Drivers of motor vehicles who parked for any length of time had to chip ice from their windshields. When the temperature rose snow be- gan to fall adding to the hazards of icy streets. The con- ditions facing many drivers are tllustrated by this picture of a number of parked automobiles. --Oshawa Times Photo Labor Body Advances Unemployment Plan .

Rutherford, in dealing with federal publicity efforts to stimu- eral government has spent more on its "Do it Now" advertising than creating jobs." He indicated relief figures in| Oshawa compared with last year employment even neighbors are unemployed." "I would suggest the Tories dust off some of their election promises and take steps to im- plement them," he added.

Ask Change In Bylaw On Aerials City council is to be asked by the planning board to amend a zoning bylaw which would allow communal television aerials, no higher than 100 feet, to be erected in the city. Even if council agrees, the amendment would be subject to Ontario Municipal Board ratifica- tion. The municipal board on Jan. 16 allowed an appeal by the On- ' |lic and will run from 9 a.m, to zens to attend the forum. A motion to have 500 tickets printed was approved. The forum will be open to the general pub- 4.30 p.m. In its report, the PAC commit- tee strassed: "It is of vital im- portance that other segments of our local society should be repre- sented in the discussions. We seek the views of the politically- uncommitted outside of labor who are dissatisfied with the present top-heavy political set-up in Can- ada. MANY ALARMED '"We realize that many people outside trade unions are alarmed that big business should exert such a tremendous influence in politics and that the representa- tion of the small businessman, farmer and ordinary citizen is so scanty, "To this end delegates can as- sist by personal approach or by submitting addresses of clergy. men, people in the professions, women's organizations and others who may display interest in our discussions."

On the still undecided fate of Stating Local 1255 was pre- pared to move in any direction necessary, Mr. Windover said the next move was up to Oshawa City Council. He added: "I can't see any- thing but that it will eventually have to come up to the people for a vote." The labor council municipal committee was directed to study the proposal of a new university with a view of requesting the government to erect such a uni- versity in Oshawa. PERMANENT PENSIONS A motion to send a letter to the federal government, requesting old age pensions be made per- manent for people who had re- turned to their homelands, was approved, It was pointed out by W. Rutherford that many retired people had returned to their home countries and had Canadian old age pensions cut off after six months He felt since the people had worked in Canada they had earn- ed the pension. Mr. Rutherford ncted that Britons coming to Can- ada had pensions continued while we did not reciprocate in this matter, The Oshawa unit of Teamster Local 880, numbering approxi- mately 250 members, was admit- ted to district labor council mem- the Oshawa transit system, D. bership.

Of Punishment Mr, Justice King told the gath- ering that deciding whether a man is guilty or not crime is not the part of a mos! is deciding a sentence. "He has to decide not one thing, but several, in passing sentence," he said. "He must consider the effect of the sen- tence in possibly reforming the criminal, the deterrent effect to others, the effect, though per- haps less, of punishment, and his duty to the community to make sure that those who commit crimes are not free to do so." HAPPY SITUATION Noting that there were no crim- inal cases on the docket for the current Ontario Supreme Court sessions in Whitby, His Lordship said: "This is a happy situation. W. W. H.

It seems to me that a civiliza- tion can be best judged by the efficiency and the administration of its criminal justice." Concluding, His Lordship spoke on juvenile delinquency. "I feel that in a group sucn as yours, a great deal of good can be done in the "prevention of juvenile crime," he said. "It is not hard to say of a child, 'He's headed for serious trouble if he goes on like this' -- a group such as this, as a group, or individually, can do much for young children through the use of tact and diplomacy."

The devo- tional service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. James Mac- Knight assisted by Allan Christie. A most encouraging report was given by the minister. It showed a number of new families have become associated with the church and a goodly number of young and older folk became members during the year. The financial report showed total receipts for the year of $15,126.81. The Sunday School attendance showed a marked increase from an average of 75 to approximate- ly 110 per Sunday. Attendance at both morning and evening ser- vices also showed a good in- crease. Services are being held in the Masonic Temple until the new church building is erected.
