Kirby Suggests New Blood for Board of Education The meetings of the Oshawa Pro- perty Owners' Association, post- poned during the summer months, were resumed last night with a meeting held in W. R. Fleming's office with a fair crowd in atten- dance. The President, A. Durle, opened the meeting, following which a humorous satire on Land- lords and Tenants was given by M. Penfound and several short mono- logues by Alfred Henning. F, O. Kirby, main speaker of the evening, based his remarks chiefly on a review of civic affairs of the past year, dwelling chiefly on mat ters pertinent to the Board of Edu- cation, He had only praise for the Managing Director of The Times« Gazette, A. R. Alloway, for attempt- ing to stop the Board of Education holding its meetings in camera. Mr. Kirby suggested that the ine creased assessment on land in Osh- awa (only recently increased) might be attributed in part to the vicious price asked for land for the new School in the east end of the Oity. He attributed the increased attendance at the Collegiate to the fact that many young men and women are attending High School as there are no jobs avallable at the present time. Says New Blood Needed Mr. Kirby also stressed the need of new blood in Board of Educa- tion and criticized the Board for spending $17,000 for architectural plans for the proposed school, only to postpone building same, He ad- vanced the question that possibly at such time this school was start- ed, new plans and additional ex- penses would be in order, The speaker also condemned the Public Utilities Commission for erecting a storage shed so near the centre of the city, and expressed the need of an active Planning Commission to prevent this, The 'business trip" of the Mayor and other civic offi- clals to Toledo was strongly con= demned as purely a pleasure jaunt, CIVIC AFFAIRS (Continued on Page 2) Local Contractor Receives Material From Nobel Plant A small quantity of building ma- terial from the Defence Industries Ltd. plant at Nobel, which is being demolished to provide materials for veterans' housing, has been received by Sam Jackson and Son, local con- tractors, W, 8.

Mr. Byrnes spoke at a luncheon of the American Club in Paris, "After every great war which has been won by the combined efforts of many nations, there has been a conflict among the allies in the making of peace," Mr, Byrnes said in his prepared address. "It would be foly to deny the seriousness of the conflict in viewpoints among the Allies after this war, "To ignore that conflict or mini- mize its seriousness will not solve the conflict nor help up along the road to peace, "To exaggerate that conflict and its seriousness, on the other hand, only makes more difficult the reso- lution of the conflict. "I concur most heartily in the view recently expressed by General {ssimo Stalin that there is no im mediate danger of war. I hope that his statement will put and end to e char, that any: nation or group of nations is seek ing to encircle the Soviet Union, or that the responsible leaders of the Soviet Union so believe." He added the hope that en, Stal- in's words would dispel "the un« warranted charges that the United States is seeking to use its posses- sion of the atomic bomb as a threat of force against the Soviet Union." However, Mr, Byrnes sald, Ameri can foreign policy will continue to follow a strong line, "Just because war is not now ime minent, we must take the greatest care not to plant the seeds of a future war, We must seek less to defend our actions in. the eyes of those who agree with us, and more to defend our actions in the: eyes of those who do not agree with us" SCOTTISH RITE NAMES OFFICERS A.
