You Welland in an address at the Osh- awa Rotary Club luncheon yester- day when he spoke on the theme "Canada Yesterday and Today". On. of Canada's outstanding his- torlans and authorities on Cana- dians, Mr. Duff was introduced by Rotarian A. R. Alloway. The thanks of the club was voiced by Wesley J. Salter. The speaker emphasized that Canada has grown to be one of the most important countries in the world, standing among the {first half dozen important nations. It was also pointed out that with her great resources and vast area she stands in a position to play an increasingly vital role in world economy. is one of the 20 American countries which were once bound bs European countries. Today Canada has severed her bonds but is still linked to the Motherland by her love of the Royal family. The recent visit to Canada of Princess Eliza- bcth gave evidence that this bond is tied with a new strength and vitality and that there is a tre- mendous love among the Canadian people for the throne, COMMONWEALTH VALUABLE i think the empire today stands st its lowest ebb in history.

It is a great instrument for peace. Its motives are of the highest order and its influence is always for freedom and democracy. There is no semblance of desire to impose on anyone." Mr. Duff said that when he stood on the dock at Port Arthur in July, 1900, he looked across the bay and saw the Sleeping Giapt, which he felt vis 5 a perfect symbol of Canada of that day. She had less than five million people and her armed forces were sparse. In 1900 Canada's exports totalled J200 millions & yea. Two years ago d her her exports p exporting nations in the world. To- day, on a percentage basis, she is the world's largest exporter. In 1900 the meridian of population was near Ottawa. Today it is near Sault Ste. Marie.

Today pilots are flying als, The vast iron depesits of Labrador and the oil fields of the prairies are being developed today and the St. Lawrence seaway will be 'under way next year. In 1900 six out of every 10 men in Canada worked on a farm. Today only three out of 10 are so em- ployed. This, in part, is due to the great advances made in farm ma- chinery. However, the big reason is that industry offers much great- er returns. MUST CEMENT NATION "None of you will ever know Can- ada. It is too vast and there are great differences of ideals which must be overcome and cemented. It is our duty to grasp what Canada is doing; where Canada is going and what she can accomplish, We have to imagine we can see Canada in 1075 or 2000 as Sir Wilfrid Laur- fer saw it in 1900 when he said that GREAT FUTURE (Continued on Page 5) Coming Events SALE OF CHILDREN'S, LADIES men's clothing, King St. Church, 29th, 2 (277b) RUMMAGE SALE, WEDNESDAY, November 28, 2 o'clock, Albert St. 'Church basement, Friendship Group.

