'The special speaker at yesterday's luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club was Rev. George Tel- ford, minister of St. Andrew's Unit- ed Church, who spoke on the mean ing of @hristmas at this, the last pre-Christmas meeting of the club. Christianity, he said, is based on a great fact, not on a sentiment, as many people seem to think. Even if nothing else were considered, the great advances of Christianity in the past 1900 years would testify that this was the greatest event which ever happened. There are two reasons for this, Mr. Telford said. The first .is that Christ gave a new conception of the creator, as a father, and defined the character of God. Christ takes God's' existence as granted, but shows us the character and reality of His person. Individual Valuable To Community The second reason for the great- ness of the coming of , Christ, he said, was that He gave us a new thought about man himself, that the individual person is the most valu- able thing in the universe. In the time of Christ's life, men were grouped by races, groups, and classes, and not regarded as valuable in themselves. The com- ing of Christ was the one thing which gave the concept of the value of man as an individual. This, according to Mr. Telford, is one of the main reasons why Com- munism is unacceptable to Chris- tians for it denies the rightsof the individual and substitutes the rights of the mass of persons. There is something else that Jesus brought, he said. That is a new kind of force, the power of persuasion and love. For this additional rea- hristians cannot believe in Communism, which advocates the use of violence as a tool of power. Jesus did not write, but proved the value of His teachings by work- ing. He shows conscientious work as the very essence of true marihood. There is no consciousness of the class discrimination which is so followers of Thus, he said, men have a new conception of the value of the liber- ty of every man. And although Jesus says not one word against slavery, it is as a direct result of His teach- ings that William Wilberforce was | able to hear the great news of , 8.

PLIMSOLL LINE Every ship has a Plimsoll mark on its hull showing how low in the wa- ter she can be safely loaded. * | Britain's abolition of slavery only a short time ago. Of special significance to the members of the Rotary Club is the fact that all of the things that Ro- tary stands for are the results of the birth of that bahy, in a stable, 1,900 years ago. Windsor Cabbie Robbed Of $13 'Windsor, Dec. 21--(CP)--A Wind- sor cab driver was held up Mon- day night and robbed of $13 by two passengers, one of whom threaten- ed him with a knife. The hold-up repeated pattern of one re- ported to police in the same area the night before. Jean Paul Marier, 32, a driver for the Sandwich East Cab Com- pany, reported to police shortly af- ter midnight that he had picked up two men outside a hotel. One passenger got in the back seat and one with the driver. Marier was told to drive out Walker Road and then to turn on to Riberdy fn Sandwich East. After the turn, the passenger beside him produced the knife and demanded Marier's cash. He got $13. Marier was then made to get in the back seat while the man who had the knife drove the car. The car was driven to the city outskirts and the hold-up men fled on foot. Early Monday John Gruber, a checker cab driver, reported picking up two men and being held up by them. The man who got in the front seat with Gruber also threatened him with a knife, GM, Ford, Chrysler, K-F Leading Producers In 48 Detroit, Dec. 21, -- (AP)-- The year 1948 will go into the United States automobile industry's record as one in which everything went up. x a Sales" and profits increased, re- tail prices mounted steadily and the unfilled order backlog continued to rise as production topped every year but one in the history of the car industry. But for shortages of materials and many labor disputes, factories would have exceeded the record mark of 5358420 vehicles built in the United States in 1020. When official figures are finally cumput- ed, they probably will show a to- tal output for 1948 of about 5,200,- 000 cars and trucks. The year brought new emphasis to the post-war "new look" in au- tomobile designing. Almoct without exception the new models featured less height, roomier interiors and increased englue power. Probably one of the biggest up- sets of the year in car designing was the failure of many manufac- furers 10 hing oul expected pew automatic transmissions. In most instances the builders who were expected to bring out new types of automatic transmissions now say they will have them ready some time in 1049. Meanwhile, Buick and Oldsmobile have made the devises standard equipment on their highest-price models--with a price increase that includes their cost. Steel-sheet shortages, an indus- trial gas shortage, the effects of a coal-mining stoppage, inadequate supplies of parts and recurring mi- nor labor -troubles kept the indus- try's assembly lines on a stop-and- go basis through most of 19048. Yet most companies, with vastly in- creased manufacturing facilities, . managed to get into new produc- tion ground. Kaiser-Frazer will wind up 1948 with a production achievement of about 200.000 cars, topping all com- panics. outside the "big three" of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and exceeding the individual efforts of some divisions. of those major £oncerni What to Do To-Night THIS IS A COMMUNITY CHEST ASSISTED SERVICE Leathercraft--Adults, Monday to Thursday, 2-4 p.m.; Adults, Tuesday to Thursday, 7-9 p.m.; Children, Monday to Thursday, 4-5:30 p.m. Bas Gym--Monday, Wednesday 4-5:30. : Girls' Gym and Folk Dancing-- Tuesday and Thursday, 4-5:15 p.m. Ladies' Gym--Thursday, 7-9 p.m. 'Woodshop--Adults, Monday, Wed- nesday and Thursday, 7-9 pm.; Children, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 4-5:15 p.m. Radio--Boys, Monday, 8-9 pm.

