NEW ATTRACTIONS The festival of international songs and dances to be held in the O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute auditorium, May 12, will include several new attractions, never seen be- fore in Oshawa, and in order to accommodate all those who wish to participate without sub- jecting the audience to an over- long production, two programs have been arranged. These will be of two-hour du- }ration approximately. Each will present costumed performers in choirs, teams of dancers and accomplished soloists, and the public is invited to see both programs. No tickets will be sold as the festival is a volun- tary effort, but a collection will be taken before each program to defray expenses. Her Worship Mayor Christine |Thomas has consented to open the festival and invitations have been sent to Oshawa City Coun- cil and department heads at City Hall. Invitations will go out later to presidents of all organ- izations and service clubs and to all new Canadians obtaining their citizenship this year. | COMMITTEE PRAISED | The mayor and council have congratulated the Folk Festival Jack Brough, president of the} cover a sign tacked to a tree in|committee on their sincere ef- weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, Tuesday at Hotel Genosha. Monday, April 30, is the date set by the Ontario County Unit of the Ontario Division of Cana- dian Cancer Society, for the an- nual door-to-door canvass, now well known as 'Cancer Blitz." Each year, members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, together with members of the Oshawa Canadian Order of Foresters group, join as volunteer con- vassers, to assist the Ontario County Unit in the Cancer Blitz. This week's Kiwanis Club meeting was under the direc- tion of vice-president Murray Sparkes, chairman of the club's Cancer Blitz committee.

Addressing the fifth annual dinner of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Diabetics Associa- tion, Dr. Bernard Leibel, head of the diabetic clinic of the Sunnybrovk Hospital, » Toronto, said diabetes is the most com- mon cause of amputations and blindness.

CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating. their birthdays today: Gary Wraith, Herbert ave- nue, RR 1, Oshawa; Brenda Lee McFeeters, 28 Aberdeen and Scott Harlock, RR 1, Oshawa Phone 723-3474 sible if she recognized the dos- age as lethal as a result of her training. But Mr. Cook said it would be very likely that a nurse would not know a lethal dose. Later, he told The Times: "I have /4,500 drugs in the dispensary. I lthink a nurse might know the lethal dose for less than 100 of these drugs. RIGID REGULATIONS "It's not her business to know, jreally."' The chief pharmacist outlined the very rigid basis on which his department is run. Nurses must order prescriptions from the hospital dispensary. Dosages are checked both by the nurse and the pharmacy. A few drugs are left on the floors for emergencies: mostly painkillers such as codeine, morphine and demerol. These stocks are checked three times a day and the pharmacy must account for every bit. Short- ages must be reported to the | authorities, Mistakes which occur in hos- pitals and which may involve nurses include: a) wrong med- icine b) for wrong patient; c) burns; d) sponge count; e) loss of property. These were listed by Miss |Dodds, who stressed that "'prin- |ciples are violated" when mis- takes occur. In hospitals where sponge counts are not required, the sur- geon takes the responsibility, | she said. Most hospitals now re- | quire sponge counts and the tir- iculating and scrub nurses are | responsible | If a doctor ignores the fact |that sponges are not accounted ie al Aspects Of Nursing Debated for, then he would be held re- sponsible, added Miss Dodds. She underlitfed' the 'importance of signed records of sponge counts. Mr. Hepburn said most suits against hospitals today are for negligence. He defined this as omitting something which should be done; or doing some- thing which should not be done. He said hospitals may be re- sponsible for negligence, even though the negligence is the fault of employes, under a law jterm called "respondent su- |perior", That is, if an employee is judged at fault doing the |work he is hired to do. But a | hospital has the right to sue an employee. In emergencies, said Mr, Hep- |burn, as long as a nse uses \"her own best judgment" until {a doctor is contacted, she will not be held responsible. If a patient comes to. hospital |willingly, consent to treatment is presumed. However, for oper- ations under a general anaes- thetic, signatures are required. M. Hepburn said any implied consents are void if a patient objects verbally. | While Mr. Hepburn stressed that a nurse has an ethical and 'legal. responsibility to keep secret any information about a patient, Mr. Moore emphasized that a nurse "may conceal noth- ing" when called to testify in a civil or criminal case. Mr. Moore underlined the im- |portance of making notes: "careful, accurate precise notes written as soon after an event as possible'. These are invalu- able for a nurse called to tes- tify, he said. Mr. Moore told the group a nurse may witness a patient's | will but may not benefit from the will, He said a nurse may write a will for a patient but it must be signed (or marked if the patient can't write) by the patient and witnessed by two additional persons. Mr. Cook described his de- partment and the way it oper- ates. He warned of the "very stringent penalties' for traffick- ing in controlled drugs, or pos- session of same. Man Remanded After Fracas PETERBOROUGH -- Nicho- las Chiplick, 32, of Oshawa, charged with breaking and en- tering with intent to commit assault causing bodily harm, was remanded one week by Ma- gistrate W. R. Philp in court Tuesday. Bail was set at $5,000 prop- erty or $2,500 cash. Chiplick was arrested last Friday after Walter Pilling, 411%4 London street, told police of a fracas in his home. Pilling is Chiplick's father-in-law. Pill- ing told police a man barged into his home around 2 a.m. Friday armed with a shotgun.

