Mayor L. C. Mason- conducted a speeded-up meeting Tuesday. evening in or- der that members of the Couneil Might attend Bowmanville«, first wrestling show in the Memorial Arena. Reeve Norman Allison and Councillor Ab Darch were the only two absent. In conAction with the paving jof the three streets originally ad- vertised there were four petitions before council. The Ontario St. petition was sufficiently signed to throw out that street. The pet- ition from Liberty Street was nat sîgned by enough of the rate- payers objecting to paving so Council is going ahead with the paving on that thoroughfare. Change Minds Something unique took place with the two petitions from Elgin Street. The first petition received by the Town clerk registered 39 ratepayers as opposed ta the pro- ject. A later petition signed by 25 out of the 39 original ones op- posed plus additional ratepayers, asked that the tawn go ahead with the paving of Elgin Street, only instead of stapping at Thîrd St. continue the paving on to Fourth St. Council decided to go ahead with both these streets under the Local Improvement Act. Before Council voted unani- mously for the paving by-law to be prepared Mr. Grant, an en- gineer from the Storms Construc- tion Co., answered nukierous ques- tions on the propased paving. He stated that his campany would be in this area likely until the middle of October working on the Provincial Highway and that they could go ahead with the project anytime during the in- terim. plained that the residents in thfi area, aIl with several childrer in each family. had only one watei well f0 supply their nceds. ThE water from this wvell had beer 1tested by the Dcpartment ol LHealth and had been found fa bE in class "D" or unfit for drinking purposes unless boiled and even this well was on the point a. 1drying Up. Council decided to rcfcr the 1matter of the water main to the itawn solicitor t0 sec if there wasn't 'some way to have it put down in this case of necessity. Arena Flooring Delegation from the Rink Com- mittee under Chairman John M. James asked the cou neil for per-. mission to go ahcad and enter negotations for an asphait floor for the arena. It is exrected that Storms Construction Co. will lay the floor at an approximate cost of $2,500.00. It is nccessary that proper drainage of the arena be fixed first. then a two-inch as- phaît base will be laid with a one- inch smooth surface on top that will be suitable for dancing and roller skating. This surfacing will root interfere with any artificial ice as long as their is good drainage. Cotincil voted that the Arena Committee should be instructed to go ahead with this project. General BUils Bills for gencral expenses total- Jing $4265.28, Public School con- struction~ bill of $5,636.35 and Local Improvement bill for side- walks of $3,074.24 were ordered paid.

Mr. Hop- kins who ;s secretary of the Osha- wa Rotary Club used as a basis of his talk the Rotary Internation- al convention in New York City in June when he was able to visit Lake Success and see how the United Nations operate in session. The recently formed United Nations Committe under the chairmaniship of Lorne Doreen was in charge of the club meet- ing. In introducing the guest speaker he stated that he was born in England but came to this country as a child where he re- ceived his education in three pro-i vinces. Mr. Hopkins is now a prac-j ticing Chartered Accountant in1 Oshawa. In that city besides be- ing a meniber of the Rotary Club he is secretary of the Community Chest Fund and Treasurer of the Oshawa Boy Scouts' Association.i He is-also president of the Gen- eral Accountants Association. L Mr. Hopkins started his inter-1 esting address by telling of somet of the highlights of the New Yorki Rotary convention. He explained that on the last day of the con- vention he was looking for a table in a restaurant when he mett Rotarians Frank Philips, Cornel University, and Harold Young of e Canterbury, England. Both ofi theqe Rotarians were going to at-t tend the International Group discussion and asked the speaker to go along.0 -Here, a great deal of informa- tion was gleaned as to what Ro-f tary Clubs ail over the world didd to further international under- standing. Mr. Hopkins mentionedt that a few of the methods usedb by the various clubs were to have9 international speakers, entertain recently arrived D.P.'s and immi- grants and to develop correspond- ence with foreign clubs. Through this discussion period Mr. Hopkins was able to arrange to go 'on a visit to Lake Success.

The present building is divided inta a large number of raoms wvhich are used for discussion rooms, typ,*sts and the like. Dur- ing his visit Mr. Hopkns attended a meetng on Human Rights with Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt as the Chair- man. This meeting was held in one of the small rooms. The dele- gates fromn the various countries were gathered around a horse- shoc table with their aides and staff sitting behind them. At one side three more rows of chairs were placed for the use of visitors. In the back of the roomn were several booths used by the interpretors who simultan- eousiy translated the speeches which werc relayed in the accept- ed languages to the earphones on each chair mncluding those of ýthe visitors. The Bill of Human Rights was under discussion at this particu- lar session. Mr. Hopkins stated that the delegate talked over one particular paragraph for an hour and a haîf and one word and it's interpretation for over 20 min- ites. He stated that listening to the speeches for this length af time was not boring as the audi- ence cauld see the different mean- ings brought into each word by the variaus delegates. It is neces- zary that a great deal af thought be put into these arguments in orçier that when they are finally approved by the U.N. their in- fluence wijl be for the mast gooçl down through the years. Mr. Hopkins said that aiter the session they were fortunate to, be able ta have dinner in the dehe- gates lounige.