Carleton riding became vacant when the incumbent, G. Russtll Boucher, resigned to provide a seat for Mr. Drew, 54, elected leader at the party's national convention nearly three months ago. He went to that post from the premiership of Ontario. Marquette was opened in similar circumstances. Hon. James A. Glen, former minister of mines, re- tired to open the way for Mr. Gar- son, 50, the former premier of Manitoba, who entered the Federal Cabinet last month. Laval-Two Mountains became va- cant when Liguori Lacombe, who sat in the Commons as an Inde- pendent, resigned last summer to accept appointment as a magistrate in Quebec Province. Here are the latest vote totals in the three by-elections: Carleton (128 polls complete), Mr. Drew 12,235; Eugene Forsey, C.CF., 3334; J. Nelson McCracken, Social Credit, 455. Marquette (100 of 101 polls), Mr. Garson 17415; Mrs, Earle Keating, C.C.F., 2,946. Laval-Two Mountains (59 of 86 polls), Mr. Demers 4,249; J. Honore Desy, Republican-For-Peace, 2,132. By comparison, the record shows these results in the three ridings in the 1945 general election: Carleton ' Mr. Boucher 10,916; L. A. Davis, Liberal, 5,309; D. D. Irwin, C\C.F,, 1,730.

Laval-Two Mountains Mr. Lacombe 6876; Joseph Oul- met, Liberal, 6,597. - Prime Minister St. Laurent said he was "delighted" with the "over- whelming'" victories of the Liberal candidates. Coupled with two other by-election wins since the party's national convention in Au- gust, they were "not a bad indica- Hon" that the party stil enjoyed the confidence of most of the Cana- dian people. The triumph-in Laval-Two Moun- tains was of "special satisfaction" It Was A Happy Evening One of the happiest children to meet Santa Claus at the Rotary Club Christmas Party for children was Arthur Irving. Arthur was quite un- afraid of the jolly old man from the North Pole and when he went for- ward to get his present, he had a long talk with Santa and turned a smile to The Times-Gazette camera. broad Lucky winner of a black Cocker Spaniel puppy, at the Rotary Club Christmas party for children last night, was Elizabeth Farrow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Farrow. puppy, donated by Douglas Hurl, Waubena K collar and leash, ~--Times-Gazette Staff Photo.

