A basic objective of 400 bottles of blood tomorrow "now be- comes an absolute necessity if we are to make certain that every patient at the Oshawa General Hospital whose life de- pends on a blood transfusion wil! get that blood," declared Robert H. Stroud, chairman of the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic Committee. Mr. Stroud pointed out that the clinic will be open for six hours (1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m.) and that this means an average of 67 donors an hour will need to stream through the clinic, a rate of more than one a minute. "Special staff have been as- signed to this month's session in order to assure volunteer donors of fast, safe and painless serv- ice involving a minimum of time spent at the clinic which will be held in Saint Gregory's Auditorium on Simcoe street north," Mr. Stroud said. Scores of volunteer workers have been working against time and the seasonal holiday spirit that seems to encourage a rath. er general attitude of indiffer- ence toward the importance of this vital community health pro- ject. Far below normal levels of pre-clinic registrations appear to suggest that Oshawa residents couldn't care less whether there is enough blood in the blood sick or injured neighbors.

This was in preparation for the Cour- ageous Ministers District As- sembly this weekend, Aug. 3 to! 5. When asked about this clean-| up, Thomas Jones, minister and convention manager, ex- plained: "It is a matter o transforming this house battle into a house of prayer. This will be our giant Kingdom Hall for the weekend so we want it to reflect the princi- ples of our belief. Cleanliness, both moral and physical, is something upon which we place) utmost emphasis, so the 'oper- ation house-clean' has become traditional with our assemblies and is no reflection on the cus- tomary care given the sta- dium." Bringing their own buckets, mops and soap, the Witness workers streamed into the arena at 7.30 p.m. Business men, secretaries, housewives, and a surprising number of teenagers quickly fell to work. Carefully organized, as is stan- dard with all Witness activi. fies, the workers moved with a minimum of confusion, sweep- ing, carrying out trash, and washing every seat in the sta- dium with detergent "Since Hamilton is the host city," Mr. Jones said, "our local representatives feel a duty to have everything ready for the visiting delegates.

The board rejected a recom meéndation by a committee tha scinding of a motion passed Commercial Caterers. A question from Trustee Mrs. Margaret Shaw brought to light the firm had not been informed that it would get the contract. Why not, Trustee Mrs. Shaw wanted to know. Referring to the records, J, R. Backus, board administrator, said the motion had carried the condition that the chairman of the investigating committee be satisfied that employees affect- ed by the contract would be taken care of. IMPROPERLY HELD UP Trustee George K. Drynan agreed with Mrs. Shaw that the issue had been "improperly held up". When voting on the mo- tion, he said, he had not felt it was meant to depend on a few employees. "The question is not whether we like the contract or not, but how these employees can be compensated," he said. The investigating committee consisted of Trustee E, A. Bas- sett, Trustee Russell J. Murphy and H, E. Murphy, principal of OCCI. It had come to the con. clusion that the board should try to keep the cafeterias under | Motorcycle Drivers Hurt James Lyle Smith, 123 Lara- cor avenue, suffered a sprained ankle and a cut left hand and elbow when the motorcycle he was driving collided with a truck early Tuesday afternoon. Smith was proceeding east on King street west and a vehicle driven by Robert Bernard Sage, 487 Bloor street east, was at- tempting a left turn into a drive- way from westbound lane of King street near Park road, when the collision occurred. Damage was estimated at $100 to the motorcycle and $40 to the truck. Constable Tom Homes investigated. A Downsview motorcyclist sustained a fractured wrist in a rearend collision at Simcoe street north and Adelaide ave- nue late Monday night. Em- manuel Joseph McKenna, 24 Seeley drive, Downsview, was treated at the Oshawa General Hospital and later relased. McKenna was northbound on Simcoe street as was a car driven by his friend, Wil- liam Wilfred Damant, 256 Annis Street, when the collision oc- curred at the Simcoe - Adelaide stop lights. Damage was esti- mated at $325. Constable Charles W. Gallogley investigat- ed.

