(CP Wirephoto) Brotherhood Talk Heard Mrs. Paisley Glen spoke at the McLaughlin Library Thurs- day evening on the subject of "Brotherhood". Mrs. Glen said "Religion has developed through many concepts of God, ever developing towards one goal, to manifest the oneness of God and the oneness of man- kind." '"'Unless man has a very strong belief he cannot run his own life, life runs him." Mrs. Glen stated "That Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, declared that He was the fulfillment of the prophesies in the messages of the past, that He was the Prom- ised One as written in all the Holy Books."' "'Baha'u'llah"' she quoted "said that if any one puts their Prophet above an- other he is not being faithful to the tenets of his own Faith." The speaker said hat Baha' a'llah wrote over 100 books and tablets to set the pattern for a ' DINNER SPEAKER Ald.

An international language as @ supplement to one's mother tongue should be universally adopted. Mrs. Glen said "That if we had a common language we would find that no matter where we travelled in the world, and conversed with people we would find a common bond and that basically we all have the same ideals, thoughts and conceptions and that the Brotherhood of Man really exists."

Expansion Of Hockey Predicted Bob Pulford, a centre player of the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club, told the Oshawa Kinsmen Club and its guests, 'Thursday night, that, in his opinion, rage professional| ly league, equivalent to the nated NHL, will be formed within the next five to 10 years. Mr. Pulford was speaking at the regular meeting of the Club at the Kinsmen Communiy Centre. He also stated that the minimum salary of NHL play- ers was now around $8,000 and that the average player could make $12,500. In addition, the pension plan provides substantial benefits to those players in the league for more than three years, and a Nurses Stage Own Show Student nurses swapped caps and gowns for two hours Fri- day night, for the grease paint She Oshawa Times and costumes of show business.

Applause was heard frequent- ly from the audience of 600 at O'Neill Collegiate auditorium, and at one point almost stopped the show. Show producer, Ena Robbins, | said almost 100 students from the school took part 'in the show, either as singers, actors, dancers, or in the not so glam- orous stagehands, lighting and ushering departments.

From this, it certainly follows that it is very advantageous for young men to enter the hockey profession today. Television also has aided the spread of hockey in the Unit- ed States, said Mr. Pulford. It is only a matter of time before Los Angeles and San Francisco will support major league hock- ey stadiums. The extra reven- ue from television receipts will more than cover the _ initial small crowds. All the. Kinsmen and their guests were glad to hear that the Maple Leafs have an ex- cellent chance to win the Stan- ley Cup this year. However, maybe their honored guest was slightly prejudiced! W. R. Bobig introduced the guest speaker and Bill Arm- strong thanked him. Another guest, Ted Jones, en- tertained the group, during the dinner hour, with a variety of piano selections. A past presi- dert 2f the club, Monty Cran- field, won the draw for the evening.

Ebbs re- served his decision Friday in a bylaw case until April 26. Mrs. Mary Dobko, 534 Eula- lie avenue, is charged with oper- ating a beauty shop without a licence. The court was told by Miss Evelyn Found, deputy city clerk, that there was no record of any licence issued for Mrs. Dobko's premises. Mrs. Dobko told the court she had lived on Eulalie avenue for the past 10 years and had oper- ated a beauty shop at 318 Bloor street east. She said she gave up the Bloor street shop some time ago, but had a licence to oper- ate it for 1962. When she moved the business to Eulalie in 1957, she made an applica- tion for a licence, but it was turned down because of the proposed zoning bylaw, estab- lishing the area as residential. Later, she said, an assessor came and measured her busi- ness premises and told her: "It's all right to operate." Mrs. Dobko and her hus- band both said they had been paying business tax on the premises since 1957. THREE REMANDED Magistrate F. S. Ebbs dealt with three charges of contribut- ing to juvenile de! Fri- day, and remanded all accus- ed. He remanded Ross Alexan- der Dobbs, 20, Markham, for four weeks in care of the Sal- vation Army House of Concord.

