C. PHILLIPS Assistant to the general manager of Consumer's Gas Company, Limit- ed, of Toronto, who will be the speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club on Mon- | day. His subject will be "Insecure | Security". Will Observe White Cane Week February 11 to 17 February 11 to 17 is this year an- nounced by officials of The Cana- dian Council of the Blind and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind as White Cane Week. Dur- ing this period they ask the com- | munity to give a little thought to its blind members--to inform them- selves that the sightless citizen is a normal Canadian--with an incon- venient handicap. . This year the effort to develop a closer understanding between blind and sighted centres around recrea- tion. Asked what the attitude of the blind is to reereation, Miss Nor- ma Hughes, operator of a CN.I.B. stand, replied, "Much the same as that of the sighted. They like fun. If they have worked all day, they want fun in the evening." "But what kind of fun can they enjoy?" we asked Miss Hughes. "That depends on the man or the woman," she replied. The blind are just as individual in their likings and needs as the sighted. One blind man may like music-- or he may not know one note from another. He may enjoy reading, or he may want to bowl, or he may wish to play a game of bridge with his sighted friend. "And", laughted Miss Hughes, "he may be just as bad or as good af any one of these as any of his sighted friends." "Strange as it may seem," Miss Hughes went on, "The entertain ments of blind people are quite di- versified--one may like to take long walks and have definite ideas as to where he wants to go--along coun- try roads or city streets, or he may want to go to a movie. In short, said Miss Hughes, he wants and needs what you want and need. And his efforts to have fun must blend with yours, if both of you are to accomplish your purpose. "You don't take your blind friend to a theatre," Miss Hughes conclud- ed, "if your want the outing to be successful. You and he go together. 'That is the only way for blind and sighted Canadians to get along. They must work, live and play to- gether." « Initiate Three . At Corinthian Lodge Meeting At the regular weekly meeting of Corinthian Lodge, No. 61, on Thurs- | gj day evening, three new candidates were given their initiatoty degree.

Marsh Coakwell, de- gree captain, to go to Niagara Falls, New York, on February 24, to put on the third degree for their candi- dates. This team has made quite a name for itself and Bro. Coakwell is to be commended on his splendid effort. Next Thursday evening Corin- thian Lodge, No. 61, will be honored by the official visit of the District Deputy Grand Master and it: is hoped that the brothers will turn out in force. The Noble Grand issues a special invitation to all brothers to attend this meeting. The special speaker of the evening will be the Rev. F. J. Whitely, min- ister of Centre Street United Church, This meeting should prove a very interesting one for all the brothers who attend and it will be well worth the while to put this night aside and make a special effort to attend lodge. ' The United States and Canada between them make up two-thirds of the English-speaking world, New Priest At St. John's Church Here Rev. Michael Fyk this week suc- ceeded Rev, William Olynyk as pastor of the parish of St. John's Greek Orthodox Church. He arrived here from the prairie provinces, which have a reputation for cold weather, and was greeted in Osh- awa with icy, sub-zero blasts. At the same time he pitked up a paper to read that the province from which he came was basking in spring-like weather, "However, if the climatic recep- tion in Oshawa was cold it was the only reception thav was," Father Fyk told The Times-Gazette today. He said that he was comfortable in the parish house at 30 Bloor Street East and that he hoped soon to make the acquaintance of the 100- odd members of his congregation. Father Olynyk, who has been pastor here for a number of years, REV. MICHAEL FYK is at present in Hamilton on sick leave. He has not yet been appoint- ed to another parish by the Bishop who administers the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church in Canada from Winnipeg. Father Fyk was ordained in the fall of 1936 at Shoal Lake Mani- toba, after which he was appointed to a parish in Kenora, Saskatche- wan. He remained there for more than one and a half years, after which he was sent to Radway, Alberta, 50 miles northeast of Ed- monton, After five years in Radway, Father Fyk enlisted in the Chaplain Service of the Canadian Army, This was in 1042, He was sent to Van- couver where he was the only chap- lain attached at that time to the Pacific Command. In 1944 he was discharged as medically unfit and returned to Radway where he has been since then. The new pastor is married and has three children, two girls and a boy. They are 11, 10 and 4 years of age, Radio Drama League Presents Mystery Play On Monday at 800 p.m. over CKLB, the Senior Radio Drama League will present a mystery play, directed by Madeline Tooley.

Orell Sawyer plays Henry Lowry, the scientist's assistant who' be- comes entangled in the weild and strangé events, Tom, the dry and witty . reporter, is portrayed by' Ron McKee while Don .

By PAT LOGEMAN Someone outside of athletic ac- tivities ought to do something to brighten up things around good old C.C.I. you might say, "Well, exams are coming' up in a week we've got to study." No-one realizes that more than I do. But -gee whiz, can't you get something going? Seems dull around here' just now. The next interesting thing coming up isn't" 'till the St. dance, Guess who's sponsoring that? The G.A.A., of course. There will be a Mixed Badmin- ton Tournament with Centrals' best players fighting it out against Bowmanville, High's entries next Tuesday. Since they won't start 'till 7:30, there'll be plenty of time to get there before the play begins. It's a sure bet that quite a few of you have never seen a badmin- ton tournament. This should prove to be quite a good'un, since Cen=- trals' girls lost to Bowmanville lonly a week ago. That means they've learned something and are just waiting to drive it down Bow- manville's collective throat, Come out and see em do it! 'The closest basketball upset of the® season cost O.C.V.I. a playoff spot. Score in last night's game, Peterboro 43, O.C.V.I. 41, Most of the Central fans were up there rooting for O.C.V.I.

