This record of service would not be possible without the thousands of volunteer blood donors and the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest, The latter provides the money nec- essary to cover the cost of preparing the blood ready for transfusions. This cost is approximately half of the branch's budget, but many of the recipients of "the most precious gift' have thank- ed the Red Cross for under- taking this humanitarian serv- ice, Hospital patients no longer pay for blood, They receive it as a gift of volunteer blood donors. The Red Cross finds collects and pro- cesses the blood and delivers the donors, it to the hospitals. The Red Cross also operates the Senior Citizens' Committee with its friendly visiting pro- ' +e Secrets are part of the wonderful world of children.

A new project, Meals-on- Wheels, is being investigated. It is hoped to have it in oper- ation soon, It will provide sen- jor citizens -- unable to prepare or without the facilities to pre- pare -- with a home cooked hot meal. Volunteers of all ages parti- cipate in Red Cross work in Oshawa, The Junior Red Cross has many groups in city schools, Their funds are raised by membership fees and are used solely for the treatment of handicapped children and mobile clinics. The Women's Work group is composed of women who sew, knit and make quilts in the Red Cross rooms and in their homes. It is these women who help keep the cupboards at home and abroad ever ready for times of disaster. Chest for its successful opera- tion, The $23,500 earmarked for the Salvation Army in this year's GOCC campaign will not begin to meet the Army's local opera- tion expenses, but it is urgently needed if the latter's social and welfare program is to be con- tinued on its present scale, The Army's role in the com- munity life of Oshawa is so widespread it would. require several volumes to tell the en- tire story, The Army supplied furniture, food and clothing to "burned out" fire victims, It offers fam- ily counselling service and as- sists parolees from the penal system, Unmarried mothers-to- be receive assistance in obtain: ing help and security during a | trying period. A little-known side of Army's work, one which goes mostly unnoticed by the public, offers aid to men and women suffering from drug-addiction The Salvation Army is also there when disaster strikes -- flood, fire, drought, train wreck or other possible calamities. The Army does not regard people as derelicts, but rather as workers temporarily dis» located, unemployed fathers, wives in distress, hungry chil- dren. In Oshawa, many such people have been given finan- cial ald.and guidance -- this is because the citizens, who are concerned about have given lib- erally to the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. The Army operates a Fresh Air Camp at Roblin Lake, near Picton, where underprivileged children from Oshawa may go. The services of the Salvation Army are also vividly remem: bered by the men who returned from two world wars, They re- call the Salvation Army to this day for its kindness and thoughtfulness.

FLOOD HITS AT HILLSDALE Superintendant Douglas Johns of Hillsdale Manor said today that 10 women were removed from their perman- ent quarters and the special- care wing was flooded with water Thursday night when a supply pipe burst, No one was injured. He said a one-inch cold water supply pipe "rupted". The only damage reported was soaked mattresses and ruined stock, he said. "As far as I could see our residents were not upset by the accident," Mr. John con- tinued. "It was the most ex- citing thing that has happen- ed to many of them in a long time.

