t *Simcoe Hall St. John Ambulance Group Receives Charter --ld THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle E WHITBY VOL. 9--No. 85 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1950 PAGE THREE ®Lieutenant-Governor Voices High Praise Oshawa Kiwanis Club Kiwanian "Bill" Richardson of Peterborough, Kiwanis Lieutenant- Governor of Division No. 6 in the Ontario-Quebec-Maritime District, paid his official visit to the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club at their luncheon meeting on Tuesday noon and de- livered a down-to-earth, straight- from-the-shoulder address in which he charged the Oshawa Kiwanians with their responsibilities with a | solid description of what is expected | of any Kiwanian and extended, in his official capacity, his help and assistance, as an advisor. Describing Kiwanis as "a medium through which a man may become a better citizen to his community", Lieutenant-Governor "Bill" Rich- ardson during his sincere remarks, reminded the Kiwanians that they have a duty and an obligation as members of Kiwanis International; they are banded together to under- take and carry out worthwhile pro- jects within the community and see that a good job is done. "The fel- | Jowship and pleasure you enjoy at your meetings and more informal | gatherings are the cement that holds a club together," he declared. Experience Is Information Outlining the organization of Kiwanis International, the guest speaker stressed the importance of passing on such information to new members. "There are 3,000 odd clubs in Kiwanis International with a total membership of over 200,000 Kiwanians. Each club reports its activities to Kiwanis International and 'International' collects all infor- mation from these clubs, such as the projects .they undertake, the problems they meet and how they deal with them. All this informa- tion is available to you and you are entitled to share in this knowl- edge," he stated. Speaking briefly on the main theme of Kiwanis for 1950, the guest speaker complimented the Oshawa Club in presenting this theme to their members on the weekly bul- letin board. "That is the best idea I've seen in my visits throughout this Davision", stated Kiwanian "Bill" Richardson. He named the objectives of Ki- wanis for 1950 and referred to them as the "guiding stars of Ki- wanis work". Must Work at Democracy Charging the members to work hard at Democracy, the speaker likened . Communism to a disease and pointed out that years ago there were diseases which we didn't talk about and perhaps didn't even notice, until they became so preva- lent something had to be done. "Communism is a disease and it is spreading and growing now to where we noticed it, perhaps be- cause we are not keeping our own premises clean", he pointed out. Continuing with his explanation of the duties of a club and thie in- dividual = members, Lieut. Gov. "Bill" Richardson also mentioned some of the prominent Committees in routine Kiwanis work and point- ed out that while some of these were not vital to the growth or the existence of Kiwanis, they were of special nature and pertained to problems or conditions which need- ed help or assistance in the par- ticular territory of a club. He stressed that Kiwanis educa- tion is of prime importance to new members. Speaking of the "Support of Churches" committee, he likened the Church to the Father and Mother who looked after their children at all times. "It behooves us to support our Christian churches, financially and with our moral support, to give them the help they need to keep Christian ideals thriving and spreading in our world", he added. The guest speaker concluded his interesting address by explaining the club rating system and stressing the importance of committee chair- men's reports and the work of the Secretary in showing how a club compares with other clubs and what the club itself is accomplishing. Kiwanian Col, R. B. 'Bob" Smith, a Past Lieutenant-Governor of Ki- wanis International, introduced Ki- wanian "Bill" Richardson, relating facts of the speaker's career in business and more particular, his accomplishments as a worthy citi- zen of the city of Peterborough and especially stressing his contribu- tions to Kiwanis. Kiwanian Neil Fraser, Immediate Past-President of the Oshawa Club, voiced the thanks and appreciation o the members for the outstanding talk, Receives Certificate A highlight of yesterday's meet- ing was the official presentation by Lieutenant-Governor "Bill" Rich- ardson, on behalf of Kiwanis Inter- national of a certificate of merit and accomplishment, presented to Kiwanian Neil Fraser, in recogni- Sion of his splendid year of leader- ship as President of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club in 1949. OIL DID NOT IGNITE It has been drawn to the atten- tion of The Times-Gazette