(CP Wirephoto) Fine Youth $100 For False Alarm A false fire alarm cost a 19- year-old Oshawa youth $100 and costs or one month Monday. Benny Vanderkuik, 140 Bond street west, had pleaded guilty to the charge, and was given two weeks to pay the fine. The court was told Sgt. Jon Jenkins saw fire trucks racing to a fire box at Eulalie avenue and Park street about 10.45 p.m. Feb. 4. After being told the alarm was false, Vanderkuik, who was seen by Sergeant Jenkins running from the alarm box, was picked up. Magistrate F. S, Ebbs told the youth: "This is a very seri- ous matter when you do some- thing like this." He said Vanderkuik had en. dangered the lives of not only the fire fighters speeding, so they thought to a blaze, but of drivers of other vehicles on the streets. By DOROTHY M. VAN LUVEN That Henry House, our local museum, has much of interest to offer besides the exhibits dis- played in the various rooms, is revealed to anyone who hag,suf- ficient curiosity to delve into the archives. A most interesting forage, for instance, may be made into some of the old min- ute books of a society formed in Oshawa in 1849 known as the Sons of Temperance. The Oshawa "Division", as it was called, evidently was part of a large movement organized to promote the cause of tem- perance, a movement which at that time spread over the great- er part of eastern and central Canada and the United States. Charter members include such well known Oshawa names as Annis, Conant, Farewell, Sykes, Mark Terwilligar. By 1891 were included the names Holland, Lander, Hezzlewood, Hall, Ked- die, Bale, Edmondson, Pascoe, etc. WOMEN RECOGNIZED For the first few years mem- bership was limited to men only. Eventually, however, of neces- sity the distaff side was recog- nized as is apparent from an entry in 1856. This notes that ladies were admitted as visitors thus giving "fresh impetus, pre- vious to which Division very low and came nigh breaking up"'. By 1873 ladies were allowed full membership. They must, though, have been proposed as fit and proper persons and must have been 'reported upon favorably by the usual commit- tee appointed to investigate these propositions'. FENCE REPAIRED The Sons of Temperance Hall was situated on the west side of Simcoe street where Ruther- ford's Furniture Store now stards Evidently the property connected that of Dr. Belt on John street, since one item of new business a secretary re- ported was that "Brother Hall brought up the question of fix- ing the north part of the west- ern fence of our grounds". He had contacted Dr. Belt, who offered to furnish the lumber if the Divisior! would do the work. The hall also was used by out- siders as evidenced by the item "Miss Maxwell, music teacher, asked for use of hall and piano free to enable her to give a music recital to her pupils' par-| |S ents". Moreover the Oshawa School Board faced even in those days with the problem of finding increased accommoda- tion, asked to rent the lower part of the hall. The rental pro- posed to them was '$50 per year plus half the taxes'. Ap- parently the school shortage was likely to continue indefinite- ly as the offer was "from three to five years", PROGRAM FEATURES Meetings of the Sons of Tem- perance consisted of programs of songs, readings, recitations, an occasional debate and, above} all, speeches. Sometimes these were not too well planned in advance seemingly. In 1878 a secretary reports a "ten minute intermission to get up a pro- gram", That '"'a large and. in- teresting program then took place" appears almost incred- ible. The fact that 'no receipts" was the final item is perhaps not too astonishing. Frequently Divisions from Harmony, Solina, Taunton and Bowmanville jo'ned forces with Oshawa. Normally the meetings took place during the week. On one occasion the propriety of holding a meeting on Sunday was discussed, Finally it was decided to do so and any objec- tion seems to have been guard- ed against by the fact that "the ministers of the town were ask- ed to speak". BRILLIANT SPEAKER The most distinguished mem- ber of the Oshawa Division was Mr. Edward Carswell, a brilliant speaker. Mr. Carswell was in great demand, not only in east- ern Canada but in the United States. The Archives contain many clippings testifying to his popularity. In 1871 a newspaper 'n New Hampshire refers to him as the "Canadian Temperance Orator" who was received 'with great enthusiasm". In December of the previous year from Lockport, New York, he is described as "an eloquent and able gentleman" whose speech was 'not a dry, statis- tical lecture, but a stirring ap- peal full of amusement"'. At times his eliquence was recognized by tangible reward. According to a faded newspaper clipping 'Carswell for some weeks has been lecturing in North and in South Carolina and has carried all before him'. By the Daily News of Raleigh we see that at the colossal lecture Keith Bi issel Is Speaker An entertaining and interest- ing evening was enjoyed by members of the Oshawa and District Centre, Royal Cana- dian College of Organists this week when Keith Bissell, chief Supervisor of Music for Scar- borough Elementary Schools, addressed them on Carl Orff's "Music for Children'. Mr. Bissell can speak with this method of authority on is music education since he stud. ied it in Germany under Dr. Orff on a grant from the Can. ada Council. He has been using it for four years in his schools and has established it in 50 schools in the Scarborough area. Musicians in Oshawa are interested in his results since supervisors here have started two classes using Orff teaching and instruments. Mr. Bissell told his audience how Dr. Orff, a renowned com- with a magnificent gold headed cane as a testimonial in appre- ciation of his labors". "THE CASKET" The literary mouthpiece of the Sons of Temperance was a mag- azine known by the somewhat dubious title "'The Casket'. One of the earliest editors was Mr. A. E. Annis. His tenure of duty appears to have been reason- ably