No Support For Cemete THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 10--No. 114 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1951 PAGE THREE Over 2,000 Exhibits Expected for Annual C.R.A. Hobby Fair re Hundreds of hobby addicts in Oshawa and district are now pre- paring to display their prize pos- sessions and skills at the Third An- nual Hobby Fair sponsored by the Community Recreation Association. Some 2,000 exhibits are expected to be on view at the Oshawa Recrea- tion Centre from May 29 to June 2 and the long list of judges who will choose the winners of the 26 troph- ies and ribbon awards are going to have a big task. Encouraged by the response and the wide array of exhibits entered by hobbyists in the last two years, the 1950 Hobby Fair Committee has made provision to accommodate every conceivable hobby from home- made power boats to flower ar- rangement. There are 20 depart- ments and 126 sections, and even if that isn't enough, a section en- titled, "Other Hobbies" has been provided. A full list of all depart- ments and sections is given below. Six Age Classes Open to every hobbyist or collec- tor in Oshawa and district, entries are divided into six age classes so that the beginner is not competing with the veteran. There are troph- jes and awards for each class and department and special awards for C.R.A. members. There is no entry fee for exhibitors and entries are being accepted at the Recreation Centre from May 17th to May 22nd inclusive. For some time hobbyists have been using the facilities of CR.A., the Y.W.CA., Simcoe Hall and many other club headquarters to complete their exhibits. Judging day this year will be on Monday, May 28 and the official opening ceremony will be on Tues- day, May 29 at 7.30 pm. The Hobby Fair is administered by a Sub-Committee appointed by the C.R.A. Program Committee and chaired by Eric McVeity who has done such wonderful work on the 1949 and 1950 committees. On the 1951 Committee are Mrs. A. Per- fect, Miss D. Van Luven, Miss Mary Andrews, A. Perfect, R. H. Broad- bent, Charles Jolliffe and Harold McNeill.

GROUP EXHIBITS, TAX ON TALL DOGS Pietermaritzburg, South Africa -- (CP)-- A tax of £5 ($15) is to be levied on all dogs over 15 inches at the shoulder shéep-breeding areas of Natal. This ends a five- year search for a. legal definition of a dog that can Kil sheep. To Consider Cost of New City Hall A special meeting of city council will be called, probably this week, to discuss the matter of increased estimates of cost in the construction of a new city hall for the City of Oshawa. The architect was present at last night's regular meeting with plans but it was decided that enough time did not remain and that a special meeting would be held. The original cost of $375,000 for the new city hall will be greatly ded, it is expected and council will be faced with the choice of either accepting a great reduction jn the size of the city hall or alloting pore money for its construction. "It is getting ridiculous," said Mayor Michael Starr. "Here we are a city of 40,000 people and our ad- ministrative offices are in rented premises. We are merely tenants and I hear that our rent is going to be raised again." Six Members Inducted By Rotary Club Six new members were inducted into the membership of the Osh- awa Rotary Club at its luncheon meeting yesterday. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. George Tel- ford, who was .assisted by Rev. D.M. Rose, C. R. McIntosh, W. H. Karn and A. E. O'Neil. In his address to the new mem- bers Rotarian O'Neill explained what a Rotary Club is and what it does. He said that essentially Ro- tary is a service club with the local club channelling its efforts to as- sist crippled children in the com- munity. He paid glowing tribute to the members of the club who had served as chairman of the Crip- pled Children's Committee. In closing he warned against the use of the club as a means for self advancement and self advertising. The new members of the club are Dr. D. E. Sturgis, Dr. Claude Vi- pond, Mervyn Vant, Stanley Lovell, Newton Richards and Ted Rose. Ford Final Assembly Plant Closed Down Windsor, May 15 -- (CP) -- The final assembly plant of the Ford Motor Company of Canada was temporarily closed Monday after a dispute between management and employees over the firing of a worker. The dispute resulted in 1,200 men being sent home. A company spokesman said the company or- dered the plant shut down after the men in the body section refused to resume their jobs after the after- noon rest period. ng plant reopened for the 4 pm. shift. Dog Cruelty Case Put Off Till May 29 Charged with ill-treating dogs, Mrs. M. H. Page, of Toronto, ap- peared before Magistrate Frank 8. Ebbs in Whitby today and was re- manded until May 29. John Hare, Whitby solicitor, acted for Mrs. Page. The charge was laid following the finding of 63 dogs cooped u in Jiny box-like pens in a dar Pickering Township barn earlier this month. One dog was blind. Others were suffering malnutrition and dis temper. Some of the dogs had to be destroyed. