COON Obscene Books Curb Outlined Threee to four th d dif- and the at- ferent obscene books and maga- zines have been stopped from sale in Ontario stores, David A. Coon, chairman of the Attorney- general's committee on obscene literature told St. Gregory's Council 2671, Oshawa Knights of Columbus, this week. Not all books are reviewed by the committee, Mr. Coon said. Only books. which someone com- plains about are read and judged, he added. He said personal prejudices must not be injected into law principles and community stand- ards had to be contemporary. Pervertion of normal sex. is fituge -- 8 this might be fun, why not give it a try" is strongly objected to; Mr. Soa said. The standard definiation for obscenity is section 150 subsec- tion eight of the Criminal Code which states: "For the purpose of this section any publication the dominant characteristic of which is the undue exploitation of sex and any other of the following: crime, _ horror, cruelty and violence, shall be deemed to be obscene."

This is one of the most out- standing forward steps this city has taken in many years. Our community centre will open, by and. for the public, and entirely for pub- lic purposes. This project has been com- pleted through the untiring efforts of a general commit- tee -- 12 to 15 men -- who have spent many, many hours on this mammoth drive which will see a beau- tiful Auditorium opened to the public tomorrow night. The people of Oshawa are to be commended for the outstanding financial sup- port they. have given this great project. It is to be hoped they will ive it the same care and respect they would be ex- pected to give their own homes. I would like to commend those committed to payroll policies, as well as those who have given cash gifts to make this worthwhile enter- prise a reality. I have no doubt that the boys and girls who use this Auditorium in the years to come will look back on the building of this edifice with great pride, I hope they use it and enjoy it for a long time to come. LYMAN A. GIFFORD, Mayor of Oshawa. 30,000 EXPECTED Auditorium Opens On Friday Night A six-year task undertaken by a public committe will end Friday night when the keys to the new $1,200,000 Oshawa Civic Auditorium are handed over to Mayor Lyman Gifford. An estimated 30,000 people are expected to visit the building during open-house this week- end. The auditorium's 3,500 seats, and standing-room capacity of 3,000, are expected to be filled for the official opening cere- monies. E. R. S. (Dick) McLaughlin, who has been chairman of the committee since its formation in 1958, will deliver the opening address. A dedication ceremony will be performed by Rev. N. F. Swack- hammer and Rabbi Menachem Kutziner and all the members of the auditorium committee will be introduced. Joseph Olesky, a General Motors worker who performed the official sod-turning last March, will also be given an an opportunity to speak. FUTURE PLANS Oshawa has been without an arena for adults as well as children since the old arena burned down in 1953. Although the committee was formed in 1958 at the instigation of Mayor Lyman. Gifford, the campaign was delayed by a hospital drive and the quest for funds to build the auditorium did not begin in earnest until 1962, It was at that time when Terence V: Kelly and - William (Bill) Kurelo. joined the com- mittee. MODERN BUILDING Construction of the building was supervised by the building committee -- Alderman Walter Branch, Alderman Hayward Murdoch, Harry Gay and Ray Trew. Mr. Kelly said the building is modern in every respect and includes meeting rooms and dressing rooms equipped with blackboards for coaching pur- poses; a skating lounge and an all-purpose room at south end over the lobby "which is de- signed hopefully to have a swimming pool adjoining it." He said the ice surface is the same size as Maple Leaf Gar- dens in Toronto. First to skate on it will be members of Osh- awa's Pee Wee hockey teams during open house Saturday. The first Ontario Hockey Association Junior A game will be played in the Auditorium, Toesday night when Oshawa Generals tangle with St. Catha- rines Black Hawks. Mr. Kelly said the Civic Auditorium site is eight times bigger than Kinsmen Civic Stadium and is ideal for future development. Mr. McLaughlin said realiza- tion of the auditorium was 'a team effort among the member committee." The com- mittee collectively donated $14,000 to the building fund. An eye-catcher will be. the auditorium campaign insignia-- a trowell--painted at centre ice. 'Let's build it ourselves for ourselves" was the campaign slogan. The people of - Oshawa came through. Mr. Kelly said this is only the first phase of development "to make Oshawa a' cultural and recreational complex unequalled in Canada." Accused Gets Benefit Doubt An- Oshawa man who had a traffic offence dismissed in Magistrate's Court yesterday over a technicality, was assured by Sgt. Norman Smyth of City Police it was not Christmas spirit that got him off. Charles Edward McGahey, 206 Grenfell street, was charged with making an improper left- turn. Terence V. Kelly, defending, argued the case should be dis- missed because the intersection named in the charge was not the one where the alleged of- fence occurred. Sgt. Smyth, who acted as prosecutor, agreed and the charge was dropped. Mr. Kelly said: "The spirit of| the season must be prevailing when Sgt. Smyth has not ob- jected to the case being dis- missed." Sgt. Smyth said Mr. Kelly was wrong. He said: "You just got me this time." The Storie Park bantam soft- ball team, 1964 champions of the Oshawa Minor Softball Asso- ciation's Kiwanis Bantam League, were guests at this week's meeting of The Oshawa Kiwanis Club. The meeting was arranged by members who are officers of the Oshawa Minor Softball Association. Kiwanian Joseph Victor, pres; ident of the Oshawa Minor Soft- ball Association, presented The Kiwanis Club trophy to the 1964 champions with team man- lager George DeMille receiving the silverware. Association treasurer Norman Attersley offi- ciated in the presentation of the championship crests,. with James DeMille, team coach, accepting these. i | Bach of "the champions' was | introduced. In addition to the manager and coach, those on Kiwanis Club Fetes Champs hand included: John Néestic, James Parson, John McKelvey, Eugene Laszkiewicz. Wayne Sargant, George Muzik, Paul Williams, Lele Marmosa, Ron Parfitt, Murray Neuman and Jerry Ogden. Team captain Barry McKenzie, unfortunately, was unable to be present. Kiwanian Fred Kitchen, vice- president of the Oshawa Minor |Softball Association, introduced Kiwanian George Campbell, sec- retary of the organization,' who acted as chairman. The speaker reviewed the champions named on The Kiwa- nis Trophy, pointing out that the Kiwanis Bantam League division of fhe association, had been sponsored, since its incep- tion, by the Boys' and Girls' Committee of. The Oshawa Kiwanis Club. The values of sportsmanship and. citizenship were empha- sized by the speaker, Forty - four underprivileged children from the Oshawa area will be blazing with joy at a red hot Christmas party the city's Fire Fighters are plan- ning, for December 19. The children, aged eight to 10 years, will be entertained with dinner in the main Fire Hall; then amazed by a magician and delighted by a puppet show. Carols will follow and Mayor Lyman Gifford, together with Fire Fighters Plan Kiddies Yule Party Aldermen Gordon Attersley, Cephas Gay and John Brady, will lead the singing. The Fire Fighters Association is organizing the party and pay- ing the $500 bill that will result. William Wilson, chairman of the Christmas party committee, said today the highlight will come when following the carols a siren will sound and a firecar will rush into the hal with Santa Claus in the driver's seat.