that a news item carried on page three of yesterday's edition was The story stated that firemen from the Richmond Street station ans- wered a call to the residence of C Urie, 97 King Street West Monday afterngon and put out a small fire which startc ' when oil overflowed and ignited. According to informa- tion received yesterday evening, oii did overflow, but did not ignite and the firemen only stood by until the moved by the Germans during the Joscupation have been re-erected. incorrect. | Labor Council 'Reiterates Its | 'Stand on Buses The much publicized criticism of the bus service in Oshawa at last month's meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council after which IM. J. "Mike" Fenwick, secretary- | treasurer, was asked to apologize for saying many bus drivers were discourteous, was renewed at coun- cil"s meeting last night. Communi- cations from interested parties were read to the labor council delegates last night. Fenwick sald, "I didn't think my statement was defama- tory". He disclosed that Dorland Wind- algamated Association of Street, Electrical Railway and Motor Coach { vited. with one or two other offi- i cers, to attend last night's meeting {"to state your views in the matter of bus service". No bus drivers attended the meeting. At least two labor delegates as- serted bus service in the city had improved somewhat during the past month, Superintendent Defends Service R. B. Hardy, Oshawa Railway Company Superintendent, in a communication read to council said: "You will appreciate that dur- ing the winter months weather and road conditions rake it exceedingly difficult to operate our buses on schedule. These conditions very materially affect transit operations in all cities where winter weather conditions prevail, and can only be partially taken care of by op- erating adjustments. With the ad- vent of better weather and road conditions, our service will return to normal. "Favorable comments from our patrons and reports from our su- our coach operators are giving | courteous service to our patrons. We conduct a continuous campaign to this and amongst our employees land this will be continued," he wrote. Minutes later Fenwick told of a 15-year-old high school student having had his glasses broken when a bus door was slammed shut in his face. He said he had been in- formed by the boys' mother, Mrs. €. W. Carter, that an optometrists bus company and that the latter settled for $5.00. "I was told the boy got on the bus which was filled with High School students. Apparently the children with their horsing around | got on the bus drivers' nerves. As | the boy got out of the bus the door | was slammed shut in his face, his | glasses breaking. The bus company | sent the mother a cheque for five dollars", Fenwick stated. Contacted today, Mrs. | fair. | was horseplay or not, the bus was | stationary and the door should not have been shut while people were getting off". : Received Many Complaints Fenwick went on to say that a dozen people had telephoned him complaining of bus service in the city and that he had also received anonymous letters. Last month council passed a mo- to maintain better schedules so that people transfering from one bus to another would not have to wait so long for a bus, because just as they are alighting from a first bus, the other bus speeds away without wait- ing for them. Council also claimed there was considerable dissatisfac- tion amongst ttie people who use the buses and about the attitude of the drivers. "This council has been fighting the bus company for seven years that I know of," Fenwick told coun- cil. "Two years ago this council went on record opposing any fare boost. We felt the company had no reason to raise fares. The bus driver's union, at that time affili- ated with our council, wouldn't sup- port council. They are a free agent and they withdrew from council. Since that time they have never sided with us." Intolerable Conditions Lloyd Peel, council delegate, stated, "It seems to me, that we are 'blaming the bus drivers for poor service. That's wrong. The bus drivers are working under in- tolerable conditions. You can't blame the drivers when they have to ride over such poor roads. More buses are needed. The company is mostly to blame. Crowding in the buses is terrible at rush hours". Ed Nicholls agreed that bus ser- vice in the city had improved dur- ing the past month, James Corse asserted that the bus drivers were not 'altogether free from blame. Earlier in the meeting Fenwick |said Dorland Windover asked him | to meet the bus driver's union exe- |cutive to discuss statements made |at last 'month's council meeting |"Ed Cline, our president, agreed {there would be no purpose served | by meeting with the executive alone as I was not the only one who com- | plained about the bus service".

