PAGE EIGHT TI!E CANADIA!< STATESMAN, DOWMANVff.!Z, ONTAR!O THU1~sDÂY, l'EU. 1,Ih, IU Ontaric drivers, wbether ziewly licensed or wlth manyi years' experience, will find inuch of interest or value in a iew publication ofi the Ontario * epartment cof Transport-The * river's Handbook. 'Safe driving and the pro- tection of ail who use the streets and highways," Hon. :ohn Yaremko, Minister of Transport announces, "is the basis upon which the Handbook svas planned. If has been writ- ten clearly andl has many illus- trations, so that ail drivers may > àeadily undcnstand its contents. 1 Anyonc reading the bookief will agree with the remark in fthe introduction that 'driving a n automobile is a full-time job, requiring tlie driver's com- Iplete attention." The Driver's Handbook con- tains the latest information and Sîxplanations of the nules o! the road, parking, what ta do in case cf an accident, vehicle equip- Irient and maintenance, how fa get and keep a licence to drive, Cet Cash To-day For Old Appliances through STATESMAN C LAS SI1F IED S Phone MArket 3-3303 by ELSIE CAIRUTHERS LUNNEY ,-WHIO SAID SPRING? Docs if mean anything fa you that a littie over a month from riow samething occurs callcd flic vernal equinox? At least if sounds like spring. On or about Mardi 21 the days and niglits are o! equal lcngtli. and up ln fliese nortliern parts we date thie beag4nning of spring from that fime even if there is a bliz- zard raging outsîde. Af James Bay or Flin Flan fhls must secm even funnier. Ah well. That was a beaufi- fui ice storm lasf Saturday. Did you ever sec anYtLhing more spectacular than flic ice laden frees and bushes on Sunday with the 'sun dazzling your eyes with ail the colours o!flihe spectrum? Two icc storms in onc week arc not fie kimd o! record breakers wc appreciate, but fiere is no use d2nying flic urearfhly beauty o! the resuits.

An Englisi Sparrow anc day lasf wcek came ta fthe Wrcn's bouse and made a greaf to-do. He nearly stran- gled iimself frying fa gef in thc entrance which was muc fo smaîl for hlm. But lic kcpf on trying, and when lic gof fircd lie clirnbed up on flic roof and -affer a fcw seconds' rcsf gave severai clarion cails. Tirce marc sparrows appeared as if jerk- ed on strings. Thaf cali certain- ly said somcfhing. Wiaf was it? Anyway anc ispected flic small bouse flat had caused ail the excitement, but fIe other two seemed unimprwaed and soon !lew away. Just whilc on the subject of birds, a couple o! wceks ago we were tbrilled to see several rose colourcd bîrds witî their duller spouses in the rowan tree at my parents' place. Tliey were Pine Grosbeaks, beautiful birds. They are very fond of! rowan and mountain ash ber- ries and tliey stayed in flie free, whicb is laden witî fliem flua year, for most ofi the affernoon. Tliey are occasional winter vis- itors in these parts. I fbink if was a couple o! winters ago that I saw a small fiock. LOOKING FORWARD TO STRATFORD Harry Golden, author o! "On- ly In America", tells in thaf un- usual hook that sucli great men as Thomas Jefferson and Ben- jamin Franklin did flot believe in cluttcring their minds with details and information that could be looked up. This seemed very comforting when we firsf read it. For a whule we did mot icel so ashamed o! not being alle to remember fities, names, wbere we had read sucli and sucb an item. But we soon dis- covcrcd a snag. The flieory is entircly workable-so long as you don't throw ouftflie sour- ces of information. Ever since we heard that «'Othello" was ta lie ome of the plays at Stratford (Ontario) this year we have been trying fo remember thie name of the Eu- ropean actor who played the rois at flie Crcsf, causing much controversy, and who fIat sum- mer played Shylock in "The Merchant ofi Venice" at Strat- ford. We saw botb performances and thought bis acting marvel- lous, thougli a good part o! bis lines were uninfelligible. He bas since died. No, no. Don't tell me now. Aiter looking tbrougb masses o! programs, slips of paper, nofebooks and a column done on Stratfofrd tbat sumnien, the name was still missing. But im- mediateiy on starting te asic someone else about if, the name lcapt into my brain-Frederick Vaik. Anyway, we are glad fhe Stratffrd Company will do "Othello" wifh Douglas CamP-1 bell in the lcad role and Fran- ces Hyland as Desdomana, and "'As You Like If" wifh Irene Wortb, will make a deliglifful contrasf. It is bard to say how adverse comment startg,, but once sfartcd, if grows alarming- ly, and foolishly. Up ffli now there bas been nothing but en- tlusiasm and praise for the Strafford Festival. Why flic sudden chili wind? The plays are good choices, fhe directors have high repufations which tbey have earned through fIeir1 successes, the festival is well establislied, witî ever increas- ing prestige on this continent and abroad. The director o! "As Yeu Like It" will be British Peter Wood wbose recent productions in- cude O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometî" in London's West End, and "Mary Stuart" for the Oid Vic. "Othello" will lie directed by Jean Gascon, directon and founder o! the iamed Le Thea- tre du Nouveau Monde o! Mon- treal, and Camadian actor-direc- ton George McCowan, .last sea- son's co-director oiflice Festi- val production o! "Henry IV, Part One", a marvellous pro- duction we thouglif. What if Michael Langham will pDnly acf in a supervisory capacify? Tbese directons can stand on their own feet. There were those wbo thouglit fthc wbole tbing would collapse wben Tyron Guflirie leit. But Mn, Guthrie found*ed well and fruly and the Festival bas since grown and flourîsbed and ex- perimented and expandcd. As if will continue to do. The feel- ing o! most people wbo attend, is to look forward te it more each year. I sec ne reason for amy change in thaf attitude. 35 members were brave enough to attend. Mrs. E. Bantlng atd ag mistress o! ceremonies on be- hli o! tIc sponsoring group, Club 15. The meeting apened wîfh the piaying o! "God Save flic Qucen" followed by a tap dance number by two young Bowmanviile dancers, Shirley Pat!ield and Canal Sheehan. These youngsters rccently ap- pearcd on a TV talent show. Canolyn Stacey, a student at Ontario Sf. School, prcscnted a vcry interesting speech an "Camping". This speech was greatly enjoyed by everyonc present, and if was plain to sec why Carolyn bad donc so well in the recent District Public Spcaking fina]s. Miss Vivian Sadier dcllgbted fthc audience wifh two favorite vocal numbers, "Blesa This House" and "IGot tlic Wbolc World in His Haxids". Miss June Wood acted as accompanisf fa Miss Sadler. Affer thamking all c enter- tainers for their excellent per- formances, Mrs. Banfing intro- duccd Mr. Howard Foley, who togeflier with Mrs. Folcy and Mn. and Mrs. A. Saunders, re- cently affemdcd flic Confenence o! Ont aria Recreafional Assoc- iation in Limdsay. Mr. Foley stated thaf aIl four o! thcm had fhorougbly enjoyed their day in Lindsay, and lad came back wifh many ideas for making their Senior Citizens group more active and varied. He menfioned mamy projects being carried on by similar clubs in flic district, cammenting on flie fact that many of these groupa wcrc more indcpendent flian the Bowmamville group in planning and organizing thein owm activities. He !inisbed by fbankimg flic Recreational De- partmemt for makîng their trip possible. Mn. A.
