Commencing with a musical festival to be given by the Osh- awa Citadel Band, under Band- master Ernest Sargeant and the Belleville Citadel Band, under Bandmaster Jack Green; then continuing into Sunday, with services at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. as well as the. great Veterans Remembrance Service at 2:30 p.m. To conduct these services, the conps is fortunate in having Commissioner and Mrs, Edgar Grinsted, who has just arrived in Canada to assume command of Salvation Army activities. Both the Commissioner and his wife are livelong Saivationists, and for many years have served as officers. The entire series of services holds great promise of | intense interest, and already temendous AT ARMORIES SUNDAY Burt Sl ated As Speaker George Burt, director of the Canadian region for the UAW, will be the key speaker Sunday at the Oshawa Armouries when the General Motors unit of the locla is expected to take a strike vote. Mr. Burt has had much ex- perience in labor negotiations since election fo union office in / 1937, first gaining experience in | the stormy days of 1937. The son of a carpenter con- tractor, he was born in Toronto 61 years ago. Mr. Burt spent some years in Oshawa, working as a plumber, before starting work at GM. During the depression days, work was short for plumbers and when winter came he found himself out of a job. Mr. Burt was then employed as a torch- solderer tn the GM body de- partment. He took an active part in the organizing which brought the Congress of Industrial Organi- zations to Oshawa following the GM strike in 1937. At that time he was the treasurer of Local 222, a post he held for two more years. In 1939, at the International Convention of the UAW-CIO in Cleveland, he was elected direc- tor of the Canadian region, a position to which he has been re-elected at every . convention since. From a membership which had dropped to only a few hund- reds in 1939, the UAW in Can- ada has grown to 65,000 mem- bers, making it one of the langest.unions in Canada. Four Juveniles Apprehended A trip to Kingston via stolen bicycles was cut short by OPP | Bowmanville Thursday in New- castle. Four juvenile: from the Orono} area were apprehended as they slept in a parked car by Con- stable Franci s Dryden, and charged in connection with the theft of four bicycles taken from! Coronation School, Oshawa. | The boys had been missing) from the homes since Wednes- day noon. They told police they had slept} in a car in Burketon on Wed nesday evening, and had--gone on to Bowmanville and New- castle on Thursday. | GEORGE BURT Besides being a veteran mem- ber of the 25-man international executive board of the UAW- CIO, Mr. Burt, from 1950 to 1956, was a vice-president of the Canadian Congress of Labor. In 1949 he was elected vice- president of the Ontario Federa- tion of Labor (CCL) and presi- dent 'n 1951; He was re-elected in 1952 and 1953. Following the merger of the Canadian Congress of Labor and the Trades and Labor > gress of Canada into the Cané- dian Labor Congress in 1056, he was lected regional vice- president and subsequently, gen- eral vice-president of the CLC. Activities on behalf of his union have taker him to many parts of the United States and Canada, to Europe, to Brazil, to Mexico, Costa Rica and other parts of the Americas. He is regarded as one of the ablest UAW bargainers and has led the Canadian UAW in all its major collective bargaining ef- forts. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays this weekend: HIT BY AUTO TWO INJURED Two teen-age Oshawa girls are in satisfactory condition in hospital today after they were struck by a car Friday night.

The Battalion, authorized in October, 1915, raised four com- Whithy and Oshawa, and went overseas in July, 1916, on the HMT Olympic. These reunions, two every three years, have been held in Oshawa over the last 16 years. HISTORY REVIEWED 'Ald, Gordon Attersley, repre- senting Mayor Lyman Gifford, reviewed the battalion's history last night. He told the 'troops" he has a special feeling for the 116th as his father enlisted with the outfit and went overseas with them. The alderman's father died in 1923 of war wounds. He told how he had heard his parents speak often of the exploits of the 116th. "The county can justly claim credit to having been one of the first to fulfil its militia obliga- tions," said Ald, Attersley. "You fought to preserve our way of life,' he told those who came back. "Through your serv- ice and sacrifice you have been able to see your children and your children's children grow to maturity, inheriting a better way of life through your efforts.

Power of 702 Simcoe street south, former postmaster at Cedarvale for 26 years, cele- brates his 86th birthday today. He operated a general store and butcher shop for 37 years. Mr. Power enjoys good health and walks a mile every day "to areas. But there are none we are more proud of than you of the 116th." WARTIME RECORD Here are excerpts from his re- view of the 116th's wartime rec- rd: "When the war broke out in were established the county and almost immediately the 34th Regiment (which grew into the Ontario Regiment) was asked to supply 125 men for the first contingent. keep fit."

The defense of one's faith is something which each must be prepared to make him- self.

This is opposed to changing election of aldermen, now by general (city-wide) vote, where on receipt of a petition signed by at least 400 electors, council must put the question to the people. A petition submitted by the Lake Vista Ratepayers Associa- tion early this year did not have enough signatures when checked against the voters' list. However, last spring council voted almost unanimously to in- clude the question this city elec- tion. . The Public Schools Act says trustees shall (must) be elected on a general vote (Section 29) but provides legal machinery for switching to a ward system vote (Section 31). |NOT FORTHCOMING Such a resolution has to be approved *by a majority of the trustees themselves, and ap- proved by council prior to July. 1 of any year. Or, where council approval is not forthcoming, the board may force council to submit a reso- lution (calling for the change) jto the electorate at the next | municipal election. Onus Is Seen On Trustees been. no official among trustees on changing the method of their election. "IT can see no area where electing trustees on a ward sys- tem basis would improve either the board or its ability to func- tion,"* Mr, Drynan said Thurs- day. "I can see merit in the ward system in a much larger city than Oshawa. But decisions are difficult enough to make. "There is a chance that feel- ing obligation to a specific area could prevent trustees from|,' making a wise decision." Section 29 of the Public Schools Act says board trustees are to be elected by general vote for two-year periods, with half the board retiring each year. The Schools Administration Act (Sec. 54) overcomes the prospect of an annual vote by saying trustees shall be elected | biennially where two-year terms jare provided for a council. Sec. 30 of the Public Schools Act gives these ward system al- ternatives to a general vote: where a municipality is divided into wards, the board. may change to two trustees elected from each. ward, one to retire each year.

It is also good to know the cor- rect views of the atonement, but we must also know what it is to stand in the presence of the Cross, finding forgiveness and God's peace within our hearts.

The progress made in recruiting during the winter was such that by May, 1916, the Bat- talion was 1,145 .

The next month they received orders to take a "'series of mud-holes" on top of Mt. St. Eloi called Dumb- bell Camp. "The attack: was set for the morning of the (April) 9th...

FACE GAS ATTACK In July, just south of Avion, the 116th faced a gas attack. "Chances had to be taken and gas helmete removed, the mouthpiece alone being used. In spite of these conditions, the raid was a major success." In September, the 116th re- lieved the 58th Battalion in the front line (Totnes Trench), about 1,500 yards from the Ger- man front. Total Battalion cas- uaities were 18 officers and 270 other ranks killed, wounded and sing.

To display enthusiastic loyalty for the Master of men we must jof course practice Christianity in our daily lives. We may have all knowledge, all glowing ex- periences, but if we do not fol- low Christ in our daily walk we will be very poor defenders of ithe faith. _It is too easy to carry religion like a spare tire, that we never think of until we have had a flat and have to haul it out to get us out of a jam. Defense cannot be made with spare tire tactics. Defenders of the Faith must step out in front to join forces with the most powerful influence in any age, that of the redeemed, radiant, witness- ing, practising Christian. MOVES HERE Fit.-Lt.
