Sam's interest and active support of the Red Cross, the Girl Guides and Boy. Scouts, The University of 'Toronto and the Oshawa General Hospital. "An active man still," he said. "In many ways as busy as I am. Ina two-week period recently he made three flying trips to New York to attend meetings, was guest at two receptions and chaired a board meeting at General Motors.

The Oshawa Cures Se eeeceermeeeenetlieenene CAR INSURANCE NEED STRESSED AJAX -- Magistrate Harry Jermyn has declared he is cracking down on people who drive without car insurance. Noting there were 12 peo- ple charged with that offence on the court list Thursday, he said that, starting next week, he was doubling the fine. He said the usual penalty for a first-time offender con- victed of driving with no in- surance was $75 or 15 days. But starting next Thursday it may. well be $100 or $150, he said. He told James Brooklyn, one of the people charged with driving with no insur- ance: "I'm trying to tell you in as nice a way as possible that this is a serious matter." Sharp Rise In Welfare Cases Seen The number of persons in Oshawa receiving welfare bene- fits in August shows an in- crease of 251 over the same month a year ago -- the highest in three years. "There is quite a drastic in- crease of persons on welfare for several reasons but the number may ease a little when some of the unemployed take the provincial retraining courses," says H. G. Chese- brough, welfare administrator. There was a total of 928 on city welfare in August. He said, in addition to the General Motors layoff and the several striking companies in Oshawa, general employment during August was "poor." "The retraining courses have really been excelerated since the GM layoff," said Mr. Chesebrough. The four to 10- month cuurses offer mair ied persons about $75 and single persons $35 per week. "It may be a give-away for some people but it also offers others the excellent opportunity to upgrade themselves," said the administrator.
