Year Reviewed By Rotarians Some of the highlights of the work of the club during the past year were reviewed Monday at the meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. During the meeting President Fay Brooks turned over the president's gavel to Murray Macleod, who will as- sume his duties as president on July 1. During the meeting it was reported that the Rotary Club of Oshawa Charitable Fund has assets totalling $2,174. During the year donations amounting to $1,375 were received and $375 was pledged to assist a student taking a university course.

In September a corvan was presented to the Oshawa Rehabilitation Council to transport pupils to Glen- holme School and the school at Simcoe Hall. The club sponsored the Dis- trict 707 Conference in Toronto in March with many of the members contributing to its success under the direction of -Rotarian Ken Crone.

This figure com- pares with 1119 last year. © Dr. C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of Public Schools, said the number of registrations can only be estimated at this time. By the end of May, 955 regis- trations had been received but some parents do not register their children until the last minute, he said. "At this time last year, 983 registrations had been received but by September many more had registered," pointed out Dr. Elliott, The children,. who must be five by Dec. 31, 1963, will at. tend 27 classes in the following schools: Cedardale, College Hill, Conant, Coronation, Dr. C. F. Cannon, Dr. S. J. Phillips, Duke of Edinburgh, E. A. Lovell, Gertrude Colpus, Harmony, Hillsdale, Mary, Queen Eliza- beth, Ritson, South Simcoe, Sun. set Heights, Vincent Massey, Westmount and Woodcrest.

"In the past, we have had a| kindergartens," said Dr. Elliott. He said permission had always been granted, provided that fees covering educational costs were paid by the parents. He said that about 24 caiis have been received recently, compared with four or five in other years. The board approved a motion to allow the children in the fringe areas to attend on a "first come, first served" basis, provided that the board could reserve the right to direct pupiils to schools where classroom va- cancies existed and that the fees be paid.

PORT HOPE -- Laborers' union, on strike at the Port Hope hospital job, may be faced with court action as a result of "illegal" strike activities, it was indicated Monday by R. D. Par- kins of Toronto, lawyer for the contractor. Further complications could be introduced because of a lack of definition in inter-union territorial jurisdiction, he said. Mr. Perkins said Local 598 International Hod Carriers and Common Laborers' Union, contravened the Labor Rela- tions Act in attempting to pre- vent Oliver Grading and Exca- vating from crossing the pic- ket line. The union is also at fault for using physical vio- lence to this end, he said. SAY MAN STRUCK One of Oliver's truck drivers was apparently struck in the face by a picket while cross- ing the picket line Friday morning, he said. Any man working on this job, except striking union men, is legally bound to cross the line and re- port for work on the job, said Mr. Perkins, Otherwise they are liable to a $100 fine. The striking union could receive a $1,000 fine for trying to stop them from crossing the line. The trucking firm complain. ed to town police Friday after the incident. Police have since Legal Action Seen Possible Meanwhile a company spokesman said Oliver was still under contract to make further deliveries of gravel. "We are waiting for the gravel trucks now," he said, "Truck loads of mixed concrete will probably be ordered this afternoon or tomor. row," he added. The two trucking firms in- volved, Oliver Grading and Port Hope Redi-Mix are non-union. Mr. Parkins' hint of an inter. union territorial dispute was based on his observation that the Oshawa local was bargain- ing for Port Hope workers who had formerly been represented by Cobourg local. "As far as I know they still are represent- ed by the Cobourg local," he Said. It is believed that the Oshawa union is trying to expand its jurisdictional territory by in. corporating Port Hope into its territory. The Oshawa local can legally bargain for the Port Hope work- ers, he said. "The company will not involve itself in this, We merely make the observa- tion that friction could be added by this complication." Board Approves made an investigation and re- stored order. ; Police Chief C. W. Graham said today that the unions had been allowed only a token pic- 'ket line of five men for each of the two job entrances. "Both lines appear peaceful and orderly this morning," he said. : Chief Graham said Oliver had agreed not to send any trucks across the lines today. Admits 18 Charges False Pretences An Edmonton man, pleading guilty to 18 charges of false pretences, asked for two years in the Kingston penitentiary and got them, Donald George Lee, told Ma- gistrate Frank S. Ebbs in the Oshawa court Monday he is an alcoholic and needs treatment. He pointed out there are fa- cilities in the Kingston jail, but not in a _ reformatory. The court was told Lee's trouble seemed to arise from his drinking. He bought mer- chandise with worthless cheques and sold it at cut prices and otitained alcoholic beverages from the proceeds.
