Council Turns Down Plan To Rebuild Kohen Box Plant OSHAWA AILY TIMES-GAZ Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle ad TTE WHITRY VOL. 10--No. 37 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1951 PAGE THREE Trend Toward Social security Deplored 'By Rotary "I cannot help but feel that my generation and future generations are going to be mortgaged beyond redemption if the modern trend of social security and give-away Is continued. It is doubtful if we can keep up our present luxurious way of life and maintain an all-out war effort if it is demianded of us", de- clared E. C. Phillips, assistant to the general manager of the Con- sumers' Gas Company of Toronto, in an address to the Oshawa Ro- tary Club yesterday. Mr. Phillips, who 'spoke on the theme "Insecure Security", pointed to = number of flaws in our present scheme of social security, He. de- plored the present trend toward discouraging personal initiative, but voiced the opinion that when the time of testing is at hand Can- adians will choose opportunity and freedom rather than socialism to- d which they seem to .be drift- Charity Commended Emph: that he had no fault to find with charitable plans, the speaker said that the path we are now following leads away from rather than toward the security we seek. Political expediency was spurring us along the path to so- cialism. 'All political parties: were putting more and more emphasis upon security in their platforms and more and more insane induce- ments were being held forth to . attract voters, 'Mr. warned - that the hand-outs being given to the peo- ple of Canada were giving impetus usionary to inflation and only ill Speaker Little Theatre Looking For Active Workers One of the first problems with which the executive of the Osh- awa Little Theatre, which it is expected will be appointed at a public meeting of all interested in Little Theatre work on Thursday next at the Oshawa Recreation Centre, will be to recruit workers in all the many fields of activity which are necessary for successful dramatic presentations. Already tenative plans are under discussion for a second major pres- entation in May to follow the Theatre's successful production of "Angel Street" recently, and for a series of one-act plays which can provide a vehicle for the training of directors, actors and actresses, and in every field of backstage work, Anyone who is interested in di- recting, acting, make-up, stage carpentry, scenery decor, stage management, stage' arrangements, play reading, costuming, prompt- ing, radio, properties or work in the Children's Theatre, can have a lot of fun and make a valuable con- tribution to the Little Theatre by Joining up now. Forms to indicate the interests of prospective mem- bers were distributed with the "Angel Street" programs and addi- tional copies can be obtained at benefits were being received. He |cR A. charged that a welfare state and debt go hand in hand. Each family in Canada has a mortgage against it today of not less than $5,000 and further social sécurity measures cannot but add to the mortgage. If the means test for old age pen- sions is removed it will mean an- other $100 mortgage added to each family's burden, The members of the club were ned that if welfare plans are tended much further, the nation headed for economic collapse. . The big question today is whether there are enough taxpayers to foot the bill as the trend is toward starting work later in life and stopping at an earlier age than ever before to reap the benefits of pen- sions, As a result there were fewer people to foot the mounting tax . Easy To Be Dependent ° "It is too easy" Mr, = Phillips commen "to 'be dependent on hand-oufs and to lose sight of in- centive. Young people today are too dependent upon their parents and later too dependent upon the vernment to look after their wel- are and that of their families". Warning that the welfare state is a long step toward socialism, the speaker said that the welfare state as planned robs the individual of his freedom. Taxpayers eventually become slaves of the state as it is not easy to vote against the land- lord' which the government event- becomes. The present trend may well place the state in control pf .the votors rather than the vo- j7in control of the state as the is will be bought out with their own money. : ¥We do have adequate security in"Canada but we have lost sight of it. What we need is the develop- ment of our natural resources and a return to the initiative, courage and determination which charac- terized the livees of the pioneers", Baby's Crying Saves Family From Flames Sudbury, Feb. 13. -- (CP) -- The frightened crying of an 18-month- old baby saved the lives of her parents, her two-month-old sister and her grandfather early Sunday when their nearby four-room frame house burned to the ground.

