They indicated that this should be done in conjunction with fed- eral authorities under the Nation- al Housing Act. This would mean an investiga- tion of all municipal areas with a view to their proper develop- ment for the future by profes- sional planners. . Eugene Henry, an internation- ally known development and plan- ning specialist, outlined to the as- sociation how this could be ac- tial studies for such complished.

It is For many years the board has reserved the right to terminate the contract of married women teachers. While the policy was followed at the secondary school level it was never stressed strin- gently at the public school level. Trustee Drynan asked when a public school teacher had been dismissed without a hearing. Chairman S. G. Saywell, a 22. year board veteran, said: 'Never to my knowledge." DISCRIMINATION REMOVED Trustee Brown clarified his reasons advocating change by saying: 'The basic reason for this motion is to re- move the discrimination which] exists in married and single con-| tracts." Dr. Elliott added, "A few women teachers left us and went to Whitby to teach. They gave, as one of their reasons for leaving, the lack of permanent contract." "But let's remember," inter- jected Trustee Drynan, "we have to justify this to a lot of people." Trustee Mrs. M.

The pictures showing some of the most important approaches to painting in our time are group- ed according to the different ideas they express. Since these ideas are in pictorial terms the best way to understand and ap- preciate them is to look at the pictures themselves.

He said that a man is needed who will bring these things to the foreground at the legislature. Mr. Thomas was called on to speak. The first question he brought up was: 'When can we expect another election?' He said, "Frost is cagey." We can expect an election when it is politically expedient." He said Mr. Frost may wait until next fall when the trouble over the Arrow has died down. However, if hs calls an election next month, Oshawa riding CCF is ready. cident. On the problem of unemploy- ment, he stated there are 500, 000 men and women in Canada today. The governs ment is doing nothing about it. There should be men in the legis. lature who understand the probe lem, he said. ; Mr. Frost had asked that seven Arrows be completed.

Mrs. E. Reid, the tenant, testi- fied that the pipes had been frozen, and that there had been no water in the house since they froze. She added that she had to get water from a neighbor. Chinn argued that he had thaw- ed the pipes with a blowtorch, and that the water ran freely by the time he had finished.

President D. H. Howe of the Oshawa branch of the Canadian Red Cross told Thursday's meet- ing of the branch that since Oc- tober, when the Red Cross took over the blood bank in Oshawa, 788 pints of blood have been used. Only 438 pints have been collected, he said. "The blood bank is going down," he said. "We now have 189 donors who have agreed to give blood. We should have 300 at least. I would ask the members to contact everyone they know, and ask them to give blood. The next blood-bank clinic in Oshawa will be held in March. A motion was passed giving Robert Stourd, chairman of the blood donor committee, power to |add to his committee, in an at- |tempt to increase the already in- [tensive campaign to find more {donors in the area. |PLAN CERTIFICATES | On a suggestion by Paul Ken- nedy, the branch agreed to pre- sent certificates to more than 40 persons who have passed the Red Cross first aid and home nursing examinations at a special meet- ing in St. George's Church, April 23. The meeting will be held at 9 p.m. and will be pre- ceded by a regular business meeting of the branch. Board Stresses Blood Donor Need Mr. Kennedy told the meeting that 22 Oshawa Boy Scouts are at present taking the intermediate first aid course, which they will complete sometime next month. During the meeting, President Donald Howe presented a first. aid certificate to John Mungav- en. The president noted that Mr. Mungaven had attained an aver- age of 89 per cent in his exam- ination, Mr. Mungaven, the presi- dent said, was presented with his certificate at this meeting since he will soon be leaving Oshawa. Following a brief discussion on the amount of paperwork involv- ed in the operation of the branch, and particularly in connection with the blood bank, a motion was p d that the president set up a small committee to investi- gate the possibility of hiring a full-time secretary.
