2 ° THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 6, 1962 Home And School Council Link Between Associations of District Home and School Councils were originally formed to be the link between individual asso- ciations and the Ontario Fed- eration. Our local Home and School Council has a very in- teresting history. "The teach- ers of the Oshawa Public Schools met. at the home of Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin on the evening of November 16, 1920, to discuss the possibility of forming a Home and School organization in the Town of Oshawa. Mrs, McLaughlin, on motion made by Miss M. P. Squires, seconded by J. W. Garrow, took the chair and conducted the business of the evening." The above quoted paragraph is to be found on the first page of a very interesting little black note-book which is now in the possession of the secretary of Oshawa and District Home and School Council, Reading further we find that the aim of this meeting was '"'to awaken public interest in all education- al matters, by means of organ- ization and discussion, and by providing literature and speak- ers. We believe that, in the schools of tomorrow, and through the sympathetic and in- telligen' co-operation of par- ents with inspiring and public- spirited teachers lies Ontario's and Canada's best hope of es- tablishing a Great Democracy." Following this are listed some 26 suggested activities to be undertaken in the town. Some of these objectives which might be of special interest are quoted here: 1. To see that children of poor people are not debarred from school through lack of Council as outlined in "Guide- posts" -- such as liaison be- tween Federation and Associa- tion; Training Schools for As- sociation personnel; Organizing Conferences; Having prominent speakers and educators to take part in our general meetings, Oshawa Council: has also accom- plished the following: The formation of the Girl Guide Association. The institution of Adult Traf- fic Guards at busy school inter- sections. Outdoor Skating Rinks and Skating Parties. Music in the Schools. Annual Bursaries awarded to Teacher Students and other promising Students. Encouragement of those in- terested in setting up a Mental Health Clinic. Closer Liaison between Board of Education and Home and School Council expressed by attendance at Board Meetings and by inviting the Public Relations Chairman of the Board to attend Council meet- ings. Assistance in programmings and actual participation (by re- quest) in the Association pro- grams. Set up a siudy group to de- termine the "Equality of Edu- cationa] Crrertunity in On- tario." Sponsored a Baby - sitting Course in co-operation with the Oshawa Safety League. Provided the opportunity for examination and discussion of the teaching of Oral French in the elementary schools. The present executive is most books. 2. To support the school trus- | tees in progressive measures. 4. To assist in beautifying | and improving the school. 11. To encourage music in the schools. 14. To provide diplomas, medals, prizes or scholarships for regular attendance or schol- astic attainment. 15. To establish a library. 19. To help in the Canadian- ization of foreign born resi- dents. 21. To prevent children from dropping out of school too early, 22. To arrange for instruction of sex hygiene. In order te properly handle all these activities, it was felt an organization was needed, so we find that on a motion by Mrs. D. J. Brown, seconded by Miss Annand, staff member of South Simcoe School, it was unanimously decided to form a branch of the Ontario Federa- tion of Home and School Asso- ciations. In addition te the regu- lar executive, a representative from each of the five public schools was appointed. From this beginning each school was encouraged to form, its own Association, and as this was done, the original group be- came known as the "Central Council of the Home and School Clubs of Oshawa." Since these early days our Counci] has expanded so that today, we have some 34 Asso- ciations affiliated with us and our area extends from Almonds and Brooklin on the west to Hampton and Bowmanville on the east. Each Association is asked to send at least five rep- resentatives and their -presi- dent to the general meetings which are held on the fourth Tuesday of September, Novem- ber, January, March and May. In addition to the duties of anxious to continue the excel- lent record of the past and to live up to the ideals of the people who first formed the organization in Oshawa over 42 years ago. The 196243 Execu- tive Committee of the Oshawa and District Home and School Council is as follows: Past- President, Mrs. J. T. Gaskell; President, Mrs, A. J.

A dessert tea- was held in May with Mrs. Hard- stone from Eaton's speaking on Chinaware, Table Settings and Crystal. A baby sitting service for the tea was inaugurated, made possible by the expanded facilities of Northminster) Church, and proved very popu-| lar. The Social Convener, Mrs. V. A. McGahey, organized these events and the. participation of all the mothers assured suc- cess, The year commenced with the forming of a second Scout Troop, so that the Group Com- mittee and Auxiliary now are responsible for three Cub Packs and two Scout Troops, all spon- sored by Northminster Church. During the year, nine meet- ings were held and visitors from District Headquarters and the Fifth Oshawa Scouts attend- ed some as guest speakers. The programs proved very _infor- mative and kept the mothers in close touch with scouting activ- ities. A Christmas party was held in December, at which the Cub Akelas were guests and were presented with Christmas gifts. A cash donation was made again for a needy family in lieu of ex ge gifts amongst membefs, and a collec- tion of gifts was taken for Sim- coe Hall. Christmas parties were organized for all the cubs and scouts during the month of December. Many _ scarves, signalling flags and bandages were sewn by Mrs. Glen McGee, Sewing Convener and Mrs. Edward Oscapella. Monies were spent for tents for the Fifth Oshawa Scout}: Troop, as well as for equip- ment for the new troop, the Fifth Oshawa Ojibways and the Cub Packs.

Community Nursing Registry a As Near as 'P] Cal aS Fl The Oshawa Community Nur- sing Registry is one of 22 registries in Ontario sponsored by the Registered Nurses As- sociation of Ontario. It is a non-profit making organization that employs three registered nurses 24 hours a day 7 days a week, « Until 1938 there were only 4 registries in Ontario. It was felt by the: RNAO that registries would provide a much needed service to the public. Ten per cent of. the nursing force in Ontario are members. The Oshawa Community Re- gistry does just that for the citizens of Oshawa and _ sur- rounding areas. Not only does it register nurses for private duty nursing to the very ill but it provides by direct lines and "Tf no answer" service for many doctors, the Victorian Order of Nurses, and the Canadian Ar- thritic society. Should a person be unable to contact his doctor in an emer- gency by calling 725-2211 he will immediately be directed to a doctor who is on call. The re- gistry handles many such. emer- gencies. It also assists by giving information to doctors and citi- zens as to what drug stores are open on Sundays and holidays. Those employing members of registry for private duty nursing are protected as a credential committee investigates all ap- plicants who must be registered nurses, have a satisfactory rec- ord and belong to the Registered nurses Association of Ontario. When the need arises the hos- pital is served by the private duty nurses to meet the nursing neds of the very ill. 1962 executive is -- Mrs. V.
