DAY CAMPERS ROUGH IT ALONG OSHAWA CREEK A LARGE GROUP of Osh- awa children this week are taking part in the activities of the day camp sponsored by the Oshawa Recreation Committee. In the upper pic- ture the campers are seen re- Oshawa Youngsters Invade Wooded Area Pirates have invaded the woods northeast of the Oshawa airport It was learned, however, they ere there with the sanction of the Oshawa Recreation Com- mittee, which is holding its an- tual Day Camp this week. Ninety-five youngsters be- tween the ages of 6 and 12 were placed on the muster rolls Mon- day. The camp has "piracy" as a theme this year. The boys will be stealing treasures, taking each other prisoner, engaging in man-to-man sword fights, in short, they will take on amny- thing pirates usually do. SHARPEN SKILLS At the same time, they will sharpen their wits and skills with various sorts of craft, woodcraft and how not to cut their fingers, something a worthy pirate is not supposed to do "You have .o keep them busy ell the time," said Bill Flegg, Jail Driver For 10 Days ceiving instructions from one of the supervisors, In the lower picture a group of the boys walk a log across the creek. Ninety-five boys, ail of public - school age, are going out to the woods by bus every one of the camp's leaders, while supervising the making of leath- er eye patches; which were to contribute to a more pirate-like appearance. But who thinks boys are just sitting around doing these chores is slightly off the mark. It is only with much persuasion from the campleaders that the boys can sit still. They are bursting with energy and games are taking place throughout the day to let them blow off steam. "Coming up this morning in the bus," said Adele Planeta, another of the leaders, "they were so full of energy, that I thought the roof was going to come off." CREEK INVITING Luckily the camp grounds thave several steep hills to climb and a shallow creek, which can be crossed by jumping, wading or swimming. On their first day out the pirates practised walking a log bridging the creek, It was here that the first few took an un- intended dip in the water, under loud hilarity of the rest. Cross- ings were made in all mamners, walking, crawling, on hands. and-feet and sitting down. Cuthbert E. Barager, RR 2, Oshawa, pleaded not guilty to a charge of drunk driving in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Monday but was sentenced to 10 days in the county jail by Magistrate F, S. Ebbs. Bara- ger's car was ordered impound- ed for three months and his licence was suspended for one year. Constable S. Hodgson told the court that on June 3 he inves- tigated an accident on Simcoe street north opposite a drive-in restaurant and found the ac. cused in an intoxicated condi- tion. Counsel for the accused ask- ed the officer if Barager re- fused to get into the police cruiser because he complained of being too tightly manacled. The constable said the hand- cuffs were used when Barager objected to getting into the cruiser. Barager told the court he had two glasses of beer on the night in question. Sergeant E. W.
