COLUMBUS DAY ESSAY WINNERS Of the 160 students who en- tered the 1962 Columbus Day Essay Contest sponsored by the St. Gregory's Council of the Knights of Columbus the winners were picked at a coun- cil meeting Tuesday. Shown are, from the left, Robert Kennedy, 12, first award win- ner, of the St. Gertrude's School; Joanne Gilewski, 12, second award winner, of the St. Hedwig's School, and Vir- ginia Macevisius, 12, third award winner, of the St. Greg- ory's Girls' School. Credit Union Open House On Saturday, October 27, the Auto. Workers' (Oshawa) Credit Union plans to hold an open house and official opening of and inspect the fine new home of Oshawa's largest Credit Union. * Refr ts will be served. h their newly renovated and ex- panded offices, at 50 Bond street east. The ceremonies will com- mence at 3 p.m. Mayor Thomas will be present, and T. D. Thom- as, MPP, will be invited to un- veil a plaque which honors the founders of the Credit Union. Mr. John Hallinan, general manager of the Ontario Credit Union League will be the guest speaker, and will cut the ribbon, officially opening the office. La- bor Minister Mike Starr is also expected to be present. The public, members or non- members are invited to attend Mr. Leon Davey, treasurer- manager of the Auto Workers Credit Union expressed hope that many of the members would attend and bring their families along to be introduc- ed to their Credit Union. The Credit Union now has over 8,000 members, and is fast ap- proaching 5 million dollars in assets. It is very significant that the open house is being held on In- ternational Credit Union Day. Throughout the free world, 1 million Credit Union members will celebrate the fact that they are helping each other to econ- omic progress. Importance Of Poppy Day Gift Many questions are asked by those who purchase poppies, so The Royal Canadian Legion has prepared the following 'Quick Quiz". Why.should I wear a Poppy? When you wear a poppy or dis- play a wreath you Honor the war dead and you help the liv- ing. Your contributions provide quick help for needy veterans and their dependants. Just what does this help con- sist of? Any veteran may appeal to the Poppy Trust Fund for emer- gency aid, such as food, shelter or medical expenses. There are also bursaries for their chil- dren's education in the deserv- ing and needy cases. « Doesn't the government pro- vide pensions for veterans? Yes, in fact, many veterans do get pensions. But there are many more who do not, even though they are handicapped. However, no pension can pro- vide for eventualities such as fire, a long illness on the part of the breadwinner or other medi- cal expenses. Are the Poppy Funds avail- able for the needs of any veteran or his dependents? Yes, In fact 75 per cent of all cases involve veterans who are not Legion members. Does all the money raised and wreaths go into veteran wel- fare? -- Most of it does. How- ever, expenses such as the cost of poppies and other supplies natutally would be deducted. And even this money helps vet- erans because they are em- Society Meets The John Howard Society of Oshawa held its inaugural meet- ing Tuesday night at the YWCA. Members of the newly formed society are: President, H. Mur- ray Sparkes; vice - president, Rev, Monseigneur P. Coffey; secretary, Ernest Marks, QC; treasurer, Rev. Harry A. Mel- low. On the board of directors are: J. C. Baxter, H. Pineau, A. Green, F. 0. Popham, N. Spring, Rev. A. Woolcock, W. C. Payn- ter, Rev. Ronald A. Sharp, Norman F. Wilton, William Smith, E. V, Davis and Clark Hubbell. The John Howard Society is a United Appeal Agency. Its pur- pose is to guide ex-prisoners to a full and useful life through counsel. Ex-prisoners are aided by the society in the gaining of employ- ment and financed in small mat- ters. Members will meet once a month to discuss problems and progress.- The Oshawa branch of the so- ciety is the 14th branch in On- tario with head office in Toron- to. Last year 2,300 ex-prisoners were by the society of these 360 were parolees. - The society deals mainly with ex-prisoners who indicated an interest in rehabilitation while still incarcerated. ployed in the making of the pop-| pies and wreaths. | Are campaign expenses high? Campaign expenses are usual- ly low because all work is vol- untary. In Oshawa, the adver- tising and administrative ex- penses' are born by Branch 43} through their general funds. | Two Juveniles Rre Arrested Two juveniles were arrested this morning after police follow- ed a trail of stolen cars from| Toronto to Bowmanville. | The youths have been taken to | Toronto. Police said a car stolen in Toronto late last night was re- covered by Pickering Township police shortly after midnight. Then, a car owned by Mrs. Eunice McCormack of Whitby, stolen shortly after was found abandoned by Whitby, Town. po- lice after a chase through the streets. Later, Grant Sheather of Craydon.road, Whitby, saw someone drive off with his car and notified the police. The car was found by Bow- manville OPP at 2.33 a.m. | | TO AID FUND Proceeds from the Oshawa Naval Veterans' Club annual fall dance will further the build. ing fund for a new clubhouse on Viola street. The dance will be held at the new Kinsmen Centre, Colborne street west, Oct. 27 from 8 to 12. p.m. CITY VISITOR AC1 Bob McMurtry has com- pleted his MSE _ Technician Course at Camp Borden and is now spending a month's leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. McMurtry, Switzer drive. After his leave he will be sta- tioned at St. Jean, Quebec. Editor's Note: Following is the final article in the series dealing with the re- port of the Woods, Gordon Co. The report details the findings of the study made of the Oshawa Civic Admini- stration. Woods, Gordon and Com- pany, in its 65-page report on Oshawa's civic administration has recommended the nine- member Welfare Advisory Board be cu tto a three-member Welfare Advisory Board be cut to a three-member board. City council approved in tions set out in the $10,700 sur- vey. A five-member commitiee was set up 'o further study the recommendations and bring its recommended changes ~ to council as a whole for approvai. In suggesting the reduction in size of the 'board,, W-G report authors suggested the Welfare Advisory Board consist of one laldermanic and two appointed members, with -power to co-op- erate with other members if principle the 51 recommenda-| Would Cut Members Of Welfare Board "Until quite recently there were three clerks in the depart- ment in addition to the recep- tionist. On the retirement of the chief clerk some -ecords were simplified and the