ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS Tuesday, March 17, 1958 The final concert of the Canadian Concert Association series this year was held at the Ontario La- dies' College on Saturday evening last. Judging by the audience it was the most successful concert of the season. The brilliant choir - organist of Toronto, David Ouchterlony, brought with him his*group of 14 Songmen. The program covered a wide range of styles. Beginning with two operatic : choruses for men's voices, and a madrigal by the Elizabethan Composer, Weelk- es, the Somgmen led us'through a group of Spirituals and many inter- esting and unique Folk songs -- not a few of them very amusing. FINEST EVER HERE Brilliant Chorus Heard In Final Of Season's Concerts | from various countries -- England, dangerous expedient when one considers the real purpose and intention of the spiritual. FINE FOLK SONGS Undoubtedly the best part of the program came in the last section when the choir gave an interpreta- tion of a number of folk songs Mexico, §cotland, Czechoslovakia, Wales, Jamaica, United States and Spain (the final encore). Certainly not the most fiery, but clearly the most musical was the unexcelled Welsh song, '"Sleep, Beloved, Sleep".

Reading, smoking good strong tobacco and playing cards with friends occupy Mr. Willis' time. Only he wishes there was more card playing. His family were Scottish pioneers who settled in the Whitby district, their farm being part of the pres- Township Council. Like his father before him, he served as secretary of the Whitby and East Whitby Agricultural Society. To those who would say that the Town of Whitby has not chang- ed or progressed, Mr. Willis would say "nonsense." Today when he goes out for a drive, the face of the community has altered so much, he can scarcely recognize it. Every day on March 17, his old friend and neighbour, W. A.

Dundas School Had Games Night evening was Games Night at s Street School, when the Home and School Association en- tertained guests at 38 tables of euchre, bridge and other games. In apearance, it seemed to be a celebration of St. Patrick's Day, for teachers and pupils had de- corated the rooms in the St. Pat- rick's tradition. Tally cards for the bridge players had been very clew erly made by the children in Mrs. s room. They were in the form of hats for the ladies and maps of Ireland for the gentle- men. Mrs. Kyrle Southwell was in charge of the euchre room, where Jiizes were won by Mrs, Reid, . Daisy Richardson, Mrs. J. Linton, Mr. L. King, Mrs. E. Ross, Mrs. C. Wilson, Mr. Ross Law, and Mrs. G. McDonough. The room for bridge and assort- ed games was supervised by Mrs. Philip Chubb. Prizes here were awarded by lucky draw and Mayor Jermyn the names of Mrs. | L. Gibson, Mrs. J. Frost, Mrs. R. | McQuay, Mrs. W. Forbes, Mr. L.| Gibson, Mr. Stubbins, and Mr. C. Heard. The draw for the helpers! was won by Mrs. W. R. Emerson. When games were over, Mrs. A. Robertson and her committee, with extra helpers, served a very de- licious and bountiful lunch, and throughout the evening Mrs, My- ers, aided by the Senior girl pupils, offered candy to the players. The proceeds from this annual event will be used by the Associa- tion to give the Senior Room pupils a trip later in the spring to the Royal Ontario Museum, also to help provide a picnic and field day for the entire school next June. A very hearty "Thank You" is extended to all who helped in any way to make the evening so suc- cessful. INCREASED TAX RATE KITCHENER (CP)--City council Monday night set the 1953 tax rate at 72 mills, an increase of four mills over last year. The levy is one mill higher than that of Water- loo. City treasurer Louis Dahmer noted that council had to meet a 4.5 mill increase in requisitions of boards and commissions over which council had no control, Both Kitchener and Waterloo councils in- creased the poll tax from $5 to $10. Mrs. Ernest Hargerty, 42, Lawr- ence Station, told police the man was walking in the centre of the traffic lane on which her eastbound | car was travelling. She said she {was blinded by the lights of an approaching car. fect blend was secured in the con- certed parts of their program. The tone was full and round without being strident in the higher reach- es; in fact, the singers have been so well chosen that the clarity at any point in their three - octave range was pure and entirely satis- fying. Pianissimos and fortissimos were taken in juxtaposition with ease -- and occasjonally not with- out 'surprise, especially in the Graveyard Song when all the lights in the hall were extinguish- ed only to be lighted again to the accompaniment of a sepulchral yell from the choir and the crash of cymbals on the piano. It seems that the best idiom for the singing of negro spirituals is a male chorus; and Mr. Ouchter- lony demonstrated that beyond a doubt. "Let us break bread to- gether" was evidently the best in this group; the audience would have been pleased if it had been repeated. Lil' David, play yo' harp," a singularly joyous ex- ample of the spiritual, bent over slightly toward the comical -- a lish catches. Nor would the audi- ence let them leave with one or two encores at the end of the pro- gram; they called for three, and would have had more! EMINENT CONDUCTOR The singers and their eminent conductor showed that they were in perfect accord with one another throughout. The pleasure written on their conutenances gave ample evidence that everyone of them en- joyed singing as much as the audi- ence enjoyed listening. When we realized that, with the exception of the first three numbers, the "scoring" for all the songs had been done by the conductor hime self, then we knew in part at least why it was that they were so re- sponsive to every suggestion for nuance that the conductor made. The settings, redolent with buoy- ancy and exuberance, were a proof of the conductor's unerring judg- ment, A thoroughly delightful eoncert, that assures the success of the campaign for a subscription series next season which begins shortly!

