painful financially, producing an

Because we plan to attend a
convention et a swank spot next
week, that ancient and honorable
lament, "I haven't a thing to
wearl" reared its hoary head.
This gave birth to the inevitable
twins: a visit to the hank mana-
ger and a trip to the city.
The latter, in turn, demanded
that we take in a show. The
only show in town was a "Bril-

"The Establishment," direct
from rave reviews in New York.
It stank,
That may not be quite the cul-

revue, but it's an honest opin-
ion. The critics probably burb-
led that the thing was"refresh-
ingly frank" and "delightfully
irreverent," I thought it was
disgustingly frank and childish-
ly irreverent.
The show did have a couple
of amusing skits, including a
clever parody of the Queen
reading one of her speeches,
but the remainder was labored
and tasteless, about one jump
and a bushel of English accents
ahead of a college annual show.
However, the audience, to prove
its broad-mindedness, applaud-

Richard Hodgins
killed in accident
Mr. Richard Sutton Hodgins,
44, of Toronto and native of
Lucan, was killed in a car
accident on Highway 115, near
Bowmanville last Tuesday,
while returning from a vacation
at the summer cottage of a
fellow Pickering HS teacher.
Mr. Hodgins was alone at
the time and it is thought he
may have taken a heart attack
for his small car ran across
the road in front of another
car.
Mr. Hodgins was the son of
Mrs. Laura B. Hodgins of Tor-
onto and the late Richard H.
Hodgins, formerly of Lucan,
who died a few months after his
son's birth. He attended Lucan
Public and High Schools and
University of Western Ontario.
He was unmarried and made
his home with his mother in
Toronto and commuted to Pick-
ering where he was a member of
the HS staff. He also taught in
Geraldton, Burlington, Ridge-
town and Brantford before going
to Pickering.
The Rev. E. 0. Lancaster,
conducted funeral services at
the Murcly funeral home, Lucan,
on Friday, August 16. Interment
was in St. James Cemetery,
Clandeboye.
Pallbearers included Mes-
srs. Clarence Hardy, Bob Mur-
ray, Roy Hodgins, Don Raving-
ton, Bert Cafik and Jim Bris-
bim.
Besides his mother he is sur-
vived by four sisters, Mrs.
Phyllis McConnell, of Tucson,
Arizona, Misses Amy and Edith
of Toronto and Ruth (Mrs. Al-
bert Papp) of California.
A large number of his Picker-
ing friends, including a car load
of his pupils attended the fu-
neral. The 49 beautiful floral
donations were an evidence of
the high esteem his many
friends held for him.
