Kiwanians Plan For Big Karnival Members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, together with their guests of the day, enjoyed something new and different in the form of a pro- gram, at their regular luncheon meeting yesterday. 3 Special sing-song session of Irish bers, in keep with the 17th date and the announce- ment that Kiwanis Lieutenant vernor Bob Stroud of the Dun- barton Club would make his of- ficial visit to the Oshawa Club next Tuesday, proved the only two aside items on the day's agenda. The majority of the meeting was devoted to the promotion of the club's newest fund-raising venture, a radio auction, which is to be held by Oshawa Kiwanians, thro- gh thé facilities of the local sta- tion , on April 8th. NO CAR DRAW Oshawa Kiwanis Club will hold their annual Kiwanis Karnival at « the Oshawa Arena on May 1st and 2nd this year, but for the first time in many years, the Oshawa Kiwanians will not be holding an automobile draw. Frowned on by Kiwanis International, the Oshawa Club directors have ruled that no automobile will be "raffled" this year and the decision to stage a radio auction, is one of several ideas which will be carried out, in 'order to raise funds for the club's charity and service work in the community. Vice-President Kiwanian Jack Fry was the main speaker at Tuesday's meeting. He explained how the radio auction will be con- ducted on April 8th and described in detail the work that lies ahead for every member of the club. In addition to the club officers, Kiwanians Ken Conlin, Ted Withe- ridge and Art Crocket each have special jobs in connection with the auction, with Kiwanians George Campbell and Mac Hood in charge of publicity and advertising. SEVEN CAPTAINS Seven team captains were nam- ed at Tuesday's meeting, Kiwani- ans "Jimie" Souch, Vern Walker, Doug. Coombs, Reg. Lancaster, Drew Lindsay, Don Storie and Bill Gibhie. Folowing this, every mem- ber of the club was allotted to a certain team. Each member has contacts to make to secure suitable items of merchandise or vouchers, auctioned off on April 8th, to the highest bidder, the auction to be made over the radio and the bids to be accepted over the telephone It is planned to auction off about 400 articles, rating in value from $5.00 up to such items as an elec- tric stove, television set, etc. Something new for the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, it is felt tha the pro- ject will arouse tremendous inter- est among the citizens of Oshawa, will be generously supported and that it will produce a sizeable con- tribution to the club's funds, for this year's budget.

One depicted scenes in Florida and the views of the fish from the glass bottom boats was par- ticularly well done, Interest was shown in this venture and Mr. Wager kindly gave technical infor- mation later. The other film had its first showing in Canada and was taken by eight members of the Washington Amateur Movie Club of which Mr. Wager is a member and was the inauguration of President Truman. There were some excellent telephoto scenes Mr. Wager also showed a plece of equipment he designed and had made from aluminum to assist in taking close shots with the cam- eras.

Fair presi- dent Cliff Hagerty, with Dr. W. H. Gifford and Lew McConkey, the secretary, met with the dairy com- mittee which consists of Alex Muir and E. J. Powell, of the Holstein section, Joe Milligan of Brooklin and Frank Fry of Whitby, repre- senting the Guernsey section, Wil- liam and Harry Boyes, of Picker- ing, speaking for Ayreshire breed- ers, and Frank Chapman and How- ard Farndale, of the Jersey sec- on. "The "Big Four" group of the Guernsey Association, covering breeders in four counties, is to bring its show to Oshawa this year. There will be at least 150 head of Guernsey cattle exhibited and a similar sized class of Jerseys is also anticipated. So large will be the cattle shows that they will be spread over three days, for the first time. Jerseys and Guernseys will be judged on the opening Thursday by Norman McConkey, of Peterborough, with Willlam Ness, of Aurora, as his alternate. On the Friday the ever - increas- ing classes of Holstein and Ayre- shire cattle will be shown and on the Saturday the beef cattle will be moved in. "This will make Oshawa fall fair's cattle show one of Ontario's biggest and will g 'e breeders a |j fine chance to get their cattle ready for exhibition time," said Lew McConkey, today.

