ON ~@TO ______________________________ ~~'.C ~ 3Â~.4~41 U, UuI Curent Con fidential By Elsie Carruthers Lwn WE PAY A VISIT A visit ta the Aduit Art Class at the Lions Community Cen- tre last Friday evening pnoved most interesting. Mr. Arnold Hodgkins is the director. Stu- dents are of bath sexes and al ages, and enjoy wonking toge- ther because they are all drawn by the same interest-art. Friday vias rather an impor- tant evening because class memn- bers bnaugbt wbat they consid- ered thein best work, framed, ta be judged, the four pictures chosen by the judgesta be en- tered in the East Central On- tario Amateur Art Display. Thbis display wiii be a travelling exhibition, visiting many, 'Oni- tanjo centres during the aum- mer and Faîl. -The pictunes shown by mem- bers bene showed same very good wonk and made a very creditable little art gailery. Ths- four chosen by the judges you mray read of elsewbene in this issuîe. While the judges were doing their considering in the Green Room, the usual class gat under way upstairs. though a littie late owing ta the extra flurry of bringing pictures and setting tbemn up. The subject for Fr1- day night's class was a campos- ition of still life, and ta an ob-q sevrlike ourselves, it wasi highly intenesting ta ace how each of the 12 people present went about painting this aa-1 signment. Mr. Hodgkins mov-g ed about, lending a helping1 hand here and there, or giving advice. Ifley The class bas recer painting old bouses ai ings anound Boviman% of course this is bowl Up aur alley.

[Glen Rae Dairy~ SMA 3-5444 Bowmanville , Citizens of Perth, Ontario, have been getting a Hollywood angle on tbings lately we un- derstand. The National Film Board bas been making a mo- vie thene. nat a documentany, witb tovinspeople playing thein real life raies. The picture is called "The Curlers" and was written by Norman Glenman and directed by William David- son. The five leading raies are played by the mayor, E. Scott Buncheli; two lawyers, H. C. Willson and Hugh O'Donnell, Jr.: and twa dairy farmers, H. Cutbbertsan and Waldo Arbu- thnot. Acconding ta the repart we read, hundreds of othens, in- cluding an Anglican minister, Rev. Caulfield; the local mem- ber of Parliament, Dr. Blair, and Magistrate Smith of Smiths Falls, appeared in scenes. Scenes were shot on the tovin streets, Perth Curling Club, the court bouse, lawyers' offices, farm bouses and the lobby and dining room of a hotel. WeTl bet the people of Perth have been having a whale of a time. The Film Board's idea is ta en- tertain, but at the same time partray Canadian life. This is the fîrst of three pictures on the same lines. Anyone who knows Perth and its citizens will 'be anxious ta see the pic- tune just filmed. If we get word of vihere it may be viewed, vie wil pass it along. SPRING ARMY We saw and beard Kildeer on Manch iOth, another gaad sign that Spring is on the way. March l6th will mark six weeks fram Groundhog Day, and it bas been suggested ta us that on that day vie should look for an army of Gnoundhogs step- ping forth fnom their winter dens. But we'll bet they will be sleeping soundly in their iittle beds for neariy another month. SALUTE TO ST. PATRICK It being St. Patrick's Day, here's wishing the best of luck ta aIl Irishmen. Even over a span of three or four genera- tions, that special feeling for the native country of one's an- cestars is still a sentimental spark in the hearts of Cana- dians. Today it's old Irelarid that takes the salute. ENFIELD (Intended for last wcek) Mr. and Mns. George Bray, Raglan, visited with Mns. W. J. Ormiston. Mn. and Mns. W.

When you give it the extra nudge that moves it beyond the fuit throttle position, something hap- pens that neyer happened before in an automobile. You hear a businesslike purr, which tells you that twenty power vanes, deep inside the 19 55 Dynaflow Drive,* have changed their pitch-just like the vari- able pitch propellers on a modern airliner. And with the same reý,tflt in the way you get-up- and-go, with a safety-surge of power for pulling out of a tight spot on the highway. Words can't describe it. It's a new sensation- something you simply must try for yourself. There's nothing like it on the 1955 new-car horizon. Fact is, there's a lot to see at your Buick dealer's. There's fresh new styling. There's higher horse- povier in every Buick V8 engine. There's a nevi Airpower carburetor. And there'sgoodoid-fashioned lntegrity lni every nut, boit and rivet. But, this year,- don't simply make a visit to the showroom where these trim and thrilling new beauties are on display. The smart thing to do-if you want to know what's what in new automnobiles-is to get behind the wheel ofa 1955 Buick and driveit.
