"Civil Defence Chairman Stresses Need a > ry ad Girls Hitch-Hike From New Westminster To Drive Truck Back Oshawa was journey's end yes- terday for three dynamic young nurses who had hitch-hiked all the way from New Westminster in British Columbia. The trip of over 3,000 miles took them 10 days and cost them $20 each. Travel stain- ed and battered the map, which had been their Bible on the trip, fell to pieces a few miles outside of Oshawa. Without a care in the world, the laughing and tanned girls turned up at Charlton Transport Office at 11 a.m. yesterday morning to pick up a Chevrolet half-ton truck which they are going to drive back to Vancouver. All in their early twen- ties the girls were Aagot Abraham- son, of Vancouver, Dolores Cope, of New Westminister, and Pat Gartside, also of New Westminster. Earlier this month they complet- ed their graduate nures' examina- tions and before going on to hos- pital duty they decided to take a holiday and see a bit of Canada. A friend of theirs, Norman Tag- gert, had ordered a Chev. from General Motors so the girls made their first trip east to pick it up. "We had a wonderful time. Everybody was very kind and helpful to us and directed us on the journey. We had 26 lifts in cars, one free bus journey over in the United States and a toll keeper even drove us over his bridge," said blonde and attractive Aagot Abrahamson. ' 'But possibly the kindest city of the lot has been Oshawa. People here saw we were. strangers and gave us rides to the transport of- fices," put Pat Gartside. Dolores Cope was impressed by Toronto's policemen, one of whom directed them to the best corner for hitch- hiking. From Vancouver to Calgary and from Calgary to Winnipeg the girls travelled in two easy laps. The snow-laden clouds chased them but they travelled through fine weather most of the way. On one stage of the journey they rolled up in their sleeping bags by a lake bu' got caught out in a drenching thunderstorm and had to hustle to an empty porch. Piling their bags into the brand- new dark green truck, the three young nurses left Oshawa after spending only one hour in the city. They decided to drive on to Ottawa and Montreal before re- turning west. At present Aagot is the only member who can drive, but the other two girls are going to take driving lessons when they reach the open prairies. George Hart Is Honorary Rotary Member 'A resident of Oshawa since 1908 and a number of the Oshawa Ro- tary Club since 1923, 'George Hart was presented with an honorary membership at the luncheon meet- ing of the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. The presentation was made by District Governor Ken Partridge of Brampton, The - district governor comment- ed that Mr. Hart started in the milk business in Oshawa in 1910 and had been extremely 'active in many phases of community ac- tivity. He had joined Rotary at the time when there were but 10 clubs in the present Rotary district and had served as president of the Osh- awa Club during the 1929-30 Ro- tary Year. In reply Mr, Hart said he had been invited by Fred Bailes to be- come a member of Rotary. He com- mented that the contributions he had made to Rotary were grossly exaggerated compared with the benefits he had received from mem- bership.

Auto Output In The U.S. Slightly Down Detroit.--Production of cars and trucks in the U.S. fell slightly last week to an estimated 128,705 units from the previous week's 129,489, according to Ward's Automotive Re- ports. The total for the like week last year was 179,313. Ward's said that Studebaker out- put last week was slightly under the previous week's figure whereas Nash assemblies increased. Reo resumed truck production Sept. 17 after be- ing closed down since Aug. 24 be- cause of a strike, the agency added. The industry's supplies of copper and steel are critically short, ac- cording to Ward's. Because forging steel in the U.S. has been diverted to aircraft and other defense needs, the big car manufacturers have been forcerd to go abroad for some steel to sustain their production the agency explained. Ward's predicted that the indus- try will attain its September sched- ules of approximately 362,000 cars and 106,000 trucks. Compared with September cutput last year this would represent a 40 per cent drop for cars and a gain of about 2 per cent for trucks. Combined production of U.S. and Canadian plants last week was esti- mated by Ward's at 135436 cars and trucks compared with 136,150 the previous week. Last week's total was made up of 99,988 cars and 28,717 trucks for the U.S. and 4,726 cars and 2,005 trucks for Canada. Oshawa Rotary Will Sponsor Arthritic Unit It was announced at yesterday's meetin of the Oshawa Rotary Club that the club has undertaken to sponsor for two years the operation in the Oshawa district of a mobile Arthritic Unit.