(Mar14,16,18) Big Response Pram Appeal Two happy mothérs will be tak- ing part in Oshawa's annual East- er parade of new prams and new babies. Last weekend the local wel- fare department, through The Times - Gazette, appealed for two prams. The prams were needed for two women who are borderline relief cases. They have enough money for the bare necessities of life but not enough to buy prams for the new arrivals, \ Within a few hours of the publi- cation of the appeal six offers of prams, all in excellent "condition, were made to the welfare depart- ment and were accepted. "We are quite thrilled by the response. People in Oshawa cer- tainly answer calls promptly and with a fine spirit," said Miss Mar- ion Bannon, on behalf of the wel- fare department. She explained that the gift of prams, mattresses, etc., help to fill in gaps in Canada and Oshawa's welfare systems. Supplies are still transported by pack animals in Afghanistan but moor transport is rapidly increas- g. LE Revised Plans Will Be Studied Hosts To March 17 was Ladies' Night for the Oshawa Council of the Knights of Columbus. About 120 members and their ladies gathered in St. Gregory's Separate School Audi- torium to celebrate and keep green the memory of St. Patrick. Round and square dancing was the order of the e vening to the music of the Columbian Four. The caller, Ray Greentree, was in fine form. A special feature of the pro- gram was a group of three songs by Mrs. Kinsman, whose choice of "Macushla', "The Dear Little Girl" and "Danny Boy', was en- dorsed by the hearty applause at the end of her recital. More dancing followed during which many impromptu sing-songs were indulged in by the dancers when the band played mapy Irish tunes. A splendid buffet lunch was se after which Grand Knight Columbus Knights Ladies James Smythe thanked all who had made the event so successful and he also reminded the gathering that Rev. Paul Dwyer, DD, pastor of St. Gregory's was that day cele- brating his 30th year as a priest. 7° Rev. Father Dwyer in a happy speech of thanks for their congratu- lations, said that the four years he had spent as pastor of St. Gregory's. were the happiest of his 30 years. The assembled guests gave him an enthusiastic welcome and sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". The event was voted the highlight of the present season. The Council will hold its corpor- ate Communion and breakfast at St. Gregory's Church on March 29, at the 9 a.m. Mass. The speaker for the occasion will be Rev. Fath- er Chafe of the Scarboro Mission- ary College, and is expected that a 100 per cent turnout will be the order of the day. . At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Oshawa General Hospital held last evening, J. A. Morphy, Chairman of the Planning Committee for the new building, reported that further pro- gress has been made toward getting a completely revised set of plans. The architects, Messrs. Govan, Fer- guson, Lindsay and Associates, have prepared new plans for the main floor and basement. These involve a great deal of detail and they are now working on the plans for the other floors. PLANNING COMMITTEE Mr. Morphy stated that it is the intention to have a full meeting of the Planning Committee together with the Buikling Committee of the Medical Staff at an early date to go over 'these plans. The Board also considered the matter of putting on a campaign for public subscriptions for the ad- ditional amount necessary to fin- ance the new 100-bed addition, and it was thought this should be sche- duled for the late spring or early summer.. However, the Executive Committee is to give this matter further consideration and work out details. The Superintendent, W. A. Holl- and, reported that the hospital would receive an additional grant of $65,000 from the Province of On- tario. This was based on $400 per bed for 161 "old beds" for which grants had not previously been made, and 46 "new beds" at $100 per bed. This mongy will be used for the rehabilitation of buildings, replacement of equipment, or any suitable purpose that the Board de- cides. WILL WELCOME LABOR The Chairman, Ernest Marks, re- ported on an interview which he and Mr. Holland had had with rep- resentatives of labor. After some discussion a motion was passed fav- oring membership on the Board from labor groups; and, the Board went on record as welcoming nomi- nations. These nominations would have to be placed before the annu- al meeting and voted on in accord- ance with the constitution. The an- nual meeting is scheduled for April and "Welcome Toronto" in| 2g The Superintendent reported that \the municipalities of Oshawa, East Whitby and Whitby Townships, and Ajax, have paid the dificiency per- taining to their respective munici- palities in the handling of indigent patients. It is expected also that the Town of Whitby will contribute its share. The date set for the nurses' gra- duation this year is June 11, and the guest speaker will be Rev. T. A. Morgan, of Trinity United Church, Bowmanville, The Board was advised that Miss Mary Bourne will continue in her position as Director of Nursing and the members expressed satisfaction with this decision. The Superintendent passed on to the Board a recommendation that an Advisory Committee for the School of Nursing be set up to con- sider policies relating to admission qualifications, remuneration of stu- dents, examinations, etc. This mat- ter was referred to the Executive Committee. The Superintendent mentioned a need for somecne to take charge of credit and collections, and -this also was referred to the Executive Committee. Resignations were received from Miss Jill Coggin, Obstetrical De- partment, and Miss Lily Huska, Op- erating Room.

Speaking of recent developnients in the UAW's negotiations with | General Motors Corporation in the | U.S.A., Mr. McNeil disclosed that the union had requested the cor- poration to put all but five cents of the peak escalator figure of 26 cents into the base rate of the workers. The corporation, in re- turn, offered to put 14 cents of the escalator figure into the base rate of employees. In making this offer, urged Mr. McNeil, the corporation acknowl- eged the soundness of the union's position. But the offer was still deemed inadequate. IMPROVEMENT FACTOR The union requested also some change in the annual improvement factor of four cents, suggesting that it be raised to the 1953 stan- dard of five cents. (In Oshawa, the annual improvement factor is three cents.) But the company steadfast ly refused to move in this matter. A need for increasing pensions in order to offset the increase in living costs and restore the value of present pension benefits to their original standard was drawn to the ahisation of the American corpora- on, GMC also answered with a pega- tive the desire of the union to eliminate the arbitrary compulsory retirement provisions, which at present compel workers to retire without regard to their physical capabilities and personal desires. The corporation offered the skill- ed trades workers a five cent wage increase, effective June 1, » which in the opinion of the union was inadequate, according to Mr. McNeil. DEMANDS CLARIFIED A statement issued by the inter- national union of autoworkers at this time attempts to clarify the philosophy behind these demands. "The established policy of the UAW-CIO," says the Detroit mani- festo, "has been that long - term agreements are possible and prac- tical only to the extent that both management and labor consider such agreements as living docu- ment. Such living documents must not, during their lifetime, foreclose the working out of such practical problems as may arise which the parties could not anticipate at the time the documents were formu- lated. "Any approach," the statement continues, "which regards the con- tract as a legalistic, static docu- ment which fails to deal with prac- tical problems when they develop makes long-term agreements un- workable, impractical, impossible and unacceptable.' A full report of these negotia~ tions and their implications will be given at the Atlantic City conven- tion, announces: John Brady, fi- nancial secretary of Local 222 and one of the convention delegates. "And whatever is negotiated in the U.S.A. will be equally appli- cable to local workers," he A Stewart McQuade, James Allen and Miss D. Gray, all of Bowman- ville. Wes McMahon and Miss Jeanne Coulter attended the Ice Frolics of '53 in Bowmanville on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Kellett of Oshawa spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. H. McMullen.
