I was asked by the Board of Parks Commissioners to write an ac- "knowledgment to you expressing the appreciation of the members for this public recognition of their voluntary work, The writer of this editorial evi- Fosmony of a dently has gone to a lot of work|' in preparing this article and has a thorough grasp of the local sit- uation, and he would undoubtedly make a splendid addition to our body when a vacancy occurs, Too often the work of the vol. untary workers in any branch of service is taken for granted, and the public do not appreciate the amount of effort that is expended "0 "their behalf, and it is l-earten- ing to all municipal groups to read your words of appr .lation. Yours very truly, * FRED D. MAUNDRELL. Chairman, Board of Parks Commissioners. 281 Division Street, Oshawa, Ontario, SELF GOVERNMENT PLAN New Delhi -- (CP) -- A scheme for municipal self-government, whereby each village will have an assembly with every adult, man and woman, in its membership, has been announced by Dr. KX.

Until 1911 he resided in Scarboro Township where he was employed by the Grand - Trunk Railway, He then took up farming at Thornton's Cor- ners before moving to Taunton in 1916 where he continued farming until he moved to North Oshawa in 1926. He moved to Port Perry five years ago. From 1926 to the time of his death he was employed by Gen- eral Motors, Besides his wife, he leaves to mourn his passing five daughters, and three soms, all of Oshawa; Mrs. Ethel Roberts, Mrs. Gladys Chal- mers, Mrs. Elsie Cain, Mrs. Mary Jones, Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins, and Harry, Charles and Harold.

Pickering Health Board Backs Seal Campaign A desire to further publicize the Kiwanis Club T.B. Christmas seal drive was expressed at a meeting of the Pickering Town- ship Board of Health last night. It vas felt that in tho past Pie- kering Township had not respon- ded to the drive as well as it might have owing to lack of un- derstandiny as to its purpose and it was decided to write to David Jamieson, chairman of the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club's T.B. Commit- tee, for suggestions as to publicity in the local press, It was stressed that the pro- ceeds of the sale of the seals In Pickering Township were towards the holding of a T.B. X-ray sur- vey in Pickering similar to that now being conducted in Oshawa. 'Winnie' 72, Very Robust London, Nov. 30--(AP)--~In excel- lent health and entertaining no ideas of retirement, Winston Churchill observed his 72nd birth- day today, so busy that only modest celebration plans were made. The wartime Prime minister, now actively leading the Conservative Opposition in the House of ' Com- mons and championing a federated Europe and world collaboration within the framework of the Unit- ed Nations, will be feted tonight at a family dinner to be attended by a few intimate friends. ' Associa- tes said Mr. Churchill entertained no ideas of retirement. The Times-Gazette clascitied ads, bring quick results, The Guests Are Still Talking About The Meal Residents of the farming community surrounding Oshawa have always had a splendid reputation for the calibre of the meals they serve, but members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club who attended the District Sod Busters banquet at Columbus last night would be willing to go out on a limb to the effect that it was the best ever. The upper picture shows one of the tables and gives a very clear idea of the wealth of are provided for the enjoyment of those who attended. The happy faces show that the many good things to eat were appreciated. The Times: Gazette paid a visit to the kitchen where a group of women were busy preparing the meal. Mrs, G. Scott is shown stirring the turnips. --Photos by Campbell's Studio Vote On School (Continued from Page 1) were present except Ald, Rae Hal- liday and also T. K. Creighton, K C., city solicitor, and Eldon Kerr, assessment commissioner Outlining the legal procedure the city solicitor said the city might pass a money bylaw, subject only to the approval of the Municipal Board, if it refused to do this, the Board might ask the council to submit the question to a vote of the ratepayers. Asked by Mayor McCallum if the Boand was satisfied this was the least amount required, Trustee Lov- edd, head of the delegation, said it was. As for the proportion to be paid by the government it was pointed out that this would amount to $308,- 000, to be paid in 20 yearly instal- ments. Of the total asked for it was pointed out that the estimate of the cost of the Ritson addition was $195,000. The $880,000, included the equipment for thé new school and the Ritson addition. Declaring that he dida't think 2 bylaw for so large an amount would pass, Ald. F. M, Dafoe had put forth an alternative plan which he con- . | sidered the taxpayers would approve and so make possible the beginning of a school building program. He expressed the view that it was the south-east ward that was going to grow and he felt if about half the proposed sum were expended on a school in this area it would take care of the situation for a few years. Then a smaller school might be built in the Roxborough area. He added that there appeared to be comparatively little room for growth in that area, while there was in the south-east ward. The site he suggested was bound- ed by Eulalie, Central Park Blvd. S,, Vimy and Cadillac Avenues, having an area of approximately seven acres, Thanking Ald. Dafoe for his in- terest, Trustee Lovell stressed the importance of the auditorium and kindergarten facilities in any mew school and Trustees Naylor and Mrs. Colpus also urged the need for kindergarten space. "There hasn't been a school built in Oshawa for 23 years and for years I have been fighting to get rid | of Albert St. and Mary St.