Used toys, especially those in need of renovation, should be left at Shell Oil stations in the City for delivery to agencies that will ready them for Christmas. This work will be done by senior citizens of Hillsdale Manor and members of Unit 42. The Canadian Corps Association; other organ- izations, such as the Salvation Army and Simcoe Hall Settlement House will assist in the distribution, along with other interested parties. This is a splendid way to help chil- dren who would not have too many toys otherwise. . Speaking of commendable works of charity, announce- ment this week that the Oshawa Christmas Cheer Fund was back in business for the 35th. consecutive year recalled to many that it was a product of the Depression era, that it has served the needy long and well. Much of its success in the old days was due to the efforts of citizens like the late Alex S. McLeese and the late Alex, Ross, who will long be remembered for this worthwhile enter- prise, PEOPLE INTERESTED IN OUR BUSINESS? The fervent hope of one and all is that interest in the Ward system locally will be such, come Monday, December 7, that it will offset any lethargy caused in the public mind by the recent announcement of an acclamation in the mayoraity race for Lyman Gifford. This eiection for a two-year term is too important to be ignored by thousands of potential voters (because of the un- expected turn of events in the race for the Chief Magistrate's office). Some experienced and able elected representatives have dropped from the Council and Board of Education races, but the electorate is fortunate on point at least -- some strong new candidates, all with considerable municipal experience, have tossed their hats into the ring. There are also some promising candidates without experience of any kind on a council or board. The responsibility of voting in strong representatives, men and women capable of making a major contribution to the government of the municipality, is a big one. The wrong way to approach it is to treat the election as a popularity campaign by marking an X behind a candidate's name without having the faintest conception as to how he or she would vote on grave issues. Citizens who vote thus, in a careless, slipshod fashion, are equally as lax as citizens who fail to vote at all. Singer Douglas Crossley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Cross- ley of this City, completed a two-week engagement today with the Lethbridge, Alberta, Symphonie Association. Doug played his familiar role of "Curly" in "'Oklahoma". He now moves on to Winnipeg (where his name was a_ household word) to pick up his wife, the former Jean Gray. They will then return east. He has been seen three times in' recent weeks on big-time U.S. television, including Rudy Vallee's "On Broaaway" . Speaking further of show. business, Oshawa's Shirley Harmer has travelled approximately 15,000 air miles, plus 3,000 road miles on personal appearances and one night dates this year, including such places as Colorado Spring, Indianapolis, Winnipeg, New York, Edmonton, Van- couver, Moncton, Summerside, Halifax and Cleveland. Magistrate Wrank Ebbs is still convalescing from his recent illness, but he has been out and around of late and appears to be getting back into his old form. Goodwill Ambassador Role Destined For Ferocious Kirk HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Kirk Douglas stepped behind the sunken bar in his den, stirred up some goodwill the size of a martini, and talked about 'his big run all over the world, "They asked me a lot of ques- tions about it.
