an BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times TTVITTITTT bee 4 po The Journal is one year old today. Like most infants »~ {t has suffered a spell of sickness and recovered and with <= your kind indulgence and encouragement it may survive, ~ My engagement calendar for 1966 is staring at me = blankly. Before discarding last year's I have been leafing «through it month by month. My heart skipped a beat = when I noticed that my first "date" in January was with & Evalyne Branch. Mrs, Walter Branch whose untimely "death last Sunday the whole city mourns and I had a long -. chat about her travels, particularly in Russia and Poland. It had not been an easy trip. At times it was wearing to .. keep on schedule and frequently frustrating. ' "Why did you go?" I asked her ,and in her quick, "eager way she replied "Because I wanted to see things "for myself. Because I love people."' Our eyes met and our ©. thoughts touched. It was a moment of sweet accord, " We met on many different occasions in as many dif- ferent places and always felt close. This was a different side of the light-hearted comedienne who gave generously of her talents, spilling mirth into humdrum lives. Our ~ sympathy is a poor substitute for the emptiness she leaves "behind but for her husband and family it is real and abiding. Social Highlights Highlights of January were Polish banquets and the Winter Carnival at Club Loreley. There was the Ontario Regiment Change of Command ceremony at the Oshawa Armouries the Burns' Supper and the Nicol-Starr wedding. MCVI students presented "Life With Father". In February OCVI students presented "The Winslow "Boy" and Oshawa's Sweet Adeli "Four § of Harmony". Oshawa Little Theatre gave a stirring presenta- *tion of 'Twelve Angry Men" and Oshawa Symphony Or- chestra gave a splendid concert. Wing 420 RCAF Associa- tion held its annual dinner and dance and the Pleasant v«Monday Afternoon Club celebrated its 50th anniversary. a March brought the reception service for the junior stu- ~« dents of Oshawa General Hospital School of Nursing; the UAW Auxiliary annual dinner and the anniversary or the Byelorussian Mutual Aid Society. April brought several luncheon dates and spring bazaars and closed with a presentation of Cyrano de Ber- gerac at McLaughlin Collegiate. May brought the sound of music from the Oshawa Symphony afd the Canadian Con- cert Association, Colonel McLaughlin led the grand march at the Regimental Ball and Club Loreley celebrated its "10th anniversary with a sumptuous dinner and dance, The ~Canadian-Ukrainian Women's Association held a May ~ Festival dance and in Toronto the Shah of Iran and his -Empress held a glittering reception. June was graduation month for nurses at Oshawa Gen- ¢ral Hospital with its attendant round of social events and . the Stratford Shakespearean Festival opened with its an- 'ticipated fanfare and excitement duplicated in July with | the unforgettable production of The Cherry Orchard. July 1 was perhaps the warmest and fairest day of a "poor summer and Dominion Day in Oshawa was cele- brated by the biggest and best Folk Festival to date. Down The Hatch July 30 the captain of the visiting escort destroyer St. Laurent returned the compliment of the hospitality extend- ed by the Navy League and Oshawa citizens to his offi- jaa and ratings by hosting a cocktail party on the aft eck. August was uneventful socially and my September diary is filled with travel notes of faraway places while Oshawa was honored by a visit of the Governor-General and madame Vanier. Sorry I missed them but I was chas- ing Tito across Yugoslavia. October gave promise with Thanksgiving suppers and a civic dinner hosted by the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board and the annual fashion show under the aus- pices of the Evening Chapter of the Women's Auxiliary Oshawa General Hospital. The Golden Jubilee Chapter . IODE held a ball in the Hotel Genosha and the Canadian Club presented an Indian Princess Kahn-tineta Horn. The Rotary Club President's Ball and the Chrysanthemum Tea at Parkwood were the social highlights of November. We had a surfeit of culture which included OLT's production of The Lark; The Importance of Being Earnest at MCVI and the National Ballet live and lovely, at The Regent Theatre. The St. Andrew's Society and the Knights of Columbus held annual balls on successive nights and al- together the run on white gloves was unprecedented. Apart from all the Christmas dinners and parties of December the event that attracted wide attention was the marriage of Don Jackson and Joanne Dierck of the Ice Follies. Lay Away The Trimmings that inat Now we have passed Twelfth Night we can put away the Christmas decorations and bundle up the greet- ing cards for Simcoe Hall. How beautiful the cards were this year. The Prime Minister's card was a single fold ~pvith the Royal crest of Canada imprinted in red on the "outside and inside a colored photograph of the. whole Pearson family including eight grandchildren. Mr. Diefen- baker's card also had the royal crest in gold on the front cover and a sepia-tone photograph on the inside was an informal picture of himself and Mrs. Diefenbaker taken in the garden with their enormous pet dog. "The Prime Minister of Ontario and Mrs. John Robarts ~chose for their card an engraving of the Parliament Build- Sings in Queen's Park, copied from a sketch drawn by the architect. in 1887, prior to construction. The Minister of ycHealth, Dr. Matthew Dymond and Mrs. Dymond sent t-@reetings on a card embellished with a gold "partridge *-in a pear tree" and the president of the Canadian National Exhibition selected a color' picture of the Dufferin t~ Gates by night. Colored reproductions of snow-covered peaks in the Rockies were chosen by Mr. R. C. Berkinshaw and Mr. © Walter Gordon and Mr. A. Gordon Cardy chose a quaint «picture of King street east, Toronto, in 1846. Mr. John G, Geikie's personal card was a colored photo- i. 8taph of a small boy in striped pyjamas peering up the » chimney of a cosy fireplace and Colonel R. S. McLaughlin's pigreetings were accompanied by a reproduction of a painting «by Miss Isabel McLaughlin entitled "Autumn Tamarak"', a composition of gold and brown against receeding blues. : Business cards were clever, witty and seasonal ac- cording to their source but perhaps the most elegant came £.from the Abitibi Paper Company depicting the Star of Bethlehem, blazing in a deep blue sky and profiles of the .-Three Wise Men in green, purple and orange on gold form "a mystic background to the pensive man of today. The artist's initials E. A. in the corner bear a personal Signi- ficance. : They Followed A Star * To those of us who follow the Gregorian Calendar this .. Is the feast of Epiphany which marks the visit of the three - wise men to the Christ Child in Bethlehem. They bore i gifts; gold, signifying His kingship, frankincense, His ~ divinity and myrrh, His death, the Supreme Sacrifice, For others who follow the Eastern Rites of the Orthodoc Church it is Christmas and we wish them all the joys and = blessings of the Holy Season, They had a holiday when we celebrated; wouldn't it be nice if we could have another holiday to celebrate with them? Roll on automation. The nature notes Have been lying fallow. I can scarcely bring myself to write of the majestic tree that has gone to its doom over the edge of the cliff. For a year we have "watched the roots become exposed' by the whittling of the « wind. Then the fall rains soaked the surface and the branch- ing giant began to lean. The Christmas rains further soften- ed the restraining earth and the exposed roots clung like "skinny arms to the cruel edge of the escarpment. The - death agony was unbearable.and on the last night of the year the struggle ended. Our big maple tree, haven of song _. birds and queen of mid-day shade, finally gave up and * slid forever from our view, taking with her a great bite of "lawn. We cannot win the battle against' wind 'and weather. _, We are losing ground and there is a moral here but I don't want to end the journal on a gloomy note.

