He said a man from the oth- er car asked if anything was the matter and was told to call the police.

She said she was reluctant to tell Crown Attorney Hatry Day- man the name of the man she was with the night of the inci- dent ,, because he's a married man."

Mr. Stone presented a simi- lar program recently to the the Oshawa Registered Music Teachers, and it was felt that at that time that this present- ation was of such a superior nature that it warrented a pub- lic presentation, These children will inspire and challenge the listener. The Concert will be held at the Oshawa Missionary College Auditorium. Improvising is "Making up as you go along'. Most children can improvise on the piano Key- board, and can do so expertiy when encouraged and taught to do so, The improviser will be a player all his life, for playing will be easy for him, and he will always enjoy doing it.
