DUCK HUNTING is the topic of conversation and one of the '"'live ones" is naturally a little apprehen- sive. Pat McDonald chats with Donald Ibey and Stan Hockett, chief organizers of the three - day Sportsman Show which opened last night at the Civic Auditor- ium. There are 74 exhibitors at the show with a 75th ar- riving today from India -- a big game hunter who will take part in a gun exhibit. | VARIED EXHIBITS ...

The show has a total of $250,000 worth of displays to give it a "something for every- one" flavor. Officials estimated last night's attendance' at about 1,500.

With self-made and painted three-foot flags, pupils of Osh- awa separate schools in grades tive to eight, will pay tribute to the provinces of Canada in all the pageantry they and their director can muster. There will be scenic tributes to prov- inces, songs and ethnic danc- ing. "There's an awful lot of work to do when you're dealing with about $00 children," says Allan E. Morris, music director for separate schools. A 650-person mass choir will assemble at the foot of the stage in eolor, and design to represent the Canadian flag "There'll be rows of children in red colors to act as the flag's borders, children in white for the centre and others for the maple leaf," said Mr. Morris. Three schools, selected for the quality..of their choirs, will individually represent three Canadian provinces at the fes- tival. "Sir Albert Love, St. Philip's and of course, Oshawa Catholic High School, have ex- ceptionally fine choirs,' the director said, The Catholic high school will also feature its own band for the one-night performance. FRENCH SONGS Oshawa's French - speaking Corpus Christi school and all five grade seven classes, study- ing conversational French, will present a selection of French Canadian folk songs. The re- maining seven provinces will be honored by the mass choir taking selections from "Proud- ly We Praise" by Don Wright of Toronto. The book of Cana- dian songs has been written as a tribute to various regions of the nation. Ten, seven-foot provincial crests will adorn the stage drapes and Canadian flags will line the floor, placed by a num- ber of school children. New Art Gallery In City Plans Opening On June 2 The first '"'Art Gallery of Oshawa" will hold its official opening June 2 with an exhibit of paintings, drawings and sculptures in renovated quar- ters on Simcoe Street South. The gallery, 'started several months ago by several Oshawa and district artists, is inviting artists to submit their work for judging beginning May 15 at 7% Simcoe St. S. Members of the artists' co-operative will re- ceive paintings or sculptures between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. "This exhibit is intended to present a cross section of artis- tic endeavor in Oshawa and district," said William Caldwell, chairman of the gallery. "It will act as a medium for ex- pression about the world we live in,' he said. Mr. Caldwell said the co-op- erative is programing exhibits that will increase the perspec- tive of the artist "'to see what the world is trying to say." He said the gallery is an at- tempt to 'arouse the soul' of the individual to create, which he says is one of man's great- est achievements. '"'We don't want copies of other soul- searching works -- we want the real stuff -- originals that wiil make the artist proud to be a creator,' said the artist-organ- izer. A work team of artists is still redecorating the oblong gallery. Through their public relations officer Charles T. Morey, professor of studio arts at Uni- versity of Toronto, artists ex- press strong optimism about future development and expan- sion. Mr. Morey said he fore- sees the gallery as an: intre- gral part of Oshawa's society and also envisages a need for an enlarged gallery showroom. Consumers Group Called More Necessary Than Ever The Consumers Association of Canada is a more necessary body than ever, now that the government is setting up a de- . partment of consumer affairs, said Mrs, C. M. Barrick, provin- cial vice-president of the Con- sumers Association of Canada. Mrs. Barrick was guest speak- er at the annual meeting of the Oshawa branch of the Con- sumers Association of Canada, held at E. A. Lovell school. "The CAC can serve as a two- way communication channel," Mrs, Barrick said. "We can ask the department to prepare the public with such things as a more comprehensible food in- dex and explanatory reasons why food prices go up. "World conditions as well as regional and seasonal conditions all have an effect on our food food costs," Mrs. Barrick said. "A department of consumer affairs could also provide a forum for discussion between the consumer, the 'middle-man' and the producer," she said. "CAC's concern is to ensure that there is not too big a price spread between what the pro- ducer receives and what the consumer pays. ""Our association needs to ask the provincial government to scrutinize marketing boards, who have a great deal to do with to make certain that a knowl- edgeable and responsible person is appointed by the CAC." YOUTH EDUCATION "Another important direction for the CAC to follow is the field of youth education," Mrs. Bar- rick said. 