$345,875 OBJECTIVE - | Community Chest Drive Starts Monday By JACK GEARIN of The Times Staff ' The Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest Fund drive swings into operation Oct. 17 with an objective of $345,875, highest ever in the 26-year history of the campaign, known originally as The Win-the-War-and-Com- munity - Fund. The GOCC is asking for more this year because the urgent demands of its 21 member organizations, who share in the fund according to their needs, are greater now than they were in 1965 when the campaign yielded $337,000, This was ap- proximately $31,000 above the objective. The 21 member organizations need more money because of the city's population inciecase, tional costs as it provides more services so essential to the welfare of the community. The GOCC's vast operation spans almost every facet of Oshawa's community welfare life while serving thousands of children and adults; thanks {0 its efficient operation, the needy - as well as the aged, infirm and the young - are served in the most effective way possible. GOCC prevents duplication of service 4nd need- less waste while keeping - an alert eye on the more pressing welfare needs of the commun- ay. United community campaigns across Canada in the last three years have averaged about 97 per cent of the target but the City of Oshawa can top this paign in the past 10 years with the exception of 1960. j The Oshawa branch of the EACH GET $42,000 The Oshawa branch of the Boy Scouts of Canada and the Oshaws branch of the Cana- n Red Cross Society each will réwejve a $42,000 grant from this 19" GOCC cam- paign drive. ff As an indication of the Scout's need for this grant, their Osh- awa association operates near- by Camp Samac whose. facili- ties have been used by more than 15,000 boys since last Oct. 1. The $42,006 ear- marked for them won't begin to pay the annual expenditures of Samac. The balance is raised by such meinods as ices have other major expenditures paid from 'the $42,000 grant. They operate a Survival Course program on their 600-acre site on lake of Two Islands in the Haliburton region for Senior Scouts (14 and up) and Rovers. The influence of the | Boy Scouts is: second only to the churches in the development of moral and religious character. The Oshawa branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society provides numerous _ services, not the least of which is its Homemaker Service. These trained people take care of the family when mother is ill (regardless: of race, - celor, creed or income) or when one of the parents deserts the fam- ily.

It was then known as The Oshawa Win The War and Community Fund. It had an- objective of $85,000| as compared with this year's goal of $345,875 - and was oversub scribed in a two week campaign. More than $12,000,000 was contributed to similar funds across Canada in the early "days of the War. The averate bisiness man in Oshawa had contributed to lo- cal charities cheerfully, gave generously of his time be- fore the fund was organized, but one thing was beginning to | trouble him were; W.E.N.

VANCOUVER FIRST The City of Vancouver, B.C. was first in Canada to pioneer the plan. It had a well organized welfare federation - within a few days of the outbreak of .the Second World War, Van- couver was able to set up previously - planned civic war chest committee, subsequently registered under the War Char- ities act. The Oshawa Win the War and Community Fund was or- ganized at a meeting in the General Motors of Canada board room here in October of 1940 when an executive' was selected as follows; Chairman: Harry J. michael, vice - general manager of Motors of Canada Ltd P Yea executive members Car- General president and & : Col.