If 61-year-old Robert Edward Rockbrune, 86 William Street west, has his way, the stay will be by no means temporary and the old tree will spend its last few years in the same position it has for many hundreds -- of years. Located on the corner of Mac- Millan drive and. Colborne street, the elm stands serenely in the middle of the lot owned by the Oshawa Kinsman Ciub.

The thefts took place over a three month period. Two of the men, Alex Chopik, 22, 516 Dieppe street, and Ron- ald Barriage, 22, 263 Windsor avenue, were nabbed at gun- point shortly after midnight by| Sgt. of Detectives William Jor- don and Det. Sgt. John Powell, after they walked into a stake- out along the CNR tracks near Thornton's road south. Several hours later the third) man, James Grant Ferjo, 21, 76 Harris street, was picked up at his home by these detectives. | FIND TIRES After intensive investigation) two piles of tires were found) hidden in the area and a 24-| hour watch was mounted. | The reward for many hours of| patient waiting and watching) came at 12.16 a.m. Tuesday,| when a 1957 convertible drove up.

These officers clapped the pair in handcuffs immediately and took them to the police station. After several hours of ques- |tioning all three were charged with theft of 24 assorted tires from a Direct Winters Transport trailer on Bloor street west April 20, valued at $600. FACE THEFT CHARGES Two of the suspects, Bar- riage and Ferjo were further charged with thefts of 21 pas- senger tires, three batteries and a floor mat from Harry Kerr In- dustries Limited, 630 Farewell avenue, Mar. 20. This loot was valued at $1,119. This pair were also charged with the theft of 12 tires and wheels, and four wheel discs from Hogan Motors Limited, Dean avenue, Jan. 25. Value of the items stolen from Hogan Motors was not immed- iately available but is believed to amount to at least another $1,000. Besides the tires recovered at the stake-out, many of the others have 'been recovered during the course of the long investigation. In addition to the officers mentioned, Det. John MacDer- maid .and Constables Arthur Hobbs and Fred Dionne took part in the investigation. ~ ceremony, for the construction of the new $100,000 Kinsmen Community Centre there, the spiteful whine of a chain saw assailed the ears of Mr. Rock- brune as he worked in his yard nearby. Spying a man high in the limbs of the old elm, it sudden- ly dawned on him that this fel- low was up to no good judging by the way he was knifing into one of the larger limbs. Arriving at the scene with the utmost dispatch, Mr. Rockbrune to know the inten- and his accomplice at the foot of the tree. They informed him lightly they were going to cut down this ancient (and somewhat rotten) tree because it was slap up against the imaginary west wall of the fine new Kinsmen build- ing. They could not have been more astounded at Mr. Rock- brune's reaction to their reply if they had told him the city was going to lower his taxes. HISTORICAL MONUMENT "That tree js a_ historical monument, It's older than Osh- awa. You'll have to cut it down over my dead body," he cried, then he marched sternly under- neath the now partially severed limb and sat down on the ground. He remained there immovable and quite impassive to the warn- ings of workmen that there was a possibility the limb might fall on him at any moment. Nonplussed by his attitude and thwarted in their efforts to get the job done quickly and effi- ciently, they held a hurried sum- mit on the spot. Realizing it would take some- one in authority to reach an agreement with the stern and adamant Mr. Rockbrune, one of them went for help in the form of their employer Ron Deeth. Reinforcements soon arrived to join battle with the keeper of the ancient elm. Numerically they were far superior but he was their match in the "quiet discussion" which followed on the '"'pros and cons' of the life- span of the tree. REMOVAL NEED CITED Bob