CHURCH STEEPLE IS RAISED parish is an off shoot of Knox Presbyterian Church and came into being in 1950 as a Sunday School. By _ leaps and bounds the parish grew to its present size. Staring this Sunday members of the board and session will visit parish- oners to inform them. of pro- A mark in the progress of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church is made as a giant crane lifts a half ton church steeple to its lofty- position. Minister of the church, Rev D. A. P. Allen hopes to hold the church's first service Christmas day. The new Fletcher Twice Chairman of the Osh- awa Board of Education, in 1949 and 1960, George A. Fletcher today advised the Times that he will again be a candidate for the Board in the forthcoming' election. Mr. Fletcher believes that anyone with experience and genuine interest in education should offer their services even if it means some personal sac- rifice, Board members are not paid for their services, he pointed out, but there are gréat rewards for the whole commun- ity in the achievement of a }good educational standard. Asked if he agreed with a statement this week by former Trustee Bill Werry that full re- ports should: be made and: the Press attend all Board and Standing Committee Meetings, Mr. Fitcher said emphatically, "Let the people know by all means, to the point of record- ing every word spoken as is done in Parliament". "The public would then be able to see for themselves when loud arguments hide poor cases. Trustees would be obliged to do their homework because their to important decisions would be 'on the record'. This would also prevent misrepre- sentation of the facts by any- one inside or outside the Board without the fear of being ex- posed,"' he said. He believes strongly that the human dignity of the profession and that a respect for education should be restored and main- tained in Oshawa. How can you expect our children to have a proper respect for education, he wonders, if there is no respect in the statements and attitudes of their parents, the Press, and even some public figures who make irresponsible and thought- a\less statements about educa- tion.

Church last Sunday saw some 40 men gather in readiness for the Every-Person Visitation in the afternoon. In the regular morning serv- ice these visitors were commis- sioned to go out in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and on behalf of His' church to meet and visit with the people of the congregation. Highlight of the morning serv- ice was the occasion of the burning of the note, after all indebtedness of the congrega- tion on its church property was erased. The congregation re- ceived loans when the church was established here 10 years ago. Then almost exactly seven years ago, when the new Chris- tian Education Centre was be- ing erected, further loans were secured, and the congregation was in debt to the extent of some $50,000. A. W. Rundle, one of he trustees of the congregation, presented the redeemed note to the miniser, Rev. N. T. Holmes, who in turn gave it to two representatives of the for- mer Willing Workers' Group, Mrs. F. Michael and Mrs. R. G. Luke. These latter burned the note as the congregation joined in singing the doxology. Free from encumbrance, the congregation is looking forward to the erection of its new church on this fine property, in the not too distant future. On the 10th anniversary of the congregation, Dec. 2, the congregation will point up this milestone, and will look ahead to the next year's work. Rev. E. C.

This is a problem that has no simple answer, and those who lead the public to think there is an easy; solution are simply not speak- ing the truth.

This we owe our children and the future. If we just shout about 'Costs' without being willing to pay the price of edu- cation in the world today, we shall betry our children. If we try by every means to get the most for our education dollar compared to any other place in the country, we are just being sensible, good citizens, he said. Mr. Fletcher has spent a great part of his life in Oshawa, being' educated here and at Queen's University.

McConaghy, of the East York Club, guest apeaker at this week's lunch- eon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, gave an informa- tive review to the members of the modest but sound success enjoyed through one of the club's fund-raising projects, the penny gum-ball machines. Kiwanian McConaghy, gener- al manager of the Ford Gum and Machine (Canada) Ltd., an organization which has raised nearly $100,000 for welfare work by service clubs, in Ontario, stated that his conmpany profit- sharing plan, with the gumball machines sponsored by the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club in this area, has netted the. club approxi- mately $2,000. in the past five years, The Ford gumball is not a bubble gum, the speaker point- ed out, and its popularity is by no means confined to children. The quality, flavor and other characteristics of the product were reviewed by the speaker, who stressed that his company strives constantly for a clean and attractive appeal to the public, with the vending ma- chines completely insured against theft, property damage, etc., at no expense to the spon- soring service clubs. The ma- chines are serviced regularly and replaced when necessary. Pointing out the value of good locations and the ever-present opportunity of increasing profits by increasing the number of outlets, the speaker stated that most storekeepers and mer- chants are happy to assist Kiwanis or other service clubs in raising money for their community work. Busy Day In Court Ontario Department of High- ways officers put in a busy. day in Oshawa Traffic Court Wed- nesday. Ernest A.. Werry, charged with failing to produce a com- mercial permit after one of his trucks was stopped, had _ his charge dismissed when he put the driver on the stand. Driver Ellis Griffin told the committee with a cheque. Mr. Luke, a pensioner, saved a little every week for three years for this project. His do- nation was 20 per cent more than the average worker is ex- pected to contribute. Mr. Luke The proposed $1,400,000 Osh- awa Civic Auditorium may be a reality next fall. This was a prediction at a meeting last night between the auditorium committee and the Oshawa Minor Hockey Associa- tion. The new centre, which would be utilized for hockey, skating and swimming, was displayed in model form gt the Children's Arena. Terence V. Kelly, vice-chair- man of the Civic Auditorium committee, explained to the group that a seating capacity of 3400, with 600 standing room, was decided upon for economic reasons. He said that after a survey of other Ontario centres, and made the presentation to E.R. S. "Dick"? McLaughlin, chair- man of the auditorium com- mittee. Pictured above, left to right are, Robert E.

"Dick" McLaughlin, chairman of the committee, said people in other centres warned the committee not to build the auditorium too big. Bill Kurelo, chairman of the Children's Arena Commission, added that in arenas in centres with a population of 40,000 or more, the average attendance is 1500. The Oshawa Civic Auditor- ium will be located on Thorn- ton's road, just south of King street. It will have an ice sur- face 85 by 200 feet and a swim- ming pool 75 by 35 feet with six Seeks Po Seeking municipal office for the first time is Allan Dionne, a General Motors em- ployee, who will run for a seat on the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion. Mr. Dionne told The Times he is interested in education as a whole. : "One big question today is why so many children are drop- ping out of school," Mr. Dionne said. "I think it is our respon- sibility to see that all children get a good education and to keep our schools at a level where it is interesting for them." Mr. Dionne also said he is concerned with teachers' sal- aries. "I believe our teachers are not getting sufficient salary. This has to change. Let us not fool ourselves for a minute about taxes because if we want the best then we have to pay for it. But let us get more for our tax dollar." Mr. Dionne said he is not in favor of lower taxes because that is not feasible. But he felt the public should be better in- formed of what is being done by the board of education with taxes. He felt he himself, as a private citizen, was too much in the dark about education fi- nances. sition School Board ALAN DIONNE Born in Oshawa, he is now a stock room clerk in GM's parts and service department, is mar- ried and has two children, age 6 and age 2.