Trustee Drynan pointed out that the committee's recom. mendation went beyond what had been previously discussed. To rescind the motion, he felt, would set a dangerous prece- dent. Trustee Bassett, although he said his heart wasn't in it, ex- pressed his willingness to go a- long with the board and have the contract signed and work out a suitable compensation for the affected employees when the details of their contract with Commercial Caterers be- come available. TOUCHY QUESTION Another matter dealt with by the board caused some sparks to fly across the board room. A report of the appointments committee recommended the Chairman Robert Stroud, speak- previously, This person the its wing, make a few changes The reason for having a pri- »|vate firm run the cafeterias at OCVI and OCCI was that these two had been losing money for some time. Only the one at the Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate In- stitute had been making a However, it appeared that for- board employees who would continue to work in the cafeteria at OCCI under the new management would suffer a set- ack in salary. At least one em- le board for nearly 10 years, would| a receive $45 a week, instead of ing as a committee member, said the committee had not been in total agreement, He called the matter a "touchy situation", involving a highly qualified per- son, who had been interviewed by both the board and the com- mittee. When five of the nine trustees present voted for approval of the recommendation, and some against, Trustee Mrs. Shaw wanted to know why Trustees Mrs. C. C. Lee and 8. J. Say- well were among those abstain- . (Both trustees are on the --_-- committee.) Why 't they, as appointed com- mittee members, come up with recommendation, instead of "sitting on it", she wondered. OUT OF ORDER Trustee Drynan interrupted Mrs. Shaw, saying she was out of order, and that this should not be discussed without a mo- tion on the floor. "I am going to keep talking, regardless of Mr. Drynan, for once," Trustee Mrs. Shaw snap- ped, and said she was only ask- ing a question. When Trustee Drynan con- tinued to interrupt Mrs. Shaw, urging her "illegitimate speech" was improper, she said, obvious- ly irritated, she found his in- terruptions rude. In the meantime, Trustee Mrs. Lee, in answer to Mrs, Shaw's question, quietly pointed out she felt any trustee was free to vote as he or she wished. A motion by Trustee Drynan to go on with business was ap- proved and put an end to the wrangle. Dutch Elm Disease The best educated guess the lands and forests department can make about the Dutch elm disease is that elms in Ontario will be severely re- duced in number, but enough trees will survive to perpetu- ate the species. This spring a row of elms along the west side of Mc- Millan drive, opposite the Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club were cut down. Other large trees on King street east are showing signs they have also contracted the disease. Writing in this week's de- partment bulletin Forester J. A. Waddell says the Elm tree, one of the most valued and majestic shade trees, is under severe attack from both insects and disease. Mr. Waddell notes. that already thousands of these trees across the province have been destroyed, He said few tree diseases have received more wide - spread attention both in Europe ane North America than the Dutch elm disease. Efforts have been made to control the spread of the dis- ease by breeding resistant elms, felling infected trees and by injecting fungicides into the tree itself. The disease, which spread into Ontario frem Quebec, at- tacks large and small trees, killing many within the first year. The first. external symp- toms of the.dis¢ase are a rapid ~w | Cuts Wide Swath wilting. and browning in July or August of the leaves on one or more limbs in the upper por- tion of the tree. These leaves, shrivelled and brittle, are usual- ly shed prematurely Positive identification of the disease cannot be made in the field since there are two other diseases which exhibit similar symptoms. The disease is caused by a toxin producing fungus, the toxin being carried through the tree by the sap stream eventually killing the branches Two varieties of bark beetles are almost entirely responsible for spread of the disease, These insects breed in dead and dying Elm wood and in- advertently carry the sticky spores of the fungus on their bodies to healthy limbs. While spraying is carried out annually it has proven a cost- ly business. Cutting and burn- ing of all dead Elm trees is recommended as a means of reducing the breeding grounds of the Elm bark beetles. Mr. Waddell said no one can predict with any degree of accuracy what the future holds for Elms in the province. He notes that in Britain, where the disease has been known for 35 years, it is estimated that only 10 to 20 per cent of the Elms have been killed and some trees which appeared to be dying from the disease have made almost complete recoveries. r
