Changes In Labor Laws Explained An informative report. on the re- cent session of the Ontario legisla- ture, tailored to the interest of lab- or men, was given last night at a meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council by T. D. Thomas, local member. An amendment to the Workmen's Cojpensation Act increases the al- lowances from $50 for a widow and | $12 for her child, to $75 and $25 per | month respectively with a $150 | maximum payment. This amount still falls short of what it should be, said Mr. Thomas but it is a step in the right direction. The Act has not yet been proclaimed. Moreov- er, it should have been made ret- roactive to give relief to those now living on low allowancs. { for retroactivity is pointed up by the case of a Port Perry ..ei ....0 lost a hand many years ago but all he can receive is $18 a month. "If we can spend $150,000,000 this year for highways alone, surely something more could have been done in pensions," said Mr. Thom- as, An amendment to the Facotires Act extends the time to 2 a.m. that women and youths can wo * n factories. Labor Minister Daly den- ied that any pressurc .... a brought to bear to obtain this ex- tension (for which a government permit is necessary) and it is cer- Jain that the unions did not ask or it.

Proceeds of the car draw, which is one of its chief features, will be turned over to the city to pay for one of the new Cadillac ambulances which are due to start operating in Osh- awa during.the first week in May. In order to meet this obligation, the Kinsmen are asking for the whole-hearted support of all citizens of Oshawa towards making this annual carnival a complete suceess. In addition to the immediate pro- jéct of presenting an ambulance to the city, the Kinsmen Club carries on a great deal of social and welfare work throughout the year. Weekly parties are held for the children in the Children's Shel- the carnival and of | pean great deal of time and many thousands of dollars in puilding the Kinsmen Memorial Stadium, which is greatly appreciated by the sport- ing public of Oshawa. Recently a very successful ev- ening of entertainment was pre- sented at the Regent Theatre, un- der the chairmanship of Ron Wil- son, in aid of the British and Euro- Flood Disaster Fund. As a result of this effort, a sum of ap- proximately $1000 was turned over to the city for its flood relief fund, and in addition, another contribu- tion of $500 was sent direct to England. This year the carnival promises to he bigger and better than ever. Capable committees, under the ven- eral chairmanship of Jack Men- zies, have been working hard in their preparations for staging it, and these plans have been com- pleted down to the last degree in the hope of giving the people of Oshawa two nights of enjoyable entertainment, as well as the op- portunity of helping the club carry on its community efforts. Those in ter, as well as a bang-up Christ- mas party there at that season. | During the past five years the | Kinsmen Club has expended a! charge are hoping that the Arm- ories will be filled to capacity for this event on Thursday and Fri- day evening of this week. CRA Laying Plans For Summer Season Summer days are coming, and soon sunshine will dapple the blue waters of the swimming pool and the tree - shaded lawns of the city parks. And that means that | Oshawa's children will be out to swim and play games through the | long, happy summer days. It also means t there will have to be playground supervisors and life guards on hand every day to look | after their safety and organize their leisure time activities. is where CRA comes in. Applications are being received now for the CRA summer pro- gram staff, and will be accepted ril 18. The three categories which staff is being hired in- de playground supervisors for each of the 17 city parks, swim- ming supervisors for Rotary swim- ming pool (the only one to be oper- ated this summer), and sports supervisors who will direct ath- letic program on an area basis. Those who have observed CRA summer program in the past will remember the constant succession of activities at the parks, the Pen- s, the parades, the pet shows, the kite-flying contests and the games fests. They will re- member, too, the splendid drama- |tic shows, the ballet fantasies and revues put on at the band-shell in Memorial Park, which used talent from all over the city. Many will recall the water - safety programs carried on at the two swimming pools, where children learned to swim and acquired valuable life-| | saving techniques. Applicants for supervisory jobs in these varied and interesting fields must be 16 years old and over, have an interest in people, program ability and qualities of imagination. It is a challenging and exciting job for either teen- ager or college student. Those who are accepted will be required to attend a training course at Camp Quin-Mo-Lac dur- ing the last week of June and pre- liminary training prior to this course in after school and evening periods. Application forms with salary schedule may be secured at the Recreation Centre, 100 Gibbs Street. ice Bureau of the Legion will be in Oshawa on Wednesday, April 22, at the Legion Hall, to interview veterans who have any problems with reference to pensions, treat- ment, allowances or any other matter.

His services are available to any veteran, regardless of whe- ther or not he is a member of the Legion, Chairman Joe Davies of the club room games committee is anxious to have the darts and bil- liards tournament games played off as soon as possible. Players still in these tournaments are ask- ed to make arrangements for their games, sosthat the competi- tions can make progress. There are still some seats avail- {able on the buses which.will make | the trip for a fraternal visit to {the Islington Branch on Friday, | April 24.

