Again this year, paintings by local artists were on display for a month in the Library Auditor- jum and were visited by many interested people. This display by Mrs. C. E: loved charter member, the or- ganization to perpetuate the memory of Mrs, Walter (Agnes) Corben. This Memorial took the form of annual mem- bership in the Oshawa Little The- atre whereby ten collegiate stu- dents, most interested in drama, would be privileged to attend the season's oroduction of plays. Drama was a subject in which Mrs. Corben was very much in- terested, and in which she took an active part. The Literary and Reading Club continues to function under the capable leadership of Mrs. H. Si Wies td Mss. 5 W. Bard, Honor came to the club this year when Mrs. Ewart McLaugh- lin (painting under the name of Alexandra Luke) was made a member of the Canadian Society of Water Colors.

THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 3, 1959 J Third Nurse Joins Staff - As Work of VON Increases The Oshawa Branch of the Vic- torian Order of Nurses continues to aid in the welfare of our citi- zens.

Miss Isobel Sorley, Miss Audrey Seifried and Miss Rose Lunny, from Belfast, Ireland, make up the staff. The VON shares in the Com- munity Chest and also receives a grant from the city of Oshawa. A fee of three dollars is charged where ihere is the ability to pay. In other cases the fee is ar- ranged to suit the budget of the individual patient and yet again, the visit is free to those unable to pay. Thus the service extends to all citizens.
