He told the Oshawa Histor- ical Society, Monday," a higher level of ee prevailed here r to ' ie s were brought to sUppeb. poby. the Jioyal.| Ists," he said. With the coming of these early aristocrats, the log cabin tradition did: not last too long, said he. Mr. Symons indicated early American culture on the other hand, was far more primitive with its Jog cabins, wild and woolly west and rough and tough cowboys. The latter, the antique spe- cialist compared to our RCMP, "the Queen's cowboys". "Although ours is a rich and disciplined tradition, unfortun- ately we have suppressed it, and in so doing, we have suppress- ed ourselves." Our two cultures, French and English Canadians were com- pared by furniture used in pio. neer days through the showing of slides, The French Canadian furni- ture was round, curved and sen- suous whereas the English Cana- dian product. was angular and geometrical.

Michael Kaschahub, 159 Wil- son road south, who pleaded not guilty, was convicted of assault- ing cab driver John Wright. Wright told the court he pick- ed Kaschahub up at a house early on the morning of Dec. 29, He said he started to drive to Kaschahub's destination, 159 Wilson road south, when a fight started. He said Kaschahub accused him of trying to beef up his bill by taking him the wrong way, and turned off the cab's meter. In the ensuing fight, Wright said, he was struck on the head by the radio microphote and received a cut to his face that required five stitches to close. Kaschahub said Wright kick- ed him after the meter was turned off then went and got a friend who helped Wright beat him up. Police Given High Praise Magistrate C. W. Guest Mon- day commended the Oshawa Police Department for its fast work in catching a youth who broke into a Simcoe street south service station. He made his remarks in con- victing Donald Forest, 19, of Caesarea, who pleaded guilty to breaking into Visser's Service Station early Monday morn- ing. Forest was remanded one week for sentence. "Other thugs should pay heed that the Oshawa Police Depart- ment is on its toes," Magistrate Guest said: Constable Cleo Thompson told the court Forest was found hid- ing under a table in the service station after broken windows were diseovered in the. build- a? said the station's owner found nothing missing. Three Assault Cases Remanded Three women charged with assaulting another were re- manded one week by Mazgis- trate C, W. Guest Monday after testimony from each. The women, Eleanor Taillon, 24% Church street; Mildred Barrett and Lynda Dillabough, of 92 Burke street, charged with assaulting Elaine Snudden, 299 Vimy avenue, all pleaded t ity. nb Ss en told the court the three women attacked her Dec. 18 as they were drinking in Mrs. Taillon's apartment. She said Mrs, Taillon cut. off all her hair with a razor blade after they had pushed her to the floor. ; Miss Snudden said the fight started after she pushed Mrs Barrett. She said Mrs. Barrett had kept knocking her feet down from the rungs a chair. : Mrs. Taition denied cutting off Miss Snudden's hair, and was backed up by Miss Dilla- bough who said she did not see Mrs. Tailion with the razor of WASHINGTON -- At the end of an echo more than seven miles down, British sea survey- ors have found a new deepest deep for all the world's oceans. H, M. S. Cook, exploring a vast undersea canyon east of sounding equipment, hit bottom at 37,782 feet, the British Ad- miralty has confirmed to the National. Geographic Society. The discovery was made November 6- 1962. The "Cook Depth" is more than 1,500 feet deeper than the previous record depth reported in 1959 by the Soviet research ship Vityaz in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench. TWENTY TIMES GRAND CANYON The Cook Depth Hes in the Philippine Trench, one of sev- eral steep-walled furrows that gash the Pacific sea floor. The Philippine Trench is 20 times bigger than the Grand Canyon. The lowest par' of the narrow V bottom lies more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high. A penny toss- ed from a ship would fall for several hours before reaching bottom. Here is a world of total dark- ness, near - freezing tempera- tures, and pressures as high as 900 tons per square foot. A fraction of that pressure would be enough to crush a block of wood. to half size. ; Incredible as it may seem, however, life not only exists but thrives at the lowest depths. Though probably barren of plant life which requires. light, canyon floors support bacteria, sea anemones, mollusks, and minute crustaceans. Scientists believe giant, deep-sea squid may also live there, sustaining themselves on food that floats down. Jacques Piccard, of the fa- mous Swiss family of scien- tists, wrote in the August, 1960, National Geographic that he observed a shrimp and foot- long solelike fish scuttling along at a depth of 35,800 feet. His dive of almost seven miles in the Mariana Trench off Guam is blade. New Deepest Deep Found In Pacific The Pacific Ocean has most of the world's deepest canyons: the Philippine and Mariana Trenches ¢ Japan Trenech 34,000 feet; Kermadec - Tonga Trench north of New Zealand, 135,500 feet; and the Kuril- Kanchatka Trench, 34,000 feet. Indian Ocean, the Puerto Rico and South Sandwich Trenches in the Atlanti tic, on|PROBED SINCE WAR If Since World War II, many previously unknown deep-sea bottoms have been charted by the United States Navy, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Woods Hole Oceanographic In- stitution, the Scripps Institu- tion of Oceanography, and the National Geographic Society. All appear on maps produced by the Society. The new Cook Deep is joining them. Still, despite stepped-up stud- ies in oceanography, man knows less about many regions of the ocean than he does about the moon's surface. Oceanographers com pare their knowledge of the sea to what might be known about, say New Jersey, if one lowered a dredge from. the clouds and snared a field mouse, some bee- tles, a caterpillar, a stone and some grass. Two Unions In Merger Terms of a merger of the National Union of Public Em- ployees (CLC), and the National Union of Public Service Em- ployees (CLC), have been agreed to, it was announced Monday. Areas of agreement cover the constitution, budget, offices and staff. Terms of the agreement will be prepared for submission to the Founding Convention of the mew Canadian Union of Pub- lic Employees to be held in Win- nipeg, Sept. 24 to Sept. 26.