depart- ment is now operating with only two clerks. We believe that fur- ther simplification or elimina- tion of records is possible so that except in peak periods, the record keeping could be handled by the secretary - receptionist} and only one clerk. Much of the detail information recorded by| the clerks at present is dupli- cated within the welfare depart- ment itself. Other records supli- cate those kept by the Treasury. The introduction of a modified payroll system will save work for both departments." SUGGESTED CHANGES i. "At present when a welfare case is accepted a budget card is prepared and kept in the wel- fare department. A list is sent to treasury each pay-period show- ing the names and amounts of recipients, and the treasury pre- pares the cheques. Welfare de- citizens with such special know- ledge become available. The present board consists of the mayor, an alderman and jseven appointed members, out- side of council. |DUTIES DETAILED According to the report, "the welfare department staff con- sists of the welfare administra- tor, a deputy welfare admii- strator, four case workers and a clerical staff of three. The department is concerned with the administration of the city's welfare program, management of Halliday Manor low rental housing project and admissions to the Hillsdale Manor Home for the Aged. "The welfare administrator reports for all practical pur- poses to the welfare advisory. board, which consists of the mayor, one alderman and seven other members appointed for skills. or special representation. The board determines the pol- icy ofthe department, with oc- casional reference to council on contentious matters. The annual budget of the department is submitted to council by the board. An analysis of cases and disbursements is prepared by the welfare department staff distributed to all members of the board each month. CASE' DISTRIBUTION "The case load is distributed among the social workers with two specializing in particular problems and two others divid- ing the city on a geographic basis. We consider this plan %f organization to be satisfac a What are Legion Service Bur- eaux? They are the Legion depart- ments which give any veteran or dependant help with pension and other problems. They will act on his behalf with the Fed- eral Government with no charge to the veteran. The experience of Service Bureaux in handling such problems enables the Le- gion to keep a close check on commend changes where changes are justified. For ex- ample, in the months of April, May and June of 1962 the Ser- vice Bureaux in Toronto handl- ed 203 new cases, visited 42 branches, drove 3299 miles and wrote 2070 letters. This work re- sulted in monthly pension adjust- ments to the value of $3078.67 with a retroactive adjustment of $16,189.18. Can Poppy money be used for anything else? No. The Legion's constitution stresses that these funds must be held in trust. They are sub- scribed to by the public. They are held'in a bank account sep- arate from that of the branches and cannot be used for any other puposes than stipulated above. How much should I give? We suggest that you give ac- cording to the dictates of your conscience. You might remem- ber that the cost of all things the poppy fund provides is much higher today than it used to be. Therefore, it takes more to do the same job. Veterans' Legislation and re-|S THURSDAY, OLD WOODBINE ENTRIES partment clerks enter payments jon the individual budget cards |which then become a record of |assistance paid. All of these re- |cords can be prepared simultan- 'eously by a "one write" pay- |roll system ,in which the individ- {ual budget card and the payroll \list are carbon copies of the cheque. The cheques would be preapred by the welfare depart- ment staff and passed to the treasury, together with the pay- roll list, for signing and distri- bution. The city treasurer and welfare administrator have been studying a similar system which is used by the City of Kingston, and we recommend that this be adopted in Oshawa as soon as possible. 2. With the. adoption of the above system an analysis of each cheque issued appears on the attached -stub. There wiil, therefore, be no need for the welfare department to do this analysis for the treasury when uncashed cheques are returned. At the same time, since the pay- roll can be prepared later, there should be fewer such cheques prepared and not needed. 3. "The cash credits book dw} plicates the detail of the above paragraph, and can also be dis- continued. The treasury can pro- vide this information for the wel- fare department's monthly re- port, broken down as needed, CHARGE BACKS %.

PLANNING BOARD 'We understand that the plan- ning board staff has for some time been working on a com- plete set of drawings for the planning area and that this program is now' complete. Under these circumstances we would expect that some reduc- tion in the size of staff is pos- sible, since 'maintenance of the drawings will not need the same amount of work as setting them up. Since the planning board staff is located next to the engineering offices, we recommend that the city ar- range with the planning board for the engineering staff to pro- vide assistance to a reduced planning staff at peak periods. "Although appointed by coun- cil the planning board is an in- dependent statutory body out- side council's control and it will of course be necessary to ask the board itself to effect sav- ings to the city, through any reduction in planning staff." McLAUGHLIN PUBLIC ' LIBRARY "Oshawa is second only to Sudbury in its low salary cost per capita and second only to Brantford in having the lowest per capita expenditure. "The fact that Oshawa's costs are low is not in itself proof of efficient or good operation. It may be an indication that the level of service provided or ex- pected is less than in other libraries. Circulation of books per capita in Oshawa is in fact ower than most of the other cities in its size group. In 1960, it was 5.23 as compared with a mean for the group of 7.17. "In summary, we.gained the impression that the library is operating very satisfactorily at the present time." ASSESSMENT KNOCKED DOWN TORONTO (CP) -- The Ontario Municipal Board announced a ruling reduc- ing the City of Oshawa's assessment on 15 acres of land owned by Oshawa Drive-In Theatres Limited. The city's assessor re- garded the theatre site on the western edge of Osh- awa as industrial land and assessed it at $60,000. A court of revision redticed the assessment to $44,600 and the theatre company appealed to the OMB. The ruling sets the assessment ment at $37,100.
