GRACED BY IDEAL wea- ther the annua! Fly-in Break- fast held Sunday morning at the Oshawa Airport by the Oshawa Flying Club was a fine success. More than 300 planes from Wichita, Kansas, More Than 280 Planes 'At Fly-In Breakfast Oshawa Flying Club's eighth annual Fly-In Breakfast got off to an early start Sunday morn- ing when Clarence Money, of Barrie, winged in to the air- port at 5.25 a.m. Before noon, more than 280 planes set down here to enjoy a@ breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast amd coffee. On the field already were some 50: aircraft which had carried visitors to Saturday's air show. Thus: the uncertain weather had little effect on attendance although last year's record 341 plane arrivals was not sur- G. P. Conklin came ail the way from Wichita, Kansas, and 69-year-old R. L. Pearson flew in from Brantford, Ont. Diane Sharrard, of Toronto, at 18, was the youngest pilot here. WEATHER CUT ATTENDANCE } Airport Manager George Slo- combe said Sunday night vari- able weather both to the east and west of Oshawa yesterday may have kept some pilots at home. He noted that again this Montreal and Pennsylvania as well as many Ontario centres brought more than 1,200 visit- ors. The upper picture shows a section of the field with the visiting planes parked as their owners ate and met old Toronto, ($50); and J.»C. Wood- cock, Oshawa, ($25). FLED TO BRADFORD Gollop's route lay east to Keene, south-east of Peterbor- ough, then northwest to Udora, west to Bradford and back to Oshawa. He has been flying for close to four years and has 500 hours flying time. He flew his own plane aided by a fancy watch whose face was covered with a maze of dials. He says this was his third and luckiest fly-in breakfast. (This race was started in 1953 amd run in connection with the International Air Show at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion. It was discontinued in 1958 but George Slocombe described this rally as the first annual cup race and it will be under the jurisdiction of the Oshawa Fly- ing Club). Approximately 6000 persons swarmed over the airport Sun- day to get a close look at visi- tors' aircraft. Left over from the Saturday airshow were a Navy submarine tracker, two World War I planes belonging to Cole Palen of Rhinebeck, | year there were no accidents (there has only been one in the eight years the breakfast has ben held).

The injuries resulted from a fall after the boy had been "Put to sleep" by four friends with whom he was playing the game. Apparently the game requires one boy to take 10 deep breaths. Another will then squeeze his chest, When it was Ron's turn he felt he went dizzy. One of the boys tried to lay him down, but Ron fell on his face. Constable Charles W. Gallog- ley, who investigated the mat- ter, said he gave the boys a good iecture after the incident. $14,475 GIVEN - BY BARRISTERS The swimming pool for the Oshawa Civic Auditorium may become a reality if present enthusiasm contin- ues. This is the opinion of aud- itorium committee chairman E. R, S. "Dick" McLaugh- lin after 24 Oshawa lawyers pledged a total of $14,475 to the auditorium fund. "TI feel that this is an ex- cellent lead-off for groups other than those making use of the payroll deduction plan," said Mr. McLaughlin. "If this type of enthusiasm prevails the swimming pool may not be beyond the reach of the committee." The $14,475 donation of the lawyers is another indic- ation that all citizens are proud of this community effort, he added. this July in Quebec City. Was Eyewitness To Famine Deaths Professor John Wowchuk, of Pittsburgh, Pa., who was an eyewitness to the death of his fellow countrymen in the Uk- raine during what he terms as "artificial famine," delivered an address the Oshawa Ukrain- ian community here Sunday during the 30th anniversary of this disaster, The professor is editor of "The National Word', a Uk- rainian daily in Pittsburg with a circulation of 4,000. He is also a ontributory editor to 'Echoes of Ukraine', a Toronto mewspaper and in addition is active in the Ukrainian Con- gress Committee, USA. He has been in America since 1950 living in New York for nine years where he worked in the capacity of editor with several Ukrainian publications. During the turbulent years of the famine, 1927 to 1933, he worked as a researcher in plants. TWICE ARRESTED Twice arrested and sent to prison, he spent some time in hard labor in Siberia and was allowed to go free only because of the Soviet's need for men of his calibre. "It is not true," said the pro- fessor during a personal in- terview, "that there wasn't a good harvest in the Ukraine during the time of the famine. In fact, there was such a rich harvest that it could have fed the entire population for four years. "Yet" he reflected, "almost Some tiny homebuilt aircraft were also on display, along with a helicopter and Piper planes, fresh from the factory. ment, controlled the numerous take-offs amd landings and kept the aircraft sorted out. The pilots and _ spectators brought large appetites with them. The chief cook reports | 200 dozen eggs, 125 Ibs. of bacon, 90 gallons of coffee, 82 Joaves of bread and 28 Ibs. of butter were consumed. Possibly noting that the hik- ing craze is dying down, the host club supplied "courtesy cars" to bring pilots to and from their planes. At that, some of them were parked a} long way from the breakfast tables. HOLD CUP AIR RALLY Highlight of the Sunday show was the Governor General's Cup Air Rally. Going for the $400 first prize money were 26 amateur pilots: 10 from Osh- awa, five from Toronto, two each from Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener and Port Colborne; and one each from Belleville, Brantford and Utopia, Ontario. Twenty-seven year old Wil liam Gollop from Utopia (near Barrie) was the eventual win- ner in a Cessna 140. His cor- rected time of two hours, three minutes was computed after fig- uring such things as handicaps and early or late arrival over predetermined checkpoints on a course revealed only minutes before take-off. | Mayor Lyman Gifford pre- sented the ilver cup, which Gollop may keep for a year, A replica, which the winner may keep, was presented by Dr. Oscar Mills. (It was donated by the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce.) The mext four prize-winners, | in order, were: J. B. Valvasori, Oshawa ($200); L. J.

