"By providing for many of our boys a constructive program of physical and vocational training and recreation under qualified lead- ership and guidance, these clubs are helping throughout Canada to build better citizens and thus en- sure the future of our nation. "I feel sure that all Canadians would wish to join me in extending to leaders of our Boys' Clubs all good wishes for the continued suc- cess of their worthwhile activities," the prime minister said. The Oshawa Police Association a month ago formed a Boys' Club in Oshawa. Today, the large group, under the supervision of local po- lice officers and Harold McNeill, directors of Simcoe Hall, is gather- ing momentum daily, so that phil- osophies and standards of Boys' Clubs be upheld. These philosophies and standards are based on nearly 90 years' ex- jerience of Boys' Clubs in serving ys. The requirements for mem- bership in Boys' Clubs of Canada are based on them. It is not expected that all Boys' Clubs can meet all the standards, especially as to facilities, person- nel and programs, but they should be considered as objectives. CLUB ARMS The following are some jécts of Boys' Clubs: 1. Every boy in every commun- ity should have opportunity for free time activity and the compan- ijonship of boys in a good environ- ment under good leadership, in any of his free time. : 2. Every boy needs guidance in the choice of his free time activi- ties, in behaviour and in his at- titudes toward others, family and church relationships, girls, educa- tion, employment and government. 3. Every boy should have medical examination at least once a year, and remediable defects should be corrected. 4. Every boy should 'have op- portunity for physical training, ath- letics and the development of phy- sical fitness. 5. Every boy should have an op- BOY'S CLUB (Continued on Page 21) of the ob- New Concert Talent { At a dinner in Adelaide House 'House Wednesday night for can- vassers in the current campaign of ithe Canadian Concert Association of Oshawa, Dr. Sidney Bateson, 'who acted as chairman in the ab- 'sence of Morley Wyman, introduc- 'ed Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Bird of ronto.

Stanley Myers, manager of the North Loblaw groceteria, who was honored by his co-workers, on Wednesday night, on the com- pletion of 25 years with the com- pany.

Bullet Holes Puzzle Police RILLIA -- Augustin Larrivee, of Toronto, a driver for the Charl- ton Transport Co., of Oshawa, re- ceived the surprise of his life when he arrived at Green Gables gar- age on Wednesday night of last week to deliver two Austin cars he had brought from Hamilton. As the cars were being unloaded it was discovered that two bullet holes had' been neatly drilled through the left light of the auto nearest the transport's cab. Larrivee told OPP Constables Ken McCutcheon and Ian Hutcheon that he had heard no shots and that the car was in perfect condi- tion when he left Toronto. Only fragments of the bullets were found inside the car. Police were puzzled by the location of the bullet holes and the fact that the outer car was untouched. They theorized that the shots must have been fired from an overhead bridge. Meter Readers Will Wear Fine New Uniforms The meter reading staff of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commis- sion will present an extremely nat- ty appearance, in the near future, when their new uniforms are is- sued. The five men on the staff will be wearing grey uniforms with a dress cap with the letters "OPUC" in gold lettering on the front. Each man will be issued with two pairs of trousers, with a narrow black stripe down the leg; a grey dress blouse and the cap. Al. Price, local clothier, supplied the new uniforms to the commis- sion at a price of $40.85 for each man. FIRE INJURIES FATAL OTTAWA (CP)--Victer Melvin Goodfellow, a 52-year-old crippled taxi stand dispatcher, died in hos- pital here Thursday from burns suffered Sunday when fire caused $5,000 damage to his home. Police and fire prevention bureau inspec- tors are investigating the possi- bility that the fire in the two- storey home in Ottawa west end was started by children playing with firecrackers or matches. MEAGHER'S ELECTRIC DIAL 5-4711 or 3-3425 Recommend Lights At Gibbs Street A recommendation is to go to city council that traffic lights should be erected at the Simcoe Street South junction with Gibbs Street. Traffic advisory council last night decided to forward the suggestion which will provide a break in the flow between Athol Street and Bloor Street and enable traffic to streets. The- advisory council wants the lights up as soon .as possible so that the scheme could tie-in with the one-way street plan now in opera- tion on Albert and Celina Streets. Traffic going on the one way roads could emeerge on to Elm, the south- ern boundary of the scheme, and crossing Simcoe on the lights, go down Gibbs to Park Road and then to the highway. Tom Prest observed that the lights would have gone at the junc- tion in any case, whether or not the one-way streets were being used. : Traffic counters are being used on Albert and Celina to determine current traffic flow, announced Ald. Herb Robinson. Some people were complaining that the motorists in- stead of using the one-way streets were making even more use of con- gested Simcoe. If the lights went at Gibbs Street then the buses could emerge onto Simcoe there instead of at Mec- Gregor, said R, B. Hardy. Norman Millman said he had re- ceived favorable comments on the one-way street scheme. That was unusual, he commented, for usually the local people were those that were distasfied. Ted Middlemass, who 1s chair- man of the advisory council, said the lights were needed for two sep- arate reasons. One reason was to break the long stretch of traffic so that the side roads could be used. The other was that it could be coupled with the one-way street system. Last year the council considered putting in lights at the junction of Mill and Simcoe. Mill is heavily used during road constructions pro- jects in the south-west and the council members considered last night that if the lights went at Gibb and Simcoe they would stop the traffic to allow cars to emerge from Mill. The traffic council doesn't want to see more than one set of lights between Athol and Simcoe.

