THE DAILY*TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gozette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. 5. Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Fridoy, September 20, 1957 Annual Community Chest Campaign Dates Are Set! Once again the time has come Oitizens of Oshawa are by this around for Oshawa citizens to be time fully conversant with the aims and principles behind the Community Chest drive. It combines in one appeal thinking in terms of the contribution they can make to the city's social up nial requirements of some 19 welfare and recreational agencies.

The annual banquet for the work- ers and canvassers will be held on Tuesday, October 8. This will be the great jumping-off event for the cam- paign. Following the example of W. A. Wecker, OBE., his predecessor as president and general manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, E. A. Walker, the new occupant of that position, has graciously offered to be host for that banquet. He will personally meet the costs of this function, so that none of the Commu- nity Chest funds will be used for that purpose. of the nual Community Chest eampaign for Oshawa, and each year, with one ex- ception, the objective was exceeded. The only exception was in 1055, when, owing to the strike of General Motors workers, it was not possible to make 8 canvass in that large plant. As the city grows, so do the needs participating agencies grow. Their work cannot remain static. It must expand, and this makes it im- perative that whatever objective is decided upon by the Chest executive should be reached. Oshawa has an en- viable record in this respect. We are confident that this maintained in the 1957 eampaign. record will be End For Grocery Store Beer It can now be taken for granted next session of the legislature of On- that the sale of beer, in grocery tario, stores, regardless of its alcoholic eon- a bill amending the Liquor Control Act so as to make the sale of this sub-stand- would be introduced tent, is going to be made definitely _.°\ o grocery stores illegal, illegal in Oniario.

This is the first indication that any of those Freedom Fight- ers who escaped from Hungary after their valiant but vain rebel- lion last fall were not happy in this land of refuge. Immigration officials here have anpounced that these 22 Hungar- fans will be flown back to Vienna free of charge on a transatlantic airliner chartered by our govern- ment which is going to pick up more Hungarian refugees wish. to come to Canada. As the- sifliner would otherwise be fly. ing empty to Vienna, this court. costs nothing. They will leave apada on Sept, 24, On Sept. 9 radio Budapest an. nounced that the Canadian gov- ernment would pay the return journey of any Hungarian refu- ees who mow wished to return their homeland, It quoted as the reason the refugees wish to return the fact that they are hav. ing difficulty in getting Jobs in Canada, Specifically, it men- tioned Moose Jaw, stating that 400 Hungarians have dumped here and only two of them have been able to get work, This statement, I understand, is wide of the mark, a» much Com- munist propaganda is. Up to ent 6. 35,419 Hungarian refugees had been admitted to Capada. The Polish diplomatic authorities here assert that they have had applications from more than 800 Hungarians who want to return--the Poles In Ottawa han- dle diplomatic relations for the Hungarian government, which is not represented here, Even if this Polish figure is eorrect--our immigration author- ities doubt it--this represents just more than two per cent of the Hungarians wanting to leave Can- ada. Even British immigrants who don't face the frightful lan- guage difficulties which the Hun- garians do, have a reputed three r cent return rate of dissatis- ed settlers.

It is a pre diction which we can proudly make that Canada will be mag- nificently represented by our team at the UN this session, and by the end of the session that team will have raised our pres. tige on the international scene to an even higher level, In addition to Mr, Smith, Canada will also be represented by Woodstock's mem- ber of Parliament, Wallle Nesbitt, whose considerable talents will be challenged and whose previous political successes will re. warded by this appointment.