This is the third .nnual party |ling." the Association has held and MC Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the applica- tion of Joseph and Max Tenne- baum of Toronto for of land on both sides of Gibb street extended, west of Gren- fell street. Present zoning is R2B and the Messrs. Tennebaum want R4 zoning north of Gibb and R3 south of Gibb for seven and five storey apartment develop- ments, respectively. The firm, represented by city lawyer Gilbert Murdoch, has asked for the «unopened Fronte- imac road allowance (66 feet wide) in exchange for giving we the 80 foot right-of-way for Gibb Street. Mr. Murdoch said the de- velopers would not have suffi- cient land area to complete the projected development of 161 suites in three buildings if the city put Gibb street through. The Board will also ask for reports from the city Parks Commissioner and the. Public Works committee. Frontenac street extended is on the south boundary of Radio Park. Public hearings will also be held on: --S. W. Cummings' applica- tion for 'rezoning of 100 feet frontage on the south side of rectors road, east of Park row.

The Board will recoms mend the owner deed a 33-foot width for the future extension shop ground floor of a Marland ave nue apartment building. 1-Way Traffic Scheduled Soon Alderman John Brady said to- day that an area of King street east -- between Wilson road and a point 195 yards east of Riverside drive -- will be for eastbound one-way traffic (to avoid collisions and confusion") as soon as City Council passes a bylaw to that effect and warning signs are posted. This will be done at the next City Council meeting next week, he said. A heading over a news story in Wednesday's edition erron- eously stated "King east Sector 20-l1-way Now" -- this should have read 'King east Sector To Be' One-Way". Petition A petition against the rise in auto insurance rates may be taken by a local clergyman and the Oshawa and District Labof Council.

Cummings M. R. Cummings, a 37-year- employee of Houdaille Indus- tries, was honored last night at a testimonial dinner. He plans to retire at the end of this year. He started work as a drafts- man in 1927 with The Skinner Company in Gananoque. When the company moved to Osh- awa in 1930 and joined Houdaille, he became the pur- chasing agent. He remained in this position until 1955 when he was promoted to vice-president of sales, a position he still holds.

Patrick McCloskey, Local 222 United Auto Workers dele- gate said: "Maybe we should have a Royal Commission sit- ting on this. They, the Provin- cial government, will file any petition in the wastebasket, as they do with most of our stuff." "The insurance companies are clearly unable to cope with an auto insurance program," Mr. Ross stated. "We ought to have a scheme with premiums the average man can afford, and with sensible benefits. "If the government can run such a program successfully in Saskatchewan, then they can do it in Ontario," he stated. The ODLC approved a motion made by Mr. Ross that the Ontario Federation of Labor, and the Provincial Government, be in- formed of the need for change in the matter. Mr. Ross said today that the circulation of a petition was under consideration by the ODIC. "This is a serious prob- lem which must be dealt with," he said, "the government must be made aware ot it."
