She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Oshawa"s Boys' Club Example To All Canada One of the speakers at the testi- monial dinner tendered to Stewart R. Alger last week was Ed. Mitchell, widely-known of 'the Boys' Clubs of Canada, and prob- ably the most experienced and knowledgeable man in Canada in this field of social endeavor. Mr. Mitchell has on many occasions come to Oshawa to support commu- nity efforts in the field of boys' work, as a service club speaker, and executive as a supporter of Community Chest eampaigns, Because of his knowledge of what fs being done in Boys' Club work in Canada, in the 47 where such clubs are now in opera- tion, his comments on the high standard of the work being done in Oshawa are worth noting. In his view, Oshawa, since the establish- ment of the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club on Eulalie Avenue, has taken a place of leadership in this field in Canada. It is gratifying to hear communities from him that the Oshawa Boys' Club venture is regarded as a high example to other communities in the Dominion of what.can be ac- complished by a community-minded citizenship, One of the significant facts re- ported at the dinner was that in its last winter season, some 1200 Osh- awa children learned to swim in the boys' club swimming pool. This is a tremendous contribution to public safety, to the saving of in drowning accidents, Yet it is only lives one of the many facets of the boys' club program, a program which is directed towards producing a high- er type of citizenship for the future. Judging from what was said by all dinner, Oshawa has good reason to be proud speakers at the Alger of its boys' club facilities, staff and program. fitting that tribute should be paid to the man Because of this, it. was a sincere community who gave the initial inspiration to the project. Giving Honor Where Due An unusual situat s emerged from the House of Commons that a proposals ade in the perman- ent Speaker be appointed, and that he be provided with a seat in the house without having to contest it in a genera! election, On this pro- posal, there seems to be unanimity in the Commons. Both the major political parties agreed that it would be desirable. The interesting and unusual fea- ture of the debate, however, centred on the selection of the man likely to be named as Canada's first perman- ent Speaker of the House of Com- mons, Mr. Diefenbaker, speaking for the Conservative opposition, posed that Alan McNaughton, a Liberal and the present speaker, should have that honor, and paid him a glowing tribute for his firm- ness, impartiality and capabilities as the presiding officer of the House. From the government side, pro- how- ever, came a definite proposal that Abe Oshatwa Times CE, General Manager McCONECHY Editor sher mes combining The Oshawa Times the Whitby Gozette and $ Published daily olidays excepted y Newspaper Publish- Press, Audit Bureau ntario Provincial Dailies Press is exclusively nm of all news t or to The also the tocol ghts of special des- ian D Canadiar the O ers Association of Circulation Association.

House rules, however, ended the discussion before Mr. Diefen- baker could reply. It is interesting to find the two major parties in the House of Com- mons extolling the virtues of a pro- minent member of the opposite par- ty. Usually, they are more intent on trying to prove that all the vir- tue and talent in the House is to be found only within the ranks of their own parties. Therefore this inter- ésting situation is to be welcomed as an indication that even in parti- san politics there is at times a ten- dency to bestow due, honor where it is Other Editors' Views FORBIDDING PUBS (Kitchener Waterloo-Record) Unfortunately the Ontario laws have made beverage rooms rather forbidding places in which to con- gregate, There minute been to have recent concessions common sense in the of musical entertainment.

What work is delegated te the Tension High In Mid-East JERUSALEM (Reuters)-- Tension ran high in this divided city today after a shooting in- cident Monday in which two persons were killed and four wounded by shots fired from the Jordanian sector. It was the first serious inci- dent in Jerusalem since Febru- ary and followed Israeli "ree prisal'"' raids across the Jordan River Thursday. Similar inci- dents have occurred in recent weeks on Israel's border with Syria. (in Cairo, President Nasser told a meeting of Palestine Arabs- Monday night the time had not yet come to fight Is- rael : ('We must choose the time, the date and the place' he said.) The shots killed a 14-year-old Jewish girl and. a 30-year-old Christian Arab carpenter. The wounded included two French lay sisters of the Pauline or- der Jordanian authorities com- plained to the United Nations that Israelis opened fire with light machine-guns. This was denied by the Israeli Army spokesman who said the com- plaint was lodged about 40 min- utes before the Jordanians opened fire and was to pretext un merely serve for the provoked attack."

From Orillia Given High Honor By Patrick Nicholson OTTAWA--Now that the great flag debate is past, and only the outcome of it lingers on amid controversy, I can express my surprise that the critics of the Liberal governments flag proposals. failed to quote the most famed French - Canadian statesman of all time, Sir Wil- frid Laurier. That voice of Que- bec asserted categorically in our House of Commons: half a century ago: "It is the pride of every Canadian who comes to Ottawa to see the British flag floating on the stately tower of Parliament." The modest Conservative MP from Orillia, Doctor P. B, Ryn- ard: has just been honored by the conferment of a great dis- tinction in another country. The details, I found, were harder to extract from that modest man than a clam from, its shell.

Following on the heels of the declaration of Canadian Women which attracted 100,000 signa- tures protesting against porno- graphy, vice, crime and perver- sion in CBC programs, other protests have been lodged by the commissioner of the RCMP --Wwhich was widely publicized --and by the ambassador of the United States, which was under- standably hushed up The state department in Wash- ington was reported exceedingly angry about the treatment ac- corded to its senior and compe- tent official McGeorge Bundy by the CBC QUERIES ACTION 1 met Miss Josephine Hrick in Dawson City some years ago: when she was on the staff of St. Mary's Hospital in the ghost town of the sourdoughs.