The belief is that these weapons will be used if the Arabs are corn. ered by any of the few UNEF guards, TOLERANCE COSTLY There have also been reports recently of firing into the camp from the surrounding area. So far no troops have been injured. But losses through the theft of small arms and other equipment have run into thousands of dollars The only troops permitted to carry weapons in this UNEF maintenance area are guards and provost personnel, The rifles, pistols and sub-ma- chine-guns brought by the Cana- dians were placed under lock and key in a guarded building. In- formants say this was done to prevent indiscriminate firing which would cause international incidents DEFENCELESS "It's nice to know the Arabs who come to rob you are armed," said one Canadian soldier bitterly after the infiltrator was shot. of school-age boys present evi. dence of color deficiency, and about one per cent of the girls have the same trouble. QUESTION AND ANSWER A, G.: T had a baby two years ago and breast-fed her for eight months, However, my breasts will not dry up. What would you suggest that I do? : Answer: It would be well for you to have a complete physica! examination to determine whether there is some hormone difficulty causing the breasts to discharge, \ "and we can't do anything fo pro- tect ourselves." The dead Arab, about 18 years old, was dressed in a tattered Egyptian Army uniform but was not believed to have been a sol- dier. The looters apparently were passing stolen lumber over the barbed-wire fence when an auto- matic weapon carried by one of them discharged. Under the youth's bullet-riddled body was a pair of blue swimm- ing trunks picked 8ff a clothes line Camp security has been a prob- lem since the UNEF mainte: nance, engineering, supply and administrative units moved from the Suez Canal zone. UNEF head. quarters have assigned roughly 50 Indonesian guards to patrol the 1,000-acre establishment, These are supplemented by men as- signed to guard duty by indivi: dual units, LARGE BEAT Because of the shift system used, only about 35 guards are on duty at any given time, They find it 3 Jhvaieal impossibility to pat- rol the five-mile camp perimeter and the area it encloses con. stantly and thoroughly About 700 Canadians and 200 In. dians are stationed at Rafah to handle administrative and main. tenance jobs. Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars worth of equip. ment, supplies 'and personal be- longings aoe stored here. They are a powerful lure for looters. The Arabs move stealthily, They can rifle a man's kit bag without waking him up Guards are under orders not to shoot unless in personal danger of attack. The Arabs apparently know this and are correspond. ingly bold Some UNEF officers feel tougher tactics are needed. Pre. sent headquarters thinking, how. ever, is to avoid any measures which could cause international incidents or provide material for unscrupulous propaganda.

QUEEN'S PARK New Process Is Waiting Funds By DON O'HEARN Show Correspondent to e Dally Times-Gazette TORONTO--This is big, BIG business, .. 0g, Some weeks ago there was an announcement of a new smelti ng process developed by the Ontario research council, At the time it was hailed as an almost sensational development for the province It would make it practical to mine the many low-grade fron de- Josie in the province--and we do ave many, Now it appears it is potentially even bigger than was thought. But there is one hitch, LUCKY ANSWER At the time of the announce- ment there were a few kinks still to be worked out In the process, It was felt it might take some 8t, time to find the ansivers, But word has see) out they have already heen found--one of them, as hapoens in these eases, quite by accident, The council feels the process Is ready for a major test and would Uke the government to go ahead wi A U.S, GRAB And hire is where the hitch comes in, A proper test would mean a large-dcale pilot plant. Such a ant would cost t $1,000,000, And the government doesn't know whether it should spend the money. It feels, with some justification, that this is a lot of money for a governmant to put out on osme- ing which, no matter how certs ain It may Appear, is sill a test, In a sense it would be getting into the field of private industry, And yet there is the questi on whether the project will be pro- ceeded with in the best Interest of the province if It doesn't go ahead with it, eh An alternative, and a one, is that US. interests got hold of the process i it does HOLD BACK? The couhell people are genuine ely afraid of this, though nature lly they don't say so.

GHOSTS BOOMERANG Evén foreign embassies are plagued with squatters. The American embassy almost had to build an adjunct around one or pay him $10,000 to get out, The problem was solved when some- one thought of paying to have the squatter's place haunted He moved fast after that, But the place now is so haunted Indones- ian workmen shy away from it. The British had 1 squatter problem, too, They still have in fact. So do others. But gradually the squatters are being removed from these embassy places The reason for this housing roblem is simple. Jakarta own as Batavia before the war --once was a city of 500,000, Now is has 2,500,000, War, revolution, eivil war and politicians have made it almost impossible to build a new house, buy 8 new house or air-condition an old or new 'louse, . SWEAT IT oUT It's sald there is no power t alr conditioners, I] people say they'll build their own power plants and air « condition, No, say the politicians, that would be too noisy for the neighbors, So, with the exception of a few ambassadors and a few oll com. any executives, air conditioning s almost unheard of today in this equatorial city, Build a few house?
