DISTRICT Seek Support . For Blood Clinic Stroud, chairman impress upon the people who contacted and who make : ed Phe Blood Donor Committ Branch of the aaa Red Cross Society, has issued the following state- ment regarding the January cli- nic. He also makes an appeal for all-out support for the Feb- ruary clinic which will be held Thursday, Feb. 6. "Everything seemed to be against us for our January Clinic, First.of all the clinic date fell on January 2 and did not give any of us much time to make extra preparations or to be able to give the Clinic the publicity that it needed. Many people who were busy with their own affairs worked hard during the Holiday Season to contact donorls and to organ- ize the operations. To add to all these difficulties we got a snow storm which made travelling difficult and hazardous. In spite of this we got 263 bottles of blood. With the same amount of|: effort one month previously we collected 429 bottles. "With all due respect to the donors who came to the clinic and those who were unable to keep their appointments and to all of us who did so much work, this is not enough blood for the people in our hospital for the month of January. Dr. Clark, the Pathologist who is in charge of the blood supply at the Osh- awa hosp'tal contacted me one day recently and told me there was not one bottle of O Positive Blood in the bank that was not already designated for a patient who would be waiting for it. This meant that if you or I went in the hospital at that time and required a transfusion of O Poositive Blood it would have been impossible to get it immediately. Only through our ent with the Toronto would we be able to give this Blood Transfusion. And then it would be after sending an ur- message to Toronto to get fie" Blood 'delivered by police 4 car, "This is not the kind of a sit- uation in which we want to find ourselves. There are enough rs people in Osh- I am sure, to keep our Blood Bank in good supply. NEXT CLINIC "Because we afe using so much more Blood during the month of January than we col- lected we are going to put on an extra drive and put all kinds of effort into the procuring of do- nors for our next clinic. It is our, aim to collect at least 500 bottles of blood. There will be about 35 phoners contacting former donors. Just a little over one thousand people who have donated in the past will be phoned by these women. This is a monumental task in itself but to help these phoners get a reception we need the help the representatives of ail|/ FIVE the organizations. Nearly every donor that we have, belongs to one or more of the organizations in Oshawa to whom this bulletin is addressed. As I have said | og itmes in the past your appointments, the importance of coming to the Clinic and do- nating. The other way that you ate is by finding us NEW "We have additional nurses, nurses' aides, beds and equip- ment for the next Clinic and we will be prepared to handle 600 donors if that many come. The service should be faster than usual and now that we have been able to get extra help we hope that it will be used. Our goal is a minimum of 500 bottles but we would like to see 600. "Our next clinic will be held at St. Gregory's Auditorium on 'Thursday, February 6, from 1.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon and from 6.00 to 9.00 in the evening. We would like to have as many peo- ple as possible come during the are unable to come at that time and so many come in the even- ng that there often is a line- p. If they can be spread out raat the afternoon and evening afternoon because many people} "One never knows when he or she may be in the hospital and need Blood Transfusions. Sometimes one or two boitles will suffice but it is possible under certain conditions to need 16 or 17 bottles within a short space of time. We may be per- fectly healthy today but tomor- Tow we may need a blood trans- fusion. If all of us would think about this we would work all the harder to see that there is always a good supply of whole blood in our hospital's blood bank. This point was driven home to me last weekend when my mother had to be taken to the hospital where she is get- ting blood transfusions. Al- though we have collected over 23,000 bottles of blood since I have been chairman, I am still concerned in this particular case because she is using a type that is in very short supply at the moment. "Will you do everything you possibly can (1) to impress upon the donors who make appoint- ments to try to keep them (2) to remind the former donors who have given recently that if they are contacted by a Red Cross phoner that the need is urgent -- (3) enroll at least TWO NEW DONORS from your organization for the February there will be no line-ups. Clinic." The Unitarian Fellowship at its meeting last weekend heard Mrs. Helen Tucker, a leading personality in international peace movements, speak on the topic "Paths to Peace". Mrs. Tucker described some of the recent events in world history which make peace ef- forts more imperative than ever before, primary being the ad- vent of thermonuclear weapons. Gandhi and the success of his peaceful resistance movement in India has been a rallying point for many people who see his methods a way of ex- pressing dissent from militarist- ic activities on the part of their governments. Hitler's rise to power has shown forcibly how apathy and dinary citizens can make pos- sible immoral acts on the part of their leaders. The rise and in- creasing strength of totalitarian) w, Communism has _ raised question of whether Commu- ism can be contained and im fluenced 'by peaceful means or whether its threats of force. Mrs. Tucker has recently re- turned from a conference in New York of world peace leade- ts called "Turn Towards Peace" and she describe in de- tail the various categories or "clusters" into which peace workers tend to group. PATHS "Five different "paths to peace" were described as fol- lows: Firstly, maintenance of pres- ent sovereign states with self- indifference on the part of or-/of Cites 5 Paths To World Peace tem thermonuclear weapons are built and stored as a deterr- ent against aggression from other states. Secondly, each state relin- quishes its rights to maintain arms and armies surrendering its weaponry to international control which could then work out a scheme of disarmament. Nations" would continue to pur- sue their objectives in the fields of economics and political per- suasion i.e. "conflict without violence". Thirdly, the formation of a World Government to which all nations would surrender their their sovereignty and submit to courts of international justice. Such a world government would probably start as an extension the present United Nations. Fourthly, increasing power and influence by international agencies -- atomic scientists associate to limit nuclear the Sieting aviators would agree to stop flying,tary planes, mothers would unite to protest radio- active fall-out, etc. Fifth, efforts to achieve world peace on an individual basis by civil disobedience to govern- ments who pursue military aims, tax refusal, peace marches, conscientious objec- tion to military. service NEW WORLD Said Mrs. Tucker, who is a cofounder of the 'Voice of Women" and active in the or ganization of International Co- operation Year; '"'We must con- template a new world in which imposed controls achieving a way of helping us is tolbalance of power. In such a eys- war does not take place". .

