Sikorski Polish Veterans' As- sociation in Oshawa will take place Saturday, June 17. The new ceremony will take lace on the association's farm- and on Stevenson's road north, where the new hall will be lo- cated. The Polish veterans have had|. no hall or headquarters of their own, All meetings and activi- ties have been conducted in one or other of the three Polish halls. Preliminary plans to build a hall started as early as 1962. There were many problems and difficulties to be overcome, but plans are completed, the per- mit issued and the builders ready to begin construction this month The Gen. W. Sikorski Polish Veterans' Association is a sen- ior organization among the var- ious groups which make up ish origin here. They work closely with other veterans' as- sociations, namely the Ontar- io Regiment Association, Royal Canadian Legion, Canaidan Corps, the Naval Vets and the Air Force Association, and also the Ontario Regiment RCAC. The group began in 1933 with a handful of First World War veterans, Today the association is chartered, and is more than 100 strong. They are mem- bers of The United Council of Veterans' Associations, and en- joy a healthy comradeship with their fellow veteran groups. The land on Stevenson's- Rd. which belongs to the Polsih Veterans, extends to some 86 acres. The sod - turning cere- mony will take place at 5:30 p.m. and will be followed by a social gathering in the pic- nic area, Many civic and gov- ernmental dignitaries have been invited, and all members of service organizations, Polish groups, and the public at large the Canadian citizenry of Pol- are welcome. School Board, Teachers Have No Agreement Yet June 29, the end of the school year, is only a little more than two weeks away but the Oshawa Board of Education and its teachers have not yet reached & wage agreement. The May 31 teacher resigna- tion deadline passed quietly. The next significant date seems to be June 29, although Wil- mur Hill, chairman of the teach- ers bargaining committee, said that in. the past 'settlements tember - but this gives the board a definate advantage" Both Mr.- Hill and Stanley E. Lovell, chairman of the board, have indicated they would like to reach a settlement before June 29, but no meetings be- tween the two and both speak of reaching an amicable settle- ment within the next two weeks. The board and teachers have used the term "within the next two weeks" several times dur- ters, correspond and other relics dating in many cases into the last century. GLORIOUS HISTORY In the minister's Centennial message to his congregation, he said, "A Centennial, whether of a nation or a church can be good or bad. It is good. if the past conveys its message to the present in terms of incen- tive, spurring us on to worthier investment and committment of ourselves. It is bad if the halo with which we crown "'by- gones" blinds us to the ever- widening opportunities and needs of the future... the past history of Simcoe Street Church is glorious enough to point unerringly the direction we must go, and provide the incentive to drive forward to- ward those goals.' "The years that lie before us," said Mr. Moffat, "can be the greatest this church has ever known, if we awaken our personal responsibilities and gladly assume them." A color guard of cubs and scouts took part in the service, together with the General Motors Pipe Band. LUNCHEON GUEST After the service, the Lieu- -|at Pioneer Memorial Gardens, tenant-Governor was the lunch- eon guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stan- ley E. Lovell, at their Simcoe Street tome.