'| Institutions at THE DAILY T TIMES-GAZETTE Whar CHER Poses ond WAY Gnette and Chronicke VOL. 10--No. 277 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1951 PAGE THREE BTS Has Passed 4,000 Since 1925 Bowmanville Training School for Boys was established in August, 1925. The achievements of the school in its 26 years, represent a successful experiment in the re- education of problem boys. The history of the institution is not only a tribute to its founders and to all those who were associated with it since 1925 but also a vindication of a new approach to rehabilitation of youths based essentially on sympathy and understanding. The establishment of the Bow- manville Training School was the outcome of a great deal of serious thought on the part of Juvenile Court Judges, Social Workers, Chil- dren's Aid Societies and Service Clubs. It was felt that there should be a modern school in a rufral set- ting to care for boys who, by re- moval from their homes for a per- iod of intensive training, might be re-directed so that wayward ten- dencies would not lead to criminal careers. ADMISSION BY APPLICATION The nucleus.of the new school of sixteen boys who went under the care of the Toronto Rotary Club at Opportunity Lookout, Weston. Until December 1, 1934, boys were admitted by applica- tion only; but, since that year, the great majority of 'the school population comes from the Juven- ile Courts. They range from 14 to 16 years of age. The first Super- intendent of the school was Dr. G. E. Reaman; he was suc- ceeded in 1932 by Mr. A. R. Virgin who is now Director of Reform Queen's Park. When Mr. Virgin assumed this latter post, his succession was taken by Mr. W. J. Eastaugh. During the 26 years of existence of the institution, it has been the constant policy of the Provincial Government, which operates it, and of the staff of the school to make it as attractive as possible. Spacious grounds, attractive dormi- tories, wholesome meals and mod- erp equipment prove a most in- teresting setting for the boy .at Bowmanville. And the program which is offered to him is most appealing: it is healthy, vigorous, even exciting. COTTAGE SYSTEM The cottage system which oper- ates at Bowmanville groups thirty to forty boys in a house under the supervision of Housemaster and staff. Everything is kept neat and clean and the finest of spirits pre- vails in those little fraternities. Naturally, boys of that afe must go to school. All grades up to Grade Ten are taught at Bowman- ville. The curriculum, and method are subject to the same inspec- tions by the Department of Edu- cation as any other school in the province. To complement this aca- demic program, there is an ex- tensive vocational training pro- gram. The fine equipment with which TRAINING SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1) Call a Minute Keeps Santa Claus Busy Oshawa's voungeLers took fun | opportunity of their chance to put through special phone calls to Father Christmas yesterday. They kept his special "North Pole" tele- phone jangling continuously for two hours with requests for all kinds, of Christmas presents -- in- cluding a "little pussy cat". Total number of calls to 5.1112 for Santa yesterday was 175 but 66 of the youngsters were disap- pointed. Father Christmas is only at home between 4 and 5 p.m. and 7 and 8 pm. and 66 kiddies who rang up too late in the evening had to be told that Santa had re- treated. into his workshop to get busy on his parcels. Calls poured in at .the rate of one a minute, They came in by long - distance from' Burketon, Whitby, Ajax and Bowmanville as well as from all parts of Oshawa. Santa advises tht if youngsters hear the busy signal when they first ring 5-1112 they should just keep trying. "But please make your calls, dur- ing my Oshawa talking hours" he pleaded. Special arrangements were made by the Community Recreation As< sociation and the Bell Telephone Company ' to have an accredited correspondent from The Times-- Gazette at the North Pole work- shop when the first call was put through at 4 pm. yesterday. "Yohoho" roared out Santa to little David Potipcoe, of 155 Verdun Road, who was the first Oshawa youngster to put through a call. David wanted a book for Christmas and Santa Claus duly noted that in his little black book. "Skippy" Thrasher of 343 Elm Grove has just spent three months in a sick bed but he was bright and cheerful as he rang up the busy workshop. "I want an electric train in my stocking," he told the jovial and heaming Santa. An electric train was also chosen by Johnny Suddard, of 499 Albert Street. He wanted 'a crane well. The request for a pussy cat-- "and I don't mind what color it is" -- came from Marion Sussey, of 69 Lloyd Street. She had a long chat with Father Christmas and told him, rather worriedly, that it was snowing in Oshawa and that as. Weather Brings Heavy Demand Furnishings A heavy demand for chesterfields, rangettes, and even furnaces has been prompted by the advent of colder weather, the daily Classified call-backs are showing. In a recent + 'vey, those that advertised rang- ettes, and minor household furn- ishings have been well - satisfied with the results received. Winter sports equipment is also in demand, especially skates, sleighs and toboggans. Such a large number of results signifies a certain public demand. Perhaps you have furniture, a de- pendable stove, or sports equipment taking up valuable space in attic, basement or closet.

John Wilkin, of 40 Nassau Street, was the fifth caller within as many minutes. A model gas station was his wish and he was pleased to hear that he and all the other telephoning small fry, would get a personal letter from old Kris Kringle. Batches of the letters youngsters, all Christmas, will be sent out to the children who telephone the Osh- awa extension of the North Pole number, Magic number, kids, is 5-1112! Calling hofirs for Oshawa chil- dren are between 4 and 5 p.m. and 7 and 8 pm. daily. Good advice about eating up breakfasts and guffaws of laughter are dished out by Ranta and Christmas music can be heard as a background to all the calls. to the signed by Father | River Claims Two Hockey-Playing Youngsters' Richard Stewart, frenzied with worry, breaks ice in search for his boys, Murray and Grenville, who fell into the Indian river at Pembroke, Ont. Seven-year-old Murray ran to the edge to open water after his tin-can puck when the ice gave way. Grenville, six, tried to save him but the ice broke beneath him also. bodies were later recovered. Their City Council Briefs | Members of City Council as- sembled last night for their 'last- but-one meeting of the year prior to civic elections. They will meet again on Monday night and on the following 'Thursday night the rate- payers will decide their fates at the polling subdivisions. Council last night worked its way through a short agenda and most of the evening wondering why the City of Oshawa happened to be caught in a financial squeeze and how it could get a higher price for a bond issue of $1,319,000 it was offering for sale. The General Purpose Committee will look into a request from I. E. Tomlinson for a license to operate a refreshment wagon on the streets. George Reid who lives on Thorn- ton's Road near Ross' Road has been complaining that water from the roads running across his pro- perty has been causing damage. Deputy Chairman of the Board of Works. Wesley Powers said that an arrangement had been worked out with Mr. Reid satisfactory to him and the city. November 26 to December 1 has been designated as "Clean-Up Week" and citizens are urged to co-operate and make Oshawa a neater place in which to live. parallel to No. 2A High- way have been complaining about the lack of garbage collection.

