PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TI MES.-GAZETTE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Phone 703, All Depariments Something "just a little bit dif- ferent" was presented to a Whit- by audience last night by the mem- bers of the Whitby Modern Players, Junior and Senior sections. In Va- rieties of 1948 the 'Players' add- ed a complete new twist ty their regular type .of production and judging from the applause from the sellout crowd in attendance the efforc was a distinct success. Varying from their usual efforts of presenting stage dramas and eomedies, the show put on the Mo- dern Players literally had every- thing. Singing, dancing lively mu- sic, comedy, and some drama, it was all there. In all. 34 members of the junior and senior groups took part in the stage production of "Varieties" addition to an off the stage crew of seven, all of 'whom were every bit as important as those actually going through the motions. ; Definite talent was again dis- played by the soloists of tne even- ing, Janet Spratt and Jean Ashby, pianists, Doris Holliday and Mrs. | Evelyn Castle Smith, vocalists, and Norma Pickerton, pianist from the junior section of the troupe. In addition the very fine singing * voices of Bob Wagstaff, Joan and Marcella Rousseau and others were much in evidence throughout. The show was a lively, fast siep- ping production with enough varie- ty to keep the iarge audience enter- tained throughout. The Gypsy and Negro. numbers were pavcicular- ly fine group e'forts as were seve- ral of the others making up tie 12 act program. Two skits, one Scottish and the other nicknamed 'Stuck Up' were well done and provided the audi- ence with a number of laughs. Jask Switzer and Forbes McEwen once again proved their ability to make an audience laugh during these two numbers. Mary Frances Ebbs and Bobby Peake, two of the members of the junior theatre were 'loudly ap- plauded during their stage appear= ances as were Diane Brady, Doris Clarke, Jane Meyers, La1a Lee Orma Fleming, Virginia Goodfellow, Jo-Tnne Strowger, Anne Cuddy, Judy Stiner, Rhona - Ross, Mary Grobb, Jane Holliday and Shirley Stevens. It is very (ifficult to write a resume of a show of this type and Dicle out any one or two out- standing personalities. It is ruch better wo simpiy quote Mcs Anne Wilson, director of the Modern Players troupe who stated, follow- ing the show, that "everyone did a grand job and they are a'l to be congratulated warmly." Special mention was mala hy Mrs. Wilson of Jean Ashoy who acted as pianist throughout the : program. "gein did a wonderful _ job" she =aid "and it was largely due to her efforts that tha chow ran off &s s.no.'hly as it did ?

Urging at least a six-room school, John Hare quoted the latest school tal of 175 children between five and 13 years of age living in that sec- tion of the town at the time the census was taken, : lation there today that requires not declared, expressing the view that the north-west wand was a likely section of the town for expansion. He went on to say that accord- ing to Mr. Parkin"s figures it ap- peared that a six-room school could be built within the funds available. P. K. Draimin said he was in fav- or of a six-room school providing the cost definitely did not exceed the budget.

The other building had also | been designed for the Dundas | Street site originally suggested and | it would have to be altered to suit | the new location, | The architect told the Board there was "no possible chance" of building a school of six classrooms and playroom for the amount avail- | able but without the playroom it | would be "a reasonable thing to ex- pect." | Referring to the sketch prepared for the special committee of a "There is in my opinion a popu- building with four classrooms and | of jy, A.

Hutchison, on th: other hand, was of the opinion that a six-room school was required in that area. The special committee set up last fall to investigate school needs had recommended a north-west ward | school composed of four classrooms | {and a playroom, to cost not more | than $125,000, including land, ar- | chitect's fees, equipment, and esca- | lator clause. The committee's re- | commendation as to the site for the | proposed school, a section of the | county home property on Palace Street, has already been decided upon by the Board.

Archibald said he | considered five classrooms sufficient but he favored an extra regular classroom, ta. serve as kindergarten, | rather than a playroom which could 'be converted into a classroom.

Whitby had a one to nothing lead but failed to hold it as the Byers club were really out fcr the first game of the series and their efforts were rewarded as they managed to slip in the extra needed marker. The second game of the series will be played in Oshawa on Monday night. The third game will be played in Whitby on Wednesday night weather permitting. Whitby took the lead after 12 minutes of scoreless hockey had been played as Hayward let go a backhand shot from in front of the net that beat goalie May all the way. The lead held good for the next sev. en minutes of the game as Whitby appeared as if they might also add a few more to their total as they held the greater edge on the game at this point. Whitby however fail. ed to hold this lead as with only 33 seconds to go Hinde scored on a breakaway. This was the only goal that the Byers crew got that they really deserved. The others being either shielded or something dis. tracted Dalby in the local twine. This frame was very cleanly play. ed with not a single penalty being handed out (not even Fidler). , In the second frame the Byers' crew really put on the pressure and rapped in two more goals before the local sextet could get back on their feet and get a scoring rush organi. zed. The first Byers marker came off the stick of Watt as the Red Wings were playing five men to six. Hanna being sent to the cooler { for slashing. Pankoski then took a pass from Gee and banged one by Dalby who failed to see it until the damage was done. MacDonald then sank the best goal of the night. Wil- liams passed the rubber out to "Meat.Ball" MacDonald at the blue line with the latter letting go a bul. let.like drive that beat May all the way. Byers were not to be outdone as they came back very strong and added one more. This marker came off the stick of Weatherill on a pass from Hawkshaw. This period was inclined to be slightly rougher as tempers were at a high point as the players were finding it almost impossible to carry the puck any length, In the final period Whitby made a valiant effort to tie it up but just were unable to rap one by May af. ter Yuill got the locals third mark. er, The first line were forced to use a very much revised form as Sid Ar. nold classy right winger was out due to a side injury suffered in the game here Wednesday night with Oshawa. It is hoped that he (Ar. nold) will be back in uniform for Monday's game against the same team only this time the game will be played in Oshawa. The next game will be a valuable win for the locals as it will put the series even at one game each. This being a three.out-of.five makes a much longer playoff series than the locals have been accustomed to. The Red Wings in their last two yearsyof hockey have only had to, play home and home goals to count.
