Operation Oshawa Children's 3 Aid Society Is "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL, 10--No. 83 OSHAWA-WHITBY, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1951 PAGE THREE 67th Anniversary Of Salvation Army Is Very Memorable Event 9 -- Anniversaries are memorable oc- casions at any time, but the 67th Anniversary celebrations of the lo- cal Shlvation Army corps this past weekend set the highlight for a long time. From far and near Sal- vationists and friends gathered to renew associations, meet old friends, and reminisce about the past. Commencing with a March of Witness on Saturday night, follow- ed by a Musical Festival given by the Brass and Timbrel Bands of | the North Toronto Corps, through the regular morning and evening services, as well as the Great An- niversary Service in the afternoon, the week-end was crammed full of | activity. | Musicians Excell Themselves The musicians who participated in the Musical Festival excelled themselves. With music ranging from the solemn notes of Beetho- ven's Dead March to the jollity and mirth of a children's. play- ground, it was all portrayed. The crowd: who overflowed every seat and every doorway enjoyed it to the limit. Of special mention was the delightful music of the Tim- brel Band, who played gymnastics with their tambourines, and charm- ed everyone. The cutting of the birthday cake followed in the low- er hall, Mrs. Thomas Coull and Mrs. Major Osbourn cut the cakes. The Sunday services were scenes of great spiritual uplift.

Rev. H. A. Mellow has been con- ducting a church membership class for these young people for the past six weeks. The service was very impressive, with Mr. Alex Morrow, member of Session and Superindent of the Senior Church School, asking that they be admitted. A question as to why they wished admission brought the response from Richard Wilson, one of the candidates, that they had decided that this was their wish, The ceremony proceeded with the candidates coming forward to answer the questdons put to them. They received admonitions and in- structions from the Clerk of Ses- sion, George Perkin, and the chair- man of the Board of Stewards, Substitute Pet On Loan Stan Carkeek, and were asked to | accept these, to which they replied | in the affirmative. The ceremony was specially ar- ranged by Rev. H. A.

Mrs. Foote said the excavation has been there since last fall, with sev- eral inches of water in it. "I heard someone screaming, then my daughter ran in and said Ross was stuck.in the mud," she said. "I put on rubber boots and hurried out. I tried to free him, but couldn't. Then Mrs. Bruce Steven- son brought a spade and I dug him free." Mrs. Foote by then had sunk above her knees. Her boots had dis- appeared and she had to dig her- self out. She said she raced to the scene, a little over a block from her home, and found Ross "screaming frantic- ally as he sank deeper into the mud." She said the mud was above his knees and had filled his rubber boots. "He was just three feet from the water's edge and was frighten- ed 'to death. I went down the em- bankment and put my arms around his waist. Then I sank to my knees, and the more I struggled to gef us out the worse we got stuck, Fortu- nately I'd thought to grab a shovel as I left the house, and I used it to get us out," she said. Mr. Foote said her son had fal- len 'over in his fight to free him- self and sunk his arms into the mud up to his elbows. He was cov- ered from head to toe with mud. She said: "It's just a miracle that he didn't fall face-down and be- come smothered. The area is dotted with water-soaked lots that are a constant danger to children in this district. It's about time city council did something about it. I phoned the police and the engineer's office and they said there was nothing they could do." There are several muddy lots cov- ered with water in the neighbor- hood, which are dangerous for chil- dren, Mrs. Foote said. City officials L Discussed Some Questions In Relation To Operation Cleared At the regular monthly meeting of the Children's Aid Society which was held in the Children's Residence last Thursday evening, considerable time was given to the dise cussion of questions which have been asked of the Society by the joint Committee of the councils of Ontario County of the City of Oshawa. This committee has been set up at the request of the Council of the City of Oshawa, to ascertain whether the present residence is an essential part of the Society set-up or whether some' alternative plan can be evolved. This meeting was under the chairmanship of Neil G Fraser, K.C,, in the absence of President D. M. Coombes, and Mr. Ecker, one of the Supervisors of the Department of Child Welfare, who was making one of his regular visits to the so« ciety, was also present. Statistics Pr ted . The first question asked by the committee, concerned the number of children in care of the Society and the manner in which they are cared for. ! ® The Society's statistics as of February 28, 1951, showed that a total of 369 children were being supervised, of these, 261 were wards of the Society, and 108 were non-wards. Of the wards, 172 only are in pay care; 27 were at the residence, 145 were in boarding homes; of -the balance, 32 were in free or work homes, 12 were in adoption homes on a free home basis; 18 are the wards of other societies in homes in this county and supervised by this Society's workers, 16 are wards of this So- ciety who are in other counties, mostly working and maintaining themselves but being supervised for our Society, and 11 are in mental or correctional institutions. During the general discussion of | this matter several points were brought out for clarification, among them were: (1) That it is only for the chil- dren in pay-care, that is 172 out of the 369, that the Society receives maintenance from the municipality. (2) That the children in free and wage homes were mostly chil- dren over school age who were working and supporting themselves, but being under .21 years of age, were being supervised by the Society. (3) That the 108 non-wards are Conference Speaker REV. WILLIAM W.