The Canadian Council for the Blind and The Canadian National Institute Yb he Blind jointly sponsor this So often sighted people feel ill at ease and uncomfortable in the presence of the blind. In addressing them they may raise. their voices, as if deafness were a natural ac- companiment of blindness. The waitress frequently turns to the companion of the blind diner and asks, "Will he have sugar in his tea," or "Will he have ice cream on his ?" Recently an experienced b! worker disconcerted the wait- ress somewhat by answering before his companion had a chance, "Yes he will, and could you please bring him another roll?" © This feeling of strangeness with the blind is not normal, officials tell us, and often prover embarras- sing. Blind people enjoy the movies, They like to go-to wiener roasts and picnics; and, through the use of Braille, take part in bingo games and card parties. Swimming, bowl ing and even golf, are among the sports in which they can partici pate. In 36 of Canada's larger cities, The C.CB. and The C.N.IB., have formed clubs to provide recreation and entertainment for the sight- less. Popular their b is the fireside session where a speaker addresses them on current topics and answers questions after- | wards, Music and drama are other arts the blind enjoy in groups. They lis- ten to records together, bring in artists to their meetings, or pro- vide the entertainment themselves. The blind in' B.C. have two choral groups; and in Ontario are choral ~ groups and an orchestra, of which?' the members are sightless.

The Sulleys an Andersons tied their scores for first place. A record was made of this, contest which was later played. Ao tasteful lunch was served by Mr. and Mrs. Wilf Harris and their, committee, to climax another fine; evening's get-together. There was a fine attendance at Sunday School on Sunday after- noon. A film was shown on the World Conference held in Toronto last year. Miss Betty King read the commentary, and made it very ine teresting as she had attended the conference, and could add many personal bits ' of information not included in the-script.

Others Dog License Fees Raised By Council | After much discussion and inde- cision on the part of the members of City Council the by-law raising licence fees for dogs in this muni- cipality finally was passed. At last night's specia} meeting of council the by-law which will make it al- mos' prohibitive to have more than one dog was approved. The by-law was the subject of much discussion at a meeting of council a week ago when two amend- melts were introduced, one of which would have had the effect of null- ifying the by-law and the other making exceptions in" the 'case of farm dogs. One amendment which allows farm dogs to remain untic during the summer Months received ap- proval last night along with the main body of the by-law. Under the verms of the by-law the fee for dogs will be $3 for the first, $10 for the second and $25 for each succeeding animal over two years of age. For unspayed bitch- es licences are even steeper. The charge for the first animal will be $10, for the second $25 and for each succeeding over two years, $50. Alderman Wesley Powers who in- troduced one; of the amendments at an earlier meeting, that which would hav: nullified the by-law but provided a heavier penalty for infractions that is for having un- licenced animals, did not think the procedure throughout had been quite regular. He recalled that there had been discussion at the first meeting after which the question was voted upon. When there was a deadlock in the vote Mayor Starr said that he would wait for a week before casting the deciding ballot. This week members of council, on the suggestion of Alderman Finley Dafoe, decided to re-open and re-consider the whole question. Accordingly a motion to that effect was introduced and a two-thirds vote of council obtained. Feels Hunters Penalized The persons who would be penal- ized were those who liked to hunt and had more than one dog: for that reason, Alderman Powers said. He thought to begin with that the fees were prohibitively high. The time was coming, said Alder- man Evelyn Bateman, when this city, along with many others, was going to have to disallow en- tirely dogs running at large. They were gettfag to be a nuisance in Oshawa and it was time some of their owners were curbed. Chief's Son Faces Serious Court Charge Port Hope, Feb. 13--Ralph Carey, 26, local funeral director, father of two children and son of Chiel of Police Willlam Carey of Cobourg, was released from jail here on the weekend after being charged with criminal assault against a young married woman. Bail was set at 3 | $5,000. The charge against Carey carries a maximum sentence of death. He will appear in court here Friday. Police said Carey broke into the home of a 25-year-old woman, whose husband was at work. Her 18-month-old baby was sleeping in a crib beside her bed. -She told investigators she pleaded with the intruder. She recognized the man and he was arrested shortly after leaving her home. Police said there had been a long fight. The intruder had entered the house through a cellar window. Carey, a veteran of the R.CAF., lives with his wife and two