Ideas Vary On Ideal Vacation Some consider an ideal vaca- tion to be a trip to their own backyards. Others would like to travel within Canada or to for- eign countries. The Oshawa Times man-in-the-street report- er discovered these facts by ask- ing the question: '"'What would you consider the ideal vacation) if you had all the time and) money you needed?" AVE ROSEN, 847 Simcoe) street north, store owner, said, "T would see foreign countries and the conditions people live under in Jands other than our own.

In all 283 children participated while the 35 playgrounds leaders, under. the guidance of Gary Minacs, the playground co-ordinator and Jim Ward, assistant director of recreation, ran the events with. out a hitch. In the morning four entrants from each park tested their skill in handling a bicycle by driving it through such obstacles as two sand pits, a narrow winding path bound by snow fence, over a 10 foot, two by four plank, and several mazes of cans. This event was completed by 11.30. The races were held in the after- noon. TECHNIQUES EXPLAINED Before starting the races a short talk on racing techniques was given by Russ Copeland, Mr. Bicycling of Canada. He in- troduced three riders from cycling clubs in Toronto who rode their bicycles from Toronto to Oshawa. The young men gave a demonstration of spirit riding by making two laps around the half-mile track. The winner, Sam Watson, is a lad of 17 who recently placed fourth in a Canadian race of 100 miles. He did this in a time of four hours and eight minutes.

Plan Five-foot Statue New Collegiate Lawn A five-foot bronze statue is going to adorn the grounds of the McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Stevenson road north. But the decision by the Board of Education to put it here was not unanimous, as Trustee George K. Drynan had hoped. The statue, depicting four human figures, is part of the gift of Col. R. S. McLaughlin to the collegiate and vocational in- stitute that will bear his name. The gift will take the form of landscaping of the grounds and totals $25,000. The sculpture would cost $3,200. TRUSTEE SHAW OBJECTS Trustee Mrs. W. E. Shaw wondered how the board could talk about deleting the propos- ed cinder track for the school, and then spend $3,200 on a sculpture. "We are fooling ourselves," she said. These remarks evoked the ire of Trustee Drynan. "T feel sad," he said, "that this magnificent gift is turned into a political football." Canada-Made Car Shipments High OTTAWA (CP)--Shipments of Canadian-made cars and trucks are running 31.7 per cent ahead of the pace set last year, the bureau of statistics reported today. Factory shipments in the first half of 1962 totalled 285,981 cars and trucks, compared with 217,- He said he felt Col. McLaugh- lin would be anxious to see the statue, aside from the shrubs and trees that would be planted. "If this can't be done unani- mously, it should not be done at all," he said. However, a motion by Trustee S. G. Saywell to have the sculp- ture made was passed with five votes in favor and two against. Voting in favor were Trustees Msgr. P. Coffey, Saywell, Mrs. Cc. D. Lee, B. Armstrong and R, J. Murphy. Opposing the motion were Trustee Mrs. Shaw and Trus..2 Drynan, The board was given the choice of e five-foot statue in bronze or a seven-foot one in lead with a strengthening fac- tor, either for the price of Lawyer Is Charged In Assault ORILLIA (CP)--Lawyer Ger- ald Kelly, 35, charged with two counts of assault, said Thurs- Kelly said he was at the sta- tion to protect the interests of the unidentified BB 213 in the same period last year. | with June shipments rose 28.8 per cent to 53,114 units from 41,230 in the same month last year.

Damage is being estimated to- day and is expcted to reach) the $100,000 mark. | Hardest hit was the 50-acre| farm owned by Walter Kluz and operated by Alfred Kothar. The entire acreage was described by}; Kothar as being 'ripped! Mr. and tattered'. Some farms were protected by : densely wooded areas bordering) ~ on the crops. About 200 acres were hit badly. The storm swept in at about 3 p.m. and had disappeared less than half an hour later. A. N. Brooks said about 10 acres on his farm was "beaten| ° badly". The other 30 acres re- ceived light damage, he added. Effects of the storm were I've sent the family all off to the cottage and I'm just taking) it easy around home. Relax --| that's the ideal way to spend the) holidays." MISS MAYRENE BRANTON, 482 Finucane street, clerk-typist, said if she had all the time and money she needed, she would travel to other countries and participate in every sport. "I'd swim and water-ski in Hawaii, golf in South Africa, and take my skis to Switzerland. I might even bull-fight in Spain. Actual- ly, Pll be spending my holidays spread 'throughout the 33-acre farm of John Hanaka -- not far from the centre of the tobacco area, The most easterly of the 10 farms hit by the storm is owned by Albert Smit. His 70 acres of tobacco -- one of the largest farms -- missed the hail com- pletely. Wind and rain did little damage. The storm caused extensive damage also to the tobacco crops of Sam Warshall, D. Woudstra, Felix Tukendorf, Omar Malfait and Joe Popo- vitch. WELL KNOWN HERE Captain James C.