'A course on the 'Economic. Facts of Life' is now being taught to Grades 9, 10 and 11 in the United States and has met with huge success. Could not something similar be incor- porated into our curriculum?" Mrs. Barrick asked. "Young people going out into the world of a confused market place need to know how and why to save, laws that affect your dollar when you pay $1 down and $1 a month. Also the door- to-door salesman and his entic- ing contracts should be more fully explained," she said. "The CAC feels it is important that education of the youth should also include such ex- Planations as mortgages and contracts relating to buying and selling of homes and also nutrition, versus likes and dis- likes in food buying," she said. "The association knows that the home économic course in our high schools deals with a considerable amount of these problems, but what about the boys and the girls who do not have room in their busy sched- ule for the home economics our food prices," she said. 'Also option," Mrs. Barrick asked, One of the most spectacular feats being planned by show organizers for the 3,500 people expected, is the formation of the Canadian centennial sym- bol on the 60-foot by 40-foot stage. As the performance pro- gresses, 20 primary school chil- dren will mount the stage in pomp and ceremony, carrying provincial flags and emblems, and will place the flags in designated spots to form a colorful duplicate of the famed centennial symbol. A 20-minute gymnastic show of tumbling, spring diving, horse and box manouvers, will be staged by grade seven and eight students. ENTHUSIASM Everybody certainly is en- thused," said Mr. Morris. "'We're experiencing a sell-out although there are still some adult tickets left. Mr. Morris said the program is helping pupils to learn more about their country. "A lot of people don't know or have forgotten what their emblem, provincial crest and flag looks like," he said. Settings for the skits between choir performances have taken on a very important role. A 16- foot sail boat will be brought in for the Quebec setting and children have worked many spare hours making props and backgrounds. "It's an experience all who attend, will remember," the director said. Chiefs' Brief Comment Held City Police Chief Walter Johnston said today he could not honestly and fairly com- ment on a brief sented by the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs to a federal in- quiry on the administration of justice. "I didn't attend the meet- ing," Chief Johnston said. "I have heard however, com- ments from people who were there, that the information in the newspapers was taken. out of context." He said he could make no comment until he read the en- tire brief. "I myself read three news- paper accounts of the brief and couldn't feel satisfied that they were 100 per cent in agreement with each other." The brief seeks the right to search homes without warrants and to jail people without fil- ing charges. It also recom- mends the right of disclosure of conversation between accused persons and court appointed counsellors. These are among 10 specific Criminal Code amendments urged by the police chiefs' association. Police Autos Cost $14,000 Board of control has ap- proved the proposed purchase of 11 police cars for about $14,000 (gross price) and 10 other cars or trucks at about $30,300 for various city hall departments. 2 Total cost of the vehicles-- about $44,300 (gross) -- is cal- culated by taking account of trade-in values, Recommenda- tions for the buys came from city purchasing agent, W. J. Crompton. City council has yet to ap- prove the expenditures. Purchase prices mentioned in a Times' story Thursday were not correct. 900 Scouts, Cubs Expected At Confederation Camporee About 500 scouts and cubs will attend the fourth annual Osh- awa District Council Camporee, May 12, for a weekend of games and camping. Publicity director for the camporee, Ernest R. Jukes, says cubs and scouts from as far east as Courtice, west to Whitby and as far north as Columbus, will attend. "This year's camporee is based on the theme "Confedera- tion," said Mr. Jukes. "The camp will be broken up into five time segments from 1867 to 1967. Each sub camp, as they are called, will portray a different era over the past 100 years. "The camp is intended to be a fun camp as well as a serious one," he said. On the serious side, the Osh- awa fire department will pre- sent an educational program on fire safety. Games of all types will be played by individuals against each other and different camps will pit their skill against the other. Winners will receive points. The sub camp and indi- viduals who have compiled the most amount of points at the end of camp will receive tro- phies and prizes. "Camp will include such well- know games as 'hng the camp chief,' 'burn the string,' 'blind trail,' 'tracking,' and many other games that make camp life so much fun," said Mr. Jukes. Registration for the camp will end Friday evening. No cars will be allowed on the camp area Man Given Kidney, Dies In Hospital OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1967 George Drury, 28, of Toronto, |who received a kidney from an |Oshawa man_ killed | accident last January 21, died i |Toronto Western Hospital, Apri in @ cor 18, hospital officials said yester- day. Mr. Drury, received a kidney from Charles Lynch, 38, an Osh- awa goldsmith who died in a one-car accident in the Darling- ton Township area.

Norman Long, 32, a civil en- gineer also received a kidney from Mr. Lynch. Mr. Long re- mains in fair condition but uses an artificial kidney machine.
