2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 26, 1975 Women's Club (From Page One) special occasion. Greetings were sent to the group from Mrs. Joyce Poul- son, one of three members of the local club who live in Lindsay. She was unable to be at the meeting. because she suffered a fractured ankie several weeks ago. À delicious dinner was served by the Ladies Auxi- liary of St. Andrew's and the meal was followed by the cutting of a 25th anniversary birthday cake. The honor went to Mrs. Marion Jeffery, who is the only charter member still active in the local B &P club. Mrs. Jeffery was later called upon to give a brief review of her personal memo- ries of the clubover the years. She recalled, somewhat wryly, that she originally joined the club wit fu knowledge that ex-members of a business orprofession were nat eligible ta hoid executive positions in it. At that time she had temporarily left her career as a teacher to raise a family. Her days without executive responsibilities were number- ed; however returning to wark, she subsequently heid every elected pst in the club except the treasurer's posi- tion. During the years when membership was low, she handled duties as president for three terms. When the club was first chartered in 1950, meetings were held at the Balmoral Hotel. The members con- tinued to gather there until 1964 when the graup opted in favor of the basement hall at St. Andrew's Church. Mrs. Jeffery had many words of praise for the ladies of the auxiliary who cater to the DENIS PIZZERIA 8 SIMPSON AVE.

Club conventions have been a highlight for Mrs. Jeffery and several other members of the Bowmanville organization over thep ast few years. She mentionedgatherings in Que bec City, Ottawa, Edmonton and Sault Ste. Marie, and emphasized that she found these most stimulating, espe- cially for the opportunity to hear many of Canada's top business and professional women speak. During the period when the club was at its lowest point in active membership, Bowman- ville B &P won the trophy for best membership increase - a whopping 33 per cent! That year the club gained four new members to boost the total to 16. Present membership now stands at 28 women. The entertainment for the evening was provided bysJohn Manuel, an accountant who recently opened a business in Bowmanville. An accomplish- ed pianist, he played selec- tions from The Sting, a medley of tunes dedicated to girls, and an amusing rendition of Chop- sticks. The guest speaker for the anniversary meeting was Mrs. Dorothy Brown of Osha- wa who was ably introduced- by Ruth Fowler, the Record- ing Secretary of the Bowman- ville club. Mrs. Brown, a Past Presi- dent of the provincial chapter of the club, remarked that she was particularly hapy to be in Bowmanville for the special celebration. Referring to the years when membership was low, she expressed pride in the local club for managing to 'weather the storm.' Her topic for the evenng was both encouraging and thought-provoking. She ex- plained that while she thought it would be great to bring a new, terrific message to the club on this occasion, she noted that "many themes have been discussed many times and in many different ways." "Some things can stand to be repeated, " Mrs. Brown said. She asked her audience to recall seminars given by Dr. Doroth Ford in the late fifties. At tattime, Dr. Ford had encouraged all B & P members to establish goals for themselves. "Do you remember what your's were? Have you achieved them?" "If women are ta improve both individually and collec- tively, we must continue to graw." Mrs. Brown observed that if management jobs for women are few, and the pay less than what men receive in comparable positions, 'then we must continue to learn new skls ..and develoapta aur full patential." This word of ad- vice applies not only to women seeking executive positions, but also to the girl who says she is just a book-keeper, or just a typist, or just a o usewife." She urged women ta take, courses ta further their deve- iopment and nated that cam- munity coaleges within easy reach affer a wide range of choices at a cost that is not prohibitive. Professional fields that were once considered to be for men only have become less restrîcted, Mrs. Brown said. She gave examples of women who have become geologists, marine biologists, civil engi- neers and electrical draughts- men. StilI, "if we expect doors to open, we must be ready." Luck, she added, "is when opportunity and preparedness meet head on. When you're through learning, you're through. Mrs. Brown pointed out that the climate for women has changed greatly over the past several years. "Whereas a woman was previously pres- sured by society to marry, she can now choose both marriage and a career - or she can have it all - a career, a' husband and children."

CLASSIFIED HIT THE HEADLINES Our fair town of Bowman- ville has been hitting the headlines recently in the daily papers. A story in the printed next week describes ttown as 'Boomtown' and quotes a couple who are en- jying life here. Its main teme is that housing is much cheaper here than in Toronto. A nlot so pleasant story ap- peared in Wednesday's Sun, cncerning the alleged bru- taity that takes place at the taining school here. Two boys, former residents at te school supported accu- stions made by a probation oficer who was fired.

Cartwright putting the pres- sure on Sarah, Sky promises ber 12 genuine sinners in return for a date in Havana. To save the mission, Sarah accepts. The plot thickens -Sky and Sarah fall in love over Bacardi and milk in Cuba. Meanwhile, back at the crap game, Lt. Brannigan of the N.Y.P.D. smells a rat when he sees a large group of gambling gentlemen gathered on Broad- way waiting for Nathan De- troit to collect his payoff from Sky. When he asks what they've got up their sleeves, Harry the Horse uses the excuse that they are planning a stag for Nathan Detroit who is soon to marry Adelaide. Surprise - Adelaide over- hears the alibi and Nate's fate is sealed. After fourteen years of being engaged, he's on the hook. The second act resolves the romantic dilemmas and everyone, we presume, lives happily ever after. At least the pair of guys marry their respective dolls . The cast, including dancers and chorusters, were well prepared for their perfor- mances last week. Obviously, a tremendous amount of effort went into the production and everyone who took part (eith- er behind the scenes or in front of the curtain) deserves credit for a job well done. The pace never slowed for a moment. A few of the performers deserve special mention. Janet Luxton, who played the role of the zany, ever-faithful Miss Adelaide, was a stand- out. The character called for a brassy interpretation of a difficult part, and Miss Luxton came through with flying colors and a convincing Bronx accent. At Friday's perfor- mance she received a stand- ing ovation for er excellent effort. Joe Dalrymple's portrayal of Sky Masterson captured a few more hearts than Miss Sarah Brown s. Nathan Detroit, the erst- while bachelor who succumb- ed in the end to Miss Adelaide, was humorously played by John Sheridan. The role of Salvatian Army officer (and Bacardi convert) Sarah Brown was shared by Rosemary Kennedy and Cath- erine Gracie. Miss Gracie handled the part in fine fashion at Friday night's performance. Her lovely, clear soprano voice was especially suited to the singing parts., In the minor role depart- ment, E. P.
