Probably in the excite- }ment he dialed a wrong number. 'He was on his way to use the phone next door when he met Mr. Ostler, who told him the alarm had already been turned Mrs. Simpson claimed the whole story was exaggerated. "A few. storage shelves were burned in the cold cellar," she said, "but most of the damage was smoke and water. It wasn't a blaze." Over Rules': The Ontario NDP came in for a heavy lashing last night for what was dubbed "the practice of character assassination." The term came from Mrs. Ada Pritchard, MPP for Ham- ilton Central, who was speak- ing at the annual meeting of the Oshawa Riding Progressive Conservative Association. Mrs. Pritchard, the only fe- male member of the Legisla- ture, added: "I am constantly shocked by the recklessness and the disregard the position hold for the rights of others in the legislature. "One of the basic principles handed down to us in the par- liamentary system is that any member who charges another member with a misdemeanor, is required to back up his facts. "Not so with the NDP. They ride roughshod over the basic rules of our system and replace these with their own the practice of character assassin- ation.

"NO EVIDENCE" "This is a serious charge, But pressed for details to sub- stantiate his charges he failed to produce any evidence at all, "If this were an isolated in- cident," she added, "one would be willing to overlook it. How- ever this type of unfounded charge and character assassin- ation persists with wide regu- larity." Mrs. Pritchard dwelt on the Mercer and Guelph "scandals" to add to her point. "Responsible observers," she said, "are wise to cunclude that after the NDP makes shams out of our parliamen- tary system while In opposition, it is obvious that if they are ever to achieve the responsibil- ity of governing this great province, they too, from their own admission, could make few changes from the present gov- ister of Mines with the. possi- lernment policy." It isn't always the most ex- pensive gift that lingers in a person's memory Mrs. Charles Traynor of 216 Bruce st. is convinced of this. She will always remember a Mother's Day 10 years ago when her nine children -- she now has 10 -- gave her a poem em- broidered on a pillow cover. It was all they could afford. It took her daughter, Joyce, now Mrs. William King of 328% Lakeshore, three weeks to compose and embroider the tribute. She was 14 years old at the time. Mrs. Traynor recalled return- ing home from church that day and being asked by the children to play 'Beautiful Dreamer" on the piano, "They sang the verse... I couldn't finish," The poem: Our mother's not someone We think of as boss. Though she's not always smil- ing, She's not always cross, God put her on earth With one reason in mind: So she could give birth To a family of nine. She's someone we turn to In time of despair. She comforts us all With her loving care. God sent us an angel From heaven above; She's soft as satin And as pure as a dove, We love her like diamonds, We love her like gold; We love her today As we willswhen we're old. No words can describe her For she's always right. Her heart is rose red And her soul lily white. Mr. Traynor, a carpenter, also had a surprise for "mo- Mother's Day Poetic Tribute Embroidered On Pillow Case ther" -- a dozen red roses. The Traynors had been burn- ed out a year previous and Mrs. Traynor was operating a boarding house in Sudbury where they lived at that time, to get back on their feet. Mrs. Traynor gave birth to the first New Year's baby in Oshawa in 1945. The family re- turned to Oshawa in 1962. Seven children live at home, one lives in Ajax and another in Tim- mins, Of the unusual Mother's Day gift, Mrs. Traynor says: "I've never had a nicer Mother's Day present -- nothing could have been any nicer."

The first, Garnet Rickard, was elected in the early sixties, becoming the first from the township to be elected Warden in over 100 years.

Henry Piekenbrock says that a picture in the magazine show- ing the true image of Columbus decided him on doing it.

"T got the impression that this board will be the object of in- teresting observation by the g ernment and other municipal- ities because there is literally a concentration of all the prob- lems here that you might find in any area of the province," said Mr, Newman.
