2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, April 14, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- SPEAKING OF PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAMS ! Oshawa Branch 43, the Royal Canadian Legion is to be congratulated. : Its efforts to get a Physical Fitness Program launched . locally appear to be paying off. i ee This does not mean the program is already a suc- cess. There is still a long way to go, but the Branch's affiliate the Oshawa Track and Field Council--is gradually getting things into shape considerable ground work. For instance, Mr. Barclay after Law of the OTFC announced || today that a special clinic will be held at the McLaugh- lin Collegiate and Technical School next Saturday for those who would serve as officials and judges at local and district track and field events. Lectures on theory will be held from 9 a.m. to noon -- practical demonstra- tions will be held in the afternoon. Mr. Law emphasized today that both males and females will be welcomed to the course -- the total cost for each is $2 ($1 for a manual and $1 for enrollment in the AAU of C.) It was about 10 months ago that Geoffrey Dyson -- na- tional director of the Legion's Physical Fitness Program -- was in these parts beating the publicity drums furiously on behalf of P-F program. Dyson, former Track and Field coach of England's great Olympic teams in an age known as "The Golden Era of Eng- land's Track and Field," has a tremendous job to do, one that -deserves the support of all. We will know his program is on the way to success when the local High School yards contain no more students' auto- mobiles. GEOFFREY DYSON HILLSDALE RESIDENTS LOSE A GOOD FRIEND Earle Kerr Fielding died last Saturday. This means that the senior residents of Oshawa's Hills- dale Manor have lost one of their best friends. Certainly no individual could do more to lessen the load of these people in the twilight of their days than did Earle. As chairman of Hillsdale Manor entertainment commiitee of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, he made a rare contribution to the happiness of the H-M residents; no job was too ar- duous, or personal sacrifice too great for him in this regard throughout the years. The same story is true of his unique contribution to the club's special committee for entertainment at the Children's Aid Society Shelter, especially on Christ- mas Day. Earle was that rare gem -- the type of club member who serves far beyond the call of duty, without prodding in fair weather and poor, for the betterment of mankind. Little wonder is it that the Kinsmen twice recognized this trait offi- cially by awarding him the Douglas Crews Trophy as'.the most valuable member of the local club. He' will be missed IN PRAISE OF ALEX OAKLEY Oshawa's Alex Oakley is still in the headlines The 35-year-old GM worker. (Paris and Service) won the Ontario 10-mile championship on Saturday with a time of one hour, 17 minutes and eight seconds, seven seconds over his closest rival. His next' big test will be June 6 at Camp Borden in the Canadian championships. Oakley has his sights on the next Olympics scheduled for Japan next October -- in this regard, a fund has been started locally to help him with expenses on this Far East trip. Donations should be sent to; Alex Oakley Expense Fund, care of Mr. Barclay Law, Oshawa Track and Field Council, . 344 Masson street, Oshawa. Oakley, a native of St. John's, Newfoundland, placed | sixth in the 50 kilometre walk and ninth in the 20 kilometre at the 1960 Rome Olympics. He won a gold medal for Canada for 20 kilometres at the 1963 Pan-American Games in Brazil. | MUNICIPAL BUDGET SHOULD BE READ Municipal budgets, regardless of how well prepared, are often cumbersome things to read. They should be read carefully, however. They spell out the story of the municipality's financial picture in much more detail than any other document. The Oshawa Board of Education's 1964 budget, for exam- ple, has these items listed: Expenses of delegates to conventions (under Administra- tion Sundry Expenses) -- $5,000 for trustees and $1,000 for administration officials. These totals, of course, do not re- flect the Board's over-all convention bill, as that for princi- pals and teachers is not included. Under "Miscellaneous--Administration Sundry Expenses" is a total expenditure of $5,155 made up such items as: annua! staff entertainment -- $1,200; annual board dinrier-- $300; flowers, gifts, luncheons--$1,800; Central Labor Rela- tions Institute--$1,400. Total administration sundry expenses budgeted for 1964 will be $14,120 -- all above figures are amounts budgeted for this year. The Board's 1964 budget also has some interesting break- downs on~such things as Average Daily Attendance and per- pupil cost: of Education -- gross. For collegiates, the estimated yearly cost in 1964 will be. $720.07 per pupil as compared with $622.07 last year, $564.68 in 1962 and $525.05 in 1961. The estimated average daily attendance for collegiates in 1964 will be 2,859 as compared with 2,580 in 1963; 2,440.63 in 1962 and 2,154.61 in 1961. The gross cost for collegiates in 1964 is estimated at JOINS HOLLYWOOD ELITE Hollywood's annual Award presentations.

