MORE THAN 500 canvass- ers and guests attended the kick-off dinner for the pro- posed $1,000,000 civic auditor- Auditorium Workers Hear Project Details Oshawa's proposed Civic Au- ditorium will be a reality in a few months if the fund-rais- ing campaign is_ successful, Terence V. Kelly, financial chairman of the committee, told more than 400 canvassers in St. Gregory's Auditorium Mon- day night. He urged them to canvass themselves first, explaining that the committee. has pledged an average of $786.10 per person. "It is a lot easier to ask other people to give if you've already given yourself," he said. Donald Jackson, the 1962 World figure skating champion who presented the committee with a cheque for $1,000 told the canvassers, "'judging by the of children in Satur- day's parade, a Civic Auditor- tum is really necessary." He said he would like to come back to his home town of Osh- a@wa in a year's time and see the slogan ium held in -St. Gregory's Auditorium last night.

Mr. Gifford recalled that past campaigns in this city have been successful, such as the |hospital and Red Feather, and he couldn't see why this one wouldn't be, especially when, "it's semething we've needed for a long time." "Before", said the mayor, "children have had to go to Brooklin, Port Perry, Bowman- ville . . . and even Whitby." A YOUNG CITY Mr. Kelly told the enthusias- tie group, "This is a young city. Its population has increas- ied from 28,000 in 1949 to 63 or |64,000 today." He went on to say, '"'the re- creational facilities we have are taxed to the limit and are |operated by people who work Mayor Lyman A. Gifford ex- plained why he has stayed in as far as the is concerned. "I've always contended," he stated, 'that city council should stay out of public fund-raising under difficult conditions.
