As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, we have heard two positive reports that there is 'something'. An Oshawa woman told the Monster Editor that she "felt foolish" calling, because only she and her husband saw what might have been a monster, and no one else would believe them. "Three summers ago my hus band and I stood on the shore at Whitby Harbor. We . both happened to be looking in the same direction when something which appeared. to be a huge wheel twisting in the wate r appeared momentarily. It might have been a big: fish,' she said. The woman pointed out to the monster editor that this sight- ing took place before there was any mention of a monster. "We jnever said anything because we knew no one would believe us." If Times readers continue to co-operate by telephoning the Monster Editor at 723-3474 and giving truthful eye-witness re- ports, perhaps this anonymous woman would no longer 'feel foolish" yard, boys were busy excavating} the area enclosed by. the huge|SECOND SECTION LOCATED IN PARKS and school grounds, the city's 24 +=supervised playgrounds swung into action this week to provide recreation and in- struction in arts and crafts for thousands of children.

Opposing the motion -- Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean Mc- Pherson, Councillors M i lton Mowbray and Harvey Spang. Reeve J. S. Scott voted in the affirmative to break the tie. This action followed a re- quest by Andrew Dand, propri- etor of the Rouge Hills Gold and Country Club, who was heard by council on this and on a number of other matters. MANY RECEPTIONS Mr. Dand related that he did a very large wedding business at his club, entertaining at more than 60 wedding recep- tions per year. He has three large rooms for this purpose, each accommodating over 100 people. A banquet licence is obtained by the party givers in some cases, "If a licence is obtained for two of the rooms," said Mr. Dand, "and one is dry, there are bound to be incidents." Mr. Dand went on to say that the Police had no legal right to be on his property, yet Liquor Plebiscite pect to be. I do not want to be in the position, however, that one day I am licensed, and an- other I am not." "What you are saying is," said Councillor Mowbray, "that if people come to any type of function, other than weddings, you want a licence so that you can serve in the dining room." "Consumption goes down when golf clubs are licensed,' he added. Reeve Scott explained that council could initiate a vote, or a petition, requiring 25 per cent of the population signatures, could be circulated. NEED REAL DESIRE Councillor Mowbray said that he could not vote for the motion unless he felt that there was a real desire on the part of the people to have liquor out- lets in the township. He felt that in the northern part of the township, people were not par- ticularly concerned, since there were outlets in adjacent muni- cipalities if there was any need for liquor purchases. Councillor Harvey Spang concurred, both he and Mr. Mowbray believing that the police area would even- tually have to be extended to the north, which is presently they frequent it in order to find some way of prosecuting. is the only place in the Town-) ship of Pickering which does) any wedding business," said) Mr. Dand, "and has banquet) permits. We have thousands of other people trying to get a banquet permit. The only an- swer is have a vote." Mr. Dand maintained that there has not been such a vote in the Township since 1909, and that it was time there was an- other to see what the will of the people is. "T am not in favor of liquor," said Mr. Dand, "nor do I ex- "The Rouge Hills Golf Club} 5 policed by the OPP. Although the expense of a plebiscite was considered, Clerk Johnston estimating that it could cost as high as $5,000. Councillors Hubert Wank, W. J. Greening and Ross Deakin felt that the peo- ple should express themselves on the matter and decide wheth- er or not the township should be wet, and to what extent. "It would ease our custom- er's minds to know they are licensed," said Mr. Dand, "It is quite a strain having police officers coming in and insult- ing the guests. I don't see why we should be subject to this." Blood Need Knows No Seasons 'We are hoping for one of the largest blood clinics to date in Oshawa on Thursday stated R. H. Stroud, chairman of the Red Cross Blood Donor Committee, today. Mr. Stroud was comment- ing on the clinic to be held in St. Gregory's Auditorium today. The Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Red Cross is doing everything within it's power to acquaint organizations in Osh- awa with this free Blood Donor Service. Members of the com- mittee are willing to arrange for speakers, and pamphlets on the Red Cross Blood Donor