New Canadians (Continued from Page 1) two French-Canadians, two Eston- lans, two Ukrainians, one Chinese and one Lithuanian. They will be taught by Dorothy Wilkins, a language specialist. To learn to be Canadians, whole families registered for the course. Youngest was Klaas Heycoop, aged three, who was registered with his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Marius Heycoop, of R.R. 1, Newtonville. The Heycoops came to Canada from West Holland in May and already yi Klaas knows a few words of English. His mother and father can just get by with the English they know but they feel confident that by the time they are the course they will be able to speak as good Eng- lish as anyone, Largest family to register was the Bumas, The father and moth- er, Symon and Elizabeth Buma, three daughters, Hetty, Rosie and Gertrude and one son, Peter, were all ready and eager to sign up last night. And behind them, at the farm of W. Bowles, Nestleton, where they live and work, they left four more children, William, 19; Trixie, 16; Tina, 15 and Effie, 10 to whom they will transfer their les- sons in citizenship, The Bumas have been in Cana- da for four months and they think there is no other country like -it. They were "a little scared" when they first came over here but their neighbors have been so friendly and helpful that they have now lost their shyness. They are on a dairy farm--"like back home"--and they feel that they are doing a good job. . 'Hetty likes cooking but she finds that she has to readjust her recipes for Canadian palates. "The cooking here is quite dif- ferent," she said. "At home we cook more bread and puddings -- here you eat more fruit. But I like eating fruit. But Hetty's mother is the cook of the Yamily. They all clustered around and sang praises of her "Festival Soup." "It has meat, vermicelli, carrots, peas, cauliflower, celery and every- thing you can think of in it," said Hetty, the spokesman. "It's so ood." And to attest to Mrs. Buma's flair for cooking, Albert Werkema, also from the Netherlands, who now works on the farm of Charles Naylor at Hampton, chimed in with "She really knows how to make the festival soup." Albert is a specialist in grain and dairy farming. A Dutch father and son who came here in May and who regis- tered for the night classes was Jan Hoekstra from the Netherlands and his 14-year-old son, Johann. Both of them know plenty about dairy cattle and they are working on the farm of Carl Payne, R.R. 3, New- castle. All the new students are deter mined that by the time the course was over they would know Canada and be good Canadian citizens. And they were encouraged in this alm by Principal A. E. O'Neill of O.C.V.I "I hope you will feel at home here and give us a chance to teach you English" he said. "We want you to learn Canadian citizenship. Don't be shy--ask me or your teacher anything you want® || London Student Party Visiting General Motors Prom a stowaway to a left-behind --that's the story of Ken Connolly, of London, Ontario, Ken was an uninvited guest on last year's annu-~ al tour of the Oshawa Creneral Mo. tors plants by London High School students. This year he was invited --and missed thq bus. All is well, however, for Ken managed to catch the party by chasing the bus in a truck. Ken is one of a group of eighty students brought to Oshawa each year by the courtesy of Maquire Motors Limited and London Motor Products Limited, General Motors dealers in 'London. The group is in Oshawa today to be taken on a conducted tour of the automobile plant, Many of the students, drawn {from five London high schools, are studying motor mechanics as part of their regular technical school course, and 39 of the 80 represent the H. B. Beal Technical and Come mercial High School. Others were selected for their interest and apti- tude for mechanical work. With the students are represen- tatives of the two London firms sponsoring the trip, including Roy Bailey, President of London Motof Products Limited; T. E, Holmes, Vice-President and General Mana- ger; and Al Wickett, Service Mana- ger. From Maguire Motors, James Potter, Sales Manager, and T. E. Roberts, Assistant Manager, are present, Representing the London Board of Education is J. P. S. Neth- ercott, Director of Vocational Guid- ap for the City of London. 