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A classified ad and the deal is made. Fe on he "Headache?.. take a Disprin" Why DISPRIN® Because DISPRIN is soluble and substantially neutral. When taken in water as recommended, it enters the stomach as o true solution and not as undissolved particles. It is therefore less liable to cause stomach discomfort. DISPRIN is readily absorbed. Because it definitely dissolves (not merely disintegrates) DISPRIN permits speedy absorption and gives fast relief. DISPRIN is palaieble. Even children will take it readily. ooo FOR PAIN RELIEF * MAKERS OF 'DETTOL' ANTISEPTIC. .. RECKITT & COLMAN (CANADA pr HE $ ) LIMT TED, PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION, MONTREAL Science Progresses For 50 years we have used little white tablets-- acetylsalicylic acid --for relief of pain. Today this familiar painkiller is available in a new form without the disadvan- tages of acidity, insolubility and bitter taste. It is called 'DISPRIN' and is sold at druggists every- where. 'DISPRIN' is available in Bottles of 26 tablets or Handy Pocket Folders of 8. > SAFE SPEEDY PLEASANT RED Jot City Council Briefs City Council met last night for its regular weekly session and got part way through the agenda pre- '| pared. A letter was received from the Planning Board stating that in a letter, considered at a previous meeting, there was a typographical error. The letter should have said that it did approve the application of Conger Lehigh Fuels for a ser- vice station on King Street west and not "did not". Having refused the application, partly on the suggestion of the original letter, council adhered to its original decision. The refusal stands. A request from Glecoff Groc- meateria to make alterations in the Ritson Road building occupied by the merchant was referred to the City Engineer. A letter was received from the Oshawa and District Labor Coun- cil asking speed in the distribution of plaques from the city to veter- ans of the 1939-45 war. The matter was "well in hand", Alderman Rae Halliday told members of council. He said that between 1,200 and 1,500 plaques had been given out and there remained a final list of about 100. The Oshawa 'and District Labor Council, in a letter, asked council to request federal and provincial assistance in a 100 unit low-cost housing program and, furthermore, to stop companies tearing down houses in Oshawa to make sites for gasoline stations, The labor group will be informed that coun- \ cil has no authority over the dem- olition of houses, The grant busi- ness will be investigated further. An offer was received from G. P. Tucker, Verdun Road, offering the conveyance of a piece of his pro- perty if the city wished to extend Chadburn Street in a southerly direction. A report will be asked for from the City Engineer and Planning Board. Glen - Road and Malaga Streets felt that a city- engaged construction company had, in building roads, done a good deal of harm to his property--$75 worth in fact. His letter was referred to the Board of Works. P. Glowaski, City Council concurred in a reso- lution forwarded by the City of Kitchener asking that sales and excise taxes on fire fighting equip- ment be exempted. Council will give 'its support to to the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics by asking all citizens to co- operate in supplying information, which will be held secret, when the census is taken this year. The Planning Board is continu- ing to try and find a suitable site for the W. and J. Sagar Com- pany, for the leather industry it hopes to establish in Oshawa. The Traffic and Transportation Committee will investigate the merits of placing a stop light at the intersection of Simcoe Street North and Rossland Road. Alder- man Evelyn Bateman said that traffic "whizzes" by that corner. Ontario County Girls Presented With Pins Forty-seven girls representing five Homemaking Clubs in Ontario County attended an Achievement Day for the unit "Clothes Closets Up To Date" at the Uxbridge High School on Saturday, May 12, Miss Ruth Shaver, Home Economist, welcomed the girls, Club Leaders, Women's Institute members and friends, She