BEST IN HISTORY OMSC -chairman for 1968, Dave O'Flynn reported that the year had been the best in club history with more rs participating in every phase of club activity. During 1963, he said, club membership had increased by about 20 per. cent bringing the number on membership rolls to 73 on Dec, 31.' The Oshawa Motor Sport Club was founded in 1950 with about 20 members. One OMSC member, Ted Mit- ton, was recently elected to serve as vice-president of the Canadian Automobile Sport Club during 1964. CASC is the governing body of the sport in Canada. Two members of the Oshawa club, O'Flynn reported, are pre- paring Canada Class cars for racing during the 1064 season. They are Al Reading and Don Jeyes. BUILT FROM SCRATCH Reading's car is being built from scratch and promises to be ready for track tests during the spring. Construction details of the car are at present a close- ly guarded secret, All that is known so far, is that unit-body construction is being employed, together with a BMC "A" block engine and Volkswagen trans- mission. O'Flynn noted that Reading, national champion in Canada Class racing during 1062, is seeking a sponsor to. assist in covering entry fees and trans- portation of his car to and from meets during 1064, OMSC executive members for 1963 and their wives, made up the head table as follows: Onno Jansen, secretary; Mrs. Merle Jansen; Barry Bushell, compe- titions chafman; Mrs. Lois Bushell; Dave O'Flynn, presi- dent; Mrs, Cathy O'Flynn; Don Jeyes, treasurer; Mrs. Wilma Jeyes. Works V "He has never known a 40 hour week. He was available at all times during the day and night. He isn't a man who was content to let those under him carry the burden alone during ts of storm and flood; he as at the yard giving lead- and encouragement. have been many 9-ca- sions when important family events have had to take second place to the needs of the city. "At all times he has exhibit- ed a warm humanity which en- deared him to those who work- ed under him. They were aware of his interest in them as in- dividuals and not as numbers in a book. It was a natural thing for a man to phone him at 3 a.m. to tell him of the birth of a son." Mr. Crome presented Mr. and Mrs. Wood with a hi-fi radio combination. WHAT A BIRTHDAY Said Joe, looking out over the crowd: "I never anticipated anything like this. It's also my irthday you know. What a birthday! (he was 69). . He recalled "numsrous" Changes on an "onerous" job serving under "10 engineers and 25 mayors" since he joined the es * in July of 1920. "Great progres: been made here," said Joe Wood, Pag in the last seven I like to think the Board of Works has contributed that progress." * Earlier, Mr. Crome had re- called that "'one of Joe's first jobs --, the city was the re- of the old asphalt ye along the tracks orf each Saturday morn- A PROBLEM } "The paving blocks gave way concrete = asphalt pave- the potholes de- . It looked as though Jue would not see any change in this situation during his service. "However, last year the tracks were removed and this! is the first winter that Joe has not had to patch the potholes along the King street tracks." Acting Mayor Hayward Mur- doch gave his "sincere thanks to Joe for a job well done" on behalf of Mayor Lyman Gifford. Ald. Walter Branch, a former Board of Works chairman, said "Foe gave me the lowdown on my job. He has been a true and eteran * |Memorial 1 JOSEPH WOOD loyal servant. to this municipal- ity over 43 years.' HEALTH AND HAPPINESS "Retirement days filled with health and happiness" was the wish of Michael Starr, MP, who said his first year on city coun-- cil (1944) was spent as vice- chairman of Board of Works. Albert Walker, MLA and a nine-year man on council: 'He probably drove me from the ditches where I played as a kid. " . » , behind a- successful politician are two people -- wife and civil servant. They do the work; we get the credit. This is true with Joe. He worked very hard," Mel Anderson, a past presi- dent of Local , Canadian Union of Public Employees, (Board of Works local) pointed out Joe was a charter member of the local. "We will miss him," he , said, BORN IN ENGLAND According to program notes, Joe Wood was born in Wetley Rocks, Staffordshire, England. Following school, he worked with a firm of carpenters and wheelwrights, owned by his father and uncle. In 1915, Joe enlisted in the British Army, served with the Northumberland Fusiliers and later with the Royal Veterinary Corps. Five years later he was in Oshawa starting "'a career of long and faithful service with this municipality". On one of two trips back to England, Joe married the for- mer May Johnson, a nurse. He built a hous on Jarvis street, where he still lives. His two sons, Allan and Maurice, live in Oshawa. In 1961, the Hon. Fred M. Cass, Minister of Highways, presented Joe with a Long Ser- vice Award for '40 years vice with Oshawa in the cause' of good roads." He received the award at the 1961 annual convention of the Ontario Good Roads Association. Church Holds Youth Week Young people of Harmony Road. Baptist Church considered the "topic "Where are you going?" during their youth week which ended Sunday. The conclusion reached was that the answer to the question comes when "'we give our life to God and let Him guide us into the path of service where He wishes us." During the week the delegates discussed two topics in connec- tion with a study of Baptist Mis- sionaries in India. The group concluded that 'if we are fol- lowers of Christ, we are mis- sionaries."" Highlight of the week was a youth rally of the Baptist Churches in the Trent Valley Association, held in Gilmour Church, _Peterbo- rough. The youth enjoyed the skating, tobboganning, sleigh- jriding and hootenanny included jin the event.