Sledziew of the Kinsmen building planning committee, ex- plained to Mr, Rockbrune why the ancient one had to go. He said the club had even engaged of a final agreement? he asked, and genially informed Mr. Rock- brune that if by any stretch of the imagination the limb fell on someone if this was not done, then he, Mr. Rockbrune, would be held responsible. FIRST ROUND OVER That did the trick. The first round of the battle of Elm Tree corner was over. Mr. Rockbrune/ stood by somewhat thoughtfully as the great bough crashed to the ground in a cloud of dust and flying debris. The inside of diameter |this \ a) mately three feet) was in the advanced stages of decay. As the two workmen began sawing up the great bough the contestants drifted quietly from the scene of carnage to prepare for the second round. Mr. Rockbrune quickly took steps in an effort to gain public support for his cause. He ex- plained his stand to Mayor Christine Thomas by telephone and said he hoped to gain enough support to gain a re- prieve for his beloved tree. Mayor Thomas said Tuesday afternoon that she was extreme- ly sorry to see the old tree cut down personally. Speaking for. the city she pointed out that it stands on private property . . . and the city has no authority in the matter, ADMIRED BY BOWLERS Her Worship said she felt sure her companions in the Oshawa Lawn Bowling. Club fraternity would be sorry to see the tree go, too, because they appre- ciated its beauty from their greens across the street. She said she was sorry to see the city being denuded of the old trees in recent years but much of this had been caused by the high incidence of disease: Mr. Rockbrune fully intends to carry on his fight to save "his" elm and it is not a new experience for him. Near the end of the Second World War this same tree was condemned to death but he took up his sword in the cause of preservation at that time. When he heard it was to be removed at that time he man- aged to "'secure'"' the contract for the disposal of the old tree. Instead of cutting it down, how- ever, he stalled until he aroused enough interest from horticul- tural and historical societies to bring pressure to preserve the tree. the services of a company of tree experts to investigate the! possibility of the tree remaining) untouched, | The company had reported) however, that even with trim-| ming and doctoring they could not guarantee the tree would live for more than two or three| years at the most, he said. The club did not want to see the tree go but there was no other way out. The battle reached a stale- mate when Mr. Rockbrune re- iterated his statement that the tree was a historical monument and should therefore be pre- served at all costs. He then re- turned to his rather precarious position under the drooping bough. ini A few mWiifs later the im-) posing figure of one of Oshawa's finest arrived in the person of Deputy Chief Duncan Ferguson. Informed of the reason for the lull in the skirmish, he greeted Mr. Rockbrune cordially and then listened to his side of the story. Why not let the boys finish cutting the limb off and then call it quits for the day until we see what's to be done in the way 4 Do Not Ahhere To Their Diets A Toronto physician and au- thority on diabetes last night objected to Mayor Christine Thomas commending Oshawa diabetics for their willpower in adhering to their diets. Dr. Bernard Leibel, address- ing the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Diabetics Association, said: "T am sofry to say most diabetics neglect their diet." Mayor Thomas, who was guest of honor at the dinner of the diabetic association, in bringing greetings from _the City of Oshawa had commend- ed diabetics for their strong determination in saying: 'This is not good for me, this I will not eat." Dr. Leibel said that by keep- ing careful control of their diet and working together with their physician, diabetics cam lead a normal life. \
