The pragram opened with the National Anthema. Rev. R. E. Morton asked the audience ta ob- serve one minute ai silence in deference ta the memory ai the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, President ai The United States ai America. The Young People's Union chorus cansisting ai 20 voices rendered "Came ta the Fair" and a vocal duet by Miss Pauline De- Line and Glenn AlUin, "Take Thou This Rose" and as an encore, "Let the Rest ai the Warld Go By" were much enjoyed. Pauline's beautiful mezzo -soprano and Glenn's mellaw baritone blended charmingly tagether. The maie quartet consisting ai Ross, Glenn, and Stanley Allen and Wilbert Baskerville, gave a spirited ren- dition ai "Bulldag on the Bank" and "The Piemaker's Sang". The next number was a musi- cal novelty entitied "The River ai the Rases," and when the stage curtain pulled back, showed three couples occupying three garden benches, the girls wearing dresses ai another era, the centre bench couple were Pauline DeLine and Glenn AlUin; the twa side benches were accupied by Pauline Branch and Neil Brîttan, Margaret Hock- en and Tracy Embley. A chorus ai eight couples, the gir s laoking sweet and charming ili modern evening dress, staod behind the benches and sang the titie piece "The River ai the Rases". The eiiect was extremeiy attractive and it was ane ai the prettiest musical numbers on the pragram. Members ai the chorus were Betty Stephenson, Murray Wal- DUILD UNIONS5 15 ADYICE... Oshawa and District Labor Council Bids Workers Bud Unions frProtection After WarD FORTY years before Canada becaine a nation - ta be exact, 118 years ago - the first Canadian trade union was formed. 0 Our unions are as Canadian as the Maple Leaf, as modern as the industry which. gave 0 them birth. f As long as a man must seil his labor to another there will be need for trade unions. Today two and one-haif million Canadians are connected with unions. Yes, Canadian I unions are growing and you, John and Jane Q. Public, shou:id get ta know more about them. 0 0 At the outbreak of the war only about 360,000 Canadians belonged to labor unions. At 0 the end of 1943 the figure had increased by more than 85 per cent ta 665,000. By the f beginning of 1945 it exceeded 700,000. 0f this nuinber 80- 000 were women. In the automobile industry, for instance, union membership is more than six times what it was four years ago. In steel, rubber and other industries, a sinilar rapid growth has been recorded.

Probably 100,000 men naw in uniform were at one tinie or another active members of labor unions. All this gives labor a pretty big stake i wat is gaing to happen i this country. During this war organized labor gained its spurs in the field of production. It has won the admiration of Canadians and the plaudits of our allies for itu war record. The labor movement taday speaks for a lot of Canadians. Its influence is growing. "Keep your eyes on labor" is a good bit of advice for those who want to understand events in Canada during the coming years. HIGHLY ORGANIZED HERE Unions operate i most Oshawa and district industries. In fact, this district is the most highly organized in Canada. t is not enough ! Our goal must be 100 per cent union organ ization in every plant and factory in this conimunity.

William Jackson O n e of Newcastle's highly esteemed citizens,- Mr. William Jackson, celebrated his 8 6 t h birthday an Saturday, April l4th. His many friends extended hlm their best wishes and congratula- tions on the occasion. He was born in Kirby, the youngest of six children of James and Mary Jack- son and is the only surviving member of his family. Mr. Jack- son has always been keenly in- terested in the theatrical f ield and was for a number of years ad- vance manager for Wilson Day Theatrical Co. and also toured Canada playing a leading role in their productions. His daughter, Mrs. Percy Brown, inherited her father's dramatic ability and had the memorable experience of singing on the stage at the age of three years. Mr. Jackson drove the mail and passenger stage from Orono to Newcastle until 1912 when the railway came to Orono. He has stili retained his connec- tion with His Maj esty's Mail and is now in charge of one of the rural routes out of Newcastle. He bas been capable and efficient bailiff for a number of years, and has also served and is serving the Community Hall as ticket collect- or. ton, Mary Toms, John Gibson, Yvonne Megit, Bobby Stephenson, Marie Allun, Maurice Pedwell, Evelyn Allin, Morley Allin, Raye Venner, Bob Allin, Francis Mor- gan, Ross Allun, Betty Allin and Francis Jose. Then followed the one act play "Merry Molly Malone" the cast of which. contained the younger members of the Y.P.U. They ahl played their parts in a splendid manner and as if they ahl thoroughly enjoyed the game of make-believe. Marie Allin ini the title role of Molly Malone, a pretty Irish. Coleen was in looks, costume and manner believably striking. Win- cheli Barrington, of the upper classes and who was troubled with the "Gout" was played by John Gibson in a capable manner. Barbara Bonathan as Nella Bar- rington, the snobbish wife of Winchell and who with her dark hair powdered grey and wlth the assistance of a lorgnette which she handled expertly gave a splendid interpretation of the part. Ilga Barrington, the snob- bish daughter, was played by Doreen Enwright who gave a most convincing and well acted performance of the raIe. Glenn Allun as Noel Barrington the son of the house, who was in love with Molly and wished to marry her, acted his part weli and looked so handsome one could imagine how easy it was for Molly 1to lose her hçart to him. Mary Toms as the housekeeper Bridget O'Hara, who had difficulty with her "Madams" had the comedy role of the play and caused much merriment to the audience. Fran- cis Jose as Perry VanLone, weal- thy young man in love with lka 1Barringtn, and wh92 posed as a 1young man about tdmn, but wha iturned out ta be thé' brother of Molly Malone, played the part with ease and aplomb. The love affairs of the two couples have a happy ending as the act con- cludes. Miss Pauline DeLine appeared 1in a song and dance novelty numn- 1ber "The Easter Parade". Tis >number was as good as any seen in the various musical numbers of the recent moving pictures. Her singing and dancing were splen- did and it is hoped that she will make the stage her life work as her many admirers feel sure a egreat success awalts her in that 1field. As an encore which the eaudience însisted on, Pauline gave another novelty number entitled "Shine On Harvest Moon," in which number Morley Allin took the role of the male admirer. Pauliiie as an additional number esang "My Buddy," which she ex- 1plained in a touching little speech she was singing for her only bro- ether, LAC Harold DeLine, naw with the R.C.A.F. in Belgium. George Walton favored with a vocal solo "When 1 Graw Too Old to Dream" and as an encore sang "That's An Irish Lullaby". He >received an ovation from the 1audience who insisted on him re- p eating the encore again. It was have the pleasure of hearing George Walton's lovely golden tenor voice. It is hoped in the future the public will often have that privilege.

Make sure these simple, pleasant things exist for hirn when he cornes back. Remember that it is possible for them to exist only if his dollar is worth a dollar! By protecting hi *s dollar, we help to protect bis future. That's why we must realize NOW the dangers that lie in careless, unnecessary buying. Neyer buy two where one will do. Buy only what we need. We must support rationing and price control and encourage others to support them, and we must avoid ALL deal- ings with black markets. These are the rules. If we break thern, we can be certain that we will start our country - bis country - on the spiral of inflation.' Prices shoot sky-high. Wages try to catch up, and neyer succeed. You may pay a dollar for 30 cents worth of goods, and this means your dollar- your soldier's dollar - is worth only 30 cents. There's no lirnit to inflation, and there's no stopping it once it starts. So, let's make sure OUR boys will corne back to a protected dollar- a dollar that will buy a full dollar's worth of goods. Let's keep up the llght against inflation, every day, in every way we can, s0 that our men overseas can look forward to pleas- ant, satisfying living . .. the Cana- dian way of life.
