Price for the equipment itself is listed as $2,141. : The Alco Type "S" Vertical Pressure Filter will be complete with sand, gravel, in-@ ~ terior and exterior piping valves, sight glass, pressure gauges, soda » and alum feeders and venturi tube, Piping on the filter will be " arranged so that additional filters may be added at a later date. As well as the fil'r , a centri~ fugal swinming pool circulating pump and motor, a suction strainer, makeup tank and pump primer will _ be installed. At C.R.A. Disposal In answcr to a query from C.R.A. Director, R. L. Coleman, the board said the Ritson playgrounds and pool would be placed at the dis- posal of the C.R.A. for July and August even if the new unit was not available by July 1. W. Gordon Bunker, business ad- ministrator, was instructed to write the Kinsmen Club asking its sup- port in the installation of addi- tional playground equipment for the public. schools, { Inspeator T. R. McEwen reported that the proposed new equipment for the playgrounds would cost ap- proximately $1,000 per school. To Investigate Paving L. M. Souch, Chairman of the board, and Trustee Dr. F. J. Done- van were appointed to make further i Iavestigation r-fore authorizing the paving of the east side of South Si coe School to a width of about 45 feet with 1%" plant mixed asphaltie concrete. Under the plan, a smaller area on the north side ! would be paved with 3" asphaltic concrete. Trustee E. A. Lovell advised closer study of the project since similar areas at Cedar Dale, Ritson and Centre Street Schools, all paved in half," said Mr. Lovell. "If so, let's get it in the first place." The board accepted the $4,100 tender, submitted by Hill-Cernish Electric, for the rewiring of Ritson Sc Two Churches Would Expand Enquiries by two churches in the city regarding the purchase of ad- ditional property were made known last night. 'The City Gouncil dealt with an offer from © Knox Presbyterian Church to purchase property on Wilson Road North while the Board of Education heard an enquiry from Northminster United Church regarding a portion of the North Simcoe School property. The offer from Knox Church was to purchase three lots on Wilson Road and one on Rogers Street for | what was understood to be a Sun- day School. The communication was referred to the City Property committee and the Town Planning Commission. Northminster Church asked the Board of Education for informa- tion regarding possible purchase of a 100 x 200 foot piece tract of land now part of North Simcoe School grounds. A letter to the board said the land in question was "the only ray of hope" for the location of a new church in that area. W. Gordon Bunker, board busi- ness administrator, estimated the grounds to be "about six §res", al- Song that was "only ", he 1945, now required a sand surface | sai | treatment at an estimated cost of $502. "Is this going to be an annual proposition?" Mr. Lovell asked. Trustee J. L. Beaton said that such asphalt surfaces were bound to buckle in spots. The surfacing treatment would "take care of it for two or three years," he sug- gested. | "Perhaps we need a three-inch thickness instead of one and a "We're supposed to' much ground according partment's regulations," Trustee E.

