The Polish community, con- sisting of more than 4,000 peo- ple, has many fine buildings in The community is organized into a number of useful groups, namely, Polish Alliance, Branch 21; Polish Union of Canada, Branch 7; Polonia Sports Club; Scouts Adult Friendly Society; the Polish Scouts; and the Gen- eral W. Sikorski Polish Veter- ans' Association, which is a chartered organization. The Polish community has grown so rapidly that it is felt better facilities are needed to meet existing requirements. The Polish Veterans have accepted the challenge and as a result plans for the new community centre took form.

The licence would be validated by imprinting in the cash register when the li- censee paid the fee in the tax collection section on his way out, This procedure would elimi- nate preparation of receipts in' the clerk's department and accounting to the Treasury for -- received at the end of each jay. "If our proposals for fewer boards and committees are adopted, there will be less de- mand for secretarial service from the clerk's department. vard, Oshawa; Knapp, 62 Kingston road west, 12 District Students Win Awards The Ontario Department of Education announces that 12 Oshawa and district students have been awarded Ontario Scholarships.

Speaking to an Oshawa Jun- ior Chamber of Commerce meeting in Hotel Genosha, he said recent studies have shown only about 14 per cent of the North American population is absolutely free of mental dis- orders. "This means that perhaps there's not so much difference between people who are called abnormal' and us," he said, THUMB-SUCKING NORMAL Dr. Jackson said at one time it was thought children who sucked their thumbs were ab- normal.

Dr. Jackson added the Osh- awa clinic uses 'mental hospi- tals as sparingly as possible. He said in the last year, out of 130 cases, only four had been referred to other agencies, and none to hospitals. Asked by a member what per- centage of those cases had been women, Dr.. Jackson said 96 were men and 34 women. "But," he added, "studies Of EMO Lt.Col. F. S.

"The United States is facing up to an encroachment policy -- how Russia reacts to that policy will affect 'history for sometime to come," Col. Wotton said. He has issued a reminder to the general public that all the emergency information neces- sary for any householder is available and can be obtained by either coming to EMO head- quarters at the Oshawa Munici- pal Airport, or by dropping a card to the EMO co-ordinator.

New Title Suggested Editor's Note: The follow- ing excerpt from the Woods, Gordon Report on civic ad- ministration deals with the assessment department. A comparison with the assess- ment staffs in cities of similar size suggests that Oshawa's as- sessment department present staff level is both adequate and The simplified li ig system would also need less time of the clerk's staff. In addition the clerk has instituted improved referencing and indexing sys- tems which when completed will mean less work for his staff in answering enquiries. Improved co-operation between depart- ments will also encourage the sharing of staff at peak periods. We, therefore, expect that a reduction in staff in the depart- }ment should be possible. "The Ontario Municipal Act states that a deputy clerk may be appointed, but, does not re- quire it. The principal duties of the present deputy are to act as secretary to certain boards which we have recommended should be discontinued. Rotary Asked For Leaders In Chest An appeal to members to par- ticipate to the full and give leadership in the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest Campaign' was made Monday by Norman A. Millington, executive direc- or of the Woodgreen Commun- ity Centre, Toronto. The speaker, who is chairman of the public service Division of the Toronto United Appeal, was "Under these circumstances, we consider that the position of deputy clerk is unnecessary and \s ---- be Sscontionst, sides the direct reduction in core of building! salary cost, such a move would provide valuable added space in city hall.'"'

This was an increase of 5,600 over last year. The children's department circulated 29,530 books, 118 less than last year.

Due to the rapid growth of such communities as Oshawa, and the abolition of separate ap- peals by organizations, the com- munity chest had become an im- personal thing for many citi- zens. Since this is so it has be- come the custom for others to do r ible, Woods, Gordon and Company told city council in its 65-page report on Oshawa's civic administration. But, the management consult- ants firm stated that it is not in agreement' with the assessment department's plan of organiza- tion. "Under this plan," the report states, '"'all the staff of the de- partment report to the deputy ment comm , who alone reports to "the commis- sioner, This implies that the deputy is responsible for the entire operation, which is not the case. "Among the staff reporting to the deputy on the organization chart are three supervisors. No- body is shown reporting to them, however, and the title of super- visor is really used to show their senior status. who report in practice direct- ly to the assessment commis- sioner and consult with him on difficult problems. "We suggest, therefore, that they be given the title 'senior assessors'. The remaining as- sessment staff would report to! the deputy commissioner, al- though they may receive work direction from the senior asses- sors. The deputy commissioner also acts as office manager and the clerical staff report to him." In view of the recent J. P. Coombes and 'Associates re- assessment, Woods, Gordon and Company did not examine the assessment department's operat- ing procedures. the job which was once willing- ly done by private citizens. The speaker suggested the prejudices against chest appeals are not being answered. Mem- bers of Rotary should take time to explain the reason and the need for such appeals. It should be realized, he said, that such organizations as the Red Cross, which operates-the blood donor service, helps all citizens of the community. A community chest type of ap- peal, it was emphasized, allows individual organizations to de- vote full time to the work they are doing rather than spend- ing much =. planning and conducting the! appeals.

Tane, traffic safety or- Ask Guard At Crossing The management committee of the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion turned its attention to traf- fic safety Monday. It was informed by Constable ficer of the Oshawa Police De- partment, that there is an in- creasing safety hazard to school children at Rossland road west and Gibbons street. He felt this is becoming a hazardous cross- ing. The committee decided a re- quest will be directed to the Osh- awa Police Commission to place a crossing guard here. The police commission an- swered a previous request from the board to have crossing guards placed at Bloor street and Wilson road and at Steven- son's road and Ridgeway street. A crossing guard is called for in the latter location, the com- mission informed the board, but at Bloor street and Wilson road the present safety patrol should be sufficient. The committee also recom- mended that the board contrib- ute towards the cost of a slide projector to be used by Con- stable Tane in safety instruction in the Oshawa schools. Dr. C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of Public Schools, said Constable Tane thinks he can handle more classes with the proposed projector. He pointed out the police officer endeavors to give a period of instruction in every class in all schools in Oshawa. He covered nearly all classes last year. The cost of the projector would be shared with the Separ- ate School Board and cost ap- proximately $260. It was pointed out, however, |" that the projector would be the property of the Public and Separate school boards jointly and be forthe use of Constable Tane only.

He admitted having seven pints and three draughts. Field Cost In Limit The cost of the playing field behind the McLaughlin Colleg- fate and Vocational Institute is [|going to be well within the lim- its set by the Board of Educa- tion, the building and planning committee of the board was told Monday. R. H. Lunney, building main- tenance supervisor of the board, said so far $45,000 have been spent on the project. The board decided to under- take the job last summer, after tenders submitted were all high- er than the maximum $70,000 al- lotted to the project. Mr. Lunney said the field will have everything that was pro- vided for in the original archi- tect's plans, except that only one stairway will be built instead of two. He said it will also be pos- sible to do the sodding, using a cheaper sod than originally call-|7" ed for. Sodding the field had been struck from the plans pre- viously. Mr. Lunney said he expected the total cost of the field would be approximately $66,000. ones, Other than a measuring tape they use no equipment or instruments, they say, just common sense and experience Gathered t An ae the years.