Lovell, Oshawa Board of Education trustee, told the board Monday he doesn't think "anyone is going to drill a hole through you" if the board come out with a more detailed five-year debenture plan. Mr. Lovell said at the board's regular meeting he would like to see more detail in the five- year debenture estimates to be submitted to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board. His remarks were mpted by the report of the uilding and planning commit- tee, which recommended last toa re pon hg informed the can no any more spe- cific in its estimates than giv- vol average figures for each ear, "I don't think this is going to be of much use to anybody," Mr, Lovell said.

But he said the only detail that co be given was the number class rooms the board expects to need over the next five years, "The figures are based on that," he said. ' Trustee Dr. A. E, O'Neill Pointed out that when the esti- mates were drawn up the board did not want to be specific. "It is pretty hard to. know. what the population of the city is going to be," said Trustee Harold B. Armstrong: "and that : ing this depends upon en- rely." Chairman Drynan asked Mr. Lovell whether he realized his motion was holding up board business and city business ag well. !

B. Dymond, of Port Perry, Ontario Minister of Health, in an address at the Monday meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. Asserting that more and more are being crippled by accidents, Dr. Dymond said industry should reassess its hiring poli- cies to enable these people to assume their rightful place in the community. The problem of the disablea citizen was also becoming more Significant due to the fact that the life span of this generation is being extended through sur- gery and the use of drugs. He estimated there are 420-000 peco- ple in Ontario who are totally crippled. Of these at leas: 100,- 000 are of working age. Old age should not be a time of idlesness, the speaker con- tinued. Rather it should be a time for readjustment so that others can reap the benefits of their experience and so the in- dividual can continue producing within the field of his ability. Dr. Dymond estimated 33 per cent of the entire labor force in Canada is over 40 years of age. One of the big problems fac- the mind, He said that at the end of last year 26,000 were patients in Ontario Hospitals This represented four of every 1,000 of population, Last year 7,000 people. were admitted to Ontario Hospitais while another 4,000 received treatments at the psychiatric sections of Gen- eral Hospitals or at clinics. Much progress had _ been made as regards treatment in recent years but ihe authorities were still not sure of what to do or how to go about it. ing Canada today disoiders of! WANT INFORMATION Board Criticizes Stories Press A challenge to provide the Oshawa Board of Education with information that might lead to investigation of alleged "misdeeds" by the board, and a suggestion that the press made "defamatory" statements were thrown out by a board trustee Monday. In a motion presented at the regular meeting of the board Trustee George A. Fletcher pro- poses that the news editor of the Oshawa Times, any trustee or any other person be request- ed to provide the board with any information that might lead to investigation of acts des- cribed in The Oshawa Times as "the Board's misdeeds"'. In the motion it is also pro. posed that The Oshawa Times be requested to refrain from "further defamatory general statements" pending the in- vestigation and proof of alleged misdeeds. Apparently taking most of the trustees completely by surprise the motion was not voted on, but referred to the public re- lations committee, to be dis- cussed later this week. In explaining his motion Trus- tee Fletcher said in the 10 CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes te the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays today: Ron Cox, Thorntor's road north; John Davidson, 76 Charles street.

