Greer, one of the leading crim- inal lawyers in this section of Tuesday by Attorney General Frederick Cass was John Mon- tague Chisholm Greer, a part- ner in the Oshawa law firm of Greer and Kelly. the province. ; Born in Toronto, Mr. Greer lived for a number of years in L Cochrane where he received his In announcing a Ust of 95 On- tario lawyers ramed QCs, the Hon. Mr. Cass noted the total ts 17 fewer than last year. This was because there was a tight- year and it will in the future, from almost 400 applicants. A minimum of law experience --10 years including war serv- ice--was a major factor in de- termining the appointments. Concern among lawyers about the way in which QC appoint- ments are made culminated a year ago in rejection of the honor by Woodstock lawyer R. A. MacDougall who said the honors are often distributed on a political patronage basis. WERE SINCE 1950 Mr. Greer has been practising educaiton at the Cochrane High School. He later attended Trin- ity College School in Port Hope and graduated as a mining en- gineer from the University of Toronto. f SERVED IN RCAF On the outbreak of the Second ' World War in 1939, Mr. Greer < JOHN M.

On his demobilization, he worked for a year as a mining engineer at the Hollinger Mine at Timmins. He then decided to study law and entered Osgoode Hall at Toronto. Active in many phases of the life of the community, Mr. Greer served for the past two years as a member of the Osh- awa Board of Education. An en- thusiastic sportsman, he is a keen golfer and curler. Seek Decrease Vocational Work HAMILTON -- The rational side of the human mind is tak- ing over the world today, and there must be a decreased em- phasis on teaching of purely vo- cational subjects, Dr. James E. Russell, secretary of the Educa- tion Policies Commission in Washington, told the 43rd an- qual assembly of the Ontario Secondary Schoo! Teachers' Federation here last week. Dr. Russell said his organiza- had mt three years in- Geiscter oe basic aim of edu- and had concluded that must be to teach young peo- think. "Educational problems will be solved by information from university laboratories, but instilling in the young Bd cayacity for understand- thg,"" he said. ""We have in front of us @ necessary retreat from ance subjects." An Wustration of this point, he said, lay in the fact that while voca- tional. schools were teaching men how to repair an combustion engine, they were not at the same time the economic implica- tions of the free combustion and ether non-carburetion engines. Among the more than 300 tes to the assembly, re- some 15,500 Ontario secondary school teachers, fe ot sag Street High School, tby; Hill, Dr. Donevan C.I, Osh- ; J. H.

Glenn Kil- mer, of Brantford, retiring president of the federation, in his year-end review. The rela- tive weight or size of a school board did not assure smooth- ness or efficiency, he said. "Large systems appear to have an absolute rigidity" whic tends to reduce their efficiency. Mr, Kilmer was critical of the suggestion that school boards group together, as has been proposed for Metropolitan Toronto, to produce uniform salary schedules. OSSTF, he said, prefers direct negotiations' between individual school boards and their teacher em- ployees. "Any attempts to move into zone, area or provincial sched- ules will be met with full and total opposition from the feder- ation," he said. New Year Is Busy Day For Fire Dept.

"Tommy" Thomas, MPP for Oshawa riding, believes that we can not afford to be without a medicare program (as he wrote recently in this pape r). He has already outlined how revenue would be obtained, First, there will be a premium payment of 30 cents a week for @ single person, and 60 cents for a family, with or without children, regardless of the number of clildren. The 1961 census figures have been used, and this indicated a pre- mium yield of $57.88 million a year. Second, there will be a 3 percent corporation tax. Thi is would yield $49.8 million a year. Third, there would be a 6 percent increase in personal income tax collections. crease in the federal tax rate, This would not be a 6 percent in- but a 6 percent surcharge on the present federal tax. This would yield $58.2 million. The total from all three sources would be $165,380,000. The following figures will much this would cost a family give an indication of how in the stated income groups: 6% of tax Annual Total Medicare Income Income Tax for Medicare Premium payment $3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 $ 33.00 152.00 301.00 477.00 676.00 $ 1.98 9. 18.06 28. 40. $31.20 31.20 $1.20 31.20 31.20 $33.18 40.32 49.26 59.82 71.76 12 At the same time he said in-| | a \ ual : OLIVE-AVENUE Seen here are members of the Oshawa Fire Department cleaning up after fire gutted the home of Mr. and Mrs. sion have approved grants for the new hospital.

Blood Clinic Thursday Needs Donors The first Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic for 1963 will be held in St. Gregory's Auditor- ium, Simcoe _ street north, Thursday, Jan. 3. Chairman of the Red Cross Blood Clinic, R. H. Stroud, is concerned over the fact that many people make appoint- ments for the clinic and fail to keep these appointments. Mr. Stroud stated: '"'probably the most disappointing aspect of Oshawa General Hospital cer- tainly won't keep up its births averages this way. The November hospital re- port showed an average seven births a day. The December ,average isn't known yet. What happened New Year's Two babies were born --all ay And it took the first one! arrive here. Eight pound, seven ounce handling blood donor clinics is the fact that so many people! make appointments and do not keep them. If these people re alized that other persons' lives depended on their donations, I believe they would try harder to attend our clinics". Red Cross workers have been very busy the past few weeks telephoning donors to make ap- pointments for the clinic. Donat- ing blood takes but a very few minutes but the time that you spend donating blood at a Red! Cross Clinic could mean a life- time to some person needing blood. An appeal is being made to all organizations in Oshawa for donors to attend this Janu- ary Clinic. The actual time taken for a donation is a very few minutes, the remainder of time is spent for testing registration, refresh- ments and rest. In all it takes just 30 minutes for a blood donation at a Red Cross Clinic. Donating blood is painless, and each phase is supervised by trained Red Cross workers. Any person between the ages of 18 and 65 years who is in average good health may donate blood. There are no diet restric- tions of any kind, Blood can hot be manu- factured. It must. come from public spirited citizens who are interested in helping their fel- low man, Blood is urgently needed by our hospital, as day in and day out, requests for blood are made to the blood bank, and unless the life-saving gift is available, someone may have to go with- out.