CLARKE If the folks in the towns and cities of Ontario go on clamouring for yellow colouring of margarine, farmers might be well advised to demand the abolition of all pro- tective tariffs on manufactured goods like farm equipment, auto- mobiles and other things they have to buy. . Farmers are being: lectured by the "Toronto daily morning bible" and other wise newspapers, whose editors cannot tell one end of, a cow from the other, to produce more cheaply and compete with world prices. How on earth can they compete if they have to buy in a protected market and sell in an open mar- ket? Canadian industries cannot pro- duce shirts and automobiles as cheaply as other countries. Are farmers permitted to buy Japanese shirts or British cars at world prices? NO! So-called anti-dump- ing duties are imposed to prevent '"'unfair" competition. But if it comes to colouring of margarine, which is a matter of convenience, people fall for the specious arguments served to them in full page advertisements paid for by a few large corporations, Margarine is a necessity for all those, who cannot afford to buy butter. But why colour it yellow? To make it look like butter, of course, Is it fair competition to imitate the other fellow's product? Is there anybody else allowed to do it? Why should the margarine barons be? Let them colour it brown and compete with its own brother -- peanut butter. Canadian industry is protected, because it cannot compete with USA and Britain, not to speak of Germany and Japan. Certainly Canadian agriculture, which is still the basic industry of the country, deserves some con- sideration. NEW BILL INTRODUCED The very clever and smart pub- licity and advertising campaign of the "Institute of Edible Oil Foods' has forced the Ontario government to withdraw Bill 71. A new bill has been introduced by the Min- ister of Agriculture pro tem, Mr. Doucett. The new act prohibits the use of milk and milk products in the manufacture of edible oil foods, This means that anybody will be permitted to manufacture from ed- ible oils any product imitating a dairy product like ice cream or whipping cream,and maybe cheese or even fluid milk. So far considerable quantitites of milk solids-non-fat (Skim milk powder) have been used jn the manufacture of some of these imi. tations, giving the farmers a mar- ket for some of their surpluses. The prohibition of the use of these solids-non-fat will lead to a further increase of the surplus of skim milk powder, which at present amounts to 50 million pounds. OSTRICHES, NOT LEADERS As long as the leaders of the different farm federations and as- sociations stick their heads in the sand, instead of coming out in the open and putting their side of the case before the people, farmers will be at the wrong end of the stick. The farmers know it and are ready for action. Where are the leaders? MEN ~--NOT MICE Tom ("Old Man Ontario") Ken- nedy always maintained, that far- mers' action -- if ever -- would come from Grey and Bruce coun- Hes, It is coming, and coming ast. On April 4, 1952, less than a year ago, seventeen farmers met in a little hall at Maxwell, Ontario, and decided that they wanted action. The Ontario Farmers' Union was off to a good start. Last Tuesday over 300 represen- tatives of 40 locals, spread over six counties, totalling 2000 mem- bers, crowded into the townhall of Orangeville. They listened to guest speak- er Joe Phelps, President of the Saskatchewan Farmers' Union and Chairman of the Inter-Provincial Council of Farmers' Unions. They cheered the good news of the first positive result of the un- ion's activities when a telegram from Ottawa was read out, saying that from now on Eastern farmers could buy their feed grains direct from the Wheat Board and that the federal government would pay we usubl freight subsidy to On- ario. THEY TOOK ACTION They instructed their directors to request the Ontario government and the Agricultural Committee of the Legislature for a public en- quiry into the effects the introduc- tion of new dairy substitutes would have on the whole community, having special regard to nutrition, soil conservation and the employ- ment and livelihood of all those people who have to sell their pro- ducts to the farmer. They resolved to consult and co- operate with other organized bo- dies of working men. They did what farmers should have done long ago, They took ac- tion, Carriers Are Guests At © Social Event Seventy-six of The Times-Gazette carrier boys and girls met in the CRA hall on Wednesday for an evening of entertainment given them by the circulation depart- ment of the newspaper.

