Only formed within recent years the branch i aided by funyds from the Community Chest and for a and youth training the St. John's can hardly be beaten within the confines of the city. First aid, home nursing, child care, civil defence, traffic control and dozens of other subjects are taught. - A file packed with. letters com-® mending the St. John workers has been compiled since the corps was inaugurated in 1948. Young boys have rendered first aid to accident victims and have been praised by doctors for their professional skill. Rushing to road smash-ups they | have directed traffic on some of | the busiest highways. Many people who faint in the summer's heat at various events come to and find themselves in the corps hut tended by the women workers in their crisp, cool uniforms. FULFILS GREAT NEED "As an organization the St. John's fulfils a great need in this city", declarel Harold McNeil, su- | perintendent of one of the local | divisions. He and a staunch band | of volunteer workers take care of | the training end of the corps, which | has its headquarters at Simcoe | Hall. The local corps is divided into four distinct branches. There is the men's division, which was formed in 1949, the women's divi- sion and the boy and girl cadets. They all come under the direction of a central council for finance control and co-ordination. On the council serve representatives of the four different groups and the body is. headed by a independent chairman who is Capt. J. W. Kaine, the principal of Brooklin High School. WOMEN'S DIVISION Mrs. O. D. Frined, R.N., is thee superintendent of the women's di- vision, which now has 22 mem- pers. They meet on two Wednes- days in each month for practice and for lectures which keep them mn touch with current medical pro- sedure. The members serve at public functions under the super- rision of a graduate nurse and ac- sording to Mrs. Friend the mem- oers are "as keen as mustard". There are a few vacancies for la- dies holding certificates in home nursing and first aid. Each year the women's divi- sion runs a series of home nursing classes and these are scheduled to start up again early in the new year. In this year's classes instruc- tion was given to 41 women. The women help at the Mobile Red Cross blood donors' clinic and also at the Oshawa General Hospital donors' clinic. MEN'S DIVISION Care of stretcher cases is one 'of the chief items of work for the men's division which is headed by Arthur Forsythe, the superin- tendent. The black uniformed men Superintendents MRS. 0. D.

Cadet Bill Jarvis, of the Division, - was voted top camper by the counsellors at the camp and the campers elected him 'Best Fellow Campers". Every so often examinations in first aid and nursing are held and during this year 180 boys and girls have ween tested by panels of doc- tors on home nursing and first | aiding. Figures of the May exam- inations were typical for of 45 youngsters who underwent the stiff examination, only three were unsuccessful. BOY CADET DIVISION Leo Howard, is the superinten- dent of the local C. C. Holman Division of boy cadets. Cpl. Hol- man, the popular Mountie, in- structs all the cadets in ballistics, observation, traffic regulation and control and also the highly-popu- lar judo--or scientific wrestling. The two divisions of boy cadets are for youngsters between the ages of 11 and 17 years. There is a Peewee division for the eight to 11 age group and plans are un- der way for the formation of a Student Division which will take care of the training of youths be- tween the ages of 17 and 21. GIRLS DIVISION Mrs. P. Moody, is the superin- tendent of the girls' division which, at present, can only look after the 11 to 17 year group of girls. Spe- cialty training for the girls is given in home nursing, nutrition, child welfare, cooking and hy- giene. All the groups learn mili- tary signalling in addition to all their other studies: At present there are 150 boys and girls in the St. John cadets and there is no lack of recruits for the future. Shorn of any military trap- pings, cadetship in the smartly- dressed and well-trained outfit ap- peals to the youngsters of Osh- awa. They also have the feeling of doing something useful in the city with the aid they give at accidents and fires. On one occasion. the youngsters directed city traffic for three hours to prevent cars running over fire men's hoses. Only a few days ago they gave magnificent help to a little hoy who fell out of a free and broke his wrist. The boy's mother added a public tribute to the dozens already contained in the corps' files. As if they were not kept busy enough, the cadets enter whole- heartedly into a full program of hobbies and crafts. Working from Simcoe Hall they learn wood-work- ing, radio repairing, photography, nature study, care of animals, life saving, camping and toy making. In their brand-new lecture hall they listen to civil defence -lectures and in that respect could give many lessons to the older members of the city's population.

