Men's Club Hears Humorous Talk "There is less bloodshed in the bull rings of Spain in a week, than on one Hockey Night in Can- ada." Vivid epigramatic statements on a rip Jast year through Spain and the ddle East by Captain the Rev. Norman Rawson of Hamilton, drove home to an audience at King Street United Church Wednesday some truths about conditions in the countries which he visited. It was a highly entertaining lecture in- terspersed with personalized ob- servations on customs and politics little known in Canada. A full auditorium ' greeted the speaker. The affair was sponsor- ed by the Men's Club. Clarke Hub- bell presided. Rev. Mervin A. Bury introduced the speaker and the thanks of the audience was tender- ed by Maurice Hart. A good, solid musical entertainment was accept- ably given featuring duets by Wal- lace Young at the organ and Wal- ter Jackson, piano; Don Allman, bass, and Klemi Hambiirg, violin. BARRAGE OF HUMOR Minister of Centenary United Church in Hamilton for the past 17 years, Captain Rawson is a speaker of renown. His travelogue- style address was liberally spiced th humor and political allusions, To begin with, a barrage of funny stories let the audience know the speaker did not plan on giving a whole evening of serious talk. In a word, his picture of travels in Spain and the Middle East was most "graphic". Starting off from England, he paid tribute to the spirit and ac- COMING EVENTS RUMMAGE SALE -- ST.

HEAT GHASTLY "When we landed at the Madrid airport, we were greeted by ter- rific, ghastly heat," said Captain Rawson. '"The soldiers on duty there were as dirty and slothful a bunch as I've seen anywhere." Customs such as the seista, ap- pealed to Captain Rawson as good old Spanish customs "and I be- came a Spaniard over night". Liv- ing in Spain is cheap and although the hotels are beautifully furnish- ed, the elements of modern sanita- tion are lacking. In the various countries he vis- ited, the Canadian dollar leads the | | list of international currencies as to value and at the time of his visit was worth 40 per cent more than the American dollar in Spain. Although a Conservative, Captain | = Rawson generously ec the work and influence of Hon. Lester Pearson and Hon. C. D. Howe as the principal architects of this hap- py state of affairs. FREEDOM UNKNOWN "There is utter absence of all the freedoms we know, in Spain," said Captain Rawson. "One is struck at once by the stark pov- erty of the people. The Protestant religion and all others except the Roman Catholic, are absolutely out: Churches are not even permit- ted to display signs. The Bible cannot be printed in the country. In theory, Protestants can bury their dead and marry, but in ac- tuality they can't. I do not hesitate to say it: all the rights that Ro- man Catholics are demanding for themselves elsewhere, are denied to others in Spain." Continuing: "There is no free- dom for labor -- no freedom of speech. Gatherings of more than four people are prohibited, except at bull fights. No autos were im- ported until last summer. Yes, France has brought a lot of order to the country but it is an order of complete coercion. As long as one follows the rules, he can be happy within certain limits. The Span- iards recognize this situation but | they feel that the only alternative is an unacceptable one -- Russia." Agricultural practice in Spain is completely primitive. THE BULL FIGHT One of the highlights of his tout and a highlight of his address last night was the bull fights which the speaker described as "a terrific fascination and a wonderful art to watch." "I feel that we younger brash countries of the west have no right MEN'S CLUB (Continued on Page 5) Plan To Burn Mortgage On Local Church This Sunday Centre Street Unit- ed Church celebrates its 122nd Anniversary; 97 years as the Chris- REV.

THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETT Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle ' OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 241 OSHAWA-WHITBY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1953 PAGE THREE Arbitrary Attitude Of City Deplored Wonders of Science Displayed At OCVI Previews of Progress, a drama- tic, non-technical science show, sponsored by General Motors of Canada, was shown locally on Wed- YFC Group To Be Shown Feature Film As a result of numerous re- quests and suggestions, the world's first Christian western film will be back in Oshawa this coming Saturday night, under the sponsor- ship of Oshawa Youth for Christ. Last year when the film was shown, it took two showings to capacity crowds on a rainy night to let everyone see it, and a good turnout is expected Saturday. \ Mr. Texas is produced by Billy raham Evangelistic Films, pro- ducers of Oiltown, U.S.A., which was shown in Oshawa recently, The story is built around Billy Graham's large campaign in Fort Worth, Texas, and features the story of a typical Texan cowboy who tasted everything the world has to offer, but found no real satisfaction until he found Christ. The leading actor, Redd Harper, is known and beloved by the Chris- tian public for his song '"'Each Step of the Way". Redd was in Osh- awa in January of this year during World Vision Rallies. The film in which he stars, Mr. Texas, will be shown in St. An- drew's United Church auditorium, one of the city's largest, and the program is scheduled to begin at 7.45 p.m. Bob Lidell, outstanding baritone soloist from Galt, Ontario, well - known in Canada and the United States, will be the special musi- cal guest, and feat on the Osh- awa Youth for Christ broadcast, recorded during the Rally Satur- day night, and heard Sunday morn- ing at 9.30 on CKLB. RADIO PIONEER : Marconi took out his first patent Or wireless invention in Britain BIRTHDAYS Congratulations are extend- de to Mrs. Marie Fielding, Ash- burn, who is celebrating her 80th birthday today. "|nesday morning to a student- packed auditorium in the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Witnessed by some 800 students, and the teaching staff, Previews of Progress graphically presented many of the most recent develop- ments in scientific research. Purpose of the presentation was to portray the story of progress through engineering and science. The assembly was impressed with the interpretation of scientific knowledge which allowed the or- dinary person to fully understand some of the wonders of science. SCIENCE DEMONSTRATION Tricks of magic could not com- pare with the actual science de- monstrations that were performed on the stage. The "bottle with a temper" was demonstrated to the amazement of the audience. A very ordinary looking glass bottle was completely shattered by dropping a pea-sized pebble into the bottle. The scientific principal of this fan- tastic bottle was explained in de- tail by the demonstrator. The world's fastest method of producing synthetic rubber also excited a great deal of interest. A catalyst was added to a basic ingredient, and the mixture was then shaken up in a pop bottle. When uncapped, the mixture shot forth in a white, foamy gob of rubber. Another magical trick -- frying an egg on a cold stove -- was demonstrated and explained. HYDROGEN EXPLOSION A demonstration that opened with a "bang" -- a hydrogen ex- plosion. -- prowed that there is energy in matter. The lecturer separated a drop of water into hy- drogen and oxygen by electrolysis. He collected the gases in a test- tube and exploded them over a candle-flame. To show that the energy in mat- ter can be converted to useful pur- poses, the demonstrator used a firetube. This was a cle-ar, plastic tube, three feet long and three inches in diameter, with a stopper at each end. He placed a few drops of fuel in the tube and noted that the proportion of air to liquid wa: about 9,000 to 1. This is about th same proportion of air to gasoline in a car's cylinder. He mixed the fuel and air, then placed a lighted match at one end. There was a "whoosh!" -- and a blue flame travelled down the tube and blew out the end of the stopper. "That burning," the lecturer ex- CRA Planning Classes In Art CRA is planning to include a new activity in its Fall and Winter schedule in the form of,Art Classes for adults. CRA is fortunate obtaining the services of Mrs. Zilla Brewster, a graduate of the Ontario College of Art who has instructed both children and adults in Art in the Maritimes and in Ontario. Mrs. Brewster is known for her competence in the water colours media and has held one man ex- hibitions of her work. She has had pictures accepted by such distin- guished organizations as the Royal Canadian Academy, Ontario So- ciety of Artists, the Graphic Art Society, the Watercolour Society and the Hamilton Art Association. The course will contain the fun- damentals of how to proceed in drawing and painting, for the ama- teur and for those who might eventually wish to go into the Art field on a professional basis. Mrs. Brewster is planning to in- clude in the course the following media: drawing with pencil, char- coal, and carbon, and painting with watercolour, cil and pastels. Such things as the study of com- position and colour harmony, the drawing and painting of still life and costume and figure painting will all be part of the course, Temporarily the classes scheduled for Wednesday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. The CRA is anxious to have those who are interested in the course register, and state if this night is suitable. This may be done by calling CRA at 5-1111.

HOW ENERGY CREATED How energy could be created from the sun was another feature, and although the method would not be practical today, because of low efficiency, it did prove that scientific knowledge will some day overcome many of the present heat and energy problems. The theory behind jet propulsion was demonstrated, and, much to the surprise of many, it was ex- lained that jet propulsion had n a Scientific fact for over 2,000 years. Following is the comment of M. F. Kirkland, principal of O.C. V.I., who thanked the GM lecturers at the conclusion of their demon- stration. "Indicative of the absorbing in- terest shown by the student body was their rapt attention, evident throughout the entire science show. Such attention I have never been able to command. This stimulat i ngperformance, I know, will have added immeasurably to many of our boys' appreciation for scien- tific knowledge. I was particularly happy to hear the narrator stress that progress through engineering and science is based on imagina- tion, initiative and above all--hard work." FINE POINT Parts of thee mechanism of Brit- ain's first atom-bomb were ma- Should Consider Planning Needs In a restrained, yet biting commentary, Planning Board Chairman Norman C. Millman last night scored the "arbitrary way" Oshawa City Council has overruled various decisions of the Board. Particularly he mentioned, as a case in point, council's decision last week to grant Detective A. W. Alexander a building permit for a loca- tion, north of Louisa Street, on a site which had been intended as part of the Creek Valley plan, STUDY NEEDED "Not that council did not have the right to overrule the Board but my point is that they should give all due consideration when they find themselves in disagree- ment with the Board which made that" decision. There were sound reasons for our refusal," said Mr. Millman. '""The Creek Valley Plan is the one thing we have in Osh- awa to show there is more thant bricks and mortar to the idea of planning. If all that council wants in planning can be done with the use of a square and fill- ing up empty spaces in blocks, there is no n for us." * Mr. Millman observed that there are some I bers of city il who seem to Be not much inter- ested in town planning and do not understand its objectives. "The position is that they (the council) ask for volunteers to do certain studies for the city and then they legislate on the basis of the findings. If they don't give proper consideration to those stud- "lies, how are they going to get men of any calibre to make those studies." Other members agreed that their ness but they do not plan to make any "issue" out of the matter. It was recalled that, on the ques- tion of a 'building permit for De- tective Alexander, he wrote a let- ter to city council and appeared in Jerson at the last meeting, to back up his request. Although successful, council split 5-5 on the vote and it was the deciding vote of Mayor John Naylor, cast '"unhesitatingly" in favor of the applicant, which decided the matter. At another point in the meeting, Mr. Millman discoursed on the basis of planning and zoning. PROTECTS VALUES "The basic thing is that =z protects property values," he said. "It protects investment by means of homogenous grouping of simi. lar types of properties." Touchinog on the . question of whether or not an arena would be permitted to be constructed in Alexandra Park, the chairman said: The location would be un- wise. The traffic situation alone would seem to rule it out. There is only one traffic artery and that chined to one-millionth of an inch. job is often a discouraging busi- is already overloaded."