chil- dren three doors from the scene of the attack. Police said he had never been in trouble before. He was arrested by Police Chief Charles Graham, of Port Hope, and On Loose members of City Council who board room of the P.U.C. building. Engineer Reports Foundation Built Stones A plan to erect a new building which would be incorpor- ated in the present ruined walls left standing after the fire of about a year ago, which destroyed the factory of the Ko- hen Lumber Company, was given short shrift last night by held a special meeting in the Morris Kohen appeared before Leduc Field 0il Boom Is 4 Years Old Leduc, Alta., Feb, 13--(CP)--One of Canada's lustiest industrial ba- hies, the Leduc oil-field today cele- | brates its fourth birthday. But {unlike most four-year-olds, Leduc will be more interested in growing fod earning than ceremony or birth- | day cake. ' The official ceremony marking its birth Feb. 13, 1947, saw 500 dignitaries mustered in a wind- swept farm field for the kick- off of production at a wildcat well that hit pay dirt in a Devonian limestone reef, 5,000 feet below the surface. The anniversary finds 545 wells producing oil in an area 14 miles long and eight miles wide; straddling the North Saskatchewan River seven miles- west of here. A new model town--Devon--has blossomed with the oil. derricks to house the work- ers and their families. A $4,000,000 gas-processiag plant has been built to separate marketable gas from the "wet" gas which brings up the oil. In its four-year life, Leduc has produced more than 24,300,000 bar~ rels of crude. Posted field price is $3.05 a barrel. Production, curtailed now by market limitations, is ex- pected to rise sharply when Alberta oi] starts moving across the Great Lakes next spring.. All winter oil has been flowing through the inter- provincial pipe line from Edmonton to Superior, Wis, for storage until spring break-up. With the opening of the eastern market, oil officials estimate that Alberta production will rise as much as 30 per cent. The spectacular growth of the Leduc field itself has been overshadowed by the big oil boom it touched off and by the dis« covery of its big sister field at Red- water, 5 miles the other side of Ed- monton. Redwater has more wells, bigget output, greater reserves and more costly leases. But Leduc provided the spark that started it all. WANTS JOBS FOR ALL Milan, Italy, Feb. 13 -- (Reuters) --Alfred Cardinal Schuster, arch- bishop of Milan, yesterday urged the Ttalian government to fight Communism by providing jobs for the country's unemployed "a veritable sixth column." hl il. with an Toronto architect, a structural engineer and Allin Annis K. C. to present his plan to the city administrators, He had made application for a building per mit, he said, and had been refused by the City Engineer's department on the grounds that erection of a building under the plan he sub- mitted would constitute an ine fraction of local building by-laws. His only recourse was tc come' to council in an e'fort to have the departmental decision overruled. Final decision of council was te concur in the refusal. . Building Plan Explained The plan, as explained to mem- bers of City Council, was to erect a building on the site of the present fire-gutted ruin on the north side of William Street. 'The building would be erected in such a way that the weight of the roof would be taken by steel pillars. The press ent walls would be used from ground level to the tops of the windows where they would be - supported with steel frames. From thems mn the walls would: be built up &1 a new roof constructed. The plans, as prepared by the Toronto archi- tect, Mr. Caplan, provided that trusses and supports would carry all the load and the walls would merely be there "to keep out thé wind and the rain." ' City Engineer Wesley Dempsey said that his staff had made several test holes along the walls. It w found that the foundation w: made only of loose stone wi mortar. In some places the walls were plumb and in others the over- hang to the street was three inches, There were loose and cracked bricks in the wall, Generally it was in poo shape, : "The foundation only is three feet deep furthermore", said Alder- man Wesley Powers. y A Simple Decision So far as Alderman Finley M. Dafoe was concerned it was simple matter of whether or not the by- law was going to be enforced Council would not give some person who needed a permis. sion to erect a building on posts or an inadequate foundation. Why should permission be given inthis instance, ? Mr. Kohen sald that he owned one-half of the lot and a family estate owned the other. He was in no hurry to build but the estate thought a building should be erec< ted and was prepared to go ahead if the necessary permit could be obtained. LY Speaking for his client Mr. Annis said that no threat was intended but he did not believe that a build~' ing would be erected if the plan was rejected by council and a permit refused, Members of council were almost charged under section 209 of the criminal code, Police said after the attack the room was wrecked and there was blood on the floor and walls, unanimous in their decision to sup= port the engineer's department.
