hE] ® + ool in Oshawa to take a commercial Biography of Hon. Michael Starr, Federal Minister of Labour Hon. Michael Starr was appointed Minister of Labour for Canada June 21, 1957, the first Canadian of Ukrain- ian extraction to become a Minister of the Crown. Mr, 'Starr was born on November 14 1910, at Copper Cliffe, Ont., the son of Ukrainain immigrants -- the late Matthew Starr, at that time a mining smelter worker, and his wife, the late Mary Matechuk, When he was one year old, his family moved to Montreal where his father took employment with a meat packing firm. Ten years later the family moved to Oshawa, and here the new Minister of Labour grew up, was educated and has lived ever since, The oldest of six children, young Michael Starr, although a promising student, was forced to leave school when he was fiftéen years old to add to the family income. His first job was a printer's appren- tice, known in the trade as a "print- er's devil", with the Oshawa Times- Gazette. He worked a 54-hour weck for $56.00. His next job, making picture frames paid him 16¢ an hour, and he worked 13% hours every second day. He be- came convinced that he would do bett- er in "office work", but if he were to succeed, he would need more educat- ion. The result was he quit his job, and at the age of 17 went back to sch- course. He couldn't spare any more than one year not earning a regular salary, so he undertook a forced-draft course involving 13 subjects. Not only did he pass his course, but set up a record still remembered at the school. He averaged 899 in his 13 subjects, and came second in the whole school, although he had been away from books for three years. On June 6, 1928, Mr, Starr joined the Pedlar People Limited, manufact- urers of sheet metal equipment, the firm he was to remain with 24 years until his election to the Canadian Parliament, He rose to manager of a section of sales force covering Canada. The new minister of Labour comes 'to his post well-versed in the problems of management, but he also fully un- derstands the problems of the ordinary working man, He knows what it is to get married and try to raise a family on $68.00 a month, his take-home pay during five years of the world-wide depression in the '30's, Often during this period, when he tended to get dis- couraged, he 'contemplated trying "greener pastures", but his 'wife, Anne Zaritsky, whom he married on Sep- tember 9, 1933, persuaded him that his future would best be served if he remained where he was. A naturally optimistic and 'enthusiastic person, Mr. Starr still givés full credit to his wife for his being able to keep work- ing towards an objective in spite of set-backs and discouragement. In 1940 his friends persuaded him to run as alderman in Oshawa. He was defeated. The next year he ran again, and was defeated. The next year he decided not to run, but the year foll- Holiday Notice till 5 p.m. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that there will not be a publication of the PORT PERRY STAR 'during the week of the Civic Holiday, AUGUST bth, on.

In 1944 the Starrs decided he should he should try it once more, and this time he made the grade. Once elected, however, his ability was recognized by his colleag- ues, and he became vice-chairman of the Board of Works of the City of Osh- awa. Re-elected in 1945, he was made Chairman of the Board of Works, and held this position for four consecutive years. During this period he built up the Board of Works into a modern and efficjent departpent and installed a modern lighting system throughout the City. In 1849 he ran for mayor of the city, and Oshawa, recognizing dan able ad- ministrator, elected him, He filled the mayor's chair for the next four years, twice getting in by 'acclamation. Dur- ing his tenure of office a new city hall was built, a new fire station, a new police station, and a modern sewage disposal plant was installed. He was instrumental in increasing the pay and salaries of all civic em- ployees bringing them in line with the standards of industry. In 1951, he ran for a seat in the pro- | vincial Government, but was defeated, ! Two weeks after his defeat he was again re-elected mayor. In 1952, he ran in a by-election in the Ontario Rid- ing for the Federal seat when Walter Thompson, the sitting member, re- signed to lead the Ontario Liberals in the Provincial election. He won the election and in June election of 1953 he was again returned to the House of Commons, Since coming to Ottawa, he has been a member of the Standing Committee of the House of Commons on Indust- rial Relations, and took part in the special sessions of this Committee which in 1955 reviewed and amended the Unemployment Insurance Act. Mr. Starr has two children, Rob- ert 22, now in his third year Dentistry at the University of Toronto, and Joan 17, who has just recently started to work in the Ledger Depattment of General Motors in Oshawa. Mr. Starr is a member of the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce of Oshawa, and attends the Ukranian Orthodox Church.

Helping out with the tuition apart from line coach Bill Smyth, are two other- American coaches, George Terry from Louisiana State and Milton Piepul of Brown University. Five or-six new players, including three imports, are expected to report later. They have been delayed for a variety of reasons.

As a re- sult I forsee an increased demand for dairy products; and as the Holstein breeders make a large contribution I see a bright future for breeders and owners." In these words Hon. C. Sherwood, New Brunswick Minister of Agricul- ture and president of the Holstein- Friesian Association of Canada, cli- maxed his address at the twilght meet- ing of the Ontario County Holstein Breeders' Association Tuesday night. The meeting was held at Werrcroft, the farm home of Mr, and:Mrs. Harold Werry, Kedron. More than 300 members, their wives and families attended and enjoyed to the full the program of judging, enter- tainment and speeches provided for their pleasure. Many of the visitors took advantage of the opportunity to tour the well appointed stables and see many of the 40 head of Holstein cows and the herd sire.

Doctors are not all in accord on the answer. Some say emotional stress causes allergic sensitivity. But many psychiatrists caution against thinking of a physical symptom as the direct result of a state of mind. Subtle and in' tricate biochemi- cal changds--oc- secur, they say, before the skin registers stress. Many things may rovoke a rash, ust as many ills cause a fever. . @ When anxiety mounts too high, says Dr. Richard L. Jenkins of the Veterans Ad- ministration, it impedes our abili- ties and contributes to illness and suffering. Dr. Jenkins thinks it is not the doctor's duty to abolish anxiety, but to help the sufferer control it. Recent studies indicate that. new "peace of mind" drug called Atarax aoes just that. Dr. Harry Robinson, of the University of ! -yland School of Medicine re- poris that the drug helped most of the 169 patients he treated for a variety of skin ailments "in which emotional tension was con- sidered to be a factor."
