Phone Oshawa 3601 Houri 9 ta 5 or by appointment - Loant mod ta formera and rosidents of n.arby f owni He deals at some length with the selfish way in which the bureaucrats of the National Housing Administration secured their own comfort before devot- ing their energies ta making more hiousing units available ta a homeless public. The admin.ý istration macle 122 apartment un- its availabie in the Hull-Ottawa area by reconversion, and rented the first 19 ta its own personnel. The administration had the authority ta furnish these apart- ments where the situation of a prospective tenant justified such action. This authority was in- ténded t6 fneët theè ýsàible cases of wam veterans lacking immed- iate funds but urgently requir- ing _shelter. The Housing Ad- ministration used the authority in seven cases. Five of, them were its own employees. The Auditor General is also critical of the Hausixig Adminis- tration for furnishing an apart- ment for use of its officers while visiting Montreal. He questions whether some of the articles for which the public treasury pai&1 can be classed as "necessary" ta carry out the adxpînistratian's purpases. Cocktail sets are un- derstood ta be amang the items which the Auditor General hes- itates ta approve. Then there are the oxygen cyl- inders purchased by the Depart- ment of National Defence for $28,100, which had ta be written off as a loss because the mer- chandise was sub-standard and couldn't be used. There is an un- explained over-payment of $38,- 000 ta an electrical manufactur- ing campany, of which only $2, 000 has sinçe -been recovered. And there is the 81/2 miles of nautical cable bought by the De- partment of Public Works, of which only -31/2 miles was us- able, although payment in ful was made for ail. One of the glaring cases which catchés the Auditor General's eagle eye, -it is diffîcuit ta see how it could -have hoped ta es- cape it-is the acceptance of a tender of $76,000 for the build- ing of a ship, when the only oth- er tender was $173,000. The Department of Munitions and Supply made no check ta discov- er the reasons for the discrep- ancy between the two tenders, nor did it investigate the poss- ibility of delivering the vessel for anything like the sum quoted. Shortly after he had started work, the contractor repomted that he had under-estimated the job. He was allowed ta proceed on a cost-plus basis assuring him a profit,-and completed the ves- sel at a total figure of $193,000! These are just sample cases of the irregulamities which the Auditor-General finds in the year's disbursements of the pub- lic funds. They are the reason why Hon. Mm. Abbott, if he should repeat his statement about the government's care in its ex- penditures, would be uniikely ta receive the ovation which he enjoyed last time. HEALTH SAFEGUARDS Urging parents ta protect child- ren against possibility of con- tracting certain seriaus diseases, Ottawa health officiais list the benefits of the "keep weli" service availabie toalal Canadians. They point out that a baby six ta nine months o1Ël should be immunized against diphtheria and, during its first year, a baby shouid be vac- cinated as protection against smalipox. These, it is stressed, are only two of the health safe- guards ail families should adopt. THlE CANAJILAN STATESMANB IBOWMANVILLE, ONTABIO a pin put in her hip, Mrs. Elford decided firmly anid without hes- itatian ta go to Toronto. Dr. Har- aid Siemon performed the oper- ation at Toronto Generai Hospi- tal. Mrs. Elford is said ta have been the oldest patient in the hospital ta underga such an op- eration. This fact created consid- erable interest with the doctors and nurses who marvelled at the courage and determination af this dear aid lady. Mrs. Elford was braught back ta Bowmanvilie Hospital last week in an ambu- lance and her many friends in Bowmanville will be glad to knaw that she is proving an ideal pa- tient and progressing as well as can be expected. Waste of Public Funds As Told by Local M.P. By C. E. Stephenson, M.P. When Honourable Douglas Ab- bott recentiy told the House of Commons that the Canadian Government's record for careful expenditure was second ta fané, he was given the traditional "big hand" that a Cabinet Minister is accorded when he makes a pieasingly resounding statement. Now some of the M.P.'s are won- derîng if they were not a littie toa quick with their applause. They have been reading the Aud- itor General's report, just off the printing press. The Auditor Generai is the of- ficial whose duty it is to see ail, know ail, and ta tell ail in sa far as any irregularities in gavern- ment expenditures are concerned. An employee of Parliament and not of the government, his post is an independent one. He can only be removed by process of impeachment befare the Bar of the House of Commons. He is not concerned wîth the wisdom of expenditures. That is sôme- thing for Parliament ta decide when it votes its estimates. His province is rather ta see that no irregularities crop up in the dis- bursement of the monies ta the purposes for which Parliament has appraved them. In his current volume, cur- iously enough in view of the dlean bill of health which Min- ister Abbott gave the govern- ment, the Auditor General finds no lack of irregularities u po n which ta comment.

