Mr. Trueman, speaking at dinner-meeting of the Catetian Club of Ontario County on ; "What Canadians Mean to the United Nations," said Canada should recognize Red China and take steps to install the Communist government in the , UN. He said he was speaking as an individual and that he had "no fixed political ideas." He said Canada can not ignore one-third of the world's | population. He said he be- lieved there is 'just one China" and that the wrong one (National China) is represent- ed at the UN. Mr. Trueman was a resident United Nations correspondent for the Montreal Star between 1959-1962. "I am not an expert on the UN or on international affairs," said Mr. Trueman. "All I know is what I wrote in the papers." He became the UNA's national director in Au- gust, 1966. CHANGE POLICY Mr. Trueman said Canada's "two-China policy or lack of policy" is no longer "viable. We can't get away with it any longer. "We have often been told how much we are loved and respected," said Mr. Trueman, "but this is not exactly true. Some Americans feel we are loud mouths and enjoy the sec- ond highest living standard in the world without paying for; that privilege. They say we take shelter under an American umbrella and manage to live in discord with French-Canadians despite outcries against racial problems in the States." Mr. Trueman says Canadians are "card-carrying members of the cold war establishment. On our worse days, we simultane- ously manage to arouse the Americans, upset the Russians and frustrate neutral -- coun- tries." RECOGNITION He said Canada should ex- tend diplomatic recognition to the government of Communist China, "The very decision to get Red China a seat from a responsible country like Canada A, said Mr. Trueman. "It couldn't help but snowball." One question from the 200- member audience last night was: "What indications are there that Red China will ac- cept the seat if it was offered one?" Mr. Trueman said it (the seat) would be "irresistible to their national pride. They've re- fused it in the past because of the terms of the offer,"' he said. "How can we do this (get Red China a seat on the Security Council when we are so great- ly influenced by the United States?"' asked another Cana- dian Club member. Mr. Trueman said he did not think Canada would experience American economic reprisals for taking steps to include Red would have wide-range effects," China in the Big Five. 'I think CANADIAN CLUB SPEAKER |" PETER TRUEMAN DISCUSSES UNICEF Mrs. D. K. Stiles, Mrs. C. G. Step Of Oshawa Committee they're bigger than that," he said. "I hope so, anyway. But we should try this China thing and see how we stand," he said, The speaker said one reason he took the job as national di- rector of the UNA was _be- cause he believed the United Nations "contributes to world sanity. It is all we have after two world wars," he said of the world peace organization which formed in 1945. "It is not a weakness to believe in the UN," he said. MADE MISTAKES Mr. Trueman said '"'too often spokesmen of the UN speak with blind devotion. You know and I know the United Nations has made mistakes. The UN was hamstrung at the time of the Hungarian Revolution and did almost nothing about the most fearful Viet Nam." But he said agencies of the UN helped to settle millions of people and under the UN, world trade prospered. Mr. Trueman said the world will have a "big food problem in the future.'"' He said world pop- ulation increases each year by 70,000,000 persons. "The UN. is attempting to solve this prob- lem." He called for patience to- ward the "'infant" world body "which really hasn't develop- ed yet' and said the "sophisti- cated" and "delicate" organi- zation "cannot take abuse." He prophesied the UN would not DU sy PN NMEA atm vn 'REVISED HOSPITAL PLANS REVIEWED Oshawa General Hospital board of directors, at the con- clusion of their regular month- ly meeting last night, review- ed revised plans for the new wing of the hospital. After the plans have gained the approval of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission, they will then go to tender. The decision of the commission is expected early next week. In other business, the board acknowledged two contributions from John H. Beaton. Mr. Beaton donated $500 to the hos- pital building fund and $50 to the Christmas appeal fund. An administration report re- vealed that of 36 nurses in training who wrote four exam papers each, only one failure in one paper was recorded. This is one of the best showings by the student nurses to come be- fore the board of directors. wards School For Nurses Oshawa General Hospital board of directors last night began preliminary work to- the enlarging of the school of nursing of the Oshawa General Hospital. The director, at their regular monthly meeting, will develop a plan by which 400 nurses could be in training at one time. At the moment, there are] ; more than 100 student nurses} © at the hospital. A committee was set up under the terms of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission to begin work on finding teach- ing and accommodation space for the proposed - expanded nursing school. Five members from the Osh- awa Hospital Board were ap- pointed, as well as one mem- ber each from the Ajax-Picker-| ' ing Hospital, the Bowmanville Memorial . Hospital, the Port Hope Hospital, the Cobourg Hospital and Whitby Hospital, now under construction. Oshawa members on the committee are S. E. Lovell, H. L. Gay, T. L. Wilson, E. M. Storie and W. A. Holland. The committee will be ac- countable to and draw funds from the Oshawa _ hospital board for the operation. The first meeting of the]: committee is scheduled for] Tuesday. Among the first items that will come under consider- ation are establishing the qual-| ifications of a director for the' school, the appointment of a director, establishment of ad- ministrative and educational policies, the' administration of] © financial affairs, and the ap-| : pointment of technical andj: become a_ world government "for a long, long" time.'

They arrived at the gas sta- tion as night was falling and discovered March and -his wife in the car. March was in the driver's seat and appeared to be asleep but Mrs. March was, according to the officer, lying with her head back and her mouth and eyes open, although at anything. Constable Barkely testified that he at first thought the woman was dead from her POR ture and appearance. The officers found, on the open glove compartment door, two empty vials, one with a clear liquid in it, a needle and blood- stained toilet paper. Constable Barkely said he checked Mr. March's right poc- ket and discovered a hypoder- mic and a brown jar contain- ing a powder. CHASED The officers took the two ac- cused back to the Whitby sta- tion. As they were getting out of the car in the garage, Rob- ert.

Trail of the RCMP, Toronto drug sec- tion, a 10 - year veteran with the force, gave evidence that he came to Whitby the same night and made a search of the March's 1965 leased auto. He discovered part of a nylon stocking, part of a needle, and a silver spoon with a_ white residue. Corporal Trail explained that the portion of a nylon stocking could be used as a tourniquet to inflate the veins making an injection easier. He added that he had check- ed the hands and arms of both of the accused and discovered numerous needle marks on the back of the hands and in the bend of the arms.

She said she had bought the bottle of morphine in Montreal for $50 and had taken about seven "fixes" from it. She testified that she had tak- en a "fix" in the gas station washroom on the occasion of the arrest and had taken a sec- ond "fix" in the car while her husband was asleep. She ex- plained that she had given her- self an overdose and this was the reason for her appearance when the officers came on the scene. When Mrs. March explained to the court that her latest ad- diction had been a pain killing drug called alvadene which could be obtained from doctors, many of whom didn't even know what it was, Judge Alex Hall asked her for the names of the doctors who were engaging in such practices.

He added that, considering that the addict hurts himself pri- marily 'I find it hard to re- concile myself to the fact that it is the function of the court to legislate against oneself." Mr. March's case continues today. FISHING ENDS PORT STANLEY, Ont. (CP) -- Commercial fishing for perch on Lake Erie will end Dec. 15 for a three-month period, the Ontario department of lands and forests announced Tuesday. The decision followed a peti- tion by commercial fishermen in favor of closing the lake for perch fishing during the winter.
