SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE T.U.C.A. : Activities By Eleanor Stark and Bob Young After reading this column, or hearing it discussed, many people have asked just what type of club T.U.C.A, is, what it means, who belongs to it, and what the necessary qualifications are for entering. As a fitting memorial to our first succesful year in operation, we have deciled to use the space this week to try and an- swer some of these questions, The letters in the Club's name pre significant of four of the Ideals of the Club--Truth, Uni- ty, Concord, Ability. These four words, however, cannot hope to express all the aims and ambi- tions of this organization. " T.U.C.A. did not come into be- Ing by chance; it was worked and planned for with two definite oals in view, First, to try to ring togcther some of the young eople of Oshawa and help them 0 have a good time, and second- ly, to try to help to form use- ful citizens and competent lead- ers. We know we are succeeding fn our first purpose--we hope we are succeeding in our second. The Club meets each Wednes= day night at the home of one of the members. We have been ser- fously handicapped by our lack of a suitable and permanent clubhouse, but the future looks much more hopeful in this res- pect. We hope, someday to have a club house of our own--some- where the girls can put into prac- tice their love (?) of housekeep- ing and interior decorating, and the boys can go and relax and not worry unduly about the fur- niture. At present, this place ex- {sts only in our imagination, but we can dream, can't we? Unfor- tunately, because of this, we have hcl to limit our membership to thirty people, The Club is filled almost to capacity at present, but we assure you that as soon as accommodation can L- obtained, any and all will be cordially welcomed. The first part of these Wednesday meetings is devoted to any necessary business--the re- ' mainder to entertainment. Each week a committee of three is se- lected to provide the entertain- ment for the next meeting, This has taken many different forms --games have been resurrected which haven't been played since childhood, and been thoroughly enjoyed by all, Several scavenger hunts have been organized and such things as license plates, dew worms, can openers, and police- men's signatures have been proudly brought in by the parti- cipants. Every three months {the executive is re-elected in ordey to give each member a chan to take an active part in the/Club. Two positi- 8 which o not change, however, are thoSe of the two supervisors--Ken Brisebois and Reg, Thursby. They have done a really wonderful job in the past, and the future shows great promise, The Club is non-sectarian in form afd the ages of the mem- bers vary from fourteen to twen=- ty-tfive. Any nationality is wel. come--the only requisite is that the member must conform to a set of rules drawn up by the exe- cutive and approved by the rest of the Club. These rules are for the protection and benefit of the members and are few and simple. 'The agenda for the summer lists baseball at the top. A girls' team and a boys' team have been organized and should go into op- eration very soon, Hikes play a very important part in the: club activities, and those members who attend regularly state that they are among the most enjoyable things that we do. From all re- ports, the last Nike, held last Sunday, was rather rugged to say the least, Seems that one of the boys came home with a slash- ed hand and minus the heel of a shoe, and several of the girls had an argument with a barbed wire fence, Needless to say, they both emerged a trifle battered. Another item on the agenda which we hope to be able to be- gin soon is dramatic work, T.U. C.A, did produce one play at Christmas time "Dicken's Christmas Carol," Under the dir- rection of Reg. Thursby, the play was a huge success, Of course, it was subject so all the mistakes of amateur dramatics, but the experience will stond us in good stead for the next time. Each Saturday night, any mem- bers who wish to bowl, meet at the Mayfair Lanes. The chief aim of this evening is to have a good time and the score doesn't mat- ter in the least. Tentative plans for a tennis court of our own have been made, but pecuniary troubles have slightly hindered us in this respect. Among the hobbies of the Club, photography takes a high place. We have several very good, and very ardent 'camera fiends" among the members, and the re- sult of this hobby is a photo- graph album full of pictures that are definitely not posed and would make excellent blackmail material! All those numerous predicaments hikers manage to get themselves into, (which would be better forgotten) have been recorded on film, collected, and incorporated into one big album Later the best ones will grace the walls of our clubhouse «we hope, Official club colours have been chosen and also a crest and mot- to. The colours are--orange, sil- ver, and blue, and