/ Hundreds Of Undeliverable Letters At Local Post ( Office. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 10--No. 115 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1951 PAGE THREE Kiwanis Speaker Urges Return to Spiritual Life By Canadians pe lL = "You cannot expect to put down wrong numbers and come up with the right answers," declared Ki- wanian Ken Greenaway, past: Dis- trict Governor of the Ontario-Que- bec-Maritime District of Kiwanis International, formerly of Guelph, who is now located with the head office of Zeller's Limited, at Mont- real, as executive Secretary of that organization, He was the guest speaker at yesterday's Kiwanis Club luncheon meeting at the Hotel Genosha and delivered an outstand- ing address that contained a chal- lenging message to all. Pointing out that Canada has reached its maturity in the 20th century and that through the cul~- mination into nationhood the threads of two great qualities, cour- age and initiative have run stead- fly throughout the progress of the] past fifty years, the speaker stress- ed that as Canadians and members of such organizations as service clubs, we must observe the Golden Rule, maintain Godliness, stead- fastness, co-operation and mutual understanding as well as proper rules of conduct and principles of action, if our nation is to confinue to prosper. Kiwanian Morley Wyman, man- ager of Zeller's Limited branch in this city, introduced the guest speaker, reviewing briefly Kiwan- jan Ken Greenaway's illustrious career as a Kiwanian as well as his business life. The thanks and ap- preciation of the Oshawa members and the several guests present, were suitably expressed by Kiwanian Jimmie Souch. Depression Left Imprint Basing his remarks on the theme "Where Do We Go From Here?" Mr. Greenaway said the depression in the 30's and World War II as well as the by-products of these two monumental events had left their imprint upon Canada and Ca- nadians. During the last 50 years, Canada had lived up to the pro- phecy made by the late Sir Wilfred Laurier and attained nationhood. While Canadians are a modest people dnd prone to belittle them- selves and the things they do, it is a fact that few nations have had more bravery poured into the mould of their making. The Do- minion has been blessed with men and women of vision, the courage of their convictions, statesmen of integrity and soldiers to fight her battles . with courage. Her rail- way builders played no small part in the uniting of the far-flung na- tion which occupies half a con- tinent. | : The development of Canada, Mr. Greenaway insisted, is a continuing story, but the time of real testing lies ahead and there is no reason te doubt that she will come through with flying colors. Canadians Science-Minded Canadians, he said, are a science minded people who are awed by nothing. However, the progress made had seemed to have removed the integrity of men and it would perhaps be as well return to a sense of servility. Canadians, he felt, should try to recapture the power which is beyond their own attain- ment--that of Jesus Christ. Mr. Greenaway deplored the trend which lays emphasis upon the se- curing of benefits by easy methods, rather than by the attainment of advancement through initiative and hard work. The democratic system in Canada had been under attack since 1914 and she had been called upon twice to defend the principles for which her people stand. Today there is a trend away from individual in- ijtiative to that of economic plan- ning. The present day symptoms of the trend include a growing awareness to noise with the poli- ticians lending an attentive ear to the noisiest. Human Liberties Destroyed While the word "planning" sug- gested order and efficiency, in real- ity it means the destruction of all human liberties where it advances to the stage of state planning. "Liberty is not something that is doled out," Mr. Greenaway stressed as he continued his attack on soc- jalism. "I don't believe by any plan you can iron out the inherent per- sonal characteristics and merits which so inseparably make up hu- man nature and makes all the dif- ference in man's achievements and value to society." The speaker pointed to Britain as an example of what state planning means. There, he said, the state has usurped the right of the citi- zens tq provide for himself. It had taken away his liberties and taken away rights which had been his for generations. Indeed. too much was being left to ministerial discretion. Emphasizing that there is no di- viding line between the social and the spiritual side of man's life, the speaker said that one of the prim- ary, needs today is an abundant faith in God, his country and his Coming Events NYLON PLASTIC DEMONSTRA- tion Thursday, 3 o'clock.

