"Why do we need voluntary fund-raising schemes when pub- lic expenditures for welfare ser- vices are rising so rapidly? In fact, if we look at figures, why did we give last year over $37 million to community chests and funds in Canada?" One of the answers to all this is so simple that we aré embar- rassed to face up to it. Reuben| Baetz, executive director of the| Canadian Welfare Council, said, in an address to the Atlantic Conference of United Appeals in April: "We feel good when we give voluntarily to worthwhile causes because then we feel we have done our duty. This sense of duty to give to and to help our neighbor is innate in al] man- kind; it goes beyond our sense of citizenship responsibilities -- and it goes beyond our payment of taxes for all purposes, includ- ing public welfare programs. When we have discharged all of our public and mandatory re- sponsibilities there remains within us the desire to do some- thing in the name of charity, "This feeling, which is ob- viously stronger in some people than in others, is neverthéless so universal that it cannot be corrupted or stamped out, It needs and demands avenues of expression. And this is why I would be ready to take all odds So giving makes us feel good. But what pleasure is there in giving when we do it in the name of the big fund-raising campaign conducted by a united appeal or community chest? Isn't it more charitable to help someone directly? to hand our donation personally to the agen- cy or individual that in our opin- jon needs it the most? UNITED CAMPAIGN The united campaign, just be- cause it is big, just because it is efficient, is not any the less a true instrument of charity. Nor is it a new idea. In the 12th century, the Jewish philosopher Maimonides commended giving to the community "alms chest" not only as a necessary and ef- ficient form of fund-raising, but also as one of the highest forms of charitable giving. The giver does not know who will receive the gift, nor do the poor know from whom the gift has been received, There is only one de- gree of giving higher than this, Maimonides says, and that is to take hold of a man who has| been crushed and to help him on| to his own feet so that he will not be dependent on his fellow} men: to help him to help him-| self, And this is the guiding prin-| ciple of most of our united-way agencies. | One of the biggest jwhy voluntary schemes must continue to ex- try is of course that the need is growing.

Mr. Renwick, accompanied by his"wife and daughter, attended the local riding's annual picnic at the farm of Bert Budai, RR 3, Bowmanville. Over 400 mem- bers and friends were present. An invitation (win, lose or draw ) was exten to Mr. Renwick during .his Riverdale; campaign, but it was antici- pated by local officials, because of the strenuous election and his many other committments, that a visit would hardly be possible. However, as Mr. Renwick said: "I welcomed the oppor- tunity to personally meet and thank the Oshawa area mem- bers for their best wishes and active support." Many local NDP officials canvassed in To- ronto on Mr. Renwick's behalf. NDP IMAGE "We won Riverdale, not be- cause of the candidate's image, but rather the image of the New Democratic Party," stated Mr. Renwick, who was introduced by Steve Melnichuk, association secretary. "We had the enviable combin- ation of hundreds of enthusiastic volunteer workers offering the best policy and program.

NO PUBLIC HINT Tommy and Christine Thomas, back recently from their visit in South Africa, also addressed the crowd. The Thomases ap- peared ready to continue their active participation in politics, but no-public hint was given as to any immediate plans for the next civic elections.

The Oshawa Suburban Roads Commission approved and en- dorsed the action of council in writing the Ontario Provincial Police and the Attorney-General concerning speeders on town- ship roads. "OPP have stepped up patrols in the area to good effect," re- ports township clerk M. W. Goldie. However, another road prob- lem was brought to the attention of councillors at their last meet- ing. Council was requested to do something about the garbage and bottles being thrown on roads, This has become a big prob- lem and strong measures are going to be taken to combat the matter. Council will seek the help of OPP in: eliminating the problem. BUS ROUTES Walter Beath of the high school board advised council of the two bus routes now in oper- ation to take township second- ary students to Port Perry and Oshawa. The road superinten- dent was requested to give spe- cial attention to the roads the buses will travel on during the school term. Mr. Goldie told council 65. per cent of the 1964 taxes have been collected and that the arrears of taxes for 1963 amounted to 4.24 per cent of the taxes and the 1962 arrears amounted to 1.5 per cent of the taxes. The dog control officer, during August, picked up 14 dogs and destroyed 12. The road superin- tendant reported the road pro- gram was progressing well.