Oshawa and Whit- by branch teams will take part, and will travel in the same bus, which will leave the Oshawa Le- gion Hall at 10 a.m, b Civil Defence Need Cited An interesting and informative talk was given by H. G. Sliter, who is Civil Defence representa- tive of the Ontario Steel Co., at a meeting of St. Gregory's Council of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. Sliter, was introduced by Past Grand Knight Cliff Roesih. The speaker prefaced his speech by saying that Civil Defence is a way of saving lives and prope and of protecting ourselves. and our families against any form of aerial attack. It is hoped that we never have to suffer any such at- tacks, but the speaker went on, it may well be that if American cities are the prime target and the at- tacking force cannot for some rea- son reach their targets, no doubt Canadian cities would be attacked. As long as this possibility exists, we must prepare and at least 250,- 000 Canadians should receive Civil | Defence training. | Mr. Sliter gave examples of the effects of atomic bombs and what to do in case of an attack. His talk was implemented by the showing of a film which showed the effects of the bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Magasaki. In moving a vote of thanks, Brother Joe Cooper said that he and the rest of the. Council had been impressed by the speech and the film, and the applause at the inclusion showed this. The Council will be sending four teams to take part in the annual Bowling Tournament in Toronto on April 26.

"I don't agree as to the neecssity for this extension in a time which is not of national emergency. Mr. Daly also agreed that permission for the extension will be witahc.d unless the unions agree in a plant." The member warned unions te be on the alert for any abuses of this working extension. Finally, Mr. Thomas touched on some sidelights of his experiences at Queen's Park which gave an in- sight into the workings of govern- Post Office Staff Moving On April 24 The medium by' which some of the pressure on the postal facili- ties in Oshawa in recent years has been relieved, the post office an ex on Simcoe Street South will be abandoned by Postmaster Norman J. Moran and the members of his staff during the April 25 weekend. For the past month workmen have been hard at work erecting a quonset hut at the corner of Church and William Streets to ac- commodate the sorting staff as as well'as the mail carriers. This work is now nearing completion. Postmaster Moran announced today that the job of moving to the new location will be commenc- ed on April 24 and the transfer should be completed by Monday, April 27, Following the evacuation office staff, it will be torn down to make way for the new federal building on which work has ready been commenced. Mr. Moran urges the public to extend the fullest possible co-oper- ation to the postal staff during the transfer operations as it may not be possible to provide the same service as now being given. The closing of the annex build- ing will also mean the removal of cels at the Simcoe Street loca- tin. Mr. Moran points out, how- ever, that a collection is made from the drop boxes in the busi- ness area at 8 p.m. each evening and persons wishing to mail let- ters may do so in these boxes. Would Retain Rent Control At the suggestion of T. D. Thom- as LA, Oshawa and District Labor Council last night passed a motion protesting decision of the provincial government to withdraw from .the field of rental control next March. At the same time, Oshawa City Council will be asked what arrangements it can make for local continuance of re nt controls. Mr. Thomas pointed out that Oshawa was one of 230 Ontario municipalities which said last year they wanted the government to keep the controls. Seven hundred and twenty others wanted the gov- ernment to secede from the rent field. However, the large cities control, embrace three - fifths of iv total population of the prov- nce. A council member commented: "Some people would like to get rich quick by charging fabulous rents. The city should have inspec- tors to see if the rat trap is worth what landlords are asking." YOUNG HELPERS ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (CP)-- Training in civil defence work will start in public schools here shortly, according to Brg. G. Whitelaw, drector of the local civil defence organization. Students will be taught to assist teachers or war- dens in getting younger pupils to places of safety. PROMOTES FRIENDSHIP VANCOUVER (CP) -- Premier W. A. C. Bennett has been appoin- ted honorary president of the newly formed Chinese Canadian Citizens' Association here. Its president, Jack Eng, said the association aims to promote better relations between Chinese and other groups.