serene. Not so was the case} of a subsequent editor. The min- utes of April 13; 1891, claim that "owing to pressure of circum- stances he had not obtained his usual slumbers and on the eve The Casket should have ap- REPORT GRANTS TO HOSPITALS Hon. M. B. Dymond, On- tario Minister of -Health, has announced a_ capital construction grant in the amount of $6,206.67 to the Bowmanville Memorial Hos- pital. In addition progress pay- ments were made to the Bowmanville Memorial Hos- pital and the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital on grants already authorized and pre- viously reported. The Bow- manville institution receives $10,631.67 and the Oshawa hospital $139,756.67. peared was peacefully resting in the Land of Nod". How different was the Oshawa of "&~cefttury ago may be de- duced further by many refer- ences in the Minute Book. For example final arrangements for transportation to a meeting of the Grand Division in Port Perry had to wait until it was ascertained "when connections could be made with trains". On another occasion, the Divi- sion having planned an evening meeting at Maple Grove, it was announced that "the loads would start from the Hall at 30", It is to F. O, Kirby, Warren avenue, that we are indebted for the donation of these rec- ords. In his ~-rlier life Mr. Kirby was an enthusiastic mem- ber of the Sons of Temperance. The Archives at Henry House Museum are under the super- vision of Miss Rose Hawkes. They are available to the pub- lic at any time the Museum is open, or by special request. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays this weekend. Those who celebrate to- day are: Gerry Vandersan- den, 54 Aberdeen; Susan Patte, RR 2, Oshawa. Those who celebrate on Sunday are: Mrs. Jack Ad- ams, 312 Eulalie; Lennard Bowler, RR 4, Townline South. in that city he was "pr ited poser, became interesting in evolving a system of teaching music to children, based on an approach through rhythm and speech, He decided that music should grow in children as it once did in history, that rhythm and melody should be thorough- ly absorbed before harmony. In keeping with the historic de-' velopment of music, he decided to have children use the old pentatonic scale with only five tones. He rejected the piano as being too sophisticated and complicated an instrument for children to begin on, and built his own instruments based on primitive instruments. Thus children quite easily master his zylophones, metallophones, glockenspeils, gamgas and per- Rare Birds Reported In District A film entitled "Pure Water -- the best of gifts" will be ~ shown at the meeting of the Oshawa Naturalists' Club on Monday, Feb. 25, in the Chil- dren's Section of the McLaugh- lin Library. A discussion will follow the showing of this film on water pollution. George Scott, ornithologist, re. ~ ports the following winter bird « rarities that have been seen in the Oshawa area: vm A Harris' Sparrow, one of ~ the rarest sparrows to be found in this area, was observed at a feeder on Town Line North, east of Oshawa, early in Janu- ary. This sparrow breeds in North Central Canada and win- ters in the Mississippi Valley. Another rarity at the same feeder is the Montana. Junco, which is still in the area. A Mockingbird has been spending the winter at a pri- vate feeder in Whitby. It feeds on rose hips from a multiflora rose hedge. On Dec, 9 an im- mature Snow Owl was seen along Beaton's Cove shore, and a solitary Dunlin was trying to feed along the ice-covered shore. line. On Dec. 23 an Arctic Three- toed Woodpecker was seen along the Base Line road, west - of Duffin's Creek. There have been several hawk owls observed in Oshawa and other parts of Southern On. tario this fall and winter. Mr.~ Scott states that this is the first © time he has observed these birds ge area in a 20-year per- iod. Those who have been wonder- ing where the Evening Gros. beaks are this winter will be happy to know that there were two observed on Alexandra street on Jan. 21, and a flock of 25 were observed about the same time in Bowmanville. School Boards Watch Appeal a TORONTO (CP) --Metropoli- tan Toronto and suburban Scar- borough boards of education are considering a test appeal against a county court judg- ment which handed a Scarbor- ough realtor a $200 assessment cut, J. E. A, Harlow appealed his cussion instr and delight in the participation afforded them, They are encouraged to improvise rhythms, melodies and harmonies, thus developing their creative faculties. Mr. Bissell pointed out that children who have had Orff training are now moving m to legitimate instruments and are the most enthusiastic and gifted musically in his schools. Dr, Orff's material for the singing program is based on European folksongs and Mr. Bissell is just completing a book of North American folk- songs arranged for children 'o use on this continent. He tried|*° out several of these on the or- ganists, having some of them play the Orff instruments and the remainder sing. The group were delighted with the unique and charming effect obtained. Mr. Bissell was thanked by Alan Reesor and introduced by Mrs. George Drynan a t whose home the meeting was held. ment on the ground that his daughter Heather, 16, was required to attend a school that was not the closest to his home. He said the county court judge had agreed that 20 cents a day for bus fares amounted to an increase in his taxes and granted the assessment reduc. tion, equivalent to about a $10. to-$12 tax saving. Metropolitan Toronto school board asked its solicitor Friday to examine the case with a view to possible appeal after it was told Scarborough board of edu- cation will probably contest the reduction. W. J. McCordic, executive- secretary of the Metropolitan board, said most Ontario boards of education will probably be in- terested in appealing the county court decision. "This is a pretty fundamen- tal issue which none of the boards would want to let pass," he said. HEAD PROVINCIAL DAILIES W. J.
