KR Durh Gives Informative Address Dealing With Ottawa Work John M. James, M.P., of Bowmanville, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club on Tuesday, and delivered to the Kiwanians an interesting and informative talk on a Member's thoughts and ideas of what goes on at Ottawa. First pointing out that the Gov- ernment consists of members elect- __ed from various parts of the coun- try, a large country in which-dif- ferent areas and localities have diffreent problems . and different ideas, the speaker pointed out that the House of Commons consists of men from professional ranks, lawyers and doctors, as well as newspaper editors, businessmen of various types and farmers, "Each is trying to further the improvement of his country as a whole and each is trymng to fur- ther the interests of the people he is representing, his constituents," he declared. Two Spheres of Activity The speaker went on to point out that a Member of Parliament has two definite spheres of activity. Ottawa is not the only centre of his work but he also has work to do at home, it was stressed. Duscussing absenteeism, pertain- ing to sessions of the Parliament, John M. James declared that "a Member of Parliament, if he is a sincere fellow, must have two ob- ligations, and he must compromise centinually betweeh the calls on his time at home and the debates in the Chambers at Ottawa. He pointed out that the visitor to Parliament sessions might be dis- turbed by the number of absentees but he explained, often the speaker cof the moment is a Member who is availing himself of the opportunity to let his people back home know that 'he has been up on his feet, that he has had something to say --*'even though he may only be de- scribing the beauties of his particu- lar part of this country". "It is often much more important to be present at a meeting of a small women's organization that is planning some community project, than it is to be in Ottawa", said the speaker, Referring to the 40-minute limit which is allowed for speeches by the members, John James declare! that while this time might be shortened, it really is a cheap price we pay for democracy and the right of free speech as we enjoy in Canada, Explaining why Members of a party appear to be loath to vote fn Parliament against any Bill introduced by their party, he re- vealed that the individual Mem- bers have the opportunity to voice their objections, vigorously as they wish, in a private Party caucas and decisions are ironed out. It was pointed out that when Mem- bers vote against their own- party, they are providing ammunition for the opposition and seriously threatening the rule of the Party. .. Cannot Admit Mistakes Similarly, it was stated that Governments can not afford to ad- mit they have made a mistake when some piece of legislation does not actually solve the problem as an- ticipated, because if they admit this on too many occasions, then the Opposition will use this to over- throw the Government in power and have another election. In a terse, compact argument to the oft repeated cry "Why doesn't the Government do sorhething about this"? John James reminded the Kiwanians that Governments to- day have been given more and more to do and it is only natural tc expect that if a Government is expected to provide for an in- dividual from cradle-to-grave; to make sure the farmer gets full profits even though prices may be down; supervise huosing; promote industry; etc., then the day might possibly come when the Govern- ment would be doing so much for the people that they would expect the right to tell the people what they should do and how they should do it. On this point, he also re- minded his audience that the Gov- ernment has no money of its own but if it is expect to control and administer more services, then the people will have to pay more taxes. The speaker was introduced to the club by Kiwanian Geo. Camp- bell, who related the speaker's background as a member of a wellg known newspaper family, gave some details of the speaker's mili- tary career as a Counter-Intelli- gence Officer in the last war and pointed out that Bowmanville' energetic and civic-minded citizen was one of the youngest members in the House of Parliament, Kiwanian Dave Jamieson voiced the thanks and appreci membrs. ppreciation of the -- NEW DISH IN NORWAY Oslo--(CP)--Housewives in Nor- way's capital city have received their first shipment of frozen whale meat.

