THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE| published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S. Oshawa, Ont, roge 6 Friday, November 1, 1957 Need For Greater School Accommodation Continues A report submitted by Dr. C. M. El- liott, superintendent of public schools in. Oshawa, to the board of education the other evening, indicates the grave natire of the school accommodation problem which exists in the city today. What is of even greater moment is the fact that this situation is bound to con- tinue for some years to come, . At the present time, two public schools are nearing completion in the city. But since September, the pupils who will fill these schools have been re- ceiving their instruction. in other schools under a shift system. The best tnat can 'be hoped for when 'these fchools are opened--in January, it 1s hoped--is that the shift systems in two df the schools can be abandoned. : According to Dr. Elliott's figures, without any further increase in popula- tion, there will be an increase in school population next September of 650, That takes into consideration only children now living in the city. That means the equivalent of 20 new classrooms will be New Lieutenant- A report emanating from Queen's Park in Toronto intimates that Ontario will have a new Lieutenant-Governor before the end of the year. Lt.-Gov. Louis Breithaupt's term of office ex- pired last spring, but he was requested to continue in office until his successor was appointed. Now it is announced that he will be succeeded by Mr. Justice J. Keiller Mackay, justice of the Su- preme Court of Ontario. "he appointment of Mr. Justice Mac- key to be the Queen's representative in . Ihe province of Ontario will be of eon- ePable interest to the many Oshawa people who have had the privilege of friendship with this distinguished judge. He is well-known to many of Oshawa's war veterans since he served #8 Ontario president of the Canadian Ii#trion, and held that office when the Legion held its provincial convention Oshawa in August of 1981, "Mr. Justice Mackay's career at the required to take care of the influx of extra pupils. That is a situation which must be met, because children cannot be refus- ed an education. To meet it, plans are under way for a 12-room school on Stevenson's road north, and for & six- room addition to the Sunset Heights school. That will relieve the acute con. gestion which prevails in these sections of the city. Actually, another new school is needed, but it has been decided to make use of portable school rooms to take up the excess pupils in other sections of the city, as a temporary measure. The board of education would be greatly pleased if it could provide new schools in all the areas where there is overcrowding. That, however, is not possible in any one year, because of the necessity of keeping debenture issues within reasonable bounds, The situa- tion is being met as well as it can be within prescribed financial limits, but from year to year there will be school building programs until the city's needs are overtaken, Governor bar and on the bench, and as a brilliant soldier in the first world war, is out- standing. A native of Nova Scotia, he has clung to the old Scottish traditions of his clan, and is an ardent devotee of the customs of the land from which his forbears came, A few years ago he was guest speaker at the annual Burns' Dinner of the St. Andrew's Society of Oshawa, The new lieutenant-governor has un- doubted gifts to bring to the high of- fice for which he has been chosen, He is one of Canada's most eloquent ora- tors, with a flair for meticulously pure English. He will bring dignity to the office, as well as a charm of personal- ity which has never béen dimmed by the nature of his duties as a Supreme Court Judge, We congratilate Keiller Mackay on his coming accession to this important position, in which we are sure he will add to the high prestige he now enjoys on the Supreme Court bench. Who Are Retarded Children? . (This article was written by a for- mér Oshawa gir, 8 years old, now liv- ing in Sudbury. She received no outside help whatsoever.

They até children who do not have very much mental ability, but those children are the happiest children in the world. Parents who had these children used to be ashamed of them and send them to-hospitals where they were kept.

Bits Of Verse THE GOLDEN DAYS Once more the golden days are here As beauty follows the circling year. All Earth is beautiful to see. The green of grass and evergreen tree Blends with the gold and russet hue, And cloud flecked skies are a softer blue. The once-green leaves, now gold snd red, Will soon fall on to their earthy bed, Bird colonies in noisy choir Gather on tree and telephone wire, And ope day in the crisp morning air I see the first wild goose flock astir, Winging their way through the golden light On that unerring southward flight The Autumn storms will soon intrude, Upon her calm and restful mood, But Nature now begins her rest From whence she will waken with new-found zest As the chafigeful days ahead all swing Toward the voluptuous beauty of Spring.

