Take Steps To Vandalism In Ask Increase In Increment The Oshawa General Hospital board Tuesday night received its requests from the seven mem- ber Graduate Nurse Negotiating Committee. After hearing the committee's requests read by Superintendent W. A. Holland, the board voted to refer the re- quests to the finance commit. tee for study. The committee asked that in- crements be increased from $10 to $15 monthly and that they be increased for every member of the graduate nursing staff. The second request was that annual vacations be increased from three to four weeks. Request number three was that increases in salaries, in all categories be given, to meet with the Registered Nurses As- sociation of Ontario recommen- dations. Definite policies for part time nurses were asked and the fifth request was that permanent part time employees should be en- titled to partial vacation bene- fits. Mr. Holland explained that should the committee's requests be granted, they would not be- come effective until the first | Rochester Stop Contestant Parks Wins Trophy i i k.

Lords, ladies, soldiers, bear- ers, bishops and cardinals, all held their moments on the stage, but Douglas Campbell in bearing, style and physical ap- pearance was Holbein's Henry VIII re-incarnate, and around this robust monarch revolved a supporting cast of the first mag- nitude, From the prologue, well spoken by Eric Christmas, to his epilogue were many brilliant scenes: Henry's first meeting with Anne Boleyn at a masque given by Cardinal Wolsey, the "Holy Fox'; the arrest of the Duke of Buckingham, played by Jack Creley, whose fine enun- ciation was a joy. Kate Reid rose to her great- est heights yet on the festival stage as Queen Katherine and her scene at her trial and later, her accusation of the Cardin- als, gave the role a greater im- pact than probably Shakespeare himself ever saw, his heroines being played by men and boys. Of the "Holy Fox" himself, Cardinal Wolsey, played by Douglas Rain, his famous soli- loquies after his downfall car- ried more weight than his ear- lier arrogance.
