Major J. Warnica, second- in-command, stated that over 90 per cent of this year's training will be devoted to National Sur- vival, the new name for Civil De- fence. The responsibility and execu tive control for survival in the event of a nuclear attack has been given over to the Army be- cause of the present disorganiza- tion of the civilian groups and the complexity of the task. In the light of the changed assignment for the militia, the department of national defence has ordered that all heavy weapons such as role| vices for this purpose are being|structure of issued to the local regim- and should arrive soon EFFECTS OF BOMB If a large metropolitan area such as Toronto received a di-| |rect nuclear hit by a 20 megaton | explosion (equivalent to 30,000,000 tons of TNT) the whole area would be wiped out according to the Civil Defence Notebook print- |ed recently in Ottawa. However, a lesser powerful bomb or a near miss would mean a considerable | number of survivors, many of them seriously injured. In these circumstances the army will be vital in rescuing these survivors, giving them first aid and re- moving them from further danger, In the Hiroshima explosjon 85 per cent of the casualties were tanks and artillery be recalled.

WORKING TEAM The actual working team would be approximately 10 people with a group leader. In the case of the Ontario Regiment, which Is an armored corps, this group could be compared to a tank crew. There would still be the chain of command from the Com- manding officer to the squadrons which would further delegate authority to the troops. Each troop would contain approximate- ly four small groups or tank crews.

Rotarian Al.

'Use School The Presbyterian Church in Canada will be allowed to hold Adelaide McLaug Sunday mornings, the Oshawa Board of Education decided at a meeting Monday night. The church has agreed that it will use the building only from 9.30 am. + 12.30 p.m. on Sunday with a half -hour extension on Carisma Day and Easter Sun- ay. Trustee G. K. Drynan, who was appointed by the board to re- port on the use of the school by the church, said that it was un- derstood by the minister that per- mission had only been granted for a year, . 3 Trustee M. Brown, who voted against the motion, said he could support the use of public school buildings for Sunday School classes but not for church ser- vices, "This might create a precedent. 1 can't help thinking that we will be faced with other requests of| this kind," he said.

The car was parked on With the co-operation of the CRA students representing the three Oshawa High Schools have organized "The Castle Jazz Club" which will open Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. at the CRA on Gibb street. The decor of the room wil! attempt to convey the atmosphere of a eastle, hence the name of the club. The club's policy will be to present good live jazz in a pleasant surround- 8. Up to this time, it has been practically impossible for the youth in this area to hear and watch live jazz, because a large percentage of the jazz presented in Toronto is at fhe night clubs, the exceptions being the con- certs held at auditoriums and Massey Hall, The "Castle" will be open to all age groups, whether they prefer to dance or just sit and listen, The room will have soft, low lights, wiih tables set around the dancing area. The club hopes that this will stimulate a genuine interest in jazz and encourage persons who may possess creative musical tal- ents to develop their abilities, and become active in music. Al- though jazz is reaching a wider audience today through tele- vision, radio, motion pictures and concert performances, there still exists a general lack of understanding. Jazz, like classi- cal music, is a serious art, and the musician working in jazz to- day must possess the technical skill to be able to cope with the advances made in the music field. Many jazz men have at- tended the leading conservator- fes, such as Julliard, Berklee, ete. Bud Hill, trombonist and lead-| er of the group, who will open the club Oct, 27, has been teach- ing music for the past seven years, the last two at Central Technical School in Toronto and| holds his ARCT and BA. Lloyd Orchard, tenor sax man with Bud, is now in his third year at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, studying for his Mus. Bach. Lloyd has studied counter- point and harmony under the guidance of one of Canada's lead- ing instructors, Gordon Dela- mont. Also appearing will be Englishmen bassist, Eddie King and planist Jan Barge. Rounding out the rhythm section on drums, from Australia, is Des. Egan. h The staff at the Oshawa CRA headquarters, Gibb street, is pre- paring for the busiest winter sea- son ever, Established classes are being continued and rejuvenated, new classes are to be started, and more than 60 independent and semi-independent groups will be using the facilities of the CRA4 hall this fall and winter, Wendell Brewster, CRA direc- tor, said Monday that he antici- pates more people will flock to the Gibb street building this year than ever before. In the adult art classes alone, 23 persons are al- ready enrolled.

N. A, Sisco, principal of the Accused Is Sent Home By Court Arrested for stealing money from milk bottles and because his sisier, in Oshawa, can't af- ford to keep him and his brother in Sudbury can't either, 16-year- old Glen Mason was sent back to his home in Bedford, N.S., Monday, Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs gave 'Mason a three - month suspended sentence when he appeared In court on the theft charge. A train ticket to Nova Scotia was ar- ranged through the city welfare department, "It's cheaper to send him home than keep him here," an official remarked. Up for sentence last Friday, Mason left when court adjourned for lunch. He didn't return at 2 pm, He said he didn't under- stand what was going on. While waiting for arrangements in court, Monday, the magistrate said, pointedly, to the boy: "Don't go away this time." Thieves Remove Goods From Cars Thefts from two cars, in the King St. and Mary St. area, were reported to the Oshawa Police Department Monday night.

The park is on Mount Desert Island in the State of Maine. While this state is only 300 miles long, its coastline, if straighten- ed out, would stretch from New Brunswick to Florida, Mr, Tozer's pictures showed many breath-takingly beautiful scenes of this rugged coast with its roaring surf in all its moods, raging and calm, fogbound and brilliant. Pictures of Cadillac Mountain and Soames Sound, the only real fiord on the east coast of Amer- ica, contrasted with many hard- to-get shots of the unbelievably lovely mussels and barnacles, erabs and starfish, sea lettuce and bladderweed. Many of these were taken when the tide had re- treated seaward leaving quiet pools for the scant hour before it comes rushing back to cover these interesting occupants of the sea and to catch an unwary photographer.
