A 100-voice choir, plus or- chestra,, caught the spirit of Folk Festival Week at opening ceremonies last night at the Civic Auditorium. Choir members, recruited from many city churches, and frchestra members from the Oshawa Symphony and other local groups, performed under the direction of F. Alan Reesor, M. Mus. The week of activities were officially opened by Mcintyre Hood, former Oshawa Times editor and provincial govern- ment official. Now retired, Mr. Hood returned to Canada from his home in Scotland for the ceremony. CITY GROWN UP "Oshawa has grown up," said Mr. Hood, '"'and its Festival Week in honor of Canada's Cen- tennial year, I am quite sure, will not be outdone by any com- munity of comparable size in Canada." "We are indeed a fortunate people to be able to live in a Jand which has been so richly blessed with material wealth," said Mr. Hood. "'As we go on to celebrate 100 years of nation- hood, every citizen of this coun- try must be fully conscious of the great heritage that has been handed down to us by those who have gone before. "They have left a splendid accounting of their stewardship, and we of this generation must do no less," said Mr. Hood. EDUCATED Mrs. J. A. Aldwinckle, presi- dent and executive chairman of the festival, told the assem- bly that the participants in the festival had been "greatly edu- cated" by their efforts for the past seven years, and that more than 3,000 people are ex- pected to take part in the fes- tivities. "When we first thought of having a Folk Festival in Osh- awa," said Mrs. Aldwinckle, '"'it was a novel idea, with no other community having planned the same event." "Now," said Mrs. Aldwinckle, "more than 100 other commu- nities in Canada are planning the same type of festivities, and many have been referred to what Oshawa has done." At the Sunday opening, the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band played for 30 minutes he- fore the principal part of the evening's events. About 200 persons attended. Mayor Ernest Marks, QC, the Hon. Michael Starr, MP, and A. V. Walker, MPP, brought greetings from their respective governments, and the platform guests included Mgr. Paul Dwyer, of St. Greg- ory the Great Roman Catholic Pe ... SAYS GUEST SPEAKER Church, T. L. Wilson, publish- er of The Times, and Rabbi M. Kutiziner.

Superintendent for Konvey Construction, John Varga, says about 70 electricians and plumbers have not crossed pick- et lines in sympathy with the striking bricklayers. "The bricklayers have set up picket line outside the pro- ject today which I can't really understand," Mr. Varga said. "We do not have 'one brick- layer or cement finisher on the job. That part of the construc- tion was completed quite a while ago. "We had everything up to date and» could have complet- ed construction by July 15, the date set for finishing the pro- ject. "With the plumbers on strike for a week and now the brick- layers causing this friction - it doesn't took good. There is always the problem: that if the strike ended tomorrow, we wouldn't get everyone back on the job anyway," Mr. Varga added. i The bricklayers went on strike June 19, after conciliation meet- ings had failed. At the time they were asking for a $1 an hour package increase and an increase in vacation pay to 6 per cent from 4 per cent. Mel Goreski, chairman of the Strike Halts Construction At '67 Project Jabor relations committee for the Oshawa and District Con- struction Exchange says Local 20 was offered .75 cents an hour and an increase in vacation pay of five per cent on Nov. 1, 1967 and six per cent on May 1 of 1968. "This they refused," he said. "At that point they were asking for six per cent immediately," Mr. Goreski ad- ded. "We had three meetings with their conciliation officer on May 9, May 10 and March 30 - there has been no board decis- ion from the department of labor on the disputes. "The next thing that we heard was they had gone out on strike. We never did hear the decision of the members and their vote. "We had another meeting on June 21, after they had gone out on strike on June 19 at which there was no concili- ation officer at the meeting. "They opened this meeting by asking for $2 an hour over a two year period the meeting, they reduced this to $1.60 an hour," Mr. Goreski said. "These facts were presented the membership of the Oshawa and District Construction Ex- change and they of course re- jected -it." Business agent for the Brick- layers Union, Joe Kelleman was not available for comment.

Labor Protest Sent By Mail Letters protesting the lack of labor representation on advis- ory committees to Onatrio - Durham College have been sent to Albert Walker, MPP, and the Ontario Federation of Labor. The letters were sent by Keith Ross, secretary - treasurer of the Oshawa and District Labor Council when a letter Dr. Gord- on E. Willey president of the college, said he sent to Clifford Pilkey, president of ODLC, fail- ed to reach Mr. Ross. Dr. Willey said the letter in- vited the ODLC to suggest the names of men they would like on the advisory committees.
