The president of the associa- tion, Judge F. J. MacRae, thanked the many members of the grou who had done valuable ground- work for the campaign, and wish- ed the canvassers the best of luck in their efforts to secure an excel- lent concert series next season by their sales this week of their full quota of memberships in the Com- munity Concerts Association. The chairman then introduced the campaign manager, the Rev. S. C. H, Atkinson, who explained the use of the membership kit and urged every canvasser to report his' or her daily total of subscrip- tions either by telephone to or by visiting campaign head- uarters at the Royal Bank, where 4 to 6 p.m. daily. The campaign will definitely closé at noon on Saturday, said Mr. Atkinson, Miss Christine McKeown, repre- sentative from the New York head- quarters of the association, gave her blessing to the campaign, call- ing it "a community enterprise through individual effort," whic helped establish artists in the con- cert field by assuring them 25 years of continued activity in their chosen line, and also "lifted the cloak of anonymity from many promising young artists," giving them a chance to make a name for themselves on the Canadian- American concert circuit. She cited the fact that there had been more concert than baseball admissions sold last year, but add- ed, rather grimly, that the *"pop- corn industry" was still quite far ahead of both of those attractions. With approval, = Miss McKeown uoted critic Olin Downes' dictum at concert programs are artistic entertainment, and that the public does not come to be educated. The quality of the artists available to shawa audiences was limited only by the number of memberships which could be sold locally, in this case governed by the 600-seat ca- pacity of the UAW Auditorium used for the concerts. Judge MacRae greeted head table guests including Harold Bark- er, Mrs. A. S. Whattam, Mrs. A. A. Crowle, Mrs, J. A. Aldwinckle, Miss McKeown, Mrs. Leonard Wakeford, Mr. and Mrs.Herman Pincombe and Mr. Atkinson, and expressed appreciation to direc- tors Mrs. T. K. Creighton, Mrs. T. D.

Disagree On = Way To Get Heart Money TORONTO (CP)--The Ontario Heart Foundation and the pro- vincial health department were re- ported Monday night to be in dis- agreement over the method to be used in obtaining financial assis- tance for the foundation's work. The foundation, composed both doctors and laymen, was or- anized direct assistance in eart disease research and to rec- ommend approved treatment meth- s. The foundation members were said to feel that much research has to be done before a fund-raising or- ganization should be created such as the ones existing in the cancer, polio and other health fields. The association approached the provincial government and sugges- ted that $100,000 in federal grants be sought by the Ontario health department to be used solely for research. It also suggested that the provincial government match this amount, providing funds for co- ordinating the knowledge from the research, seeking information from other research projects and inform- ing the medical profession of the progress. Health Minister McKinnon Phil- lips has endorsed the foundation's aims but has told the organization that until it is set up along lines of the Ontario cancer body no gov- ernment funds can be expected.

OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gezette and Chronicle THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 99 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1953 PAGE THREE "The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary association of citizens to promote the commercial, indus- trial, agricultural and civic wel- fare of your community," com- mented President Hayden Mac- donald, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, in a short address at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club yes- terday. Mr. Macdonald made a point of stressing the fine work being done by the officers and members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Oshawa and laid special empha- sis upon the success which attend- ed the Home Builders' and Fur- nishings Fair at the Oshawa Arena last week. Don Brown, president of the Jay- cees and Roy Smith, fair chair- man, were 'accorded a well merit- ed round of applause when they were introduced to the members of the club. It was inted out that the Chamber of Commerce had been a worthwhile endeavor since its in- ception in Oshawa some years ago. This year new impetus will be given to its work by the laying Su a 28-point program of ac- on, One of the projects being spon- sored by the Chamber is the establishment of a wild life con- ° Work Of Chamber Address Theme servation area south-east of Port Perry. It was felt by working with chambers in the district, local business men could convince gov- ernment authorities of the need for suc an area, The idea is being taken up by the business men of Port Perry, who under the sponsorship of the local chamber, are planning to establish a unit of the chamber in the Lake Scugog area. A group of Port Perry business men will at- tend a meeting of the Oshawa chamber in the near future. Regarding the chamber and its work, Mr. Macdonald said there were two schools of thought re- garding the annual grant from the city. One group felt the cham- ber should get along without aid from the corporation. At the same time the chamber's secretary-man- ager is now performing the duties of industrial commissioner and as such acting as a representative of the city. If the city had its own industrial commissioner it would cost the city much more to carry out this work. Mr. Macdonald voiced the opin- ion that the chamber is a clearing house for ideas and thoughts on civic improvement. It was his be- lief that the chamber should rep- resent all groups of citizens and should not represent any particu- lar group. . Service Club Enjoys Music Program As part of its observance of Boys' and Girls' Week, the Oshawa Rotary Club at its luncheon meet- ing yesterday had the privilege of listening to a musical program provided by the pupils of tffe Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational Institute under the direction of Richard Schroeder. The orchestra played prior to the luncheon and later in the meeting presented a trio of well known semi classical numbers which delighted the large gather- ing and won a sincere round of hearty applause. Also contributing to the program was Miss Mary Frances Ebbs whose solos were most pleasing. The appreciation of the club to Mr. Schroeder and the members of the orchestra was voiced by President Walter Branch.