A meeting is planned for next week at which trustees will question principals and vice- principals about results and teaching methods. The meeting is the result of action by separate school board representative Robert Nicol. He said at a meeting Monday night: "I want to see intelligent discussion on Grade 13, techni- cal education and lower grades. "I want to find out where we are strong and where we are weak. We should find out what can be done to improve the sys- tem." Mr. Nicol suggested princi- pals, vice-principals, heads of departments and Grade 13 trip to the station he fell asleep. "The man was drunk," Const. Collins stated, Sgt. D. Wood also said that when he arrived at the sta- tion. Humphreys performed tests to determine sobriety sat- isfactorily, the officer said, but not as well as a sober person. Magistrate H. W. Jermyn found the accused guilty on the reduced charge and imposed a $100 fine plus costs with the option of 15 days in the County car and during the subsequent Jail. Education Board =To Probe Gradel all Meet t Week teachers meet with the board te start discussions. It was agreed to call the meet* ing but department heads and teachers are not to be invited. « Mr. Nicol said: "I think the teachers should come because they might have problems wé would like to hear about. ' "Tam not starting a witch hunt nor am I after any per¢ sonalities."' ( Trustee S. E. Lovell said; "I think we are getting far afield bringing teachers into this meet- ing. It would do more harm than good. ' "We should deal through the principals. If I was managing @ business I would object if the board of directors began t question my employees. basically "This would be wrong." Mr. Nicol: "I want to know the problems teachers have in Grade 13." Mr. Lovell: "The day you start/going after teachers you will be undercutting principals. "We would not be right or justified in going around prin- cipals, We would in effect be saying we do not trust princi. pals' reports and want to inter- rogate staff." It was agreed to call the meet- ing for next week and discuss Grade 13 and principals were told they could invite vice-prin- cipals if they wished. Piers Teeling of the Oshawa Flying Club received a mark of 94 percent in the Govern- ment examinations for his private pilot's licence. This is believed to be the highest mark achieved by .anyone in the Oshawa Club this year. The present written examin- ation covers _ airmanship, weather, navigation and air regulations. It is part of the Government - approved flying training course at the Oshawa Flying Club which Mr. Teeling began in August, 1963. He has been attending lectures at the Club on Thursday evenings, and learning to fly in his spare time, on evenings and week- ends. Sydney Cowley, John Evans and Jim Pengelly have been his instructors, Mr. Teeling lives in Picker- ing. He is 27-year-old mechanic with a farm implement com- pany. SOLO FLIGHT Visitors to Oshawa's airport sometimes see an apparently lonely figure standing in the middle of the airfield. He is usually a flying club instructor, watching the first solo flight of one of his students, Having satisfied himself that the stu- dent is competent to fly alone, the instructor may ask, 'Would you like to take it up yourself." The seemingly casual, and seemingly unexpected question, is the beginning of the most exciting 10 minutes in a pilot's career, Four club members have made their first solo flights re- cently, They are Lane Fong, a Whitby -restaurant owner; Charles Fellagi, an Oshawa businessman; Douglas W. Pratt, a 24-year-old electrical engineer from Peterborough. Mr. Pratt began learning to fly last June and soloed after 10% hours of instruction. He is looking for- ward to owning his own plane so he can travel widely. Not all the flying is done by male club members. Mrs. Frank A. (Bill) Baker, who is a head nurse at the Oshawa General Hospital, also made her first solo flight recently. Mrs. Glenn Baker, also a nurse, has begun a_ special 'Co- pilots' course." It includes not only lectures on the theory of flight, but also. experience flying a light plane. At the conclusion of the training, she will be able Mechanic, 27, Gets 94% In Pilot Licence Exam to land her husband's plane, should it ever be necessary. Another eager student is Don Mills of Dunbarton, a Grade 10 student, he can be seen at the Oshawa airport on evenings and on weekends, practicing land ings and take-offs. He hadn't given much thought to flying, he says, until his parents gave him an hour's flying instruction for a birthday present. It took only an hour of flying for him to turn into an enthusiast. His other hobby is raising saddle tumbler pigeons. He displayed several at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition recently and won three third prizes. Edward Bennett, of Mimico, another club member, is busy rebuilding a 2-seat Piper Cub lightplane in the Oshawa hanger. i Neil Macdougall of Toronto recently gained his private pilot's licence at the Oshawa Flying Club. The home addresses of all these members indicate the way Oshawa has become a recrea- tional flying centre of some importance. Good runways and hangar facilities and a friendly atmosphere attract visitors from considerable distances. Three Oshawa naval cadets who plan a career with the RCN are pictured above.
