: 1 "Cy onic Cloud i | 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, April 12, 1960 IGNORANCE FATAL | GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Need To Tell OLD FASHIONED WINTERS CAN BE COSTLY Talk about the cost of a good old-fashioned winter, such as the one we just had! The board of works set aside $135,000 in its 1960 budget for several items which have to do with snow clearing--more than $112,704 of this amount was spent up to, and including, last March 19. For instance, $17,000 was earmarked for snow plowing, but $23,913 was spent. Here are other 1960 expenditures to March 19, (as released by Alderman Walter Branch, chairman of the board of works) with the amount budgeted in par- enthesis: Sidewalk clearing -- $5,398 ($5,400) Clearing catchbasins and gutters of ice and snow --- $17,166 ($25,000) Sanding roads and walks -- $61,170 ($75,000) Snow blowing -- $5,054 ($3,600) Removel of sands from road in spring -- ($9,000) WHAT MAKES A HOCKEY CLUB GREAT? Perhaps this is one reason why the Montreal Can- adiens are such a successful hockey club--they treat their hired hands well, including Mr. Wren Blair, the excellent hockey manager-coach who is listed as the Habs' 'placement officer in charge of their "senior am- el (in addition to his duties as manager of the Dunnies and of the Clinton Comets of the East- ern U.S. Hockey League). However, Mr. Blair and his wife Elma were the guests last week of the Montreal management, in Montreal, for the second Stanley Cup playoff game with all 'expenses paid (at the Queen Elizabeth) Mr. Blair, who doesn't mind mixing business with pleasure, took advantage of the occasion to confer with Sam Pollock, his immediate superior in the organization, who is the Habs personnel director. Blair says he expects the Habs to win and that they were the better team in the first two games, des- i he close scores, He points out that Backstrom, the regular Hab lineup, despite the excellence of their play. THE TAYLOR TWINS ARE 23 NOW Oshawa's dancing Taylor Twins are 23 now. The nimble-footed sons of Mr. and Mrs. A Horchik of 194 Farewell evenue were the honored guests recently at a surprise birthday party here on their return from an engagement at the Bal Tabarin in Quebec City Former Alderman John Dyer did not say "no" this week when asked if he would seek a council seat in the next municipal election. ' "PROHIBITIONIST PROPAGANDA" RAPPED Crown Attorney Alex Hall said recently that he was pretty well fed up with militant groups who tried to teach children that alcohol is evil. Many parents will concur heartily with this state- ment made in Toronto before the Attorney General's advisory council on alcoholism. The council was discussing a report from David Archibald of the Ontario Research Foundation advocat- ing a stepped-up approach to the problem of alcohol when Mr. Hall said: "If T have a drink at home after work my children eome home and. say their teacher told them that all alcohol is evil. I object to some of the material given to children by militant - prohibiiionists. No matter how well-intentioned these people are they are putting out nothing but militant propoganda." The council is performing an invaluable service to humanity. Mr. Hall's stand, however, will win support, especially from those husbands who fear that such pro- hibitionist propaganda endangers one of their most cherished rights--the right to a Scotch-and-soda in the quiet of their home after 2 harrowing day at the office or shop. CARDINAL SCHEDULED TO VISIT HERE His Eminence Cardinal James McGuigan is sched- uled to visit Oshawa en Sunday, May 1st., for the of- tical opening of the new St. Gertrude's Church on King street east. Rev. John B. Myers is the pastor. He re- cently assumed this post on the death of Rev. Frank Mahoney last month. Father Mahoney organized and started the parish about eight years ago ..... Mem- bers of the Ontario Regiment are making plans for their annual Military Ball which is to be held this year on Friday April 22 in the Armories with Mart Kenny's orchestra as one of the attractions. This is one of the most colorful social events of the local year. All ranks participate and the Armories is decked out for the affair like a Mardi Gras ballroom in New Orleans. Two powerful search lights will grace the turrets atop the building on Simcoe street to greet the incoming guests. Lt.-Col. M. C. Finley, officer commanding, and his staff expects more than 400 guests, many from out of town. UPSHAW BRINGS HONOR TO JAYCEES Fred Upshaw of Oshawa will represent the local Jaycees here on Sunday, May 8 in the Eastern Ontario oratorical finals of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Upshaw, 24-year-old chairman of the club's youth development committee, won this right in Toronto Sat- urday by taking first place in the District 7 contest. The subject of his prepared speech was "Jaycees and Canadianism" in which he urged Canada to have its own flag and national anthem. Upshaw said Canadian newspapers, magazines also radio and television programs, should contain more about Canada. "The average Canadian can tell you all about Davey Crockett, but he knows very little about Champlain." Canadians should also believe in, live and support Brotherhood, he said. "If these basic principles become a reality, there's no reason why Canadianism should not be one of the strongest 'isms in the world," he added. Mr. Upshaw speaks with force and conviction and is a welcome addition to Oshawa's growing list of young public speakers who win honors in competition with the best contestants from outside, ical term for a large circulatory movement, and was not talking of the more localized hurricane and tornado movements. Cancer Facts BOWMANVILLE (Staff)--Ly- man Henderson, vice-president of the Ontario division of the Canadian Cancer Society, Mon- day night told the Lions club that ignorance of the facts about can. cer can be fatal. Mr. Henderson said from re- cent research and surveys made on cancer patients it was ob- vious in many cases that the cancer patient is nui getting to the doctor in time.