Don't Drink And Drive Warns Chief of Police A warning to all motorists not to drink and drive during the holiday season was issued today by Chief of 'Police. Owen D. Friend who ad- ded that all members of the force. have been instructed to deal severe- ly with any motorist found under the influence of liquor. The following is the text of Chief Friend's statement: "During the coming festive sea- son, there will be individuals who unfortunately imbibe of intoxicat- ing liquors not wisely but too well and it is to those that might op- erate a motor vehicle that I would make this appeal. "If you have imbibed intoxicat- ing liquors do not drive; get some person who has not partaken - of liquor to drive for you. This ap- plies even to those that have par- taken of a small amount of liquor. From medical research, we are in- formed that the partaking of even a small amount of intoxicating liquor, gives, to the individual a false sense of confidence in his ability to operate a motor vehicle and causes him to take chances he would not otherwise take, "I am sure that no person would like to have upon his conscience the knowledge that through his con- dition or negligence he has caused the death of or injury to any per- son. This knowledge would be with him for the remainder of his life and would be brought more for- cibly to his mind each time the fes- tive season came around. On the other hand there would always be the suffering of the injured and the heartaches to the relatives of the loved one that has been killed or injured, and these heartaches would naturally have a tendency to create hatred of the person re- sponsible. "The foregoing is in nature of an appeal. . "The following-is a warning. "All police officers have been in- structed to charge all persons who are found operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, without any leniency whatever being shown to them, and the courts will be asked to deal with them accord- ingly. . "There is no excuse whatsoever for an intoxicated person to be found operating a motor vehicle." to him because it was the first con- test in his native province since he became leader of the Liberal party. M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, said the defeat of his party's candidates came as no surprise. While the defeats were not ex- pected, he felt that allowing C.C.F. candidates - to enter such contests serted a useful purpose in that it gave the electorate an: opportunity to learn of C.C.F, policies and the party's program. ' HITCH-HIKING CHICKENS Halifax--(CP)--Ralph Swansberg climbed out of the cab of his truck after a 12-honr trin to: find four pullets perched on the undercarriage of his trailer. He discovered they were his-own and had hitch-hiked a ride from home, Two Guests Die In Hotel Fire, Philadelphia, Dec. 21 -- (AP)-- Two guests tdday were burned to death and three other, persons in- jured as flames swept a section of the Westminster Hotel. Ninety-five other persons fled the hotel after the alarm was sounded by a guest who discovered the blaze on .the second floor. PY The fire, discovered about 5 am., swept most of the structure. A man and a woman, trapped by flamas: in. their fourth-floor. rooms at tag 72 bf-the structure, climbed to safety across a narrow, ice-cover- ed 'ledge to a window 'of a nearby building, Prizes Given At Sunday School Tree A very enjoyable evening was spent in the basement of the Uk- rainian Presbyterian Church, Sim- coe Street South, last night when the Sunday School which meets there each Sunday afternoon held its Christmas Tree. With Robert McConnell, super- intendent of the School, acting as master of ceremonies a pro- gram of instrumental and vocal se- lection was presented. Through the courtesy of H. W. McNeill a pro- gram of motion pictures featur- ing Christmas carols and short films was presented. Following the program a' lunch was served by the ladies of the Ar- villa McGregor Auxiliary of Knox Presbyterian Shurch.

Jacenty and Myrna Nicholichen; a vocal duet by Iris and Diana . Jacenty, and recita- tions by Kathleen Polson. Prizes for attendance and excel- lence -in Bible. study were present- ed by Rev.-H.

Mr. McConnell expressed his ap- preciation of the work of the schol- ars and teachers while Mr. David- son extended his congratulations to the Sunday School on its suc- cess. and growth. Sunday School Children Aid Mission Fund An offering by the children of Simcoe Street. United Church for the support of a missionary, form- ed the climax of the "Christmas Treat" held for the Primary and Beginners' depsrtments of the school recently. The children pre- sented the gift to Mr, Snowden, Treasurer of the "Steed for Steed" fund which is raising money to help purchase some means of transportation for Mr. Steed, a missionary supported by the church.

Santa Visits Salvation Army Sunday School The arrival of Santa Claus was the climax of last night's Christ- mas party for the children of the Salvation Army Sunday School, as the jolly old man, in the red coat, paid a visit and left gifts for all of the children of the school. Santa's arrival was preceded by a concert put on by the children themselves, with hymns, songs, carols, plays, and other entertain- ment.