Davis officially open- ed the $2,153,108 addition to the Pickering District High School Friday evening. Mr. Davis ioid ine audience of officials and parents that there were few problems in ed- ucatica that could not he solved! if monies were available. He said that people serving on boards and councils were not acknowledged frequent! enough and advised his audi- ence that education was a co- operative enterprise. The education minister told of changes in education and said that in 12 years there would be more diverse science and mathermatical material to be studied in schools than there had been in the past 100 years. He said that a municipality could build a road from A to B and change it after five years but that mistakes in an educa- tion system could take a gen- eration to correct. Mr. Davis said that today's educators must be capable of discovering the changing fields for themselves and that they must be in a position to assess intelligently what is happening in the business and commerce community today. INVESTMENT "Our most important invest- ment today is in education and we must make this invest- ment if we are to survive as a nation", said Mr. Davis. The guest speaker warned that it was just as important to have university qualified. teach- ers in grade one as in grade 13 and said that this too would incur a further expense on the part of the public. Mr. Davis said that the re- organized education program in the Province of Ontario had proved' to be an unqualified success and that as a result many more young people are staying in school. Mi. Davis said tha parents were realizing that it is just as important to have their children follow a techni- cal or commercial course as it is to have them attend an ac- ademic course, He said education must re- main the number one priority in government budgeting and told his audience that his bud- get for the 1966-67 fiscal year was $837 million. This, he said represented 45 per cent of the total provincial government bud- get. Mr. Davis said Canada could no longer look to Europe for talented personal and said that 13 per cent of Canadians be- tween the ages of 18 and 24 attended university compared with 20 to 24 per cent in the United States. He said he hop- ed the figure in Canada would reach 20 per cent by 1975. THINK BIG Mr. Davis was preceded in the program by Pickering Dis- trict High School Board Chair- man Gordon H. Bray who warn- ed high school students to think big because the choice they made now would be their in- spiration or straightjacket in the future. Mr. Bray told the audience that four members of the pre- sent board had served the board for the past 15 years and that each had served at least two years as board chairman. The four long service members are H. A. Mitchell, A. R. Irwin, D. S, Claringbold and B. Jam- eson.

YWCA Helps Young Women The YWCA on Simcoe Street South was first organized in Oshawa in 1945. when Col. and Mrs. R. S: McLaughlin gave Adelaide House to it for the use of the people of Oshawa. The YW, a Community Chest agency, provides a home for girls and young women, 16 , to 35, of all races and creeds, where they can live in fellow- ship with companions who Share the same ideals and goals. ¢ One of the services of 'the YW is to provide personal counselling to permanent -- or transient- residents or to any- one who goes to the organiza- tion for help. Some of the residents are young girls away from home for the first time. They gain a sense of security and inde- pendence at the "'Y", and need little in the way of counselling -- just help with the usual problems of young adulthood. Others are in greater need ~- girls who have to leave home because of divorced par- ents or alcoholism on the part of mother or father, girls stranded in a city without funds, girls who have been mentally™ ill and cured, but have' no home ingDshawa. riding repr ted by Michael Starr, is being split in two. Mr. Starr confirmed last night he will seek re-election in the new Oshawa riding (which in- cludes Whitby). Two new Conservative asso- ciations will be formed as a result of redistribution. Robert Nicol, vice-president of the old Ontario riding associ- ation, said the heavily populated riding is being divided because it is too unwieldy for one MP. Mr. Starr talked in detail about redistribution and thanked supporters for their "tremendous job" during the past seven elettions in the On- tario federal riding. TWO TORY SEATS Of his Oshawa riding choice he said: "Much as I would have liked what I_ might con- sider an easier riding to run in T had to make a decision not only on behalf of myself but of the party as a whole." He said that the party had a better chance of retaining two seats if he stood in the Oshawa- Whitby area. Y He urged both ridings to for- mulate their organizations as soon as possible. They could then call nomination meetings and the new Ontario riding's candidate would have a chance to get to know people. ~But-Mr. Starr stressed that until an election is called he is still representative of all of -- Three| the old riding, and he would not abandon his responsibilities to his constituents. B.C. SPEAKER Guest speaker at the meeting was David Pugh, MP for Okanagan Boundary, British Columbia, who described Mr. Starr as "'a man who has done a truly remarkable job." Mr. Pugh listed some of the achievements of the Conserva- tive party both in government and in opposition. He refuted accusations of filibustering by his party in the House of Com- mons, condemned the Liberals for their handling of the recent rail strike, and challenged them over inflation. During the meeting Mrs. Kay Weatherall and Robert Byron were elcted as delegates to the Progressive Conservatives. an- nual general meeting in Ottawa, with Donald Gibson and Mrs, Ruby Fenton as reserves.

"We have no idea why they left," said Ray Halverson, Dean of Men at the college. "I was talking to both of them the night before they left and their attitude didn't indicate that they might be unsatisfied. : "They left all of their books and dress clothes here and are wearing only their work clothes. This is a very unusual incident -- it's the first time that I have experienced it," he said. A spokesman at the police station said the boys were re- ported missing at 7:15 p.m. and it is believed that their destin- ation is Edmonton, via Detroit.
