However, she admits that when her telephone finally stops ringing and the curtain curtain drops on the last performance performance the sentiment contained in her spontaneous spontaneous claim will be forgotten. And when talk of the next Workshop play begins to spread, Pat, a seasoned member of the drama group, will be among the first at the starting line. It has happened like this for years, she explained. When planning and rehearsing rehearsing of a play is at its peak Pat usually insists the intense involvement will be her last. But the Workshop and local drama presentations presentations are indeed in her blood. It's an addiction she makes no effort to deny and certainly nobody takes her withdrawal , announcements announcements seriously - not even Pat. So, for the past several weeks both her heart and ambition have been thrust into the Workshop's November 24,25 and 26th presentation of "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little." As producer she is the main helmsman taking general general responsibility for all aspects of the play which features a cast of seven. It is incumbent upon her to see that everything from ticket sales to stage props are appropriately organized. organized. Admittedly, it's a big job, however, the producer is armed with unlimited enthusiasm enthusiasm and 10 years of experience. experience. Pat said it all started about a decade ago when, following a round of badminton, she inadvertently inadvertently wandered into a Workshop rehearsal. And zappo. She was hooked and involved before she knew what had happened. In various productions since she joined the group, Pat has done everything from sweeping the stage to acting. And making her producer producer job easier is a host of Workshop members equally dedicated to the cause - many of them possessing possessing years of seasoning and numerous productions to their credit. And when Pat talks of the most recent play, her con- J s I ^ , vi . versation runs the gamut of emotions from tears to laughter. "And Miss Reardon Reardon Drinks A Little" is different different than anything we've ever done since I've been involved in the Workshop," Workshop," she stated. She claims that the heart of the play is built upon a serious emotional issue yet the overall script content is generously sprinkled with some very comical lines. "It's a play that has a lot of meat to it yet contains some extremely funny dialogue," stated the producer. producer. "The play has represented represented quite a challenge for the actors and has given them a chance to stretch in terms of performer expression," expression," she stated. "Even ' during rehearsals I've found tlie play touching," admitted Pat. "One minute you're breaking up laughing laughing and the next minute you need a Kleenex."

More than 100 descendants of George and Jane Hall, who were the earliest earliest settlers in Cartwright Township in Durham County in Ontario, attended the celebration. celebration. They had been getting to-. gether all over the city, but at 6 p.m. on October 28th, the groups congregated at the Keningston Road N.W., No. 264 Royal Canadian Legion Hall to enjoy a sumptuous supper and a time of getting acquainted. Miss Mae Duke said "Grace." Dr. Beatrice Wic-. kett of Ottawa, a niece of Mr. Hall, recalled his life as a young man in the Air Force, Mr. Ray Sellers led the group in the singing of Happy Birthday, Birthday, followed by Mrs. Frances Lethbridge, who read a letter from Mrs. Helen McCabe about Mr. Hall's younger days. This party had been about five years and hundreds of letters in the arranging. Bob Whitaker, of Richmond, Indiana, was one of the prime movers, and with llie cooperation cooperation of Frank Hall, Margaret Jorgensen of White- wood, Sask., and Frances Lethbridge of Calgary, as well as many others, numerous branches of the family were contacted. As they entered and were name-tagged by Leigh-Ann, Lindsay and Wendy Hall, they began to mingle, and to ask, "Which branch of the family do you come from?" The answers came, "King, Herron, Hawkins, Duke, Bell, Stewart and Hall." On the morning of Saturday the 29th, the get "acquainted" session continued over coffee. That evening, Frances and Bev Lethbridge held a dinner party at their home. Later that evening, Rob and Marguerite Addle of Calgary held a similar dinner party to welcome the families. Relatives and family members members came from Vancouver, Victoria, Campbell River, Ladysmith, Langley, and Thetis Island, B.C.; Three Hills, Calgary, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Calmar, Elnora