[PUC Estimates Cost At $34,103 During the current year the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission expects to complete an extensive program of watermain extensions in addition to the extension of its wa ter purification and intake systems at the lakefront. commission gave its approval to part of the program of main ex- tensions which will be done this year, This program, which will cost $34,103, will be carried out at the discretion of Manager George F. Shreve as speedily as possible. The extensions to which approv- al were given, with their location, length and cost, were as follows: Sylvia Street from Wolfe Street to Conant, 694 feet--$3,470. Wolfe Street from Ritson Road South to Sylvia, 399 feet--$1,995. Conant Street from Ritson Rd. South to Sylvia, 399 feet--$1,995.

Churchill Ave, from Hortop to Somerville, 541 feet--$2,705, Members of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission, at their meeting last night, voiced gratifi- cation at the size of the.13th Bill received from the Ontario Electric Power Commission recently. The credit, which: amounted to $180,371.94 was one of the largest ever received here and compared with the credit of $101,692.07 re- ceived in the spring of 1952. Manager George F. Shreve com- mented that the sizable credit re- turn was due to the fact that the load factor during 1952 was the best in the commission's history. This was due to the fact that the General Motors plant was oper- ating with two shifts and the de- mand for power, which is paid for on a peak load basis," was well Credit Will Aid Power Extensions maintained during each 24 hour period Continuing, Mr. Shreve said the size of the credit was very pleas ing in view of the expenditures the commission will be undertaking this year on its electrical system. He added .that over $300,000 was plowed back into the system last year in extensions and improve. ments. The commission this year is fat. ed with the need of extending lines in the south west section of the city as well as other work. The entire program for the year has not been drafted as yet, but will be presented to the commis. sion at its next meeting. In order to inform the public of the work to be done a slip outlining the work will be enclosed at the billing period following this meeting. Ready To Gore and Storrie, Toronto con- sulting engineers, will be ready by Wednesday of next week to call for tenders for the extension of the city's water purification plant on the lakefront. In a letter to the Public Utilities Commission, the firm has pointed out that specifications for the equipment required have been ap- rpved. About 13 contractors have secur- ed copies of the plans and specifi- cations from the consulting engin- eers. Preparations are aiso being made for the calling of tenders for the new intake pipe and steps are being taken to clear this work with the government departments. The commission last night took Plant Extensions Start steps to prepare for its big cone struction program at the lake by deciding to call for tenders for the demolition of a cottage it ace quired on the site of the purifica- tion plant extension. The commission will also call for tenders for the demolition of the brick house to the east of the pumping station which is occupied by the chief engineer, It was de cided to build a new house for the engineer on a new site.
