On Conferences Reports were given at the May meeting of the Children's Aid Society for Ontario County and Oshawa by the representa- tives who attended conferences especially for Board members| with children's and local directors and a panel discussion on "The Control of| M ayor|the Practice of Social Work" in connection aid work. Mrs. R. E. Sims, Christine Thomas, C. Morley, D. D. O. Bell and B. Lewis at-| tended a regional conference of| board members from York,| PANEL DISCUSSIONS This meeting was attended by some 36 members and heard | two panel discussions, one deal-| ing with the question "Are Pyb- lic Assistance Rates Adequate", | and the second "The Role of] the Board Member". It was re- ported that both discussions had led to a useful sharing of ideas and that the day had been helpful and interesting. The local society was repre- sented at the annual conference of the Ontario Association of Children's Aid Societies, May 3, 4 and 5 by D. D. O. Bell, B. Lewis and S. Mason. The representatives reported that this conference gave con- sideration to a number of reso- lutions dealing with various as- pects of child welfare work. Among these approved were a resolution asking the extension of the provisions of the Ontario Hospital Plan to cover the care of children in homes for emo- tionally disturbed children; a resolution asking that allowa- ances under the General Wel- fare Assistance Allowances Act be based on family needs as established by the local author- jrty; and a resolution urging the provision of maintenance, where wardship is beyond the age of 18 years. Other sessions of interest were "A Model Board Meeting" especially for staff members, Mr. Lewis, the local direc- tor, reported that school costs pa was expected that fore the end of the school year. He also said that muni- cipal approval had been given for proposed renovations. An item of interest to the board was a report by Mr. Lewis that he had recently been invited to the Ontario Hospital at Whitby where he was presented with a number of stuffed toys made| by the patients of the hospital for children in care of the so-| ciety. The director's statistical re- port showed that there were 389 children in the care of the so- ciety on April 30. Of these, eight were in the residence, 176 in boarding homes, 90 in free homes, 104 in adoption probation homes and 11 in Counselling through the protec- tion department was being given to 123 families involving 416 children and through the un- married parents department to 98 unmarried mothers and 44 putative fathers.

TRAINS AIR CADETS During the month of July, the flying club undertakes the training of air cadets for '"The| Air Cadet League of Canada". {These boys come from the Osh-| awa Squadron, Peterboro, Co- bourg, Parry Sound and To- ronto. Last year 12 of these boys received their private pi- lot's licence. The annual Breakfast Fly-In| has become the highlight of the| year. This event has grown in| opularity each year.

The principal explained that a little known fact is that the ladies college is affiliated with the University of Toronto] through Victoria College. The general opinion of the discussion seemed to be that if a University is to be establish- ed in Oshawa, the best proce- dure would be to establish a number of extension courses un- der a central body. The actual teaching could take place in the beginning through one of the secondary schools in the city, at the Ontario Ladies College | and at the Oshawa Missionary | College.

William Hart, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, suggested that anyone who might be interested in taking a university extension course should write or call the Cham- ber office. He suggested they should leave their name, ad- dress, telephone number and suggest the course desired. The telephone number of the office is RA 8-1683. If the education committee can establish the need for ex- tension courses in Oshawa, they will be in a better position to request that courses be provid- ed by the University of Toronto for the people of this district. THE SALESMAN NEVER ARRIVED LAKEFIELD (CP)--A groc- ery store owner has received a card notifying him that a representative of a biscuit and confectionary firm would be visiting him May 13. But George Spence doubts that the caller will arrive. The postcard was dated May 7, 1925, and the May 13 visit was supposed to be that year. The card was found this week by workmen doing ren- ovations at the post office in this village about 10 miles northeast of Peterborough. It was lodged in the side of a partition. It was signed by H. B. Kes- lick and dated Cannington, about 40 miles west of here. Here is a perfect example of what an hour and a half and a little patience can do for a trout fisherman in Bow- manville.

Cecil Bint, chairman of the board of management, accept- ed the chairs on behalf of the The 1961 season of the Henry House Museum will start May 20 when Her Worship Mayor Christine Thomas will officially open Oshawa's popular tourist attraction for the summer. Foremost among the many valuable new exhibits will be a rare and famous pianoforte, the only one of its kind in Canada. This 180-year-old instrument was originally built for George Astor, eldest brother of John Jacob Astor 1, and is reputed to have been played on by the great Mozart himself. The pianoforte is one of 50 similar instruments brought to the United States from Britain in 1874, of which only three are known still to exist. Of these, one is in the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art in New York City, a second is owned by the Astor Hotel and the third is here in Oshawa's Henry House. It is ex- pected that the Astor pianoforte will be of great interest to the many U.S. tourists who custom- arily visit the museum during the vacation months. SOLID MAHOGANY The pianoforte, which was owned by the late R. N. Johns, well-known Oshawa collector of antique musical instruments, is solid mahogany inlaid with satinwood, rectangular in shape. Instead of foot pedals, the soft and loud tones which gave the instrument its name of piano et forte and distinguished it from the harpsichord, are regulated by a lever on the left side, moved by hand. There are 36 white keys and 25 black and the date of manufacture is 1780. This was the same year that John Broadwood of England Mice Or Birds Cause Of Blaze Fire Chief H. R.

This improvement was univer- sally adopted by piano makers lafter Broadwood's 1783 patent lexpired and thus started the modern trend of manufac- 'ture with foot pedals, since it was in this patent that is found the first mention of the soft and sustaining pedals.

Many new exhibits have also been added to the other period rooms and in some cases a complete change of decor has been achieved to make the 1961 exhibition quite different from thus of unusual interest to col- that of last year. ENQUIRING REPORTER Do you think that a Royal Commission should be institut- ed to investigate syndicate-run gambling in the Province of Ontario? Six people asked this question in Oshawa Wednesday, were unanimous in saying -- YES. The Bluestein beating, the gaming house hearing in Ni- agara Falls, the almost daily police raids on chartered clubs, all these things make for start- {ling reading. Organized gam- its attendant vio- lence, appears to be right on our doorsteps. How long has it been here? What can, and should be done about it? Also, whom should take action? Perhaps a more serious, in- trospective government body such as a Royal Commission shoud analyze the situation. Their findings might be illum- inating. The half-dozen people inter- [viewed in Oshawa took to the {idea almost unconditionally. Wonderful, they said, but get this thing going soon. The moral aspect to the question crept in as it surely must -- but the re- spondents came up with some |interesting answers.

KENNETH BOWSON, RCAF Station, Trenton: "Well, I am certainly in favor of gambling, and I feel that the only reason that gangsters have stepped in and tired to take over is be- cause a more responsible gov- ernment agency was too slow. What we have to realise is that the various western European factions comprising composite Canada have always had gam- bling, and will not adjust easily to inconsiderate legislation against it.
