2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, June 26, 1962 | GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN POLICE ASSOCIATION WILL MEET HERE THIS YEAR Special memo to all criminals: If you want to avoid some of the top brass from Canada's police world (some from across the border, also) stay out of Oshawa next September 4th to 7th inclusive. The 30th annual convention of the Police Association of Ontario will be held here on those dates under the auspices of the Oshawa Police Association. It should be quite a show, according to President Fred J. Dionne of the OPA and Jon Jenkins, his convention chair- man (last year's convention was held in Montreal). Best estimafe is that fhere will be more than 300 PAO delegates and other visitors on hand, some from distant Can- adian and U.S. points. The pow-wow will take the form of a series of dinner- meetings, lectures and special demonstrations (including a talk by a woman officer from the Toronto Police Force). "A varied social program has been arranged. The OPA is to be commended for bringing this conven- tion to Oshawa; not only will it help publicize the mame of our fair city far and wide, it will add greatly to the prestige of the OPA, which has done a bang-up job of organization thus far. EX-OSHAWA MAN TOP NATO SHOT A 26-year-old pilot from Oshawa (who once atiended OCVI) is the sharpest shot in NATO today. He is Flying Officer Charles. Winegarden of the RCAF. He won the Prince Barn- hard Plaque last week in Leeuwarden, The Nether- lands -- the title is awarded annually to the top scorer in the NATO Guynemer Trophy air to air gunnery competition. It was made after almost two weeks of aerial! marksmanship be- tween Canada, Norway, Ger- many, The Netherlands, Bel- gium and the United King- dom.

FO Winegarden had an individual score of 454 points, 14 points more than the top marksman last year and 27 more than his nearest competitor this year. He is a member of 441 Silver Fox Squadron based at no. 1 RCAF Fighter Wing, Marville, France. He received his trophy from His Highness Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. The Canadian sharp-shooter is the son of Mrs. Charles | Winegarden of Ottawa. He was born in Niagara Falls and ed- | ucated in Trenton and Oshawa. He is married to the former Joan M. O'Reilly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. O'Reilly, 212 Conant street.. They have three boys. Mrs. B. F. O'Reilly has not seen her daughter Joan for three years, but they will hold a big reunion in Oshawa July 31 when the sharp-shooter and his family come here for a visit. | FO WINEGARDEN --t | WELFARE OFFICERS NAME CHESEBROUGH SECOND VP | The 1963 convention of the Ontario Welfare Officers' Association will be held in Oshawa (about June 15). The announcement was made recently at the OWOA convention in Timmins. Herb Chesebrough, Oshawa City welfare ad- ministrator, extended the invitation on behalf of Mayor Christine Thomas and the Oshawa C of C. Mr. Chesebrough was also elected vice-president of the association (at the Timmins meet), attegded by 280 delegates. He has been city welfare administrator here since 1953. He is Oshawa-born. He was previously a newspaperman. He was associated with the Unemployment Insurance Commission here at one time. | | ABANDONED REFRIGERATORS GRAVE MENACE | City Council has acted with promptness and dispatch on the abandoned refrigerators issue. Henceforth, persons keeping unused refrigerators, freez- ~ ers, automatic washers and dryers in places "'accessible to any child" without having doors, lids or locking devices removed are liable to a maximum fine of $300. This may not be a cure-all remedy for the increasing incidence of refrigerator deaths in the ranks of young chil- dren across North America, but it is a big step forward Ansofar as this community is concerned. Alderman Hayward Murdoch admitted that the new bylaw had some legal loopholes in it, but stressed that it was intend- ed as a deterrent; also it would help to call attention to the 'gravity of the situation and perhaps caution people that they should be more cautious. ! Oshawa citizens like Michael Rudka should be overjoyed jby the new bylaw -- he has been campaigning since 1953 jfor its passage. ,MAJOR MARSLAND RANKIN TRANSFERRED TO B.C. Major Marsland Rankin, commanding officer of the Salvation Army Citadel Corps on Simcoe street south, will leave here June 28 (after four years' residence) to take up 'his new post in Victoria, B.C. He was padre of Branch 42, the Canadian Corps. . . . Thomas McLaughlin, former City 'industrial commissioner, was a visitor here last week. He |now resides in Toronto. . . . Tom Van Dusen, executive as- (sistant to the Hon, Michael Starr, was an unsuccessful PC :candidate in Gatineau riding (near Ottawa) in the recent election, He had a close run of it, campaigned. extensively, , even used an antiquated train on some of his whistle-stop tours. ' ' CHILDREN'S AID PLAN "OPEN HOUSE" WEDNESDAY The Children's Residence of the Children's Aid Society of Oshawa and Ontario County -- at 300 Centre street -- will be a busy place tomorrow night from 7 to 9 p.m. That's when Open House will be held. The public is invited. The CAS wants to change the name of the residence; which is sometimes referred to, unfortunately, as a shelter. The pub- lic is also invited to send in suggestions for a new name. REALTORS PLAN BIG "SALE-0-RAMA" SHOW Members of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board (all 130 of them) are all ready for their big "Sale-O-Rama"' tomorrow -- this will take the form of a panel discussion on sales methods with more than 150 other Ontario realtors par- ticipating . . Have you noticed the extensive sidewalk re- building program under way these days in the area of Wilson road south - Athol street east? These sidewalks are of re- cent vintage -- 1952-55 era -- but the repair job will be costly in labor and materials. TOWN PLANNING REVERSE TRADITION TROIS RIVIERES, Que.| AUCKLAND, N..

Relations have been strained by two developments: 1, Last year the BBG issued a policy statement favoring "cross - programming" be- tween the affiliates of the CBC and the privately-owned CTV television networks. So vigorous were the CBC protests, that the governors never followed up their statement with a regula- tion to allow such a practice. 2. Last month, after ponder. ing four months, the BBG rec- jommended government denial of a private application to set up a second French-language television station in Quebec City, and at the same time re- served -- until a subsequent hearing--a competing CBC bid. TWO: RESIGN The second incident brought the resignations of two of the 15 BBG members--Dr. Eugene Forsey of the Canadian Labor Congress, and Prof. Guy Hudon of Laval University. Both ob- jected to the board's decision not to recommend that the li- cence be granted to the CBC. CBC officials said they were puzzled over the need for an- other hearing. They noted that the cabinet already had ap- proved the necessary CBC spending for the Quebec City outlet, subject to BBG appro- val. They recalled earlier legal advice that the CBC might not need a BBG recommendation. TO PAY FOR HOME | IMPROVEMENTS? Check the ads. This symbol identifies dealers who offer the best financ- ing.
