Road to Park Road and from Louisa Street to the CPR tracks complete- ly wiped out was painted this week for the local civil defence course. "And that would only be the damage caused by the atom bomb perfected eight years ago," warn- ed the instructor. Cuch a bomb dropped on the Four Corners would make every building within a ra- dius of one-and-a-half miles unin- habitable. Oshawa is receiving high praise for its civil defence work. A course for instructors was started in Jan- uary with an enrolment of over 140. Attendance so.far has been better than perfect. At each of the three lectures the number present has gone higher. Thirty new members have since asked to join. "The course is snow-balling," says Thomas Hopkins, the local CD co-ordinator. The province's CD heads are delighted with the way Oshawans are responding. Jack Adams, the province's chief instructor, pays a call. every week 'as I am so pleased to see, in direct contrast to the usual small classes that dwindle off, a very large course of interested people that is continually growing." Mr. Hopkins says that the pres- ent world tension and public aware- ness of the crisis is probably help- ing the course's attendance. Even during the last war Oshawa was apathetic towards CD work and a course that was started a year ago produced only disappointing results. Planned for the future is a con- densed course to train local of- ficials, The next course for the studying instructors who will be the backbone of the warden and rescue services will be next Thurs- day fvening at North Simcoe chool. Bogus 'Tens' In Circulation A warning against counterfeit $10 bills has been issued by police of the province following the re- cent appearance of a number of the bills in Toronto. City police today released a list of serial numbers of bills known to be counterfeit. The first thing to look for if you are suspicious of a $10 bill, the warning states, is the signa- ture. Most of the legal bills now in circulation bear the signature of J. E. Coyne, deputy-governor of the Bank of Canada, in the lower left portion. If the bill bears the signature "Donald Gordon" it is an older bill and is possibly among the counterfeit ones now being circu- lated. City police said there has not beeri®any local report of counter- feit tens. They issued the follow- ing list of serial numbers as being those on known bogus bills: 0/D~--1724598.

CZECH LEADER (Continued from Page 1) office a year ago because of another illness, reported to be Burger's disease--an circulatory ailment which also affected the late King George VI of England. In Vienna, some Western diolo- mats speculated . that Gottwald's illness so soon after Stalin's was not entirely a coincidence. They felt Gottwald may have been in the process of being removed by M. Malenkcv as a too-opwerful sa- Russian Prime Minister Georgi tellite leader. Gottwald certainly had more chance than any other East Euro- pean dictator to pull a Tito on Malenkov. There are no Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia, although there are many Russian "experts" in civilian clothes.

Miss Lee will play a group of Miss Geraldine Lee To Play At Concert CENTRAL " CHATTER By PAT LOGEMAN For the second time in one year, Central Collegiate has a team in the Lakeshore finals. This fall, our junior football team, comprised mostly of boys new to high school football, was not defeated until it met Salt Fleet in the finals, the first time an Oshawa team had ever been so far in the football league. Last night when they defeated Cobourg in the second game of a total point series by 46-26, Central bantams won the play-off spot ver- sus Peterboro's Kenner Collegiate. Cobourg had won the previous game by five points on their home floor. High scorer for Central was Vaughan, a miniature dynamo with a good shot, raking up 14 points, while Radkowsky ruined a good many of the opposition's chances by magnificent guarding. Voege, Olynik, Tomas, Kolodzie, Payne, Goodall, Melnick and Horton all were playing beautifully, and even when faced by the entire second line, Cobourg was entirely outclass- ed. Actually, these playersseem to rely more on teamwork than the older teams where it's every man for himself and the ball-hog gets the basket. On the other hand. ban- tam basketball is noticeably slower and less aggressive. The second game of the night was between our rusty and junior- supplemented seniors and Park Lawn, Toronto. The game was fairly close throughout until the fourth quarter when Central caught up and the lead began see-sawing. Last heard, Central was ahead, 33-32. 4 The Golden Ball tournament held at Queen's University during East- er will see our senior team playing in the ""B" bracket, a spot in which they won year before last. Frank Varga is the only player still at Central who played with that team. Scheduled for Friday, March 20, is Yokum's Yodel, a western-hill- billy-Dogpatch-folk-square - modern dance, GAA sponsored. Taylor's band consisting of drummer, piano player, violinist and caller will play for both square and round dances, in a decidedly western flavor. Do- nuts and cider are the refresh- ments, while dress runs toward plaid shirts, jeans, cotion blouses and skirts, Yesterday the mixed badminton finals were postponed once more, this time because Linda Peters sprained her ankle at basketball and was not able to play.

