Opening Of Road Delayed Opening of Highway 401 be- tween Newcastle and Port Hope will be postponed until early in 1960, according to Hon. Fred M. Cass, Minister of Highways. Originally, it was intended that the south lane would be opened to two-way traffic this winter and that the north lane would be completed in 1960. Wet weather in the past two months has delayed the trimming of guard rails on the south lane and, in the interests of traffic safety, it has been decided to defer the opening of this lane. Work is well up to schedule on all sections of Highway 401 that are now under construction and the 14-mile section between Highway 10 and Highway 25 will be opened officially on Nov. Work is in progress from High- way 25 west to Highway 8 and from Port Hope to Brighton with both sections scheduled for com- pletion .in 1960. heat directly into electrical ener- gy and demonstrations of mis- and fp or gh gh lary power systems.

T Rid » Ee om tt dh the Oshawa Shopping Centre, has called for co-operation between the centre and the downtown merchants association to help re- move the "antiquated" Wednes- day afternoon closing bvlaw from Oshawa's statute books. Mr. Schmitz said this morning some 30 shopping centre stores, which are normally affected by| the closing bylaw, would remain open this afternoon. He said their solicitors were looking into the question. He said he was not trying to create animosity between the shopping centre and the down- town merchants but just "ques- tioning the bylaw'. STAND TO GAIN Mr. Schmitz said the down- town merchants would stand to gain if they sided with the shop- ping centre in this issue. "We have a $13,000,000 opera- tion here and we mean to be competitive," he said. "There is no sense in allowing thousands of dollars worth of business to go to Toronto every Wednesday after- noon. "This bylaw was drafted in 1944 when there were practically mo specialty shops in operation. {forced to remain closed. DISCRIMINATION CLAIMED "This, of course, is unfair, since department stores now deal in everything and supermarkets have almost as many items in {their inventories." He claimed this discriminated against merchants selling only one line of goods who had to close on Wednesday afternoon while a department store which sold the same goods would be allowed to remain open a few doors away. TO OBEY LAW ; Don Brown, president of the Downtown Merchants' Associa- ciation, said his group would {abide by the bylaw. | He agreed with Mr. Schmitz {that the law was outdated and |discriminatory against specialty {stores but said that "there are other ways of getting laws |changed than by breaking them." Police Chief Herbert Flintoff said his men would be checking the centre this afternoon.

The building is equipped with a gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling lanes, club rooms, snack bar, book store fellowship hall and auditorium. In it are conduct- ed church activities, athletic leagues, banquets, conventions and Bible study classes. Coming with Mr. Forbes for the muscial part of the program will be a mixed ensemble which will also provide a ladies' trio and mixed quartette, The Oshawa Youth Centre ban- quet and program will be held this year in the Salvation Army Citadel, Simcoe street south, at 6.30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4.

Ebbs told the student drivers that 65,000 Ontario drivers were in danger of losing their operator's permits, The latest statistics, quoted by| the magistrate, showed that 35 motorists have already reached| their 12-point limit and have lost| their licences. The 65,000 havel from three to six points register- ed against them and are in dan- ger of reaching their 12-point limit within the two-year period. There have been a total of 81, 073 convictions registered against Ontario's 2,217,833 licenced driv- ers. Broken down in age group- ings 12 percent of the offenders were between the ages of 16 and 19; 27 percent from 20 to 24; 29 percent from 25 to 34; 18 per- cent from 35 to 44, and 14 per- cent, 45 and over. Upon obtaining six points, of- fenders are sent a letter warning them that at nine points they are required to attend an interview to show why their licences should not be suspended. Magistrate Ebbs feels that the point system has brought about an increased awareness of the motor vehicle laws and their en- forcement. A statistical report, he feels, is especially effective in this regard. There were 22 present at the clinic.

Mr. Brown stated Monday that he would ask questions about a trip made by four members of the roads commission, the coun- ties engineer and the counties clerk to Vancouver to attend the Canadian "Good Roads Conven- tion in September. Those attending the convention. were Warden Garnet Rickard, chairman, D. Dingwall, V. Wii- son, E, Nelson, and Counties En- gineer George L. Totten and Counties Clerk Ken Symons. One member of the commis- sion, B. Ashton did not go, and said he returned a cheque for $400 which was sent to him as ex- penses for the trip. Warden Gar- net Rickard said that he had imposed a ceiling of $400 on ex- penses of each man making the trip and he did not think this was excessive. When council convened Tues- day morning, the warden placed the session in committee as a whole, and stated that following the engineer's report, the roads and bridges committee would meet, to be followed by the fin- ance ittee. He prop that receive reports council from the committees Wednes- day. Mr, Brown said that he would like to discuss part of the engi- neer's accounts under the head. ing of "miscellaneous" and was told that it could be discussed in the Roads and Bridges com- mittee meeting which was to be convened immediately, "CRAZY SPENDING" Following the roads and bridges committee meeting, Mr. Brown said he had asked for the judicial inquiry.

I don't know why the clerk was included. "There's a lot of stuff in the reports to council which is in- comprehensible to me, and I would like some clearer expla- nation. This sort of thing has been going on a long time and I think that a judicial inquiry might clean matters up," he added. A motion by Deputy - reeve Mike Wladyka of Port Hope, that in future, delegations to road conventions outside the pro- vince of Ontario be limited to the warden, the chairman of the roads commission and the coun- ties engineer, was apparently defeated in the committee.

"I feel we always have a very good friend in the Department of Education in him." INTEREST GROWING a f|duty. That is where the great and pr ed up to the line of duty, Dr. Can- non said. Looking at the teachers in the rows in front of the guests, he said: "This group of people here are working beyond the line of work is done."

There were seven teachers at the time, ~ In May, 1958, the school was officially opened by Dr. Cannon. It had grown so much that it had been forced to go into shift classes until use could be made of the new wing last September. There were now 17 teachers, he said. Dr. Elliott introduced each one of them as well as the two custodians, to the guests. Dr. Cannon was introduced by George A. Fletcher, vice chair- man of the board. LOCAL SCHOOLS CHOSEN Monday, Dr. Cannon said, when he wanted to show a distin- guished man from Japan, who was interested in education, two of the province's schools he had chosen the Donevan Collegiate Institute and the Dr. C.
