J LAP ONE OF THE features of the annual Father and Son Meeting of the Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith Lodge, at Hotel Gen- osha Tuesday night, was the Suggests Hockey Officials Snowy Egret Be Allowed To Run Worl Olympic Hockey Star Fred Etcher Tuesday night suggested politicians should let the people who run hockey, run the world. He said it would be a much better world. He was comment- ing on how well the different nationalities got along at Oslo, Norway, during the 1958 World Championship Hockey. Mr. Etcher was guest speaker at the annual B'na B'rith father and son banquet. Also present at the banquet were members of the B'nai B'rith sponsored Bantam hockey team, that won the 1961 City League hockey championship. The hockey play- ers brought their fathers IMPORTANT VICTORY The speaker told the boys it was as important for them to win the bantam championship as it was for his team, the Whitby Dunlops, to . win the Allan Cup, which they did in 1957 and 1959.

Mr. Etcher showed films of skiing, skating and hockey at Squaw Valley, where he was leading scorer in the Winter Olympics. He said he had start- ed playing organized hockey and baseball at the age of 10. He played hockey for the Oshawa Junior B's for three vears and then played for the Oshawa Generals Junior A team for two years. After the Oshawa arena was destroyed by fire, he played with the Oshawa Truck- men Senior B team in Bowman- ville. Then he became a mem- ber of the Whitby Dunlop team. Mr. Etcher, Tuesday night, noticed that the bantam trophy being presented to the boys, was the same trophy that had been won by the first team he played for in 1943-44.

He said that there are more than adequate facilities to hold negotiations in Oshawa and considerable cost would be saved bv both narties. According to the GM Unit chairman, the National Canad- ian General Motors Intra Cor- poration Council has requested that George Burt, Canadian UAW regional director make arrangements to enable him to Six Drivers Fined $395 A total of $395 in fines was levied in the seven traffic cases that anpeared before Magistrate Robert B. Dneiper, in Oshawa Magistrate's court, Tuesday. Maurice E. Hearns, 22, of 182 Simcoe Street South, was fined $200 or 30 days for careless driving. Aquila Robichaud, 26, of 127 King Street East, was fined $75 or 10 days, on a sim- that a new look was being tak- en by the international union, regarding keeping the members informed of progress or lack of {progress of negotiations. In pre- |vious negotiations he said in- formation to the membership was very sparse, due to a black- out agreement on publicity, but no such agreement will be reached this year. He said that high on the list of demands to be submitted to General Motors will be increas- ed pensions, . fully paid health |and security and increased SUB to laidoff workers. Mr. Sutton said he sincerely hopes General Motors will ap- proach the bargaining table recognizing the obligations they have towards their employees, to share with them the tre- mendous profits resulting from their labor, to reach an amic- able agreement before the term- ination date of the present one, and to march forward together with' harmony in .the era of prosperity that lies ahead. Press Reports Aided Survey One thousand more cars pass- ed through the Oshawa Safety Lane this year than last. Ted Middlemass, chairman of the Safety Month Committee, giving his report to the Oshawa Safety League Tuesday night, said the lane had been a success this year. "This was largely due to the publicity in the newspaper and over the radio," he said. Other Mr. Freeman has given lots to an older son and a daughter. Services -- sewer and water if supplied to lots given by consent, are paid for by the city. But if the land owner puts on a plan of subdivision, he {must pay for the services him- self. Mr. Freeman says he is not in a financial position to do so. "I have sufficient services there now," he told council last night. "I am not asking the city to supply services." Ald. Finley Dafoe, who sits on the planning board, pointed out that council has no author- ity to grant consents. He said Mr. Freeman may appeal the board's decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. Ald. Dafoe added that in the past the planning board has re- fused applications for a first consent. "I think the planning board has been a little stern in this case," said Ald. John Dyer. "We are not setting a precedent; this is a matter of compassion." | Ald. John Dver thought coun- cil had no right to discuss the matter or recommend a change. He said he thought the maxi- mum number of consents (two) | set by the planning board was 'probably too high."

Napier Simpson, Jr., at a recent meeting of the Oshawa and District Historical Society. He illustrated his remarks with slides of historic Ontario build- ings. He explained that the first log dwellings, which the United Em- pire Loyalists erected, were small structures with one door and one window. They were looked upon by their owners as temporary shelters and were usually replaced within a year or two by what is now called the Loyalist type of house. These houses were generally of 1% storey construction with a "tight" or narrow eave. Loy- alist homes were heated at first by fireplaces. Such fireplaces were of ping and stone construc- tion with no iron, other than the cooking crane. The fireplaces were later replaced by iron stoves. FOLDING PARTITIONS Mr. Simpson explained that any settler, who built his home after 1861, immediately covered his log house with siding, if financially possible. He remark- ed that an interesting feature of some of the houses of this era is the folding inside partitions. | These partitions could be fold-| ed back to make room for the ever-popular square dances.
