Rotary Fair Parade Is Bigger Seven Bands Add Color and Variety To Annual Event The cavalcade which wound its way last night from Al- exandra Park to Rotary Park was about as good as any to open the Rotary Fair there seen in Oshawa. It had mu- sic, color, variety and volume. The streets along the route from park to park were jam-packed and the people seemed "to enjoy the show. The parade, which left Alexandra New Jaycee Officers Are Installed At the annual induction meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce held in the Adelaide House last night, Mayor Michael Starr con- ducted the swearing in of the new executive. He termed it a great hon- or to be called upon to perfofm this duty. Mayor Starr also made the pre- sentation for the first time of a cup, donated by retiring president, Jim Hare, for annual competition for the outstanding Jaycee of the year, to Alf Redknap, chosen by the executive as the man who had done the most for the Junior Chamber of Commerce this year. After the induction ceremony, the gavel was passed over to Don Lan- der, new president, by Jim Hare. Praising Jim for his good leader- ship in difficult times, Don Lander presented him with the Past Presi- dent's Pin. Outlining plans for the coming year, Don Lander expressed the hope that the membership would be increased considerably during the coming year. He announced that a membership drive would be launch- ed during the summer. He urged all members to turn in the names of prospective members to the execu- tive. Plans are being formulated to contact the Provincial Government for assistance in changing the site of the Tourist Information Booth to 2A Highway. It is hoped to obtain a site where the booth can be view- ed from a distance. The site of the booth will not be changed until the fall anyway. Several ideas for proposed pro- Jects for the Junior Chamber were brought to the attention of the members by Don Lander. He stated that these had not been diseussed with the executive as yet and were just suggestions. At the start of the meeting, a report on the Stock Car Races was given by Bruce Allin, In his report, he stated that the Races were a success from both the financial standpoint and the standpoint of crowd appeal. The annual report of the presi- dent, in which he gives a rundown of the year's activities, was given by Jim Hare.

It was strung out over a good part of the route between the parks and took about twenty minutes to pass a given spot. SUFFER FROM HEAT A police car and the Rotary Club car, a beautiful Chevrolet Bel-Air, followed by the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band, brave in scarlet and blue, with the perspiration pouring off the bandsmen who, along with everyone else in uni- form, was suffering in the heat and humidity. Several other automobiles and floats followed including one from the IODE and another from the YWCA. The army cadet band followed and a detachment of about 40 army cadets with their instructor, John Kane, in an accompanying vehicle. The marching both of ' this cadet group and of the Sea CadeteBugle Band which followed later in the parade was excellent and excited applause from the spectators, COMMUNITY PARKS FEATURED A feature of the parade was groups of youngsters from Con- naught, Westmount, Bathe, Wood- view, Rundle and Eastview Parks, Members of each group were wear- ing the bright colored sweaters if their park surmounted with park crests. In addition the CRA had a float apd provided a number of she clown$ which filled in intervals in the procession. The smartly turned out De La Salle band from Toronto led an- other section which included the air cadets and the air cadet float. In addition to the organization which made up part of each section there were, commercial floats. many of which were well prepared. Among the bands were those from Air Training Command at Tren- ton and the Bowmanville Boys' Band from the Training Schosl there. This, as always, proved to be one of the smartest of the bands in the parade and the music was rousing ard in perfect time, Local bands included the Oshawa Civic and Regimental, the Army Cadet Band, the Sea Cadet Bugle Band and the Sons of Ulster Flute Band. The St. John Ambulance Associa- tion had a well decorated float which represented treatment being given a patient. In addition the Oshawa Ambulance Service had two vehicles in the parade one of which was carrying a fully equip- ped oxygen tent complete with patient. Two organizations which were well and largely represented were the Oshawa Motorcycle Club with about ' 30 noisy, snorting vehicles and White Riding Academy with a score or more of horses and riders, most of them wearing western cos- tume. ATTRACTIVE FLOAT The Brownies had one of the most attractive floats in the parade with the little girls arranged around the floor of a truck in a ROTARY PARADE (Continued on Page 5) man. for this area, and Mr. James Brown, Newcastle, a director of the Holstein Friesian Association of Canada.

'Rotary Fair Does Record Business Taking their cue cue fooRt the warm weather and cloudless skies, resi- dents of the Oshawa district: enter- ed into the carnival spirit and last night rolled up a record attendance for the first night of Rotary Fair ab Rotary Park. | The crowd was in a holiday mood and arrived at the park early, com- ing on the heels of the annual Ro- tary Parade from Alexandra Park, which attracted thousands of spec- tators. Indeed those patronizing the fair were in a spending mood and a splendid night's business was | reported. Each and every booth received its share of business and the {fine array of prizes proved a distinct attraction and as a result the vari- ous games of skill enjoyed a record breaking run of business. Staffed by members of the Rotary Club and their helpers the booths pre- sented a very attractive appearance with their colored lights and bril- liant decorations. Members of the club, who in their youth distinguished themselves with their ability as rooters at sports activities, again found the voices and the persuasion which had urg- ed their favorite teams to victory and their shouts and appeals to the crowd did not fall on deaf ears. Not a one of them gave a thought to the fact that when the fair closes they may be conversing in whispers as they were embued with the ideal of service before self and were determined to give their all to put the fair over the top. While all the booths received their share of patronage, one of the most popular was the home cooking booth where the culinary artistry of the wives of the members of the club were on display, After looking over the display it is no wonder that the booth was sold out in record time and that the waist lines of members of the club are not what they once were. Tonight Rotary Fair will reach a climax with the draw for the Chevrolet Bel-Air as fhe last item on the program. The thoughts of thousands in the community have been centered upon this beautiful car and when the draw is made, shortly before midnight, Rotary Park will be jammed to capacity with a crowd whose pent up en- thusiasm will not be satisfied un- til the winning ticket is drawn.

Hickie. wife -- Brooklin Campaign To Instal Lights In Park Commences This Week Within a few weeks, it is hoped, Brooklin Memorial Park will join the several sports fields in this district which are equipped with batteries of lights making possible games and sporting events of all kinds after dark. The drive to raise the necessary funds to finance the installation of lights at Brooklin gets underway this week. A good deal of preparation and planning has gone inte the cam- pun which will open this week. A committee, consisting of James Carnwith, President, Murray Rob- inson, Secretary and John Goodwin, Treasurer, has been set up. In ad- dition a committee consisting of Messrs. Goodwin, Robinson and Ray Hall will have planned the canvassing campaign to raise funds. It is intended to have eighteen individual lamps of a new, sealed- beam type spotted on six poles ranging from 50 to 60 feet above ground. The new type lights are the newest development in sports field floodlighting and are the equiva- lent at least of twenty-four of the ordinary lamps. Jack McKay of Ajax will super= vise the construction of the sys- tem and Jake Bryant of Whitby is assisting as contractor. Both men are working on a non-profit Reeve Heber Down, of Whitby Township has been chosen by the executive of the Fund Committee to act as Honorary President. 'The installation of these lights in Memorial Park, is not, it is em- phasized, designed to assist only the proposition of ball games. The ball club has nothing to do with a generous contribution. It is antici- pated that the lights will be used for other sports, both winter and summer as well as during the fairs. It is hoped that because of the floodlighting system, it will be pos- sible to include many more of the township young people in sports organizations and on teams. Already leagues are in the process of or- ganization in the expectation that the installation of lights will give many more hours of playing time in the evening. The Installation should have an- other beneficial effect.