P. Mangan, K.C., asked permission for his client to build a store to the front of the present residence at 176 Simcoe Street South. The proposed store prem= ises would extend from the pres- ent front wall of the premises to the street line. It would be of concrete block construction on steel beams and would be faced with brick. There would be a cen- tral entr2nce with plate glass dis- play windows on each side. The proposed store would be the same width as the present premises. Mr. Managan pointed out that the two properties to the south were built out to the street line but that the Madison Apartments to the north were some distance back from the street line. Ald. Gordon Davis pointed out that in 1939 council had passed a by-law to set back all building | a certain distance from the street | line in order to provide for the widening of the street should fit be found necessary ifi view of the fact that the street would be a main artery leading to the dual highway, "When rules and regulations are laid down we should play by them," commented Ald. J. N. Willson. "If we granted permission to build out close to the street line and then in 10 or 12 years wanted to widen the street, we would have to pay a pretty penny," as- serted Ald. Mrs, Bateman, Ald. J. A, Coleman pointed to King Street as an example of the lack of foresight of cvuncils in the past. He sald the street is nar- row-and he could not see why the council should make the same mistake when it has the oppor- tunity to keep the street wide. It was pointed out that in at least one instance in recent years in which permission was granted ,to build out to the street line on 4Simcoe Street South, provision had been made whereby council 'could widen and remove part of the building without cost. CHADBURN SQUADRON AIR CADETS By CPL. PETERS Peaceful rest and relaxation at last. No parades this week except on Wednesday night. Wednesday might was the night of the Army-Air Cadet combined parade. The cadets fell in at 91.45 hours, and we all went for a little walk, route march that is, After the parade there was a canteen on hand which was just what was needed. A film was shown entitled "Desert Victory." It was the story of the victory of the 8th Army over the German forces under Rommel. The vic- ious battles were enacted before our eyes. The furious tank bat- tle which left the Desert Fox al- most powerless was one of the highlights of the film. The air force was in there too, devastat- ing the German installations and pounding the enemy's supply lines. The navy, too, played its part in this combined operation which literally turned the tide of the war, The submarines station- ed in the Mediterranean wreaked havoc among the Nazi supply ships. It was a great picture and one which should make Cana- dians proud to be Canadians, The evening's entertainment drew to a close with the end of the picture, and the parade was successful in its purpose for a friendlier atmosphere among the cadet corps, Don't forget the parade this week as usual. Let's get out and look sharp for inspection, which is not far off. Union To Get Tax Information "That's what I've been trying to g:t the council to do, that very thing for some time--to attach to each tax slip a statement explain- ing how the tax rate was made up," Mayor F. N. McCallum said last night as Ald, J. N. Willson said he thought taxpayers were entitled to this information. The question arose when a letter was read from Local 1817, United Steelworkers of America, objecting to council's answer to its request for information as to the different items accounting for the increase in the tax rate this year, Council had replied to this re- quest by forwarding to the local a copy of The Times-Gazette in which this information had been reported some time ago. The letter from Local 1817 last night termed the council's action "most unusual" and demanding a statement of the information, stating '1a* a number of its members did mot read The Times-Gazette and so could not have been expected to see the ariisle referred to. d. Willson, who had n, present at the previous 20L Seen said that the steelworkers, as tax- payers, were entitled to the in- formation asked for. When others expressed a similar view, the city treasurer was Instructed to give a break-down of the increase in the mill rate this year, Pull Together Spirit Asked of U.K. Labor rs ans grok doped stom, wars and a lon, is fighting for her national existence in an unprecedent- ©1 economic crisis. This is one of a series of stories giving a detailed picture of the crisis, its causes, effects and the battle being fought to overcome it, By JOHN DAUPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer London, April 29--(CP) -- A Socialist government impose direct control om labor must persuade 7,000,000-0dd trade unionists to sacrifice volun. tarily the job-protecting practices for which they fought for years. What the United Kingdom must have is greater individual output from its working force. There is no hope of getting en- ough extra manpower to meet the nation's production goals without "There now -ig no place for in- dustrial arrangements which re- strict production, prices or em- ployment," said Prime Minister Attlee's economic White Paper last month, Accordingly: 1. Labor is being asked to work with foreigners brought in from Europe, an "import" it has always opposed on grounds that only Britons should get British jobs. 2. It is being asked to work on' new pay systems including "in- centive bonuses" for high-speed work, a scheme banned in most industries to protect labor from so-called exploitation and work shortages. 3. It is being asked to limit demands for higher pay and shor- ter hours to cases where they will bring increased output, 4, It is being asked to move from non-essential to more neces- sary jobs, even though the work may be harder and conditions worse, Avoid Conflict But Attlee and his cabinet must rely on the co-gperation from or- ganized labor, avoiding any direct conflict with the Trades Union Congress which provides the big- gest bloc of Socialist voting strength., Critics of the government's po- licy claim this is the weak link in the whole post-war production lan, y During the Second World War, labor was directed to essential work under emergency orders that still are in effect but are not--and cannot--be used. The Attlee government must do by roundabout means what Winston Churchill's coalition government could do by force, with the obvi- justification of German bombs. Control over employers instead of workers is a large part of the Socialist answer. Allocation of coal, electricity and raw mater- jals can be manipulated to limit employment in luxury and semi- luxury trades, Government licen- ces for new factories and machi- nery can have the same effect. Government help will be given to the less-pleasant and heavier industries to improve their work=- ing conditions. Special concessons may be made for certain labor groups; already extra non-ration. ed foods and consumer goods have been sent to mining areas. Today manpower is badly dis- tributed--so far out of line that, even with direct control of place- ments, ideal distribution would be impossible immediately be- cause of housing shortages.

The "Mile of Pennies," sponsor- ed by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the 34th Ontario Regiment, will be held June 21 and the proceeds will go towards supplying comforts for the hospitalized soldiers of Oshawa. The ladies explained they did not want the soldiers to think people had forgotten them. The Canadian Relief to Greece Appeal will be held May 17 and will take the form of a tag day. Several complaints regarding smoke in the city have been receiv- ed by the Commission, but as ex- plained by Chief of Police Owen D. Friend, it is something about which they can do ngthing. - "The by-law states," he said, "that factories are permitted to emit any kind of smoke they want to, for a period of six minutes out of every hour." He told of one fac- tory, against which a number of complaints had been lodged, "Actually," he said, 'this one in particular, emitted dense smoke for only a period of two minutes, out of the hour." : All dog lovers are warned to take heed of another by-law which states that all dogs must be tied up for the next four months and not be allowed to run loose.