Mayor Michael Starr was | absent for the first part of the | meeting and Alderman Finley M. | Dafoe took the chair. Upon the ar- rival of the Mayor he got up to | relinquish the chairmanship but | was urged by the Mayor to keep it | until the administrative body went | into comimttee of the whole. The Council slowly worked its way | throtgh thirteen or fourteen pieces | of correspondence and a number of | by-laws. ! The Oshawa Fish and Game Pro- tective Association was given per- | mission to hold its annual turkey | shoot at Pleasure Valley Ranch from 10 a.m. to dusk on September | 29, It was stated in the letter of | application that there would be rigid control of shooting. | An application on behalf of the | Lakeshore Gun Club asking per- mission to hunt ducks in Ferguson | Marsh was granted. This applica- | tion stated that for a number of | years ducks have been hunted in| the marsh but that in view of the | fact that there was a by-law for- | bidding the discharging of firearms | within the boundaries of the city it | was necessary to get permission. | An application of Frank Baum- | gartner to obtain permission to | erect a service station on the east | side of Simcoe Stgeet North at the | intersection of the Five Points Road was referred to the Planning Board. | In his letter Mr. Baumgartner said | the proposed station would cost | $8,000. | A copy of a letter from the Wood- | view Neighborhood Association to the Board of Education asking that choice of a site for a school in the northeast section of the city be de- ferred until their petition- was re- ceived, was "received and filed". A letter was received from J. Maslack, Valencia Road, protesting a recent edict forbidding Oshawans living in trailers unless they re- ceived a licence. Mr. Maslack was recently refused a license and he thought that in view of the flct that the trailer in- which he lived was a much better and cleaner dwelling than a good many of the "shacks" on Valencia Road, it was unfair. His letter was "received and filed". The application of Mrs, Beatrice North for permission to build a repair garage at the rear of 604 King St. W. in 1952 was granted. The Planning Board, to whom the request was referred, said that it did not favor granting permission inasmuch as it would have pre- ferred to keep the area for stores and retail business but that there was no legal reason whatsoever why it should not be granted. A petition from residents of Sunset Drive and Hortop Avenue for garbage collection on their streets was referred to the Board of Works. The petitioners could not see why they had to ask for collec- tion in view of the fact that theirs was a built-up area. It was decided to gravel the city- owned area at the northeast corner of Church and William Streets some time in the future at the dis- cretion of the City Solicitor and the Board of Works for use as a free parking 18t. Original intention was to cover this land with a mac- adam surface and instal parking meters but it was felt that it was tion to justify such an: expense. "No parking" signs will be trans- ferred to the east side of Albert Street from Elm Street to the CPR bridge. 5 Residents of Cordova Road wrote to ask when storm sewers were go- ing to be pul in their area. This fall, said Wesley Powers, Deputy- Chairman of the Board of Works. A third reading was given a by- law--to--authorize--construction of an asphalt pavement on Park Road South: This work is already | possibility of the city acquiring it. 2 lbs. 9 ozs. in weight. A light | underway but the by-law received | its final reading only last night.

A. Blyth, Toronto bridge builder | for consiruction of the Bond Street Bridge, : Alderman Hayward Murdoch as- sured members oi council that the eight tons of steel needed had been received and that a shovel was be- ing brought in tomorrow to begin work. A committee consisting of Alder- men Wesley Powers, Hayward Mur- doch and Rae Halliday was named to assess information acquired by the Planning Board and the City Solicitor with regard to the present status of the Grierson property, 239 Simcoe Street North and the All tenants at 58 Centre Street will be notified to vacate 'the pro- perty before October 30 in order that it may be demolished. "This is a fire trap," said Alderman Hay- ward Murdoch of this city-owned property. Council decided to call for ten- ders for the demolition of the Mackie property on Centre Street in order to make room for the new city hall. A by-law was passed calling for a debenture issue of $290,586 for | pavements, macadam pavements, granular base for roads and sani= tary sewers. All of this work has been completed within the last two years and the law, in this case, is just catching up to the actuality. The E. L. Ruddy Sign Company will be given 30 days to get the signs down on the east side of Centre Street between King and Athol Streets. These signs are at- tached to the west wall of the Lander Coal Company property. A letter was received asking a period of grace until August 1952. but council decided that the signs were a menace and should be cleaned up. Promotions At G.M.

Delay Actioz On Schools For Petition Building of further new schools in Oshawa is to be delayed while nerth-east ward residents gather a delegation ~acked by petition to state the case of that particular section of the city for a new school. At yesterday's meeting of the Board a letter was received from Mrs. H. L. Bell and Gordon J. Attersley reporting the appointment of a committee among the ward resi- dents, Mis. Bell was recently an out. spoken correspondent in The Times- Gazette Letters to the Editor col- umn urging the building cf a school in the north-east part of Oshawa. She and Mr. Attersley said that a letter would be submitted to the Board of Education to the effect that a petition for the erection of a school is being circulated and will shortly be presented to the Board. This letter is to ask that action regarding the erection of new schools be delayed until the receipt of the petition. The Board agreed to receive the petition without any discussion. It was also agreed to allow Inspector of Public Schools T. R. McEwen to publish in the local press a state- ment he had'prepared in explana- tion of the Board's policy regarding the building of new schools. This statement was earlier checked over by Trustees S. G. Saywell and Mrs. B. C. Colpus. "That statement is my official opinion#¥ said Mr. McEwen, asking the board to agree to publication, "It is the board's case as I see it, I have taken care .in its prepara- tion." Mr. McEwen's letter is publish- ed in today's editorial page of The Times-Gazette as a letter to the editor -- the column in which the controversy was started by Mrs. Hall, Must Serve Rotary Club Communi y "Devoted to service, Rotary pro- vides a common ground for 350,000 pusiness and professional executives throughout the world, regardless of nationality, politics or religious be- lief, to be of service to their com- munities, their nations and the world," declared Kenneth G. Part- ridge of Port Credit, district gov- ernor of the 247th District of Rotary International, in his address to the Oshawa Rotary Club at its juncheon meeting yesterday. The district governor, who was making his 35th visit'to a club in his district since July 16, was intro- duced by Vice-President Walter R. Branch, The dppreciation of the members was voiced by President Everett Lovell. Rotarian Partridge said that Rotary is a state of mind. Its prin- ciple aim is to be of service to one another and to their fellow men. The spirit of selflessness which its members exemplify Js such that they do not render service to others without themselves being gainers at some time or another. It was emphasized that all Rotary asks of its members is a spirit of honesty, fairness, co-operation and service. Rotary fellowship must come from within. Rotary at the same time places a great value on the "| daughter was admitted to the hos- ability of the individual member to work with his fellow members and | fellow men.

