'Bill' watches intently as Miss , Florence Augustus, deputy registrar for Ontario County, signs a judgment for Terence V. Kelly. Mr. o Kelly explained the proce- dure of having judgments and writs signed and the necessity of this particular phase of law. OCCI Students Study Careers Nineteen-year-old 'Bill' Corby discovered yesterday a law- yer's life is not quite as excit- ing as the Perry Mason tele- vision series makes it out to be--but it does have its drama- tic moments. He was one of 65 grade 12 and 13 students at Oshawa Central Collegiate Institute who spent a day observing a proposed future vocation. It was the idea of Miss Mar- garet Pellow, head of the school's Guidance department. Teachers were attending an edu- cational conference in Uxbridge. "Bill," a grade 13 student, chose law and was detailed to the city law office of Terence V. Kelly. Nineteen students in- vestigated the possibility of entering the teaching profession and spent the day in elemen- tary schools. Others visited such places as Oshawa General Hospital, Gen- eral Motors of Canada Limited, Duplate of Canada Limited, a photographic studio, banks, a dentist's office, a veterinarian hospital and offices employing secretaries. "Bill" arrived at the Greer and Kelly offices on King street east at 8:30 a.m. ' FEW. IN COURT Their first stop was the new Ontario County courthouse on Rossland road where Mr. Kellyy introduced "Bill" to Judge Alex; C. Hall. Judge Hall told him.very few law graduates go into court. He said law training fits a person for many opportunities in the business world. From the Judge's chambers they went to the office of the local registrar of the Ontario Supreme Court where Mr. Kelly had judgments signed and writs issued. Next stop was the Ontario County registry office to search the title of a deed. There "Bill" met Jack Roblin, registrar of deeds. The next item on the agenda was a stop-over at Ajax magis- trate's court where he was in- troduced to Magistrate Harry Jermyn and Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck. Magistrate Jermyn told him: "It is wonderful when boys in grade 13 take a serious look at what they want to be in life." "Bill" admitted later that while seated beside Mr. Affleck while court was in session he was slightly jarred when five Nova Scotia youths about his own age were brought before the magistrate. They were un- shaven, unkempt and had not eaten for three days. He said he was impressed by the humanitarianism of Magis- a2 p.m. appointment in the office of R. L. Baldwin on Rich- mond. street overlooking the new city hall. Here "Bill" sat in with Mr. Kelly at a pre-trail examination for discovery in a civil action. Mr. Kelly was act- ing for the plaintiff in the case and W. David Griffiths, QC, who is also a part-time lecturer at Osgoode Hall, was acting for the defence. Following the examination, Mr. Griffiths had a discussion with Bill about the many facets of civil litigation. Back to Oshawa at 4:30 p.m. for an Oshawa Civic Auditorium committee meeting at city hall. "Bill" was on hand to witness the kickoff of the committee's swimming pool campaign and also had a lengthy chat with Ald. Christine Thomas about city council affairs. AT POLICE STATION After the - meeting, . "Bill" visitet, the Oshawa police sta- tion. There, Det. Sgt. Kenneth Young explained the intricacies of taking statements from ac- cused persons and their im- portance is criminal cases. Then "'Bill" accompanied Mr. Kelly back to Toronto where the lawyer addressed a meeting of accountants from the Bank of Nova Scotia. It was a big day for the young aspirant lawyer. "I was getting a little dis- couraged with Grade 13," 'Bill' said on the way home. "But this day has given me the boost I needed to settle down and work hard."

He told 'Bil!' he might some- day be sitting in the magis- trate's chair. Judge Alex C. Hall met with "Bill'" in his chambers. He produced a copy of the Ontario. Weekly Notes of up- to-date cases and told the gouth a lawyer's education must continue after his call to the bar. The Judge said 90% of those who graduate in law never go to court, In Toronto, '"'Bill'" watches a court reporter take a - transcript of evidence at a pre-trial examination for discovery in a civil action.

ROTARY A NECESSITY 'Speaking of the ideals and philosophy of Rotary Interna- tional, the RI President said it 600 Rotarians Hear Charles W. Pettengill West Germany and 650 in Japan had regained their charters. "Rotary sows the seed that makes for a better world. It has the potential to be a great force in today's world. When one considers that the average at- tendance for Rotary around the world last year was better than 78 per cent, you can see that no other organization has a comparable force for world un- derstanding "The world needs the love and understanding Rotary can sup- ply. Let us be men of 'vision so all mankind will live in peace and harmony, and so no force can separate us. Is this dream utopian? Perhaps. But let us live and dream Rotary and do all we can to hasten the day when all mankind will live in peace and harmony," Rotarian Pettengill said. comprises 560,000 men in 11,900 communities in 27 countries around the world who represent many classifications and make no distinction as to race, faith or color. "Rotary is not a lux- ury. It is a necessity which meets man's need for fellow- ship and provides him with a purpose," he said.

McCulloch address- ed the annual meeting of the Oshawa-Ontario County branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association on the subject of "Mental Health and Mar- riage." This talk followed the theme of marriage counselling given as a series of lectures every Thursday evening under the auspices of the local branch of Dr. McCulloch stated that marriage is a uniquely. human institution that has persisted in all civilizations. In the time of the Romans, divorce was easy to obtain and somehow became a point of 'honor to avoid it~so that div- orce rarely occurred among the Romans, In modern society it was felt necessary to tie the knot more securely by making the termination of marriage more difficult, but, in spite of this, divorce is on the increase. It is perhaps unrealistic to expect the flame of passionate romantic love to burn as brightly after marriage as dur- ing courtship. Usually desire is lessened and one or other part- ner may turn to. someone else in an attempt to rekindle the flame. These affairs require clandestine meetings, adventur- ous planning, the participants devote their entire attention to these few hours since they may be their last and in this way, their illicit relationship is kept on a 'courtship basis', he said. The actual marriage may soon be aggravated by the dulling routine of daily activities, the wife has endless household chores, the husband may be trying to advance his career and concentrates more and more on his work. This may gradually bring on the "Tenth- Year Crisis in Marriage." As communications between hus- band and wife become non- existant they begin to blame one another. They sense that some- thing is wrong between them. As the lack of communication is accentuated they are silent and even sullen when they are in public. Soon they contrive to go out in groups to surmount their boredom, he said. 39 Quakes Recorded TOKYO, (Reuters)--About 35 earthquakes ranging from one to four in intensity on a scale of seven were recorded in the Oshima.

This has resulted, says H. G. Chesebrough, city welfare ad- ministrator, in an increase in the total cost of welfare assistance. The welfare situation is "'gen- erally good" says Mr. Chese- brough, but the peak period of unemployment in the construc- tion field at present is leaving these people jobless. Mr. Chesebrough said the housing problem is "'terrible" making it difficult to . find shelter for the "'stranded" per- sons. Total cost of welfare last month was $33,065.10 compared with $27,780.61 in January, 1964. Government grants cover a por- tion of the welfare expense. Last month 884 persons re- ceived welfare assistance, 411 of whom were emplo¥able and 473 unemployable. In 'January, 1964, 790 persons recéived as- sistance, 380 being etnployable and 410 unemployable. The cost of shelter last month rose more than $3,000 compared with the same month in 1964. Mr. Chesebrough said the shel- ter allowance was raised last April. He also said the Child- ren's Aid Society rates have increased 20 cents per day per Oshima Island, child,
