Club presi- dent Stan Lovell is holding Andre. George Charlton, (in next picture from left) chats 95 Boys, Rotary G A blind man would never have realized that the 95 boys and girls at the annual Rotary Club of Oshawa's Christmas party Tuesday were crippled. They sang. They laughed. They greeted Santa with warm enthusiasm; one could not help but notice how happy they despite their physical handicaps. "They look forward to this; party all year," said George Charlton, chairman of the club's Crippled Children committee. Mr. Chariton should know. A polio victim at the age of four, he attended a similiar Christ- mas party sponsored by Rotary 28 years ago. This is Mr. Charlton's second year to head up the Crippled Children committee. His father, Wilbert Charlton, was chair- man of the same committee a number of years ago. | Mr. Charlton said each child has a Rotarian assigned to him to look after him at Rotary functions - - about three each year.

Benson, in- ternational representative of the United Auto Workers. He attended a meeting of the autoworkers section of the Inter- national Metalworkers' Federa- tion, held at Frankfurt, Ger- many, and was later a delegate at the IMF conference, held at Vienna, Austria. As a member of a team head- ed by Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, Mr. Benson took part in discussions which dealt exclusively with the problems of the automotive in- dustry. Delegates from all coun- tries of the free world attended the conference, Mr, Benson said that the dele- gates discussed the international ramifications of the Big Four auto manufacturers, Chrysler, Ford, GM and Daimler-Benz. 'We found that each union had the same problems," Mr. Ben- son said, "unemployment caused by _ technological change. $1 PER DAY } "We also found, through the discussions and seminars, that wages are very poor in the de- veloping countries.

Mr. Charlion revalied a' story that occurred after last year's party to a Rotarian as he was driving one of the children home. "The boy had wanted a book on electronics," he said, "so the Rotarian encouraged him to open his present." Opening the gift the lad was delighted to find it was a book on this very subject. He pro-| ceeded to explain electronics "which was way over the Rotarian's head" for about 20) minutes. | It is not unusual that a child! will receive what he wants for| Christmas from Rotary.

Executive secretary Robert Branch said today the final results of the General Motors canvass will be a split into groups which attempt- ed to work out ways and means of establishing an international bargaining system for auto workers. "'It will take time and effort to get such a system working," Mr, Benson said, "but we have taken the first step forward." Problems of metalworkers in the free countries were brought to the floor of the, convention and resolutions on social and economic problems were passed, "All governments were urged to recognize the basic require- ments of Trade Union freedom," Mr. Benson said, "'the rights of workers to form and maintain free, independent and -demo- cratic trade unions, free collec- tive bargaining, and the right to strike." RAP ATTITUDE He said that: the conference protested against reactionary conditions in Spain and urged all free countries not to enter into any agreement with the Franco regime because of its attitude taken towards the workers. "Many other important reso- lutions were made," Mr. Benson said, "'and-the conference closed on a note which sounded the duty of the developed countries to aid the emerging nations." He stated that the conference pointed out the advance made by trade unions in the past few years. "It was one of the finest conferences I have ever attend. ed," he added; "but we still have a long way to go in our efforts to overcome the exploita- tion of the workers."