Peter Balik Again Heads go Naturalists | The 22nd annual meeting of the Burroughs Field-Naturalists' Club | was held Monday, April 10, in the | Library of the Collegiate and Vo- | cational Institute, from 2:45 to 6:00 (p.m. Arthur Slyfield presided, as- | sisted by Peter Baluk. The presiding officer introduced the twenty-seven members and vis- | itors present. Peter Baluk, Clarke | Marsh and Ronald Richards were named a nominating committee to | bring in a slate of officers for the | ensuing year. The minutes of the | 21st annual meeting were read and | confirmed. Letters from Julian | Burroughs of West Park, N. Y., and | Prof. J. R. Dymond, Royal Ontario | Museum, were read. The following | organizations with which the B.F.- N.C. is affiliated sent greetings: -- | The John Burroughs Memorial As- | sociation, New York City, The Thor- eau Society, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., and The Com- munity Recreational Association, | Oshawa. The attention of mem- | bers was drawn to the exhibit of | books, pamphlets, and clippings | added to the Club archives since | the last annual meeting. The Executive Committee tabled | reports covering the Christmas 1948 Bird Count, Burroughs Day obser- vations (spring migrations of 1949 and 1950), and the last two annual meetings of the Federation of On- tario Naturalists at Western Uni- versity, London, and Emmanuel Hall and Victoria College, Toronto. William Scattergood | Three letters to the press formed | the basis of the address delivered | by Mr, William Scattergood, guest | speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Scat- - | tergood spoke with conviction and | a wealth of practical experience of the problems posed by predatory birds and mammals, notably the red fox, the snowy and horned owls, particularly in relation to the propa- gation of pheasants. The speaker laid it down as axiomatic that man must interfere with the balance of nature on farms and sanctuaries if one is to bring anything to success- {ful fruition. He made a spirited | defence of the common skunk and | deplored all the bother made about | their occasional appearance in cities where they become the victims of cruel persecution. Mr. Scattergood has a justifiably poor opinion of nature-fakers who deny the rav- ages of foxes, hawks and owls and whn publish such highly improb- able pictures as of Arctic owls perched on the heads of children. He believes that too many students of nature allow reading of nature books, good and all as that is, to take the place of genuine, painstak- ing observation out-of-doors. The sponsor. of the Burroughs Field-Naturalists' Club spoke in- formally to a group of ladies from Simcoe St. United Church at the home of Mrs. (Dr.) Mills in April of 1949 and is scheduled to address a meeting of the U.A.W. Union Rod and Gun Club, on Thursday, April 27th, at which time the subject of his address will be, "The Balance of Nature". New Projects The Club is sponsoring a small exhibit, "Useful Hawks and Owls", to be on display at the forthcoming 2nd C.R.A. Hobby Fair and a Regional Field Meeting of Ontario Naturalists, to be held on Saturday. June 3rd at the farm of Mr, William Scattérgood, R.R. 4, Oshawa, with an evening meeting in the Library of the O.C.VI. Work will be con- tinued among elementary school children 'who gather at the com- munity playgrounds. It was thought impracticable to enter into a con- tract with the National Audubon Society for an Oshawa showing of | { five Audubon Screen Tours during the fall and winter of 1950-1 12th Summer Nature School Ap the yequest-of Pref. Dymond, provision was made for the discus- sion of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists' Summer Nature School, July 1st to 15th. Printed matter was distributed for display through One subscription was | taken for "Canadian Nature Maga- zine". The sponsor commented upon | the excellent stock of new and used | books of natural history for sale by ! Fred J."Pierce of Winthrop, Iowa and Bernard Amimann, 'Ottawa. Audubon Nature League Bulletins, | Junior Club Leaflets, and American Wildlife Federation Conservation stamps were distributed to members. | A valuable leaflet on "Tracking" { is for sale by the Club. The Club | Scrap Book has been kept up-to- | date and the Sponsor has been re- {named a director of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists and Deputy | Game Warden with provincial jur- | isdiction. Cruelty To Animals The Club through its warden will | take a more vigorous stand toward | enforcing the provisions of the On- | tario Game and Fisheries Laws and | the Federal Migratory , Birds Con- | vention Act as well as the laws re- bill for $8.50 had been sent to the | mojo ation of Ontario Naturalists, | lating to- the prevention of cruelty | to animals. Instances have been | brought to the attention of the club | of down-right sadism on the part of boys with perverted instincts, as, | for example, the torturing last | spring of a muskrat, the burning | of meadow mice alive, and the carv- | ing up of live frogs and toads in | the damp meadowlands in the East- | view Park area. The indiscrimin- {ate use of spring guns, BB guns | and sling-shots was deplored as well as the sale of firearms and ammuni- tion and the issuing of vermin li- | censes to unreliable persons. Deceased Members The membership stood in reverent silence while the sponsor recited the commemoratory prayer in memory | of the late Lewis Stevenson, Gordon Johnston, Eric Byron, John R. Kelly, and John Perkins, the two latter having given their lives while mem- bers of the armed services. Financial Statement Expenditures were authorized and accounts passed for payment. Re- ceipts for the last fifteen months amounted 'o $38.82 and disburse- ments to $566.04, the operating de- ficit of $17.22 being met out of re- serve funds. Telegram To J. B. M. A. The following wire was despatch- ed from the Club to the Annual meeting of the John Burroughs Me- morial Association, meeting at the American Museum of Natural His- tory, New York City:--"Best