SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1947 THE DAFLY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Hi-Tide JIM LAVIS y Looks as if we've been slipping lately. The only excuse we can of- fer is that for the last two weeks or 50 our spirits have been something like those of the character who sang "It might as well be spring in "State Fair". And in spite of the new fall of snow which we had yesterday, the feeling lingers on. However, to the few of our readers who splurge every Saturday night and buy the local paper, we say thanks, and promise to be more faithful. But on to the news (?) > P Athletics, wuich have been roll- ing around in mothballs for the last few weeks are beginning to come out. Badminton tournaments be- gin for the girls next week, with volleyball for the boys starting at the same time boys' badminton, but so far noth- ing, definite has happened. meeting of the 39th Con- gress was run off a week from Thursday, and though we were home cramming with the coffee pot, we hear they had a lively session. Highlight was the presence of two fellows from East York Collegiate, down to get a few ideas on how the Congressional system works, so naturally everyone shone that even- ing in order to impress them. One of the big questions was Walter Skochko's bill viz, that Congress should provide the sum of $40, $2 for each candidate, for the elec- tions. Sounds slightly stupid to us, when the Congressional treasury already has a deficit of $180, and they're howling for a budget. Next meeting this Thursday, 8:00 p.m, when the first of a series of five phratry discussions begins, with Leslie Reid, Eve Weinberger, Gord Witterick, and Dave Hambly sounding off on the United Nations. Mightn't be a bad idea to drop in on it. Right about this time every year "Fifi" Fedorsen begins running around through the corridors and holding conferences everywhere. You see, "Fifi" plans to carry on in the footsteps of the great Zieg- feld and so each year he collects a group to put on a skit at the Fro- lic. Two years ago he staged "Christopher Colombo", last year we forget and this year "The Bar- retts of Wimpole Street". Surprise casting--Jim Anderson as Elizabeth and Wimps Crawford as Flush! | Never mind, "Fifi", they laughed at Rembrandt when he sat down to play the piano, too. * +P And now we ccine to the Phratry. Investiture last Friday evening. At a quarter to eight the formal swear- ing in of the new recruits began, and at 8:30 life began, with danc- ing the order for the rest of the programme. Funny thing. The twenty members of the Prefectorial Council were furrowing their fore- heads and hatching all sorts of devilish schemes to get the first formers to mix together, and, then, after a couple of Paul Jones', those kids not only mixed, they stuck to- gether, Made the Council feel pret- ty ancient and behind-the-times. The floor was smooth, the lights, after a few experimental twists, had the right glow, and soon even our most sedate were cavorting to "Sipping Cider by the Zuyder Zee". Many of our fifth formers went away with slightly swelled heads, due to the fact that there were seevral girls' tags during the even- ing. You can't blame them, though. It's nice to pretend to yourself that your freckles are bigger than Van's and that personality sticks out all over you, After it was all over, the also. We hear | tary, plans, too, for the organization of | gress Council tripped up to the Library and wolfed down doughnuts and coke until they were bursting out all over. This was the first real investiture we'd ever been to--when we first came here they just handed you a membership card, shoved a coke in- to your mouth, and then trundled you out again. But this idea of a dance, which was begun last year, is really swell. Gives the new stu- dents a feeling of tonfidence and friendliness, though 8 lop of them don't need lessons % The Drama Club held its first formal meeting of the year Thurs- day night with a membership push- ing the thirties. Olficers for the year were elected with Gwen Wil- son, president; Leslie Reid, secre- , and Gord Hawkshaw, con- ional delegate. What the new play will be hasn't been definitely decided yet, but at the moment the Broadway and Hollywood co- medy, "You Can't Take It With You" seems to have the lead. After the meeting some of the cast of "The Barretts" sallied downtown and, squeezed into a booth, wept into their milk shakes over old times. After the last performance of the play many of us felt pretty dismal, so the new play offers a new opportunity to get together and renew our fun. > +P Rambling: Stan Skea has been hav his ups and downs lately, we find out. He runs the elevator at the Motors office. Iree Sabyan, "the well-known figure around the school", as some one once said, now wrestles with figures, mathematical, of course, down at the Public Utilities. The Get-Tcgether is trotting out a Christmas formal on the. 20th and already the girls are baiting their traps. * * bP More Rambling: Got the shock of our life when we dashed around the corner of the Bank of Ccmmerce one day last week and missed something--the scaffolding. Now that it's gone, what' was it there for, we'd like to know. The Orchestra is, putting the fin- ishing touches on the Gershwin rhapsody that they plan to play for Commencement. By far .the best thing they've ever done, too. * +» Do you know that: Some reople will listen te you only when you whisper to someone else? Gold-diggers are practically ex- tinct? They've found out about children. The bad relations