Household Finance Corporation was given permission to erect a "stick-out" sign on its new prem- ises at 1112 Simcoe Street South. The sign, 8 feet 4 inches long by 4 feet and weighing 320 pounds, will have to come down in 1955 by the terms of a city ordinance for- bidding "'sticK-gut"' signs after then.

The object of the drive is to secure 630 memberships, which is the aud- ience limit of the new UAW audit- orium where the concerts will be given, The inaugural meeting of the CCA campaign was held in the St. George's Parish Hall last night, after -a delicious turkey supper. Morley Wyman, campaign chairman, introduced the Toronto sponsor of the Association, who briefly outlined some of the star attractions available to an enter- prising community group. There is for example, Mary Syme, pianist from Hamilton, a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music, who has played in Italy, France, and Great Britain, in Town Hall, New York, and has already done thirty recitals throughout Ontario. There are the Leslie Bell Singers, now touring for Community Concerts in the USA, of whom little needs to be said. There are The Commodores, a quartet who won their first fame with the Canadian Navy Show, and have sung before the King and Queen. They have gained added laurels in the Star Free Concerts, and now have their own CBC show. . Elie Spivak, violinist, for many years concert master of the Toronto Symphony, has been in Canada for 25 or 30 years, and only last year joined the Jerusalem String Quar- tet for the Bach Festival in Europe. Then there is the Solway String Quartet, who have shown the lighter side of classical music in their recent broadcasts over the Mutual network. There is also the Harvey Pe! Choir, conducted by the assistant director of music in Toronto Schools, rapidly gaining repute in its own right. Rex Battle, conductor of the Singing Stars of Tomorrow, with coast-to- coast auditions, has toured the world as a pianist, and will be ACHE ALL OVER? Do you seem to "ache all over'?

About 30 were present and Mr. Alger thanked tham all warmly for the excellent work accomplished which, he sald, made Oshawa again stand out in the forefront of similar campaigns in the pro- vince. He mentioned especially the good work of the secretary- treasurer, S. T. Hopkins, during the past five years and this refer- ence was heartily applauded. Mr. Hopkins, in acknowledging the thanks to himself, said he felt thanks should also be extended to the general chairman, Mr. Alger and this suggestion was warmly approved. Mr. Hopkins read the final figures for all team groups, of which there were 34. The grand total reached for the campaign was $116,917.21, being 103.5 per cent of the objective. Those present were invited by the chairman to make suggestions for improvement in any of the phases of the canvassed and a very helpful round-table discussion fol- lowed, bringing out a number of excellent points that were noted for reference when arranging next eyar's campaign. Prior to the dinner, the execu- tive met and approved an addi- tional allotment of 15 per cent to each of the participating agencies, from the surplus from the 1950 campaign.

Truck Crashes Into Provincial Police Cruiser While OPP Constable Dave Coffey of Bowmanville was taking notes in his cruiser of an accident which had occurred an hour pre: viously on the outskirts of Bow- manville, the police car was rams. med from the rear by another truck. The accident took place at 7.30 am. yesterday, and the impact threw both tle constable and the first truck driver into the. back seat, doubtless saving them from severe injury. The driver of the Fess Transport truck which crashed the cruiser was Hugh Budd, R.R. 4, Simcoe. The back end of the cruiser was . pretty well demolished, but . the transport suffered only a bent grille. 3 > Policies for their sons . . . boy now Age 3 provides: on the "Ordinary Life' % A STR A bx Most young fathers are proud of their little lads They want to get their sons off to a fine start in life and make sure that the boys learn good habits which will build strong characters!
