To Describe Early Life In Ontario "Ontario Before 1850" will be the topic of an address by J. P. Lovekin, a distinguished Cana- dian scholar, at the annual meeting of the Oshawa and Dis- trict ee ae ee pier evening, Nov. 29, in - torium of the McLaughlin Pub- lic Library. This subject deals with life in|% Ontario before the -- railway\# period when each community had to live from its immediate resources. The distinct local character thus engendered pro- vided a charm all but impos- sible in this day of easy com- munication. Actually informa- tion on this period is rather sparse and research undertaken by an historical society could prove to be a valuable coniripu- tion to the history of our prov- ince. Mr. Lovekin, who was born in Newcastle, comes to Oshawa as a neighbor rather than an | outsider. He is the president of Priests Disagree On | Chest Total the Durham Historical Society.

Presenting their arguments to the board of Roman Catholic separate school trustees were Rt. Rev. P. Coffey, pastor of Holy Cross Church and Rev. J. C. Pereyma, pastor of St. George's Urainian Greek Cath- olic Church. No action was taken by the board. Msgr. Coffey said he could see no need for the new school be- cause many pupils at Holy Cross would filter into Corpus Christi School next year. He claimed there: is no overcrowd- ing at Holy Cross and that, next year, "there might be an empty room". CHURCH AN ESSENTIAL A d ar t pre: by Msgr. Coffey was that a Catholic school that is not built near a church "is detrimental to pupils because they cannot practice their religion". He said Corpus Christi school is '"'handi- capped thus"'. He elaborated most on his third point, that a school in this area would inspire separatism. "T have heard that this would become a Ukrainian school," said Msgr. Coffey. He said that when people come to C: 7 y would happen if all new-comers to Canada went off in their little groups. 'You are here with an obliga- tion to serve the children of Canada," he told the trustees, "and I don't want you to create separatism." He pointed out the recent de- velopment at the Ecumenical Council in Rome, where it was decided that portions of the mass could be said in the ver- nacular. "I would say the ver- nacular in Oshawa is English," he said. Msgr. Coffey closed his pre- sentation by saying: 'I hope you will give up this idea of building a school which will cre- ate a national problem." TO PROTECT RITE Father Pereyma, accom- panied by a four-man delegation djfrom his parish, told the board that the school is needed '"'to protect the Eastern Rite of the Catholic faith'. He explained that there are more than 14 rites within the church, other than the Latin rite. "Our children should be brought up to love the Eastern Rite, but if they don't have the ity, our parish will lose all its young people to the Latin Rite," he explained. He out that many par- rents in his parish oppose send- to the Oshawa ih children up in the rite of their fathers, and now we have that opportunity with this new school you are about to build," he told the board. Father Pereyma said a ques- tionnaire had been circulated to his 300-family parish, and that replies had been received from 194 families to date. "The result showed' that there are 90 pre- school children in the area, 65 others who are at present at- tending a separate school, and 154 others who are attending public schools. FEAR EXTINCTION "We are not trying to make you build a school for Ukrainian children," he said, "but a school where the Eastern Rite would be preserved." He said there is a chance that nuns of the East- ern Rite would provide capable teachers who would conduct the same academic program as in the other schools, but who would teach both the Latin. and East- ern Rites in religion classes. Father Pereyma predicted that his church would be empty in '20 or 30 years" if the young people are not brought up in K, D. J. E. Rutherford Canadian National Express Em.

Watson was travelling URGE VOTERS CONSULT CARDS L. R. Barrand, Oshawa city clerk, issued a_ state- ment Thursday, directing voters in the liquor plebis- cite to consult cards issued by City Hall. He said that several hun- dred cards, telling people where to vote, had been mailed by the manager of one of the interested groups and they gave the wrong address for some booths. Mr. Barrand said: "We have moved the boundaries of several subdivisions in order to divide the old part of the city from the annex- ed area for voting pur- poses, "The cards issued by this manager give the old ad- dress for booths. We have sent out 20,000 cards that are correct and I would like to urge people to use these," Mr. Barrand said. About 200 voters in the N.W., N.E., and S.W. Wards The question of a new town- ship office for East Whitby came to the fore at post nomi- nation debates in Columbus, Thursday night. . Reeve Neil Smith Jaid the matter before about 40 resi- dents and candidates in the form of a denial that the town- ship had made any offer to pur- chase the abandoned Maple Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur- ance Co. offices in Columbus. "Regardless of whit anybody else says, there has been no offer to purchase," he "It was discussed in council, and after a tie vote we came out in favor of negotiating for the building. Looking to the future of the township I feel it 'has merit and could be valu- able to us," added Reeve Smith. "I believe there are good reasons for and against buying t were number of years."

"You can't receive delega- tions, handle plans and blue- prints and have an efficient fil- ing system in a kitchen," he said. "It's horrible. You should be having this meeting there."

The three school board seats looked as though they would be contested by four nominees but towards the end of the evening. Howard Farndale, a veteran of 14 years as a trustee, declined his nomination. The three trustees elected by acclamation are: Robert Patte, a merchant; Roy Nottingham, a farmer and Leonard Slute, farmer. : Retiring township clerk, George Farncombe, said he thought the number of original nominations filed was a record Board Debate At 12.20 a.m. today, Trustee Ernest Marks presented a notice of motion to the Oshawa Sep- arate School Board, that at the next regular meeting he will move that an 11 p.m. curfew be Placed on all board meetings. During the five-hour session which . started at 7.30° p.m. Thursday, board members ap- proved an application by Harold Murphy, teacher at Holy Cross Separate School, to allow an ice rink on the school grounds, The board also ruled that. other schools would be allowed a rink if their applications complied with the rules on organization and supervision. Mr. Murphy urged the board to allow the rink, pointing out that 149 parents in the amea had volunteered to flood the ice. He said boys at the school built the siding themselves at a cost of $16 and that they would benefit from organized tivities made ing their child.

"It is our duty to bring our opposed from the start to the possibility that East Whitby might purchase the Maple Leaf property. "Tf we're going to spend that much money, we should build our own biulding with a public hall, but I don't think we need more office space at present," commented Gordon. Incumbent council candidate, Rudi Maeder, who'd earlier de- clined a nomination to contest the deputy reeveship, turned in a display of verbal fireworks when he took the floor. Maeder opened by blasting East Whitby citizens for the small turn out at the meeting. He then turned immediately to the question of the Maple Leaf building saying resolutely: "I am for it." | As matters of disagreement |rose from the audience, he turn- ed on his opponents, his voice cracking and a small card table leaping under the impact of his fist with the question: "Why not think modern:" SEES SPACE NEED are involved.

New Church Organized A second Free Methodist Church was recently organized in Oshawa. The new church is at 1042 Rossland road west. This work was begun as an extension of the Free Methodist Church, Erie street, three years ago, holding only Sunday School and youth services the first year, As interest increased the need was felt for a morning service.

"This is different even from five years ago," said Evans,-- "To operate properly we need ° twice the space we've got now. . Are we going to spend a few thousand dollars now.