SNOW STORM Amman, Hashemite Jordan, Feb. 8--(AP)--Snow Tuesday covered the shores of the Dead Sea for the first time in modern history. am Riding M.P. Addresses Oshawa Kiwanis Club O"HAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY VOL. 9--No, 32 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1950 PAGE THREE Much Talent Is Found In C.R.A. Show It's not so long ago that a well- known British producer told an audience at the Dominion Drama Festival "Canada won't ever have a national theatre until it directs its stage and music endeavour first and foremost to children. Teach a child to act or to sing or to dance and your release an inmate talent which too often atrophies as we grow older. If I had my day over again, I'd devote my time to the development of children's powers of self 'expressions--whatever the med- ium, stage, dance or music." Three people who would agree wholeheartedly with these words are C.R.A's Joan Lambert, Joyce Kerr and Joan Tunnicliffe, current- ly producer and directors of the children's ballet "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and the Merrie England operetta "Under the Green- wood Tree," which are being pres- ented as part of the C.R.A. chil- dren's festival of music, song and dance at the O.C.V.I. Auditorium on February 17th and 18th. Other members of the C.R.A. staff who have anything to do with C.R.A.'s many stage and radio presentations --the Children's Theatre of the Air and the summer Bandshell pro- ductions leap to the mind--are con- tinually amazed at the outstanding musical talent and potential ability for stage and radio shown by Osh- awa school children--and a com- plete freedom from the self-cons- ciousness which characterizes the average adult as soon as he sets foct on a stage. Cast of 80 Children "Pugus and Fantasy--1950" will bring before the footlights in a program of ballet, operetta and in- strumental music some 80 children ranging in age from six to fifteen, recruited almost casually from every one of the city's elementaory schools and many of them making their first appearance ever before the footlights. Yet a visit to any one of the many rehearsals now go- ing on at the Recreation Centre re- veals immediately an instinct for dramatic self-expression, song and rhythm which augurs well for the success of the show. Take as a case in point nine-year old Sharon MacLeod of Cedar Dale School, feminine lead in the Robin Hood operetta "Under the Green- wood Tree," which with a cast of some thirty-five youngsters will open the "Fugue and Fantasy" pro- gram. Although Sharon is taking dancing lessons from Miss Irene Harvey and is rehearsing for the Skating Club Carnival in March, "Fugue and Fantasy" will provide her with her first appearance be- fore the footlights and it is safe betting to say that she will win a lot of applause for the way in which she carries the heavy part of the Princess Katharine, whose early days were spent in a wood cutter's cottage in Sherwood Forest. The way in which she leads the chorus of maidens--played by six-year old Pauline Hiller, seven-year old Kay Masten, and eight-year old Dallas Kunkel with a leaven of compara- tive age in Darlene Rosnak, Julie Mech and Arlene and Christine Reid, in the complicated rhythms of old English country dances and Nine Men's Morris and the drama- MUCH TALENT (Continued on Page 5) Discuss Organization Of Junior Farm Club In Port Perry Area Th executive of the Ontario County Junior Farmers Association met. in the Agricultural office on Friday night, February 3, to discuss and outline their program for the coming months. The re-organization of a squaie dance and folk dance program sim- ilar to that carried on 'ast year under Community Programmes; was discussed at some length. Ted Crox- all, the President of the County Executive, will be attending a meet- ing in York County next weelz In connection with this to secure fur- ther details of the plan. I was decided to hold these uights of square and folk dancing one night weekly, rotating from Uxbriige to Port Perry and Brooklin, 'he exact nights and dates to be decided on by the committees in charge de- pending on when leaders and piaces would be available. You will be hearing more of this when Ted finds out next week. We were very pleased to have a delegation of 12 very enthusiastic young farmers from Port Perry at this meeting. They came to gef information on organizing a Junior Farmer Club in the Port Perry dis- trict. Harley Johnston has been doing considerable work in finding prospective members for such a club, has talked the idea over with many young farmers in the Port Perry district and has prepared a list of prospective members. The aims and objects of Junior Farmer work was outlined by Mr. Fair, Comrie Ward, Ted Croxall and oth- er members of the County Junior Farmer executive. It was decided to invite the pros- pective Port Perry members to the next meeting of the Uxbridge Junior Farmer Club and also to the Brook- lin Club meeting. The Uxbridge Club holds its meetings on the sec- ond Tuesday night of each month and the Brooklin Club meetings are held on the First Thursday night of each month. All persons inter- ested in Junior Farmer or Junior Institute work are invited to at- tend these meetings.and join one of the clubs. It is pleasing to see a group of young farmers in the Port Perry district interested in forming a Jun- for Farmer Club. We are confident that such a club will be a definite asset to that farming community. The Port Perry group can count on the fullest co-operation and assist- ance in starting a club, from the other Junior Farmer Clubs In the County and from the office of the Ontario Department of Agriculture at Uxbridge.

