Tax structures make it too tough for the bright boys to operate and they will go to the Bahamas, he warned, The whole tax structure, as far as Can- adian industry is concerned, needs a close look, he said. He suggested the giving up of some local aut y to "run school on provincial funds." : Wiebe suggested the rationing of good farmland around cities. Put factories on marginal land, he said.

Attilis Labriola, 214 Nassau St., a student at OCCI won the junior trophy with his painting depicting 'Universal Need'. D. M. Alloway,executive ters, which donated the trophies when the first contest was held last year, presented the trophies at the luncheon. Certificates of merit were presented to Clarke Mackey, Susan Hickey and Rick McCar- ten who received honorable mention on the contest. John Meyers, Toronto, provin- cial campaign director of the March of Dimes, said the or- ganization is helping 8,000 dis- abled persons in Ontario. He added that one of the main programs of the March of Dimes is job placement and training. "But," he added, '"'we can't assist anyone who doesn'r want to be helmed. A person has to rehabilitate himself." Robert Branch, executive sec- retary of the Community Chest and, immediate past president of the Kiwanis Club, introduced Mr. Meyers. Shelly Kahn and Harold Genge, junior and senior win- ners of iu Chest's public speak- ing contest, also spoke to the club about agencies in the Chest campaign.

'"'They have all the beau- ties of nature there as well as a wonderful standard 'of living, a standard of living based upon the exploitation of African labor." : He told of visiting the Gen- eral Motors plant at Port Eliza- beth in the Province of Natal. 'The operations there are very similar to those_carried on at the Oshawa GM plants," he stated, "assembly line opera- tions, etc." "Africans or those of mixed blood make up 75 per cent of the work force," Mr. Thomas continued, 'and are paid the equivalent of $24 to $30 weekly, White men, doing the same work, are paid $90 per week. "The difference in pay is be- cause of the difference in the color of a man's skin," Mr. 'Thomas explained, "in line with the government's policy, not the policy of General Motors."' Mrs. Thomas pointed out that compulsory." Letter Was 'Blunder' Says Ovens Displeasure was expressed to- day by local optometrists about a letter, sent the president of the Optomet: Association of Ontario, urging them to de- sign their donations to the Com- munity Chest in such a way that they avoid supporting the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. R: P. Bobier of Barrie, Asso- ciation president, who sent let- ters to 400 members of the or- ganization, said he ordered the move because CNIB literature in the Owen Sound area directs persons with eye trouble to con- sult only ophyhalmologists, doc- tors specializing in eye care. The circulars, he said, do not mention optometrists, eye care specialists who have no medical degrees, "T do not believe Mr. Bobier speaks for the association in this particular instance," stated J. A. Ovens, a member of the local advisory board. 'It was a psy- chological blunder on Mr. Bobier's part." Mr. Ovens said no CNIB lit- erature of the type mentioned has shown up in Oshawa. He added that Mr. Bobier sent out |the letter, not J. W. Duffie, the association secretary. "We wouldn't think of being opposed to the CNIB organiza- tion at all," commented A. E. Johnson, another Oshawa 0 p- tometrist, '"Nhe letter was def- initely not approved by the asso- ciation." "The less said about this the better," concluded Mr. Ovens.
