Maloney, QC, MP, will be the guest speaker tomorrow noon in the Hotel Genosha at the inaugural ineeting of the newly-formed Catholic Luncheon Club of Oshawa. His subject will be "Communism"'. The inaugural committee in charge of ar- rangements includes Ernest Marks, QC, Robert Nicol, Lleyd Bolahood, Dr. Simon McGrail and Terrence V. Kelly. Mr. Maloney is a for- mer Parliamentary Assistant to Labor Minister Michael Starr. He is a Federal mem- ber for Parkdale riding, To- roto, and is famous for his criminal court work. He at- tracted wide publicity for his jpair of hands defying the pro- \gress of age. Some. of the residents of this old-age home feel quite con- tent to sit down and watch the sometimes bustling activity in the corridors. There are others that cannot sit still. "IT couldn't stand to sit still jall day and think about my- self," said Mrs. D. Thomas,| who spends most of her time jin the sewing room. "This gives me something to do, and I am quite happy!"

The motion to ask the city for this amount was carried Tues- day evening-after some discus- sion as to che advisability of such a move. One or two of the members pointed out the League had been formed expressly to examine var.ous safety projects and to look for sponsors who would underwrite them; but not to administer them themselves. BASIC FUNCTION Ronald Wiison, representative of the Kinsinen Club said the basic function of the league was to encourage service clubs and other organizations to adminis- ter safety projects. He pointed out that the Kinsmen Club had spent some $2,000 on' safety pro- grams in the city. The club had New Minister Is Inducted very large congregation witressed the induction of Rev. L.

George Carroll, min- ister of the Byng Avenue Pentecostal Church, who is the preacher at the service of the Week of Prayer being held this evening in the Free Methodist Church, Erie street. His theme is "When Pesonal Faith Is Challenged", GM SALES SET RECORD Sales of General Motors passenger cars and trucks during the final three months of 1961 set an all- time high for a year's fourth quarter. Retail sales of 55,- 807 vehicles in the period represented an increase of 56 per cent over the final quarter of 1960. Sales in November 1961, were at a record high for the month, but December saies declined slighfly to 15,- 454 units from 17,108 in the previous December because of a strike at the company's Oshawa and Windsor plants. Sales figures for the final 10 days of December, however, were 4 per cent higher than in the corresponding period of 1960. Total retail sales of new GM cars and trueks in Can- ada during the 1961 calendar year totalled 227,432. eco ESI ilkey Is Re-elected Labor Council Head | Clifford Pilkey, a Local 222,| |United Automobile Workers, | CLC, delegate to Oshawa and| District Labor Council and} council president, was returned | to his office for a third term by acclamation Tuesday night. | Thomas Edwards, a Local 494 |United Rubber Workers of Am- jerica, CLC, delegate was inamed ODLC first vice- |president again by acclamation.

William Rutherford and Mal- colm Smith will form the reso- lutions committee. YEAR OF STRUGGLE President Pilkey told the dele- gates that during the past years and in particular 1961, organized labor has had a terrific struggle. "That struggle," he said, "'is still not over. We just have to look. to Toronto to the Royal York Hotel where the govern- ment and big business have combined to take on labor. "Getting closer to home, Local 880, Teamsters and R. D. Wer- ner Company workers are struggling with the companies, I am confident these struggles will be won. But, even during the UAW's short strike against General Motors of Canada, the union was faced with anti-labor legislation and conciliation pro- cedures not designed to help ms ad man," Mr. Pilkey said. (MUCH TO BE DONE He cautioned the delegates there is a tremendous amount of work to be done to form a riding association and elect a political party that will fight the labor legislation and get something for labor. se "Not only will we be faced with a federal election in 1962, |but we will also be faced with municipal elections and there should be changes made to elect people who will do their jobs as members of municipal coun- cils in the interests of the com- munity and the people. This labor council must again make its mark and do the jobs that are necessary in the com- munity,"" Mr, Pilkey said. Want Oshawa Men Given Preference Frederick Beckstead, Building Trades union business repre- sentative and second vice-presi- dent of Oshawa and District Labor Council, Tuesday night defended Labor Minister Michael Starr, but severely criticized Ontario Marine and \Dredging Company, the com- pany awarded a $500,000 con- tract for the Oshawa Harbor development project. Mr. Beckstead complained to the Labor Council that Ontario Marine and Dredging is "'strict- ly a non-union company and has non-union labor working at jthe harbor."

Ross Souch, of the accounting department, was awarded $5,000 for an idea which improved accounting procedures, and Clare Slemmon also was award- ed $9,000 for a suggestion which improved parts department pro- cedure. | However, he, said, his com- jplaint is that only five Oshawa junemployed workers were given jjobs on the harbor project. In jall, 49 laborers were hired, |some from as far away as Kirk- jland Lake. | At the end of December, Mr. Beckstead said, there were 4,611 unemployed in Oshawa, 3,115 of whom were male work- ers. | "Although I would like to see 'area unemployed," he said. |MINISTER CONTACTED | The building trades union) business representative con-| jtinued that he contacted Hon.| mitments to him over the proj- ect and the labor minister ful-| filled his commitments. Mr. Beckstead assured the/ council that Mr. Starr too, was unhappy to learn that only five Oshawa area unemployed were given jobs on this project. According to the business rep-| resentative, Mr. Starr, sent a labor department inspector from Toronto to investigate. The inspector, Mr. - Beckstead| said, furnished a list of the! towns and numbers of un- employed from each town work-! jing on the project. : He added that the labor rates | paid at the project are within| five cents of union rates and!

"Mike Starr," Mr. Beckstead said, '"'was very fair with us jand has lived up to everything he promised. We have to go along with him for his help," he said. The business representative added there is a story going around that if the building trades unions or Oshawa area unemployed set-up picket lines at the project, the workers are going to go after them with baseball bats. He said Ontario Marine and Dredging Company - officials "simply refuse to sit down and talk with us, therefore it will be difficult to get "work for un- employed in this area. of cement-filled tin cans with attached wooden handles.
