The two U.S. Navy escort ships, the U.S.S. Whitehall and the U.S.S. Amherst, were -the first to officially use Oshawa Harbor's new 500-foot govern- ment wharf. Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, as a part of its "Pro- mote Oshawa" campaign, in- vited the two. ships to tie up here. Chamber officials took in- to consideration Oshawa's new harbor development when they decided to invite the ships to stop over here.

Both ships are 185 feet in len- gth and have a crew of four per- manently assigned officers and' }31 enlisted personnel. They have facilities for and carry six reservist officers and 60 re- servist recruit enlisted person- nel. The Whitehall's home port is Cleveland, Ohio and the Am- herst's is in Detroit. RETURN HOME Both ships are returning, to their home ports now; after a two-weeks training cruise for the Reservists through the St. Lawrence Seaway. They sailed from their home ports for New- port, Road Island. The ships' commanding offi- cers, both graduates of the U.S. | Naval Academy are career sail- jors. Both are widely travelled jand both said their cruise | through the St. Lawrence Sea- | Way is one of the most beauti- ful cruise spots anywhere in the world. Both ship captains hope to make the same cruise again. Before the ships had been op- en to the public an hour and a half, more than 2,000 persons had crossed the quarter decks. An estimated 2,000 were at the harbor at noon to see them ar- rive.

The ship was named after the cities of Whitehall, located in Ohio, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Montana, and Penn- sylvania. She was built by the Pullman-Standard Car Co. at Chicago, Illinois, and was com- missioned Nov. 1944. After initial shakedown White- hall operated in, the Southwest Pacific until 1946, with Pearl Harbor as her home port. She was one of the many small ships that played a small but important part in bringing World War II to a successful conclusion. From 1946 to 1960, her home port was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In April 1960 her home port was established at Cleveland, Ohio. The Whitehall is under the operational and administrative command of the Commandant, Fourth Naval District.

SHIP'S HISTORIES GIVEN U.S.S. Amherst is a patrol vessel designed for escort and rescue operations. The ship is named for the cities of Am- herst, Ohio, and Amherst, Mas- sachusetts. Amherst participated in the landing on Leyte, P.I., from Oct. 13, 1944 to Nov. 25, 1944. During this period Amherst ser- ved as a screening vessel for the invasion force and upon ar- rival in the invasion area was utilized in the recovery and transport of 317 survivors and casualities, Amherst's next combat par- ticipation was the Luzon assault Jan. 9, 1945, again serving as a screening vessel and providing the faciltiies for the transport of 35 casualties. Amherst then' provided screening services while enroute to Ulithi, where gu to the vessel were effec- ted. Amherst's last wartime en- jgagement was in the Okinawa ; Campaign from March 26, 1945, to June 30, 1945.

Lt. Elpers said (and this was long before the crowd arrived) that Oshawa's reception was definitely the largest the ships have had amywhere along the Great Lakes. He said Oshawa is very fortunate to be located on the beautiful St. Lawrence Seaway. Off duty sailors were taken on tours of the National Stud Farm, Camp Samac for cof- fee, cakes and a swim, Jubilee Pavilion, for a chicken-in-the basket buffet style supper, a brief city tour, a visit to Col. R. S. McLaughlin's Parkwood estate and to the Ontario Regi- ment Headquarters: for late evening refreshments. At Parkwood, Col. McLaugh- lin took groups through his gar- dens and others through his home. At Jubilee Pavilion the sail- ors were entertained by the Lin- colnaires and Hawkettes, groups: of Oshawa _baton-twirl- ers. Assisting civic and Chamber officials with yesterday's Navy visit were members of the Osh- awa Police and Fire Depart ments. Free bus transportation was provided from Simcoe street south and Harbor road to the ships by the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission. District.

Local operators are train- ed for the work where a part- time operator is only required. In large systems a fully quali- fied operator is hired as a rule with again the municipality and the OWRC working closely to- gether. After the term of the con- tract, generally 30 years, the municipality may take over the operation of the project or they may leave it invested in the hands of the OWRC. The speaker was thanked for his address by the president of jthe Orono Chamber of Com. imerce, H. Partner. '