was assisted in the day's program by Mrs. Montgomery of Toronto and Miss R. Hunt, Home Economist, of Newmarket. Each club member exhibited a record book and the clothes closet accessories which she had made which included such articles as gar- ment cover, laundry 'bag, covered hanger, shoe packs and shoe rack, hat stand and cover and boudoir box. They spent the morning judging classes of garment covers, 1 d Canadian Poster Helps UK Churches ' Aberdeen, Scotland--(CP)--Walk down University Road here and you will be confronted by a large Cana- dian poster. Depicting a tiny country church it bids: "Come to church--every life needs an altar and faith for test- ing times" The posters were presented to Britain HED a British billposting company could not get permission to buy them in Canada. From many parts of Britain, re- quests for copies are reaching church- officials in Aberdeen. Au- thorities believe the posters will help boost the recent 'back to church" movement. Fine Display Of Flowers Of Spring The regular monthly meeting of the Oshawa Horticultural Society was held last evening in Centre Street School Auditorium with an excellent audience. Many new mem- bers were 'present. The first part of the program was presented by Dr. Neil McEwen of Whitby who spoke on trees. His humorous expressions along with his timely instructions on the planting and care of trees and their value to mankind kept the audience deep- ly interested and amused. He stress- ed the fact that the once rich soils of Southern Ontario have become poor because of the extensive cut- ting of the forests and he advised the younger generation to carry on the work of reforestation and so in the future humus may be restored and the water levels regained. Following Dr. McEwen's talk a period of colored slides on gladioli was given by Duncan MacWilliams, and a commentary was read by George Blatter dealing with the well-known varieties and their care. The spring flower show was held at this meeting and a large num- ber of entries were received, adding a colorful touch. The judge was Fred Ing of Whitby and prizes were as follows: : 3 Daffodils, trumpet style -- 1st prize, Mrs. L. Guy; 2nd, L. Karnath; 3rd, Mrs. M. Coates. 3 Narcissus with trumpet 1/3 or more in length of the perianth -- 1st prize, Mrs. O. Weeks; 2nd, L. Karnath; 3rd, R. Branton. 3 Narcissus with trumpet . less than 1/3 length of the perianth -- 1st prize, Mrs. L. Guy; 2nd, Mrs. E. Carlton; 3rd, B. Morgan. Vase of 7 mixed Daffodils and Narcissus--1st prize, Mrs. L. Guy; 2nd, Miss Betty Ann McMullen; 3rd, Mrs. E. Carlton. * Vase of Spring Flowers--I1st prize, Mrs. O. Weeks; 2nd, Miss L. Stain- ton; 3rd, Mrs. S. Moore. Dish Garden--I1st prize, R. Bran- ton; 2nd, Mrs. L. Guy; 3rd, Mrs. R. Kirk. A successful sale of perennials roots was presented by Mrs. E. San- ford and her committee. Tickets are now on sale for the Tulip Tea to be held on May 23 from 3 to 6 and 7 to 9 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Guy, Simcoe Street North. URGES FLEXIBILITY Washington, May 15 (AP)--Chair- man George W. Taylor of the 18- man wage stabilization board told Congress Monday wage controls should be flexible. enough to avoid any slow-down in the United States' defence production program. He said it is up to the 18-man wage board to decide whether a general wage policy change is due. The present policy imposes a 10- per-cent ceiling on wage increases above the levels of January, 1950. ry Board Expropriation Plan Council Favors Entrance From Thornton's Road City Council last night refused to support the Cemetery Board in its request that the city begin proceedings to ex- propriate a piece of land on the south side of King Street and immediately across from Union Cemetery. The Board felt that it needed this land, with a frontage of 275 feet and a depth of 210 feet, to provide an entrance to 27 acres of land it had acquired also on the south side of the road and across from the present burial ground. ~ Gas Dealers Must Reach Agreement When Oshawa retail gasoline dealers are able to arrive at some sort of an amicable agreement between themselves about hours and -conditions of sale then city council will be willing to listen to them. The' dedlers, who have been bickering on and off for yedrs be- fore, during and after annexation, appeared en masse last night. Council refused to see them. Hallways and corridors were crowded at the beginning of the meeting. The two opposing factions, independent dedlers and members of the -Dealers' Association both had large numbers on hand. "I understood that we going to see deputations only once a