The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-03-02, Page 10ht. By the Keeper of the Pen The Giraffes stuck their necks out last meeting night but feel it was really worth it, For awhile it looked as if the wind was going to howl louder than the Giraffes and prevent these tender young animals from turn- ing out to the Pen on Edward Street, This can be very em- barrassing -- especially when you have invited a guest speak- er for the occasion. How is it the guests can always get through in spite of the weather conditions? But all was not lost! A good- ly number was on hand to greet Mr. Cy Needham of the Luck- now District High School teach- ing staff and a resident of Wingham. After telling of his travels and experiences at uni- versities in England, Mr. Need- ham conducted a question and answer period. The film strip, "Faith in a Scientific Age" was shoWn and -4 this film became the topic of discussion. Mr. Needham stat- ed that God and science go hand in hand and in this day and age it would be foolish to think that man has the power or ability to do the wonderful things he does without the help of Almighty God. There must be many more teens and young adults looking for a place of interest on Friday nights. Come on down to the Pen. This week's guest -- Rev. Gordon Fish; the topic, "Going Steady". Listen to the words of an expert. L.O.L. EUCHRE GORRIE—Mrs. Burns Stewart, Gorrie and Mrs. Wm. Taylor, Wroxeter tied for the prize for ladies' highest score at the Gor- rie L. 0.

Last week nominations were announced in Hollywood for last year's top acting awards, which will be presented in a splendiferous ceremony in Santa Monica Civ- ic Auditorium on April 10th. Bob Hope will again be mas- ter of ceremonies, and a num- ber of Hollywood stars will pre- sent awards. But that's about all you will see of Hollywood! Although the picture taking the most honors in the nominations is a Hollywood production, the largest percentage of nomina- tions go to foreign stars and pictures. This is becoming a trend lately. Two years ago the top awards went to two English stars, Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison; last year English actress Julie Christie took anottr er home to Britain. Largest amount of nomina- tions go this year to "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", the great Warner Bros. masterpiece. It was nominated as best pic- ture, with nominations also go- ing to its director Mike Nichols (formerly of the comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May) and its playwright. And not surprisingly, its four stars also won nominations -- Eliza- beth Taylor and Richard Burton for best actress and actor, and George Segal and Sandy Den- nis in supporting roles. With the way these four came through on tremendously de- manding roles, it could be a clean sweep for all four - but that is rather unlikely. Nominated for best picture, with VW, were "A Man for All Seasons", "The Sand Pebbles", "Alfie", and "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Com- ing". If they are judging it on the amount of enjoyment re- ceived from it, Woolf surely will not win! Best actress nominations went to two English gals, Van- essa and Lynn Redgrave, sisters and daughters of Sir Michael Redgrave, another -filirEfiglish . actor. Vanessa won her recog- nition in "Morgan", Lynn in "Georgy Girl". Two other for- eigners completed the list, Anouk Aimee in " A Man and A Woman" and Ida Kaminska in "The Shop on Main Street", Sharing honors with Dickie Baby for best actor, were Alan Arkin for "The Russians Are Coming", Steve McQueen for "The Sand Pebbles", and two Englishmen, Michael Caine in "Alfie" and Paul Scofield in "Man for All Seasons", Miss Taylor should win -- not only because of her brilliant performance in a role that must have aged her ten years, but also because she symbolizes Hollywood, and this is still Hol- lywood's show! The actor's award will no doubt go out of the country, probably to Caine or Scofield. Supporting nominations went to Make far "The Sand Pebbles"; James Mason for "Georgy Girl"; Walter Matthau, "The Fortune Cookie"; Robert Shaw, "A Man for All Seasons"; Wendy Hiller, of the same picture; Jocelyne Lagarde for "Hawaii" (which re- ceived surprisingly few nomina- tions); Vivien Merchant for "Al- fie" ; Geraldine Page, "You're a Big Boy Now"; and of course, the two 'Woolf' starrers, Segal and Dennis. No belittling of these peo- ple's talents intended, but I would rather see Hollywood bet- ter represented, Hollywood made Oscar night what it is. The first movie capital of the world, Hollywood gave the ITIQ- vie industry its glamour, mys- tery, and charm, and until these foreign films started com- peting, Hollywood entertained the public royally, Now, it seems, only the restricted films are applauded and though Hol- lywood comes up with some spicy ones, they can't hold a candle to some of the works that come from across the sea. It's too bad; Hollywood de- serves more recognition on Os- car night. Next thing, they'll be taking the Oscar presenta- tion ceremony to London, Eng- land -- in which case they will have lost a viewer -- and I mean me!

