The Speakrer Mr. O'Hara is a son of Alicia, younger daugliter of the Senator, who marriedi a former Bowxnan- ville boy, W. J. O'Hara. For rnany years they made their honte in England where their son was rais- ed and educated and where the mother StUR resides as gay and sprightly as when shte was a schoolgirl in Bowmanville. The son, Burk O'Hara, a regular army reserve offIcer was posted for du- Lty with the 4th Bn. Royal Tank Corps when war broke out, was takeri prisoner in May, 1940, dur- ing the last stand in France and won his freedom from a Germant prison camp in Aprîl, 1945, when released by a spearhead of the American army. Return Home Mentioned in Dispatches for gallant conduct in the field, he re- joined'the army for a space and then joined U.N.R.R.A. for exe- cutive duties in Germany. He resigned fromt that position in December, 1946, to rejoin his fam- ily in England. With Mrs. O'Hara they sailed on the Queen Elizabeth for New York in January, 1947, and came on to Bowmanville. Mrs. O'Hara was the former Miss Lii- lian Cooper of London, England. They lost their only son, Charles Bowman, during the war. Prison Camps Mr. O'Hara took as his subject, "Tou 'St Hotel" in which he des- cribed many of the highlights in the experience of himself and allied officer prisoners housed for five years in medieval casties us- ed by the Germans to confine their frequently recalcitrant charges. Mr. O'Hara spoke for an hour and a haif in a vein of humor rather than to emphasize the tyranny and horror so often associateci with the conduct of German guards. He touched only briefly on some of the shootings and beat- ings that occurred. Red Cross He described the march back af- ter capture and the tarvation ra- tions that made prisoners too weak to attempt to'escape until housed in permanent quarters. There were tough times until Red Cross par- cels came through and after strength was restored there was a continuing càmpaign to escape in the years that followed. He stated emphatically that without Red Cross parcels many would have died and-the rest rendered walk- ing skeletons. Escape Storles The escape stories formed a dra- matic tale. Time after time in- trepid prisoners labored night af- ter night to tunnel their way out. Day after day they would fashion aids that would be useful -to off - set detection' once outside the walls. Using Canadian cigarettes as currency it was often possible ta win by bribery the maps, in- telligence, clothing, food and sa forth that helped in the getaway. Canadian prisoners were praised for sharing with associates their unusual quantities of smokes. Punlshment But most of the prisoners who got outside were recaptured and returned to undergo the 28 days' solitary, which, said the speaker, fell to his lot on occasion. He told af the regulations under which the Geneva convention off- ered some measure af relief that' even Germans accorded in most cases. He told of many who ac- tually got back to England to re- join the fighting forces. They rnanaged to get the breaks to cross alhied frontiers. One prisoner he described as having made a dozen Ettempts before being shot down. F'or his courage he won a past- aumous D.S.O. Food Story As, war deepened the camp food ratioxis feilto very low quality.. 'hé ingehuity of the different na-; tionals then became apparent in the' preparation of meals, eked >ut with. Red Cross food. The French proved past masters in cul- na.ry improvisations, often stew- ing up stray *camp cats to mnake aritzy mneal. Qiten dissension >roke out wlth someL nationals favored over:others. The Poles w'ould go short on rations to Save acing ta the castle. Then came e payoff when two GI Joes ame through the gate to. be mob- ýd and even- kissed by bewhisk- 'ed French. It was ail over but he home coming. Book..Tella Story* This report is greatly -abridiged )r the suggestion of the speaker :his audience was ta secure 'a opy of the very dramatic book )etour"' written by Jerry Wood, iwhich is told the reai stary of iese German prison camps. At e conclusion of bis remarkable dress Mr. O'Hara answered lany questions asked by those resent. He received an ovation ,en thanked by the president.

Some ai these books are valuable but unsuited ta present day me- thotis o! teaching.' Fred Hiscock, Oshawa, wiii be ativised ta campiete his contract and fill in drain fromn toilet in- stallation at Blackstock school. The teachers were then given an appartunity ta present their viewpoint in pratest against a de- cision o! Board at Match meeting ta tietuct pay for days misseti (ex- cept 3) on account ai snaw. Mrs. Venning stated that horses coulti fot get thraugh roatis anti no pupils woulti go andi she phon- ed parents every morning anti they said their chiltiren were nat going. Miss Langielti said teachers should have been warned as she would have gane hati she known that she wauiti nat get pay if she stayeti at home. Mrs. Dorreli thought when care- taker and pupils did nat go, tea- chers shoulti nat be expectedt t go. Mrs. Johns saiti neither she nor pupils couiti get thraugh blocked roatis. Miss Gray saiti teachers shaudid have been tiealt wltli individual-j iy. Letters were read fram Mr. and viewed the activities ai the Car- responding Secretary. Mrs. A. S.

Mrs. Hamilton saiti Mrs. Ven- ning was a splendid teacher anti she was very anxious that she shoulti stay on at the schaal. Charles Venning spoke in sup- port af Miss Gray stating teachers' salaries were too iow ta begin with without making any deduc- tions. He hearti Miss Gray was going ta resign. He would be very sarry if she titi as she was the best teacher in Cartwright. Trustee Larmer thought some o! days misseti by some teachers shauldn't bave been missed.. Trustee Strong sait probably teachers shoulti have been warn- et but Miss Hockin kept Purple Hill school open 21 days in March (full time) while some teachers anly went 10 or il days anti there was as much snaw at Purpie Hill as any other place in township; no roati for horses ta school for six weeks, eyerybody walked. Trustee Jackson saiti Board was prabably hasty, but there shoulti be some better unterstanding be- tween boarti anti teachers, as their teacher tiidn't phone anti pupils didn't know whether there was goi.ng ta be school or not. Inspector McEwen ativiseti some compromise between board and teachers. The chairman thanketi the tea- chers for caming anti presenting their viewpaînt in a very friendly manner.
