shawa Kiwanis Club Lays Plans For Achievement Day Oshawa CCL Delegates Deplore Government Housing Policy Lack Vancouver -- A' government-spon- jored housing program that will snable workers to buy homes on a ow down payment was demanded yesterday by the annual convention »f the 350,000-member Canadian Congress of Labor, In the discussion that followed, sn array of speakers described pousing conditions in Canada as a pational scandal. Again, the theme of political ac- | jion was injected in the debate as pPanadian auto union director George Burt declared that nothing would be accomplished in the field »f government-sponsored housing antil the workers got behind the CCF. . VIGOROUS CHAMPION Although once a lukewarm sup- porter of the CCF, Mr. Burt has pecome at this convention one of jhe most vigorous and vocal cham-= pions of political action to back the party. He claimed that not one of the governments, and Le singled out the federal government in particu- lar, had built one house for the people, even though they claimed Jo be building houses. Unless the CCL membership give ap their practice of independent political action, dividing their sup- port among four parties, and direct it in favor of the CCF, they could expect no action from the govern- ment, Mr. Burt said. 1 CCL leaders who present congress proposals to the government at Dttawa have to deal with men who have voted against the check-off, decent labor legislation, and hous- Ing programs suggested by labor, Mr. Burt said. In demanding a housing program, Mr. Burt said it was not beyond the competence of the government to put one into effect. "Our econ- pmy will stand it," he added. There were cases in Windsor of families having been burned to death because they had to be prowded into makeshift quarters, Mr. Burt continued. PROBLEM SLOUGHED OFF Mike Fenwick, secretary of the Dshawa and District Labor Council, said the government had sloughed off the housing problem from year to year. Ottawa, Mr. Fenwick noted, had offered to share hous- Ing costs with thé provincial and municipal governments. . "The average' municipality is in po position to accept the burden for a housing program. In fact, there is no housing program," he HOUSING LACK (Continued on Page 5) Says Britons Holding Up Their Heads Recently returned from a 10,000- mile motor trip around Great Brit- ain, Mr. D. Kemlo, 20 Royal Street, told The Times-Gazette today that, in spite of hard times and war rumors, the British people were holding up their heads. The poor- er classes, he said, still knew how to have a good time with the little they had. Mr. Kemlo made the trip in company with his wife and 16- year-old daughter, Davina, in an Austin convertible that he had pur- chased some months ago from Sta- tham Motor Sales in Oshawa. He said the little car, with its Amer'- ican-style left-hand drive, drew ad- miring crowds wherever they stop- ped during their six-week tour of the United Kingdom, Unloading the car at Southamp- ton, the Kemlo family headed for Scotland, and spent some time at Montrose where he had many friends and - relatives, and whence he came to Canada some twenty-six years ago. The Kemloes enjoyed visits to Edinburgh, where they saw Holyrood Castle with its remark- able historical collection, and of course, Aberdeen and Glasgow. One of the high points of the Scotch tour was a serenade by the local pipers outside his brother's home in Montrose; he felt it was a royal welcome. Going down to London for the Festival doings, the Oshawa family took in Madame TuSsaud"s wax- works, where they saw wax celebri- ties like Joe Louis, Tommy Farr and Barbara Ann Scott, as well as the wonderful models of the Royal Family. But festival entertainment by and large was pretty hard on the purse, according to the retired Oshawa merchant. The common people said it was a hundred years since the last one, and there would probably never be another like it.

He start- | ed his duties here on Monday and | his first press statement contained | fulsome praise of the work of the | office's acting manager, Norman Hodgson. | © "The office here, I found, was | well conducted and a lot of praise is | due to Mr. Hodgson for the way he | has handled things," said Mr. Char- ron. The new director has had plea- ty of experience in the trouble- shooting line. Questioned about the recent strike at Hollinger he Jis- missed hours of hard work and negotiations in the phrase, "It | wasn't much and there wasn't any | trouble." NATIVE OF QUEBEC The new director was born in Ironsides, Quebec, in 1897 and, as his name indicates, is a descendan® of French and Irish ancestry. He received his. early education at Christian Brothers Separate School in nearby Hull and later attended Notre Dame College, Hull, and Ot- tawa University. After graduation from university he started work in the office for Abitibi Power and Paper Company at Iroquois Falls For 23 years 'he was {With that company and 'when he left he was chief timekeeper and paymaster. | Following his appointment in Tim- mins he became second vice-presi- dent of the Porcupine Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Chamber's industrial division com- mittee. PLANNING BOARD HEAD In addition to his many other public duties, he was chairman of the Town -of Timmins Planning Board and an executive member of the Ontario Division of the Planning and Development Committee. He is married and has four children, all of whom are married. "As yet we are still looking for a house in Oshawa," said Mr, Charron yesterday. It is the first time he has been in the city. Sportsmen, school children, news- papermen, businessmen and workers in Timmins and Porcupine joined in the batch of farewells. Hockey enthusiasts threw a dinner for him apd made presentations.

So, he ad~ | vised people here to keep sending | parcels to their friénds in Britain. | They would still be appreciated. On | the whole, Scotland seemed to be | better off than England, accord- | ing to 'this Oshawan. | While the family was over there, | Daughter Davina met a pen-pal, | Marian Rock, with whom she had | been corresponding.

However, since the date the health unit re- port was issued, there have been two new cases in Cobourg alone. One of them is a housewife, in her forties, and the other is a 32-year- old public school teacher. There is no paralysis in the housewife and slight paralysis in the school teach- er's arm. The health unit lists 27 cases in the counties since August 4, not counting the two new Cobourg cases. Up to the time of issue of the report for the week Sept. 15, distributed as follows: Alnwick township, 2; Bowman- ville, 1; Brighton village, 1; Cavan township, 2; .Clarke township, 1; Cobourg, 8; Darlington township, 5; Haldimand township, 3; Percy township, 2; Port Hope, 1 and Sey- mour township, 1, The disease has been more frequent among adults and in the up to four years old group, the number is 5; five to 19 years, ten cases and 20 years and over, 12 cases.
