'| FEW DEVELOPMENTS Meeting To Study Work On Relations The Oshawa Fish and Game Association will be hosts this weekend to the Ontario Federa- tion of Anglers and Hunters ments other than from within Because of imagination in in- dustry the printing industry is in the midst of one of the great- est revolutions of the century, D, M. Alloway, president of the Times Publishing Company of Oshawa Limited, told a group day night. "The Dupont Company, which printing industry," he said, "to- day is in a multi-million dollar research program that prom- ises to shake to the roots our traditional printing plate con- cept and, incidentally, one very deeply entrenched craft union." Mr. Alloway did not elaborate on what he was referring to. His. remarks were addressed to the Oshawa and District Chap- He said a few years ago in the printing industry any develop- the indusiry itself were unheard of. Nowadays several other in- dustries are turning their imag- ination towards the printing in- dustry. One of the reasons for failure to give a place to imagination, Mr. Alloway said, is that "we are not moving away from our professional or vocational basis often enough". "A deliberate allocation of time and interest in areas of business other than your own Sees Imagination Growth Factor sharp and perhaps give you an idea for a real break-through on your job," he told his audience. HANDCUFFS ON MIND Many organizations fail, Mr. Alloway said, because of a lack of creativity. As reasons for this he mentioned the "stodgy inflex- ible old organization", and the fact that there comes to be a way of doing things, which, he metaphorized, "'is like handcuffs on the mind." Another inhibition, he said, is the subtle shift from emphasis on goals rather than of method. An accountant can easily be- come concerned with the method of recording rather than the goal of the organization. "Our minds tend to think backward rather than forward, he said. VESTED INTEREST "In any organization many of the ways of doing things are held in place not simply by habit or inertia, but by vested interest," the speaker said later. "Certain rules and customs re- main in force simply because their chan,e would put in hazard the rights, privileges or advantages of specific individu- als. "The capacity of an organiza- tion to be creative and to meet new challenges depends on the individual,"" Mr. Alloway said. "Thus, the organization will only have the power of using a "place for imagination" if the individuals within it have the capacity of using their imagin- will keep this creative faculty ations." Zone 5 meeting to be held Sun- day, March 24, commencing at 9.30 a.m. in the Woodview Park Clubhouse, Cadillac avenue north. There will be reports present- ed on big game hunting, fish- ing, preservation and many others, but of special interest to the sportsmen of this area will be the report on the Farmer- Sportsmen Relations Survey which is being conducted by many of the clubs in Ontario. The purpose of the survey is to find out whether the farm- er's land is posted, whether he allows hunting with permission, how much damage has been caused by sportsmen to his property over the years, and whether he is satisfied with gen- eral hunting and fishing condi- tions in the province. During the last few years due to the carelessness and neglect on the part of a small number Cock Fight Report Probed For the past nine months, hu- mane society officials and the Ontario Provincial Police have been investigating a report that cockfights are being held on a farm near Oshawa. This was disclosed Thursday night by Inspector Stanley Mit- chell at the annual meeting of the Oshawa Society for Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals held in Adelaide House. He said he has had the farm under si ce since last June, "but they're too smart for me and I haven't been able to catch them." POLICE AID SOUGHT He requested the help of the OPP Whitby detachment, but as yet, they too have been un- able to establish any concrete], evidence. For about a month after he was told about such operations, he went to the farm on Fri- days, hoping to find some of the birds covered with blood. Inspector Mitchell hinted. that his tipster was someone who had suffered extensive gam- bling losses, betting on cock- fights. He said his source believes the farm is only used as a place to keep the fighting cocks, and that the actual. fights float Whitby Man Named Head Of Planners Cc. L. Jenkins, Whitby plan- ming board chairman, was re- elected chairman of the Oshawa Regional Planning Association Thursday night. His first year as chairman was 1962. William Woodcock, Oshawa planning board chairman, will replace A. J. Cole of Bowman- ville as ORPA vice-chairman. In his 1962 report Mr. Jen- kins expressed disappointment that the year was '"'not as suc- cessful as we had hoped." Said Mr. Jenkins: "We hoped area councils would get behind and support regional planning more than they did. Lately, however, the elected represen- tatives are showing more in- terest. "The provincial government could show more leadership," he added, "by better legislation pertaining to regional planning and providing more help in set- ting up regional boards." The Association ended the fis- cal year (Jan. 31, 1963) with a balance of $2246. Representa- tives decided to keep the annual membership fee at $150. animals carelessness, lack of education." Mr. Armour said there has been growth of the humane movement in the past 10 years, but predicted that it has been nothing to what will happen in the next decade. He recalled the incident at from place to place so they won't be discovered. Inspector Mitchell is also sure that the cockfights are still go- is shared by Peter Armour, president of the Ontario SPCA, who said, has got to be a province-wide problem. I know of several peo- ple I suspect are involved in such operations, but I can't catch them in the act." - INVESTIGATIONS Other investigations made by the SPCA here last year in- cluded cats stranded up poles; a budgie bird left in a store window over the weekend; dogs running in a pack in the New- tonville area creating a safety problem for children; dogs suf- ering from malnutrition, dis- temper and hit by cars. Ralph S. Jones, president of the Oshawa Society said, 'some treated rather roughly by people who don't really intend to be that way, but perhaps it is done through indifference and ing on. His opinion are Burford, Ont., last June where 67 dogs were seized and a third had to be destroyed. "They were being used for medical research," he said, "and were suffering from mal- nutrition so badly they were living off the carcasses of other dead dogs." : LACK INSPECTORS He said the province's short- coming is the lack of qualified inspectors to police such de- plorable activity. Mr. Armour asked Inspector Mitchell how many charges he laid in 1962. "None", he said. "This is typical of most so- cieties," said Mr, Armour, "not laying charges, and you can't tell me there shouldn't have been some laid." "When you get callousness and complete disrespect for the law, hit them hard," he urged. "it of hunters, much of the land in Southern Ontario has been post- ed and hunting is not allowed. It is hoped that by the informa- tion gathered from these sur- veys something can be done to help alleviate this serious prob- lem lem. The meeting is open to any interested people in the area, and it is hoped many will turn out.

