"We refrer inquiries to their family physicians," said H. G. Chesebrough, welfare administrator. 'But, I feel we should have pam- phlets on birth control avail- able for distribution on re- quest." *'At the moment the health department does not have birth control information available "for distribution," Says Dr. C. C..Stewart, Med- ical Officer of Health. "But, I think the Board of Health should take the mat- ter under consideration and establish a policy," said Dr. Stewart, adding that he will bring the matter up at the March 11 board meeting. Mr. Chesebrough said if a doctor gives a welfare re- cipient. a prescription for birth control pills, the wel- fare department will pay the cost, "But, we can't read pre- scriptions so we don't know how many pill prescriptions we are paying for," he said. ON CITY PAYROLL Prior to 1940, no three persons in a closer family r ip industry for 18 years before joining the city, Mr. Fleming than second cousins could. be employed by the City of Osh- awa. A bylaw covering this em- ployment exemption was sus- pended in 1940 so the city could hire required help during the war years, when manpower was short, says Daniel Fleming, city personnel officer. Oshawa has had 21 different mayors and a population in- crease of 53,379 since the com- munity was incorporated as a city in 1924. W. J. Trick was the first mayor of the City of Oshawa and the community then had a population of 16,659. The city's population is now 70,038. Lyman Gifford, the city's present mayor, has served as mayor of Oshawa longer than any other person, five years, and he has started the first year of an additional two-year term. Michael Starr, the riding's current member of parliament, served as mayor for four years. Ww. J. Naylor, now a city wel- fare department employee, also served as mayor of the city for four years. of} Former mayors. Mrs. Chris- tine Thomas and Norman Down are present members of Oshawa city council. Population Jumps 53,379 Since '24 Incorporation of East Whitby township was annexed in 1951 the population jumped to 40,727; in 1955 the population was 47,351 and in 1960, 60,146. The earliest population figure listed in the annual city assess- ment department report is 4,021 in 1874. Lumber Dealers To Visit Oshawa More than 100 members of the Ontario Retal Lumber Dealers Association will visit Oshawa March 10, The group is to hold its 1965 convention in Toronto March 8-10 inclusive. Their Osh- The suspension was not lifted after the war and for more than 20 years it was still in effect until council finally repealed the bylaw about oné year ago. Mr, Fleming said the bylaw also prevented a married couple from being employed by the city at the same time. "Every job opening, where we can, we give preference to local residents," said Mr. Flem- ing, who celebrated his eighth anniversary as city personnel officer this week. 'There is a fair turnover of female staff but the male staff is pretty con- stant." At present the city has 750 full-time employees on its pay- roll along with about 100 part- time employees such as school crossing guards. Minimum sal- ary for full-time employees is $3,500 while the highest salary was the $14,000 a year paid to the former director of opera- tions, Kevin Cahill. has a variety of duties. He interviews all prospective employees and has the final say on hiring everyone except de- partment heads, who are hired by city council. He maintains all the personnel records and rec- ords dealing with employee ben- efit plans, administers all sal- or changes and is responsible for preparing reports, statistics, charts and calcylations of wage rates. Employee counselling is an- other 'aspect of his job. "It's just amazing the number of employees that have. particu- lar problems," he said. 'The variety is tremendous, there is never a dull moment. 'In no way, shape or form can a personne! officer's job be considered routine. You think you've heard of everything but then something else comes up." He recalled an incident, when war-time security measures were in force, and he was per- sonnel supervisor for an indus- try in northern Ontario, One day police walked into his office and said 'hey wanted a certain' man, Mr. Fleming pointed him out and the police took him away.