manth and then at the council chamber," said Alderman Clifford Harman. Other members agreed and Alderman Finley M. Dafoe wondered why "we don't stick to the rule or throw it out". In any event, said Alderman Dafoe, there was nothing council could do. One group wanted to stay open the other to close. Council was the "pickle in the middle". With that he moved that the dealers be notified that until council had, in its possession, a petition signed by . a sufficient number of dealers to indicate the will of the majority it would take no action, One representative of each fac- tion was called in and briefly told of the decision. "If we are going to start dealing with this sort of trivia", said Mayor Michae] Starr, "we will have no time for anything else. We should refuse to act as arbitrators in any such dog fight". SAVED FROM DROWNING Peterborough, May 15--(CP)--Ru- pert Lucas, Toron{o radio producer, held Jack Arthur, Toronto movie company executive, from sinking after their boat swamped in rapids at the outlet of Buskhorn Lage, 20 miles north of here, Saturday. With their guide, Glen Hall of Buckhorn, they were swept 200 feet downstream before a second boat rescued them. were | Council's attitude -was that an "entrance to the 27 acres which was acquired to allow for expane sion of Union Cemetery, might well - be gained from Thornton's Road and that the city had no right at all to uproot two home-owners. Another consideration was thal the Cemetery Board which wrote council under the name of its . Chairman Dr. W. H. Gifford, had had the oppdrtunity to acquire this land off and on over 20 years and particularly in the past two years or so. Why did it wait until the two householders, Messrs. Goldman and Wright bought the land before it took steps to acquire the pro perty. "I am definitely not in favour", said Alderman 'Firdley M: Dafoe, "What right have we got to dise turb these people in their homes. I understand one at least of them is about ready to retire". Alderman William Noble said that the property nearby which was being taken over by the city from Mr. A. Robinson was availe able. He did not agree that it was not suitable for use as a cemetery. He heard, he said that they wanted this large piece of land not only for an entrance but also for a site for a home for the caretaker, Surely the present occupants of the land had as much right. Why invest thousands in land when more and more people were thinking about cremation, asked Alderman Evelyn Bateman. It was true, she said, that it was in the minds of more and more people. The Cemetery Board got scang sympathy in its request. Nearly Million Auto Workers Get Raises Detroit, May 15 -- (AP) -- Nearly 1,000,000 C.I.O. automobile workers will get raises of six or seven cents an hour starting June 1, it appeared Monday. Management and union spokese men said the cost of living went up enough during .the three-month period ended April 15 to give them an additional two or three cents, In addition to this boost under escalator clauses in scores of aute industry contracts, virtually all the workers would get a guaranteed four-cent "annual improvement face tor" for the first of the month, This is to compensate for technolo gical advances and has no relation to the. cost of living. bags and in the planning of acces- sories suitable for a clothes closet. In the afternoon, one member of each club commented on their club exhibit, "Clothes Closets Up To Date". Each club also presented enjoyable skits and demonstrations on the same topic. At the conclusion ot the day's program, Kay Prentice of the Scu- gog club was named to represent Ontario County at the 4-H Club Congress in Chicago in late Novem- ber. Kay has been an outstanding club member and as well is Vice- President of the Port Perry Junior Institute. Six Girls Awarded Pins Six club members were presented with County Honor Pins and Cer- tificates for having completed six Homemaking projects. These girls were: Ernestine Cooper of the Al- tona Club, Joan Ross of the Bea- verton Club, Mrs. Don Gerrow, Kay Prentice and Jean Samells of the Scugog Club and Betty Leek of the Sandford Club. Each club member receives a Certificate of Achievement for every two projects which she com- pletes. Ruth Risebrough of the Sand- ford Club received her certificate of Achievement for completing eight projects, Those who have complet- ed four projects include: Glenna & Faye Drake of the Beaverton Club, Marina Kydd and Betty Burnham of the Sandford Club and Mary Wilson of the Scugog Group, A number of club members also received Certificates of Achievement for completing two projects.
