Clarkeln Enlarged Regional Plan Pickering on the west and Clarke to the west. Mr. Tom Monohan, Clerk of the Township of Clarke attended Clarke Township and the Vil- lage of Newcastle has been in- cluded fn an enlarged Regional Government study which includes Orono VOLUME 32, NUMBER 6 "The Boy Friend" the first meeting on the enlarged area, last week. The study now under consider- ation was prepared for the Osh- eyTimes ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13th, 1969 Valentine Card Great Entertainment Party Friday "The Boy Frield" was a real joy for those who were in at- tendance at Bowmanville last week. This major musical pro. duction directed by Roy Higgins was entertainment par-excellence. Following the opening hight word of its sucess travelled swift- ly through the community and the cast played to four overflow- ing houses. The music, directed by Ross Metcalfe, was crisp and delight- ful, reaching a peak with a trio of Gwen Duchesne, Gwen Black and Peggy O'Neail. The whole production was swift in move- ment and as far as we were con- cerned there were no weak points The Boy Friend was a tribute to the cast, director and backstage personell. The lead roles of Polly Browne and Tony were extremely well portrayed by Gwen Duchesne and Jack Allin. Their performance was so well executed that they appeared to have been brought out of one of the early talking movies. This particular effect was most evident when the two sang "I Could be Happy with you." Peggy ONeail, playing the part. of Madame Dubonnet, the "head imistress" of the school at- tended by Polly, also did a good job in presenting a picture of a Frenche lady. Her portrayol ap- peared to be a pun in the play. This was best seen in her efforts to get Percival Browne, Polly's father, to look back in the old days when both of them were young and very much in love. The pun on the word "mistress" seemed more evident by the ac- tion of the many girls who were attending her school. They were all out to get a boy friend as the title of the play suggested. Percival Browne was portrayed by Douglas Stickles who did an extremely fine job in depicting a reserved English gentleman. Near the end of the play he did, however, let down his stuffiness and joined in with Madame Du- bonnet in making the play gay and humorous. Hortense, the maid, also did a fine. job of acting. She served as the middle agent between Tony and Polly, Her part was taken by Gwen Black. Ken Hockin, as Lord Brock- hurst, Tony's father, was a frisky gentleman as the program de- scribed him.H e was constantly trying to get away from his wife, played by Doreen Kitney, who was a little more than just (Continued on page 6) Wed In Orono Bouquets of white 'mums and long spikes of white gladioli formed an attractive setting in Orono United Church for the marriage on Saturday afternoon, November 30, 1968, at 2 o'clock of Miss Lynda Mae Alice Barra- ball and Mr. Peter Robert Mc- Cullough.

OPP Report The Newcastle Detachment in- vestigated 56 accidents during the month of January 1969. This is approximately 10 per cent less than for January 1968. In this day and age with over 2,000,000 vehicles in Ontario, a 10 per cent reduction in accidents is neglig- ible. One day of freezing rain and fog could easily put the per- bentage up rather than down. Only extreme CARE, CAUTION and COURTESY, combined with strict observance of the rules of the road can help us to reduce accidents. Twelve persons suffer- ed injuries in these accidents, and fortunately no one has been killed thus far in 1969. Only YOU, the driver, can keep this area Fatality Free. Do your part to stay alive. CRIME: Many crimes that occur today, such as thefts, forcible entries, etc., could be greatly reduced with the co-operation of the pub- lic. If you see a stranger, or a strange car whose occupants are acting suspiciously, call your local police station. In the past, many crimes have been prevented be- cause of public co-operation. Help Us to Help You. I Wonder The following article was sent in by our Kendal correspondent and was taken from a Los Angel- es paper. It was written by, David Alfred and entitled "I Wonder" I often wonder why we have so much intellectual discussion a- bout things that should be be- yond discussion, beyond the scope of intellectual logic. The topic eof interdependence of all people is one of these. When I was quite young, I was pretty much alone because my body was not equal to the stress- es of rough-and-tumble associa- tion with other youngsters. Not far from where we lived, there was a sort of playground. In winter, I spent considerable time there because it was a skat- ing rink. Skating, my favorite pastime did not call upon me to compete with stronger and more active kids. In summer, the rink became a ball field. Its saucer-like contour caused the playing field to lie below the level of its outer rim. This made it nice for the specta- tors, if any, but it also made for a considerable depth of water be- neath the ice when it was a skat- ing rink. Two incidents took place here, two incidents which produced a lasting effect upon my philos- ophy of life. One day, I was tak- (Continued on Page 2) Two Pro minent awa Area Planning and Develop- ment group. It has been submit- ted by the Kates, Peat, Marwick Co. In the study it has been noted that the area has been enlarged to include Clarke and Newcastle following direction from the Min- ister and from studies already made.

