Need Plan To Succeed Twelve inches of vinyl plastic provided the message for the Oshawa Junior Chamber of Com- merce Monday night. Guest speaker, Karl Nighten- gale, a retired millionaire, told tite Jaycees, through the medium of a record, that the strangest secret in the world is that men simply don't think. He said that one out.of every 100 men who set out in the world, only five make the grade. The rest fall by the wayside, The opposite of courage is not cowardice, as we think, but con- formity. We all conform to our standards of society; the result is that by the time we are 65, very few of us are financially inde pendent |, He said to believe is to suc- ceed; that to succeed is to alter the attitude of the mind.

One of the policemen recorded about 50 telephone calls to the McDonald home in a two-hour period. However, only one caller attempted to place a bet Opychany was convicted in May of keeping a gaming house and was fined $800. A similar charge against the McDonalds was dismissed at that time.

DEVASTATING GRAVITY "The gravity of nuclear war is devastating beyond ordinary comprehension," said Ald. Mur- doch, is He told the "As far as I'm concerned, the only an- | alderman that shelters are useful not so much as i protection from bombs as for preparedness or ar t. It is a very serious matter and ing must be done to make citizens aware that this world is not a bed of roses." Ald. Murdoch added that pre- paredness should be a function of the local government and that civil defence authority should be invested in officials familiar with the system, rather than volun. teers. "The safety of our citizens falls on themselves," he said. "The back bone of our CD pro gram is the support supplied by our local government."
