Leslie Bowers -- General Mo- tors of Canada Limited worker, 1209 Cloverdale street, '"Indus- trial leaders, I guess". Beverly Gibson -- GM cut- ting and scwing department worker, 83 Simcoe street north, "T think they are all white col- lar workers. Possibly the Cham- ber does not discriminate -- but a factory worker would have a hard time getting in. In my opinion, the Chamber of Com- merce is an anti-union organiza- tion." Sharon Mitchell -- waitress, 469 Colborne street east, "I don't know anything about the Chamber vf Commerce -- truth- fully I don't." Alex Simpson 140 Mary street, retired, "That's a good question. But I think it's a busi- nessmen's association. I don't) think the Chamber of Com- merce has anything to do with the municipal government." Mrs. Jeanette Bussanich -- Housewife, 670 Perry crescent, "I think the chamber of Com- merce should represent the business community more so than just the average laborer.

However, I don't know very much about it." Jack Pendergest -- PUC bus driver, 189 Bloor street east, "Mostly business and profes- sional people belong to the Chamber of Commerce as I un- derstand it. At least that's the way it is in this town -- I don't know anything about other municipalities." Mrs. Viola Matchett -- super- market cashier, 350 -- Leslie street, "I figure anybody can belong to the Chamber of Com- merce. You don't have to have money to belong to it -- ati) least I don't think so." Douglas Turner -- GM work-| er, 172 Bruce street, "To tell you the truth, I've never read anything about the Chamber of Commerce, so I don't know who belongs to it."

The units taking part will be the combined ship's companies of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps '"Drake", com- manded by Sub. Lt. W. Holding, and the Sea Rangers from SRS Crusader, commanded by Skip- per Edith Thompson. Accom- panying the various units will be the "'Drake'" Band and color party. The entire parade will be under the command of Lt. E. Kunkle, officer commanding RCSCC Drake. Beginning with a parade from the Armories, the cadets and Rangers will parade down Sim- coe street at 8 p.m. to 'take their positions in front of the bandshell for the ¢eremony of "Morning Divisions." This ceremony takes place on all ships of the Royal Canadian Navy, both at sea and in port as well as on all shore estab- lishments, prior to the activi- ties of the day commencing. It is also carried out prior to parades held in the evening by members of the Royal Canadian Navy (Reserve) and all affili- ated cadet units. On board ship this takes ( place on a deck on the after (rear) part of the ship and on | the parade deck, or square of the land base. The ratings are formed up by their divisional petty offi- cers, inspected, and turned over to the divisional officer who, after inspecting them, reports to his superior, the ex- ecutive officer or the ship's second in command. When the divisions have been inspected and reported, a messenger in- forms the captain that the ship's company is ready for divisions. Following prayers, colors are raised to the top of the mast and secured. Due to the length of the ceremony prayers will be de- leted as well as the pre-parade inspection and report. However, the remainder of the ceremony will be complete, to the sound- ing of the General Salute by the "Drake" Band to the sound- lic School. ing of the Ship's Bell.

Thursday -- evening the combined groups together with the band of the Ontario Regiment, promise to make this display of lowering the colors one of the most impres- sive to take place at the band- shell for sometime. Taking the place of the eve- ning prayers will be the play- ing of the hymn, "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, is Ended" by the Ontario Regiment Band. Following this will be the sounding of the call "Sunset," by RCSCC Drake Band. The ceremony ends with the play- ing of The Queen by the On- tario Regiment Band. - Incidentally, the colors of RCSCC Drake will be paraded for the first time on the streets of Oshawa since their presen- tation to the corps at the an-|C nual inspection last May.

Stole Drugs Concurrent Term Given A man sentenced in Toronto court to three years in the Kingston penitentiary for sell- ing drugs he stole from the Oshawa Clinic, was given a three year concurrent sentence on a charge of break, enter and theft in Oshawa Magis- trate's Court Friday. Crown Attorney Bruce Af- fleck read the statement of the accused, Eric Edward McRae, 24, 68 Shuter street, Toronto. The statement said that about 10.30 p.m. June 11, McRae and another person entered the clin- ic through a window opened with a wrecking bar. Raymond Wildblood, clinic administrator, told the court that offices and drawers had been ransacked and a quantity of drugs, including narcotics and tranquilizers had been stolen. Mr. Wildblood said a typewriter had also been taken. Total value of the stolen goods MORE APPEARANCES Ends In Despite indications that the Darlington Park monster, Dar- ing, would be vegetarian, there is some evidence that it may like meat, after. all. A man called The Oshawa Times Friday and asked to speak to the Monster Editor. When his call was put through he started to say that he had seen the monster the previous afternoon. Then, a growl was heard on the other end of the line, and a click indicated the connection had been broken. The conversation went some. what like this: "Is that the monster editor? I, ah, I think yesterday after- noon, eh, I saw. .. ..grrir .,. (ia The astonished editor had to hang up, even before he could learn the man's name. WHAT HAPPENED? What happened? Did Darling cut the line with sharp teeth? was estimated at $177. The Crown told the court that McRae was found selling the stolen drugs in Toronto and was sentenced to three years in the Kingston penitentiary on June 27.

Telephone Call | Growl Did it merely stick its mon- strous head through the win- dow and scare the man? Or, and we hate to think of it, did it attack the man, No reports have been re ceived from the police or other- wise of any incident suggest. ing violence from Darling. No- body was reported missing. Perhaps the incident had nothing to do with the mom ster. So far there have been no indications that Darling recent- ly left what would seem its natural element, the lake. FOOTPRINTS RECALLED. However, a woman called the Monster Editor Friday and said her husband came home from a fishing trip about five years ago, very pale of face. In the marsh, south of Ajax, he had come across very large foot-prints in the mud which, he felt, must have been made by a very large animal. Be- tween the tracks was a mark which he thought might indi- cate the creature had a tail that dragged. Another caller, a Lake Vista area resident, said in recent weeks she spotted something in Lake Ontario in front of her yhome. It was, she said, about a quarter of a mile from shore. She was sure it was not a log as it was moving out into the lake at a fairly rapid speed. < She said it disappeared and re- appeared at intervals, so it could not have been a /loating log. ' SEE DARK OBJECT Two students, spending the day at Darlington Park Thurs- day, told the Monster Editor they saw a dark object about six feet long shoot out of the water and back in again. It was about 150 yards from shore and they could not iden- . tify it. The last two reports would suggest a creature that often swims near the surface of the water, For any reports of sightings that might be connected with Darling, call the shawa vote in the general elections June 18.
