WOODS ~ Board Names | | Principal At last night's meeting of the Oshawa Board of Education, Girl Owes Life To Blood Donor Valentine's Day this year was a day of laughter and gaiety for one 11-year-old Oshawa girl, as she cheerfully handed cards to her family. She had what ap- peared to be a head cold a few days previously, but she bounced back with the exuber- ance of youth, and with the blind trust of those of tender years, was this day attacking life as though that day would be her last. It veyy nearly was. The next day doctors were battling to save the child's life -- she had meningitis. Rushed to Oshawa General Hospital with a 105 degree temperature, the delirious child was treated in rapid succession with every drug and technique that medical iscience had to offer. It was {touch and go. A blood transfu- |sion was called for; a donor's blood flowed through the young girl's veins. The girl's parents and seven- year-old sister, had all had op- erations in which blood was giv- (en. They knew blood had helped {save their lives. Plasma cannot be manufactured. It literally comes from the heart; from people who realise that the life lit saves may be their own. i Ce is YA Ge SPO The Oshavon Snes ECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1 961 ing, Today, this east Oshawa fam-| ily is re-united.

The accused told the court he had taken 11 *'222" tablets, a sleeping pill and two large glasses of wine before getting into his car in the night in quegtion, He said he had taken these things in an attempt to kill pain from a bad tooth extraction. Armbruster said he got in his car intending to go and get more tablets. He said he couldn't remember anything of what happened after he sat in the car. Police Constable James Powell said he found the ac- cused in his car, parked in the middle of Chadburn street, with the engine running. He said the accused fell against the police cruiser twice after getting out of his car. Constable Powell said Armbruster told him he had drunk a bottle of wine to kill pain from a tooth extraction. Both the constable and Ser- geant VanAllen testified that the accused, in their opinion, was drunk. Armbruster said he could re- member none of this. He said he didn't knpw where Chadburn street was located. Armbruster was charged under a section of the act which states that the imtoxica- tion may be caused by alcohol a narcotic drug. Defence in this case argues that *'222" tab- lets cannot be considered a nar- bow cotic drug because you can buy them without a prescription. ~ Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck pointed out that 11 tablets, each with a quarter grain of codeine, accumulating in the accused's system would produce the effect of more than one grain of codeine.

Born in Halifax, Mr. Upshaw lived in Toronto for five years before coming to Oshawa in 1958; he joined the Oshawa Jay- cees in September, 1959. For some years Mr. Upshaw was a professional singer, touring the United States and Canada. He has turned down offers to sing with the Mills Brothers and the Deep River Boys. His wife, Rose Marie, is an active mem- ber .of the Oshawa Jaycettes. President-elect Upshaw's pro- gram for the club is two-fold; bigger and better community betterment projects; by which he hopes to attract new club members. He stresses that club membership is open to all young men between 18 and 35 years of age, no matter what their oc- cupational background. Mr. Upshaw feels the club needs more members if it is to be of the utmost value to the community. Also that there are many young men who need the "training for leadership" guid- ance in their lives. In short, they need the Oshawa Junior Cham- ber of Commerce.

He stressed also that cadets can help themselves to a marked degree if they do a good deal of reading. In this regard he suggested the boys should read news papers and particularly the edi- torial pages as it would give them new ideas and a com- mand of new words. The cadets would also be well advised to join a library and read some- thing in addition to what is re. quired for their school work. By so doing they would become bet. ter conversationalists and be better citizens. Choir Enjoys Bowling Party A social event of some sig- nificance to the choir of Holy Trinity Church was thoroughly enjoyed recently.
