feat with a front roll. -Both students success- mi to clear the backs of t fellow students and were forts. y congratulated for their ef- A sparkling 'fashion show by the gitls of the school was also a feat~ ure attraction.

For Appointment PHONE 2236 See Swimming Pool A Possibilty For Whitby in Future At a general meeting of the Whitby Recreational Association | tion. held last night in the Town Hall if was decided to investigate the pos- sibilities and cost of g a swimming tank for the town. The idea, fathered by the Whitby Re- creational Director, Gordon Mahon, met with the unanimous approval of thre members present and it was decided that amore ex- tensive enquiry should be made into the possibility of providing a pool for Whitby - residents. An outline of the possibilities af- forded by such a project was pre- sented to the gathering by Mr. Mc- Mahon who stated that an adequate swimming pool was certainly need- ed in the Whitby area. Mr. McMahon was given the "go ahead" signal by the association and he will immediately make an extensive survey of other like proj- ects in small centres and estimate fairly accurately the cost of such a project if carried out in Whitby. It has become a subject of live interest since the first indication was given several weeks ago that 'Me-. such a project was under considera- Recently the Whitby Kins- men Club decided to hold their plans of installing a children's wading pool in the Kinsmen Park in check until some definite information is received concerning the proposed ted: by sugges! that if the Recreational Association plans to attempt such a project it would be a sensible idea to abandon their proposed project and join with the association in the new venture, Although plans are definitely in the formative stage it is believed that the possible site for the 1, if carried, would be in the vicihity of the Lawn Bowling Club grounds, It was pointed out that the drain- age in that area is fairly good and that it would be hard to find a more centrally located area for the purpose. > The Association also instructed Mr, McMahon to attend the Pro- vincial Recreation. Association con- ference whicli' will be held in Ham- ilton during the latter part of May. Women's Co-Operative Guild Continuing Good Work of War Years With the recent announcement from the Women's Co-Operative Guild of Whitby to the effect that they have decided to send a $100 cheque to the Co-Operative Relief for Burope fund (CARE), it is again brought to mind the amount of work and good-will being done by this small but worthy local organi- zation. The matter of presenting the cheque was broached at a re- cent meeting of the group held at the residence of Mrs. Anna Town, 8r., under the direction of the pres- ident, Mrs. George Munns. 'The local organization, although seldom heard from publicly, main- tains their quiet way of doing good for others and when it is consider- ed that there are only fifteen ac- tive members in the group it can be readily seen that they are doing a job of which they can well be proud. Mrs, William P. Ashton, member of the local club, stated today that the decision to send the cheque to the CARE organization followed a recent announcement by A. B. Mac- | Donald, General Secretary of the Oo-Operative Union of Canada, to the effect that an agreement had been reached whereby CARE food packages would be permitted to en- ter war and flood-scarred Britain. Local officials, when speaking of the magnificent work done by the Guild in' Whitby during the war years, stated that this further con- tribution to the people who suffer- ed most during the war simply proves what has been known for a long time that this fine group of ladies get a lot of happiness out of helping others. Officials of the Guild are proud of their war record which includes such contributions as ditty bags to the Navy League of. Canada, knit- ting, also for the Navy League, pre- sentation of layettes to the I1.O.D.E. for shipment to Britain, and num- erous cash donations to organiza- tions such as the Sick Children's Hospital, Greek Relief, Canadian Institute for the Blind. and many others. In order to raise funds to carry on their charitable work the Guild has sponsored many (social events including euchres, bazaars, teas, quilting bees and bingo games, Members of the Guild branch in Whitby include the .following: Mrs. George Munns, Mrs: Florence Adam, Mrs, Mabel Lindley, Mrs. William Ashton, Mrs, T. Seymour, Mrs, E. Hepworth, Mrs. Anna Town, Mrs, J. Cowx, Mrs. C. Fraser, Mrs, J, Smythe, Mrs, A. Living- stone, Mrs. G, Burgess, Mrs. PF. Palmer, Mrs. Wilson (Oshawa), Mrs. H.