be- tween neighbors are usually chil- dren? * > P Well, as the mixmaster said when the egg was dropped in "Let's beat it' See yon Saturday. SUMMER HOTEL BURNS Lindsay, Dec. 8 --(CP)-- Sunset lodge, $30,000 summer resort on Head Lake, about 40 miles north of here, was destroyed by fire Thursday night. Fred Winterburn, whose farm is half a mile away, first noticed the blaze. He and some neighbors were able to save .some furniture from the front of 15.room, two-storey building, owned by A. Miller of North Bay. Cause of the fire was not determined. ESSENTIAL SPORTS Properly - conducted competitive sports, which teach youngsters that they are members of society, are essential, health authorities claim. LAND Ne Direct Rovite TO THE Capacity Crowd Sees Concert By Ajax Pupils H. M. PIPER Correspondent ajax, Dec. 5--The pupils of the/ North and South Schools in Ajax put on a fine concert on Monday evening in the Community Hall The concert was under the aus- pices of the Home and School Club, and the girls and boys were train- ed by their teachers under the di- rection of Mrs. Alex Fisher, To- ronto, Mrs, Fisher is director of music in Ajax schools and is much beloved by her pupils. From the littlest ones to the older pupils having a part in the folk dancing and singing the child- ren were letter perfect and the con- cert was a fine success. The only criticism that one might make would be that it deserved a larger hall, to give the audience a better chance to really see the boys and girls. The hall was certainly filled to capacity and overflowing. The Women's Auxiliary of the Ajax Community Church held their Christmas meeting in the Sunday School room. In the absence of the President, Mrs. McRae through ill- ness, Mrs. Ogston, 1st vice, was in the chair. The meeting came to order with the singing of the Christmas carol "Oh Come All Ye Faithful." Mrs, Schell vas called upon to take charge of the devo- tional, parts being taken by Mrs. Simons, Mrs. Noland and Mrs. Brennan, All present joining in 'the hearty singing of favorite car- ols. The minutes of the previous meeting were adopted as read, fol- lowed by a brief business session, this part of the meeting closing with the Mizpah benediction. Mrs. Simpson then tcok charge of the program, an interesting feature being the exchange of gifts. Each member had to pick a number and perform the stunt written ghere- on before claiming her gift. 'Both the stunts and .gifts were greatly enjoyed. The dainty lunch as served by the hostesses Mesdames Woods and Noland was also much enjoyed and the evening came to a close with good wishes for the Christmas sea- son spoken, Mrs. Edwards of Trailer Camp is visiting her moth- er at New Liskeard, who is on the sick list, Mr. Edwards being away at the same time on a hunting trip. Wedding bells will ring for Miss Joyce Schell, Edward St, who is being married to Mr. W. Chalmers of Greenock, Scotland, next Sat- urday in the Ajax Church. Her many friends are wishing them both much happiness. ? Our first big snow storm saw many cars being towed, owing to the lack of garages in the village, the cars surely take a beating at a time like this. St., Mr. and Mrs. W. Ogston, Wind- | sor St., and others attending the house warming of J. Paterson and Chapman's family recently moved to Toronto from Ajax. Mr. and Mrs. R. McRae and Miss- es Mary and Esther McRae of York St., attended the wedding on Thursday of Miss J. Stevens, To- ronto. Miss Stevens was formerly a member of the D.LL. staff here. We are sorry to lose our neigh- bors, Mr, and Mrs. R. Upton and small daughter, Margo, from On- tario St. Mr. Upton has been transferred to the Bank of Com- merce, St. Catharines and expects to move to that city next week. Miss Gwen Schell, Edward St. graduate of the Oshawa General Hospital, was dedicated as a mis- sionary nurse in the United Church, Pickering, last Sunday evening, Rev. Dr. Dory of Toronto and our minister, Rev. Mr. Norton, officiat- ed. Gwen will be leaving soon to take her place in a Missionary Hos- pital in the West, and she takes with her the best wishes of all her friends in the community. Several from Ajax attended the splendid Santa Claus parade in Oshawa last Saturday, which was much enjoyed by all, both young and old. Many, many happy returns of their birthday goes to Daphne and Derry Watchorn, Ontario St., cele- braitng their 6th birthday on Wed- nesdgy with a party to several of their young friends.

Glover, a magazine editor, today recommended to the United States Livestock Sanitary Associ- ation more stringent federal con- trols over importation of cattle from Canada, Gloyer, editor of Hoards Dairy. man, Fort Atkinson, Wis., said that some cattle imported from Canada have reacted positively to tests for tuberculosis and that some of the animals had been found as far south as Georgia. He estimated that 60,000 dairy and purebred breeding cattle were imported into the United States last year from the domin- on. . In a prepared speech, Glover said that Canada had been opera. ting on the same basis as the United States for eradication of tuberculosis, but had not made the same progress as the United States. FLAYS CIGARET BOOST Toronto, ec. 6--(CP)--The Tor- ont District Labom Council's execu- tive committee says the new two- cents-a-package increase in prices of some brands of cigarets will boost tobacco company profits $8,000,000 a year altogether. In a report adopt- ed by the labor council last night it asked the secretary to write a let- letter of protest to the federal gov- ernment.