Two Ontario County Folk { Two residents of the southern part | of Ontario County were stricken with poliomyelitis during the past week end. Both were removed to the Riverdale Isolation Hospital in Toronto. Mrs, B, Wilson, resident on No. 12 Highway north of Manchester, was also sent to Riverdale Hospital after an examination at Oshawa General Hospital diagnosed her condition as polio.

Missprint Proves Effective Way Express Meaning Prize missprint of the year has been produced by Oshawa's Board of Education. In one of their com- mittee reports yesterday, members read that the Provincial Municipal Committee of Ontario has invited "the submission of BEEFS by muni- ¢Tpalities, local boards and organiz- ations interested in civic affairs." What the Committee actually wants are briefs but as Board mem- ber R. C. Bint pointed out "beefs" was perhaps a more pointed way of putting it. According to Webster's Dictionary to beef is to complain fussily.

The meeting was called for ihe organizational set-up of civic de- fence for the Oshawa area. While he was not sure that the Oshawa area would be subject to bombing attack in the event of the ont- break of war, Mr. Millman felt that residents of the area should bz or- ganized and familiarized with their duties so that in the event of need they would be able to step into the breach on a moment's notice. PREPARED FOR ANY EMERGENCY As a key industrial centre, Osh- awa must be prepared for any even- tuality locally as well as being in a position 40 take care of possible evacuees from such large centres as Toronto, Windsor and Detroit. It must also be in a position to take up the slack in an industrial sense if strategic plants in other cen'res were damaged or destroyed, The information given out at last night's meeting will be carried back to the various groups and organizations with the idea of acquainting them with what may be expected of them in an emergency. Any suggestions they may have to offer will be welcomed by the cen- tral committee. Several key personnel will shortly be leaving for Ottawa to take specialized training. On their re- turn they will instruct four or five persons in each instance until even- tually instruction will reach the in- | dividual level as it will be necessary | for every resident of the area to] know what his or her duties will be in an emergency. MAYOR OPENS MEETING His Worship Mayor Starr, who opened the meeting, explained that Mr. Millman had attended a two- week course in Hull and had done a great deal of work in making plans for organi.ation of civil de- fence work here, Mr. Millman, he said, estimates that there will be approximately 800 local people in the organization. The question of organization had been delayed due to the fact that little informa- tion was coming through and it was felt better to delay than to discour- age people by not having anything for them to do. Prefacing his remarks, Mr. Mill. man said a central committee com- posed of J. A. Morphy, W. A. Weck- er, A. 8. Hill, John G. Brady, Ald. Herbert Robinson and Dr. O. G. Mills with Col. and Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin as patrons had been set up. At present the organization of civil defence was at the planning stage. This committee consists ot representatives of all organizations in the community who can lend their aid in developing a civil de- fence force. Mr. Millman showed charts set- ting forth the break-down of the proposed . organization. Thesé¢ show- ed the specific work that each group would do in the event of an eme:- gency. At present the big job is to | fit the organization to do a job. MUST ASSIST OTHERS Personally Mr. Millman did not think that Oshawa would be a No. 1 target for attack. At the same time the people here must be ready to lend assistance to other centres in the event of need. This meant that welfare would become the poume consideration. Oshawa, for instance, might be asked to provide housing for 1,000 people quickly. A chart was also shown to the meeting indicating possible sources of personnel and the duties which they might perform. For instance the Boy Scouts might take care of traffic control work while the St. John Ambulance would assist in first aid work; and the Red Cross might accept responsibility for staffing rest centres. As regards the area in which damage from a bomb would be feit, Mr. Millman said that he area bounded by the Five-Points Road, purpose of explaining the proposed CIVIL DEFENSE (Continued on Page 5) Goods Stolen : From Restaurant : At Greenwood : A quantity of cigarette lighters and other small articles were stolen from the Paddock Restaurant, oper=-- ated by V.
