S. Ebbs. Mitton was charged in connec- tion with an accident which oc- curred at Simcoe and Gibb streets June 26. Constable Peter Mandryk told A\the court he was called to Cen- =| Oshawa's tre and Royal streets. When he arrived, he learned that Mitton had struck another car and left the scene. The driver of the other car, Thomas Dyas, 89 Ca- dillac avenue north, told the of- ficer he had followed Mitton to Centre and Royal streets fol- lowing the collision. Constable Mandryk told the court that Mitton was stagger- ing and that he smelled of al- cohol. The officer also observ- ed that the accused's speech was thick and his eyes were bloodshot. "In my opinion, the accused was intoxicated," said the of- ficer. A charge of having liquor in a place other than his home was withdrawn. FIGHT GRASS FIRE The Oshawa Fire Department was called to a grass fire in east end Monday morning, and no other alarms were turned in by 8 a.m. to- day. There were no ambulance \ealls. er.

Michael Starr, federal labor minister, as he explained the govern-) ment's austerity program at the Monday meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. "This is a time for a testa- ment of faith in Canada," he continued. "Faith in the abil- ity of the Canadian people to face up to hard, realistic facts.

ECONOMIC FACTS OF LIFE "Economic problems demand answers based on the economic facts of life. Such economic an- swers are not always political- ly palatable. Nevertheless, am supremely confident that Canadian people, in possession of all the facts, will rise to the present challenge as they have to others in the past." | Continuing, Mr. Starr pointed jout that much has been accom- |plished. The employment pic- ture is considerably brighter than it has been for some years. At the same time the volume of imports was an in- dication of the demand -- Back- ed up by buying power--which jexists in Canada. | He said the fact that this should have helped to create a precarious monetary situation is no cause for discouragement with regard to the essential soundness of the economy as it was perhaps inevitable that jwhen economic activity is di- rected toward internal growth that - external repercussions should ensue. TEMPORARY PROBLEMS "I. am personally convinced at 5:45 p.m. with the gathering that with employment on the point scheduled at Connaught upswing and with a high de- accent, at least temporarily,| must be on curbing imports in favor of Canadian manufactur- ed goods, Mr. Starr continued. Unnecessary imports mean jobs are being done outside Canada which could be done here pro- viding work for Canadians. 4' | CREATE NEW JOBS | Stressing that the government'®) primary responsibility was to) create new jobs and to keep) Canadians at work, Mr. Starr commented that had the govern- ment failed to incfease expend- itures hundreds of thousands would now be unemployed. In five years additional work op- portunities had been created for 500,000 men and women. "The recent measures announ- ced by the prime minister have been greeted by serious and sober approval across the country. It is realised that these measures are necessary and that, on a short term basis, they will benefit the economy. The basic fact of economic life in Canada today is that we must remain competitive; that we must sell to stay alive; and that there must be a reasonable ratio between our production and our standard of living." Canada, Mr. Starr stated, has kept up her international com- mitments; found the wherewith- al to assist other countries; pro- vided a great deal of new em- ployment; raised the quality of the labor force by a massive and intensive training program and has not neglected her old people, | Is Trophy Winner The General Racing Pigeon Club of Oshawa held its 10th race of the season last Satur- day when 150 of the members birds were released at Dan- ville, Illinois.

The Ontario department of agriculture's soils and crops branch presents their warning 'Calgary By RAD HOPKINS _ (Staff Reporter) The thoughts of a 72-year-old Oshawa retiree were turned back to "the old west", Monday when the 50th annual Calgary Stampede was officially opened. John H. Mouncey, 77 Cadillac avenue north, a former city em- ployee, attended the first Cal- gary Stampede back in 1912. veterans of the needs of the provinces. in "'very bad verse": \Berries red, have no dread, Fifty years ago, Mr. Mouncey says, there was much more Park on Jarvis street. This event will be the annual playground walking marathon when teams of five from 24 playgrounds will participate for the 1962 Walking Marathon Crown. The starting line will be Con- naught Park on Jarvis street and the starting pistol will fire at 5:45 p.m. The teams com- prised of five members will walk through a course previously laid out, and although the champion- ship is declared with the team crossing a finish line which will be at Alexandra Park there is a certain bit of luck placed in the manner in which the team is able to accomplish this feat. The section of the city bound- ed by Adelaide avenue on the south, Golf street on the west, Rossland road on the north and Jarvis street on the east is div- ided into four sections. At the starting line each team is given a map and a set of six envelopes. On the word go each team opens one envelope and proceeds to the point as describ- ed, upon arriving at this point a password is called out and if this is the key station then an- other set of envolopes is receiv- ed for the next section. If not it is necessary to open envelopes until the key station is reached. Teams must proceed through all sections, and at the last key station are directed to the finish line which is just a short dis- tance away. At this time they may run, but through all sec- tions the team must stay to. gether and walk. gree of economic activity such as we are now. experiencing many of the problems now ewusing concern will prove to} be temporary in nature," he) commented.

