WATER STORAGE TANKS AT GUANTANAMO These large storage tanks at the Guantanamo.Bay Naval tation will play an important part in supplying the base with water if Castro's govern- ment shuts off the base water supply as they threaten, The Cuban government Thursday notified it was cutting off the water supply until the 36 Cuban fishermen held at Key West are released. --AP Wirephoto Director Of Operations Stresses Planning Need The thinking on the future of Oshawa's vic government must undergo a complete re- examination, Kevin C. Cahill, director of operations, said Thursday. "With a $244,000,000 (assess- ment) business to operate we can't afford the luxury of mis- takes, nor can we afford the time to remedy them," he told the Civic Affairs Committee of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce. "To the extent that we plan in advance, that we review facet of an operation and all its implications before we start -- to that extent we shall be successful in an efficiently- tun operation," he said, As director of operations, Mr. Cahill co-ordinates the work engi of three city departments: ring, board of works and GOOD STEP "It's a es step to co-ordin- @te three departments," he said fn answer to a question, "but it's not the final step, You ean't run a business with 20 ent heads ga | to aboard of Directors (city Cahill read a long list of departments "'clerk's de- Mr. eity partment, tax department, treasurer's department . . .") and said: "Every one of these some- where along the line, to a great- er or lesser degree, has an im- pact and effect on the perform- ance of the others, "Yet their contact with each other is of the minimum. "Twelve unfortunate alder- men and the. mayor, meeting for a few hours several times each month, in time they sacri- fice from their leisure for small remuneration and, usually, smaller appreciation of their tasks, are responsible for the close administration of all these activities, "They are the target for all kinds of unreasonable citizens in trying to carry out many tasks from which they should be relieved." BOARD SUGGESTED Tn answer to another question, Mr, Cahill suggested a three- man board, meeting once a week, to share department con- trol. He also discussed an elect- ed (for a five year period) board of control and the city manager system. Citing the uncontrolled sprawl of Toronto over into this area, Mr. Cahill asked: Oshawa, His topic was "The Up and Coming Generation" from our point of view. go nowadays, as young ado- lescents, we are having drummed into our heads that we should be prepa ture, as the world pend on us, It is always 'you are the future leaders'; "Are we ready for it?

WHERE THE YWCA ™ And Congo Not Ready For Independence Members of The Oshawa Ki- and other portions of South Africa, at their luncheon meet- ing this week, when the guest epeaker was Dr. A, K. Mighton, . Mighton, a former prac- tising physician and surzeon in Qshawa, prior to moving to Hamilton, spent the summer months of 1962 in Africa and his impressions and observa- tions, as revealed in his address served to pin-point the problem ef South Africa, rr ee ee. Dr..Mighton was introduced by Kiwanian Dr. Murray Town- send, who in inimitable fashion, related the early. life, education and training of the guest speak- er, including references to his previous sojourn in this city. At) the conclusion of the talk, Ki-| wanian "Bill" Holland voiced the sincere appreciation of the members. SLIDES SHOWN Dr. Mighton's address was highlighted with a showing of colored slides, pictures taken on his trip, which served to illus- trate in vivid clarity the com- plex combination of old and aaodern conditions, housing con- ditions, buildings, services, etc., in the various European doctors made an al- ready serious public health situ- ation even more dangerous, The speaker also explained the work of the Congo Protestant Coun. cil, trying to co-ordinate the var- jous missionary efforts, in bring- ing medical aid, doctors, nurses, technicians and assisting in the work of the mission hospitals. Dr. Mighton went on to ex- plain his participation in the medical work, operations, treat- ments, etc., at the various sta- tions. The training of African primary school teachers, male nurses for hospitals, training in agricultural fields, such as rais- ing cattle, crops, etc., was also explained. "With very few exceptions, as in most African countries, the only education available in the Congo has been through these mission schools, Catholic or Protestant," declared the speak- er. TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS "There are tremendous prob- lems in the Congo, chiefly due to lack of education," he said. "There is no efficient govern- ment at any level and graft is rampant, There are at least fifty different tribes with differ- ing languages and fierce, un- reasoning loyalty to their own tribe and bitter antagonism to others. "Except for a few bicycles and transistor radios, the peo- ple live communally in villages much as they have for hundreds or years, They have no concep- tion of sanitations and are high- ly infested with parasites and other tropical diseases." In conclusion, the speaker de- clared "Africa appears to pre- sent a great challenge to the Lagos, | Christian chusches and to West- ern civilization, which I believe} tas advanced on the principles of Christianity. The great need appears to be for education, to get away from starvation, dis- ease, tribalism and other troubles. But it will probably be too bad for them and for the rest of the world, if they achieve education, without moral and Christian principles," we all recognize and no one rea. lizes it better than ourselves. You may wonder how I intend to relate this to my chief in- terest -- Key Clubbing. Well, ENTERED IN RALLY The Canadian Winter Rally begins tonight with a three-car team from the Oshawa Motor Sport ow Re egy tries. Thefe is at le local man entered. Te will be driving for a commercial team. The 1,300 - mile international is due event end Sun- a to the 136 en-|i ast one other|i the way I see it, in order to have some understanding and prepration for our future lives, we need training -- both educa- tionally and also to my mind -- just as important -- how to get along with people. To get along with people and be able to talk to, and with people is to me just as important as being able to