I "shall always encourage, these are the objectives toward which we shall ever struggle, to the end that in some distant day they may per- meate the hearts and minds of all men everywhere and bring about a new day in which men shall beat their swords into plowshares and thoughts of hate, and greed and power shall give way to thoughts of kindness, generosity and toler- ance, that we, in truth, may be come instruments of His peace, and where there is hatred, we may sow love; where there is in- jury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is des- pair, hope; where there is dark- ness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

BIG DRAW TONIGHT And while the Legion members will hope for continued good weath- er and another big night, everyone else will continue to pin all their hopes on winning the two-toned Chevrolet sedan in the big draw tonight. At least one person who will not be hoping quite so hard is Tom Saxby, 345 Verdon Road who won a clock radio set as one of the special attendance prizes. At least 26 other tickets were drawn first, but the holders were not there to claim the prize. The Legion officials kept trying to find winners for the other two clock-radios, but, try as they might, they couldn't pull the name of a person who was on the grounds. Finally, at midnight, it was agreed to donate the other two prizes to Sunnybrook Hospital. big as 'twas All of the tickets drawn were returned to the cage of course, including Tom Saxby's, so that | everyone will have a chance at the {grand prize tonight. The winning ticket for the car will be drawn by Mayor Jack Naylor. After all the shuffling and re- shuffling of last night, now at least, no one can say the tickets | were not mixed thoroughly enough. | | LARGELY ATTENDED i It wasn't official but for all prac- | tical purposes, Centre Street was: Legion Street 'ust for last night. | | Scores of people thronged the booths. Here, kids licked at candy | floss. Three adults played Bingo. Elsewhere both of them tossed pen- nies and played '"'at ole hoopla". There was the tick of roulette wheels and the whirr of the re- volving cage-drum containing the draw tickets. Earnest entreaties to "win a blanket" or to yourself a basket of fruit" mingled with the throb of dance music or the lively pulse of a square dance. . And above all, through all and in all came the voice of the an- nouncer. who, from the vantage | point of the car booth, kept up a steady run of chatter. The only feature that seemed to lack attention last night was the | street dance (at just 25¢ each too). Very few took advantage of this | | opportunity. Guess all the oppor- tunists were busy at the Crown 'and Anchor booth. 'Canadians Best Trained, Dressed Just back from Korean 334 Drew Street intends to good time for a while. waters, Ronald Rice, 19, of just loaf around and have a After five months of seaman's duty on HMCS Crusader, Ron arrived home Thursday on a 44-day leave. NO COMPLANTS Canada was about the same as he expected he said, and as for navy life he had no complaints there either. 'Canadians are better equipped and better trained than any other outfit over there," he said. "They're better paid than the Americans," he added. "And our uniforms are made from the best of cloth -- in the navy any- way." One of the highlights of his Kor- ean term was a two-day visit in Tokyo. The houses there are very small, be recalled and made of bamboo and other woven mater- "get | The rickshaws are pulled by mo- torbikes, he said. They travel along streets that are crowded with peo- ple and cars. The Japanese manu- facture three or four of the small- er amakes of cars themselves. In addition, such models as the Chev- rolet, Pontiac and the Ford ar. imported. PRICES NOT BAD The prices in Japan are not bad, Ron said, only everything is lated into yen -- 360 yen to $1.00. The climate there is about the same as that of British Columbia, he thought. On the Crusader, the crew's job depended on which coast they were patrolling. Along the east coast their assignment was mostly shore bombardment. On the west coast their primary duty was to keep a lookout for co hist guerilla junks that might be trying to sneak down to South Korea. However, most of the junks they encounter- ed, Ron said, were engaged in smuggling, another thing The Cru- sader hand to watch for. It was February 25, one and half years after he joined up that Ron left Canada. He flew to Kure, Japan, where he boarded The Crusader, It's the only ship on ac- tive duty now that has a 4.5 inch gun, he says. That's the heaviest there is on a destroyer. When his ship docked at Esqui- malt last week, Ron took a ferry to Vancouver and came the rest of the way to Oshawa by train. With three years of his navy term left, Ron has no idea of what's in store for him. At the "end of his leave he returns to his homebase at Naden, B.C. after that it's just a case of wait and see.

(CP)-- Gold brick No. 1,000 was poured in late June at the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company's mine here. The event was of historic inter- est.

The two boys are doing a lot of "last-minute" packing and prepar- ing for this exciting trip, that will take them through France, Swit- zerland, and Great Britain, before their return home. The boys will have about 10 days free time while overseas and this time has been rigorously scheduled to en- sure the maximum of sight ng and visiting. he Fifth World Rover Moot will be held at Kandersteg Chalet, in Switzerland, the home of the International Boy Scout Associa- tion. The c ite is surrounded by the Swiss Alps, and provides an ideal meeting spot for Rover Scouts from all over the world. During their stay in Switzerland, the Oshawa Rovers will have a chance of seeing at close hand, the Swiss people, and visiting numer- ous historical and scenic sites that are famous the world over. As the Rover Motto is '"'Service" the Oshawa Rovers will join with their brothers in an act of clearing the devastation caused by avalanch- es. This work normally takes many months on the part of the Swiss farmers, but with the help of so many Rovers, the work will prob- ably only take one or two days. Oshawa Scouting wishes them the best of a bon voyage on their new adventure, and is looking for- ward to an interesting report on Rovering overseas. see- \ The town of Heidenheim in Ger- many was once an ancient Roman settlement. 3 Attention Motorists !
