Fred St. John 75 Creltwood Road Telephone Av. 5-3443 Mr. Goodhead was quite out- spoken about the difficulties of reconciling the needs and ob- jectives of the city of Toronto proper with those of suburban municipalities. He felt that not enough engineers were enter- ing politics and that their train- ing and experience would be of invaluable assistance in meet- ing the increasingly complex problems being faced by gov- erning bodies today. Mr. Goodhead was strong- ly in favour of commuter service to Toronto and de- plored the abandoning of the old metropolitan radial system which once went as far north as Sutton. He felt too, that the subway could quite sensibly be ex- tended to such places as Aurora and Stoufi’ville. Officers of the York Chapter of the Association of Profes- sional Engineers of Ontario elected for the 1964-65 term were: H. Donald Hamilton, Aur- ora, chairman; J. W. Bradstock, Richmond Hill, immediate past chairman; T. F. Phippard, New- market, vice-chairman; Ken Luczka, Newmarket, treasurer; F. J. Wims, Aurora; secretary; executive members, P. J. Ham- brook. R. Sandy and E. A. Chadwick. Seventy-one entries were re- : corded in various classes at the j4‘lst annual plowing match ‘ sponsored by the North York Branch of the Ontario Plow- men's Asociation. The match was held at the farm of Fred Timbers, Concession 7, Whit- church Township. Walter D. Atkinson of Stouff- ville was winner of a special class for businessmen plowing with horses. This event was held for the first time at this year’s match.

Four years ago Mr. Gorman heard about the Save the Children Fund and was so moved by conditions un- der which so many children in the world exist that he decided to do something about it. Now he spends about $650 annually to help the children by sending the money to the CSCF fund and letting his cus- tomers know what the money has done. Last year he told his customers that an eight-year- old Indian boy who had never attended school is now at school and doing well; a 16-year-old leprosy victim is improving and two Hong Kong children| have been able to start to school.1 Mr. Gorman is a Roman Cath- olic and has specified that the children “adopted" in lieu of Two children in Hong Kong, Christmas gifts to his custom- one in India, one in Greece, two ers must be of all religions and in Italy, one in Germany and races. one in Martlnque, eight in all, The first year he sent out are aided by a unique Christ- cards and pictures of the chil- mas gift plan adopted by Peter dren, giving a short history of Gorman. well-known Newmar- each.

Newmarket Firm Aids Children As Customers' Christmas Gifts The following excerpt: from a recent editorial in the Lon- don Free Press is typical of the favorable reception Mr. Mor- eau's comments have received in the Canadian press from coast to coast. Anyone missing a cat as described above is asked to call the Orange Home or Mrs. J. Atkinson at 773- 5349. Employees at the Home are concerned as they are unable to keep the cat indoors, although it is be- ing fed regularly, and they fear it will soon be too cold outside for the animal.

Canadian parents and now lives Maurice Moreau MP Speaks Out, For Maintenance 0f Federal Powers ‘ A concerned cat lover called “The Liberal” office this week to advise that a full-grown, short haired white cat had appeared It the Orange Home two weeks ago and has been cared for there ever since. The cat appeared well fed, but had had it’s tail cut off quite recently, al- though the wound ls heal- ing up nicely. Says Mr. Gorman: “I wish I had thought of this years ago. As a result of it, Christmas has become a happier time for us and my customers also seem to like receiving the progress re- ports." It costs $60 to “adopt” a spe- cific_ child for a year. The Germans have eight chil- dren of their own. “Mr. Moreau, who was born .in Saskatchewan of French- Canadlan parents and now lives in Toronto, argued that with- ,out full powers Canada could ‘not survive as an independent nation and if it broke up the French-Canadians would inevi- tably be assimilated on a con-3 tinent where English is the basic language for some 200,- 000,000 people. The first year he sent out cards and pictures of the chil- dren, giving a short history of each. Reaction was favorable and has led to the “adoption" of at least 40 other children, Mr. Gorman reports. ‘ “It is to be expected that French-Canadians would pay more attention to such a warn- ing coming from another French-Canadian than they would If it were uttered by an English-speaking compatriot."