Audubon | "America the Beautiful", a 50,-| 000-mile travelogue, will be the Audubon Screen Tour subject of Tom and Arlene Hadley of Holly, Michigan, presented by the Board of Education at the Central Col- | legiate Auditorium, Thursday eve- ning, April 23, at 8 p.m. This bright and varied motion natural scenic glor- ies of the continent. It starts out from the Black Hills, with their gigantic sculptures of famed American leaders towering against the mountain tops -- over the Great Plains where remnants of American bison herds have been restored -- across the snow-capped Rockies to Vancouver and quaint Victoria -- down the long reaches of the west coast with its giant trees, verdant valleys and tremen- dous peaks through the south-west, along the Rio Grande, ranging through Texas and Okla~ homa, up to Hiawatha-land in innesota -- down the great Mis- sissippi to Louisiana and Evange- line country -- over to sunny Flor- ida, dipping to Key West almost in the tropics -- then into the blue- hazed Smoky Mountains -- up to Quebec, and "back home" |i Screen Tour To Show Travelogue Michigan, which to them, with ad- mitted bias, is the most beautiful part of America. All along the way the Hadleys stopped to film the interesting in- digenous birds and animals, among them; willets and other shore birds, herons, white ibis, laughing gulls and sora rails; deer, coy- otes and antelope. Previously Mr, Hadley was a General Motors executive, head of the architectural section of the Fisher Body Works engineering de- partment. By avocation, and now by vocation as well, he is a natur- alist, wildlife photographer and philosopher. Mrs. Hadley has been active in conservation and Audu- bon enterprises. She is a charter member of the Michigan Wild- flower Association. She assists in the photography and serves as projector operator. The Hadleys' Screen ' Tour pro- grams are distinguished by their use of their own tape recordings of bird songs, calls of wild ani- mals and other sounds of the out- of-doors, as background accompan- iment to the color film and lecture presentation. This is the last screen tour of the season, and generally conceded to be the best. Guest speaker at last night's dinner meeting of Lebanon Lodge, AF and AM, No. 139, in the Mas- onic Hall was Mayor W. J. Naylor, whose message was about "Man's lationship to God." Beginning with Emerson's declar- ation that "'there's no such thing as history -- it's just biography," Mayor Naylor stressed the human values, and man's dependance on | God down through the ages. The | spiritual and physical laws could | be reconciled, he urged, in the oneness of life through God. His Worship pointed out how scientists like Huxley and Joad, who were crass materialists in their early years, believing only in the effic- acy of science to heal mankind's troubles, turned in their later years to spiritual things and found their values there. "Man is a soul -- the image of kingdom is within us. Just as a drop of water may have in it all the qualities of the trackless ocean, so man may have all divinity within him, if he but turn to and tap the source of all power." As Dr. Stanley Jones put it, ra- cial boundaries, nationalistic creed and religious differences all fad away in man's oneness with God. An artist is able to penetrate sur- face appearance, the speaker said, in oder to bring out and emphasize hidden beauties. So man is able to transcend material things to reach eternal truths. Nicodemus, a man of the world, politically minded, "a good church- man" felt a lack in his personality Mayor Is Speaker At Lebanon Lodge which he was only able to fill when he made God part of his way of life. "We must use all our powers, not just our mind and our emo- tions," declared Mr. Naylor, "to tap that hidden source of power. Whether we are learned or ill ed- ucated, it is available to us all. Love so amazing, so divine, de- mands our life, our soul, our all, We can know all the facts of re- ligion and be dead spiritually. As the Master said 'I am come that ye may have life more abundant- ly." The mayor closed with the quo- tation used by the late King George VI in his New Year's mes- sage: "Put your hand in the hand of God, and it will be to you a sure help and better than the known way." Introduced by Wor. Bro. Harold Tripp, Mayor Naylor was thanked by Bro. Ralph found for "a thought-provoking and deeply spir- itual message." Wor. Bro. Harold Flintoff acted as chairman, and other head table guests were Wor. Bro. Al Pen- found, ruling master. of Cedar Lodge, Wor. Bro. Charles Templar and Wor. Bro. W. H. Gibbie.

McConkey, secretary of the chamber, that the Chamber would be happy to have a labor delegate sit in with the Chamber on matters of mutual interest. Mr. Fenwick explained: 'This Labor Council was affiliated with the Chamber for three years dur- ing the war. But they hold no meetings. The board of directors holds a closed meeting. There is no way of getting together with them." Mr. Fenwick said that when he inquired why no labor members were on the C. of C. executive, the explanation was that the nom- inating committee sends out a list of names on a sheet to members and, from these names, the elec- tions are held. '"'Basically, the Chamber of Com- bined wealth of the membership of the Chamber is sufficient to make up amy deficits it may have... without the city also providing space for it and the licence bureau in the new city hall."

We would have to explore which problems might be mutual to the two bodies." William Rutherford read from the minutes of the Chamber of Commerce of April 8 stating that . a general membership meeting wag proposed to be held the first or second week in May at which Les- lie Blackwell of Lindsay (former Attorney-General) would be invit- ed to speak.

Bert Cafik, star of the winning one-act play 'Campbell of Kil mohr"', and winner of the festival's best actor award will star in the current production which is being directed by Mr. Charles Jolliffee of the teaching staff.

The play will be given in the commodious new double auditorium at Pickering High School. The ad- mission is 50 cents for adults and 35 cents for children.