The leaves are always alternate on the stem, ard each leaf is made up of three leaflets, and is inclined to droop. The plant is usually a Stampede in Calgary than there is today -- when the city of 63,520 population was "still suf- fering growing pains." Back in '12, the silver-haired Mr. Mouncey says few automo biles were ever seen around Cal- gary and very few of them were ever in the stampede parade. tain the strength of the Cana- dian dollar abroad; to arrest the drain on foreign exhcange the drain on foreign exchange exports into closer balance and to reduce deficits. The moves made by the gov- jernment were largely as a re- isult of a very sharp run on lthe Canadian dollar in recent weeks and, at least in part, due to the action of speculators in the exchange markets of the world. One of the immediate results is that there will be less opportunity for speculative profiteering. |IMBALANCE IN ACCOUNTS Attention was drawn to the \fact that Canada imports more goods per capita than any other industrial nation. This meant that Canad is subject to an im- balance in international ac- counts which can only be cor- rected through movements of capital When short-term speculative movements of capital occur. of the magnitude recently encount- ered Canada's international re- serves and the value of the Can- adian dollar, are, subjected to pressure Although Canada for several years has moved to build ex- ports to record heights, the t \ ) Simcoe Hall Boys' Club to be erected in Eastview Park was given Monday at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. Members of the club were urg- ed to give their personal sup- port to the project. Architects have been retain- ed and tentative plans approv- ed for the building which will be an extension of the work carried on for a number of years by Simcoe Hall. It is hoped to cail tenders by the end of August. j Based on the experience of similar clubs, it is estimated that $30,000 a year will be re- quired to operate the club. Of this amount the city has agreed to contribute $15,000; while the Greater Oshawa Community Chest has placed $11,000 in its budget for the 1962 cam: paign. Rotarian S. T. Hopkins told the club the estimated cost of the building and equipment is $420,000. To date $286,500 has been pledged over a three-year period by 65 donors which in- clude large industries and indi- viduals. | sides, vine either creeping along the ground, or climbing fences or trees. When it climbs, it is sup- ported by aerial roots. It may, however, be a thick stemmed shrub, up to three feet high.

All parts of it, including the roots, con- tain the poisonous substance which causes severe irritation of the skin.

ALL EQUINE "In those days,"' he said, "'the Stampede was all stampede -- the parade was all equine with some of the best cowboys the old west was able to produce and there was even a pair of buffalo drawing a cart in that first Stampede parade." An adventurous young man in 1909, Mr. Mouncey left his Rose- neath, Ont. home to joint a harvest excursion to the west. When the harvest was finished, he drifted into Calgary, where he got a carpenter's job. "Those were the days when top pay for a carpenter was 50- cents-an-hour"', he recalls. He also remembered that. in those days a carpenter worked 10 hours a day, six days a week. HELPED BUILD HOMES "I remember when the first stampede opened, I was working with a young American -- build- ing houses. We used to work in the mornings -- then take off in the afternoon and evenings. to the Stampede," Mr. Mouncey said. One of the most. fascinating things about the Stampede in 1912 in Mr. Mouncey's opinion was "'the race of the wild hors- es." ; 'Recalls First Rodeo He said cowboys would drive wild horses from the nearby Rocky Mountains into the stam- pede ground corrals, turn them loose with no straps, ropes, or saddles of any kind -- then let them run. "Some"' he said, "would sim- ply stand there at the entrance to their chutes -- others would run wild around the track -- others would careen into fences -- and all of them had never seen human beings prior to their capture for the stampede." THREE-RING CIRCUS Watching the Stampede in 1912 was like watching a three-ring circus. All sorts of different cowboy antics were gaing on at once. Now it is held in con- junction with the agricultural society and is not so much a rodeo as it was 50 years ago, Mr. Mouncey states. One of his associates back in Calgary in "12 was Guy Wead- ick, general manager of the first Stampede. OPERATED STORE Since his return to Ontario, in 1913, Mr. Mouncey operated a general store in Fenella, for 20 years, then came to Oshawa where he sold real estate for several years before going to work for the city in its parking meter department as a collector and repairman. He has been back to the West after he returned to his native Ontario -- but never back to the Stampede. He is planning a. 'Itrip to the west in late Septem- ber or early October this year. He had hoped to be at the Stam-; pede now "but things just did | n't work out that way." One of Mr. Mouncey's prod- est possessions is the program he purchased at that first Cal- ag "ig vs ss 50 years ago. e definitely intends to go to another Calgary Stampede and still watches what is shown of it on the national television networks.

Walter Dyriw, 611 Harmony road south and Walter Valentine Wojtowych, 819 Sylvia street, were. charged on June 22 with stealing paint and tray fit- tings valued at about $10 from the Oshawa Marine Shed, Har- bor road. They were apprehend- ed near the premises by Con- stables R. McHugh and J. W. Powell. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs asked the boys why they attempted to steal these items. Dyriw said he thought the things "might come in handy". Wojowych said he thought the building was "just an old shed". The magistrate told the boys they must report to the proba- tion officer once a week dur- ing the period of their proba- tion He also saic they must stay away from each other and must be home by 10.30 p.m. every day.
