\ 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, September 26, 1962 GOOD E By JACK VENING GEARIN MORE THAN 500 TO MARCH WITH SHRINERS Speaking of big and colorful parades for Oshawa. No sooner has last Saturday's big show been entered in the record book -- the Canadian Corps' mammoth parade and drumhead service -- than the decks are cleared for another program of equal importance. This will be next Saturday's Shrine parade to be staged here by Rameses Temple under the auspices of the Oshawa Shrine Club (founded in 1931) -- this parade will kick off from Alexandra Park at 2 p.m. and proceed down Simcoe street to Memorial Park, where Col, R. S. McLaughlin will be presented with a special certificate to mark his 60-year membership in the Shrine. More than 500 Ontario Shriners (from such onto, Hamilton, Ottawa and Oshawa) will parade. points as Tor- There will be many special attractions, including a miniature street car and antiquated fire engine (purchased recently by the Oshawa Club). SAD SAGA OF A TAME CROW NAMED "BLACKIE" : A tame Crow with a red footband that answers to the name of "Blackie" has the neighborhood in quite a tizzy on Riverside drive north, and little wonder ! Not only does he steal clothespins from the yards and small toys from chil- dren's playpens, he has another bad habit -- he pecks away nonchalantly at biscuits in babies' hands and stands dangerously close to their eyes as if ready to peck at them, Mothers of infants are up in arms. They insist that "Blackie" should be per- manently removed from the neighborhood, but their pleas have pretty well fallen on deaf ears "Blackie" has appeared daily since last Wednesday, sometimes with a second tame Crow (that .is not banded). Mrs. Marvin Walker of 159 Riverside drive north is leading the Let's-Get-Rid-of- "Blackie" movement. She says the Crow is "over- friendly" with Barbara Ann, her 15-month-old daughter, constantly moves too close to the child's eyes. Last Saturday "Blackie" | followed Mrs. Walker for two blocks as she carried Bar- bara Ann (biscuit in hand), ' constantly flying around her Said Mrs. Walker: head and pecking away at the biscuit. "The walk eventually became a terrifying experience. The Crow refused to leave me. Finally I ran into a neigh- bor's house, I'm afraid to leave Barbara Ann alone in her playpen. Several neighbors feel the same about their chil- dren, He is attracted by my daughter's big blue eyes." The Walkers called City Police who referred them to the City Dog Pound. A Pound spokesman was sympathetic, ad- mitted that "Blackie" was the as a nuisance in various parts same banded Crow reported of the City since last Spring (especially in the Cadillac avenue area where he made far too much noise). They would come up and take him away if someone else captured him. An appeal to City Alderman Gordon Attersley (the kindly ornothologist and animal lover), produced better results -- not only did he call around personally to see the Walkers and appraise the situation, he also sent a man who is regard- ed as somewhat of an authority on such subjects, Ed Kroll, chairman of the City's Wildlife Advisory Council. Mr. Kroll does not think that there is too much to get excited about as crows are usually mischievious and attract- ed by loud colors (such as Barbara Ann usually wears). He agrees that the bird could be "big blue eyes'. attracted by Barbara Ann's Meanwhile, several residents are in a quandary as to how they should rid their area of "Blackie", who has cer- tainly outlived his popularity. KIN CLUB HAS DISTINGUISHED VISITOR Piet Nel of Klerksdorp, South Africa, visited Oshawa last Sunday. He is treasurer of the World Council of Young Men's Service Clubs and past chairman of the Round Tables of Southern Africa (a group similar to the Association of Kins- men Clubs in ada). He was entertained here by President Arthur C. Stone of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club and Hans Haagmans, local Kinsmen Club World Coun- cil representative. Mr. Nel is in Canada as a guest of the Kinsmen Club and is on a trans-Canada speaking tour prior to "at- tending the World Council Conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, next month. One of the aims of the World Council is "the fur- therance of understanding and tolerance in internation- al relations."

"You want me to believe that?" inquired the commis- sioner. "Yes, I think you should," McDermott replied. "Well, I'll tell you I do not,' the commissioner said. "That's your prerogative," McDermott shrugged.

Killing Of Canada Geese SUDBURY -(CP)--Lands and Forests Minister Wilfred Spooner said Tuesday he 'in- tends to do something about the illegal slaughter of Canada geese in the southern United States if he can get proof. Thousands of the migratory geese are reported to be ille- gally killed each year in Loui- siana and Mississippi. Mr. Spooner said in an inter- view if proof is submitted to him he is prepared to take the mat- ter up with federal and U.S, au- thorities. Canadian conservation clubs complain the illegal killers go out at night in motorboats and race along the edges of lakes and rivers, causing the birds to take to the air.

McDermott. was still under examination when the hearing adjourned until today and he re- joined his partner in the Don Jail here, where they await the outcome of an appeal from a conviction last March on a charge of conspiring to obtain gambling raid information from police. LOOKS SPRIGHTLY Though fresh from the cells, the partly bald McDermott was dapper in a_ conservative checked grey suit and matching law (he is a noted curbstone lawyer), the Canadian heritage (every citizen has a fundamen- tal right to gamble), his phil- osophy (if gambling is your business, don't gamble), his mining business (he and Fee- ley face $25,000 stock fraud charges), "Everybody," he advised the commissioner at one point, "'has different ideas of right wrong. Don't you?" : Mr. Justice Roach, a member of the Ontario Court of Appeal, just looked back frostily.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Old Boy By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer People are beginning to ask whether the concept of a Com- monwealth cabinet is slowly giving way to that of a Com- monwealth Parliament. This is one of the question marks in the wake of the recent London conference of Common- wealth prime ministers, which was characterized by some sif- nificant, if largely unacknowl- edged, changes in the transac- tion of family business. Until recently, the Common- wealth has -been something of an old boys club, or alumni as- sociation, and the meetings of prime ministers have been con- ducted behind closed doors, with all the cosy privacy of a British cabinet meeting.

SITE SHIFTED To accommodate the expand- ing Commonwealth, the London meeting place of prime minis- ters has been shifted from the poky little cabinet room in 10 Downing Street, which barely holds two dozen people, to the enormous council chamber in Marlborough House, which can take at least 100 without over- crowding. Prime Minister Diefenbaker of Canada once remarked on the strange magic of "that little room" in Downing Street, In view of what happened at Marl- borough House, he may have' good reason for nostalgia. In the larger, more opulent setting, the character of the meetings underwent a_ subtle change. There were fewer ex- changes of opinion and a greater number of speeches pre-' pared in advance; some dele- gations issued texts of their spokesmen's remarks.

Extent of the cut, part of the government's wide-ranging aus. terity program to bolster Can- ada's own economy, could not be determined. ° However, several weeks ago officials expressed hope that any decrease decided upon would have no appreciable ef- fect on the over-all Canadian as-' sistance program. The Colombo plan is the larg. est component in Canada's for- eign aid program. It has been taking $50,000,000 of the approx- imately $60,000,000 total yearly outlay.

Barring an early upset of Prime Minister Diefenbaker's minority government, Parlia- ment will be called upon to tackle a series of complex and far-reaching legislative meas- ures aimed at implementing some of the basic ideas of the royal commission report, the source says. Indications are that a clue to the government's plans to re- solve the financial plight of the big railways will be given in the throne speech Thursday.