Chamber To Discuss Very Big Problems Most of the pressing economic issues facing Canada will be dis- cussed at the annual meeting of The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce in Quebec City, October 30 to November 1, and the fact that in- terest of businessmep in national affairs runs high at "present is re- flected in the host of resolutions submitted by member Boards and Chambers for consideration by Canada's national business organi- zation. The Brantford Board of Trade, the Yorkton and District, Sask. Board of Trade, and the Ville St. Michel, Que. Chamber would like to see revoked all or parts of the Canada Dairy Products Act passed at the last session of Parliament. Strong opposition is recorded to that part of the Act which clears the way for prohibition of inter- provincial trade in butter substi- tutes. The Greater Niagara, Ont. Chamber of Commerce urges a dy- namic national leadership to assist civilian defence organization at the community level, while the Medicine Hat, Alta. Chamber believes that the federal and provincial govern- ments and not the municipalities involved should bear the costs of civil defence programs. These are among the suggested policy resolutions submitted by Boards and Chambers across the country. By vote (each Board and Chamber having a vote ol equal weight, irrespective of size), the Canadian Chamber's policy reli ne decided' for the year ahead. From Winnipegosis, Manitoba, comes the suggestion that the Fed- eral government increase education- al grants to the provinces which | then would be in a position to give | more help to the municipalities. The Winnipeg Chamber of Com- merce thinks there should be a uni- form system of road marking and signs across Canada "in the interest of traffic safety". From Saint John, N.B., the Board of Trade has suggested that the Canadian Chamber reiterate its announced policy in favour of de- centralization of industry wherever possible. The Toronto Board of Trade believes there should be an independent board to review cases of withdrawal of mail privileges and that ministerial action based upon the findings of such a board should be subject to normal rights of ap- peal to the courts. The Windsor Chamber of Com- merce recommends that any license fee for . television receiving sets should not be applicable to those sets which are not adequately serv- ed by Canadiana TV stations. 'The New Westminster, B.C. Board, the Sooke-Jordan River, B.C. Cham- ber, and the Estevan, Sask. Board and the Maple Creek, Sask. Cham- ber. urge that human rights and fundamental freedoms be defined and clarified and permanently es- tablished as part of the law of Canada. The Regina Chamber of Com- merce wants the Canadian Cham- ber to set up a committee to look into the possibility of creating a National Chest through which ap- peals for funds by nation-wide health and charity organizations would be made on a' consolidated and annual basis. Several of the resolutions are concerned with taxation and fiscal matters. Others express alarm at the growth of ordinary government be | expenditure not connected with the mobilizaion effort. Still others are in favour of Canada going ahead Ontario Spotlight HONOR OPP VET Niagara Falls, Ont. (CP) -- Sgt. Frank Fox 'of the Ontario Provin- cial Police Welland detachment will receive a medal today honorin, his 20 years' service with the force. He saw service in Toronto, Kitchener, Goderich and Welland.

In addition to all the new resolu- tions submitted by individual Boards of Trade and Commerce (of which]. only a few have been mentioned) the national meeting of business- men at Quebec City will review its general policies on such things as immigration, trade, communism, public finance and taxation, free- dom and enterprise, and natural re- sources.

PAGES QEGISTERED Royal Winter Fair Prize List Boosted Millions of dollars worth of prize livestock, farm produce and horses from all over Canada, the United States, Europe and South America will be exhibited from Nov. 13-21 when the Royal Agri- cultural Winter Fair, the world's biggest indoor agricultural show, is held at Toronto. Increased prize money and sweeping across-the-board im- provements will be features of the '51 Royal. Prize money in- creases in several division will swell the amount offered to $142,- 000 Advance forecasts indicate that entries may exceed. last year's total by 17,249 entries by over 3,- 000 exhibitors. * North America's largest horse show, the Royal Horse Show, will be one of the highlights of the 29- year-old fair. Feature attraction at the horse show this year will be the Cadre Noir, an elite all-of- ficered cavalry corps from France's Academy at Saumur. The Cadre Noir, or Black Staff, has a colorful history and dates its founding back to the reign of Louis XV. Jumping teams from Brazil, the U.S., the Republic of Ireland, Mexico and Canada will resume their friendly feud for the Interna- tional Challenge Trophy. Hund- reds of Horses, from 2,000-pound Percherons to "dainty ponies, will compete for $32,000 worth of prize money. Two new world's championships, boosting the total offered to eight, will be up for competition in the fair's seed, grain and hay show. In addition, fair officials are still awaiting confirmation that Eu- ropean growers may compete in the seed and grain contest for the first times The Royal's cattle wing, home of some 2,200 head of cattle dur- ing the fair, has been renovated. Old permanent stalls have been relaced by portable units and tons of cement and hundreds of gallons of paint have been used to re- decorate the building and lay a new floor. A new lighting system has also been installed. Beef cattle will be more' in the limelight this year. Judging of | and reliel- families as well as fam- ilies ' recommended by churches, Each case is thoroughly investigat- ed by officials of the city's Welfare Department before action is taken, Last Christmas the Committees expended $541 to aid 178 aged needy, $234 to assist 67 Mothers' Allow- ance cases, $267 to make the festive season brighter for 59 relief cases and $304 for special cases. In ad- dition $72 was spent for Oshawa residents of the.County Homes at Whitby and Cannington, Christmas cakes were provided for the mem- bers of the Golden Age Club and toys were given to a number of needy children, In all a total of $1,470.72 was ex- pended by the Committee, includ ing administrative costs of $55.26. This year, despite the fact that an additional burden i$ anticipated as a result of the annexation of seg- tions of East Whitby Township, the Committee has again set its budget at $1,500 which it feels is a very conservative figure. Every citizen who contributes will enjoy the festive season better knowing he had helped brighten the homes of the less fortunate. The need is worthy. Help make happy homes at Christmas. the grand champion steer and the King's Guineas steer will be mov- ed to the Royal's big arena on the afternoon of Nov. 19th. Red Polls, a type of duel-purpose cattle, will be admitted to the beef cattle show for the first time. Another first this year will be an auction sale of Ayrshire cattle on Nov. 19th. In the past beef cat- tle sales have been held success- fully at the fair, but the Ayrshire sale marks the first time dairy cat- tle have been auctioned. If the sale is successful fair officials say it may result in a series of dairy cattle auctions. The apple-eating public will have a better opportunity of inspecting their favorite fruit this year. The apple exhibits will be moved to the flower show, where it is expected they will capture a bigger audi- ence. The flower show, itself, will be improved by the alteration of the former floor plan. In the Royal's 26.acros of build- ings visitors will see, dairy: and beef cattle, horses, seend and grain, swine, sheep, fruit, veget- ables, dairy products, flowers, tropical fish, honey, poultry pro- ducts and dozens of other special- ized exhibits. Last year exhibitors came from every province, except Newfound- land, and from the U.S., Mexico, Great Britain, Ireland and Chile.
