(CP) -- Oshawa Green Gaels moved closer to the Minto Cup Wednesday night while New Westminster Salmonbellies com- plained about the work of a ref- | § eree. "We don't want that same ref- eree again," said coach Keith 3 Jackson after his club lost 10-7 to the Gaels in the battle for the Canadian junior lacrosse ti- tle. The Gaels took a-.2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The work of referee Earl Mc- Donald was '"'terrible,"' said Jackson who planned to request a change before the third game of the series here Friday night. Jackson said his Salmonbellies played a better game than Mon- day when they lost 15-13, but his club still "'blew it." Jim Bishop, coach of the On- tario squad, sqid the game was "one of the best our club has played this season." "New Westminster was much tougher out there than they were Monday and the game (Gaels' star forward) has been held to two points in a game in two years--and Davis played| one of the best games ever." Ken Thompson scored two goals for the Gaels and set up! five more, One of the goals and one of the assists came during 25 seconds of the fourth quarter which began in a 7-7 tie. Bill Armour, picked up from Hastings, Ont., for the series, scored three goals. Jim Hink- son, Brian Thompson, Jim Higgs and Gaylord Powless rae out the Oshawa scor- ing.

"This occasion marks the celebration of a 100 years of library service to the people of Oshawa." ; JOHN P. ROBARTS, Thompson flicked the ball past Ridd and broke into the Oshawa scoring column. Holding a 3-1 edge at the first! quarter, New Westminster soon} fell beneath the pressing power play of the Gaels in the second. Armour blasted in two and Hinkson got one--all on power plays. The battle see-sawed until 7.09 of the fourth when Powless, with peerless stickhandling and a surge down the floor, went in alone to put the winner past Ridd.

B. Dymond of Port Perry, Ontario Minister of Health, who was the guest speaker; Miss Jean Fetterly, chief librarian and Col, R. §, McLaughlin, the donor of the new library. --Oshawa Times Photo Health Minister Warns Of Censorship Danger The Honorable M. B. Dymond, MD, Minister of Health for On- tario, warned an Oshawa audi- ence Wednesday evening to keep censors under constant. surveil- lance and control. He was addressing the Cana. dian Club of Ontario County Din- ner at Hotel Genosha, celebrat- ing the Centenary of the found- ing of the first Oshawa Public Library and the 10th anniver- sary of the McLaughlin Library. He told the audience that they must watch "the censor -- self appointed or otherwise -- who would be judges of what we should or should not read." "Let me urge you," he added, |"'to consider long and deeply if |they really serve any useful pur- pose. May we hope a new day is dawning now that Hamilton, Ont., has decided to put an end to all censorship." GUARANTEE OF DEMOCRACY Free libraries and books, he said, are one of the guarantees} of our democracy, and the art of printing, the right to publish, and the circulation of books have done more to advance freedom than almost'any. other happening in the world. "The first thing tyrants want to do," Dr. Dymond added, "is to burn books, I am sure that if any tawdry tyrant ever rose in this country, among the first to be liquidated would be those in control of our books and libraries, unless they agreed to purge our libraries of all books except those which contribute to the glory of tyranny in general and the tyrant in particular," Dr. Dymond praised the board of directors and staff of the Osh- awa Library throughout the years for the fine job they had done, and paid tribute to their sense of public duty. "I am told," he said, 'that few cities have facilities that are better or where there is fostered with more devotion a greater in- terest in the use of books -- an interest that is growing steadily year by year." ENJOY HERITAGE Speaking of the value of books and libraries, he said that they make it possible for everyone to enjoy the heritage of all man- kind through all recorded time. "The founding of a library," he said, 'is one of the greatest things we can do with regard to results and the perpetuation -- the maintenance and expansion of the library enhances the re- turns on the investment we make." Dr. Dymond made a special point of congratulating the City, of Oshawa and the Library Board for their provision of spe- cial reading material for the education of New Canadians. He said that adult education is a worthwhile and rewarding func- tion lying within the scope of, the library to perform. In closing he said he hoped the McLaughlin Library would continue, "in every truth a mighty treasure house for all the good neighbors who live in this neighborhood -- that it may bring joy to the young, help to the student, philosophy to the thoughtful, knowledge to the eager seeker after truth, and richness to all who come within its doors."' Mayor Lyman A. Gifford, in extending greetings from the educational building in itself, and the citizens of Oshawa were very grateffl for its existence, He cited as an example the rise in book circulation, which has gone from 181,773 in 1954 to over 400,000 during the past year. LOOK TO EXPANSION The Bookmobile, he said, had been a great success, He add- ed that the city is investigating the possibility of securing more land if it were needed for an extension to the libraty. At the same time he cautioned members of the Library. Board to scrutinize their budget care- fully, as they have dene in the past. Since the McLaughlin Li- brary was erected, he said, it's been in excellent. safekeeping b of the istently good Library Boards it has had. More than 300 people attended the dinner at which Colonel R. S, McLaughlin was guest of honor, Telegrams of congratula- tion and greetings were sent hy General Georges- P. . Vanier, Prime Minister Lester B. Pear- son, Premier John -Robarts, Leonard: W. Brockington, QC, and the Honorable Leslie M. Frost. Chairman Frank M. McLellan, president of the Canadian Club of Ontario County, said he was very pleased with the large turn- out and invited guests to attend an. open house at the McLaugh- lin Library following the dinner. The Invocation was given by Archdeacon H. D. Claverdon, of the Oshawa Ministerial Associa- tion, and the benediction was pronounced. at the close by the Rt. Rev, Paul M.