Pension at 65 Without "Test Resolutions in connection with the Veterans' Land Act, pensions and discharge, lapel pins were pass- ed by district F, Provincial Com- mand, Canadian Legion, over the' week-end. Legion branches from the area, Ajax to Belleville to Ban- croft, sent delegates to the annual meeting, which was held at the Madoc Armories. The resolutions were drawn up at zone F-5's annual meeting a month ago for presentation at the district meeting. The first asks that the Veterans' Land Act be amended so that the 10 per cent paid down out of soldiers' credits when purchas- ing 'land will be refunded after a definite period of time. The branches want the veterans | 65 years without a means test. The third resolution dealt with the reissuing of discharge pins for World War II veterans. This cov- ers the reissuing of pins with the veteran's name and number on the back, similar to the discharge pins of World War I. All the resolutions passed will be submitted at the Provincial Com- mand annual meeting in August. F. P. Burke, president of Branch 52, was elected deputy district com- mander. Cobourg's Mayor John D. Burnett was elected as commander to succeed Frank Threadgold of Whitby. Sports officer for the dis- trict is Edward Rollings of Cobourg. They will assume their duties after the Provincial Command's annual meeting. Two presentations were made, the first a past district commander's badge to George Gimblett, Branch 52, and the second a brief case and purse to Frank Grant, district sec- retary and president of the Oshawa branch. Mr. Grant is retiring as secretary and his successor will be appointed by the district comman- der. Branch 52's delegation included F. P. Burke, Harold Yelland, George Gimblett and Hurrell Dodds. From the Lakefield branch were Cy Hop- kins, Zone F5 commander, Walter Chappell, president, George Wan- namaker, and Merton Stewart. A Seizes In Bolivia La Paz, Bolivia, May 16--(AP) -- The army seized the government of Bolivia today, President Memerto Urriolagoitia left the country and Gen. Hugo Balllvian was installed as president and defence minister by a military junta. The political color of the up- heaval in this turbulent, tin-rich country was not immediately clear. The military junta, however, is- sued a manifesto saying the new government would control the min- eral resources of the country and that these would be used "for the benefit of the public and in pro- jects for the progress and develop- ment of the nation." The .upheaval took place in an atmosphere of tension after the May 6 elections in which Victor Paz Estenssoro, exiled leader of the country's tin miners, won most votes but not enough to gain a clear majority which would entitle him automatically to the presidency. Deposed President Urriolagoitia departed the capital for Arica, across the border in Chile, Chip Wagon Request Is Turned Down Peterborough, May 16--The ap- plication of Norman O'Malley of Oshawa for a permit to operate a potato chips wagon here was turn- ed down by the finance committee of the council. it might aid the council in its de- cisions on any other applications of that kind if the question was refer- red to the ratepayers at the muni- cipal elections. Ald. Norman Gra- ham seconded his motion, but they agreed to withdraw it "temporarily" as requested by the majority of the committee. Canada with an annual coal out- put of 19,000,000 tons is twelfth largest coal producer in the world. fellowmen. In Canada the era of macs production has brought about a departure from the simple and Christian life. "Man cannot live without religion or in a vacuum. Too many are going through life bent only on making a living and in doing so are forgetting religion," | Mr. Greenaway said. ¥ * Al33yS OND IW to receive the old-age pension at | made for a financial campaign to Mayor Swanston suggested that; Hospital At Ajax Plans Fund Drive Ajax, May 16--At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Ajax General Hospital, held last night, officers were elected and plaans ROGER G. CONANT finance the establishment of the hospital. Roger G. Conant was eiected president of the Hospital Boaard, with F. V. Von Pilis, Pick- ering township, as vice-president, Mrs. Joan Wahl, Ajax as secretary and George Lawrence as treasurer. The board decided to set aside the month of June for a financial campaign in which it is hoped to raise a minimum. of $10,000, re- quired to move the present hospital buildings and equipment to a new site, and make it ready for opera- tion. Meetings will be held in every hamlet in Pickering township to arouse interest in contributing to the Ajax Hospital Fund. There will also be a house-to-house canvass of Ajax and the southern half of Pickering jownship, and a special appeal to service clubs and other community organizations in the area. If the financial campaign is suc- cessful, it is expected to have the hospital in operation in the latter part of this year. The present hospital buildings will be moved to a new site, further south, on the corner of Third Avenue and Harwood Avenue, where an ideal location has been provided by the Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation. The site has an area of five acres, and is on high land with an attractive wooded background. TANK TRACKS On Thursday evening the Regi- mental team took on the Recme team and after some very close competition ended up the victors by a close margin. Monday evening parade saw the Stick Man for the week to be Tpr. Greeley of A Squadron. For general information of all ranks there is on sale at very reasonable cost the new Regimental buttons. The officer's mess has a supply and other messes can ar- range stocks by contacting the 2 i/e. On the final parade to be held May 28 the Adjutant intends re- viewing the list of those inténding going to camp. Some change has occurred in the D and M courses only of which all should be aware or if in doubt read orders on this subject, New enlistments will have an opportunity on this last parade which incidentally is pay parade do enquire about camp. The Regimental Rod and Gun Club, we are sorry to report, didn't start the season with as big a bang as was expected. Frankly it was more like the sound of Junior's pop gun. However, what was lack- ing in manpower was more than made up in fish. The four stal- warts, Adams, Cole, Howe, and Rolls brought back 16 nice pickerel between them. The party left Oshawa Friday night and arrived in Fenelon Falls at 0005 hrs. Saturday morning. Fishing commenced immediately and first honors went to Johnny Rolls at 0015 hrs. Smokey Cole then took over and caught three with the same minnow. This was due to necessity as Larry Adams was donating minnows to our pick- erel friends at the rate of one a minute. Kevin Howe then caught his line on a snag (first time I ever heard a fish called that) and was quite surprised when the chap next to him, who offered to assist him in getting his line clear, brought it up with a fish on it. Adams then donated another min- now. Adams then donated another | minnow. Rolls caught anothef | fish. Adams donated another min- | now. Cole caught another.

