David McLean Ltd. Sadler's Wells Representative Addresses U. W. C. At King Craft The speaker described in some detail the school’s rigorous pro- gramme of training and outlined its‘syllabus. The emphasis on neatness and precision, the long hours of hard work, and pains- taking attention to detail, all contributed towards achieving the flawless performances for which the Sadlers Wells dancers are famous all over the world. Miss Clar'ke drew some vivid word pictures of the school. the theatre, and the excited and tense atmosphere surrounding an opening night performance such as that which celebrated the re- turn to the .stage of the com- pany’s prima ballerina, Margot Miss Clarke successfully audi- tioned for the Sadler’s Wells School in 1951 and later danced with the company in more than 300 performances at Covent Gar- dens. She now has her own ballet school in Toronto and is the only trained representative of Sad- ler’s Wells in Canada. MORE Salesmen Needed Another area of the college contains the rescue branch. It is called the rescue set, and is real- ly a fabulous place, containing what appear to be broken down houses with great heaps of de- ‘bris, but in reality are carefully reproduced types of collapsed buildings. The rescue trainees learn to recognize each different kind of collapse and how to ut- ilize this knowledge to rescue trapped people. One “set” ap- pears to be nothing but a huge pile of rubble with only one wall left standing, but the solid wall has loading bays at the back, where a man can crawl in under the rubble, and the trainees are taught how to locate and extri- cate him, although they do not know what part of the building he is under. Also in the training area. is a large hall where in- door ladder work. rescue from heightsr block and tackle train- ing and so forth are taught. It has miniature sets showing vari- ous kinds of rescue techniques, such as getting a person on a stretcher down from a third storey window without unduly aggravating his injuries. And of course, there are all knds of res- cue equipment from trucks to oxygen tanks. _ Fonteyn, following a long and serious illness, and the perform- ance of "Orpheus" in honour of the great contralto, Kathleen Ferrier, who died shortly after- wards. Miss Clarke brought to life for her audience such fam- ous personalities assoeiated with the Sadlers Wells School as Ar- nold Haskell, its artistic director as well as critic and author of several books on ballet. and Win- nifred Edwards. teacher at the school and a protege of Anna Pavlova. by Miss V. E. Myers, R. R. 1 Millikan It is a long time since I went to school. and I was never one who considered that those were the best years of my life. Ne’er the less, on January 19, Iset out for Arnprior to spend a week at- tending the Federal Civil De- fence College. in order that I might be of more use to our Markham township Civil Defence As I looked over the college litâ€" erature which 1 iound in my room I was very impressed with the facilities available for train- ing, and also for recreation. Af- ter I had been there a few days, I was even more impressed with what I saw. There are about 30 buildings on 10 acres, with living quar- ters to accommodate 73 men and 28 women. The training wing is a large converted hangar, which contains a good sized demon- stration theatre, Worthington Hall, with a big stage. The seat: ing here is in a horseshoe ar- arngement with the seats on raised‘tiers, and the centre of the floor is a large scale map for teaching. In addition to Worth. ington Hall. there are three large lecture rooms and various small- er ones, in addition to ofiices for the staff. There is a large main dining room, where we got very good meals and evcellent service, a big comfortable lounge, and a bar complete with dart board. At this time of year, recreation is necessarily restricted to movies (twice a week in the recreation hall), cards. etc., but in the sum- mer there is a baseball diamond and a golf course in action. Arnprior is about forty miles north west of Ottawa, and 1 ar- rived at the college on Sunday evening. 'to find I had a large cpmfortable bedroom to myself. As I looked over the college litâ€" erature which 1 {ound in my room I was very impressed with The‘ particular course I was attending â€"â€" staff (orientation) is designed to give an overall pic- ture of civil defence f0» both war and natural disaster. It covers everything from organi- zation and public speaking to radiac instruments (for detecting and measuring radioactivity) and the air defence of Canada. But there are plenty of specialized courses, such as (to _n_1ention but NEWMARKET : “Pop” Martin, "The Rebel from East Thimble~ berry", died on February 24, 1958. at the age of 84. Born in Scotland.