In his introduction to the mo. tion he states he makes it "be. cause public. confidence is of vital importance to the Board of Education, and in view of re- cent statements by past. and present trustees and by the news editor of The Oshawa Times', . ." "It is up to the board to do everything in its power to clear up the situation," Mr, Fletcher stated. Evidently, the motion is re. ferring to passages from a col. umn that appeared in The Oshawa Times last Saturday. The column, in part, refers to a speech made recently to the board by departing board chair- man Robert H. Stroud, in which he read Article 50 of the Schools Admits Stealing Cash And Whiskey John Barry Porter, 88 Arling- ton street, Monday was re- manded to Feb. 4 for sentence on a charge of break and enter and theft and a hearing oa a charge of housebreaking. Porter pleaded guilty to breaking into the premises of J. W.. Lawrey, 789 Glencairn street and stealing money and whisky, He pleaded not guilty to the second charge, and was re- manded one week so a witness can be called. The court was told Porter, 19, is currently serving a two-year suspended sentence for house- breaking in December. Administration Act, Section 1, the "conflict of interest sec- tion". Mr. Fletcher said he brought the matter up because he con- sidered it an emergency situa- tion. When Trustee E. A. Bassett, seconded the motion, chairman George K. Drynan pointed out that it could be treated as a no- tice of motion if a majority of votes would demand this. A subsequent motion to this effect by Trustee Dr. A. E, O'Neill was lost by a 5-5 tie. A motion by Trustee Rt. Rev. Philip Coffey to have Mr. Flet- cher's motion referred to the public relations committee "for consideration and a_ report" was passed with six votes in favor and five against. (Eleven board members were present.) Trustee L. G. Glover said he refrained from voting on Dr. O'Neill's motion because, on Harmony Church Reports Given The annual congregational meeting of the Harmony Unit- ed Church was held last Satur- day evening with a fair repre- sentation of all groups present. The minister, Rev. N. T. Holmes, acted as chairman of the meeting, and Mrs. C, Twin- ing was named secretary. The meeting was opened with brief devotional service, and short memorial service for one of our members who had passed away during the year, Mrs. J. M. Lambe. 455 MEMBERS Reports were reviewed, and various aspects of the year's work were noted. In the Ses- sion Report it was noted that the minister conducted 13 wed- dings, 44 Baptisms | including four adult baptisms, and eight funerals. Thirty-one members were added on profession of faith and 46 by transfer from other churches. The member- ship now stands at 455, while the Sunday Church School total enrollment is 463. The United Church Women of Harmony by regular meetings and by fellowship continue to share with considerable num- bers of the women of the con- gregation. They are divided into four units which meet monthly. The Women's organization held its annual Turkey Dinner in Oc- tober and 'bazaar in November, which were well patronized. Mid-Week groups as Explorer CGIT, YPU, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides continue to serve and interest a large number of the young people of the Church and community. Chairmen and associates in the various groups, boards, etc., were thanked for their constant work through the year and for the leadership which they have given. Appreciation was also expressed to the Sunday Church School teachers and officers, ist, leaders in the Daily Vaca-~ tion Bible School, Workers in the Men's Club are anxious to continue their, influence and assistance to the. congregation, and invite men of the church to come and share in their meetings, MORTGAGE BURNED In November of 1962, the con- gregation had the pleasure of burning the mortgage on the Christian Education Centre, and now are free to look forward with some renewed 'interest to the time when we may take some more active steps toward erection of our new Church, Funds for the new Church building mow stand at some $4500. As-plans proceed toward. this goal, we hope that this ad- vance fund will be increased' considerably during the next few months, The congregation treasurer's report shows a healthy gain in many departments, and the' over-all receipts during the year amount to some $28,150.

"Perhaps present economic uncertainties account for this," Mr. Hall said, 'and our next study may reveal a larger 'in- vesting group of public individ- uals," Conducted on the Montreal and Canadian exchanges during three days last June, the study sought to determine investor| participation in the daily trad- ing volume of the two ex- changes. Members of the exchanges) recorded their transactions for the three separate days on spe- cially designed computing ma- chine cards. The findings, published by the MSE in booklet form, have al- ready elicited interest in Eng- land, the United States and throughout Canada. For one thing, the MSE found the share volume reported by individuals much larger than Big Short-Term Trade In Canada The MSE also attempted to determine the motivation prompting public participation. Noting the high percentage of unknowns, the study says it ap- peared 35.2 per cent of publie individual's purchases were for long-term investment -- more than six months, 35.7 per cent for short-term investment--one to six months, and 29.1 per cent for trading--under 30 days. The New York study found per cent of public individual buying was for long-term invest- ment, 28.5 per cent for short- term investment and 9.5 per cent for trading. In the category of sex, males greatly predominated in trans- actions by public individuals. The study says a probable rea- son for this is the Quebec civil code, which stipulates that mar- ried women living in the prove ince of Quebec cannot trade on the stock market unless they are separate as to property. Total for males was 82.5 per cent as against 15.9 per cent for females and 1.6 per cent for joint accounts. The New York survey showed 71.7 per cent of trading by males and 28.3 per cent by females. that of institutions. In percent- ages, public individuals -- the general public--bought and sold 50.4 per cent'of all shares, in- stitutions and _ intermediaries 19.8 per cent and MSE and CSE members and others 29.8 per cent. A similar survey by the New York Stock Exchange in 1961 disclosed that public individuals bought and sold 51.4 per cent of the total exchange turnover, in- stitutions and _ intermediaries 26.2 per cent and exchange members and others 22.4 per cent. The higher percentage shown for members and unknown trad- ers in the Montreal study is at- tributable, in large degree, to the substantial participation in arbitrage transactions, the study says. Arbitrage is traffic in stocks to take advantage of different home in Tecumseh. Driver Jailed - For Seven Days A 22-year-old driver got his first conviction in Oshawa Mag- istrate's Court Monday and was jailed for seven days. Rudy Ralph Cziranka, 277 Lakeshore road, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of being drunk in charge of a car. Constable Cleo Thompson told the court Cziranka was stopped on Dec. 22 at Simcoe and Gibb streets. He smelled of an intoxicating bevera: and was unsteady on his feet, the officer said. Cziranka told the court he had been at a friend's garage where he drank two beers and prices in other markets. a glass of whisky.