They want to know that each of the 21 participant - agencies in the GOCC are deserving of the amounts earmarked for them, The quickest way to get the answers to these questions is to study the individual case-his- tories of the afrementioned agencies, to acquaint one's self with their records of achieve- ment. The more one conscientious. ly follows this course, the more he or she becomes fully. con- vinced that the needs of each organization is great, that the role it plays within the GOCC framework is an essential one, A crippled kiddie needs long- term therapy and costly equip: ment to overcome his handi- cap. A widowed mother needs spe- cial help while her children are too young to allow her to get a job, A man stricken with mental disease in the prime of life needs advice and rehabilitation when he leaves the hospital, All of these needs -- as well ' 4 as countless others -- can be met with the dollars you con- tribute to the 1966 GOCC cam- paign which opened Oct, 17 with the highest objective in its 26-year history, $345,875. The Community Chest is there with dollar-help when the Red Cross rushes bottled-blood to the victims of a highway accident. It is also there when the need is great for the Homemaker Service (another Red Cross Affiliate which sends trained women to the home when moth- er is i), YOUNG AND OLD THE GOCC -- through its 21 agency members who share in the campaign collection ac- cording to their needs -- offers innumerable services for young and old alike, services which would leave a grave gap if they were removed, These services touch on every segment of our society, . with- out regard for race, religion or color, They extend from the Boy Scouts Association (Camp Samac catered to more than 15,000 boys during the past 12- month period) to the Oshawa branch of the Salvation Army (which serves the needs in numerous ways) to the local branch of the John Howard Society (whose program assists with the rehabilitation of ex: convicts). The Simcoe Hall Settlement House is typical of the GOCC agencies that offer much-need- ed services to the community. The house, located in one of the city's largest population areas, helps the distressed and disturbed on a seven-day-per- week basis. Senior citizens are served by the Golden Age So- cial Club -- there is also a gymnasium and numerous club rooms for youngsters, who would otherwise be playing un- supervised on the streets. The settlement house also operates a Counselling Serv- ice where families with finan- cial or emotional problems are given guidance, Wise counsel- ling is a costly and time-con- suming service that requires qualified personnel, The lack of such people today is another of the serious problems with which the settlement house must contend, Simcoe. Hall Settlement House offers such varied pro- grams as speech correction classes, a day nursery school, deaf and hard - of - hearing classes for pre-school children; a girl's nursing corps; a girl's teen-age club; a junior crafts (Oshawa Times Photo) 21 Agencies Serve Humanity club; a boys' stamp club; plus chess and archery clubs.

Many of them can not walk or manipulate wheel- chairs independently, Others have little or no use of either or both hands, Others have speech problems which make their words unihtelligible. Said an official of the Crip- pled Children's School today: "Many of these children are crippled because of Cerebral Palsy -- these children can be helped. They can be taught to adapt to their problems, to train their muscles by exer- cise and relaxation, they can be helped with speech prob- lems so that they can com- municate with others." THE BOY SCOUTS The Oshawa District Council of the Boy Scouts of Canada will receive $42,000 as a grant from this year's Chest cam. paign; but this amount will not begin to meet its capital expenditures for 1966-67, The Council operates two camps = the Oshawa training base operates 12 months year- ly, the Haliburton adventure base for 10 weeks in the sum- mer. Stanley A, Richardson, dis- trict Boy Scout executive of the Oshawa area, says that "'out- side" Scouts use both camps, fm but they pay for such privil- OSHAWA PROUD OF ITS RED CROSS BLOOD DONORS | «ss Their One-Day Record Highest In The Province (Qehawa Times Photo) Grants' from the Chest are used to provide program of youth activity and training, These include opportunities for swimming lessons and swim- ming.

Total registered in through the pool this year -- 75,000. Total registered in and camp- ed at Samac in 1966--15,067, ; Mr. Richardson estimates that approximately 41 per cent of the Scouts using Samac are from "'outside," Scout groups (as individuals) pay an annual registration fee of $1 per head which is used to provide services at the na- tional and provincial levels. 219 LEADERS Says Mr. Richardson: "To provide the district pro- gram, including the heavy summer programs, the follow- ing must be provided--general maintenance of camps and headquarters for the district; boats, canoes, swimming in- structors, lifeguards, training programs, Camporees, Cubo- rees, special ceremonies, church parades and limited maintenance and office staff (thgee all told), serves children whose handicaps prevent their decision to set a rental policy for the new Eastdale Collegiate Auditorium has caused some concern among a group of pros- pective tenants, At a board meeting Monday, Eastdale will,be higher than at anv other city auditorium, and therefore, rents will probabiy go up. , "We'll go along with the board's policy if it isn't too ex- pensive, but it may be too steep for us and other groups," said Harry Chapman, board di- rector of. the Oshawa Little Theatre. The OLT is staging three plays at the auditrolum, Mr. Chapman said preference should be given to local groups when renting is concerned, He said the auditorium was built as a "compensation" for Osh- awa groups who haven't had suitable facilities in the past.