The sticks and skates are put away but not forgotten. Just for a few hours each day the boys have to turn to books and paper. High-scoring defenceman Bobby Orr, Jim Whittaker and Armand Giroux are all studying at McLaughlin Collegiate. Does hockey hurt their school- ing? Not so, thinks Stanley Fin- bow, vice-principal at McLaugh- lin. "If anything, schooling helps their hockey. "All these boys know they have to do well in school or they know I'll be calling Wren Blair," he added. Wren Blair is the general Manager of the Generals and responsible for the out-of-town players while they art in Osh- awa. "In the last three years the | school has been open," he con- tinued, "I have never had any call to contact Wren on any dis- ciplinary matters." How do the players fit in with the other students? 'Very well," says Arnold Schell, vice- principa] at O'Neill THEY'RE ACCEPTED "Here they are. just accepted as members of the gang," went on. O'Neill has seven of the Gen- erals studying at the school. They are Ron Buchanan, Wayne Cashman, Jim Booth, Chris Hayes, Martin Buchar, Bill Ban- nerman, Ian Young and Jim Blair. "And no special treatment is dished out to them just because they are Ron Buchanan, Wayne Cashman or Bill Bannerman or any of the others we have here. The boys seem to like it that way," Mr. Schell said The same thing holds true at McLaughlin. Doug Williams, a former coach of the Generals and now a teacher at O'Neill, said most of the boys' spare time is taken up with hockey. "They all participate in intra- mural sports in the school and attend school dances. TERRIFIC FAN CLUB "They have a terrific fan club in the school and this is due to the boys being in classes with the other students. "The boys are most conscien- tious and always perfect gentle- men," he said. Asked if there were any spe- cial arrangements made for the players to make up missed classes, Mr. Schell said: "No. These boys make up missed he classes on their own time and they try not to miss any more classes than they have to."' Down at McLaughlin Bobby Orr keeps in shape by walking to and from his rooms every day. So does Armand Giroux who - shrugs off the long 2%4-mile walk between home and school as '"'nothing at all". A Grade 10 pupil, Bobby Orr is taking a technical course. If possible he would like to get his Grade 12 before leaving. What would he do if he was not making a future in the hockey world? 'I don't know," says Bobby. "I've never really thought about it."' With hockey playing such a big part in his life, Bobby has little time to stick around the school after hours, He belongs to none of the school clubs. "There is just no time," Bobby explained. 'We have one and a half hours' practice every night we are not playing. BED BY EIGHT "Wren puts a curfew on us, too. If he says 'in bed by eight' he means it and checks up by phone to see if we, are following his instructions. "The curfews vary. For in- instance, if we are not playing on a Saturday night the curfew is probably 11 or 12. 1 have only been caught out onee.' There are regulations about dating, too. '"'Wren doesn't go too much on that. But I must admit that I date a girl occa- sionally. Nothing serious mind you. If the boys decide to go out at all, they usually go in a bunch. Jim Whittaker, taking a four- year technical engineering course, is keen on school, He, too, aims for his Grade 12. He is in his first year with the Generals. If there was no hock- ey future to look forward to Jim would aim for a.teaching job as a physical education master. Armand Giroux is relatively closer to home, his parents liv- ing in Scarborough. He is aim- ing for Grade 13. GETS LITTLE HOMEWORK He finds it tough to keep con- centration on his school work. He gets little homework: and misses very few classes. "It's tough though,"' he added. "You get so tired sometimes during the day. It gets very dif- ficult to keep your mind on your work." " Bobby: Orr has the same trouble. "Hockey plays such a big part in my life that I am thinking about it all the time. I even dream about it," awa, Davis Due At Kiwanis William G. Davis, Minister of Education for Ontario, will be guest speaker at the weekly din- ner-meeting of the Oshawa Ki- ance of Education Week. Mr. Dayis will be introduced by Albert V. Walker, member of the Legislature for Oshawa riding. Mr. Davis, at 33, is the young- est member of the Robarts gov- ernment. As such he is also in charge of the largest spending Department of the Ontario gov- ernment. In spite of his youth, he has had considerable exper- ience in the Education field. A native of Brampton where he} still lives, he received his edu- cation at the Brampton high school, University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. He was call- éd to the Bar in June, 1955. He was Legislature in 1959. $1,000 Grant To Boys' Club A $1,000 grant announced to- day from the Atkinson Chari- table Foundation in Toronto will boost plans 'for a_ library at Oshawa's Simcoe Hall Boys' Club, Officials at the Hall said they applied for the grant about six months ago, and would likely use the money to buy books and library facilities. They said they have been planning to open a library-study room at the Hall since the new building wanis Club Tuesday in observ- i elected to the Ontario Do Oshawa police condone the use of public streets for used car lots?