Folk School Proves Very Popular The Folk Schools being held each Thursday evening in the Uxbridge High School will continue again this Thursday evening, April 12. Last week Harold Harton and Miss Orphie Orr, Community Pro- grams, Toronto, assisted with the Folk School Program, and their assistance was very much appre- ciated. Mr. Harton announced that the Folk School Festival will be held in the new Community Centre, College and Spadina, Toronto, 'on Tuesday, April 24, » The Beaverton Junior Farmers put on their play, "Princess O'Toole" in the Uxbridge Music Hall, on Friday evening, April 6. This play was sponsored by the Uxbridge Junior Farmers -for the benefit of the Cottage Hospital Fund. The Annual Junior Farmer Con- ference is being held again this year at the O.A.C., Guelph, on April 22, 23 and 24. Eighteen delegates are attending from the four Junior Farmer organizations in Ontario County. A list of the eighteen dele- gates will be announced later. B the reasons why..an election will not be held in June was because Premier Leslie Frost is awaiting un- til the proposed.,Federal-provin- cial agreement on,old-age pensions is enacted by Ottawa. , Mr. Jolliffe said, , Premier Frost apparently plans to call a special session to pass 2 hill to bring On- tario under the plan. Under the p.oposed pension agreement, the federal government will pay for pensions without a means test for all' persons 70 years and over. It will join with the provincial government to share the cost of pensions with a means test for persons between 65 and 69. The Frost government, Mr. Jol- | liffe said, is eager for the day | when the federal government pass- es the legislation. It is quite ap- parent to all of us they are anxious to get the pension plan into effect by January 1, 1952, "Mr. Frost wants all the public- ity possible, "The C.C.F. leader said, "The premier has told us no legislation has been passed in On- tario because they are awaiting the next step by the federal govern- ment. No Bonus In Ontario He told the large gathering that the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta are paying their old age pensioners bonuses but that "Ontario, the wealthiest province in the Dominion, will not add an- other nickel to the $40 monthly re- ceived by the pensioners. They were urged to do it, even by some of their own members, but Mr. Frost said no, yet, the government has rolled up a surplus of a hun- dred million dollars during the past four years". The opposition leader maintain- ed the price of living was bother- ing the people today more than the price of milk. "The C.C.F. party has been urg- ing the implementation of price controls since the war. Now the Tories are in favor of controls, al- though sometimes they are afraid to say so," Mr. Jolliffe stated, not- ing that the C.C.F. and P.C. party members voted in favor of price controls at Otvawa recently. He recounted that he had beg- ged Premier Frost, during the last session, to urge Ottawa to bring in Price controls but that Mr. Frost said he did not think it was the business of the Ontario legislature to give advice to Ottawa. "To say it is not our business is crazy," Mr. Jolliffe said, "No- body can look us in the eye and "I am going to try and get in | touch with the Department Highways right away," Reeve O. E.| Crockford stated when discussing | a recent letter from the Collegiate | Heights Ratepayers Association in| regard to a 30 mile limit on the Kingston Road and traffic lights. | "I believe if we could secure the| traffic lights this would slow up; the speed," said the Reeve. | "I was happy to hear from J. A.! Leslie our former M.P.P., that the Province intend to zone the Kingston Road for speed," Councillor George Barker told the Mail. "We will still | need, however, traffic lights in the vicinity of schools. There is a terrible hazard at Stop 17, where the Collegiate is located. There are 1200 pupils in that schopl and it is a wonder that, there has not been more tragedies at that spot," he' said. The Mail was informed that the Province had taken notice of the petition by the residents and the strong public opinion in regard to the speed on this highway but spec- ial legislation will have to be pro- mulgated as the Kingston Road is considered a controlled highway. | Mr. Leslie, however, had written | notice from the Deputy-Minister J. | | | | Miller that this would be taken care of in the near future. say there is no need for controls as | we are getting back to normal. We | are not getting back to normal. | There has been no peace in the | world since 1945." | The C.C.F. Ontario leader said he thought that if price controls were put into effect by Ottawa to- | morrow the cost of living would | keep rising "but it would slow down the rise". | One of the reasons price controls are not in effect now, Mr. Jolliffe, EQUAL PAY ACT (Continued on Page 2) |} | | in itch | If your skin itches and burns because of | | Eczema, Psoriasis, Red Blotches, Pi | y , Pimples Blackheads or Acne, making you em ar. | rassed and uncomfortable, try NIXODERM tonight.
