Thanking delegates for re- electing him president of the Council, Alderman Pilkey said: "The Labor Movement and our Council here must be aware of the pressures that are being ap- plied on the question of taxa- tion, "The trend today is to tax the working man at the plant level because he is the most vulner- able and the last one to take any collective action. "This Labor Council must be- come the effective spokesman in this regard." Alderman Pilkey, a Local 222 UAW delegate, said that 1964 could be the most important in, the history of the Council. He said that on the collective ALDERMAN PILKEY essential we continue to support the idea of a National Pension Plan, which is sorely needed in Canada." He reminded the meeting that the Provincial Legislature will convene next week, This could be its most important session in many years he said, The alderman said there could be legislation on a Medicare program for Ontario.

Kiwanian Bob McNab, chair. man of the club's "Travelogue Committee" came in for spe- clal mention and received "the resident's rose" for the week, in tribute to his successful oper- ation of this important club project, , The various committee chair- men outlined their plans for the ensuing year and in each jin- stance, stressed the key work involved, to assure the success of the club's 1964 operations, "Freedom" -- the Kiwanis In- ternational theme for 1064, was adequately outlined by club resident Reg Lancaster, in a fitting story of the world's best- known bells. Basing his mes: sage on the famous 'Liberty Bell" -- the president warned that the tyranny of oligarchy is not nearly as dangerous as the or of a citizen of demo- cilac 7. "In Kiwanis", he said, "the dell tolls, calling for personal service, a toscin calling to all responsible citizens for personal service," "In this respect", he con- cluded, 'the bell tolls and calls to every one of us and particu- larly to each Kiwanian," Exploitation Is Charged The exploitation of immi- grants in Canada is "pathetic" Doug Lindsay, executive officer, told a meeting Tuesday night of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, The Council has formed a new committee to look into employ- ment conditions.

T. Me- Grath Tuesday night, Mr. McGrath, executive sec- retary of the Canadian Correc- tions Association, said the CCA is suggesting each province study a program which could be introduced into schools to help teenagers understand the law. The speaker, himself, is au- thor of a book, Youth and the Law, which is receiving study by city teachers, "Few parents have technical knowledge of the law necessary to give teenagers full coverage of the topic," he said, "The school seems to be the most ef- fective resource available to give support to the family in interpreting our laws." Mr. McGrath, speaking to about 70 persons at the first an- nual dinner of the Oshawa 'Branch of the John Howard So- ciety, noted that communist countries seem to have succeed- ed "to an amazing degree" in instilling a sense of community service in their 'teenagers. BREAKDOWN SEEN "Their task is simpler," Mr. McGrath siad, "because their aim is to teach the teenager the state is right, We must go beyond this and instill a critical individuality, Mr, McGrath claimed there has been "something of a break- down in communications" be- tween the present teenage gen- eration and preceding genera- tions, "In the past, the family was the main channel for the trans- mitting of motivation between generations, "Today, the family has be-|® come a two generation unit, left to right, Ernest Marks, QC, secretary; Mayor Lyman Gilford of Oshawa; W.

Grade 8 or 9 is being suggested as the appropriate level, and a one-hundred page textbook has been prepared, and has been released by W. J. Gage Limited. "In this context, the term law has a very wide connotation, It must not be looked upon only as a set of rules to be enforced by the police, but rather positively as an effort to distill out of the experience of the centuries the ground rules that make it pos- sible for people to live together in freedom, justice, and mutual co-operation, To really understand the law is to understand our whole cul- ture, Historically, each step to- wards freedom and the dignity of the individual was reflected ernment and legal justice de- ager could learn to see the law in this positive light, rather than as a set of unnecessary restric. tions set up to irk him, he might give the law his support, Man Fined $25, Costs BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- John Geddes, RR 3, Bowman. ville, was fined $25 and costs or five days in jail Tuesday after he was convicted of care- less driving.

Murray Sparkes, president, Mr, MoGrath's sub- ject was "Interpreting Au- thority to Youth', More than "IT suspect this program could not be handled in the usual lec- ture fashion, It would have to. be headed up by a teacher, but it should be made into a living thing through the use of the seminar method; by bringing the policeman, the magistrate and the juvenile court judge, the crown and defence attornies, and the treatment people into the classroom; through the use of mock trials and films; and by student visits to see the services in action, "We should avoid interfering with the prerogatives of parents, To ensure this, I would like to see us embark on a parallel pro- gram to involve parents directly in this scheme. The program now being suggested is called Youth and the Law. I would favor a complementary pro- gram called Parents and. the Ww.