Local teachers attend conference Over 400 delegates represent- ing the 26,000 members of the Federation of Women Teachers' -'Associations of Ontario attend- ed the Federation's annual Feb- ruary Conference in Toronto, February 17 to 19.

In your planning, allow about 20ffiu extra time to take care of them! 3. Don't be a TAILGATER! One car length for each 10 al, p.h. may be safe; make it two car-lengths to be safer. 4. If anyone wants to pass you, let 'em! If you want to pass anyone do so quickly if there's the smallest element of risk- don't even try! 5, Don't drive a vehicle with KNOWN .shortcomings(old, weak tires, ete.) at highway speeds; a small failure can trig,- ger a catastrophic crash! 6„. Everyone can't afford to drive a 1967 model, but every , One CAN assess the limitations of his particular vehicle — its age, its power (or lack of pow- er) its icliosyncracies„ Don't posh your luck by attempting something your car MIGHT not do!

HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 A feature article in a recent issue of the Brockville Recorder and Times will be of interest to many of our readers, especially those in the Gorrie district where the Danor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., had its beginning. Danor, one of Brockville's newest and fastest growing firms has absorbed the key factory workers of the James Smart Manufacturing Co. Ltd., which closed its doors at the end of January after 111 years of oper- ation. It was Brockville's old- est industry. The article states, "Smart's has vanished but in its place has come a small company with bright prospects tied into 20th century farming." President of Danor is Norman H. Carson, who has been with the company since it was form- ed in 1956 at Gorrie. It grew from a plumbing and heating business. It became limited in 1962, Stewart D. Beatty, general lb onager, was' with 'Selkirk Metal Products. When the Car- son-Beatty team was formed they were faced with the decis- ion of whether to operate from Gorrie or Brockville. The three- storey building in Gorrie was impractical for sheet metal work and a new plant was re- quired. Brockville's situation between Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, distribution centres, seemed the most suitable and Gorrie Mrs. Glad. Edgar, Mrs. R. M. Sweeney, Mrs. Hector Hamilton and Mrs. George Brown attended the U.C.W. Presbyterial in Wingham on Tuesday. Ricky Elliott won the Wit- tich's centennial coin contest on CKNX last week, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Irwin, David and Daryl of Palmerston, visited Sunday with Misses Em- ma and Mabel Irwin. Mrs. Duff Bell spent the week-end in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Haskins have moved to their new resi- dence on John Street. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Head, Tad, Kim and Kelly of Sarnia spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Strong. Miss Linda Douglas and Mr. Robt, Simmons of Owen Sound visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Manfred Irwin. Founded in Gorrie Danor Manufacturing Co. expands at Brockville Mr. Carson, his wife and two children moved there. Of the six who went to Brockville from Gorrie only Mr. Carson and Fraser Pollock, ac- countant and office manager, are now with the firm. In the summer of 196,5 Dan- or had eight employees. In less than two years it was necessary to double the plant size and the number of employees was tripl- ed. The firm is now ahead of the five-year forecast it had planned on moving to Brockvil- le. Mr. Carson's area of interest is in design and production. Many of the new products have been the brainchild of the presi- dent. Mr, Beatty is responsible for office and marketing. Danor manufactures air mov- ing equipment, power draft units for heating systems and fire- places; does sheet metal work for area industries and is a dis- tributor for products of another Brockville industry, the Selkirk- Metaibestos firm. A significant part of the firm's expansion has been in its air moving equipment -- more size variety in exhaust fanmod- els, more refinements and special-purpose fans. These products are designed chiefly for ventilating poultry and live- stock buildings. I A Decolog for Safe Driving.
