PORT PERRY FIRE BRIGADE'S NEW TRUCK Fire Fighters Get New Port Perry's volunteer fire, brigade has a new truck. It took the firefighters more than two months and hundreds of driven miles to decide what they wanted after they had de-| cided on the basic completely Canadian manufactured vehicle.

QUEEN STREET PH. 985-2295 FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS POTTED PLANTS -- AFRICAN VIOLETS } THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, July 31, 1962 § 'Help Offered Drug Victims HAMILTON (CP)--If babies are born deformed, after the mothers' consumption of the drug thalidomide, Ontario's department of welfare wants to help in any way it can, Deputy Minister James S. Band said Monday. The form of help, he indi- cated, would probably be through the Ontario Society for Crippled Children rather than direct financial aid to parents. His comments followed , a | weekend report that Hamilton twin boys had been born crip- pled in January, their mother having taken thalidomide dur- ing her pregnancy. Her lawyer estimated their medical expenses may be as high as $6,000 a year for the next 16 years. The society, Mr. Band said, is one of the best in the world and is organized to take care of children born with deformity from any cause. It receives provincial grants, he said.
