b 4 THE OAMAWA 1IMED, Tuesaay, July 3, 17ov GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN TWO FIREMEN AID SIR STORK ! The birth notice in The Oshawa Times last night read as follows: NORMOYLE -- Mae and Dan wish to an- nounce the safe arrival of their daughter, Sandra Denise, on Thursday, June 30, 1960. Special thanks to the Oshawa Fire Department. There's a good news story behind that notice. Also, Mae and Dan Normoyle won't soon forget the Oshawa Fire Department, especially two members of the Cedardale Station -- Acting Captajn Phil Elm- hurst and Fireman George Burke -- who were on hand when tley desperately needed help. . The fateful hour arrived about 11:20 p.m. last Thursday when the Normoyles -- she's 39 and he's a former member of the Oshawa Generals baséball team -- were enroute in the family car to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital where Mrs. Normoyle (the former Mae Watkinson) was to give birth to her fourth child.

Mrs. Normoyle and her daughter -- she'll be named Sandra Denise -- were in good condition when they arrived at the Oshawa General soon after. The Normoyles have three other children, Sharon, 21; Bob,19 and Terri Lynn, 11. JOE VICTOR NEARS LAW DEGREE When we read about the Osgoode Hall Law School graduations in Toronto, we were reminded of a pledge made five years ago by Joseph Victor of Oshawa: That he would throw a champagne party the day he graduates from that in- stitution. Primarily because we hope to be invited to that party, we have followed the progress of Mr. Victor in the higher halls of learning with avid interest, Who is Mr. Victor ? He's the former Osh- awa city councillor who developed a strong thirst for learning after he be- came a grandfather, after he'd been. away from school far 22 years that's when he enrolled at University College, Tor= onto, in 1955 at the age of 38 and proceeded to get his Bachelor of "Arts degree in three years, It was an incredible performance, not only because he graduated in 1958 with one of his sons, but because he. continued to work part time in his successful sports good store at 38 Bond street west (when not burning the midnight oil over text books, or commuting daily via bus to and from Toronto). Victor today is perilously close to his objectives -- a law degree and that champagne party. He recently completed his second year by passing in all nine subjects without a "sup", All being fair and even, he should receive his Bach- elor of Laws degree next June when he will be 44, at an age when most people have long closed the door on higher education. He still commutes via bus during the school year. He still works hard ip. his store. He plang to read two books this summer == on Jurisprudence -- to help next year when he will have 11 or 13 subjects. What does he plan to do with his law degree ? He doesn't know, but it's unlikely he will return to municipal politics. He was an alderman three years. "After graduation, I must serve 15 months while articled to a legal firm," he explained. "I will have to decide next fall what type of law I%ill follow, but right now I'm undecided." Whenever we feel fatigued, we think of the amaz- ing stamina, drive and determination of the former Oshawa alderman whose amazing feats on the ladder of higher education leave us a little dizzy. JOSEPH VICTOR HOW ABOUT A MISS OSHAWA CONTEST ? Most citizens have a pet peeve. Here's one from Edward Kolodzie that he voices annually about this fime of year. Dear Mr, Gearin: So Oshawa, a growing city of 60,000, has finally had an entrant in the Miss Canada beauty pageant--Miss Eve Hudson? She is to be congratulated--but this must be some kind of record. At least a dozen years have passed since Oshawa's Jast entrant in this annual event. How long. is this to continue? Surely Oshawa - has well-qualified, talented, and beautiful girls capable of placing high in such a contest. Who knows? We may have a potential Miss America . . . but only if the opportunity is available. We already have Miss Red Feather, Miss Teenage Roadeo, Miss Central, and Miss Donevan contests at various times throughout the year. Is there no service club or civic-minded group 'that would sponsor a Miss Oshawa contest? Now is the time to begin planning for next year's Miss Oshawa. Yours respectfully, Edward S.

M. Douglas Morfon (PC--Tor- onto 'Davenport) disagreed. He argued that it would be wrong in principle to have such import- ant declarations affecting all Canadians passed by the British Parliament. day. He told the Commons agricul- re committee that it has nar- rowed the American transporta- tion cost figures, and put Ameri-| can wheat in a better competitive position in world markets. Prior to completion of the sea- way, U.S. wheat moved from Du- luth to Buffalo by lake ship, and where it was transferred to comparable shipments ef Cana- dian grain from the Lakehead to Canadian east coast ports. "The seaway has been of more assistance to American growers than to Canadians," Mr. Milner said. "We were more favorably situated relative to them, and the seaway has made it possible for them to come closer to us in the cost of moving grain." It was Mr. Milner's last ap- pearance before the Commons committee. He expects to retire before Parliament meets next |year. He said he did not kmow {who his successor would be.

The most significant portent to date is the letter sent by (Basque priests to the bishops of the four northern provinces and to Msgr, Ildebrando Antoniutti, papal envoy to Madrid who served in Ottawa for. many years as apostolic delegate to Canada. CITIZEN UNPREPARED The letter, coely and dispas- sionately phrased, charges the Franco regime with having de- stroyed liberty, running a super- propaganda machine that con- trols press, radio and other means 'of. communication and failing to prepare the citizen for participating in public affairs. "Spain has no genuine parlia- ment, no political liberty, no free labor unipns," says the Ilefter, {reported to have been signed by more than 300 priests.
