A warning to motorists who lan to driver over the New ear's holiday was issued this morning by Oshawa Chief Con- stable Herbert Flintoff. He said drivers who will be drinking in the holiday period should play it safe and leave their cars at home. Last week, before the Christ- mas holiday, Traffic Division Sergeant Norman Smythe is- sued five rules to help drivers stay accident-free over the holi- days. These rules are just as valu- able, if not more so in view of increased celebrations and par-| ties over the New Year's holi- day, Chief Flintoff said this morning. 1. If you plan on indulging over the holiday period -- leave your car at home. 2. Before driving home from a late party -- even if you haven't been drinking -- take a cup of strong coffee, It will help you stay alert . . . and ALIVE. $. You can further combat drowsiness with fresh air from an open window, if you drive along with your car heater on. 4. Go slowly on icy or snow- mal under these conditions. 5.

J e,8 Universities React to OSSTF @,e2 @ Criticism TORONTO (CP)--A number of Ontario universities reacted sharply Friday to criticism by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation at its an- nual convention in Hamilton that universities have failed to provide facilities for qualified students. Dr, Claude Bissell, president of the University of Toronto, said it is not true that universi- are indifferent to the prob- "Between 1955. and 1965, my university will double its enrol- ment to about 20,000 students," he said. "The only legitimate criticism that might be made is that we are expanding too fast." Principal H. H. Kerr of Ryer- son Institute of termed '"'quite untrue" a change that Ryerson turned away 400) students although it had plenty of warning they were coming. . "We didn't dream there "It is our hope that the peo- ple of Oshawa will once again come forth in our time of need," stated Mr. Stroud. "Our biggest problem is having those who make appointments, keep the appointments, and I am sure if these persons realized the im- portance of having enough blood for those in need, we would have a one hundred per cent turnout." OPEN AT 1.30 P.M. The clinic will be held in St. Gregory's Auditorim, Simcoe St. north, and the doors will open at 1:30 p.m. Red Cross officials point out that it takes only 30 minutes to donate blood, and the actual do- nation takes just a few minutes. The remainder of time is spent for registration, testing, refresh- ments and rest. Every phase of the program is supervised by: experienced Red Cross workers, and tests a re made before any donation is received. Any person who is in average good health between the ages of 18 and 65, may donate blood. No discomfort is experienced in donating blood and there are no diet restrictions for the donor. Blood cannot be manu- factured. It must come from blood donors. That is why it is so important that enough donors are recruited for these Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics. 400 Blood Donors Target Hospitals are requested for blood, day in and day out, by persons requiring this life-sav- ing gift as the result of acc dents. To make sure that this blood is available, the Red Cross requires public spirited donors. This Blood Donor Service is provided free of charge to per+ sons needing blood. No charge is made whatsoever. The Red Cross Blood Clinic in Oshawa, Thursday, will operate from 1.30 p.m, to 4.30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and there will be plenty of free parking. : All Oshawa organizations are urged to send representatives to this Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic to be held in St. Greg. ly ---- on Thursday, fan. 3.
