CHILDREN'S CLOTHING URGENTLY NEEDED One hundred city -- . "drastically" need Harold MeNeill, fon arnd di- rector of Simcoe Hall Settle- ment House, says clothing dona- tions for children are urgently needed by the social and wel- fare service branch. "There are 100 children in our. service that drastically need clothing we can't supply," said Mr. McNeill. "Occasionally we are caught short of particu- lar items but this is a particularly depressing period-- especially when you have to tell a hopeful mother and child there is nothing we can do." Pointing to an empty box, he said: "Look at that, we haven't got one shirt for the boys in that age group -- even the shoes for these fellows are becoming scarce," Clothes are needed especially for pre-school age children and on up to 16 and 17 years of age. Clothes collected by the welfare service of the hall are distrib- uted to those in need. "Usually people on welfare,. the unemployed or anyonc with a large family that can't meet their commitments fall into this category," said Mr, MeNeill. Although all .of ine clothing that is donated can not be used, that which can, is mended and tin washed by members of the Golden Age. club. "We make sure that the cloth- ing is in good shape and pre- sentable," said Mr. McNeill. "We also like to make sure that it fits properly -- especially shoes for the younger ones." "One of the small problems that we run into is styles for teen-agers, It would be unfair to embarrass them just because monn they are, receiving the clothes for free," he said. "It all boils down to supply and demand -- if your demand is ter than your supply you're in trouble, right now, we are in trouble," said Mr. Mc- Neill, "If anyone wishes to donate clothing to the hall, all they have to do is phone us and we will take it from there," he said, : cH POLISH CITIZENS ended their Millenium celebra- tions 1,000 years of --with two final events during the weekend --a banquet and dance, Sat- urday and an Armistice Service on Sunday.

ALICE REARDON, City Alderman I have resided here since 1928 and havé watched Osh- awa grow from 20,000 to its present size. With this ex- pansion has come the need for social and welfare services, Since it is not possible to meet the demands from the tax dollar, the Community Chest must look to the gen- eral public for support. We all have an obligation to support the 21 agencies en- dorsed by the Chest cam- paign. A donation means an investment in the future of our city. It means nursing services for the aged and infirm (VON); spiritual guidance for the trouble (Salvation Army); recreation and group participation for the young- sters (Simcoe Hall, Guides, Scouts, ete.); and advice and counselling for families. Oshawa has an _ enviable record both for giving and for community spirit. MRS. ALICE REARDON - « » Obligation I hope we can maintain this record by making sure the Community Chest reaches its objective this year. She Times OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14 War Veterans Pay Tribute At Cen A chilly but almost cloudless November afternoon greeted several hundred spectators, war veterans, government and religious dignitaries as they joined yesterday to pay tribute to those who died for the cause of freedom. As the Armistice parade troop- ed before the city's Memorial Park Cenotaph in remembrance of men and women who fell in the two world wars, Polish veterans took their place up front. The parade and ceremony was organized by the General Branch 43; Naval Veteran's As- sociation in conjunction with the Polish Millenium Commit- tee. For the first time since the inception of the Armistice ob- servation, Polish Scouts and Guides were represented in the march. On hand, too, were members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 43; Naval eteran's As- sociation; the Ontario Regiment United Council of Veterans Association; Canadian Corps Association, Unit 42; Royal Canadian Air Force Associa- tion, Wing 420; air, army and sea cadets. As color parties stood unwav- ering at the cenotaph's foot, Major General F. F. Worthing- ton and Col. Jan Rudnicki plac- ed a wreath commemorating the dead. Prayers were said, the last post cut through the No- vember air and a two - min- ute silence was observed. Father Antoni Bagsik, priest at St. Hedwig's Roman Catho- otaph and the march swung over to the Memorial Park bandshell for a final service of sermons, remembrance and greetings. . Program director was Jan Drygala. Officials on hand were Albert Walker, MPP, Oshawa; Michael Starr, MP, Ontario Riding; Ambassador Hamilton G, Southam, former Canadian Ambassador to Poland; Rt. Rev. Mons. Paul Dwyer. The Salvation Army Junior Band also participated. Cars Loaded For Sweden One of several shipments of General Motors cars destined for Sweden was loaded Sunday on the freighter Tristan, The freighter took 50 cars on board and will unload them at Stockholm. A General Motors spokesman said today the company sells about 30,000 automobiles 'an- nually to overseas countries, He said the cars sent over- seas represent "a cross - sec- tion" of those models produced in Oshawa. About four or five boats load- ed cars in Oshawa this year, he said, but the percentage of those sent by sea is only part of the total which go to other countries. He said he could not estt- mate the total for 1967, but the average for the past three years lic Church, said benediction was 30,000 cars annually. Criticized By William H.

In announcing his candidacy for re-election today, Mr. Baron said the board author- ized the business administra- tor's trip to Great Britain to employ the duties of teachers there because they were not and are not available in Can- a da. The eight-year veteran of the board also said more taxpayers should allow their names to stand. "Every board has room for improvement.