0 accompanying the group are several London teachers, one from each of the schools. represented, They are M. L. Entwhistle, London Central Collegiate; L. C. Jacksoa, London South Collegiate; C. A. Pritchard, 8ir Adam Beck Collegi- ate; Brother Edwin, De La Salle High School; and R. F. Bessent and W. A. Spencer, H B. Beal Technical and Commercial High School. Arriving ip Oshawa this morn- ing, the group were given 2 lunch- eon at the Hotel Genosha by cour- tesy of Maguire Motors and London Motor Products Limited. The stud- ents will also attend a dinner to be given by General Motors this even- ing, at which Willlam A. Wecker, President of General Mators of Canada Limited, is expected to be present, The tour of the factory was under the direction of Norman Millman of the Service Promotion Department of General Motors of Canada. Red Issue (Continued from Page 1) Labor - = Progressive (Communist) Party. "My party will continue," he said, "to impress on the workers' minds what we consider the best means to a solution of their problems . . . "This resolution may oarry but it won't settle the issue because Red- baiting isn't going to settle any- thing." Boos and Catcalls He added, amid boos and catcalls: "I say that the Communist party needs no defence from me. You who try to indict the Communist party stand indicted yourselves." Brida Gray of Toronto, president of a brass workers' local union, said, supporting the resolution: "I'm not much of a speaker, but at least I'm honest." She felt sure the con- vention would write the resolution into its policy. x E. E. Leary of Vancouver, supe porting Mr. Harris' stand, said: "I'll be. a Communist even when they lick me to death in the con- centration camps you at this cone vention are preparing for us." A steel worker delegate, William Mahoney of Vancouver, said Mr. Leary's suggestion "that we're send- ing them to concentration camps is foolish." "When you're ready to put the in- terests of the trade-union move- ment ahead of the interests of Rus- sia, we'll welcome you in this Con- gress," he said to Communist op- ponents of the resolution, "Your record is rotten . . ." Mr, Mahoney said he isn't as en- thused as he used to be about fight- ing Communism, "because I never like hitting a fellow when he's licked." Clean Out Communists There was a brief uproar as Mr. Mosher sought to introduce Pat Conroy, CCL Secretary-Treasurer, as the next speaker. A delegate asked that a Drumheller, Alta. mine worker be heard. He urged delegates to vote according to their conscience, Mr, Conray said "the job of this Congress is to clean out Commun- ists and put it back on a trade- union basis." "We can't fight the boss with one hand tied behind our backs." Mr. Conroy predicted the vote on the resolution would "separate the sheep from the goats and put this Congress back on a trade wudion basis." "I ask every delegate to make sure, not only in this convention but back home, that this job now well started is completed." The resolution was carried de- cisively over the same minority which has voted the Communist line on similar issues, There was another noisy session as the minority yelled its disap- roval. Mr. Mosher, rapping his gavel for order, sald heatedly: "Those of you who are not satis- filed with the decision of the vast majority are invited to leave the hall." i The fuss subsided. It was the third big flare 'up on Communism in three days, Ik ar GATEMAN FINED Ottawa, Oct. '13--(CP)--Patrick McNamara, 62, Canadian National Railways gateman at g midtown street crossing, was fined $100 and costs in city court Tuesday for be- ing drunk while on duty, a Community Chest (Continued from Page 1) and said that he thought the view- point of the labouring man had not properly been represented. view, ously expressed by Mr. Wil- ams, M.P., was that it was not a matter of "selling" to the labouring man--it was rather a matter of having him realize his responsibili- ties in a community-wide campaign. Mr. Connors, who made his views very clear to the meeting, was re- plied to by Campaign Manager Johnston who pointed out that the last thing the executive of the Community Chest wanted was to pit one strata in the community life against another. It was, he said, a "crusade" of the community as a whole. In order to achieve the ob- jective, which would in the long run benefit all equally, everyone had to pitch in together. 