and Ponoka, Alberta; Shaunavon, Langbank, Rocanville, Whitewood and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Cavan and Ottawa, Ontario; and Richmond, Indiana, U.S.A. Members of Mr. Frank Hall's family, descendants of Susanna Earle, from Peterborough, Peterborough, Ontario were also in attendance. Cartwright Pioneers George Hall, the first settler in the Township of Cartwright, County of Durham, was born in May 1798 in the County Armagh, Ireland, He came to Canada in 1831 and spent two years near Cobourg, Ontario. In the summer of 1833, on hearing that the Township of Cartwright had been surveyed and was open for settlement, he and two friends started on a location trip. He chose the East half of Lot 23 Concession 5. The others did not locate at that time. After making a payment of 12-10-0 on the land he went back to Cobourg. Returning to his farm in the fall of 1833, he underbrushed about two acres, and built a shanty. A strong attraction took him back to Cobourg for the winter. Hall and Jane Hamel were married and started on their honeymoon to their log shanty home. The early years were busy ones, clearing the land, building building fences and farm buildings and a log house to replace the shanty. His first crop was potatoes and he carried the seed on his back from Cavan. George Hall was the first Orangeman in the township and the first Worshipful Master of L.O.O. No. 408. For years the meetings were held in his home. He served on the Township Council in the early days and his name appears on the earliest records of that body. George and Jane Hall lived the remainder of their lives on the farm that they had cleared from the . virgin forest. Honored and loved by all who knew him, he was affec tionately called "Daddy" throughout the whole community. community. George and Jane Hall had four sons and five daughters: Liza Ann Herron, Matilda Jane Hawkins, Margaret Hall, Eleanor King, David Hall, Francis Hall, Janes Hall, (Father of Frank Hall), William William Henry Hall and Lettitia Fuller. George Hall died June 19, 1892, aged 94 years. Jane Hall died June 29, 1892, aged 87 years. Their remains lie in the Cartwright Union Cemetery. call I 4 ' "And Mrs. Reardon Drinks A Little," the play's producer producer will experience the same exhilaration she felt during operetta presentations presentations as a student at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. A native Bowmanvillite, the producer's roots are firmly planted in the community. community. Her interests in the stage first surfaced at BHS when she was a teenager. She recalls her participation participation in the productions of H.M.S. Pinafore and the Pirates Pirates of Penzance. Following school graduation, graduation, Pat, an extraordinary extrovert, never strayed far from her home community. She took a series of office jobs including stints with General Motors and General General Motors Acceptance Corporation. Several years later, after marriage and two children who are now teenagers, Pat earned her real estate license and went to work for her brother, the owner of the Ken Hockin Real Estate firm. And throughout her life in Bowmanville, there has been the common denominator denominator of community involvement involvement whether it be the Drama Workshop, a March of Dimes campaign, the Santa Claus Parade Committee, Committee, area recreation clubs or local elections. "A lot of people I've met through real estate envy me because I seem to know everyone," she revealed. Pal maintains she has stayed in Bowmanville because because she loves the town and the small town atmosphere. atmosphere. At present, however, Pat's time in the community is scarcely her own. Producing Producing a play, she disclosed, lakes up every minute of her time. For the next several several days, at least, she will eat, sleep and breath nothing nothing but "And Miss Reardon Reardon Drinks a Little." Moreover, this time next year, she is likely to be com- sumed by a similar undertaking. undertaking. It will be a new play, of course, and she may be functioning in a different role but it's almost a sure fire wager that Pal will indeed indeed be there. 77 King Street East, Bowmanville coo /hch Values Effective at 623-4161 lA/p deliver for r Bowmanville Store Only nominal charge. fm ) Competitive Prices HEINZ* FANCY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP, PEANUT BUTTER CHIP, TRIO PAK OR DIGESTIVE ASSORTED VARIETIES HOSTESS ASSORTED VARIETIES FRONTENAC (MFG. 10 e OFF LABEL) DEMPSTER'S 100% Whole 48-FL OZ.
