OOD EA yeild ge THE OSHAWA BUILDER'S Association held its annual "Civic Night" at Hotel Gen- osha, Monday night, Guest Enthusiasm Said Mark oh le tig Quenya Oy as en ale tg eo speaker for the evening was Joe Connell, general secretary of the Kitchener - Waterloo YMCA. He is seen at centre flanked by Lou Pantaleo (right) president of the build- er's association, and Ald, Tom Of The Successful Man The mark of a successful per- son is enthusiasm, says Joseph Connell, general secretary of the Kitchener - Waterloo Young Men's Christian Association. He was speaking at the Oshawa Builders' Association's annual "civic night' Monday. "Nothing can be accomplished in life without it,"" he warned, "the essence of a genius is to ca' that enthusiasm from childhood all through the years. "Tt you have lost your enthusi- asm for your family, church or community, then you're nothing but a human vegetable," he said, "and life becomes a fool rather than full." Mr. Connell can't understand why all the fuss and worry about a nuclear war. CAUSES FOR WORRY "There are only two things to worry about. Either there will be a great big final Third World War or there won't be. And if there is, there are still only two things to worry about... whether you're killed or you're not, "And if you're killed there are still only two things to worry about. Whether you go up or you go down. And if you go down, you'll meet other builders there and have another conven- tion." He kept the audience captive and roaring throughout his ad- dress, bun had some _ serious words of advice mixed in with S puns, "If something new comes up in your business . . . whether you're 60, 70 or 80... if you look at it as a challenge, then you're still young." Mr, Connell told the s tory of CAMERA CLUB Members Give Club Program At the last Oshawa Camera Club meeting, two of the members supplied the pro- gram. , Bob Stroud gave a very in- teresting and instructive exposi. tion on Portraiture in color and an explanation of his methods. He illustrated these methods by projecting on the screen some very fine examples of his own work together with some, not quite satisfactory to him. The best way to gain knowl. edge in his line is to study reproductions of famous portrait painters -- backgrounds, color areas, the placing of the figure, and the suitability of costume and pose. A good portrait has simplicity and has captured some fleeting aspect of anima. tion, some feeling of life or of mood, One should not be over concerned with techniques but should not forget that the model is someone who thinks, talks, feels and lives. Ofen fill-in light helps a portrait taken in the out-of-doors, A dark back- ground is best for a light hair- ed model and a light back- ground for a dark haired model. The color of the background should not clash with costume or flesh tones. Sky-blue is recommended. The head should be above the centre and it is best to include enough body to May Strike Tax Rate This Week Oshawa City Council may strike the 1963 mill rate late this week. --_ Board of Edu- cation budget figures were re- ceived late Monday, according to Finance Chairman Walter Branch. Ald. Branch said his commit- fee and Mayor Lyman Gifford were to meet with the Board's finance committee this morn- ing "to familiarize ourselves with the budget contents." Ald. Branch denied that the of today's meeting was ask the Board to make fur- ther cuts. Th e Oshawa Times carried|¢) the board's budget figure Satur- day as $3,507,727.

He said these words will be inscribed on his tombstone when he dies, "you can do anything you want to and be anything you want to be, but wishing won't accomplish it." He told the builders, "in the next 40 years you will build more homes in Canada than have been built in the last 400 years." Mr. Connell was told by doc- tors in 1941 he would never walk again, "It wasn't a miracle I'm walking today," he said, "'it was merely a wrong diagnosis of my condition because I wouldn't ac- cept it. "You can never amount to anything if you think only of the things that are against you," he said, 'instead of saying it can't be done, try it.' Grandma Moses, who at the age of 80 refused to give up living, give support to the head. Seven things should be decided -- the character of the sitter, the pose, selection of costume, back- ground, arrangement of all lines to suit the model, the lighting and the expression of the model. The main light should be at a 45 degree angle to the side of the camera and 45 degrees above and the fill in light farth. er away and behind the cam- era on the side opposite. One should try to make it appear that there is only one light source, For the new Koda- crome film the fillan light should give only one quarter the amount of light as the main light, rather than one- half as was needed for the old Kodacrome film.

Close-ups of beautiful orchids and other wild flowers and beautiful but dead- ly mushrooms were fascinating as were the pictures of gulls at Point Pelee and the Kettle stones at Ketle Poin on Lake Huron. Among the pictures of peace- ful farms were views of historic houses -- a fine old log house still lived in, Barnum House, Mrs. Goddard's home in Graf- ton, the Stephen Leacock House at Orillia and the house on the National Stud farm in Oshawa.

Fixed Income' Tax Study Endorsed Rundle, representing His Wor- ship Mayor Lyman A, Gifford. --Oshawa Times Photo Is Approved Oshawa City Council okayed a slightly new, joint (city- county) Emergency Measures Organization Bylaw Monday night and added Ald. Cephas Gay to its five man city EMO committee. The county is expected to ap- prove a similar bylaw at its March session. The county, which voted last November to drop out of the |joint setup, adopted a special EMO committee report in Feb- ruary which recommended in part: 1) continuance of the joint EMO with Oshawa for a trial period of one year. 2) before next December, a full report and recommenda- tions. regarding the future of EMO, as far as the city is con- cerned, will be prepared for presentation to county council. In his report to city council Monday night, Ald, Gordon Attersley noted the bylaw is one, and to 4 Monday night to endorse a) Sarnia resolution asking the On-/ tarlo Minister of Public Welfare to study the problem of persons on fixed incomes in relation to rising municipal tax rates. The resolution called on the minister to devise an 'equitable policy of assistance for citizens who are victims of inflation and soaring costs of municipal serv- ices and education'. City taxes are spiralling, said the resolution, and persons on fixed incomes and those receiv- ing government _ allowances under a means test need addi- tional assistance. "If we exempt some," noted Mayor Lyman Gifford, "there is a loss that others will have to pick up." Said Ald. Cliff Pilkey: 'The government should subsidize The government shouldn't put it on the backs of the municipal- ity." Replied His Worship: "The municipality always get caught. We pay a certain percentage, plus administration costs. I sub- mit we can't stand it." Ald. Walter Branch, who moved that the city back the resolution: 'It simply calls for study; I think it is most impor- tant." "Instead of studying it," re- torted Ald. Pilkey, "'we should ask the Minister to do some- thing. Those on fixed incomes are in a real predicament. "A study? It would only gather dust in some pigeon hole. We should recognize that there is a problem."

The Department plans to widen the stretch between Osh- awa and Whitby to four lanes in two years and wanted the city's assurance that the four- lane-width would be continued as far as Stevenson road, When Mr. Crome said there were no cost estimates avail- able now, Ald. Finley Dafoe accused council of approving something for which they did not even know the cost. "We should have this informa- tion on a major expenditure like this," argued Ald. Dafoe. "It is not in our five year plan. What are we going to drop?" he asked Mr. Crome. Mayor Lyman Gifford noted that Ald.