Building fr Things are shaping up for the big event of the Oshawa hobbyists' year, the Third Annuai C.R.A. Hob- by Fair which is being held this year from May 29 to June 2. From 2 pm. to 430 pm. and 7 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. tomorrow and every day until May 22, will be acceptance days, and the CR.A. staff will be busy at the Recreation Centre re- ceiving, tagging and arranging the two thousand exhibits which it is estimated will be on display at this year's Fair, Exhibits in all except one of the twenty departments into which the Fair is divided, must be received at the Recreation Centre by 9.30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 22. An exception is made in the Home Cooking Department where entries will be accepted up to Monday, May 28. Officials say that there is every indication that the 1951 Fair will again be a show window of the hobby interests of this part of On- tario. Advance issues of entry forms make it clear that exhibitors come from every age group, pro- fession and walk of life in Oshawa and district. The diversity of ex- hibits and the wide range of cre- ative talents shown by exhibitors is a tribute to the richness of the leisure time interests of the people in this area. Already with some 200 exhibits received at the Recre- ation Centre from entrants who for one reason or another cannot make the official acceptance days, the work being made ready for dis- play includes delicate ceramics, pictorial art of all types, stamp col- lections, as well as the better known work in leather, shells, wood and plastics. List of Departments The list of departments Leathercraft, Shellcraft, Weaving, Woodworking, Model Building, Col- lections, Pictorial Art and . Design, Photography, Ceramics, Metalcraft, Sculpture, Plastics, Sewing and Fancy Work, Smallcrafts, Boat Building, Home Cooking, Scout- craft and Campcraft, Fishing, Mis- cellaneous and Non-Competitive Group Exhibits--each of them sub- divided into at least half a dozen sections, ensures that whatever their interest, every man, woman and child in Oshawa who makes things or collects things in their leisure hours, can find a place to display their handiwork at this years' Fair. And the man who doesn't make or collect things, can learp--and surprise himself in' the learning--just how wonderful are the creative talents of the man next door. An imposing array of judges has been lined up for Judging Day, Monday 28.. All day long depart- mental judges, each of them a highly qualified specialist in the field .of hobby activity in which they are giving their services, will be handing out Hobby Fair awards, special awards and "commendeds." Finally in each department, the judges will select the outstanding exhibit, taking into account the age of the entrant, craftsmanship, design and purpose, to receive a special 'challenge trophy offered for annual competition through the generosity of Oshawa businessmen and individual citizens. To ensure impartiality, every exhibit is identified by number only. On Tuesday, May 22, comes the culminating point of the judging when a big panelgof Grand Award judges meet to ect the exhibits which for the ensuing year will hold the seven Grand Award chal- lenge trophies donated by General Motors of Canada Ltd, The Osh- awa Times-Gazette, the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, the Lions Club of Oshawa, the Central Council® of Neighborhood Associations, C.R.A, staff and Horwich Credit Jewellers. Six of these Grand Award trophies will go to the outstanding exhibits in each of the age classes into which the Fair is divided, while. the Horwich trophy is awarded to the exhibit showing the greatest originality.

Blame Transient Workers o Pe Much of the trouble is caused by the increasing number of transient | workers, who remain in the city only | a short time. Even if they do obtain | a job they often move to a -dif- ferent rooming house within the city. In either case, they are prone to neglect to leave a forwarding address of any kind. A directory service is maintained for first-class mail to obtain the proper address of incorrectly ad- dressed letters but the post office is unable to trace anybody who is not listed in either the telephone or city directories. Circular material forms a large part of this undeliverable mail be- cause many manufacturers and dealers are using out-of-date mail- ing lists, in the opinion of Mr. Moran. Some of these lists may have been compiled several years ago and the rapid expansion and change in this city has made them practically useless. Some out-of-town firms, particu- larly those in the United States, still persist in merely addressing their mail to J. J.

'Some of | addresses of some of the long-term residents and are able to address the letters correctly." "Our younger employees are un- able to do this, however, and neither the young nor the old are able to keep up with the rapid influx into the city." Most of the letters which are not properly addressed have return ad- dresses and can be sent back. Those with no return address are for- warded to the Dead Letter Office. Here they may be opened and an attempt made to find the address of the sender.
