4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, February 17, 1960 WHITBY And DISTRICT The Kinsmen Club of Whitby will this year celebrate its 18th anniversary and in doing so, |members look back on a history of many good works within the town. The actual anniversary is on May 15th. In 1942 22 of the younger busi- nessmen of the town, joined to- gether to form the charter club. Charter president was Harry Cur- tis. Since this was a time of war, their first major project, of course was to assist in Canada's war ef- fort. The club in the next four years raised $15,000 through car- pivals and other money-raising ventures and by 1946, they had sent 150,000 quarts of milk for children in Great Britain. Following the war, the Kinsmen turned their sights on bettering the town's recreational facilities, In 1947, the club purchased the old castle grounds, a block-square lot on Byron St. North, and promptly proceeded to develop the lot as a 1 [town park. Today, the park is the site of the { [community swimming pool, in the construction of which the Kinsmen i |took a leading part, and a child- ; \ren's playground, with equipment ARRANGE IODE FASHION SHOW supplied" and maintained by the club, One year ago, the Kinsmen built an open-air rink in the park but a capricious weatherman imade such a project almost im- possible without artificial ice. About the same time, the club purchased the old Taylor arena, which used to stand on the north east corner of the same lot as the present arena. The club for a few The House of Windsor Chap- ter of the IODE will be holding a fashion show in Whitby Dis- trict High School on Wednes- day, March 9. The Show called "Flight into Fashion" is being held to raise funds for the IODE educational and welfare work, and is sponsored by La Bouti- que Ladies Wear. In the picture above are the conveners and organizing executive of the show and seated left to right are Mrs. | John Davies, Mrs. John Vickers | and Mrs. Clarence Freek; standing left to right are Mrs. John Tuline and Mrs. John Harbie. Also on the committee are Mrs. Donald Hill and Mrs. Donald McQuay. Oshawa Times Photo years operated the old arena for minor hockey and public skating and as soon as a movement grew Whitby Kinsmen Look Back On Proud Record to build a new artificial ice arena for the town, the club promptly turned the old arena over as the club's donation to the new build- ing. Although the club had tackled two quite large projects it did not put all its charitable eggs in these two baskets. A program of assist- ance to local welfare was carried out and the club also started its plan to reward outstanding stud- ents at the Whitby District High School. These good works included sup- port for the Association for Re- tarded Children filling Christmas baskeis for needy families, sup- port for minor hockey, lacrosse, baseball and junior bowling, and support for other charitable or- ganizations in the town. Besides raising funds for all these worthwhile projects, the club members did not falter in other aspects of Kinsmen work. In 1943, while Cliff Gartshore was presideui, the Whitby group was instrumental in the founding of the Ajax Kinsmen Club, which had 94 charter members, the largest in Canada at that time. Two years ago, an auxiliary group, made up of wives of Kins: men, the Kinettes, was formed. Sylvia Snelgrove was charter pre-| sident and the current president is Joy Rich. In the fellowship department, the Whitby club rates an *A". Annually the club sends a strong delegation of members to the tri- service club golf tournament, which was first organized by the Kinsmen and sees Kinsmen, Ro- tarians and Kiwanians from Whit- by all on the course together, competing for the B. and R. tro-| phy, provided incidentally by two Kinsmen, Harold Bonnetta and Clair Rich. For the past two years, the club has also sponsored a tri-service club bongpiel at the new Whitby Curling Club, in which the same three clubs of the town partici pate. Added to this event this year will be members of the newly formed Whitby Lions Club. Funds for all these projects are raised mainly through Kin Karni- vals, which in recent years have been whopping successes and have added not only to the club's eof- fers but also to the club's pres- tige. The present membership is 33, not much larger than the original 22, but each year the enthusiasm grows as the club finds more scope for the service it offers, Over the years, club presidents have been charter president Harry Curtis, Cliff Garishore, Max Tundall (deceased), Fred Twist, Bill Sala, Gord Hawes (a life member), Doug Pearse, Stan Martin (now mayor of Whitby), Divorces May Turn Out Invalid Francois Pouliot (L -- Quebec) said Tuesday night the thousands of divorces granted by the On- tario courts since Parliament em- powered them to do so in 1930 may not be valid. In an hour-long speech before the Senate approved a number of divorce bills, Senator Pouliot re- ferred to the drafting of 'he Brit- ish North America Act which gave exclusive rights to the fed- eral parliament to legislate on marriage and divorce. "If the constitution means something , . . was it possible for the Parliament of Canada to create divorce courts in the prov- ince of Ontario" It seems quite out of the ordinary." If the Ontario courts were un- constitutionally empowered then their rulings were "ultra vires" --beyond their jurisdiction. "Unfortunately . . . everybody has taken the law for gran'ed and not considered it with regard to the constitution," he said.

Harry Town and publication of Commons debales, ger. Mr, using the Canadian coat of arms and the name and title of the Commons Speaker, constitute a breach of parliamentary privi- lege? After some Initial disagree- ment, the Commons unanimously agreed Tuesday that the question should be examined by its com- miltee on privileges and elec- tions. The issue arose when Murdo Martin (CCF -- Timmins) com- plained that a breach of privilege and contravention of law was in- volved in a mailing campaign by a Toronto company designed to promote trading stamps. He drew attention to a four- page pamphlet sent out by Sperry and Hutchinson Company of Can- ada Limited which reproduced the front page of Hansard--offi- cial report of Commons debates --and the Hansard report of a Jan, 26 speech by Margaret Ait- ken (PC--York-Humber) O0ppos- ing any move for a government ban on trading stamps. The photostatic copy of the Hansard front page showed the Canadian coat of arms and the name and title of Speaker Roland Michener. DISAGREE 'WITH PM 4 Mr. Martin's question of privi- lege produced disagreement be- tween Prime Minister Diefen- baker on the one hand and Speaker Michener, Oppos ition Leader Pearson and CCF spokes- men, on the other. The latter took issue with the prime minis- ter's statement that no precedent exists for taking action on the basis of a complaint sucle as Mr. Martin's. Martin's JDurpose ha served by the publicity, given the matter. Further action would only give it greater atten- tion than was necessary. Speaker Michener thought otherwise. The Hansard report is published under his authority and the public could use it freely so long as it was used fairly. There also was the possibility of abuse, On the face of it, the Sperry and Hutchinson pamphlet seemed to be a breach of privi- lege. Erhart Regier (CCF--Burnaby- Coquitlam) expressed amazement at Mr. Diefenbaker's view "be- cause he above all Canadians es- tablished for himself a reputation on this very issue of the pres- ervation of the rights and privi- leges of members of the House." PEARSON SURPRISED Mr. Pearson also confessed to surprise at Mr. Diefenbaker"s statements, He thought Mr, Mar- tins original suggestion of calling the Sperry and Hutchinson presi- dent before the Commons bar to explain had gone too far. But he agreed it was proper for the privileges committee "to see whether in fact there has been a serious breach of privi- lege and whether the records of the House may have been used-- whether by inadvertence or by design we do not know--to mis- lead the public." Responsibility for the mailings was acknowledged in Toronto Monday night by Byrne Hope Sanders, Toronfo consultant for Sperry and Hutchinson of New York. She said she thought Han- sard was public property. The pamphlets, she said, were The prime islation on the matter.