(CP)--A survey made by the watershed conserva- tion authority recommends paying $15,000 for the purchase of 401 acres along the Elora gorge on the Grand river for use as a public ark. The assessed value of the and is $11,875. The recommended purchase price would apply to 312)2 acres of. privately-owned land. Acquisition of the Elora gorge as a public park will be the main item on the agenda when the con- servation watershed authority holds its annual meeting late this month. The report says the rorge has become increasingly popular with residents of the surrounding cities as a site for summer homes. would meet a fresh team that had not been playing. It's simple to see why the tournament was delayed another week. Concerning badminton, several girls are going to Bowmanville this afternoon for the Central Ontario doubles and singles championships. Good luck kids! It may seem next week that some of the customers will see strolling about the school are small even for Grade niners. They'll probably be the guests of the Grade 12 girls who are studying child psychology in their health course, and are having a party for the kindergarten set to find eut how they tick. Thursday afternoon was the first chance the girls had to test their uniforms "on the battlefield' of the basketball court, when they played Ontario Ladies' College. Junior players have a gold tunic with wine trim, while colors are reversed on the seniors'. If new uniforms affect the quality of olay, they did all right for Central's ego. Scores, both in Central's favor, were 30-8 in the senior tussle and 27-14 for the jun- iors. The real playing in these games was by Central guards who stuck to their opponents like second shad- ows and held them to low scores, also getting the ball to Central for- wards with leng, fast passes. After the games and a supper where they consumed mounds of sandwiches and donuts, the visting girls had a look 'round the school.

Several interested people are going to the nurses' open house this afternoon to find out the trials and 'troubles of "one of the oldest professions known to women", By WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM Canadian Press Staff Writer TORCNTO (CP) -- Thirty-one Canadian university students and eight university professors will go to India this summer for a major international seminar under the auspices of the Canadian branch of the World University Service. R. L. Mosher, secretary of World University Service, said they will attend a -week conf "ence deal- ing with human implications of technological planning. The group will leave Montreal about June 3. The conference will be followed by study tours of India, Pakistan, Burma, Malaya and Indonesia. The group will study the Colombo Plan and United Nations technical assis- tance projects. UNDER FORD GRANT The seminar is made possible by a $40,000 grant from the Ford Foun- dation in New York and is the prin- cipal project of the Canadian branch of 'the World University Sérvice. Travelling expenses will | be met by receipts from an exhjbi- |tion of Indians crafts in Canadian | universities. 2 | The exhibition, a combination display and sale, has so fur been {held only in Easter Caada; but already some $40,000. has bee raised of which $10,000 is available toward travel expeses. Plans for the exhibition originated in Montreal at the annual meet- ing of campus committees which govern the World University Ser- vice in Canada. Mrs. Ethel Mulvany, a Montrtal importer, offered to supply the handicrafts for almost cost price. She headed for India to buy more handicrafts. Her efforts attracted the attention of the wealthy Maha- rajah of Mysore. He presented to the organization two jewel caskets ~one of solid gold and silver worth about $28,000. Now they are feature items in the exhibition cur- rently being shown in Western Can- ada. ' ANCIENT CHESS SET Another valuable article is a 700- Jaro ivory chess set which once longed to Shah Jehan, beli orudf the famous Taj®Mahal. Items in the exhibition worth about $50,000 are for sale. India was chosen for this sum- mer"s seminar as conditions in that country are fairly character- istic of those in any of the coun- wries of Southeast Asia. The idea of summer seminars or- iginated In 1948, the first one fak- ing place in Germany, It was found at that time there was no organization providing substantial international contact for Canadian students and professors in axeas of internatioal importance. Sincet hat time, the World Uni- versity Service has organized sem- inars in Holland and France. In 1951, European and Asian students were brought to Canada for a sem- inar at Ottawa. In 1952, two groups of 'Canadians were sent to Europe-- Ford Grant Aids Students Attending India Seminar one studying in The Nttherlands and the other in Yugoslavia. Taking part in this summer's seminar will be three students from the University of Toronto and three from the University of Mont- real. Two students will go from each of the Universities of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Maniioba, McGiil and Laval. The following universities and col- leges will each send one delegate: Western, Queen's, Bishop's, New Brunswick, Mount Allison, Saint Francis Xavier, Dalhousie, Acadia, St. Mary's, L'Assumption, Carle- ton, St. Dunstan's and Prince of Wales. The candidates for the trip were selected by a panel of both stu- dents and faculty on the basis of academic qualifications, exira-cur- ricular activities and all-around general mental outlook.

