In Hall, who proposed the toast to grand lodge, paid tribute to Mr. Wilson as a humanitarian whose genius for organization had resulted in his making and growth of the community. Mr. Wilson reminded his audience that they are living in a great age and a great city. Many, he said, would recall when Oshawa had a pop- ulation of 15,000. The expansion of General Motors had meant much to the community's econ-| omy. As a result residents of Oshawa today had much to be proud of. At one Oshawa time was andra Park. Today it could boast of its fine school and park systems as well as a hos- pital with 600 beds. Its utilities commission had kept pace with the city's growth. As a result few cities could boast services such as those enjoyed here. Mr. Wilson stressed that Clinics Open Next Tuesday The Oshawa Safety League at its first fall meeting Tues- day night announced its "Baby Sitting Educational Program" was successful. The course, designed by the Ontario Safety League and sponsored by the Oshawa Safe- ty Léague and the Board of Education, deals with safety in the home and child care, It began last September and the Safety League hopes it con- tinues with the same success this year.

The disclosure came a few Labor Body Would Drop Poll Tax Oshawa City Council will be asked-to dispense with poll tax collections. 4 ; Keith Ross, Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council secretary- treasurer, told the council Tues- day night that the city collects| approximately $8,000 annually in poll tax and it costs about $10,- 000 to collect that, amount, He said that the law which states that all single males be- tween ages 21 and 60 years must pay ll tax is an old antiquated law enacted by the provincial government and one which the municipalities can dispense with if they so desire. However, Mr. Ross said, not only single males are forced to pay poll tax. "Tf a married man and his family are living with someone and do not have their own kit- chen, then that man is subject to poll tax. I know of a person whose employer was told to take the $10 poll tax out of his wages -- or else -- after the man refused to pay," Mr. Ross said. . In addition, he said, a single male 'student attending a uni- versity in Ontario is not subject to poll tax, but a student at- Che Oshawa Times SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1962: PAGE FIFTEEN tending a university outside the province is not exempt from the tax, "We aré all concerned with injustice and I feel that poll tax is injustice, It's about time this ridiculous tax ceased,"" Mr. Ross} said. | He added that poll tax is dis- crimination against the single man. Why. not impose poll tax against single females as well as males if it must be paid. "After all," Mr, Ross quipped, "it's the women who cause the marriages." The council voted unanimous- ly to accept Mr. Ross' sugges- tion and petition city council. to put a stop to the $10 pol! tax. SWAP BLOOD FOR PARKING TICKET, Oshawa and District Labor Council wants to pay park- ing tickets with blood. Patrick McCloskey, a Local 222 delegate to the council, suggested Tuesday night that. Red Cross offi- cials be contacted to see if some arrangement could be made. He suggested the Oshawa Police Commission and city council should also. be contacted. . However, Red Cross offi- cials will be contacted be- fore police are approached on the subject. Mr. McCloskey said the Red Cross is "crying for blood every month and. by paying parking tickets with a pint of blood would be a good method of making sure it got its quota every month." He added that after once or twice, a parking ticket offender may become used to being a blood donor and go every month.

Mr. Rutherford said NES of. ficals should be trying to expe- ite claims instead of spending so much time trying to elimin- ate claims. He charged that 'Diefen- baker and his gang stole four and a half million from the UIC fund and-now they are trying to replenish the fund by trying to eliminate claims." Two he cited were claims by married women and pensioners.

Malcolm Smith, president of Local 222, said mention should plaint to the slowness involved in getting claims back from the regional NES office in Toronto. Mr. Smith charged that claims are held up in Toronto tntil after the GM people are. back at work. In many instances he said, these claims are mislaid in Toronto, which means that workers have to go back to the GM pay office, get a com- plete new statement of the UIC contributions, then have to wait again until the claim has been japproved in Toronto.

Ross said the council's paper costs money and there was no sense in wast- ing it. Mr. Wilson said surely it doesn't take an act of parlia- ment to change the hours at the local NES office. He said some- one should be around the office until at least 6 p.m. and all that would have to be done to permit this would be to have William Rutherford, a Hou- daille Industries Ltd, unit some workers report two hours later in the morning. Labor Opposes Work For Relief Oshawa and District Labor Council will take a stand against welfare recipients working for their payment. Council delegates, Tuesday night concurred with a.