7 Mr. Hopkins prefaced the meet- ing with an outline of the history of the Community Chest. Started in 1940 it had grown in momentum ever since, he said. The essential greater knowledge of the merciful idea of the meeting was to'promote objectives of the campaign and to draw constructive suggestions from those present. He thought that "greater scope" and "greater action" was needed. The citizens of Oshawa must be made to realize that it was not a matter of whom would re- ceive but the knowledge that all would accrue benefits. The campaign was not only con- fined to Oshawa 'this year, Mr. Hopkins pointed out. This year the municipality of East Whitby was included, and a metropolitan can- vass being made. Allocations Cut To Bone Formerly, said Mr. Alger, Chair- man, making clear the report of the budget committee, only one committee had determined the bud- get. This year, it was felt, it should be left to the whole executive. He emphasized the fact that the ap- propriations of the various organiz- ations participating in the drive had been cut to the absolute mini- mum. Budgets had been pared at two executive meetings until only the minimum requirements were in- cluded. "I feel," said Mr. Alger, "that this budget represents the actual mini- line with which the public would support. At this point a few statistics were given: Last year's objective was $89,000. Over $96,000 was raised -- a rating of $3.57 per capita -- the highest in Canada. It was also pointed out that last year East Whitby Township conducted a sep- arate campaign. This year the cam- paigns of the township and the city had been amalgamated, Publicity Committee Chairman George Fletcher, after a historical sketch of the publicity problems en- countered by various campaign committees, stressed the fact that what the Community Chest was trying to do was sell "a happy ex- istence to as many people as were within its reach." ! He pointed out to the various representatives that there was al- ways some opportunity--often lost --Wwhen the advantages and virtues of the Community Chest could he pointed out and that thereby valu- able publicity would be gained. School Program Expanded The school program had been tremendously expanded, he said. In this campaign every child that could read and write would be made acquainted with what was going on. There would be ® "Red Feather Pupil" selected in the secondary school. He would be chosen on the basis of two talks made before as- semblies. In primary schools some- what the same sort. of campaign would be instituted. There would, in addition, be a "Campaign Chest" which would be opened when the "Campaign Drive Thermometer" reached its objective. What the chest would disclose was not as yet known, ' Paying tribute to work which' had been done in the past, A. R. Alloway, long connected with the Community Chest and campaign for relief of the needy in this community, said that there was public acceptance of the work which now was being done. He was glad, he said, that the children were being taught to convey the message to their parents = Jledgad pine support of the or- ation he represent Li Times- Gazette.

She put a word in for the St. Johns' Ambulance Brigade and pointed out that such groups as the Children's Aid, the St. Johns' Am- bulance and the Rooms Registry of the YW.CA. were completely in- tegrated in their activities.

Working people got tired of the "give, give, give" angle he said. The objectives of the cam- paign 'were something any human would want to do but it was a matter of taking the "Cadging" curse off the campaign, ° Mr. Williams pointed out there were "a host of people" who were not touched by the campaign, He would, he said, like to see more labour people represented at the meeting. One of the reasons, he thought, why there were so few labour people there was because of the two big labour meetings taking place at the present time, one in Toronto, the other in Victoria, Try," said Mr. Williams, "to en- courage all these valuable and es- sentially Christian , undertakings. I'll do all in my power to help." Hayden Macdonald spoke brief- ly as did Mrs. R. B. Smith, De- scribing some of the work done in East Whitby Township, Deputy- Reeve Willlam Noble said® that there were now seven recreational parks in operation in the township under the jurisdiction of six differ- ent organizations. The township had | a public health nurse and various other recreational activities for children and adults alike. Story after humorous story was used by Campaign Manager John- ston to preface his remarks. The joining of East Whitby and Oshawa was, he thought, "the first step to- wards annexation". He introduced the slogan: "The Community Chest --It's Yours--Fill It!" : Mayor Frank McCallum was called. At the beginning of 1946, said he, there were seven parks and playgrounds in the city. Today there were seventeen. At the last meeting of council it was decided to add one and a half more to the north- eastern section of the city, and in addition, a "Tots' Park", It meant more money but the city, spreading it over a long period, was finding a way. Tells Court Of Highway Chase Pleading not guilty to charges of careless driving and failing to re- mi at the scene of an accident, G.\G.

