Three hundred and twenty-four Rotarians from 44 clubs in many sections of On- tario as well as Vancouver, St. Johns, Newfoundland and Roch- ester, N.Y., registered and took full advantage of the program to promote Rotary ideals and renew old friendships. From early morning, when the first group of golfers regis- tered at the Oshawa Gold Club until the last straggler left Hotel Genosha following the closing dinner, the day was replete with events which won unstinting words of praise for Chairman Ken Crone and the members of his Friendship Day Committee, 118 PLAY GOLF In all 118 Oshawa and visit- ing Rotarians took part in the golf tournament; while almost 20 others took part in the doubles tournament at the Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club. Other visitors relaxed with a tour of the parts warehouse at General Motors, the Houdaille Indus- tries Limited plant and the Darlington Provincial Park. During the late afternoon the Rotarians gathered at Park- wood for a reception and the opportunity to tour the beauti- ful estate. The visitors were re- ceived by Honorary Rotarian R. §.

Action Is Planned On Washrooms A public washrooms commit- tee was named by Mayor Chris-| tine Thomas Monday night as the Oshawa and District Labor Council got some positive action after two years of urging. Before, the question has always been shunted forward to the next year's budget discus- sions and then quietly shelved with the excuse -- "we haven't got the money this year." Now a three-man committee composed of Alderman Cephas Gay, Walter Lane and Albert Walker will plans, sites and finances, pre- paratory to submitting a figure for next year's budget. It was Ald. Lane's idea that Mayor Thomas set up a com- mittee of three. Added a perturbed Ald. Gay: "I'm not one to oppose wash rooms, but this thing has been study proposals, | I was on council before, I work- ed on various committees to get something done. We have to take this thing by the horns." Ald. Finley Dafoe wanted to send the matter to property committee for study. Observed Ald. Gay: "You will get faster action with a special committee than with the prop- erty committee." Ald. Walker, who is property committee chairman: "I resent that remark; the property com- mittee has never had a chance to deal with this." Ald. Gay, full of diplomacy: "I just meant that the property committee is overworked." Ald. Walker (somewhat molli- fied): "That may be very true." And he added: "We certainly should get some action from THIS committee. Offered Ald. Lane: "Let's |kicked around for years. When meet right after council."