Oshawa Times photo VETERAN EMPLOYEES ARE HONORED BY GENERAL MOTORS 7,000,000 people died from hun- ger inflicted by the Moscovite rule." Professor Wowchuk said this came about through collectiv- ism of the villages. Apparently, the government liquidated the stronger individual farmers and leaders. It then began its col- lection of the farms and in- creased taxes to the point where the government was tak- ing twice as much as the farm- er could produce. Here and there spontaneous revolts oc- curred but were soon quelled as the peasants were helpless without their leaders. "This is what the commun- ists do,"" remarked the profes- sor, "they cut off the head, so that ihe body is useless." STRINGENT LAWS He said an army of 25,000 was sent into the villages, to take political and economial hold. A law was established to the effect that anyone taking a bit of grain from the farms were sent to Siberia or were dealt with through capital pun- ishment. The army and the vil- lage mob helped enofrce this law. Towers were set up in the vil- \lages, with armed watchmen, If anyone attempted to take a morsel of food, he was shot. This lasted until 1933 and most of ihe people died in early spring before the harvest. The only reason, the famine eased up was because most of the people were dead, he related. "The villages were the strong- hold of Ukrainian life amd to undermine the roots is to de- Thieves Take Rirport Safe Security: minded thieves walk- ed away with a safe at the Oshawa Airport Sunday night. Airport Manager George Slo- combe reported this morning that the main floor offices had been entered and $500 to $800 had been taken. He said that most of the money was in cash and the remainder was in cheques. Mr, Slocombe, said that the theives had locked all the office: doors when they left. He could not say how entry was gained but pointed out that nothing was disturbed other than the missing safe. Loss of the safe was discov- ered by Mrs. Virginia Brady, a clerk, this morning. Mr. Slo- combe added that receipts from Saturday's Air Show were dep- osited in a bank Saturday night. nighft He also said that cameras which were in the office were untouched. Mr. Slocombe point- a ed out scratch marks on an in- ner office door which could have been made when the safe was carried out. The safe also contained bus- iness records of the airport, he stated. Investigation of the theft is being carried out by Detective J. Powell of the Osh. ; a 2 sepsis A LARGE NUMBER of new members were welcomed when General Motors of Canada, Limited, held its 25-Year Din- ner Saturday night in Toron- to.

Professor Wowchuk remarked the only reason he managed to stay alive was by moving about the country and that he wasn't in one place six months. WAS COUNCIL OFFICIAL When he finally managed to escape from the Moscovite rule, the professor went to Western Ukraine where from 1943 to 1945, he held the position of vice-presdient of the Ukrainian Liberation Council and was active in underground work. He went to Germany in 1945 and continued to fight for the freedom of his people amd country. Leaving there, he came to America. Professor Wowchuk is mar- ried with two sons, the oldest is a manager of a chemisty plant in USA and the youngest is attending school. This patriotic freedom fighter was born in 1900, in the prov- ince of Poltava. He finished high school in Kremenchuk and graduated from a University at Charkiv where he received a professorship in chemistry and viology. He also taught at this University and was active in rescarch there. The professor's visit here was sponsored by the Oshawa branch of the Ukrainian Cana- dian Committee which takes in all the city's Ukrainian associa- tions. -- CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT A Bible Lesson entitled 'God the Preserver of Man" was pre- sented at Sunday's services in First Church of Christ, Scient- est, Oshawa.

"We have arrived at the mid point of 1963 -- the most re- warding year for all of us and the best in the General Motors history book," Mr. Walker told the GM people and their wives. "It is the year of your greatest achievement and it may be the launching pad to a great new era of our business. "Already in the 1963 model year you have built over quarter of a million cars and trucks -- more than were built in the entire 1962 model year. Sales of GM's North American- type vehicles are running 18 per cent ahead of the all-time rec- ord set last year." 2,530 MEMBERS The GM 25 Year Club which now has a total membership of 2,530 people -- the langest in- dustrial group of its kind in Canada -- this year welcomed 71 new members. The club also paid honor. to five Oshawa men who have joined the 50 Year Club bringing its total member- ship to 25 -- seven of whom are still actively employed.

"General Motors is putting its money on Canada's future," Mr. Walker said. "Last February, at a time when it was not alto- gether fashionable to be opti- look for this country, General Motors made its decision to pro- ceed with one of the largest single investments it has ever made in Canada. This is an in- vestment of many, many mil- lion dollars."