the motto is --+United We Stand--Divided We're Stuck." The crest, design- ed by Reg, Thursby, consists of a star held between the 'points of a half moon, As stated before, the Club has now been in operation for on¥N full year. We have made many mistakes, but none that could not be rectified, We feel that, ta- king everything into considera- tion, we have had a truly suc- cessful year, and that this coming summer with its plans for hiking, baseball, swimming, dances, bow= ling and dramatic work should be one of the best yet. One of our greatest hopes now, is to be able to announce that the restrictions on membership have been lifted, but unfortunately, until suitable accommodation can be obtained, this is almost impossible, Howev= er, if anyone is interested in this organization and would like to leave their applications for future membership, a phone call to El- eanor Stark at --4062-W, or Bill Burnett at 1836-M will be very welcome, Also, if any more in. formation about the Club is de- sired ( Bill or Eleanor will be glad to help in any way they can. The usual activities of the Club will be carried on next week--bowling Saturday night, and a hike Sunday at the same time and from Alexandra Park. Next Wednesday's meeting will take the form of a baseball prac- tice at Alexandra Park, In conclusion, on behalf of the whole Club, we would like to ex- tend a very sincere vote of thanks to Club friends--Cal and Eda Braun--who were instrumental in the organization of the Club-- to all the parents who have 80 generously loaned us their homes and cars when needed,and to all those rather grand people who have in any way contributed to the success of "Our Club"--T.U. C.A, Y.P. Choir Aid In Service At Raglan Church L. M. LUKE Correspondent Raglan, May 16--A large num- ber attended the Mother's Day ser- vice last Sunday.

Softly-Spoken Individuals Said Dangerous Ones London, Ont., May 21--(CP) --"The dangerous one , ., is the soft-spoken individual, known as a good citizen, who works his way into a position of authority an" makes the balls for others to throw, which cause turmoil and discontent in our business and in- dustrial life," declared D, S.

With- out such great drum-beating as yours truly could add to the band, everything looks bright for all those cadets who have to keep step by listening for the afterbeat of the "Wimp" Crawford is the C.O, so we hear. "Am T hearing straight, did you say, Wimp Crawford?" Yes, I did. And he makes quite an impressive officer even if he ad- mits to everybody. "What about his voice, isn't it in the middle of a changing process?" I don't know about that, but the old boy . . . I use the word loosely, seems to have developed quite a military tone in all his commands and doesn't allow his voice to break when he reaches for a high note. Another interesting sidelight on the coming parade is the way that certain members of the band have been missing from their classes they are . has settled down for a nice go at a Trig question, they hear the dul- cet tones of the cadet band "tat- taaing" and "pooming" on the back campus, Spurts Did you spell that word spurts, Ostrilk? Tl your little neck if you did, cause this is going to be a great department. It seems that fifth form were having a P.T. period and the teach- er asked which game the students . « +» (We use that word loosely also) preferred' basketball or baseball to- day. He asked for a show of hands. The vote was 4.02% for baseball and so with the majority ruling we out to the diamond and began what is no doubt one of the most revelutionary games of base- | ball-- (softball, that is) ever played. "By the way that .02% was your faithful columnist who did not have the strength to get his hand all the way." You be quiet, Ostrflk. But any- way, our team led off by clouting home run after home run. There were eight men on a team and of course no one played shortstop, so all the hits naturally went through the hot corner, But anyway, came our turn to bat and something got in our eye so we couldn't see the pitch and so struck out. "Listen to the guy, he's always got an excuse for everything that happens to him." Quiet, gremlin! John Bull came to bat, and after getting over his urge to tee up the ball, found he could hit if the pitches were low and on the outside commer. Hence he pounded one about three inches off Se SB cfig Hina ped it . . . the thing is 5 inches in diameter it seems , . . just to get serious for' a moment, we suppose everyone knows Mr. Waugh isnt doling as well as was expected on his trail to a recovery, so let's all wish him right here and now, the best of everything and most of all a complete recovery , . . back to nonsense again , ..* had a lunch period coming up next and so strolled outside for a breath of fresh air . . . imagine his surprise when he looked in the window of Mr. Kirkland's room to see his class seated calmly listening to "Kirkie" give with the History . . . his en- trance was very rapid.