Golds, however, didn't appear to believe the rumors. The exchange's indexes, which measure price trends, showed an average gain on the week of al- most two points for industrials, base metals and western oils, Golds dropped slightly more than two index points, Exponents of the spring-rise theory say that even a small gain of two points is significant in view of the adverse influence of inter- national events on the market, They point out that prices slioved after the announcement of Stalin's illness and also after news' of Western aircraft being shot down over Germany. Now that the market appears to have recovered from the "penny boom" more interest is likely to be displaved in investment rather than speculative stocks. During the boom, activity con- centrated on low-priced speculative issues. Between Jan. 5 and March 13, the index--messuring the move- ments of established stocks--drop- ped an average of 6.30 points.

TORONTO (CP)--The outdoor life is what the Canadian National Sportsman's Show stresses, but it also provides plenty of other at- tractions for those who like less rugged living. This combination has made the annual show at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition grounds an out- standing success in the past. . Exhibits in the biggest show of its kind in North America range all the way from prefabricated cot- tages and concrete sidewalks to thermos bottles. There are four sections of exhibits for the sports- men, with the latest equipment for outdoor activities, including fish- ing, hunting, boating and swim- ming. For the fishermen a feature this year is a hook which no doubt was developed for those who don't seem Lures Lure Public To Anglers Show % lucky enough to catch the big ones, The hook is cunningly concealed in a rabbit's' foot, + All types of boats are being! shown, from streamlined, custom-' built craft that travel 50 miles an hour to a skimboat which looks like a surfboard with an outboard motor attached.

Bathe Park Must Unite To Succeed In view of the fact that the pre- viously called annual meeting of the Bathe Park Neighborhood As- sociation was so poorly attended, the executive has decided to call another meeting which will be held in Ritson School auditorium on Wednesday, March 18, at 8 p.m. The executive stresses that un- less a great deal more interest is evidenced by residents of the park area the association will not be able to organize for the year. This will mean that unless there is an active association there will be no supervisors provided for the park. In turn this means there will bev no one to guide the play of the* children and no organized games; hikes or parties. a It is felt that this would be a most regretable situation as statis-; tics show more children attend.. Bathe Park each summer than any, other park in the city. For that reason the future of the park isq entirely up to residents of the. area. They must take an interest in the future of the associationy and turn out for the annual meets, i a] ing. td LONDON (CP)--One airline has@ computed the walking involved for<: a stewardess in supplying the needs of passengers on a round trip be-* tween Britain and Canada as 387 miles--within the confines of the- plane. a fe 25th YEAR {N CANADA 7 Ur CASH When bills pile up, get $50 to $1000 fast at Household Finance!
