CYCLE IN D As part of its effort to 'aid the newly formed "Oshawa Traf- fic Safety Council', the KINS- MEN CLUB of Oshawa has start- ed its first '"Lite-a-Bike" campaign in which it will equip every school child's bicycle, in the City with "Scotchlite" re- flective tape, brilliantly visible to motorists at night, when head- light ams strike its surface. With white "Scotchlite" on the handlebars and front forks and red '"'Scotchlite"" on the rear K WITH SAFETY fender, bicycles are plainly vi- sible for long distances at night. Photo at left shows how bicycle appears in daylight; right the same bicycle as it appears to a motorist in 'the dark. The same material was used for airport markers and harbor buoys aur- ing the war, and has since been- used widely on trucks, buSes and on traffic signs, throughout Canada and 'the States. The Kinsmen Club is doing this free of charge for all school children.

A total of $75 was realized. As master of ceremonies Don- ald Lennox kept the show moving and the young artists showed con- siderable talent and showmanship. First on the program, pretty Mary MacDonald charmed the audience with her songs. Vincent Gorman and Jimmy Robinson with a com- edy act were very funny. Billy Wade and his drums amazed everyone by his outstanding per- ormance. Next on the program, Pee Wee Griffin and his Rhythmakers, featuring Helen Marple added estern touch to the program. The Two Dots and a Dash outdid them- selves in their pantomime act, which featured Dave Harmer. In another highlight of the show, song stylist Kathryn Frost, currently singing with Bernard Tierney and his orchestra, delight- ed with her music. For the grand finale to the show, Oshawa's Jubilaires of night club and TV fame drew encore after encore. A troupe that is really 'on the way up," Nick, | Bob, Bud and Walt contributed | much to making the show a suc- cess Others who contributed were Dick Valleau at the piano and W. Woodcock, guitar. Thanks to the UAW executive, the union hall was donated on this occasion to help a worthy cause.

He was taken to Oshawa Hospital by ambulance. The youth's father, Clayton Wan- 49, narrowly escaped locomotive he was driving was derailed during shunting opera- tions at the General Motors south plant Floyd, a railroad employee for the past four years, was walking along the floor of the car as it entered the Ellis street yard. The heavy tailgate had not been prop- erly fastened, and a sudden jerk of the train sent it crashing down on top of him. re Boost Tax Rate | By Seven Mills HAMPTON -- An over-all mill | {OSHAWA THE DAILY TIMES-GAZE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whithy Gazette and Chronizle SRN RSEN | Fund . and Mrs. Don Richmond and Mrs. Holland | rate increase of approximately | seven mills will be levied this year on the taxpayers of Darling- » | VOL. 14--No. 85 OSHAWA-WHIT BY, TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1955 PAGE 3 . and Mrs. B.
