Woman Gives $1,000 To Auditorium Some people don't like oth- ers to read their mail. Civic Auditorium finance Campaign Chariman Terry Kelly wants everyone to read the following letter which he received today, and which he claims is "'typical" of hundreds being received in the course of the campaign. (Perhaps not typical as to amount, but certainly the let- typifies the spirit citizens are showing, whatever their ability to give, assures Mr. Kelly). : : "Dear Sir: May I have the pleasure of matching Don Jack- son's donation? (Note -- that was $1000). The Auditorium is an excellent project and I wish it every success. I hope the citizens will appreciate it and treat it with care and respect." The letter was signed by Ada Hutcheson, 29, Cadillac avenue south. "Completely -- unsolicited," said Mr. Kelly today. He allow- ed as how mail like this warms the cockles of his Hi- bernian heart. "This pushes us up to $547,- 000," informed the smiling fi- nance chairman. "While we still have a long way to go, do- nations like this provide a ter- rific stimulus to the campaign." SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1963 Suggest Prison Camp Skipping Husbands A prison camp for deserting husbands and sex instruction in Ontario's schools were among the suggestions voiced at an Oshawa Convention Monday. The radical proposals were outlined at the 13th Annual Con- vention of the Welfare Section of the Ontario Municipal Asso- ciation meeting at the Hotel Genosha. Reginald Tucker, welfare al- lowance officer and member of a special department set up to deal with the problem of desert- ing husbands, outlined the work of the new department to the delegates. Mr. Tucker said that it was not a special police force although the staff have been re- ferred to as "hubby-hunters", ULTERIOR MOTIVE SEEN He said his job was to see the deserting husband provided for his family either by voluntary payments or through court ac- tion. Many of the cases brought to the attention of the depart- ment, he said, were desertions of convenience whereby the wife could collect welfare while her husband worked elsewhere. Chairman Joseph Vernon of East York said that the new de- t should have the powers to search for, find, pros- ecute and supervise probation of deserters John Erickson of the Fort Frances, Rainy River area sug- gested that the offenders be placed in a prison camp in the north country. "Give them six months and a year if they re- peat," he stated, 'the remarks made by a magistrate are like water off a duck's back." Secretary James _ Silvester said that a slave camp was not even considered, "pre-marital counselling should be consider- ed,' he stated. Mr. Silvester said that the two main causes of desertion were alcoholism and a lack of sex harmony. LAW OBSOLETE Mrs. W. Gazan, of Long Branch, said that obsolete Cana- dian law forbids any advice about birth control to be dis- tributed, She stated "'it would be fa desirable if the educational sys- tem would include teaching on the responsibility on the raising of families." "It would be a help if prob- lem families did not keep on having children," Mrs. Gazan commented. She told the dele- gates that too much debt among had to support more than one family started by one man. Mrs. Gladys Rolling, of the Township of East Gwillimbury, raised some laughter and ap- plause when she admitted that some women were not easy to live with. Mrs. Rolling said that she saw one solution to the de- sertion problem in Sweden last year. The deserting husband is sent to a treatment centre where he is made to work Mrs, Rolling explained, after a time he is given pocket money and, in due course, begins to support his mily. The Swedish authorities then teach the offender .a trade, she continued. Mrs, Rolling said that a basic fault in Canada was that these men are from a low education group. "We will have to train them," she said, "and ag change their way of think- ing." the poorly educated p was to blame for much of 'the trouble. Mrs. Gazan told the conven- tion that the Federal Govern- ment should place restrictions on the finance companies, dele- gates applauded her suggestion. COMMON LAW MARRIAGE Chairman Vernon said that another problem for the welfare administrator was the common law marriage. He pointed out that there was no legal obliga- tion for a man to support a common law wife and family and frequently municipalities Many Visitors In Museum The glitter of old glass, the chime of an eighteenth century clock and the prevailing charm of another age-already this sea- son have attracted to the Henry House Museum many guest not only from Oshawa and its en- virons but from other countries and continents as well. From Clinton have come rep- resentatives of the RCAF, Sim- coe, Kitchener, London and To- ronto have been represented. Signatures from Cornerbrook and. Willowdale, Newfoundland, also appear in the register. However, it is when one finds the names of visitors from Cal- ifornia, from England and from Germany, and even more dis- tant Argentina that one realizes how our Museum is exténding its influence.

Mr. Drew said that geria- tric centres were being devel- oped in the province to study the aged and their problems and a program of aged care was being established. Dr. C. K. Stuart, director of the geriatric study centre in Toronto, said that old people need activity for both mind and body.

' ia Principal Cites r) * School Problems : 'I believe our schools are for all and the pupils are deserving of the best the teachers can give them', declared Angus Di- xon, principal of O'Neill Col- legiate and Vocational Instite, in a classification address at the Monday meeting of the Ro. tary Club of Oshawa. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian Stanley E. Lovell. The aprreciation of the mem- bers and their guests was voi- ced by President Fay Brooks. Speaking on the problems of being a principal, Rotarian Dix- on said one of the big problems is seeing that good teachers are secured to replace those who are retiring and those going to other jobs. In seeking new tea- chers personality, scholarship and teaching potential are the attributes sought. NEED 2000 TEACHERS He said that even though 400 teachers are graduating in To- ronto this spring 2,000 are need. ed to fill existing vacancies ac- ross the province. Toronto alone needs 205 teachers and Scar- boro 165. One factor entering into the shortage of teachers is that secondary schools are in need of specialists who are also being sought by industry. Draw Winners At Storie Park It was announced at the June meeting of the Storie Park Neighborhood Association that Miss MacLean, 504 McLeod street, Ottawa, won the quilt in the opening day draw. Mrs. Archie Black, 66 Second street, Oshawa, won a basket of gro- ceries, Vice-president Peter Muzik chaired the meeting. - It was agreed to purchase sweaters for 'the atom ball team, It was stated the last teenage dance of the season will be held in the clubhouse Friday, June 14. Due to.illness, Mrs, George Bell tendered her resignation as president of the association. Mrs. Bell is progressing favor- ably in the Toronto Western jospital.. Another problem confronting a principal is that of a staff members. Last year A Dixon hired 19 new teachers and this year had to hire f more. * Today he said the new teach- ers are almost all fresh out of university. Most of them were born in the 1940's, He felt there would not be an adequate sup. ply of teachers for the next se- ven years. On the completion of their universityocourse, the prospective teachers must take an eight-week summer course and another summer course at the end of their fitst year of teaching. : THORNY PROBLEM One of the thorny problems, it was pointed out, is the teacher who will not or cannot do a good job. It was not fair to the pupils to retain those who do not love their profession and are not pre- pared to do a profeesional job. Mr. Dixon 'felt that in casés of a clash of personality bet. ween the teacher and the stud- ent, the student should undér. stand he should go along the teacher as part of the grow. ing up process. If all teachers were perfect the student will be ill prepared for the life ahead, It was. noted that the Oshawa school population had doubled since the Second World War. In this regard the speaker paid tribute to the members of the board of education for their devotion to duty and its werk : improve educational condi- ons. DEMOCRATIC VALUES While schools were designed to promote intelligence, Mr. Di- xon felt they are also a training ground to inculcate democratic values. For that reason. the board and the teachers must do their best to meet the needs of our young people. Each stt- dent must be challenged to do his or her best. The speaker had words Of praise for the OCVI student body, saying they were a group of ladies and gentlemen and that the school was no 'black. board jungle'. Discipline rathér than authoritarianism was the basis of his operation of the school.
