2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Moy 31, 170% GOOD EVENING Piss By JACK GEARIN FOUR BOER WAR VETS OTTAWA - BOUND The Boer War always seems like some great historic event of the dim-remembered past, some nostalgic relic that belonged to a generation long since departed from this world. Too often are we inclined to forget that some of the gallant survivors of this con- flict are still in our midst, are remarkably alert in the late evening of life. Such a veteran is Arthur Hatch, a retired Pickering Township farmer, who now lives at 620A Richmond street east. Mr. Hatch (in his early 80's) turned up at the office the other day to announce a most important event -- the 60th anniversary of the peace signing for the South African War at Vereening, Johannesburgh, May 31, 1902, which is to be ob- e served in Ottawa today. Mr. Hatch is accom- ARTHUR BATCH panied on this pilgrimage by at least three other Oshawa and district veterans from the same war -- Ernest Brooks and Thomas Murphy, of Oshawa, and Arthur Kilpatrick, Bowmanville. Mr. Hatch enlisted October 10, 1899, as a bombardier in the British Imperial Army. He proudly wears the Boer War Veteran's Medal (including five bars -- the Defence of Lady- smith); also, the Mons Star (for the First-World War), TOO MANY DOORS CLOSED TO CANDIDATES, WHY? The reluctance of some of our more influential citizens to open official doors so that Federal election candidates in On- tario riding can be heard more often is disturbing, but let us not despair. ; The general picture is discouraging, but it is not at all hopeless. Three recent announce- ments emphasize the latter point; The Whitby Rotary Club (membership 62) is throwing its doors wide open so that the candidates can appear -- Labor Minister Starr and Liberal Candidate Norman Cafik have already spoken there on separate dates. Their guest speaker Tuesday, June 12, will be Miss Aileen Hall, the NDP candidate; an invitation has also been ex- tended to Allan Alexander Alton, the Socred candidate from Uxbridge. St. Gregory's Young People's Club has also invited all candidates to appear at their Federal political forum a Thursday, June 14, in St. Gregory's Auditorium -- the NORMAN CAFIK Oshawa Jaycees (one of our more civic-minded groups that sponsors the Town Hall Forum here at municipal election time) is assisting the club with the publicity promotion of this all-important event. The St. Gregory's Club is anxious to promote more interest in the election especially in the ranks of young people, but all age-groups will be welcomed June 14, President Peter Ruddy said today. Oshawa's Westmount Kiwanis Club (membership 48) re- cently heard Norman Cafik speak -- invitations have also been extended to Mr. Starr and Miss Hall to appear. The club is primarily concerned with a heavy vote and. is doing all within its power fo encourage this. The Oshawa Builders Association has invited all candi- dates to appear -- following Mr. Starr's recent solo appear- ance before the membership. The above organizations are unique, They are also to be commended for daring to venture bravely where others fear to tread, for giving all candidates an opportunity to be heard. Their efforts to help create a more enlightened electorate in such an important election are in alarming contrast to the indifferent, lackadaisical attitude of so many of their colle- agues in the service club and business world of today. Why have so many Oshawa clubs fallen down so badly in this worthwhile project? Is it because many feel that it is not the duty of such organizations to promote interest in politics at any level? If such is the excuse, it is a lame one and a sad commentary on the political thinking of the day in high places. The Federal election allows a golden opportunity for such organizations to provide a worthwhile public service. So what do the great majority of them do? They turn and look the other way as if no election exists. Why are they afraid to hear all candidates? CLUB LORELEY OPENING A HAPPY AFFAIR The formal opening (last Saturday) of Oshawa's new Club Loreley in the southeast sector was a happy affair. The candle-lit tables and continental music provided the right atmosphere -- the big political wheels were also out in force. The club is only half-completed, but plans call for a second floor within two years -- there are no access roads or sewers yet, but these will be forthcoming (thanks to the new low-rent city housing project nearby). The $60,000 brick building is a tribute to the indomitable drive and spirit of the membership (approximately 125), most of whom provided the voltfiteer labor needed. "Mike" Starr was there. So were Norman Cafik and Aileen Hall and Alderman Walter Branch (who does not always follow the same political party) and Terence V. Kelly and T. D, "Tommy" Thomas and Mayor Christine Thomas. Gottfried von Waldheim, consul-general in Ontario for the Federal Republic of Germany, was also a head-table guest, (Hé said later that there were more than 413,000 people of German extraction in Ontario -- of this number, 128,000 have settled here since thé Second World War; the others are first, second and third generation Germans). The Loréley Club mémbers weré displaying good citizén- ship, were helping to build Canada, said Her Worship, by such projects. Shé also complimented the club for inaugur- ating classes in German for thé children of mémbers, as one of its projects. ('This is a wonderful thing to téach the children their mother tongue," she said. 'This is a heritage we should all strive to maintain -- there is not enough of it today," she said). President Joseph Staeger of the club (spelled "'Loreley" or "Lorelei") briefly explained the name this way: "Loreléy is a 424-foot-high rock in the "River Rhine 'in Germany near Coblenz. The rock is celebrated for its loud echo familiar to passing boat passengérs Who delight in sing- ing alongside it and hearing the loud echo come back. In German legend, Loreley was a blonde siren of ancient times who sat on the rock combing her long tresses and singing so ravishingly that boatmen, enchanted by the music of her voice, Jorgot their marine duties and perished, on the rock."
