2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, September 1, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- 2 SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE OSHAWA FAIR . The curtains have closed on another edition of the Osh- Fair, which has had its share of bad luck on the second day and remained; three-day turnout totalled 8,460 ) \ President Walter Beath (and indeed the majority of his directorate) is adamant in his stand that the fair was held gt the right time of . year, when GM workers and the kiddies were on holiday simultantously, but there is strong opposition in some quarters to an August fair. The dissidents feel that WALTER BEATH the fair--long plagued by ill- ness at the box office--would draw better at a September or October date; but there is one hindrance to such an arrangement in that its playing dates must not con-, flict with those of other dis- trict fairs, This year's directorate displayed far more initiative, originality than its predecessurs, which prevented the fair from becoming a colossal flop. For example, by recruiting advisory groups from cross-sections of the Cify to determine the wishes of those outside the fold, the fair was able this year to make a strong pitch to the younger fry via such things as a beauty contest, hit-parade musical units and marching bands. The fair still falls short of doing an adequate advance promotion job. This year's effort was a great improvement, and undoubtedly the lack of funds prevents a more compre- hensive program, but a better effort will have to be made if the fair is to ever reach its potential at the box office. 14 CITIES USE WARD SYSTEM A reader has requested a re-print of a recent column which showed 18 Ontario cities using the City-wide system of electing aldermen and 14 using the Ward system (popula- tion figures are for 1962).

A high Progressive Conserva- tive source said Monday night the official opposition party is prepared for a 'vote shortly on the party's motion outlining four questions for a national flag plebiscite. ; The questions, proposed Aug. 13 by Ken More (PC--Regina): 1. Are you in favor of the Canadian Red Ensign? 2. Are you in favor of the Canadian Red Ensign with changes made thereon to show the main heritages of both founding races? 3. Are you in favor of the three maple leaves design? 4, Are you in favor of a one maple leaf design?

Herridge (Koot- enay West), also spoke Mon- day, backing the Conservative demand for a plebiscite.

At the next election, the Red Ensign and a design selected by the commit- tee should be placed before the voters for decision.

His subject will be Canadian Criminal Court Procedure and Cana- dian Law In General. Don't be surprised if he returns with 8 Mississippi accent... . The Ontario Reformer (Oshawa) of Friday, May 13, 1918, carried this news heading: "BOARD OF EDUCATION SAVES BY BUYING COAL EARLY" -- the story mentioned that the Board held its regular monthly meeting in the City Council Chamber with "only a bare quorum present." WORDS IN PRAISE OF THE HAWKEYES Those Oshawa Hawkeyes of the eight-team Ontario Junior Football Conference deserve more box-office support than they received last Friday night at Kinsmen Stadium when 200 of the faithful turned out, . Football buffs who pass up Coach "Dunc" Brodie's :eam should reconsider. The brand of gridiron fare provided in the OJFC would surprise many. It is fast, rugged, exciting. They did lose Friday, 30-0, to the rugged, tough Lake- shore Bears, last year's champs (some of whom weigh tn at 240-250. pounds); but the Hawkeyes, nevertheless, were im- pressive, as anyone who saw the game knows. There are some strategic defensive weak spots on the team that can easily be plugged, Three times on punts, Hawkeyes received but dropped the ball. Two of these blossomed into touch- downs. Kicker Johnny Lindsay can boot the pigskin in Big Four fashion for 45-50 yards, but he needs far more protec- tion than he Had been getting. The pass protection could also be improved, With these gaps plugged, the Hawkeyese could be serious contenders. They have some starry performers like "Ted" i ski and Quarterback Nichelisheo. es a sia teat Don't forget their next game at Ki Stadi i night against Ratievaak" ' ee acd tid The calibre of football in the OJFC is superb, Anglicans Puss Fund Objective By DUNCAN McWHIRTER LENNOXVILLE, Que.

"We are running about five per cent in comparison with the U.S., which if anything is be- low normal for this time of year," Mr. King said. All the backlog will be sold, he predicted, but some might not go until after the new cars appear. Mr, King said more than 500,- 000 cars were sold in Canada last year and by 1970 the num- ber should increase to about 800,000 when persons in the 25 years-of-age group will make up more than 50 per cent of the population.