Men's Club To Sponsor Big Auction Sale Something entirely new and dif- ferent to the district is being plan- ned for Saturday, May 10, when the Men's Service Club of Christ Memorial Church will sponsor an "Oddments Auction" in the church grounds. Articles for the auction are being garnered from far and wide, in fact, anyone in the city who has any- thing useful for the home, the gar- den, the workshop, or a hobby, who has no further use for it themselves, may help a worthy cause by phon- ing 2745-R and arrangements will be made to pick up whatever is of- fered. Oddments means Odds and Ends but most emphatically doesn't mean an insignificant collection. On the contrary, the response to date is most heartening, articles large and small having already been received, including chesterfield, bed, lawn- mower, eiderdown, fencing, radio, jacket heater, dishes, drapes, rugs, pictures, dressing table, fernery, toaster, and many more equally use- ful things. 'The beautiful new Church, which was opened last month, is a credit to any community, and can become a civic beauty spot when landscap- ing is completed. The plan for the Auction was conceived to take the place of asking for further mone- tary subscriptions to complete the final construction costs and begin the beautification project. The unique feature, however, of the entire auction, is to bring out of storage many useful, and many otherwise unobtainable articles, and put them up for sale so that others may avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to obtain something they may have long been looking for. Al Evans, who is chairman of the Building Committee, is also chair- man, of the Auction Board. Frank Stirtevant will be the Auctioneer for the event, which will commence at 10 o'clock in the morning and continue until thé last article has been offered for sale. Every organization within the Church is wholeheartedly lending their support to the venture, How- ever, the co-operation of the entire population of the city is solicited, not only in donating anything they may not need but that may be use- ful to someone else, but in turning out the day of the sale to join in the jovial throng and prove the old saying that "Everybody loves an Auction", Stand Firm On Supply Teachers Salary Schedule Board of Education last night r:fused to budge from its revised NET PROFIT 1S $166469 AT FITTINGS A net profit of $166,469.03 on operations for 1946 as compared with $79,179.40 in 1945, was re- ported by President A, G.

This compares with an earned surplus of $40,- 093.92 at December 31, 1945. Mr. Storie reported that the buildings and equipment had been maintained in good condi- tion, additions and improvements to buildings and equipment dur- ing the year resulting in an addi- tion to capital assets of $84,- 534.37. He added that additional capital expenditures of approxi- mately the same amount are an- ticipated during the current year, Production was well maintain- ed, he said, despite difficulties in securing raw materials and sup- plies.

Ex- pansion is badly needed. A library should not be regarded as a luxury but as a necessity. The need for a new building should be a matter of civic pride", Rev. George Telford, chairman of the Oshawa Public Library Board, told members of the Oshawa Rotary Club at their luncheon meeting yesterday In an address in which he outlined the work the library is doing for the community. It was pointed out that the pres- ent library was built when Oshawa had a population of 5000 people. Since then only one small addition had been added. The present fac- ilities are being used to the ut- most. Seven On Staff Residents of the community are served by a staff of seven, four of whom are trained libraries. Three of these are graduates of universi- ties while the chief librarian is also a post-graduate in library science. The librarians are doing a varied work, Three public school classes each week spend part of the fore- noon at the library while a radio story hour is conducted each Sat- urday morning. A special library is equipped for those of high school age where a trained assistant gives guidance and in reading projects. For adults, in addition to their usual reading, a reefrence library 1s available. The librarians are pre- pared to answer a wide variety of questions, There is also a good se- lection of pamphlets on many sub- jects, together with magazines, mags, pictures, encyclopedias, dic- tionaries, periodicals and cata- logues. Eight newspapers are avail- abl e. In addition to their routine work, the librarians prepare book lists and book review for the local pa- pers, arrange displays, design pos- ters and occasionally give talks at schools and group meetings. : "Fiction in Oshawa", Mr. Tel- ford continued "forms a large part of the literary diet of our readers. This is not to be regretted, as the novel is a most valuable instrument of culture. It reflects the speech, habits, dress, business, amuse- ments, standards and ideals of a given period. It mirrors the wri- ter"s taste and philosophy. It cul- tivates imagination, widens hori- zons, and enriches vocabulary, Fic- tion provides entertainment and escape for wearied minds. The novel has"often been the potent in- strument in a crusade, But fiction is by no means the only material circulated by the library. "There are 1,400 technical books in the library. Besides these, vol- umes on general science, sociology, literature, religion, philosophy, his- LARGER LIBRARY (Continued on Page 11) Oshawa and Vicinity PLAN DISTRICT CONFERENCE Members of the Oshawa Rotary Club were reminded, at their meeting yesterday, of the district conference to be held in Toronto on June 19 and 20.

Be- cause a farmer would see that there is a lot of similarity between the hay in his mow and important money «+. money in the bank. For the wise farmer stores hay-- not just enough for a mild winter, but enough for the longest, most severe one. And the wise saver provides not only for the expenditures he plans a million more Canadians realized that setting aside money in a savings account at the B of M was sound commonsense--like the farmer put- ting hay in his barn. That makes a million and a half B of M depositors following a policy that is at once in the best interests of the individual depositor and in the best interests of the nation. For money in the bank doesn't lie idle. It works constantly in two ways. It works for the saver and it works for national prosperity--pro- viding, by loans and investment, the capital that creates employment. It * helps to produce goods... to pro- duce prosperity.