Greer, K.C., and the hearing of Svidence will contiriue on October L. 8. Palmer, 235 King Street East, Oshawa, told the court that on Augiht 19, he was proceeding west on No. 2A Highway near West- hill when a truck cut in front of his car and forced his vehicle and another car into the north. ditch. "I immediately looked at the damage and then took after the truck. which had failed to stop," said Palmer. "A car had passed me when I was stopped and had man- aged to get in front of the truck and was attempting to wave him down, as I approached. The truck finally slowed down to about 10 miles an hour when all of a sudden it spurted ahead and crashed into the left side of the car ahead, forc- ing the car into the ditch."

Sir Hartley Shawcross, addressing the 58-member political committee of the United Nations, declared Russia's offer to lay her cards on the table if a Soviet armaments pro- posal was adopted "won't do." Resuming the debate on Russia's proposal for a one-third reduction in armaments within a year, Sir Hartley said Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky was trying to do away with the Iron Curtain by denying it existed, "What a tremendous contribution it would be to confidence in Europe if the Soviet countries would open the doors, lift the curtains, and let travellers from other countries get to know and make friends with the warm-hearted and generous people of Russia and to understand the great problems they have to face," Sir Hartley said. "One word from Russia: One lit- tle word--'stop'--would enable these troubled countries to put their own houses in order and to build them. selves up in democratic peace and security--one little word -- and it does not come." He asked if the Soviet Union, to restore international trust and con- idence, would "call off the secret forces, the fifth column, which is trying to disrupt the economies of many countries of the world." "One state and one state alone is standing in the way of the interna- tional control of atomic energy and of the progress towards convention- al disarmament.," Sir Hartley said. Shawtross called on Russia to take these immediate measures: 1. Let newspaper correspondents move freely in Soviet Russia. 2. Let diplomats travel as they may in "civilized countries." . 3. Freedom for civil aircraft, 4. Let Britain have a diplomatic mission and consulate in Kiev and Minsk, capitals of the Ukraine and Byelo-Russia. 5. Let Western newspapers | available, 6. Let there be exchange broad- casts between Russia and the West. 7. Let us exchange tourists and let our people become friends. 8. Let us gxchange university stu- dents, Soviet Delegate Jakob A. Malik, in an immediate reply to Sir Hartley, accused him of obtaining his argu- ments "from the arsenals of Trot. sky, Hitler, Goering and Goebbels." He said the Shawcross speech was one-third intervention in Soviet do- mestic affairs, one-third "a beating of drums" and the remainder a re- petition of "old and familiar argu- ments."

Parley Fails At McKinnon Toronto, Oct. 18--(CP)--Officials of McKinnon Industries Ltd. of St. Catharines, Ont., and Local 199 of the United Automobile Workers (C.CL.-CI1.0.) failed to settle the three-month strike when they cone ferred Tuesday with Labor Minister Daley. Union officials said the dispute was still deadlocked. Mr, Daley has called a "last meeting" for Thurs ay. The automobile workers strike for higher wages has crippled St. Cath- arines' largest industry since July 14 and has kept some 2,650 employees out of work. The union first asked for a 26- cents-an-hour pay increase. Sept. 2 this demand was cut to 18 cents an hour for day-rate workers and 15 cents for piece workers, The com- pany offered a 12-cent boost. Rural Cut-Offs (Continued from Page I) = which I or the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission can do about it." Much more drastic power cut-offs were seen for the rural area gove erned by the local Public Utilities Commission unless consumption came within the quota of 32,425 kilowatt hours, said Mr. Shreve. Mr. Shreve said that in the past the rural area had been as much as 41 per cent over quota. Drastic cut-offs were employed and the figures finally brought down to a reasonable basis. Yesterday, for ex- ple, total consumption was 39,880 K.W.H. or 7455 in excess of quota --a perc ge of 4.23. : Consumption in the City of Osh- awa yesterday was 223,760. That figure indicated that 12,760 X.W.H. were used over quota or a percent age of 6.05. "We have had complaints from the rural area but there is nothing we can do," said Mr. Shreve. ™If they won't come down voluntarily .|we must cut them down."