Sheridan and Mrs. R.|# Correlieu--The life and works Several months ago, Major Fred Lewis, the commanding officer of the Oshawa Citadel Corps, received word from the Salvation Army Territorial Headquarters in Toronto, that Commissioner W. Wycliffe Booth, the Commander for the Canada Territory, had chosen him and Major J. Sloane, of Vancouver, to represent Can- ada at the next International College for Officers im London, England, during the months of April and May. The International Staff Train- ing Lodge was started in May, 1905, and groups of officers re- cigved instruction adapted to the needs of their particular appointments. It was founded primarily to advance the spirit- ual and administrative effec- tiveness of the Salvation Army. COMMUNAL LIFE The present college, estab- lished in 1950, has welcomed off- icers from all parts of the world for intensive training. Its com- munal life contributes. richly to international understanding and unity. World policy, and cur- rent problems occupy a place in the curriculum. Discussions, demonstrations and _ lectures range from army history, to contemporary use of modern techniques in evangelism. Re- ports given by the students give light on conditions in many lands. Recent sessons have includ- ed student-officers from Africa, India and Philippines, Indonesia, the South American Countries and other countries calling for indigenous leadership. Major Lewis will be leaving Oshawa on Tuesday morning, March 26, and will sail from New York, 2rriving in London, England, about April 1. WIFE TO DO WORK During the major's absence, the Corps will be commanded by Mrs. Major Lewis and she .|will be assisted by married Officer Chosen For U.K. Course MAJOR FRED LEWIS officer-cadets from the Train- ing College, Toronto, While the Major is in Eng- land, he will be visiting some of the famous Salvation Army Corps and Institutions, such as Regent Hall, Clapton Congress Hall, The Red Shield Club, The Salvation Army Assurance So- ciety and the Salvationist Pub- lishing and Supplies. Sunday, March 24, will be the last Sunday before Major Lewis sails for England, and he will be speaking at the Holiness meeting at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Salvation meeting and giving his "farewell" address. After the evening service re- freshments will be served in the Sunday School rooms, and the Soldiers and friends of the Corps will be able to personal- ly wish Major Lewis '"God- speed." Major and Mrs. Lewis have been in Oshawa only nime months, and they have made a host of friends in the commu- nity who with the Oshawa Salva- tionists, wish for him a safe journey and a wonderful trip. The Oshaton Simes SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1963 - PAGE NINE BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION ENDORSES PARKING GARAGE Executive directors of the Oshawa Bosiness Men's As- sociation were enthusiastic Thursday night in their en- dorsation of this proposed three-storey parking garage, planned for a downtown site. First floor parking is hidden in the drawing and additional spaces could be added through installation of basement park- ing area. "Parking is our No. 1 problem downtown," said OBA president Dean Kelly, 'and this, basically, is the only im- mediate relief for off-street parking." He hinted that an Oshawa industrialist is inter- ested in building such a park- ing garage on one of two sites in the city. "It both beauti- tifies and solves the problem," said Mr. Kelly. He estimated the price of the structure shown above as about $1,000,- 000. Price would go up, of course, as more tiers were. added. Dr. Jackson To Direct Discussion Dr. C. H. Jackson of the Osh- awa Mental Health Clinic will act as moderator of one of the panel discussions to be held at the provincial mental health conference being held March 22 and 23 at the Park Plaza Hotel, Toronto. Other members of the panei will be Dr. H. W. Henderson, di- rector, community mental health, Ontario Department of Health; Ernest Majury, of the family services of Peel County and Mrs. R. E. Smart, division board of directors. The panel discussion will be held following an address by Dr. Paul Christie, superintend- ent of the Ontario Hospital, Queen street, Toronto, whose theme will be "How CMHA may assist in developing. community mental health services". More than 200 delegates from the 25 branches of the associa- tion across the province will at- tend. Other speakers will include Dr. J. S. Werry, psychiatrist at the Montreal Children's Hospi- tal; the Hon. Mr. Justice Arthur Kelly, chairman of the Ontario Mental Health Foundation and Mrs. Joan Dranita, MSW, of the social service department, On- tario Hospital, Queen street, To- ronto. ACTOR SELLS LAND MOORPARK, Calif. (AP) -- Actor Joel McCrea, who has a 650-acre ranch in Moorpark, has sold another 1,000 acres of adjacent land for $3,000,000.

