TUG BOAT CAPTAIN IES ST. CATHARINES (CP) -- Cap- tain Gordon Thomas Baker, 50, a former tugboat captain on the Welland ship canal, died Thurs- day. Prior to becoming a tug cap- tain on the transport department staff several years ago, he was in the construction business. & RCSCC "Drake", corps, is more fortunate than some in that it has the vast body of water in Lake Ontario available for practical training. The Drake, like all other corps, accepts any boy of 14 years of age regardless of class, creed or color and gives him an outlet for his teenage vigor an enthusiasm in teaching him the ways of the sea under the guid- ance of navy-trained and experi- enced officers and youth leaders. The cadet receives such useful training in practical seamanship as knots and splices, small boat work, navigation, signalling and other skills of the sea. The Drake has its own band and in leisure time the boys indulge in other ac- tivities like basketball and floor hockey. LEARNS DISCIPLINE Along with this wide range of training he learns a discipline and an acceptance of responsibility that will stand him in good stead throughout his life. The Oshawa corps is made up of 45 cadets. The recently opened barracks at 44 Oshawa Boulevard provide excellent quarters, Com- manding Officer H. Maynard re- ports. It could accommbdate 150 boys quite easily, he said. Like each of the other 94 Sea Cadet Corps in Canada, the Drake is well-equipped and well-staffed. It issues its own uniforms and is responsible for its own boats, com- passes, signal lamp, movie pro- 10 Become Usef By JERRY NOOHAN In a country the size of Canada, inland dwellers too often do not appreciate the importance of the sea to the national economy. Despite the fact that Canada does a large amount of overseas trading the need for adequate 'maritime development and for sea knowledge and conscio- usness in this country is not always appreciated. In this respect the work of the Navy League of Canada in brining of the sea to inlanders is of much more than passing importance, That it uses this theme to provide youth training in Sea Cadet Corps in every province means that it is performing a double-barrelled national service, worthy of its inclusion on the Oshawa Community Chest. the Oshawa &-- jector and other facilities. The main floor of the barracks on Oshawa Boulevard is laid out like a main deck complete with a quarter deck, a ward room and a ship's log. s Below there is a signals room, a seamanship room, a men's mess and a clothing room. TRAINING COURSES The Sea Cadet Corps offers vari- ous camps and courses to coincide with the educational background of the boy. A basic engineering course of seven weeks can be tak- en at Stadacona. After its success- ful completion an honorarium of $100 is awarded. There is also a 14-day leadership course at Corn- wallis and s seven-week course in communications at Cornwallis. The Navy League also offers a total of 32 scholarships for cadets that qualify. Twenty of these are valued at $250 each and can be taken at any Canadian University. Ten are for a value of $580 fo be taken at one of the Canadian Serv- ices College. Two are for $1,500. The cadets receiving these study at HMS Conway in Britain. The summer camp for local ca- dets is at Camp Ewing, 60 miles north of Montreal. Every boy who can possibly do so is encouraged to spend two weeks. there.

Year round courses are held at Simcoe Hall to educate adults in first aid, ambulance care and home nursing.

The Saint John's were at all the Oshawa fairs, several big picnics, First of July races, and many other functions. Their treatments ran all the way from finding the parents of little lost children to administering alka-seltzer for headaches. Several people smitten with sunstroke kept them busy at one particular UAW picnic a few years ago. Cadets who go about the grounds during fairs and functions are eas- ily recognized in their prim black and white uniforms. Other duties for the girls include helping at blood donor clinics held at General Hospital. CADET TRAINING ... ... ... ... The cadets meet Monday eve- nings in Simcoe Hall. Their organ- ization blends civic training much Scouts' with added classes in treat- ment and care of the ill and wound- ed. Rudiments of nursing including child welfare, home nursing, nutri- tion and care of pets are taught the nursing cadets. Boys, along with ambulance duties, - hobby crafts, fire fighting, signalling and interpretership take the same classes as girls in first aid, citizen- ship and drill. INCENTIVE TO YOUTH The Saint John Association, be- lieves Mrs. Moody, corps leader of the 36 girls, provides incentive to learn the basics of the medical profession. It is a wonderful op- portunity for the boys and girls to learn more about these careers at the same time they enjoy social contacts with young people of their own age. The important part, she feels, is that the Society helps them to help others. St. John Ambulance Always Ready To Give Its Services In Emergency They pitch their white tents --|similar to Girl Guides' and Boy Cadets over 16° years, with first aid training, join the adult corps. The nursing corps accept girls with certificates in home nursing from the Red Cross or Saint John and a first aid certificate Meetings of the men's ambulance corps are held weekly at Simcoe Hall; the nurses meet every other week. The $600 supplied to the Saint John Ambulance Crorps by the Community Chest is used to buy equipment, supplies, and medicines for the humane work donc and to cover the costs of education classes and transportation of the tents to fairs, picnics and games where people ar out to enjoy themselves, and the Saint John is out to ensure their safe enjoyment. Any organization wishing the help of the Saint John Corps has only to ask, to be provided, free of chatge, with a miniature clinic and staff. ST.

"There's always been talk in the central provinces about the Mari- jimes being stagnant," mayor Har- ris, said in an interview. "But it's not true today, We're on the up- grade now. In fact we're right at the threshold of a great future based on mineral development." And the mayor has no doubt about Moncton's future. "We're already going ahead by leaps and bounds. We've doubled the population of Greater Monc- ton in the last five years, and by 1965 we'll have outgrown Saint John and be the biggest city in New Brunswick." Population of Greater Moncton is about 60,000 today, he said. Maritimes Expect A Great Future "The day Newfoundland joined confederation was a red letter one for us," he said. "Moncton is the logical distribution point for the Atlantic provinces, and its chief air centre." Air traffic had increased more rapidly during the last 12 months at the city's airport than at any other airport in Canada. Apart from handling 27 per cent of New Brunswick's retail trade, Moncton was becoming the distribution point for remote areas reached only by ain. "The opening of iron mines in northern Quebec, the development of mineral resources in the prov- ince, and the expansion in air traffic, have touched off a boom in our city," mayor Joyce said. "Halifax and Saint John base their prosperity on the sea; our future lies in the air." Helicopters | To Explore : | mining e arm sling fo Mrs. O.

The directors said that under a two-price system Canada could sell surplus agricultural commodities abroad at lower-than-domestic pri- ces, provided those export prices were not below those of competing | exporting countries. ! To implement a two-rice sys-| tem, it will be necessary to have | adequate marketing legislation at both provincial and federal levels, said J. C.

To provide funds for these pur- poses the Navy League is includ- ed in the organizations included in the Oshawa Community Chest.