Ser- vice. It is the aim of the committee to have at least 400 donors at- tend Thursday's clinic on Thurs- Two Oshawa aviators who set out for a trip to Washington, D.C., in a small aircraft last weekend returned to the Osh- awa airport Wednesday after- noon with the signature of President John F. Kennedy in their log book. The aircraft, an Aeronca Champion, bears the Depart- ment of Transport registration "JFK." A plan that started out as a half-joke became a "'darn good experience." Al Wattman, of Scarborough and Bill Leathers, of Whitby, conceived of the idea some time ago to visit President Kennedy with the air- craft that bears his initials. Inquiries at the United States Consulate resulted in word from Washington: "Sure, come on down." TAKEN SERIOUSLY "Actually we went down tongue - in - cheek," Mr. Watt- man said, 'but they took us real serious down there.' Unfortunately the men did not succeed in seeing the presi- dent personally, in spite of the efforts of White House offi- cials, They handed over their log books to one of Mr. Ken- nedy's private secretaries who took the books over to the president's office. "They did their utmost in trying to arrange an appoint- ment so we could see the pres- ident that day,'"' Mr. Wattman said, "but Mr. Kennedy. was tied up with various adminis- tration officials all day.' The aircraft is owned by the Oshawa Flying Club, of which both men are members. They each have no more than 100 hours flying time. When asked what they con- sidered the highlight of their trip, Mr. Wattman said: SOMETHING TO REMEMBER "I think the reception the people of the White House gave us will be something I will always remember. When you figure that just a couple of ordinary Canadians went down, we were more or less treated They took it in all seriousness, they extended every courtesy they possibly could and they really made us feel at home." Although the men did not actually meet with the presi- dent himself they met several other high officials, including Pierre Salinger, the president's press secretary, whom they de- scribed as a "one-hundred per- cent gentleman." During a ten- minute interview they discuss- ed with Mr. Salinger flying in Canada and their trip in particular, The total flying time, going down, was five hours and 38 minutes, not including stop. overs at St. Catharines, Buf- like semi-royalty down there.|; Log Book Is Signed By President Kennedy falo, Elmira, N.Y. and Harris- burg, Pa. Coming back they landed in Williamsport, Pa., El- mira and Buffalo. They logged five hours and 44 minutes on the return trip. "We did not have a bit of trouble with the aircraft. She did not cough once," they told happy club officials. VALUABLE EXPERIENCE Mr. Leathers, who acted as the navigator, felt he obtained much valuable experience in navigating. Only a few times, he admitted, he did not know exactly where he was, but due to the careful planning of the route with the help of the club's chief instructor, Sid Cowley, they never really got lost. "We went over some beauti- ful rugged country," he said. The men were outspoken in one respect: that the Oshawa airport is one to be proud of, Outside the major airports, Mr. Wattman said, they did not see one field that could match any of the ones in south-western On- tario, not even an airport such as Washington's Virginia Air- port. During a talk with. Nageeb Hallaby, administrator of the Federal Aviation Author- ity, they showed him pictures of the Oshawa field and Mr. Hallaby was duly impressed. "Our airport grass looks bet- ter than the White House lawn," Mr. Wattman said. day. As the holiday is here, more and more persons will require blood transfusions as the direct result of accidents on the highways and at the beaches. 'Requests for blood during the summer months is at a high peak", commented Mr. Stroud. 'Hospitals receive more re- quests for blood during the sum- mer months than at any other time of the year, and for this reason we must make sure .hat the supply of blood keeps flow- ing to our hospital." It takes an average of one bottle of blood every 15. seconds of every working day to main- tain an adequate supply of whole blood and blood products. More EXAM RESULTS OUT FRIDAY Eagerly awaited by thous- sands of Oshawa secondary school students since they finished writing their exam- inations in June, promotion results will be published in Friday's issue of the Oshawa Times. The results will cover the students registered at O'Neill Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute, Central Col- legiate Institute and Dr. F.J. Donevan College Institute. than 555,000 bottles of blood will be required for patients in Can- adian hospitals during the year. As you can see by this figure, the need for blood is urgent.
