Rt, Rev, G. B. Snell, co-adju- tor bishop of Toronto Diocese, will officiate at a service of re- dedication Nov. 11 when furnish- ings from the first and second Anglican Churches in the city will be rededicated to future use by the church. St. Peter's, a parish which came into being in 1950, re- ceived the font, reredos, altar and retable, reredos, pulpit, organ and windows from the disestablished parish of the Holy Trinity, as well as altar furnish- ings. Members of the clengy who have served both parishes in the past will be present at the serv- ice. IN FIRST CHURCH Rev. Leonard Ware, rector of St. Peter's, said recently that the altar and font were used in the first St. George's Ohurch which stood on King street, west of the Oshawa Creek. | Re-dedication The reredos and pulpit were first used in the second St. George's, which was erected on the site of the present Memorial Park, in 1852. The stained glass windows over the altar are more than 100 years old and depict the Ascen- sion of Christ, in the centre light, flanked by the annointing of the feet of Christ by Mary of Bethany on the left, and show- ing Mary of Magdala at the tomb of Christ on Easter Morn, on the right. The reredos was the organ| front at Holy Trinity and was altered to 'fit the wall behind the present altar. "It was a shame to lose the beauty of the hand carved oak,' Rev, Ware said. The pipe organ was bought for |the second St. Geonge's and was given to Holy Trinity parish when it was formed. Rev. Ware estimates that it is the finest jorgan in this area, and was built at the Williams Piano Works, Oshawa. The pulpit is dedicated Ao the {memory of the dead of both | | Wednesday. Scheduled Saturday annual Poppy Day. In common with the organizations branches from coast to coast, members of the Royal Canadian Legion of Oshawa and its Ladies' Auxili- ary will be on the streets of the city selling the replicas of Flan- ders' poppies so that every citi- zen will have an opportunity of wearing a poppy during the during the period of Remem- 'brance Week, and particularly on Remembrance Da y next The Poppy Day Committee of the Legion thas been working for some weeks in preparation for this annual effort. Actually, the campaign to raise money for the Branch poppy fund will start this evening with a door to door canvass to send the Poppy Day effort off to a good beginning. But tomorrow morn- ing the major effort, that of selling poppies to people on the city streets, will be in full swing. Many of the poppy sellers will be veterans who have served in the two world wars, and who willingly give of their time on Poppy Day to help swell the Poppy Fund which is used for the relief of war veterans and dependents who are in excep- tional need. |MADE BY VETERANS In addition to providing pop- pies which the Legion asks all citizens to wearin honor of the city's service men who gave their lives in defence of their country and homes, there is a two-fold important social pur- pose being Poppy Day. The first is that all poppies and wreaths distributed by the Legion are manufactured in the Vetcraft Shops of Canada, main- tained by the government to provide work for men whose dis- abilities make it impossible for them to do any kind of heavy work. Through this medium, they are enabled to be profitably employed, and keep themselves self-supporting by their own efforts. LOCAL FUNDS The proceeds of Poppy Day, after paying for the poppies and wreaths, go in their entirety into the Oshawa Branch Poppy Fund, which for over 35 years has been providing timely relief and assistance to. Oshawa vet- erns and their families, who, through various circumstances, usually associated with illness, are in need or distressed, In the last 12-month period, the Osh- awa Branch has disbursed ap- proximately $4000 in relief of Tommorrow will be Oshawa's |" T.

"I feel my many years of mu- nicipal experience will help me make a sound contribu-, tion to our city's education- al system." Mr. Thomas' political career started 21 years ago when he was elected to East Whitby Township Council. He served as Reeve of the Township and in 1948 scored an upset victory as a pro- vincial CCF candidate by defeati Conservative T, Kelso Créighton. He served Oshawa riding as MPP consecutively until September, 1963, when he suffered his first defeat at the polls at the hands of Albert Walker, a PC. Mr. Walker won the election by less iiian 800 votes, Mr. Thomas was born in Cardiff, Wales, the son of a railwayman, He received his formal education in Cardiff and came to Canada in 1929. His wife, Christine, served two years as mayor of Osh- awa prior to 1962 when she was defeated by Mayor Lyman Gifford. Rumors have indicated Mrs, Thomas may also seek a municipal post this year but no an- nouncement has been made. The Thomases were un- decided about their political future when interviewed by The Times on Oct. 23. How- ever, both said pressure had been exerted by many ped- Poppy Day T.D.

She also served several years as an alderman. The Thomases toured South Africa for seven months this year when they visited segregated provinces and districts on the "dark continent"'.

Drury indi- cated here that it may be some time before the Atomic Energy Control Board decides on the application by Ontario Hydro to construct a nuclear power sta- tion at Fairport, near Oshawa. The matter was raised in the Commons by Ontario Riding MP Michael Starr who asked been reached on the Hydro application for the Fairport site. He pointed out that the application had been received in Ottawa September 8 and two months had passed. Mr. Drury said that the ap- plication had been made but the application, as in such complex projects of this sort, was un- and further details are expected to be sought. In fact, further details have been sought and, in the nature of things, it is likely that when the second set of information has been obtained, the scientists will ask for more," Mr. Drury replied. "'This is quite normal. It is expected by Ontario Hydro and by Atomic Enengy Control Board. I understand the time be- ing consumed in examining the facts in relation to this particu- lar site will in no way hold back the timetable which Ontario Hydro has for the construction of the station. Indeed, were Atomic Energy Control Board to grant a permit tomorrow, this would not advance the construc- tion of the building by one day." likely to be complete in itself Mr. Starr said great interest o Decision Yet On Fairport Plan had been created in the project and local people wanted to if a decision had been reathed. "Once we know the site has been approved, that will ease the minds of a lot of people," Mr. Starr commented. Mr. Drury said it was not so much a question of approving the site as examining what Hydro proposes to do and how it proposes to do it at Fairport. "In relation to the initial pro- posals of Ontario Hydro for the operation of this station, the Atomic Energy control board made some counter-suggestions as to how it should be'done, It is the interplay of -- and counter-suggestion, looki: | toward the safety of the gene' public, which takes times," Mr. Drury said.