"CANDY SHOPS Ze SIMCOE & KING MOPS IN great image whose head was of gold which represented the king's own wealthy kingdom of Babylon; the breast and arms of silver which stood for the kingdom of Media- Persia; the belly and thighs of brass portraying the Grecian em- pire; the legs of iron symbolizing the Roman empire and the feet "part of iron and part of clay" representing the countries of West- ern Europe today. Than the stone which was "cut out of the mountain without hands" smote the image and broke it in pieces, "and the stone .. became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth", rep- resenting Christ's coming kingdom.

GRANT PAY BOOST Windsor," Feb. 7--(CP) -- Wage contracts signed today between United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.) and Canadian Automotive Trim Ltd, give 350 employees wage in- creases of from five to 10 cents an hour. About half the employees are women, Ask Unions To Assist Unicef Fund All Canadian Congress of Labor unions in Oshawa and distri¢t have been asked to contribute to the United Nations International Chil- dren's Emergency Fund, as well as to co-operate in the campaign, M. J. "Mike" Fenwick, Secretary-treasur- er of the Oshawa and District Labor Council said today. UNICEF is the only United Na- tions agency on which there has been complete agreement among all the allied nations. It is the only agency toward which individuals and groups can contribute directly. Furthermore, they have absolute as- surance that their contributions serve the purpose for which they are intended, as there is complete supervision over the distribution of food, medicine, etc., and the re- ceiving country must undertake to contribute an equivalent amount in each case. So far as Canada is con- cerned, since the Fund was estab- lished the Government and the people of Canada have contributed approximately $9,000,000, but over $13,000,000 was spent in this country, the balance being made up of badly needed American dollarsec. Contri- butions to this fund will help a number of destitute children who will otherwise suffer from poverty, hunger and disedse. Rev. R.F. Willson Speaker At Harmony C.G.L.T. Service MRS, K. R. FLETCHER Correspondent « Harmony, Feb. 8--A large number was present last Sunday afternoon, when the C G.I.T. members were in charge of the regular service, which was in the form of an open session In the absence of the Sunday School superintendent, R, Moon, Arthur Korry welcomed the visitors and the C.G.IL.T. group, Mrs. Harry Gimblett was in charge of the service, which opened with a responsive reading taken from Psalm 8. Assisting with the service was the Rev. R. F. Willson, who also delivered a very inspira- tional and challenging talk, using as the theme, "The order of Life" Outlining the various phases of fam- ily life, Mr. Wilson drew a word picture of a home--any home. There the members of the family liked certain things, such as food, cloth- ing and so on. The good things are well liked. Life is like 'that. There were new words that C.G.I.T. could stand for. Every family has a head. In God's family, the head member is Jesus. "Many things are given us to make our homes what they are' said Mr. Willson, "Children, some boys, and some girls, a mother and a father. As we grow older we choose friends. Some are good for us, and some are not, and parents are given cause for worry. The things God give are always good. He gives us, through Jesus Christ, our salvation--the assurance of & happy future beyond this life. Jesus Christ died to give us this greas gift and if we have faith in Him, we have new life in ourselves. The meanmness--and--the hate are taken out of life. 'Some of God's children," said the speaker, "will gain positions of honor as doctors, nurses, teachers and so on, because he has endowed them with special talents and abile ity. Ambassadors are people with special qualifications, chosen to rep= resent their countries. Chriss chooses his ambassadors to be the citizens of His Kingdom. The Christian life fits us to become ax ambassador, it makes us reliable," Referring to the hymn "My Task" the speaker went on to say that all must learn to accept what life has in store for them and to be honest, loving, strong and fine, In this way they would truly become "His ame bassadors." During' the service, both Explores and C.G.I.T. groups repeated their Purpose. A solo was sung by Betty Hoskin, one of the members of the Explorer group. A euchre party, one in a series of card nights, sponsored by ,the exe ecutive of the 12th Oshawa Cub and Scout Executive, will be held at the school on Friday evening, Feb. 10th, with good prizes and refreshments, A good crowd is looked for. 50-54 KING ST.