At present the depratment has three trucks, manned by 20 vol- unteer firefighters under the chief, F. Seveir. OPP CRUISER KILLS DEER Last week a Newcastle detach- ment, Ontario Provincial Police, hit and killed a deer on Highway 35 about 20 miles north of New- castle. This was the second deer kili. ed in the past five days by cars on highwayý. Friday evening a deer was killed on the Macdonald Cartier Freeway near the Rouge bridge. Another was hit shortly before. No damage was done to the OPP cruiser and the deer was removed by department of lands and forests workmen. Speaks To Orono Chamber On 'Outward Bound' Group Mr. Wm. Hughes of Orono was the guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Orono Chamber of Commerce on Mon- day evening. Mr. Hughes is on the staff of the Pine Ridge School for Boys. He has been a resident of Canada, coming from England with his family, some'eighteen months ago. Mr. Hughes spoke to the Cham- ber members on the Outward Bound organization. The speaker has been associated with theQr- ganization since his training days at the age of thirteen. Since that time Mr. Hughes has been an instructor at some of the schools and specializes in rock climbing and caving as well as kayaking. Mr. Hughes stated that Out- ward Bound was the training of youth in a concentrated course. He stressed self-reliance, self- endurance and self-confidence as part of the aims of the training. The training, he said, presents one challenge after another for the boys but within the range of their individual ability. Where competitions are used boys com- pete against their own ability and achievements rather than against one another. The training is varied and de- termined somewhat according to the environmental setting of the school. Outward Bound was started in England during the war with the first school coming into existance in 1941. Mr. Hughes said that the formation of the organization re- sulted from the fact that many of the young merchant seamen were not surviving sea tragedies. The school was set-up to give train- ing in survival and to gain a de- grec of physical fitness for the young merchant seamen. It had fantastie results, he stated. There are now 10 schools in the-world. The organization is a non-profit organization. Two films were shown ia which many of the activities were out- lined including sailing, seaman- ship, rock climbing, rescue, three day solo survival expeditions when the boys were given only eight matches and had to find their own shelter and food in barren land. In his talk the speaker also stated that the boys were taught to live and work as a unit. "Out- ward Bound is an experience," he said. Mr. Hughes stated that he hoped to open a school in Can- ada and said that the area around Algonquin Park was most suited for such a project. Speakers Cominq It has been announced that the next meeting of the Clarke Town- ship Citizens and Ratepayers' Inc. will be favoured with the at- tendance of two outstanding speakers. The theme of the night will be Estate taxes, when a pan- el discussion will be conducted with Mr. Gene Butt, Co-chairman of the Association, moderator. Mr. Edwin Kasdan, Solicitor Official Guardians Branch of the Attorney General's Office, Prv- ince of Ontario will join with Mr. Frank Cliff, LLB, Special Repre- sentative of the Canada Perman- ent Trust and specialist in Prov- incial and Federal Taxation, to form a panel. Mr. Cliff will carry the roll of the citizen while Mr. Kasdan Will carry the roll of the law. A question period will also be opened for those in attend- ance to seek answers to their questions in the field of taxation. To Beautify Orono Business Section The Orono Chamber of Com- merce, on Monday evening,, ap- proved a suggestion from the directors that the Orono Chamber of Commerce support a flower box project for the business sec- tion. It is the intention ol the Cham- ber to construet suitable flower boxes for the main street and to have the boxes planted with flowers. Prior to the undertaking the Chamber is to canvas the businessmen in the section to see if they would support the project by paying the cost of the boxes and flowers. It is felt that a plant- er 18 ipches wide and four feet long filled with flowers should not cost more than five dollars. With the Chamber making the boxes it was felt they would all be uniform and when filled with flowers would brighten the ap- pearance on the main street.
