Mayor Lyman Gifford bought the first bars Wednesday and opened the drive to raise funds to send 60 patrolers to the Na- tional Safety Patrol Jamboree! in Ottawa, May 10 and 11, and for a giant picnic to be held for some 800 patrolers at the end of the school year. The sale is endorsed by the Oshawa Safety League, the Po- lice Commission, the Board of Education and the Separate School Board. Chocolate bars are distributed to the patrolers in the schools. The trip to Ottawa is regarded as a reward for the work pa- trolers do throughout the year and delegates are chosen on merit, Likewise, the picnic plan- ned this year is a form of ap- preciation of the citizens of the city for the performance of the safety patrol. a cold, the whole body is cold," he explained. the clogs before going ind he is free to go about his He said, he doesn't care if he|ness in comfort. looks conspicuous with his "Wooden shoes might last Dutch shoes, his comfort is the|the wearer for as long as a year main thing.