--they have been up for 75 years. We aren't interested in a stop-gap," Trustee Lovell declared. Trustee Naylor pointed also to the new trends in education requiring additional accommodation. Trustee Souch said he liked Da- foe's idea but it was "putting the cart before the horse" as far as the Board's program was concerned. Mrs, Colpus, explaining there was only one home economics and one manual training centre in the city, asked what part of the school Ald. Dafoe would omit. He said he could fot say without seeing the plans, but he felt the south-east area would eventually need a school of the size proposed for Roxborough. Asked by Trustee Fletcher if he pris Bo it would be as economical to build a school in two sections, as he proposed, he said he thought it would. Trustee Fletcher said he felt the Board had to look to future needs. If the public isn't willing to accept the plan, it is up to the Board and all public spirited bodies to explain it to the public. "You have 26 classrooms south of King Street and 59 north of it," Dr, Donevan said, adding' that the need was not the most serious there. The Board's policy, he said, was to get schools out of the cenrte of the city and it was realized a school would eventually b# needed in the south-east and this was why not too large an addition was proposed for Ritson School. . While complementing the Board on having long range plans, Ald. Dafoe said there was nevertheless the problem of what the people would accept at the present time. "Do you realize we have nearly 600° pupils to go into this school as soon as it goes up? Dr. Donevan asked, Inspector McEwen said the situa- tion in the north was not only bad now but had every prospect of get< ting worse. By next year, four of the 10 rooms at North Simcoe would be devoted to Grades I and II while there was also a larger primary enrolment at Mary and King St, and this year, three grade 'I classes at Ritson. He sald that by building farther east there would be no chance of relieving the Cedar dale situation. Stating he felt the Board of Edu- cation had spent a log time con- sidering this problem and he agreed with it, Ald. A. G. Davis said he was prepared to move 'that the council present the Board's plan to the property owners at the January election. Asked. by Ald. Starr if it would be wise to separate the Ritson and Roxborough questions, Trustee Lov- ell declared the Board would not divide the two, that it would "stand or fall" on its program. Regarding the secondary school, Dr. Donevan said the present two shift system at the O.C.V.I. was being watched closely by the Dept. of Education and if it proved satis- factory, the new secondary school might be deferred a few years. He said it had only been the Board's intention to seek approval for the project before proceeding with plans and specifications. The city clerk pointed out that a general plebiscite of this kind would be voted on by the municipal electors as a whole rather than by just the taxpayers. The mayor added that regardless of what was done there had to be an architect engaged before any definite action could be taken and he felt it was out of line to ask the question suggested. The conclusion was that the |. Board would be prepared to drop the vote 'on the secondary school if a letter were received from council brn B their approval of the Board's proceeding with plans for the secondary schools. Polish Vets (Continued from Page 1) especially the snow, as most of them have not seen any snow for many years. . It was seven years since they had been in Poland, they said, having been driven out by the Germans and taken refuge in Russia where they formed a Polish Army under Gen- eral Anders. Later they went to the Near East, fought in North Africa and all through the Italian cam- paign. Many were wearing the Mon- te Casino Cross and other awards given for the Italian campaign. » The ages of these army men range from 21 to 30 and they are all ingle. They have had experience in farming not only in Poland but during the war in England. Employ- ment officials ' sald the previous group of 11 who arrived here last week had been doing very satisfac- tory on the farms to which they had been allotted and many farmers were looking for more. They said that an educational program was being worked out for these men by their department in conjunction with the Board of Education and that the local Polish groups were doing all they could to entertain and acclimatize the new men.