"In my case," she says, "I'm ruining my chances to get any- where in my job because of my fearful approach to it. "But I guess I was born with a worried look, since that's my reputation. And now that I'm working at my first job, my worries are really getting me down, because of the daily pres- sures and demands, the compe- tition with others and the gnaw- ing fear I won't be good at the things I'm asked to do. "Does every older worker ex- perience this feeling?" ALL AGES FRET Worry is no respecter of age and many workers fret unduly. Some others, in a defense against worrying, refuse to care how they do their jobs. But when you are like this reader, you need to take cor- rective measures. As Dr. Os- wald Hoffman of radio's Lu- theran Hour has pointed out, anxiety can inflate .,ordinary problems and blow them up to giant size. You often think your worries won't cease until they ruin you. To keep this problem from worrying you right out of your present job, try these mental maneuverings.

Moderator Dr. Benjamin Schlesinger of Toronto said Mrs. Jaglom's remarks showed that adults will not listen to their children, Dr. Schlesinger said they also showed that Israelis do not un- derstand Canadians. He said: | "I am sick and tired of being misunderstood. The Israelis don't have any idea of what life is like here, They don't under. stand our youth. There must be ja two-way bridge, not a one-| way bridge with us expected to understand Israelis while they don't understand us."

Delores was not yet 16 so we had the marriage an- nulled. She kept sneaking out of the house to meet the boy after we had gone to sleep and it was impossible to contro] her. A few months ago it became apparent that Delores was pregnant. When the boy learned of her condition he told her he wanted nothing more to do with her. We sent Delores to a home for un- wed mothers where she agreed to give up the child for adop- tion. Three weeks ago Delores wrote that she has changed her mind, The boy is out there and wants to marry her. They want to keep the baby.

Dew: Ann Landers; We've been «married six years and have four children. My wife stays up every night until 2;00 or 3:10 a.m. She says she has insommia so she finds things to keep her busy, like sewing or Ironing or looking at TV. She claims: her best sleep is a nap in ther afternoon while the kids nap, I gett up at 7:00 a.m. and of course' she is so beat at that hour she can't get her head off the dewk. I make my own break- fast and the kids are awfully good about staying in bed until my wife gets them up. (She keeps them up late so they will let hew sleep in the morning.) We quarre] a lot and she com- plains that the romance has gone gut of our marriage, She says I, am cranky and I say she is lazy, What's wrong here?-- Scotty' Deat Scotty: A woman who has had four babies in six years has iver hands full. You can hardly call her lagy because She dinesn't dance the frug at 7:00 a.m. You; both need to air your comphaints to a third party. I recomanend the clergyman who married you.

"And as for you who applaud, you are the ones who say it is fine to send young people to Is- rael as long as they are not your sons and daughters," he said. He later apologized to Mrs. Jaglom for sounding rude, but said he would not take back his words. Mr. Devor agreed there were challenges in Israel. "Not every Jewish kid in Canada is going to go to Israel," he said. 'We have to find something for the ones who are going to stay here." The four day conference ended with a banquet Thursday night.
