Oshawa Boys' Club By DON CROSS] Times Gazette Staff EX ier Organization of an Oshawa Po- ce Association boys' club is now its primary s Age, 1d director of Hall le Norman re pee dem of the Oshawa Police , Jointly announced today. The Police association will provide equipm instruc for the hag club which will hold Eas & sports and hobby sessions at Simcoe Hall recreation room. ' Funds from the annual police games and other money - raising campagns will be used to buy the needed equipment. One of the reasons the Oshawa Police Assoniation 1 is contributing its efforts for instruction of young- rs is to cement the friendly re- hip between Hg youth and members of the local police force, Mr. Smyth explained that often young -boys, for some un- known reason, fear and are suspi- cious of police officers. There is no reason for that, he pointed out, as all all otticers on the local force are willing to assist them as much as postiple in ny problem. A police s' club one way to show Joungsters the officers" intentions, Mr. McNeill, who has offered his fullest co-operation to the 'associa- tion, said the formation of such a club would lower the juvenile de- linquency rate considerably, as shown by progress of clubs in To- ronto, Montreal and Guelph. If supervision ey provided for boys in Oshawa, h ted, many hours of proffabe oyment could be ured veral police officers have of- fered their talents for the project. Sgt.

If there are enough interested, the sergeant will form a pipe band, Summer months will see the policemen's boys' club in full ac- tion on ballfields. Police officers will coach, referee and naturally -- quell disputes after the games. Members of the wa Police Association have one, solid motive -- to let the bye of Oshawa know that the men in blue do not want to arrest them, but to help make good citizens who realize that an officer's duty is to enforce the law | of the country. All Oshawa boys are welcome to join the club which will announce its opening meeting in the near future. The project will not override other activities at Simcoe Hall, Constable Smythe emphasized. An agreement between the Oshawa Police Association and Simcoe Hall meets both organization's interests. Mr, McNeill would like to see youth of Oshawa have the present- ly lacking competent instruction and the police will give many 'of biel spare hours to the younger set FLOOD FUND Half Way Mark Reached In Drive Oshawa's fund to aid European est list of contributors this morn- flood victims has now gone over $12,400, which is the equivalent of more than 25 cents from every person in the city, "But contributions are still ur- gently needed so that we can send money over to Europe as soon as possible to relieve the distress," said Mayor Jack Naylor, who in- augurated the fund, this morning. "The response so far has been ex- |N cellent but we should all make one tremendous last spurt." Sunday night's show which was sponsored by the Kinsmen Club raised $692 in cash donations at the door in addition to the many cheques which were handed into the concert organizers for the col- lection.

That was the warning given at a meeting of the city planning board held last night. Board members had to consider a long list.of pros- pective subdivisions in arious parts of the city, It was decided to recommend to city council that seven cut of 12 of applications be granted. In the seven approved sub- divisions there are more than 70 house lots. Planning, engineering and assess ment officials explained the sible problems a subdivider could come across. A land-owner had to bear the cost of surveying and of grading and gravelling roads in and abutting the subdivision. After that the owner, even if he got city approval, might not be able to: sell his lots and he would be taxed on a lot basis until he did get rid of the land. "So the landowners should be sure that they are in a position where they can sell their lots be- fore they take the jump and sub- divide," warned Norman Millman, chairman of the ard. Another factor was the obtaining of money from the loan companies which fav- ored advances on large areas with services rather than on small areas. People who wanted to buy lots were also given advice by board members. The advice was -- "be careful." Cases have arisen where people have bought lots and have been unable to obtain building per- mits to erect houses.

Conversely, others expressed be- lief no announcement would have been made at this time unless there were signs Stalin was on the mend. The announcement spoke of Stalin's "temporary withdrawal" from leadership of the Soviet Un- ion and the Communist party.

George M. Malenkov, a ruthless | follower of Stalin's methods, has been mentioned most prominently in the West in the last year as the probable successor, but there is always a chance that other fig- ures such as V.

Should the miracle occur he is doomed to a life of paralysis. Doctors said it seemed clear that he had suffered a stroke of apop- lexy caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the brain. If a large vessel has been affect- ed, death often follows within a short period. Even where some re- covery seems to take place, the nu- trition of the brain is so impaired that a recurrence of a haemorrhage is likely. The danger of life in- creases with each attack. One specialist estimated Stalin's life expectancy at "a few hours," another at a maximum of two days. They said that if he did re- cover, it was unlikely he would be able to speak again or use his by limbs properly. Less Than 48 Hours Left He added that Stalin would not die until the blood burst in the middle of the brain. "The fact that he is breathing fast and with long pauses shows that vital centres of the brain are being severely tested," he said. "Stalin obviously has had a big and progressive haemorrhage. I should imagine that his doctors are just trying to keep him alive as long as they can. "But, I should think he would die during the day if he is not already dead." A world-famous physician who has treated 'royalty said "the prog- nosis is grave, and Stalin's condi- tion is obviously very serious. First there is the blcod pressure. Then his respiration is up to an amount that suggests he probably has got some heart failure causing conges- tion of the base of the lung."

On Monday evening, the first night for this venture, the members of the Oshawa Police Department and the boys attend- ing Simcoe Hall were introduced and spent considerable time talk- ing over the activities that will be going on in the building. | Stalin ~ recurrence of gastric trouble, |Hint Struggle For Control , With Death Of Iron Fist From The Times-Gazette News Services MOSCOW--Attention of the whole world 'was focussed on Moscow today following the brief announcement of the grave illness of Premier Joseph Stalin and a welter of un- confirmed reports filtering from behind the Iron Curtain that the leader of the Russian 'peoples had died.

It is striking that the news of 's illness and treatment comes barely two months after the Soviet Union's announcement of a purge of physicians. In January Moscow disclosed the arrest of nine physicians, some of them with western espionage and zion- ism. The announcement said they had faultily treated A. A. Zhdanov, one of the earlier heirs apparent to Stalin's mantle, and caused his death in 1948 at the age of 52.