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE "The most important requisite to create interest is a knowledge of the history of our city pe the purpose, rights and duties of our city council. "What do we know about the history of our city: "Do we know that. trade and commerce started in Oshawa in the year 1750. "This was the year that the French established a trading post near the mouth of the Osh- awa Creek. "In the year 1778 United Em- pire Loyalists settled in this area. "In the year 1793 Governor Simcoe planned -- for military purposes -- the road between Debaters Down Peel Ontario County debaters de- feated Peel County in the third round of the Provincial series and will now advance to the semi-finals against Northum- berland County. Representing Ontario County is Bob Robertson, Port Perry, Marilyn Downey, Frank Bar- key and David Hawthorne from the Brooklin Junior Farmers.

'The semi-finals will be held at the Zone Junior Farmers' Leadership School, being held Kingston Toronto, now known as itghway 2. "Following completion of this highway by Governor Simcoe -- people began to clear the for- ests and settle this section and by 1824 there was a little cluster of houses located at what is now the main corner of the city, King and Simcoe streets. VILLAGE IN 1850 "Oshawa was established as a and a city in 1924 -- are we aware of these events -- do they bear any significance to you? "Now in respect to municipal government. The existing allo- cation of functions of the dif- ferent levels of government in Canada was rag eo deter- mined by the Britis America Act of 1867. Under Sec. tion 92 of that act the matter of legislating with respect to muni- cipal institutions was' assigned exclusively to the provinces. "Hence all municipal legisla- tion is enacted by the provincial legislature. In Ontario such leg- islation is of two types.

In addi- tion there are numerous provin-' cial acts which apply to all municipalities such as the As- sessment Act, the Public Health Act, the Local Improvement Act, etc. "This system of general legis- lation is pptonned by spe- cial acts applicable only to one municipality -- common-' ly known as private acts. Such acts are enacted by the legis- lature at the request of in- dividual municipalities and pro- vide for special powers or devia- tions from the general law.