Believe me, it is quite a shock to come upon one of your classmates looking as though he had just been run over by a bus! a Royal Charter by the Queen and is now officially known as The Royal Ballet, is constantly conducting research and experi- menting with new techniques which, in turn. are passed on to its pupils at the school. During the business portion of the meeting, members voted in favour of establishing a $50 scholarship to be added annually to the FeIIOWShip Fund of.the Canadian Federation of Univer- sity Women. Instruction is given by lec- tures, demonstrations, playlets (acted by the stafl‘), and by dis- cussion in small groups under the chairmanship of an instruc- tor. There were 50 people on my course, including five women _ one from British Columbia, one from Saskatchewan and three from Ontario, including Mrs, Kathleen James and myself from Markham Township Civil De- fence. The men, too. came from all parts of the country; from Halifax. NS. to Kitimat. B.C. There were people from all walks Miss Clarke pointed out that this old, established ballet com- pany, which was repently gganted guflnedd JdnJ order that I use to our Civil Defence The course ran from Monday to Friday, and on Thursday ev- ening each syndicate_ (without its instructors) met and drew up its recommendations on 1) general civil defence policy, 2) the course we were taking, the way it was presented, its contents and organization and 3) the coll- ege administration. These rec- ommendations were mimeograph- ed and distributed to us all next day and our final work period was devoted to discussing them in Worthington Hall. This is one of the reasons that the Civil De- fence College is such a wonderful place â€"- each course dissects it- self and any sound improvements suggested are implemented by the administrative staff, and helpful thoughts regarding pol- icy are forwarded to the appropâ€" riate authorities. In other words, after the stafl‘ has done its best for you, they pick your brains to do their best for the college. The highlight of the assembly was the public Bible discourse entitled. “Facing the Future without Fear”. The speaker. Mr. George Saltmarsh. is the disrict supervisor for the witnesses. In summing up present world con- ditions, Mr. Saltmarsh said. “People the world over are liv- ing in a period of intense an~ xiety and fear of the future. The free fear enslavement. The en- slaved fear annihilation. The fears the East. Carefully placed tears th eEast. Carefully placed posters point an ominous finger at you to remind you that one out of every five will die of can- cer, and one out of ten persons is sufi'ering from mental ail- ments.” Our day started with break- fast at 7:30. From the dining- room we walked to the training area (about a quarter of a mile) for classes, which began at 8.30 and lasted until one, with a 15 minute coffee break during the morning. About an hour for lunch, then back to the training area until five, with a tea break during the afternoon. There were instruction films two evenings at which attendance was optional. And this is all free! The course does not cost the trainee a single penny. If the Co-ordin- ator (the senior person in each CD body considers a person should go on a course, he sub- mits the name to his region headquarters who carry the mat- ter through to the Federal level, and providing there is a vacancy .1,,L :- on that particular course, the person is accepted). His expen- ses from his home to the college, his stay at the college, and his return home are all paid by the Federal authorities. All you have to do is to give your time, and believe me it is worth it. I believe in civil defence not because I think there is going to be another war but for the same reason I believe in the use of vaccines â€"- it is a simple life- saving precaution. Your‘ best chance of personal survival is to know how to deal with an emer- gency, whether it be a fire in your home or an all-out war. A life might have been saved in this area during Hurricane Hazel, if there had been an organiza- tion such as CD, whch â€" am- ong other things â€" could have been called out to give addition- al manpower to guard unsafe bridges, etc. 7 A It was with this thought in mind that I went to the college. I hoped it would not be a fanat- ical place. Like a lot of other people. I had 'read the papers and civil defence seemed a pret- ty complicated thin . without too much unification. obody seem- ed to be In charge at it. Now I know that the chain of command is straightforward. The local (in our case â€"â€" Markham Township) co-ordinator is responsible for the township. Next comes the county eo-ordinator, who is res- ponsible for the county. Then regional co~ordlnator (Ontario is divided into five regions), then provincial co-ordinator, and fin- ally Federal cmordinator. It is as simple as that. The college is a businesslike place, lacking in fanfare and fanaticism. They be- lieve in our ability to help our- selves through any type of dis- aster if only we will adopt the old motto of “Be Prepared." As I drove out through the col- lege gates on Friday evening, I knew that as well as having learned a lot, I Was leaving with three things â€"â€" a tremendous ad- miration for the college staff; that although I had not done so much brain work for years, and was completely exhausted. I had enjoyed every minute of it. And with a firm belief in the slogan. “If you never need what you learn. you have lost nothing. if you never learn what you need, you may lose everything. Everyone attended the lectures and demonstrations together. but we were divided into four "syndi- cates", each with its own in- structor, for the purpose of dis- cussion sessions, In these ses- sions, we went over work done in lecture, and also took up new .work. Keeping these groups small, gave everyone a chance to join in the discussions. Upwards of 90 persons repres- ented the Richmond Hill Congre- gation of Jehovah's witnesses at a successful ministers' ‘convention held at the UNIX Hall. 297 Coll- ege Street, last weekend. Mr. Robert Harrison. the local pre- siding minister. stated, “This whole-hearted support of the ses- sions of the convention by the Richmond Hill representatives, indicates a strong desire on their part to become better qualified to meet the peoples urgent need for comfort and instruction from the Bible. of life â€"- a Minister of Provin- cial Affairs, people from the reg- ular army, the militia. the civil service, the police â€"â€" in fact, name it and it was there. He further stated, “Fear or- iginated with mankind‘s parents, Adam and Eve. The Bible tells us that when Adam disobeyed 0 R. Hill Witnesses Attend linisters' Convention, Toronto ead are In the remainder of his Iec~ ture, Mr. Saltmarsh stated that there is a right and a wrong type of fear. The right kind is filial fear of God. The wrong kind is slavish fear of man. The only way to enhance proper fear and become free of fear of man is to study and practice the truth of God’s Word. Jesus said: “And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free'.’ Then he quoted the Bible at Micah, Chap- ter 4, where the Creator states His purpose of abolishing fear throughout the earth by means of His Kingdom by Christ. in the near future. God’s law and was called into question for his wrongdoing he said to God. ‘I heard your voice in the garden but I was afraid’. So fear is closely related with one’s conscienge and relationship RICHMOND HILL BRANCH to God. Obedience to his law brings security. peace and free- dom; disobedience results in in~ security, fear and trepidation. In keeping with our growth world-wide. several new minis- ters were baptized in a colorful ceremony on Saturday afternoon. “Now”. said Mr. Harrison. “all of us are looking forward to the huge international convention of Jehovah's witnesses to he held in New York City this summer.
