Many Talents Combine To Produce This Week's Drama Workshop Show Ganaraska Authority Presents 20- Year Plan When you attend one of the three performances of "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little" this week, read the program carefully. Note how many different talents have combined to produce this show. When you hand in your ticket and take your seat, you'll realize that two groups of people - the box office personnel and the house managers, are part of the behind-the-scenes production team. Then the house lights will dim and brighten; this will be a part of the task performed by the lighting crew. When the lights brighten, brighten, scan the expertly formed set - the work of more club members. You'll notice that the set is not bare because club members have been at work erecting large props and decorating the set. As the music fades, (this is the task of another member), the play begins. The actors and actresses must look the part they are to portray: costumes, make-up, and hair styles have been attended to by more workers. Small items are carried on and off stage right on cue, but someone is responsible for ensuring ensuring that each item is ready at the correct time and place. To co-ordinate all stage movements movements throughout the production, production, someone must be stationed stationed behind the stage. To cue actors if necessary we have another club member. As you watch the cast, remember that each has worked long and hard with the director and her assistant; show them by your applause that you appreciate their efforts. Hours of rehearsals have been planned by the director and hours in practice have been given by the cast. All costs must be tabulated and controlled and so every organization needs a business manager. Moreover, every club needs someone to coordinate coordinate the rest of us, and, for that, we have a producer. Finally, after all this work, don't we need someone to organize a social gathering? Check your program: you'll see which of the above tasks each has tackled for this play. Enjoy the results of our efforts; we'll enjoy seeing you on Nov. 24, 25, or 26.

General Motors of Canada president Donald E. Hack- worth and United Auto Workers Workers Canadian director Robert White announced today that GM and its employees will cooperate in a food collection program to assist the needy in communities throughout Canada where GM has operations. operations. In announcing a special "Christmas Care and Share" program for the coming holiday holiday season, Mr. Hackworth and Mr. White noted that although although Canada's economy has entered a recovery, with GM's 1984 cars enjoying strong customer acceptance and most GM employees back to work, "the difficulties for our industry, for our country and for the many people who are still unemployed are not over yet." The Christmas "Care and Share" program will run from November 21 through December December 16 and will be patterned after the highly-effective food collection program last winter. All employees will be encouraged to donate a can of non-perishable food one day each week at their work place. For each can collected, GM will donate 50 cents. Any cash contributions received from employees or retirees will be matched dollar-for-dollar by GM. The food will be channelled through local charitable agencies for distribution to the needy. Cash contributions generated by the "Christmas Care and Share" campaign will be forwarded to the same local agencies to purchase supplemental food supplies. In a letter to all GM employees, Mr. Hackworth and Mr. White said "the need for food among the unemployed unemployed will be particularly pres- WE RE MORE THAN A <*!, NICE PLACE TO EAT Every Thursday is Family Steak Night Our special for two . ., 8-OZ.

GM workers, in cooperation with the UAW and its local unions, helped to meet last winter's needs with their generous donations of food and cash to the "Care and Share" program. For a period of four weeks this year - just prior to the Christmas holiday period - we're asking to do it again." Mr. Hackworth also announced announced that to stimulate donations, a 1984 Chevrolet Celebrity would be the draw prize to be drawn December 23 from entry forms submitted by employees and retirees each time a donation of food or cash is made. "Last year's 'Care and Share' program produced some 44,000 cans of food and more than $250,000 for extra food purchases. We believe GM employees taking part in the new program will show once again that they are the best people in the world - demonstrating how much they care about their neighbors and are ready to share with those less fortunate than themselves." themselves."
