LAST WEEK OF CAMP 730 Reveille For Gals Reveille at 7:30 this morning signalled the beginning of the second and last week of Girls' Camp at Kiwanis Camp, north of Kedron. Next week, the boys move in for two weeks. August is given over to girls' and boys' camps for underprivileged children Camp director T. W. Cotie has 11 female counsellors and two male. swim instructors to help run activities at the camp for 64 girls, ages seven to 14. Swimming is probably the most popular sport and Kiwanis Camp has a large outdoor pool which can be flood-lighted for night swimming Campers are tested by Cana- dian Red Cross Society exam- iners for beginner, junior, in- termediate and senior awards. Other sports offered include softball, volleyball, deck tennis, badminton, archery and hiking. Crafts:- clay. modelling, paint- ing and plaster-of-paris model- ling, among others. MARSHMALLOW ROASTS Nights, the campers can look forward to campfire sing songs, outdoor films and marshmallow roasts, If it rains there are still bingo, charades, films, folk and square dancing and. craft work. Special, days are held. For example, Monday is 'Back- wards Day" and one's clothes are worn back-to-front and meals begin with dessert. Monk meals are a change: not a word is spoken and only one implement (knife, or fork, or spoon) may be used. If the kids are not hiking or swimming in the afternoon, they may be putting on a_ track me ashion shows, masquerades and hard-time do's are an ex- *cuse to "'dress up". The night Indian Pow-Wow is a chance to . "paint up". On the last night in camp an awards dinner is held. Prizes are presented for sports, best camper and many others, both in team and group category. the accident was Paul Herbert} a parked car and was hit by a car. | Driver of the car was Christo- eng F.

J. B. Annand, PUC man- ager, said that the commis- sioners will hold a "brief meeting" with the union officials, Some 15 items, in- cluding increased wages, vacations and statutory hol- idays, are items in dispute. A conciliation officer is scheduled to hear differ- ences between the parties Wednesday. A majority of the 150- member local rejected man- agement counter - proposals made last week. The busi- ness agent for the local, Jack Stone, said Wednes- day that new terms in wage rates offered by the commis- sion were rejected by the membership. ON DIFFERENCES The local membership, in the water works and electri- cal and transportation de- partments, have been work- ing without an agreement since a contract expired in February. Discontent among the local' members at the slow pace of negotiations result- ed. in a wildcat strike June. 29. The four-hour long strike tied-up Oshawa's rush hour traffic and left hundreds of people stranded downtown. Some 40 bus drivers who walked off the job were joined by the water pump- ing station and electri- cal department employees. Emergency crews stood by in case of emergency. Mr. Stone said then that the membership were upset because not all commission- ers attended a conciliation officer meeting. He stated subsequently that the com- missioners made a better showing at a later bargain- ing session.