wishes for today's birthday luncheon. Ad- mirers of John, Burroughs here greet you. Kindest regards to Jul- ian, Mrs. Haring, and Drs. Teale, Pough and Moldenke." Delegates To F.O.N. The Executive Committee was named official delegates to annual meetings of affiliated societies. Mr. Scattergood suggested that each member be responsible for bringing out one new visitor to the next an- nual meeting. Mr. J, Harold Bate- man promised to donate radio time over the local station in connec- tion with the June 3rd meet. The Club decided against any change in the present policy of dues, where- by fees are collected only from charter members of the Club. Miscellaneous H. P. Bull lent a display of six fossil trilobites from 'the Silurian shales of the Oshawa creek bed. While arriving too late for exhibi- tion at the annual meeting, they will be on exhibit at the O.C.V.I. after the Easter holidays. Peter D. Millar, Bloor.St. W., sent in an in- teresting article, "Vain Antics of Male Courtship". The dodger, "Boys and Girls Protect the Birds" is be- ing widely distributed. Five copies |of "W. E. Saunders, Naturalist" were purchased from the publishers. Bird notes from Messrs. William Alger, Wayland Drew, Daniel Croz- ier (Elora, Ont), Dave Fletcher (Harmony), Joe Victor, Bob Me- Donald, Philip and James Slyfield | were read. Pictures were exhibited of the 1949 visit of Club members PETE RBALUK (Continued on psge 3) Still Seek Delegates On C.R.A. Board | { The Oshawa and District Labor | Council last night reiterated its stand that the Community Recrea- tion Association has deliberately | kept labor off its board of directors. Last month council passed a resolu- tion asking all affiliated unions "to re-examine their support of and relations with the C.R.A. in view of its refusal to name a labor repre- sentative on its board of directors". | M. J. "Mike" Fenwick, secretary- | treasurer, again charged the C.R.A. with discrimination against labor. He pointed out that John Brady | was on the Board of Directors as a | Parks Board representative and Ald. | Cephas Gay as a representative of | City Council. "The people who are now on the board of directors and | happen to be union members do not | sit on the board as labor represen- | tatives- but as representatives of | other groups. We want somebody | who would directly represent labor | sitting on the board," Fenwick | stated. C.R.A. President Explains Hayward Murdoch, president of | CRA, in a communication read to council stated: "May I point out to] your council that we have for: the year 1950 seven members on our| board of directors who are also members of local unions. With the exception of Mr. John Brady, Presi- dent of U.AW.A, and Mr. Cephas Gay, all other men were elected by | a vote of citizens at the annual meeting held on March 1." ! Mr. Murdoch also enclosed a sep- | arate list of board of directors and | their positions in the community. It was read to council. "Our conditions calls for open elections with the exception of ap- pointments from the Board of Edu- cation, the Parks Board, and the| City Council. I have been in per- sonal contact with Mr. R. J. Flem- ing who is the labor council's rep- resentative to C.R.A. for the com- ing year. If a vacancy should occur in the present Board of Directors the matter of Mr. Fleming being appointed as a director will be con- sidered, but not from the standpoint of a labor representative because it would not be in keeping with the constitution of C.R.A. "I might further point out that at the annual meeting on March 1, P. R. Clarke and C. Lang were on the ballots for election to the board of directors of C.R.A. It was ap- parent from the vote cast that they did not have the support of their own labor council as they were not elected in the poll voting. "It is my desire as the new presi- dent of C.R.A. that there shall be no reason to find need for criticism of C.R.A. and at the same time we will welcome help wherever you see fit to offer or wherever requested by us. Many of your members are personal friends and business ac- quaintances of the writer and I am sure with their help and the help of their association they can do some good work on betialf of C.R.A. wherever called upon," Mr. Mur- doch wrote. Only Volunteers "According to a recent article it would appear that you believe there is discrimination by business men against the laboring people. May 1 point out that there are no big) business men in our C.R.A. director- | ship, but only volunteer people of all classes of the City of Oshawa trying to do a job. I can assure you that there is not a cent of remun- eration but there are plenty of headaches. And it is therefore! urged upon you to deal with C.R.A. in the light of a community effort] | Art Display From Toronto Showing Here A small Art Exhibition which will provide - standards of comparison with the work of Oshawa art stu- dents of comparable age on display at next week's CR.A. Hobby Fair comes to the Oshawa Recreation Centre this week from the Central Technical College in Toronto. Com- prising some thirty-two works, the | exhibition covers all the phases in art study undertaken at the well- known Toronto college. Charcoal drawings and life techniques vie with music illustrations, book cov- ers, advertising layouts, silk screen reproductions and curtain designs in a mosaic of color and form which has an appeal to every stu- dent of art. The exhibition will be on show daily from 9 am. to 9 p.m. during the current week, and will make way for the Hobby Fair exhibition of Oshawa art next week. It will however, return to the walls of the Recreation Centre on April 24th when it will be shown for an in- definite period. last night for the induction C Charter and Junior First Aid Hall Division, No. 228, of the Presentation of 38 First Aid C the Women's Welfare League o 2 4 Prominent Educationist Fair Speaker A man who has for many years been prominently associated with the adult education movement in Ontario will be the guest speaker at the official opening of the Sec- cnd Annual C.R.A.

