MRS. BERTHA (MOM) Whyte, 54, has returned to Canada from Northern. Niger- fa to raise funds and equip- ment for the Kabba Youth Training Centre, which she and her husband direct in.

(CP Wirephoto) "Mom" Whyte Returns Home For Fund Drive TORONTO (CP) -- Mrs. Ber- tha' (Mom) Whyte, controver- sial children's home operator, is back from Nigeria for a two- month fund-raising visit. The 54-year-old woman, whose Whytehaven mission near Bow- manville, 10 miles east of Osh- 'awa, was closed in 1959 after battles with welfare and health authorities, now heads an or- phan and youth training home in northern Nigeria. Mrs. Whyte hopes Canadians will. provide money and equip- ment -- farm machinery, trac- ters; an ambulance -- for her centre in Aiyetoro, Kabba prov- ince. She's also seeking spon- goers for orphans to be brought Nigeria after five years' resi- dence, She says she holds no resent- ment because Ontario health authorities closed her Bowman- ville home after disease struck the children. "For three months I was burned out, just like dead,"' she recalled. 'But today it is all for- gotten and gone. We were just instruments of God. Led by God, everything: has worked to tremendous detail." VILLAGE ISOLATED Two years ago in the isolated village of Aiyetoro, without any backing, she started a home for orphans, a school, a church, an to-Canada for an educati L service and a farm. Kabba Youth Training Cen- tre, according to Mrs. Whyte, teaches modern farming meth- ods to students who later serve terms as instructors. Mr 'Whyte says her centre also sup- ports 45 orphans. She is accompanied on her tour by daughters Jane, 15, and Ruth, 8, and Simeon Oluyomi, #%, a member of the centre's board of directors. She is car- rying exhibits of Nigerian handi- crafts made at the centre. WILL JOIN THEM Her husband, Bert, is co-head of the centre and their son, Ro- land has joined them in Nige- ria for two years with his wife and three children to operate a furniture factory. They expect to sell Canadian-type furniture in the Nigerian capital of La- gs. Her efforts commanded the ad- miration of the Nigerian Gov- ernment and the chief of Kabba Province. "Without you," the chief told her, "orphans woulq be buried with their parents." She was given governmental sanction. The chief proclaimed her work an official community project which Mrs. Whyte now heads. Villagers were made to feel responsible and lend volun- tary help. The agricultural minister has provided her with 12 boys to help on the 1,000-acre farm given her which she has hacked out of the jungle with a ma- chete. With the money she collects on the tour she hopes to pur- chase children's clothing and supplies and perhaps a tractor, Mrs. Whyte says she and her|an ambulance and some cattle. husband: will become citizens of "When our old truck breaks down," she commented, hospital." CARPENTRY SUCCESS Mrs. Whyte's son, Ron, has had considerable success with his carpentry workshop where he trains several men. To get wood he must fell, over a pit, mahogany trees 200 feet high and 12 feet thick. In order to saw it through, one man goes into the pit and the other stands on the tree. "Mom" cares for more than 45 orpahns in her "Baby House' In some cases the impoverished father still lives, but cannot look after the small baby. No place exists except Whitehaven, where a child is accepted with- out charge. TO TRAIN VILLAGERS Mrs, Whyte's intention is to train the villagers and her or- phans "'to desire a better stan- dard of living so they will not return to the primitive jungle existence. She hopes many will and helpers so she can expand. brightest children." she pursued in Canada, Mrs. Whyte will not away from her door so the need for funds is great.

New Blood Donors Badly Needed Every month our previous month, This is chiefly brought about by the increase in ation not only in Osh- awa itself but in the outlying areas, The more people we have more we can expect to have in our hospital. We all realize that our hos- pital: which was extended in size considerably a few years ago is already far too small. Every day more beds, rooms, facilities and staff are needed to handle the patients. Chairman Bob Stroud say.: "This means that those of us who have accepted the respon- sibility of finding donors and staffing blood clinics must find new donors not only to replace those who move away but to supply more and more bottles of blood to our blood bank every month and every year." There are about 5,000 regu- lar and active donors in our city. If we are to meet the =» alle that we can see in the future we will have to in- crease this number to 6,000. Giving. of blood is painless but many of us are afraid to go the first time. If the clinic that will be held 'this Thursday is to be success- ful we must have 70 or 80 new donors, people who have never ven in Oshawa before. The ours are from 1.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon and from 6 to 9 in the evening and the place is St. Gregory's auditorium, Sim- coe street north. Arrangements are being made hospital seems to use more blood for transfusions than it did in the in our community the) for extra staff so that we can take care of the denors who come without appointments. One never knows when' he or a member of his family will be the next person to be receiving blood transfusions. When it is needed it is good to know that the blood is on the shelves in the hospital blood bank.

This is the third year the rent has been at $4500 and last night Ald. Cliff Pilkey wanted to know why. Ald. John Dyer, chairman of the airport committee, told council the hangar must be used "for air purposes only" and because of this "not too many people want it". Ald. Pilkey suggested the committee ask the federal gov- ernment to reappraise the ren- tal conditions. (The city rents the land the hangar sits on from the federal government.) "This is costing us money," claimed Ald. Pilkey. '"'We paid $3500 alone for snow removal up there last year." Ald. Pilkey suggested the city is subsidizing a white elephant because '"'if General Motors wanted to pay to use it for stor- age, they couldn't."

By Monday afternoon 774 readers of the Oshawa Times had voted in favor of the Red Ensign as against 456 in favor of a distinctive flag. The same trend is apparent in a cross-Canada newspaper flag poll...

But editors report that many readers are scribbling a third choice on their ballots, Chatham Daily reports that three ballots have been cast for the Stars and Stripes, while one person used his ballot to say Canada must have a flag chosen by a vote of the people. Another Chatham reader used his vote to say that 'News- papers should keep their noses out of the issue and leave it up to the elected representatives of parliament."

Seek Aid With Cost Of Justice 'Hoping to cut losses such as the estimated $26,000 in 1064, Oshawa City Council Monday night endorsed a London, Ont., resolution calling on the Ontario government to assume the en- cost of county administra- tion of justice. Cost sharing by cities should be stopped, says the resolution, because municipalities use only a small part of available facili- ties and they are "neither a service to local taxpayers nor to the municipality." Also: "when compared to the direct expenses met by local municipalities, the amount of money returned through fines and forfeitures is insignificant." Council's finance chairman Ald. Walter Branch said Osh- awa has budgeted $133,585 for its 1964 share of Ontario Coun- ty court administration costs: county shared cost - $115,000; magistrate's court - $8275; ju- venile and family court - $10,- 310. Estimated revenue this year: court fines and fees - $45,000; unconditional grants - $62,146. The $107,146: total means an es- timated $26,000 which the city has to levy for to make up the difference. According to the resolution, the money goes to provide: jail and lockup facilities; guards' Salaries; court houses; coroner and pathologist salaries; pay for witnesses and jurors; post mortem and inquest fees; ac- commodation for division courts, magistrate's courts, ma- gistrates and staffs; accommo- dations for law library trans- portation of prisoners' admin- tire juvenile and family courts. istration and accommodation of SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1964 She Oshawa Simes PAGE NINE The members of the Osha- wa and Disizict Construction Exchange recently elected their executive for the ensu- ing year.
