Mr. Band said that trained so- cial workers were needed to facilitate welfare programs and that as a result a method of providing bursaries to students in Schools of Social Work had been devised..

COUNTY OFFICIAL SPEAK S William Manning, clerk-treas- urer of Ontario County, said that some welfare problems fall upon the shoulders of the county clerk and that he was aware that the county does not do enough in the welfare field. He said that Ontario County did provide a home for the aged, in accordance with legis- lation, support of the Children's 'Aid Society and indigent hospi- talization. Mr. Manning added that these services were avail- able to the 75,000 people in the county. He stated that this was essen-| tario County. He pointed out! "However, there is no ma- chinery for welfare investiga- tion at the county level," he re- marked. Mr. Manning told the delegates that Ontario County Council tried to standardize treatment indigent last year but received a different suggestion from each welfare administrator in the eighteen municipalities.

'City Council has know- ledge of the work done by all these organizations and others," he said. President of the Ontario Tu- berculosis Association, F.

"You must take up a stand with the world or three million people will die." he was referring to the number of deaths caused each year by TB. "The world will look to you and others like you for the leader- ship which you can give." Complimenting. the associa- cess during the past year was Dr. C. H.

That was one of the reasons why the parades had been terminated. LESS ENTHUSIASM The secretary treasurer, Keith Ross, said it was obvious tliat the enthusiasm there used to be for Labor Day parades, with such attractions as prizes for the best floats and so on, had gradually diminished - over the years. At one time it was somewhere for the people to go, but now that they had cars and owned their own cottages and boats, they did not stay in town and did not want to march in a Labor Day parade. A tremendous amount of money and work was involved in making Labor Day a success and he felt that something of a different nature from a parade should be held, William Rutherford, a dele. gate of Local 222, UAW, recall- ed that at one time there used to be a parade to the lake, but sometimes it was so cold there that they could not get anyone to turn out and see it. At other times parades were held to Al- exandra Park, where bicycle races were included in the pro- BANDSMEN AL. COOPER Trombone Solo -- decided Tuesday night.

Other delegates suggested that Oshawa and district trade union members might go to Toronto to take part in the an- nual parade there. Mr. Rutherford, however, thought that when the new civic centre was built, they could hold track and field events fect three months after a per- son went on relief. "Here, in Oshawa," he stated, "we have dead beats we would like to see working. However the great ma- jority of men on relief want to work and cannot find it, I think the situation would lead to abuse."' Wyn Hilts of London said, '1 do not want to see us go back to the hungry thirties when peo- ple had to work for welfare. This resolution would take care of some of the problem cases but would cause problems for' those who are on relief through no fault of their own." "In a small municipality like Ajax,"" said Eleanor Armstrong, "we would not like to burden our works department with men who would not give an hours work for an hours pay," Ramon Lapointe of Charlottenburg told the convention, "we are all in favor of the resolution, especial- ly in our municipality where there are no unions." Albert Jones, of Cape Crock- er, said that lots of people would like to work out their welfare payments, He added that lots of manpower was be- ing wasted at present. Secretary James Silvester, York T hip, urged deleg: to use some, 'horse sense', » of received, C. V. Smith, of Scarborough, pointed out that existing legis- lation provided that a welfare recipient, who @fused work al- though fully employable, could be disqualified for relief. The resolution was carried when put to the vote. RESOLUTION DEFEATED The convention turned down a resolution, sponsored by the Township of Charlottenburgh, which asked that the federal and provincial governments provide the necessary work pro- grams for those on relief. "More and more people are capable of working are becom: ing reconciled to dependence on Government beneficence," the resolution read. It also read that cleaning up of river banks, landscaping or highways, cut- ting of brush and other worth- while schemes could be pro- vided. The township also mentioned that people who are able to work are happier if employed and are more easily assimil- ated into the labor force than if left on welfare. The resolution committee reje the resolu- tion saying that the Crystal Beach resolution covered the situation without involving gov- ernment bodies, Favors Uniting Welfare Efforts A commission to unite wel- fare efforts across Canada was advocated Tuesday night by for- mer Labor Minister Michael Starr at the 13th Annual Con- vention of the Welfare Officers' Association at Hotel Genosha. Speaking at the Association dinner, Mr. Starr said that the federal and provincial govern- ments made their own contribu- tion to welfare administration. He stated that various bodies across the dominion were not co-ordinated in their efforts and the establishment of a commis- Sion could possibly serve the welfare system to good advan- tage. Mr. Starr welcomed the 230 delegates to Oshawa which he described as '"'the city where automobiles grow", he added that Oshawa has also made so- cial as well as industrial pro- gress. The former Oshawa mayor outlined his own experi- ences when serving on the wel- fare board in the late 1930's. Mr. Starr said that he en- countered people at that time who had known no other life but that of dependence on relief. He stated that there were still peo- ple in this condition today. The former cabinet minister in the Diefenbaker government said that experience he gained in those days assisted him when drawing up labor legislation. The assembled welfare adminis- trators were praised by the speaker who referred to them as, "the people who make the theories work", Mr. Starr outlined the parts various government bodies play- ed in the administration of wel- fare throughout the country. He pointed out that municipal gov- ernment was where the contacts with the people were made and where the end re' ult of the wel- fare system was manifested. The municipal winter works program was pointed out as a way in which a_ municipality could make a direct contribution --Oshawa Times Photo, | there. administration of welfare. to the welfare schemes, Mr. Starr added. The audience heard that the province now ex- pends $300,000,000 to maintain the winter works programs and help to relieve the pressure on the welfare administrators. The present government is not trying to stop the program, Mr. Starr continued, but is trying to extend it in a small way. He also stated that a job training program should be extended and quoted examples of skilled workers being brought to Can- ada from abroad as there were no facilities for training in the appropriate trades in Canada, The new technicl and voca- tional schools set up throughout the province will remedy this lack in a few years, Mr. Starr added. He pointed out that re- habilitation and re-training of redundant workers played a part in reducing the welfare rolls, In conclusion Mr, Starr told the delegates that the conven- tion gave an opportunity to sort out and learn new facets of 4 have appreciated the chance to exchange view points about wel- fare and its relation to wel- fare," he ended.
