In all fairness to Mr. Sollo- way, he volunteered for the part when Director Gerry Crack was unable to find the right Pickering. but it wasn’t his role.

"Trevor Alderwick as “Higgins“ with his blue-eyed suavity and ever- jingling pockets was a very cre- ditable performer, particularly in his “off-camera“ months but he didn‘t really warm up to his formidable part until about the third act (on opening night, at least). {-9 Viewed as strictly amn- teur theatre producion. the Richmond Hill Curtain Club‘s season - opening "Pygmalion" is an excellent example of the 10-year-old club’s theatrical prowess In sets. costuming and direc- tion.

Raggedy Ann pre- reformation state as the bed- raggled flower girl was a tri- umph but as a lady. her per- formance lacked lustre except for the haughty last scene when some of her earlier vigor came through. Most laudable perform- ance was that of Neville Cross as “Alfred Doolittle" Eliza’s father. who played the philosophical dustman right up to the hilt in a marvellously competent and sincere fashion hilarious in itself.

Mr. Godfrey said that by supplementing income in these situations the department had prevented families going en- tirely on full assistance and had prevented further suffer- ing on the part of the children involved. Assistance had been necessary in many cases last winter he reported, to families whose sup- ply of power and fuel had been cut off because they were in arrears on their accounts and to see the City of Winni- peg legal department in- creased to give more atten- tion to the situation. lllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllll “We must be realistic and take a firm stand on some of these. otherwise we shall be overwhelmed.“ he warned. ll“I‘ll“ll“lll“llllll‘lllllllllllllllllllll‘llllllllllllllll\llllllll\|llllll|lllll Ottawa City Council has been warned that an increaSe in the number of cases of desertion and non-support may be the chief factor in the rising num- ber of “unemployabies” receiv- ing public welfare in that city. Welfare Commissioner Stuart Godfrey reported that definite steps were being taken to re-j duce the numbers on assistance. He warned that "inevitably there will be complaints from‘ people who have came to re-‘ gard some of these forms ofl assistance as permanent forms of income." ' The committee hopes to make desertion less inter- esting by laying more char- ges under the Criminal Code instead of the provin- cial act. It would also like The federal Criminal Code provides a penalty for wife desertlon, but legal ac- tion against runaway hus- bands generally comes un- der provincial acts relating to wives and children’s maintenance. The commltee has agreed that more attempts should be made to bring husbands into court on desertion charges and that fines should be steeper. Deserting Husbands Present Welfare Problem That this problem is com- mon to all parts of Canada is evidenced in a recent de- cision of a civic committee in Winnipeg to seek means to strengthen law: to combat increases in the number of runaway hus- bands.

SOUTH OPENING SOON Many of our young people would go into life better edu- cated, better qualified, if par- ents knew of the availability of bursaries and other financial aids to students, some of which are never awarded because of lack of applications.

How many students are being put into unsuitable streams, or left in wrong channels when they'c‘ould easily have been re- directed, because parents did not realize the situation or know the remedies? How many times have we seen a promising stu- dent dulled to mediocrity, and then dropping out of school, disheartened when fuller un- derstanding on the part of his parents might have sustained him through the period of dis- couragement? What therefore is the effect of parental ignorance of the new methods, new courses, new emphasis new opportunities, new problems in high school today? Should the parents leave the direction the child takes in high school completely up to the school system? Education in the elementary schools has not changed too radically in the past generation. Jhereas developments in second-‘ ary education have been ex- plosive in the past decade or so. Many parents who have been out of high school for upwards of 15 years, have little or no conception of what goes on in- side a modern high school. Parents' Role Very Important In Secondary School Program Richmond Hill has for some time been in the particularly fortunate position, thr0ugh ex- cellent welfare administration, of having no employables on their basic income. earned or unearned. i Commission sponsored Junior Olympics track and field meet.
