But was there a_ single grumble from the ranks, a mur- mur of discontent about the discipline No sir. For the officers of the Cadet Corps and student militia of the Ontario Regiment have found that boys thrive on it. THRIVE ON DISCIPLINE Major E. Dawson, head of the cadets, leaned back in his hard wooden chair at the Armories headquarters, and said: "The more you kick them around the more they like it. "Boys from this area really take a pride in achievement, They thrive on discipline. We give them the works, No gloves are kept on. : "If you tell. them,their pants are pink they must agree.. ."

The recital was sponsored by. the Oshawa and District Branch of the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers' Associations. Mr. Skeaping combined. his ability and virtuoso technique to give expression and quality to a 'very demanding program. Miss Blakeway, a petite young singer, surprised all with the bigness of her voice, her rich tone and expressive contro] in the interpretation of her num- bers. Miss Eileen Chappell played the exacting accompaniments with the skill and understand- ing that enrich a program.

Dismissed | An appeal against the assess- jment of an Eastlawn street |home was turned down at an Ontario Municipal Board hear- ing at Oshawa City Hall Tues- ay. Dr. E. J. Otvos appealed the $6,355 assessment on his home |before A. H. Arrell, QC. City js0licitor E.G, McNeely said that the assessment had orig- inally been set at $6,600 but a reduction had been made by a Court of Revision. Dr. Otvos said that he lived in a house which was over 130 jyears old and understood that houses more than 100 years old were allowed a 30 per cent re- duction in taxes. The board questioned the statement. The appellant said that he was taxed on an-addition to the house which was not yet finish- ed, He added that he was un- able to pay his taxes now but would do so in two years time. Mr, Arrel! suggested that) the taxes be allowed to fa!l into arrears for two years until the appellant was able.to pay. Mr. McNeely pointed out that houses could be sold. for unpaid taxes at the end of a_ three-year period but bailiffs could seize goods during that perivd. Mr. Arrell then told Dr. Otvos that he had better straighten out his affairs with the city tax collector and that no reason had been given for any further reduction in the assess- ment figure.

His Worship had aldermen supplied with copies of a water supply survey of this area. Done by Dr. J. E. Watt, city super- visor of environmental sanita- tion, the survey described qual- ty of the water going into two off the seven homes as '"'ques- tionable"', In one it was called "unsatis- factory" and in the other three was "okay". « SEVEN HOMES "These seven homes are bad- ly in need of water,"' said the mayor. "The PUC says there would be a good financial re- turn on installation. It would not; cost the taxpayers one cent," Froniage charges levied against each property owner! over a 20 year period would take care of the installation costs, "As long as it is economically sound," emphasized the mayor, "I think it (water) should go | Wd The issue arose over approval of a planning board motion of last May which recommended refusal of extension at this' time. At Mayor Gifford's request, the board took another look last month and came up. with the same recommendation, Ald, John Dyer told council His Worship had a strong case if sentimentality were the only factor. "However, :t would »e illegai to order council to extend serv- ices in the buffer zone," said Ald. Dyer. 'Our hands are tied But 'the time is coming for a close look at the buffer zone. "Planning Board's consistency is too rugged for some," said Ald. Dyer, looking over at the mayor, "but we have stood strong behind the Official Plan." (The city's Official Plan says services shall not be extended into buffer zone areas.) $211,402 Is Given Chest A total of $211,402.15 has been contributed to the Greater Oshawa Community Chest.

We' may have won the war but did we win the peace', he added. "This is a time for us to re- member, we need to remember the ravages of war, the futility of war. In recognizing this futil- ity, we must try to do all we can to attain true peace. "These things must be given special significance on Remem- brance Day. We must consider the horrors and ravages of war and more still, the terrible con- sequences of another war. TIME BEGRUDGED "It is unfortunate, today, peo- ple even begrudge the two min- utes of silence i on Re- membrance Day," stated. Rev. Sharpe, "yet this is our one great reminder of the sacrifice that has been made and also Gane that always is our thanks ahd appreciation of the members and guests. Rev. Ronald A. Sharpe gave a thought-provoking talk on the theme of "Lest We Forget" -- in keeping with the club's ob- servance of Remembrance Day. Mr. Sharpe pointed out in vivid retrospect that 'Remem- brance Day" was also a day of reminding. "On November 11," stated the speaker, "these vet- erans of the First and Second Great Wars will not only re- member themselves but they will remember their comrades. LITTLE PLEASURE "There is not too much pleas- ure in remembrance for those who may have missed death by a fraction but have returned to us, for a continuing life of pain and suffering," he declared.

No doubt they enjoy the comradeship, the social activity that is part of their life but they are still make ing a great personal sacrifice, @ sacrifice of their own time and of the time they could spend with their family, to participate in the training and _ exercises that form part of their regi- mental training. "These people recognize the true principles of our daily way of life, that those things we love and cherish must be defended and society owes them a great debt of gratitude, because of their willingness to "take the time to train and be prepared," he said. OPP Censured By Labor Congress NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. (CP) The provincial police in North- ern Ontario were censured here Tuesday by delegates to the On- tario Federation of Labor (CLC) convention. The convention passed a res- olution condemning what it said was the failure of law adminis- trative and enforcement agen- cies to release all the evidence considered in the shooting death of three union members during a strike in the Kapuskasing area in February. The resolution also condemned the police for allowing the deaths to be misrepresented to the public. : The violence erupted at Res- sor Siding during a strike by the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union (CLC) against mills in the area. The union was at-| tempting to force non-union log- gers to stop selling logs to the! mills during the strike. Jack Peshau of Kapuskasing, a delegate for the Lumber and Saw Mill Workers, criticized the numbers of provincial police who converged on areas where strikes were being held. 'GOON SQUADS' "When is the public going to quit paying the amount they pay to hire Ontario Provincial Police to act as goon squads for the government?" he asked. "The provincial police, like the bully boys they are, throw their weight around and do nothing in the end." "The police knew there were guns in the crowd. Responsible citizens requested that police take the guns away. They did inothing,"' he said. Mr, Peshau said no evidence was given in the prelimino-v hearing of the 20 settlers charged with non-capital mur- der about the truck lights that were turned on "to give the gunslingers a chance to see the union men." Frank Gray, delegate for the United Steelworkers of America (CLC), said labor organizers who went in the north country were "'beaten up and thrown in jail by the OPP." HONOR MEMORY Delegates observed three min- utes silence Tuesday in memory of the three lumbermen Joe Laforce, head of the Kap- juskasing local of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union, told the convention the plan for a monument to the three has run into local opposition. Some union members have been warned any monument will be dynamited, he said, and there have been attempts to prevent building of a memorial. Mt. Laforce said the union has purchased an acre of land near the scene of. the shooting. He called on all Ontario union members to donate five. cents each towards the $25,000 cost of a monument. WEAR MASKS Mr. Peshau alleged that pro- vincial police told 'guns:inge*s"! when the union men left the hall; to go to the railroad siding where the shootings took place. North America's Hopi Indians believe themselves transformed into the spirits represented by the masks they wear on cere- monial occasions. :
