Seminar Held in New York Five members of the Business and Professional Women's Olub of Osh- |{7- awa have returned from a three- day seminar at the United Nations in New York, where they were dele- gates ih a group of over 70 repre- senting various Business and Pro- fessional Women's Clubs in On- tario, v The Oshawa delegates were Mrs. G. D. Conant, National Chairman ,| U.N. Liaison Comulise, Miss Madeline _ Elizabeth Morland, Mise Miloreq Price and Miss Jennie Pringle. At the next meeting of the club on April 20, | Mr: they will present to the Club a resume of the seminar by means of a panel discussion, The purpose of the seminar was to inform the delegates, and through them the members of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs throughout Ontario, of the done 4 United Na- tions. nited Nations could by do a the member nations would do through it, in- formed public opinion in the mem- ber nations was essential to its success. Unfortunately the day by day humanitarian activities do not reach the headlines, In welcoming the delegates, the Honourable Lester B, Pearson, president of the General Assembly, emphasized this thought when he pointed out that the United Na- tions should not in fairness be criticized for failing to accomplish its political objectives of peace and security since it could only act as a forum wherein the countries of the world could express themselves. "The United Nations," he said, "is a mirror reflecting the state of the world, but the mirror cannot be blamed if the reflection in it is not a very happy one, but it is better for the world to have this reflection." The group attended sessions of the General Assembly, the Com- mission on the Status of Women, the Technical Assistance Commis- sion and the Narcotics Commission, Besides this they were addressed by directors of various United Na- tions departments and members of the Canadian Mission, so that the three-day seminar gave a composite picture of 'the many and varied ac- tivities carried on by' the United Nations and its agencies. The International Hospitality Committee, consisting of New York and New Jersey Business and Pro- fessional Women's Clubs enter- | tained them on Wednesday even- ing and the Honourable Ray Law- son, Canadian Consul-General at New York, and Mrs. Lawson gave a tea for the delegates on Friday af- ternoon. Opening Night Approaches Fast For OLT Players Several members of Oshawa Little Theatre who have given notable performances in previous produc- tions will be lending their talent to the last play in the current season, At My Heart's Core, opening on Friday night at the OCVI audi- torium, The play written by Robertson Davies of Peterborough depicts a phase in the lives of some early settlers in that neighborhood, and is based on fact. Mr. Davies wrote the play especially for the centen- nary of the City of Peterborough, and the trials and tribulations of the characters might equally apply to those who first came from the relative comforts of the old world, to tussel with the hardships and strange loneliness of the new in and around Oshawa. Mrs. Moodie and Mrs. Traill, played by Harriet Rapley and Constance Watt, are two ladies of culture and refinement who are among the misfits, while the wild Irishman, Phelim, played by Des- mond Staunton is the kind to make himself at home anywhere. The major role of Mr. Cant- well is being carried by Ernest H. Winter successful director of many student plays, and the OLT entry in the Drama Festival, who is all too infrequently seen behind the footlights. The play is being directed by Olive Fleming who has taken hold of the technical difficulties it pre- sents to mold the whole into a creditable presentation of the not- too-distant past. 5,5 bo Division Street, to a congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary. ir profusion of and a Sortent of greeting ca and maj conveyed the re; nS the | Mrs. fouple are held 4% circle of | Thom: nds in Oshawa which has been | i the home for 44 years, and east as far as Newcastle, Mrs. Legge's home town.