More money has been spent from the Poppy fund this year than has been spent in the last few years and for this reason a greater 'effort will be made to make a_ success of this |year's Poppy Day.

If illness strikes, or some unforeseen incident happens, they just do not have the money to cope with it and the Poppy Fund is called upon to assist them. Last week, W. R. Buck, a Legion Service officer from Pro- vincial Command in Toronto, was in Oshawa. He interview- ed 21 people concerning pen- sions, treatment, benevolent fund assistance, widow's allow- ances and various other prob- lems affecting the veterans. From these interviews, applica- tions must be filled- out, claim forms must be filed and many letters must be written. In addi- tion, a personal approach must be made in some cases to the Pension Commission. The latest release from Pro- vincial Command show that in the months of April, May and June 880 interviews were held by Legion Service officers and 76 branches were visited. These officers drove over 5,000 miles and had 2,000 letters written on behalf of the veterans. As a result pension adjustments to the value of $9,304. per month were negotiated.

McLaughlin re- ceived tributes and thanks from members and guests of the Canadian Club of Ontario County dinner meeting Wednesday evening. The occasion was a dinner given by the club at Hotel Gen- osha marking the centenary of the founding of the first Oshawa Public Library and the 10th anniversary of the construction of the McLaughlin Library, and the honors were given for his record of public service. "Col. McLaughlin," said The Right Honorable M. B. Dymond, M.D., Minister of Health for Ontario, "is one of a small com- pany who may be dubbed "Great Canadians." His concern that his friends and fellow citi- ens should have access freely to books is evident. in the fine library building now_10 years old--a building about which one hears many commendations in places far distant from Oshawa. Mayor Gifford said that the people of Oshawa would always be very appreciative of the McLaughlin was responsible for constructing the library and for the many other services he had done the com- munity, Laurence P. Savery, chairman the McLaughlin Public library he had built, "ranks in any city of comparable size We owe a great deal to 'Col. Sam.'

McLaughlin among the finest of any library], Mr. Sam' make him uncomfortable. It grew worse, he said, as he grew older, "T"ve been doing nothing but blush since my birthdays have improved," he said. 'Frankly, though I'm very touched, and I know the compliments are sin- cere--they embarrass me," Col. McLaughlin said it had been an honor to be able to offer a library to the people of Oshawa. The old one had been overrun by. 1952, he said, so he had offered to build a new one. "We decided to build in 1954 a fine, dignified building -- a building that the city could be proud of. Great care was taken over the plans so that we could achieve the best possible library, and I think we succeded." Once built, he said, the library has continued to improve. Be- cause of its size it has. been possible to add new attractions, . such as departments for music, films, reference, auditorium ex- hibitions and lectures, as well as better facilities for the staff. He said he hoped he could be of further use to the city of Oshawa in the future. This was his home, he said, and he would be in Oshawa until the end of his days. "But you know," he added, "if I live to be 100 years old, as everyone is urging me to do, I'll be one of two things .. either a curiosity or a nuisance . and I don't want to be either." Chairman Frank M. McLellan, however, sparked applause from the audience when he issued a special invitation to Col, Me- ughlin to appear before the Canadian Club on his own Cen- tenary. ' "Col. Sam" accepted the in- vitation. +