The first was regarding the varying width of the road from two to three lanes, on the Springville hill, a short distance south of the Trans-Canada By- pass intersection. The road has three lanes on the hill then changes to two and back to three again at the intersection. The second was about the tending a traffic safety seminar Taking part in the seminar Blay, signals engineer of the de- partment's central registry; B. regional traffic engi- neer, Toronto; and J. L. For- ster, maintenance engineer, Port Hope division. Host for the occasion was Constable Frank Clough, acting officer-in-chief of In 1962, Ontario had 94,231 traffic accidents on its highways and county. roads and 1,383 peo- ple were killed as the result of them. This high death toll is 117 more than in 1961; Mr. Mahony said. "The purpose of holding this seminar is to find out from you members of the police force what additional measures, what improvements, we can make in our highways which will reduce The police officers were asked' for examples of highways which could be improved. Their sug- gestions included part of Hign- way 28 at Bailieboro, where tions without realizing the speed There were also complaints about the two interchanges on northerly interchange at the Five-Mile Turn, where signs are somewhat misunderstood. Mo torists eventually found them: selves in the wrong lane. In replying to these com: plaints, Mr. Blay said that the reason for the highway revert- ing to two lanes before the first turn-off to Peterborough was to slow down traffic before it could enter three lanes for the for this purpose. As to the sec- ond complaint regarding signs, it was possible these could be however, too pre-occupied. NAME TOWNS to the town. This information was particularly of value to the larger than the name Cobourg. the flasher lights on the depart- ment's snow plows and some of- as it might be.

"We are carrying out these tests to see how more ef- made." Department statistics support- ed by the comments of police Whitby detachments more popular. There was a year. when the average was 4,400. Use of the old highway was reduced by Highway 401 which runs parallel. "Will the speed limit on High- way 401 be raised to 70 mph" one officer asked. J.

"As a group, Kiwanians do not support any one political party," he explained, "but all Kiwanians are interested in poli- tics." Mr. Mitchell said this is one way Kiwanis Clubs can take in the program of service set out for them. "Another great service mem- bers can perform is guidance of "the wealth of our nations-- our young people," he said, He told the members that, as busi- nessmen, they should be pre- pared to offer vocational guid- ance if any student asks for help.

Questioned as to whether Club Enjoys Sugar Party The Oshawa French Canadian Club. held a most successful sugaring off party last Sunday at the Kiwanis Camp at Kedron. More than 450 people attended and 100 gallons of maple sap were used. Among the guests were the three candidates in the federal election in Ontario Riding: Nor- man Cafik, Liberal; Aileen Hall, NDP and Michael Starr, Pro- gressive Conservative.

He said the signs were distinct, and confusion arose from the fact that high speed did not allow for correct read- ing, or that the motorist was Other officers raised the issue of signs on Highway 401, asking whether it would not be better if the name of the town were emphasized more than the: name of the street or connecting link tourist.

Questioned as to the number of car - train accidents, Mr, Mahony stated these are not as frequent as many suppose. The incidence is one-half of one per cent of all accidents but 32 per cent of these are at properly signalled crossings, and in 30 per cent of the cases the car collided with the train. The biggest problem, which is being faced by the department Mr. Mahony said, is hypnosis of the driver. "One might re- move a curve to make a high- way more safe only to find that by. doing so one increases the tedium of driving." * That the department is facing 'jall kinds of trouble is seen by the fact that when it installs along Highway 401 wire mesh fencing to prohibit pedestrians crossing, some pedestrians even go out at night and cut sections of the wire fencing so they may cross at will, One of the contributing causes for accidents, too, is the wears ing down of shoulders at curves, and it has been suggested that the pavement on such curves be painted as a guide. During the discussion it was revealed that some of the picnie areas on Highway 401 would be removed as these are tending to become traffic hazards. Mr. Mahony said the depart- ment was deeply indebted to the individual officers of the On tario Provincial Police. "Keep . your suggestions for highway improvement coming and give us all the road infor- mation possible on your accident reports," he urged.