LY Draw For Cocker Spaniel Puppy Is Feature of Evening spirit received fresh impetus yesterday evening when the Oshawa Rotary Club acted as hosts to some 50 children at a Yuletide party complete with Santa and gifts, an uproarious puppet show, a frained dog, movies and, of course, a basket of goodies for each child the. party got under way, though, there was another special treat--a great turkey dinner with all the trimmings and fancy hats and horns to get® everyone into a fest- ive mood. And to shake the dinner down there was a sing-song with all the favorite songs sung with great vigor. Club President Speaks 'The little guests were welcomed by Dr. Ronald Richardson, chair- man of the Oshawa Rotary Club's Children's Committee, who intro- duced Club President John Geikie. Mr. Geikie expressed the pleasure of the club in being privileged to act as hosts to the children. Rev. John C. Peremya, in a short address, recalled the significance of the Christmas story to the whole world. Then came the puppet show, staged by Mrs. J. G. Campbell of Adelaide House and her assistants. The antics of the brightly dressed puppets kept the little guests in roars of laughter and the applause vas deafening at times. Well-Trained Dog Another highlight of the party was an exhibition by Rush, a yel- low Labrador retreiver, who was trained by his master E. W Rob- son. The well-trained dog removed his master's hat, fetched his slip- pers, obeyed hand signals and de- monstrated obedience tests to the delight of the children. Then came the movies, consist- inz of short subjects which kept the children enthralled. The climax came when a lucky draw was held for a wriggly black cocker spaniel pup, donated by Douglas Hurl of the Waubena Kennels. The room was filled with tense little children until it was announced that Elizabeth Farrow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Farrow -/as the lucky winner, Towers Collapse Dallas, Tex., Dec. 21--(AP)--Ra- dio Station KRLD's two 478-foot towers toppled over early 'today, causing the 50,000-watt station to suspend its programs.

BURTON RUSSELL December 21, 1948--W.O, II Shortt and I were glad to see so many Cadets at the Christmas dance held on Friday. Everyone had a wone derful time and many received love- ly dance prizes. We would like to thank L.A.C. Authors for the use of his record player and his selec- tion of records, S/L. Beal for the use of his records, the O.C.V.I. for the use of the microphone, and Sgt. Don Fist in helping to start one of the dances. Also, we would like to thank the Cadet mothers who cone tributed much time and effort in helping to make the dance the suce cess it was, and the Civilian Come mittee for their contribution that paid for the food which was ape preciated by all. After the dance, S/L Beal was given a present from the Squadron by AC. II Jack Russell (mon frere). Last week in mentioning the pro motions I made two very grave er= rors, it seems. First, L.A.C. Don Sager was promoted to Cpl, not Doug. The second was brought very sharply to my attention: Sgt. R. Bishop (no known relation to "Billy") was promoted to Flight Sgt. I hope this clears up any... er . .. difficulties between us, boys. But enough of this, and now for a laugh, I hope. (Note: See below before laughing.) The néw air-line hostess taking over her first flight was more than a bit nervous. Soon after the big twin-engined plane was in the air the chief pilot's voice came over the intercom: "Hostess! Send the co- pilot forward, please." She made a quick search, reported back that he was nowhere to be found: "You wefen't supposed to let me take off until you checked in the co-pilot," snapped the intercom. "Nothing to do now but proceed to the next A thoroughly frightened young lady patted pillows into place, | served coffee and sandwiches with trembling hands. Actually, the co-pilot had enter- ed the plane through the cargo hatch in the nose of the ship, and 'was sitting just where he should be, When the plane rolled to a stop at the first station, the co-pilot broke open the cargo hatch, ducked under the air-ger's belly, broke into a hard run 'where the hostess was see= ing off the last of her passengers, Up the ramp he staggered and fell panting into her arms.