( *ARDS LIIMENT Caîl a epresentative meeting, preferably under auspices of the Town Council. .Make it repre- senative of ahl existing organiza- tions and individual citizens. Out- line the entire scheme. Then pro- ceed ta naine a provisional Coin- munity Council, select the officers and an executive. Once fimmly fixed in the public mind that the idea is sound and very necessary, there will be no trouble in comn- pleting the organizatian and get- ting actively ta work. But evety- thing must be co-ordinated and completely co-operative right down the line. Aside from the fact that much of the practical womk ta be done will be donc on a volttntary basis, there are matters of finance to consider. Aside from capital for new buildings, the charge on the community will be mostly for a full or part-time director. The salary range for qualified men may run ta between $2,000 and $3,000 per year, but this means but a fraction of a mîli in the tax rate. But the provincial govern- ment foots the bill for one third of thîs cost. Theme is also the of- fer of the Dominion govemnment ta meet the province and its communities 50-50 in the Nation- al Health Scheme of which this should be a part. Finance will also *accrue from donations from service clubs, etc., which will re- duce overaîl finance ta very lim- ited proportions. Committee Formed Concluding his comprehensive outline Mm. Austerberry suggest- ed: "You will find the entire community willing ta jain in this great undertaking once it is comn- pletely understood. Make a start and public opinion will be right behind it with cash and even free labor. That is the experience elsewhere." More light was shed on the project in the numerous questions asked by the audience. A esolution was carried nom- inating a representative commit- tee charged with armanging an agenda pursuant ta calling a mass organizatian gathering at a date ta be announced ta lay the whole problem before the people for its consideration. The delegation present in behalf of the rink pro- ject was of opinion that joining in this enlarged plan would pro- bably lead ta building a rink sooner than that contemplated as an individual enterprise. It is expected that the Town Council will discuss the matter in its em- ergency meeting Monday even- ing. CLARKE Township Council Clarke Township Council met on August 6th with ail members present. Clerk reported on the building by-law for the township and was instmucted ta prepare a by-law ta be passed at the September meeting. One hospital notice was pre- sented and it was found that the account belonged ta Hope town- ship. Clerk was asked ta secure al information me trailers, summer resorts and camps and find out regulations re licensing of same. Mm. Bentley, County Weed In- spector, addressed council re the new regulatians respecting weeds and was promised co-opematian by council. Owing ta legisiation egarding Assessment Act ta which ail mun- icipalities must assess from Janu- amy ta September in each year, plans were formed for a revision of the 1946 rail this fail and the New Phone Directory Being Distributed ln Bowmanville District Neariy 23,000 copies of the. new telephone directory for Oshawa, Bowmanville, and vicinity, are now being distributed, some 1'. 700 of them being assigned for subscribers in this cammunity. Among the names with the most listings in the Bowmanville sec- tion, the leaders are still Allin, Osborne, Rundle, and Cale, which names are indicative of Devon- shire pioneers who settled here. ,.In the Oshawa section, the Big Four are Smith, Wilson, Brown, and Taylor. According ta T. R. Traynar, Bell Telephone manager in this territory, the new book cont ains mare than 7,300 listings new and changed since the iast issue, in- ciuding a number in the Bow- manville section. "It is important ta consuit the new directory carefuliy bef are placing calis, and ta bring desk lists and memo pads up tai date," Mr. Traynor said. "Avoiding un- necessary calls ta wrong numbers helps us ta serve you better." THE STATESMVAN NOW SOLD AT THESE STORES New Rlnk Pro ject (Continued from Page One) was now paying its way as part of an ail-round municipal recre- atian scheme presently operating under a Community Council and a fuil-time paid director. The tawn of St. Marys, where the town council headed the scheme, he described as one of the best in Canada. Operating only since March, 1946, its programme is compiete in every particàiar, in- cluding a 'teen-town managed by the youth of the district. Volun- tary labor took care of construc- tion of one of the finest swimming pools seen anywhere. Other, centres described in- cluded Newmarket, Oakville, Pic- ton, Dundas, Lindsay, Weston, Georgetown and recently Port Hope. These were typical of very many mare, ail of which, without exception were four- square for the scheme and al firmly established had met with unqualified success. The move- ment, according ta the speaker, was primarily one arising out of the war years during which ju- venule deiinquency had attained alarming proportions. Another factor was the high percentage of rejects in the armed services. National health, bath physical and mental was the objective. Groups Interested Four major groiips came inta the picture in this modemn con- ception: 1. Juveniles, who inher- ently busy with hands and minds, could be kept off the streets and provided with means of meeting ail their needs for heaithful pur- suits. 2. Returned veterans, who Ihaving had experience with plan- Ined activities in the services, wish a continuance on "Civvy Street." 3. Factory workers who, chained ta modemn, monotonaus machines, must have spare time release for hobbies and recreations ta main- tain morale. 4. Older people, who, seeking contacts asidg from home environments, can meet friends in a planned centre for quiet talks, checkers, chess and community music. Can we do ail this? asked the speaker. Well, it is being done today with great success as the above story tells. He went on ta explaix' the organization and ad- ministration of the scheme as it is presently working.

It stated that orders from Ottawa were that the 5 per cent cast of operation bonus granted during wartime would expire with the confirm- ing Order in Council about Feb- ruary 15 next. It went on ta de- mand whether carriers wished ta continue on the new basis. A re- ply was requested asking if: "You wish ta be relieved of your contracturai obligations an dis- continuance of the bonus." It was taken as a virtual ulti- matum. Some of the carriers piaced the matter- before C. E. Stephenson, M.P., for Durham County, who immediately took the matter up with the Postmas- ter General. It caused some stir and the result was that the Post- master General made a statement in the House to the effect that mail drivers were ta ignore the Toronto letter; that the bonus would continue till March-, 1947. He also said he would recominend that the bonus be continued after that date. This information is conveyed to the mail carriers on word dir- ect from Ottawa from Mr. Ste- phenson sa there will be no fur- DALYS ORANGE PEKOE TUNE IN CFRB "Ontario Holidlay" 10.30 p..., Thurs., FrL, Sut.