The auditions will be tied to the regular weekly Talent Hour of the Oshawa Children's Theatre and audition finalists will be heard--but not seen-on this week's Children's Theatre bill at the Recreation Centre on Friday, April 14th. The audience will be able to par- ticipate in the fun too.

For the audience, their part will be to identify the voices and a prize will be awarded to the winner. Members of the Oshawa Child- rens' Theatre of the Air who want to take part in the auditions are asked to contact either of the di- rectors or the C.R.A. office when they will be advised how they can get in on the preliminary auditions.

G. Mills, President of of Oshawa while Master of Ceremonies for the evening, Corporal C. C. Holman, Publie Relations Officer of the R.C.M.P., from Toronto, inducted 14 new Non Commissioned Officers. Present for the gala event were Colonel E. R. Evans, District Supere intendent, St. John Ambulance Brigade and Colonel V, A, M. Kemp, C.B.E, Provincial Commissioner, Sé. John Ambulance Brigade, both from Toronto. Two Nursing Cadets wcre present from Toronto, Miss Jovce McIndoe and Miss Angela Garratt. Named Superintendent Harold W. McNeil, who formed the Simcoe Hall Division, No, 288, of the St. John Ambulance Corps, January 7, 1949, received a Warrand appointing him Cadet Superintend~ ent for Oshawa and District. The presentation was made by Ool Kemp. "I am very proud to accept this warrant and intend to do every thing I can to assist the Corps," said Superintendent McNeil, whem receiving his appointment. As Cpl. Holman called out the name of each cadet to receive his first ald certificate, the lad snap- ped to attention, march briskly te the front of the hall, smartly saulted to attention, marched briskly to the front of the hall, smartly saluted accepted his cere tificate from Mrs. Mills, stepped back a pace, saluted again, wheeled on heel and toe and returned to his place, amid the cheers and whistle of his fellow cadets. Grin- ning faces showed the pleasure of each "first aider", as they return- ed to their seats, holding their proud possessions, which took long hours of study and work to obtain. "I hope this is something you will always remember," said Mrs. Mills, as she handed each cadet his certificate," to always be of service to others." Cpl. Holman told the cadets that the reason so many boys received their certificates last night was be~ cause of their deep interest in their work. "No matter how good a teaches you may have you won't pass uRe less you have the necessary intere est in what you 'are doing," said Cpl. Holman. A complete list of the cadets receiving their First Add Certificates appears at the end wf this story. Realistic Demonstration A realistic first aid demonstra=~ tion was performed by nine meme bers of Platoon No, 1, including the Cadet Officer in charge, Georgs Valentiné, The patient, Harry Drage omatz, was supposedly suffering from a fractured thigh, but by the manner in which the First Aid Team carried out their duty, he wouldn't have suffered long, After the patient who was lying on & stretcher on the stage, was coms pletely bandaged, the stretches was lifted and turned slowly around, so that all present could see the neat and efficient job see complished by them. As each bandage was put in place, Cpk Holman, would call out the use of the bandage and why it was ne~ cessary in that certain region. A hearty round of applause greeted the completion of this task. The First Aid Team was cobie posed of Cadet Officer George Valentine, Orest Pidwerbecki, Don= ald Claus and Earl Atkinson, : The induction of the Non Come missioned Officers was the highe light of the evening, with Cpl.

Standing at the front of the PRESENT CHARTER (Continued on Page 2) Seek Passage of Discrimination Law, The Oshawa and District Labo Council last night decided to ask municipal councils' of Whitby, East Whitby, and Bowmanville to con= sider enacting a discrimination bye law, now in effect in Oshawa, mak- ing it an offence for various ft; of business establishments to - criminate on account of race, creed or color against any member of the public who seeks their goods or service. A similar by-law has been enacted by the Corporation of the City of Windsor. William Rutherford, informed counciy that 90 men were laid off at the Skinner Company Limited yesterday.