Metro and Pickering township police ar- rested a Pickering woman on a charge of attempting to procure an abortion. 4/ ENTERED ROOM Kelly said he forced his .way into the room where the woman was being questioned and told her not to say anything until he had talked with her. He said '\she wanted to speak to him but '|was restrained by a policeman. "At that time I was forcibly removed by Sgt. Quennell and ended up on my back on the floor." After another struggle with the sergeant, he said, he entered the room and removed his cli- ent over the objections of an- other policeman. He said Sgt. Quennell then offered to let him interview the woman im the presence of an officer." Kelly said he refused and again demanded to see the woman in private. "It was then that Sgt. Lynn came into the office and charged me with assaulting a police officer." The lawyer has been released on bail penc'sg a preliminary 'hearing of the charges. $3,200. For an extra $400 the statue could be obtained seven feet high, in bronze. Trustee Drynan warned this should be thought out carefully. "I don't want any wise- cracks," he said, When Mrs. Shaw gave the discussion a controversial turn, Trustee Drynan said he was afraid that the issue was get- ting kicked around. "I am afraid this thing will be dragged around in the mire of public discussion," he said, with an eye on the press table. "We want to make sure Col- onel Sam's money is spent so nobody can say it actually is an idea of extravagant board members. SAVING MONEY It was pointed out by several other trustees that the board is saving a considerable amount} because of the gift. Mrs, Shaw was not convinced. "Are we spending this money to the good of the school chil- dren of this city and the tax- payers?" she wondered. Trustee Saywell said he felt the board should accept the gift with grace and reminded the board of all the other things Col. McLaughlin has given the city. He said Col. McLaughlin should be given the opportunity to see his own gift to the school as soon as possible.

The decision broke the im- passe in which the board had found itself because tenders submitted by several contrac- tors were all higher than the board's estimates. Either they had to omit a proposed cinder track or go over the budget. By doing the job under its own direction, the board felt it could be handled more expedi-- ently on a pay-as-you-go basis. PRICES CUT The two lowest bidders were asked some time ago to sub- mit their recommendations for bringing the price within the board's limits, namely $70,000. The original bids were $82,770 and $80,300, respectively. By omitting the cinder track, a Proposed stairway and using JUDGE A. R. WILLMOTT Cobourg Man Named First chantered banks Sept. 1, accord- ing to reliable reports in bank- ing circles. Advice, it is understood, will go out to customers concerned about July 31. One banking source described overdrafts as an "untidy" way of doing business that has been bothering banks for some time- He added: "If a man has a note at the bank, he has a definite liability, bearing a definite rate of inter- est and « definite maturity and he knows where he stands and the bank knows where it stands. GO TOO FAR "With an overdraft, the cus- tomer never knows when it may be cut off and, from the bank's point of view, some customers have a tendency to push the ac- commodation further than it is intended to go." Bank advice, apparently, will be to make definite loan ar- rangements. The timing of the decision is understood to have some rela- tion to present money scarcity in the sense, a banker com- mented, that this is a time to make the best use of all the money available. Some leeway from. the Sept. 1 deadline, it is understood, may be made in cases of cus- tomers who need a little more time to make other arrange- ments. Chief Judge TORONTO (CP)--Judge Ar- thur Roy Wilmott of Cobourg, Thursday was appointed as On- tario's i.:st chief judge of the county and district courts in the province. A joint announcement from Ottawa and Queen's Park said it is the first time Ontario's county and district court sys- tem--which predates Confeder- ation--has had a chief judge. Judge Wilmott was appointed as a county and district court judge July 9, 1959, for the prov- ince as a whole becoming On- tario's first "roving judge." The position of chief judge for the county and district courts was created by an am- endment at the last session of the legislature, following rec- ommendations contained in a report last fall by Eric Silk, assistant deputy attorney-gen- eral. Judge Wilmott's duties in his new post will be partly judicial and partly administrative. He will likely try cases throughout Ontario: and will preside over the annual meetings held by the judges of each district, where problems will be discussed and sitting schedules set for the en- suing 12 months. a different type of sodding these prices were brought down to about $69,000 and $71,500, respectively, including the architect's fees. There always had been con- siderable reluctance on the part of many trustees to leave the cinder track out. Said Trustee George K. Drynan: "The rest of the school is so substantially lower than expected and the track is so badly needed in this city, that I feel we should keep from taking off anything further." The final decision was ar: rived at after the matter was press. APPROVE SUGGESTION basis. When chairman Robert E.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Following the ancient Biblical custom of tithing all their income (giving one-tenth to the church), Seventh-day Advent- ists gave $223,845,402.51 to their church during the last four years. In making his report to the 49th world conference of the church. now meeting in San Francisco's Civic Auditorium, Chester L. Torrey, treasurer of the General Conference of Ad- ventists ,stated that during the past quadrennial period "the funds for our world -work have been the largest. in our his. tory." In addition to tithe, Mr. Tor- rey reported, a total of $64,- 438,652.44 was given in mission offerings, making a grand total of more than $288 million, AID MAN PROJECTS Appropriations from_ head- quarters to the world - wide work of the church during the past four years have amounted to $108,820,930.34 as compared with $84,261,391.11 for the pre- vious four years. In this figure is included financial support for many American projects as well as for 185 other coun- tries. Torrey gave his report be- fore more than 10,000 persons attending the 10-day church bus- iness session being held in Civic Auditorium. A_ total of 1,000 official' delegates repre- sent 196 countries of the world.

This is a Biblical statement refer- ring to the hope of Christian Large Amount Contributed victory and Christ's promised literal return while working for a better world today, say con- ference officials. Seventh-day Adventists stress the eschatological elements of Scripture with their hopeful prophecies of man's ultimate fulfilment in the Christian life. Addresses, discussions, and bus- iness deliberations will be col- ored by what Adventists be. lieve to be the deep significance of their century-old message at the threshhold of a space age.