Mr. King sald he felt there was too much being said these days about possible retirements and about who was to lead the party in the next general election, The Prime Minister said that if the liberal party's organization had been "what it should have been", it would not have lost by-elections in Pontiac, Portage La Prairie and Toronto Parkdale. He paid tribute to Mr, St. Laur- ent as a key figure in averting the resignation of the government in Re November 1944, conscription. crisis. CHIMNEYS FOR SPIRES Oxford, England =~ (CP) -- E. Ww. Gilbert, reader in human geog- raphy at 'Oxford University, says this "city of spires" is in danger of be¢oming a "city of chimneys" through industrialization. | Urge Couples To Take Second Look' At Tax Scale Before One Quits Ottawa, Nov. 30 --(CP) --While protests flow to the Revenue De- partment against the decrease next year in the tax exemptio; 'mar- ried,_women, officials of the Cana- dian glia Council and National Employment Service counsel marri- ed couples--both working--to . take another squint at the new tax regu- lations. The nurse and teacher, for in- stance, who have considered tossing aside starched apron and white chalk for a printed pinny and pan in the kitchen may discover it still pays to work™--even if the husband must start digging down where it hurts after his wife makes more than $250. It's the consensus of people who go into such things with pencil, pad and a flare for figuresgthat it will cost the working couple ap- roximately $100 extra in taxes if the wife keeps her job. Asked. for an opinion of the new regulations, officials of the Cana- dian Welfare Council referred to a recent survey by the Toronto Wel- fare council, The survey, made available to similar organizations in other parts of Canada, carries examples of tax calculations illustrating the net po- sition of husband and wife in 1946 and 1947. Under 1946 taxation plans, a mar. ried woman could receive an in- come of $660 before her husband's exemption of $1,600 was affected. The provision reducing the $660 to $250 becomes effective Jan. 1. "While the husband pays more tax in 1947, he does pay so little more than the total net position amount left after tax payment) of his wife and himself taken together, it is not very much less than the situation in 1946," the report said. The examples showed that "with a wife earning $1,200, and the hus- band $2,500, the total amount which they will have left in 1947 will be only $84.50 less than in 1946." Ane other example of a wife earning $1,- 700, with a husband earning $3,000, showed that in 1947 the pair would have only $68.50 less than it receiv- ed for this year, The report concluded: "The to- tal amount of net loss in a typical case will be something of the order of $60 to $90." It added that "if there is a de- pendent child in the family, the ad- ditional exemption of $100 for the husband plus the family allow will just about make up the eas ate loss which the new tax situation involves." The report shows that a husband in the $2,000-$4,000-a-year income class will benefit by a $200 drop in his tax if his wife stops On the other hand "this $200 mi be balanced against the $1,100 to $1,700 which will be lost if the wife leaves her employment." Nevertheless fear has been ex- pressed in some areas that the new tax exemption will mean a whole- sale withdrawal of married women essential in many industries where there are not sufficient unmarried women and where the jobs cannot be done by men, The registered Nurses Association of Ontario has appealed to its mem- bers .to take no immediate action. It claims that nurses' incomes, ev- en when additional income taxes were considered, still left them a considerable financial reward, In the rural areas the farmer's wife isn't paying much attention to this urban fracas. Officials of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture say the new exemption is approxi- mately what a farmer's wife 1s per- mitted on the money she makes from the sale of produce grown in her garden, of eggs from the hens she has raised, or the dairy pro- ducts from the cows she milks daily, Cornwall Opens New Club House Cornwall, Nov, 30. --(CP)-- In a ceremony attended by Mayor Aaron Horovitz and the city council, a new club house was opened at King George Park here. The club house, fashioned out of a former army hut, will serve members of Corn- wall's " our citizens of tomorrow organization," which has a mem- bership of more than 500.
