His big brown eyes and small-boy face are the kind that make strangers smile as they pass him on the The motion approving the con- tract was carried by five votes street. His answering grin is quick and warm. But Tim is not quite the wide- eyed, average boy he appears. The twig has started to bend. Who are his heroes? His older brothers. One of them, at 15, is in reform school for a gas station theft. The eldest, 19, is a full- fledged convict, guilty of armed ry. Tim doesn't admire their| erimes -- but he accepts them as| a matter of course. He does ad- mire his brothers and thinks of them as "real men", STILL HOPE Is there hope for Tim? Per- haps. It won't come from his home, where his father spends his earnings on drink and his mother is beaten and despairing It could come from school, but he is often truant. It might well eome from church if he would go. But there is one hopeful sign Recently, he joined the Boys' Club. The gymn, the library, the craft classes, the games -- all are his. Most of all, the Club leaders, professional and volunteer, are waiting to help him along the right road. They won't push or pry; that is against Club policy But they'll make it clear that they Famed U.S. Band Here Next Week The championship high school band of Lakewood, Ohio, is to visit Oshawa in April.

THE FACTS APPLY Do you think Tim is a fictitious case? He isn't. We've changed a few details, of course, but the facts apply. And they apply, with small variations, to thousands of other youngsters in Canada as well. These youngsters are our future; whether they swing to de- cency or delinquency is up to us.

It has been found that singing excites retarded children he says, and it can be used as a stepping stone to lead them to other in- | terests and occupations.

Board Secures 30 Teachers Recruiting teams, which visite [teachers colleges across Ontario April 4, were able to secure 50 new public school teachers for the city's schools, Dr. C. M Elliott, superintendent of public schools, reported to the Oshawa Board of Education Puesday night Dr. Elliott said it was a gratify- ing number and should be ade- quate for the needs of the public schools. The quality of the teachers was gratifying too, he said. Most had averages. There were a few 'A's but one team member seemed to "be at sea' quite a bit, he added Of the 50 teachers, 17 were re- cruited from the teachers' college in Toronto, 17 from. Peter- borough, six from Lakeshore, and five each from North Bay and Ottawa.
