She said our whole life is a learning experience. Children are always curious and willing to learn. Teenagers often become jaded about learning. As we become older we enjoy short courses ect. for more learning.- Newcomers to our country find learning customs etc. an enriching experience. The Creator provided us with a computer (our brain). Learning is stimulating and we are never too old to learn. Mrs. W. Smit, introduced our guest speaker, Mrs. P. Feddema, a member of Shaws - Providence W.I., who spoke on 'Graphoanalysis." Graphoanalysis reveals the personality of writer. It is the study of different strokes of our writing. The brain conveys the image of writing. Each of us are unique (one of a kind). As early as 1612 the personality traits of writing was studied. In 1929, a Mr. Bunker founded the 'Insitute of Graphoanalysis.' Mrs. Feddema took a correspondence course from this institute as well as the 8 Basic Steps given by Durham College in Graphoanalysis. Analysis of our writing does not predict the future but shows how the individual may act in a certain situation. It also gives a self evaluation showing our strong and weak points. It also improves personal relationships within our families and in the work place. Mrs. Feddema gave us a few examples using the letter T as to how it was written and how the T was crossed. Several questions were asked and capably answered. Mrs. W. Laird moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Feddema and presented her with a gift. Mrs. S. Found gave a Consumer Report on how 2nd hand smoke can affect the non-smoker. A short contest on Pies was conducted by Mrs. Found. Meeting closed with the repeating of 'the Collect' and the singing of O Canada. Lunch of apple and lemon pies, tea and coffee was served by Mrs. Smit and her group. -•v'v Drummer Buddy Rich Coming to Town Drummer Buddy Rich and his big band will be coming to town November 10 for an evening performance at Bowmanville High School Auditorium. The event is a fund-raising project sponsored by the Bowmanville Rotary Club and tickets will be available shortly. Seating will be limited to 650, so those interested in seeing the show are advised to book early. Entertainer Buddy Rich, who will be performing in Bowmanville November 10, has a 58-year background background in show business. At 18 months, he was standing on stage during his parents' vaudeville act. And as a four-year-old prodigy, he appeared in a Broadway show. Two years, later, he toured Australia Australia in a solo act as "Traps, the Boy Wonder.". And at age 11, the young man who never attended music school but played the drums as long as he can remember, toured the United States vaudeville circuit with his own showband. By 1938, Bernard (Buddy) Rich had begun his jazz career, playing in the bands of Bunny Berigan, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, and Benny Carter. In 1946, he formed his first jazz . band with help from his ex-roommate ex-roommate from the Tommy Dorsey band. The former roommate was Francis Albert Sinatra. As he continued his career, the list of musicians who played in his band or recorded with him v read like a Who's Who in Jazz. Just a few of the names from that list include Charlie "Bird" Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, A1 Haig, and many other all-time greats from the jazz world. Although Rich has led smaller groups, he prefers the big band sound. And in 1966, he formed such a band for the first time since 1951. Since then, he has continued to lead a big band, except for a brief intermission in 1974. Even after 58 years, the entertainer entertainer doesn't view what he does as work. "I go to play. I don't go to work. It's always fun," he says. In fact, Rich thrives on the year- round road trips and one-nighter circuit. "The only time it becomes difficult is when I'm not on the road. I've been doing it so long that when I don't do it, it's total boredom. The idea of playing every night, the physical thing, keeps me healthy," he says. Buddy Rich will jbe coming to Bowmanville November 10 for a concert to be held at the high school and sponsored by the Bowmanville Rotary Club. Charles Clarke, co-ordinator of the project, told Bowmanville Rota- rians last week that tickets will be available soon at $15 apiece.
