Police, Firemen, Civic Workers All Seek $ Hike, Added Benefits Firemen, police and civic em- ployees in Oshawa are seeking pay increases. The firemen and policemen want raises of $800 a year per man and the civic work- ers want pay hikes that would cost the .city an estimated $32,760 a year. Ald. Joseph Victor, chairman of the finance committee, said that all workers received cost of living bonuses of $60 a year. As the cost of living had decreased according the official index, that $60 ould probably be incorporated in the basic pay rates this year. The police commission has of- fered the policemen an extra $400 a year, including the cost of living bonus. It is felt likely the police, represented by A. W. S.. Greer, Q.C., will take their re~vest for more money to arbitration. Sitting in commitiee we coun- cil last night considered the pro- posals it will submit to the civic workers and firemen, The eclvic employees union has submitted re- quests asking for a straight $2 per hour overtime pay instead of the present $1.50; $1 per day pay for standby drivers; the city pay 100 per cent of the cost of medical and 50 per cent of the cost of hospital- ization plans; and for supplemen- tary pensions to be paid after 10 years of service instead of the present 20 years, The union also wants an across-the-board increase of $21 a month to salaried em- ployees and 12% cents per hour to hourly-wage workers, ; Council is to offer time and a half for overtime. It is willing to accede to the $1 per day standby pay but as its contributions to hos- pital schemes are in line with other industries in the city it is going to reject the unlon's claim in that regard. It will also turn New Russian Envoy Woos Ch China Support By THOMS P. MOSCOW NEY new Rus- sian government named deputy for- eign minister Vasily Kuznetsov its envoy to Peiping today, emphas- izing Prime Minister Georgi Mal- enkov's promise of continued unity with Communist China. The announcement of the ap- pointment of Kuznetsov, a leading figure in the Soviet Communist party and Jong the head of Rus- sia's trade unions, appeared in the same issue of the Moscow news- paper Pravda as a eulogy of the late Joseph Stalin, written by Com- munist Chinese leader Mao Tse- tung. The appointment of Kuznetsov to the key Peiping job offered some support for western beliefs that the Kremlin is uneasy about the re- actions of Mao toward the Malen- kov government. Some western sources have sug- ested that the, Chinese leader is Sister to_demand a much greater voice in world communist plan- ning than he claimed when Stalin was alive and in the saddle. Malenkov took particular pains in his speech at Stalin's funeral to emphasize his government's desire for an even closer relationship be- tween the world's two largest Com- munist countries. Speaking over the bier of his dead chief, the new prime minister said: "We must in every way consoli- date the eternal, indestructible and fraternal friendship of the Soviet Union with the great Chinese peo- ple and with the workers in all countries of the peoples' democ- racies." But unlike most of the world's Communist chiefs, Mao was not on hand to hear the statement. The Chinese leader did not make the pilgrimage to Moscow for the cere- monial entombment of the dead Stalin. He sent, instead, Chou En- lai, who doubles as Peiping's prem- ier and foreign minister, ' down the 10-year eligibility period for pensions. Until it has met the union, coun- cil is to keep its pay proposals secret. When the agreement is completed the benefits will be made retroactive to the first of the year. The union representing the fire- men has asked that the present work week of 56 hours to be cut to 48. Council, faced with sub- stantia] pay increases to the fire- men, is not prepared to grant the reduction in hours. The firemen want to have three weeks' vaca- tion with pay after 10 years serv- ice but council has decided to keep the three weeks' holiday for men with 15 years service. The $800 increase to the firemen would mean that a man who join- ed the department as a \fourth- class fireman would receive $3,450 a year. A first-class fireman would get $3,950. The pay would rise along the line and the assistant chief would get $4,850--more than the chief is paid at present, Council] haa a long debate in committee on the pay increase it will offer the firemen. The fire- men have already charged that the council is not bargaining in good faith--a charge which Ald. Victor has refected. He pointed out to the firemen that council this year has had to work harder than any other council in recent years and that it is pursuing the matter along the "right lines." . It is usual in Oshawa for the pay of firemen and police to be at the same level, with the fire- men working more hours. 1 WOMAN DEAD IN HOSPITAL FIRE LITTLE BRITAIN (CP)--One woman is dead amtl another missing today after a fire des- troyed a private convalescent hospital in this community near Lindsay.

Gifford's farmhouse eastwards on a line just below the new highway. It reaches a point near J. L, Bea- ton's farm on the way to Darling- won. '""There aren't any houses there and nobody wants this road," de- clared Ald. Norman Down. He was scared that the department would hand the road over to the city to maintain. "Taxpayers are already over- burdened. Yet here we have one- and-a-half miles of road and a bridge crosking the creek junction on piles 16 feet apart. The marsh there in winter is filled with ice and water. In the first average winter we will be able to wave goodbye to that bridge as it goes out with the flood. A lot of the road will also end up in Lake Ontariq after a spring flood." Ald. Wes Powers sald he was surprised when ne went to the area and saw the road going in, The department hadn't told the council anything about it. He reassured Ald. Down that there was no rea- son why council should be saddled with the cost of the upkeep of the road. He had been told by the de- partment that 19,000 tons of crushed gravel of various sizes was to be laid and that the road would have a 9-inch bed. The engineer for the department, said Ald. Powers, had told him that the road was being built through that area, which had been bought by the department, as otherwise the department would have to carry its road to the loca- tion on overhead bridges crossing the double-lane highway and two railway lines. It was cheaper to build the road south of the high- way "But why? N lives there. The Darlington i 8 live on the north of the highway," pointed out Ald, Down Local Lodge Seeks Northminster Site 'The board of Northminster Unit- ed Church wants to sell its church property at Arlington and Simcoe Street North. Unwillingly, city coun-|s cil last night was pulled into the sale details. Ald. Rae Halliday reported that the Knights of Columbus wanted to buy § the church property. The frat- ernal organization had asked planting board whether they would allowed to use the property und- er the zoning by-law and had been informed by the board that it -- not consent to the proposal. "Both parties are anxious settle on this sale," sald Ald. Ha liday. He made a motion that. pro- vided the sale was agreeable to both parties, the council advise the lodge that the city had no objec- Hon to them using the Northminster site. Ald. Hayward Murdoch said the planning board chairman had been unable to grant the request as the zoning by-law only permitted the use of schools and churches in re- sidential areas.