Phone 3468 Patrick's | Fine Oshawa Man Careless Driving Case Toronto, Feb. 10 -- An Oshawa man, Herbert Robitaille, was fined $15 and costs when convicted in police court Thursday on a charge of careless driving when he ran in- to the rear of an almost-stopped taxi. : The accident occurred on Clon- silla Ave. at Western Ave. Driver of the taxi, John Bolderson, 358 Brock St. said he had been driv- ing west on Clonsilla Ave, and intended to turn east on Western Ave. But he saw that Western Ave. was blocked off. He had made no signal because he 'hadn't decided what he intend- ed to do. He had slowed down gradually until he was almost stopped when he was hit. His car was driven forward about 70 feet and almost ended in the ditch. About $375 damage was done to the rear of the car. Traffic Officer Gordon Tren- num testified the road had been wet and no marks were left by the cars. He said Robitaille's breath smelled strongly of liquor. Robitaille said he was following the Bolderson car when it sudden- ly put on its brakes. He braked his own car and started to swing to the left. But at the same time, the taxi began to swing out as well and then turned back. He wasn't able to get clear of the taxi and crashed into the rear of it.

Used Stereoscope Interpret Aerial Pictures of Enemy Stan Losee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Losee, 148 Osh- awa Boulevard, who is in charge of the Photogrammetric Di- vision of the Abitibi Pulp and Paper Company was the "hero" of a recent broadcast "Photographing the Future," recently delivered by John Fisher, well known commentator. It is in part: : This story starts in a little village im England joa Medenham on the Thames, The given a great deal to know about that village and the activity that went on there. For there were men work- ing, trained specialists. Actually it was an R.AF. station but there was a Canadian there. Just one Canadian in all the Empire's Air Force who was trained to help the R.AF. with this top secret work. Had Hush-Hush Job Today you can meet him in Sault Ste. Marie and never rea- lize that this young chap called Stan -- Stan -Losee had one of the hush-hush jobs of the war. As a matter of fact he is still working at the same science up at the Soo. He is in his early thirties, blond curly hair, slight with rimless glasses. If you passed him on the street you'd guess | perhaps that he was a bookkeeper. | In a way he is, for he is helping to add up one of the biggest in- ventories that Canada has ever taken. Actually he learned his trade before the war while working for the Dominion government and when war came along the RCAF, learned of his talents, Oh, he was carefully investigated by the R.CM.P., checked and double checked, for his role in the war was to be a highly confiden- tial one. He never saw the front lines, but Stan in a way got deep- er into Canada than many fight ers. He fought his war with an off weapon, an old-fashioned oné. He carried no rifle, his tool was the stereoscope. Stereoscopes . . . perhaps if you are old enough to remember were the gadgets which used to hold a place of honor in grandma's front parlor. You put a couple of pictures in one end of the stereo- scope, place the glasses to your nose and slide the frame back and forth until the two pictures be- came one , ., , and instead of be- ing flat and two-dimensional . . . the picture became rounded, had depth . . . three dimensions. Looked At Pictures Stan Losee spent the war look- ing at pictures through a stereo- scope . . . but they were no scenes of Niagara Falls, or simpering bathing beauties. The pictures he studied so carefully in that little village in England, Medenhal, were photographs of bombings, of cities deep in Germany, of gun installations and factories . . , They were aerial photographs taken by fast-flying, stripped down "Mosquitoes" . . . who zoomed unarmed over Germany clicking their cameras and then returning with giant rolls of film. Stan lls of the strange forests he saw growing in Germany. You see, the Germans knew that lakes and rivers shone at night, especially when the moon was full , . . and they provided wonderful landmarks for the allied fliers. To coriceal them the Germans spread vast sheets of canvas over barges, then covered them with branches. They tried to make them look like forests, Losee laughs -- says we watched them build them by aerial photos -- then the boys would go over and bomb them to' pieces. He was trained to recognize camouflaged buildings from aerial photographs . . . looking at the photos with a stereoscope so that the pictures would have three dimensions. And to evaluate the effects of bombing. On Peaceful Mission 2 Today he is still working with stereoscopes and aerial photo- graphs, but it is on , a peaceful mission which will help not only us but our grandchildren, He' 'is in charge of the Photogrammet- ric Division of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company. Photograme metry, a new word -- but actually sleepy & Work Described F/L STANLEY LOSEE Whose intelligence work with the Royal Air Force, during World War II, was described in a recent CBO .hroadcast by John Fisher. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Losee, 148 Oshawa Boulevard, he is now carry- ing on special technical work for the Abitibi Pulp and Paper Come pany.