The origin of the death re- port was wrapped in some- thing of a mystery today. A language difficulty be- tween an inquiring Japanese reporter and a Soviet Tass agency man in Moscow may have caused the trouble. But confirmation of this was not forthcoming, and there were | other versions, In Washington, President Johnson was kept informed as the rumor spread through the United States, but White House Press Secretary George Reedy said it had not quite reached the point of prompting the president to use the hot line teletype wires to Moscow. The rumor set off a frantic flurry of activity in Europe's chancelleries and news organ- izations. VIEWERS TOLD Television newscasts in France, Britain and Germany told viewers of the rumor, strsesing it was unconfirmed, and then broke in with the de- nial, The rumor hit London just as its mass circulation morn- ing newspapers were rolling with their first editions. It hit print in only one--the stop press column of The Daily Mail. But throughout Fleet Street, London's newspaper row, emergency staffs were called | | in and special editions flung together -- only to be dis- carded immediately when the | report was branded as false. LANGUAGE MIX-UP SPARKS DEATH RUMOR How did it happen? Here is one version: Early in the evening Tass started transmitting to sub- scribers throughout the world a transcript of Khrushchev's speech at a Moscow banquet for Wladyslaw Gomulka, Po- lish Communist boss. Suddenly. Tass broke off its transmission, Breaks of this kind are not unusual, Then, according to the Ger- man news service DPA: "A Japanese journalist in Moscow inquired at Tass why the report on the Khrushchev speech in the English service was not being continued. REPLY MISUNDERSTOOD 'He apparently misunder- stood the reply, given to him in Russian. 'International agencies that exchange each others service (not including the Associated Press) used the erroneous re- port of a Japanese source that Khrushchev had died, at- tributing the report to Tass." Within minutes the report had flashed around the world. In London the foreign office alerted Foreign Secretary Richard A. Butler, and the cables started humming to the British Embassy in Moscow. In Tokyo, a top. executive of the Japanese news agency Kyodo said it had been re- ported that a Genman news agency was carrying the story but said that Kyodo itself had not carried an independent story, either out. of its Mos- cow bureau or out of its Tokyo headquarters. The report caused brief pan- demonium in Japan's newspa- per world, It came after final morning editions had gone to press, and editors had gone | home to bed. INTERPRETING THE NEWS K. Loses Grip On Red Empire By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer The threat of a Moscow-Pe- king showdown has receded as Soviet Premier Khrushchev prepares to celebrate his 70th ging efforts of Khrushchev, the principles of peaceful co-exist- ence have been taking firmer and firmer root in international relations in the last decade," the Soviet agency says in sum- ming up v's present stature, Khrushchey, in his current meeting with Polish leaders in the Kremlin, thoughtfully ac- knowledges that the Communist world is in trouble and that Red China ts the culprit. He predicts a way will be found to handle the Chinese situation. HANDS TIED But the prospect appears that Khrushchey may be forced to eat his words; to listen to the tireless tirade of the Chinese and be unable to do anything about the situation except by countering with tirades of his own, The division within the Com- munist camp is therefore likely to grow, with P dle at home but no longer in firm control over the world of international' communism. The world now faces the growing prospect that the man who survived the whims and terror of Stalin may be forced to preside at the liquidation of Communist solidarity. For although Khrushchev in- dicated during his Hungarian tour he is ready to take up the Chinese challenge raised by poem-maker Mao Tse - Tung, the Soviet leader now appears to have accepted the suggestion of East European satellites that he show more caution in at- tempting to strangle the Red dragon.