figure out a mathematical equation. "As I have said, this is where the important training comes in. Our mechanical training we get at the high school; our social training we gain by experience. This is where Key Clubbing plays its part. Key Clubs, in the program it sets up means three things -- Training, fellowship and opportunity. LEADERSHIP TRAINING "The first of these -- Train- ing --,and by training I refer to leadership training, is pos- sibly the most important of any of the benefits of Key Clubs, The very objectives of Key Clubs are set up so as to de- velop these abilities. This is made possible by the fact that the Key Clubber himself is the most important individual in all the entire Key Club structure. By be.ng able to participate in a group where your opinions and ideas are worth as much as anyone else, where you have a chance to work and plan proj- ects with others. Key Clubbing gives to the individual a sense of purpose and allows him to be himself among others. By serving in the various functions and services to others, the Key Clubber is able to bring him- self to do things for others and enjoy doing it and in doing so, further his training in get- ting along with people. "The second aspect of the benefits of Key Club is that of fellowship. Being together with others, having fun with others and doing things together all make for better relationships in our everyday life. | "Lastly, is the opportunity phase of Key Clubbing. I have outlined what Key Club offers to the individual, but perhaps its main function is its opportun- ity to do all these things. By giving high school boys a chance to enjoy and experience these good times and happenings, it is fulfilling the most important) function of all. ers. "The next phase of the train- ing program in connection with Key Clubbing is YOU, the Ki- District conventions. In Key Key Clubbing, Kianians do benefit from opportunity and fellowship by helping us to pre- pare ourselves in the best pos- sible way for the next genera- tion. I know from personal ex- perience that some of the best relationships in fellowship have been with my own sponsoring Kiwanis Club. So you can see that, although Kiwanians have an advisory attitude to Key Club, it is done in such a way that everyone benefits. "In closing I might say that to me Key Club has been an experience all in itself and one from which I feel I have greatly benefitted and have personally enjoyed. To me Key Club is the everything club -- it offers not just a few things, it offers everything to the individual. "Key Club holds great things for the future, and will con- tinue to fulfill its import function for many years to come -- that of training and helping boys. "So, in the words of a boy replying to a man who had just complimented him for fine work, I will close "You haven't seen anything yet." He was thanked by past presi- dent Jules Ethier and also pre- sented with a certificate of ap- preciation by President Gord Adair, AWARD PRESENTED Lieutenant Governor Henry Reed of Division 6B presented past-president Bob Branch with the Lieutenant Governor Award for the last quarter of 1963. This is achieved by the club who has accumulated the highest av- erage of any club in the dis- trict, The Westmount Club compiled an average of 99.8 per cent for October, November and Decem- ber. He stated "by receiving this award it is an indication) that your Club is living up to Waterloo, -- Canada could cease to exist as an effective political and economic entity if growing regional forces in the country continue unchecked, ac- cording to E. A. Rieder, presi- dent of The Mutual Life Assur- ance Company of Canada. At the company's annual meet- ing here, Mr. Rieder warned that Canada's productive effi- ciency and standard of living would be endangered, if the rel- atively small Canadain market becomes further broken up by regional and racial preferences. "In the long run," he said, "by encouraging the growth of many small organizations such policies will make it difficult for Canadian producers to remain competitive, both at home and in world markets." SENSE OF NATIONHOOD The Mutual president said Canada's greatest challenge now is to find, beyond the ties of region and la a sense Seen Detrimental surance increased by 6 per cent over 1962, Sales totalled $459 million, including $108 million group in- surance, Insurance in force rose by $270 million to a total of over $4 billion, Group insurance in is approximatel.: $1 billion. Mr. Rieder said the lapse rate, which measures the termination of policies during their e arly years, continues to be the lowest in the industry in Canada, Premium income of $87.8 mil- lion was up 6.3 per cent over 1962. Payments to policyholders and. beneficiaries were $70.5 million, an increase of $5.8 mil- lion over the previous year. Sur- plus earnings were $20.7 mil- lion, Dividends to policyholders totalled $16.9 million, Another increase in dividends has been announced for 1964, the ninth in the past eleven years. Assests increased by $56 mil- lion to a total of $830 million. Bonds and morgage investments comprise 88 per cent of the total of Canadian nationhood worth preserving and developing. "In this age of paradoxes, when we believe that the way to balance a budget is to cut taxes rather than to increase them, the challenge to over- come the' barriers' which . now divide us may produce the basis for unity we all seek," he said, He said that every or. ganization operating throughout Canada will be affected by the ts.

We could tell you many other things about the YWCA -- how it began in England more than a hundred years ago because! two very ferent types of women cared about the physi- cal and spiritual needs of young women and did something about it -- how it has gone on caring about the girls of each succeed-' ing generation in every areal of their lives, expressing that concern against the background of their times and of their world, Today the YWCA is in more than 70 countries and in more than 50 Canadian cities, bers all around the world are -- Vane in \ a ser- e-- a giv: id receiving 'ellowship, fe We think you'd enjoy being a YWCA member; later on -- and if you're 16, we think you'll want to become a voting ber, accepting the YWCA Pur- pose, taking your share shaping the YWCA of the ture, helping other girls like to find friends, have fun, li happyand useful life.