At Teast hat is the opinion of pne reporter. The brief was distinguished by being a well-rounded and clearly, though thoroughly, stated pre- sentation of management's side of the labor picture, As a key document on manage- ment thinking it probably won't be topped. It covered all of the important points that have been touched on in other management briefs, and in practically all cases it them more strongly. But what appealed to the ob- server even more than this were two further qualities: 1. The brief suggested a com- pletely fresh approach to labor fegislation, and as such showed more fmagination than any other representations. 2. It gave arguments on tradi- tional questions' which provided a necessary new thought in the fields concerned, PROTECT LABOR? On the first point it said sbme- thing which a good many people have been thinking recently but few have had the temerity to pro- ess. This was that to date our labor legislation had been mainly de- signed to shield labor through or- ganization and that the need for tection was gone; that slation should be more directed to protection of the pb lie, the employer and the ploye. This, of course, is straight dy- namite It will breed great resentment throughout labor, The howls will be loud and shrill. And there is little likeli- hood that the proposal will have any early results. But the fact that it has been made is in itself good. There is little question that the trade union movement, as organ- ized at present, is quite far from er. and hat . thrsgn be- ing so it tends to pull the com nity itself away ay democ- racy. yi the same labor committee there has been spokesmen after spokesmen from labor ranks who has shown complete belief that in labor matters the end justifies the means. On matters such as picketing, they have widely accepted that the most important thing was that jobs were at stake, and that this was above any law. The fact would seem to be that there has been so much sym- pathy for labor, and it has been coddled so much, perhaps neces- sarily so, that it has grown to take it=elf beyond the usual so- cial obligations to the community. The C statercent won't cor- rect this overnight but it will start some people thinking--and eventually can lead to correction, this now PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Hard Way Is Only Way To Challenge Individual By REV. D. 0, SOPER, DD Rev. Mr, Soper will conduct the United Church "Mission to the Nation" in the UAWA Hall, Oshawa, starting Sunday, Nov.' 3, and continuing until Sunday, Nov, 10.) I've got the idea that many of you who are outside the Chris- tian Church and indifferent to its faith would have much more re- spect for what we have to say if we put our claims higher and not lower. The queer thing about all of us is that it's the hard things which we think worth do- ing. I had some friends who used to live in Yorkshire and last year they moved to London almost around the corner from us, You know, we saw much more of them when a meeting meant a long train journey than now when it's only a short bus ride. After the grim experiences be- tween the two world wars we now know, or 1 fervently hope that we do, the difference be- tween peace - making and ap- peasement. Peace . making was the hard road along which we could have struggled to happl. ness and freedom, and I believe we would have tackled it if the challenge had been out high enough, Appeasement was the "short bus ride" and in 'our hearts none of us believed the bus worth catching A Christian Gospel that doesn't claim that we can only get to the Kingdom of God the 'hard way" isn't big ewough to grip and to hold people. It may tickle our minds and feelings for the moment, but it leaves us where we were ~- it hasn't the power to lift us out of oursives, It reminds me all too forcibly of the fisherman who spent the day up the river and when he arrived back home at night was asked by his wife, "Have you had a good day?' "Marvellous," he replied. "Did "you catch any fish?" "Well, no, not exactly, but I influenced a great number." The only people who are any use in the building of the King. dom of God are those who have been caught for God, those who are "in the bag', not those who have been taught about God and only "in the mood." You may remember that when Peter was enlisting men to bulld that Kingdom He told Peter that He would make him a fisher of men, Peter caught 3000 in one day -- the first day of Pentecost, Yet the histo the last 1900 years might almost be described as the story of the fish that away. I am sure that one of the greatest reasons for the failure of the church to capture men today is that we are not putting the price high enough. We are not using the power that is generat. ed when the Christian life is of. fered as an all-out commitment of ourselves, The true power of Christianity is In the drastic challenge to "take up the Cross" and that challenge has been answered time and agaid by men and wom- en who would never have re ded to an fe invita. tion to Jo to heaven on easy terms. You've heard the words "Take up the Cross' many times - I wonder whether you've got hold of its meaning. The people who heard Jesus say, "Take up the Cross for that's the only way to my king. dom" they, knew what meant, A man bearing a cross was a man condemned to death, and he was carrying two great pieces of wood to the place where he could be nailed up on them to die, Taking up the cross meant looking death in the face, for it was a man's final act -- there was nothing more that could be demanded of him, He had gone the limit Those are still God's terms for the would-be Christian to look eveli death in the face for Christ's sake and to go to the limit for His Kingdom.