"A complete investigation uld be made." "Only personal contact has been made so far," reported Ald. Mur- doch, "Mr. Millman, Planning board chairman, only Sustpreted the by-law. I'm fnclined to ew that the c should obtain this property or use as a kinder- garten for North Simcoe Street school." Ald. Joseph Victor didn think to | the matter was of any concern to the city, : A charge that the zoning by-law had been flouted the whole length of Simcoe Street was made by Ald. Halliday. Council decided to refer the mat- ter to the planning board and to ask the Knights of Columbus to make a formal request for some action, Until the new Northminster church, at the corner of Rossland Road and Simcoe Street, is ready for occupancy by + the summer's end, the church congregation will continue to use the Arlington-Sim- coe site.

The Crown attorney and police are consulting on whether any ac- tion will be taken. The animal mangled Hill's' arm from the shoulder to the wrist Monday night after he reached in- to her cage. Witnesses said Hill stopped at a local hotel with his truck. In a dage in the back were two. lions. They said Hill reached into the cage and said 'C'mon Goldie." Then Hill yelled: "She's got me!" Andy Adams of Toronto opened the cab of the truck and grabbed a pair of pliers, handing them to Hill. One of the lions knocked the pliers out of Hill's hand before he could use them. "We started bashing the outside of the cage, sald Adams. Hill man- aged to wrench his arm free and was taken to hospital by police. The lions were impounded by Simcoe police pending instructions. If, was the second time the three- yedr-old lioness had attacked Hill. She mauled him last year, tore the leg of a Vanessa, Ont., woman in another attack and later hurt an eight-year-old girl at Lethbridge Alta. Last June the loness escaped from its cage at a mid-way side- show and attacked Judith Woolf, daughter of Harvey Woolf of Card- ston, Alta. The father grabbed the lioness by the ears and began beat- ing it off but the girl suffered a broken shoulder blade and lacer- ations. Eleven men tore the lioness from Mrs, Herman Smith, 43, of Van- essa after it attacked her in a Brantford office in February, 1952. Hill had the animal on a leash at the time. Mrs. Smith suffered leg wounds that required 70 stit- ches. Hill, who keeps several lions in winter quarters at a farm near Simcoe, was brought into court following the Brantford attack. He was fined $100 and $25 costs for failing to take responsible precau-| tions with a wild animal in a pub-| lic place. It's A Rose For Oshawa Officialdom The rose was last night officially adopted as Oshawa's civic flower. Council made the decision at the request of the local horticultural society, No other city has the rose as its flower and the horticultur- ists said no finer choice could be made. Ald. Joseph Victor wondered. He said the rose wasn't native to the Oshawa climate, He also wanted to know just what was the signific- ance in choosing a civic flower. "Do we have to wear them to council meetings? Will the rose ap- pear on our letter heads?" he asked. Out of a babble of puns about "a thorny subject', "by any other name this would smell as sweet' and "it could be our symbol for the battle of the roses," Ald. Hay- ward Murdoch was heard to ob- serve: "A civic flower really has no symbolism."

Mcintyre Hood, managing editor of The Times - Gazette, at a banquet held in honor of the 139th anniversary of the birth of this Ukrainian apostlé¥f freedom. The event was sponsored by the rainian Business and Professional Men's Association, and was attend- ed by a large gathering of citi- zens of Ukrainian birth and de- scent. It marked their annual ob- servance of the anniversary of their national hero, George Boychon presided over the gathering, in association with which a program of Ukrainian mu- sic was broadcast over a local radio station, as was part of the guest speaker's address. The Osh- awa string ensemble, made up of Charles Eder, Florence Brother- wood, John Drewniak, Michael Kupnicki and Caroline Frolic, pro- vided delightful music in the course of the evening.

In his address on the life and work of Shevchenko, part of which he delivered in the lane guage, M. McIntyre Hood said i was a coincidence that two of the great racial groups in Canada held their greatest celebrations each: year in honor of their national poets. The Scots honored Robert Burns on January 25 each year, and the Ukrainians paid tribute to Schevchenko on March 9. There were many points of similar ity between the two poets. They both had humble beginnings and knew the grinding harshness of an unkind world in their youth. Burns was born in a little cottage in Scotland, and Shevchenko in a peasant's cabin in the Ukraine, as UKRAINIANS HONOR (Continued on Page 2) 'SIX DRINKS LATE Playboy Prince Adds Spirit, Zest To Staid Old Monarchy What kind of man is the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of the Queen?