The various rates were struck by council early this month. ; The county rate in the township is 10.8 mills which will produce $94,303 for the County of Ontario. The Township general rate, which includes roads and welfare, is 12.3 mills which will produce $107,401. School debentures vary in the 21 school sections. One school area has a 74 mill rate. Police expendi- tures for the south area of the township are up $10,861 over last year, and policing there is cover- ed by the 5.8 mill rate. Policing in the north area is done by the Ontario Provincial Police therefore no direct levy is made on the township but a township constable has to be employed to enforce by- laws for which a .2 mill rate has been levied. Fire area No. 1 rate is 1.6 mills; Area No. 2 rate is .4 mills. Vil- lage of Claremont rate is 2.4 mills; Pickering Village rate is 55 mills. The Township general rate in- creased only by $6,252 this year but police increases and the $22,-| 85¢ jump in county levy nroves serious to the over-all tax picture. Toothpick 5.00 For Artist CALGARY (CP)--Herb Capozzi, winner of a fellowship which took him to many parts of Europe, be-| lieves Canada would not need to| send troops overseas if she sent more students every year. Herb, who won the Rotary Foun- dation Fellowship for advanced study abroad, travelled in Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Aus-| tria; Germany and England. He said the 85 students who received the fellowships are expected to act as "links in a chain of friendship" to help countries get together and understand one another.

DYER Correspondent i BROOKLIN -- The Evening Aux-| iliary of the Women's Missionary | of the Brooklin United met at the home of Mrs. | Chure! Alfred Wilson on Monday evening, March 9. .

WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Association of the Brooklin United Church was held in the Sunday School room of the March 11 with Mrs. Norman Alves presiding over the meeting.

The usual | social half hour followed the close | of the meeting with a dainty lunch Of Informative Need for the restoration of much | of the wholesome family life of] fifty years ago, with more of "doings things as a family' was. emphasized last night by Dr. An- gus M. Hood, director of the To- ronto Mental Health Clinic in an address to a largely-attended meet- ing held under the auspices of the Women's Guild of All Saints' Ang- lican Church, The meeting was at- tended by many of the nurses of | the Ontario Hospital staff and nurses from Oshawa, as well as visitors from outside points who came to hear Dr. H speak on | child guidance. | In an address which was highly | instructive, Dr. Hood raised the point when a child was known as | a 'problem child" it meant that| something had gone awry in the! relationship between the child and its parents, each contributing some thing to the beginning and perpe- tuation of the situation, with the adult involved in the problem right along with the child. Speaking on the three types of problem children, the fearful child, the aggressive child and the dull child, Dr. Hood drew from exper- jences in the Toronto mental health clinic to illustrate the in- herent causes of these types of problems, and the approach of their correction. Too great depen- dence on parents, a feeling of re- jection by one or both parents, a lack of consistent limits to live by and failure to win approval or re- cognition were cited as some of the causes of these conditions. 'Being a parent is a long term business and so is growing up," said Dr. Hood, "Being a parent is | somewhere between being a task- master and a pal. Whatever a par- | ent does with a child when he is! having difficulty should be geared | to how this can be used to help him to be better prepared to handle his own feelings and experiences. Without difficulty and anxiety there can be no growth. Try to figure Address © § GUEST SPEAKER Dr. Angus M. Hood, director of the Toronto Mental Health Clin- ic, gave an informative address on child guidance last night und- er the auspices of the Women's Guild of All Saints' Church. out where your own feelings are being unhelpfully superimposed on the child. Expect the child to as- sume tasks commensurate with his age. In discipline, let the child know where he stands by being able to say 'No' quietly and have it meant. Be more ready to ene courage than to criticize, and vide and encourage group e iences even if that involves pa ful lessons. Above all, do as a family, and keep the family environment as free from friction as possible." Mrs. A. G. Channon expressed thanks to Dr. Hood for his ad- dress.

The bill, an amendment to the Edible Oils Act passed last year but never proclaimed as law, would allow. the government to pass orders-in-council affecting all ed- ible oil products except margarine. The edible oil industry said this would cover peanut butter, mayon- naise, salad oil and other products which have enjoyed unrestricted sale for many years. Premier Frost said the govern ment had no intention of placing any restrictions on these products. The bill was meant for substitutes for dairy products such as whip- ping cream, sherbet, ice cream {day, bearing placards which said and similar products im which { "Kill Bill 71" and "This Bill En- butter fat is otherwise used.

(64a) At $25,000 CALGARY (CP)---Earl Gammon has a coach parked in his garage at Banff that's more than an heir- loom. Its value has been estimated at $25,000. This is the coach that carried the Prince of Wales--later Edward VII--from Pictou to Truro, N.S., in 1860. Many years later it car- cess Elizabeth, and the Duke of| Edinburgh at the Calgary Stam- pede grounds. At the time of King Edward's visit the. coach had been put on the Pictou-Truro run by an Amer- ican named Hiram Hyde. Earl Gammon's father, William, bought it from Hyde for his stage-coach | line from Pictou to Amherst. | { as well if not better than Cana- ing animals and grew wheat for a| living. The students took it for granted that Herb"s parents were 'divorced and bank robbers slunk about all American streets. Herb says, however, that Cana- dians' views of Italy are equally confused. There are two Italys, he says-- the comparatively wealthy north and the poverty-stricken south. In the north, he found women dressed dian women, but those in the south were barely existing. | In France, he was impressed with the sense of humor shown by the poorer classes. He said they seemed to enjoy life much more than the average Canadian. When the railway put the stage-| coach line out of business in 1890] the elder Gammon arranged to have the old coach preserved. It was placed in a museum before it was shipped out west. | Gammon has always shown the | coach in public at Banff with two! horses, but it was designed for a| to get along with two because he | can't find anyone who can properly | | drive a se team. | COUNCILLOR QUITS | TORONTO (CP)--The town coun- cil of suburban Weston early today accepted the resignation of coun- cillor Larry Stevenson, who quit in protest over the bill now before the Ontario legislature which would unify public services of Torento | and its 12 suburbs and set up a] team of four.
