Central Presents will be great as usual this year. All three plays are comedies that will keep the laughs rolling outward and the money rolling in at a great rate as it has been this week. The graph in the lobby keeps tting redder and all of the day night tickets have been so this year's Central Pre- ought. to have quite a of money for next year's Productions. Because of the combined efforts of quite a few members of the staff, Central should have a smashing success on their hands. SERIOUS COMEDY One of the plays to be pre- sented is "Op 0' Me Thumb", which is Cockney for "hop on my thumb". This play is a ser- ious comedy which is as close as I can come to defining it. The next two plays are "Kitten in the Elm Tree" and "How to Capture and Keep a Husband", which are both farce comedies. Sounds like a very entertain- ing and enjoyable production. SPECIAL SERVICES CLUB Central has a new club this year, the SSC, or Special Serv- ices Club. This group, made up of boys from the Industrial Aris Classes, are already on their way to being a useful and help- ful organization. They are the busy little workers who make the stage settings and work be- hind the scenes, helping to make 'agement Association.

The plaque will bear the names of the boys' football and basketball teams which have gained a COSSA victory. The plaque will have spaces for the names of our past, present, and future COSSA champs.

Roberts, principal of the school, will speak. His topic will be "The New Look in Ontario Educa- tion', The wives of the mem- bers will attend. The talk will enable the mem- bers to learn more about the new Robarts plan for education in the province. Mr. Roberts is a past presi- dent of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation and a past member of the gov- erning body of the Canadian cently to help with its expenses. It turned out to be a wonderful success. They sold all of their candy and still had plenty of buyers waiting. They made about $25. To those students who enjoy- ed the candy, think about how good it tastes, and then think about your dime being added to all of those other 2,490 dimes that helped the Council to a $25 gain in their funds. JUNIOR PROM Did you think I had forgotten the Junior Prom? Not on your life! It is just that it is so good, that I had to save it for last. The name of this dance is Roman Holiday and its theme is "Three Coins in a Fountain'. The colors for the prom are blue, pink, and mauve. I am toid that the colors sound awful but once you see them. together they look very nice. The prom is being held on Friday, Feb. 22, and the price is $2 per couple. It is an invita- tion dance, but has a strange twist to it. A junior student may go with a junior, or a senior may go with a junior. At first it was agreed that a_ senior could not come with a senior, but it has been decided that if ticket sales do not pick up, the dance committee will allow the seniors to come to the dance to- gether. The Junior Prom will 'be a first in Central's history if all of the juniors will come out to it. Never before has there been a Junior Prom at Central that has been such a success that it could continue from year to year; so get out there, you juniors who have been envying the seniors and support your Junior Prom and your Student Teachers' Federation.

The work of the Ontario Branch of the Canadian Heart Foundation was outlined and explained in interesting fashion to the members of The Oshawa Kiwanis Club at their luncheon meeting this week, by guest speaker Murray Robertson, ex- ecutive director of the Founda: tion. Quoting statistics assembled by the Heart Foundation's fa- cilities, the speaker revealed that about 77,000 people die each year of various heart ail- ments and that 42 per cent of these deaths are of people be- tween the ages of 35 and 52. Outlining the tremendous and rapid progress that is being made, almost via weekly steps: eases, the speaker disclosed how much the use of the heart- lung machine had contributed to successful surgery concern- ing the heart, such as the re- placing of "worn-out" valves, installing new blood vessels, in the heart, etc, Mr. Rotertson pointed out six weeks, a new machine has been put into use at the Toron- Children's _ Hospital, where. 350 operations per year, or an average of one-per-day, is performed.

The remain- der is spread over a program that includes the education of the profession, acquainting doc- tors with the latest inventions, improvements in technique, etc., done through the use of movie films, pamphlets, books, a tra- velling clinic, lectures at uni- versities, etc. The other phase of the educa- tional program, that of educat- ing the public, is carried on through similar media.

Two-storey House Burns|: DUNBARTON (Staff) -- No. body is quite sure who owned a two-storey brick house that burned to the ground Friday afternoon, pouring out thick black smoke seen for miles. The man believed to be the owner, Brian Gill of West Hill said he hadn't completed ar- rangements for the sale with the Canadian National Railway, pre- vious owners, and had not ac- tually bought the house. New foundations for the house were being built. It was moved 200 yards north of its original site, two weeks ago. It was lifted and moved to the new site to make way for a new CNR spur line to run throught the village. One of the workmen of the project, Libero Vecchirelli, To. ronto, said he was just going into the house when he noticed smoke and flames all around the oil furnace. He called the fire department. Neighbors said the workmen had piled 16 bundles of straw in the house's new basement to keep out wind blowing through the glassless windows as they worked. At one point during the blaze, fire fighters ran out of water, and until more arrived, about 20 minutes later, the fire burned on unhampered. South - west Pickering Fire Chief Don Lynde, -called in two other volunteer fire departments from other parts of the town- ship when it became obvious the fire was a big one. Some of the men fighting the fire had been out in 15 below zero cold early Friday morning, putting out a blaze in a French. man's Bay summer cottage. REFUGEES ARRIVE MIAMI, Fla.
