Total Fitness Vs. Good Health Total fitness means the real- ization of a person's highest degree of well-being with- in the limits of his potential, not just strength, big muscles, bones. activity. In other words. it’s an active, dynamic moving thing, whereas health is often re- garded as a passive, static thing, but Good Health is an active, dynamic, positive thing. Therfore the terms are synonymous. Let‘s enjoy both states. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK CARL E.

When Alderman Joseph Helliwell, Councillor Albert Parker, and Herbert Soppit interrupted their silver wed- ding celebration to call their church organist Gerald Forbes to account for being seen ouMlate with a girl, they precip- itated a most distressing situation for themselves. Mild mannered young Forbes drew from his pocket a letter, lately received from a clergyman whom he had met while on holiday in Wales, and, which spoke of his concern about having married several couples in Clecklewyke before he was qualified to do so, 25 years ago. Horrified by the realiz- ation that they, and their “wives” were three of the coup- les referred to, Alderman Helliwell and his friends go off to discuss their predicament in private. However Mrs. Nor- thrup, who had come to assist with the dinner, had been listening at the door, and had broken a plate in her ex- citement. While the women wait the return of their men for a game of cards, Mrs. Northrup appears to say good- b e, and being told that she will have to pay for the broken pate, divulges everything, and goes off in a hufl“ to the village to spread the news. The plot thickens‘with the dramatic arrival of Lottie Grady, a Blackpool acquaintance of the worthy alderman, and a number of serio-com‘" sit- uations develop. However, after poking a bit of fun at the foibles of the best'of us. author J. B‘ Priestly wisely allowed good solid affection, and twenty five years of “give and take" to triumph in the end, and when the curtain fell on “When 'We Are Married". it was on a happy group singing around the piano. The play was presented on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day evenings of last week by the Footlights Club of Thornhill, in Holy Trinity Church Hall and was most enthusiastically receiv- ed. A bunch of tulips, presented to Mr. Pat Trant by little Marilyn Hunter, on behalf of four admir- ers, on opening night brought down the house. Actually all the plamrs deserve verbal bouquets for excellent performances. and for their convincing Yorkshire ac- cents. In his role as the garru- lous, bibulous, flashily dressed Henry Ormonroyd, the press pho- tographer, Pat Trant proved him- self a master of comedy, and a valuable new addition to the Footlights Club. His best friends would have found it difficult to recognize Bob Priestman as the portly, dark haired. and moust- ached Alderman Helliwell, Bert Funnell, as unctions Councillor Albert Parker, and Frank Jen- nings, the henâ€"peeked husband, Herbert Soppitt. whose remarks are laconic but pointed. Edith Jones as the hostess, Maria Helliwell. gave one of her usual finished performances. Jane McLaren was excellent as the beautiful but demanding Clara Soppitt, and Joan Iddon, as the forbearing Annie Parker, who truth to tell. had found her hus- band’s virtues rather boring. Ruth Collins who can always be count- ed upon. whether for a charac- ter sketch, or humorous role, took the part of Mrs. Northrup. Eliz- abeth Jennings was good as the Stl‘ikil‘j, and coquettish interlop- er. Tall Eric Gleave was the re- porter on hand to write up the triple celebration. Marion Mc- Cowan was the pretty maid, with just the right amount of pert in- quisitiveness, and Roger Priest- man had a too small role as the Rev. Clement Mercer. The young love interest was supplied by Ed Gillan as Gerald Forbes, the or- ganist, and Pamela Boulden as .Nancy Holmes, the Helllwells’ yorédéire Comea anléudiadfica Second Row: Vivien Mott, Elaine Ackehurs’t.

Chairman Allan Sumner says that the trustees are not unhappy about the arrangement, and they get on reasonably well with Vaughan and Markham Townships.
