The Oshawa Kiwanis Club, however, in their 1ith annual Radio Auction raised about $4,000 in less than six hours Wednesday. The members put a vast communications network to work for them that would cover @n area as far as _ telephone wires and radio waves would Teach. "This will get us a long way towards meeting our 1963 com- mitments," said Oshawa Ki- wanis President Murray Sparkes, happily announcing the final figure after the last bid had come in at the telephone room in Hotel Genosha. MUCH HARD WORK To say the Kiwanis did not put any effort into this giant under- taking would be grossly unfair. Just ask Murray Maidlow, auc- chairman, Jack Moore, who, assisted by Reg Smith and many others, put in most of the groundwork to get the whole show on the road. And, although Mr. Maidlow described the frantic hours be- tween 6.30 p.m. and midnight as 'just fun', the hundred Kiwan- ians who answered telephones, entered bids on slips of paper, lists and blackboards, calcu- lated totals and read off names of successful bidders, all had their hands full. An approximate total of $6,900 worth of merchandise was sold for over 70 per cent of its orig- inal value, a figure that com- pared favorably with former years. Every one of the items was a donation from merchants of the Oshawa area, and also from further-away places as To- ronto and even London. 462 ITEMS SOLD "We sold every one of the 462 items on the list," said Mr. Sparkes, who was in charge of the recording of bids. Items ranging in value be- tween $2.98 for a television rab- bit ears aerial and $98.50 for a portable typewriter were listed tion chairman, and his vice- in The Oshawa Times. Bids were telephoned in to any of the 20 telephone operators, who, under the direction of Ray Weeks, answered a constant jingle throughout the evening. The bids they took down were chalked on a board, which show- ed the highest bid at any time. All bids on any one item were collected and after closing off sales on a particular group the i bids were announced over CKLB radio, directly from the hotel, where Frank Taylor wielded the sceptre in the radio room. TO NOTIFY BUYERS Successful bidders, besides be- ing announced over the radio, will also receive a postcard, armed with which they can go and collect and pay for the items purchased. Although most items were sold for less than their value there were instances where the purchaser paid more. There were reports of some stiff battles for some of the more de- sirable articles by some of the ladies in town. The fact that a successful bidder will partici- pate in a draw for a portable dishwasher might have had something to do with that. The draw will be April 23. ope yi ert ae! ll A Alia os!

Miss Barbara-May, 352 Buena Vista avenue, took three pack- ages of meat valued at 29 cents To Burn Mortgage On Church Sunday will be a special day at the Simcoe Street Pentecos- tal Church, for it will witness the burning of the church mort- gage. It was early in the year 1941/fi when plans were first formu- lated to build a permanent church under the leadership of the present pastor, Rev. R. A. Bombay. About $275 had been donated previously, but no de- finite plan had been made nor had any property been secured. Up to that time the Congrega- tion had worshipped in rented quarters. A system of monthly pledges was inaugurated and has been the main source of income for building purposes, from time to time special gifts were received as well. It has been the faithful and voluntary giv- ing of the members and ad- herents that has made it possible to clear the indebted- ness. Announcing the special ser- vice to the congregation last Sunday, Pastor Bombay said, "We have never failed to meet a principal or interest payment, nor have we had to make any special pleas for money at the due dates. Through tithing and offerings there has always been 'meat in God's house'." He also reminded the -hearers that there had been no letup in issi y giving and that the each and a can 0 worth 29 cents from a Loblaw's |store the court was told by Det. |Sgt. J. D.
