Five hundred copies of the book, "Life in Canada", written by Thomas Conant in 1903 were printed, but not bound at that time. The pages were stored by the Conant family for 57 years, and 459 copies were recently bound at the request of Mrs. Conant, It was one of these copies that Mr. Conant presented to the school for reference purposes.

In 1788, after the American Revolution, a later Roger Conant left 13,000 acres of land in the state of Massachusetts, and walk- ed with seven children and an ox cart to the lake shore at Osh- awa. Around 1800 he had blazed 800 acres of land. In the early 1800's he invested in Durham boats, and his interests extended to the salmon fishing industry. Oshawa Creek, at that time was one of the finest salmon streams in North America. In 1812 through proceeds from his salmon sales, he purchased the lands on which the Conant School now stands.

LINEAGE TRACED Mr. Conant traced the family lineage back over 1000 years to the early Conants who came with the Romans to Normandy. Later in 1066, they crossed the English Channel with William the Con- queror, receiving lands in Devon. A later Roger Conant came to America on the ship following the Mayflower in 1623.

Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax were Col. Wotton said the city was being surveyed a second time be- cause it has increased in size since the last survey was made. The 30 minutes taken to send the alert across the county was reasonable, Lt.-Col. Wotton be- lieves but says the time could have been cut in half if the Osh- awa Fire Department had used the UHF or commercial two- metre radio alerting system and emergency phone numbers. : If the emergency alerting sys- tem had been used, he said, it would have called volunteer fire- men and disrupted the day's ac- tivities.

Through the fire mutual aid warning system in the county, 11 outlying communities were alert- ed of the warning as far north as Beaverton. bm -- FIND MANY CARS ARE DEFECTIVE A large percentage of the many Oshawa car owners who have taken advantage of the free check made at the Oshawa Safety Lane have found their cars defective, Of the 314 cars that passed through the lane in its first two days of operation 165 were rejected. Fifty-five of the rejected cars have had the defects covered and have been re-checked. THe lane set up near the Police Building is open from noon until 8 p.m. Monday liquor in a place other than in his residence, Ferguson was fined $20 and costs, or five days. through Saturday. siderable opposition to a propos- al to build an auditorium for the 16-room public school in West Rouge was voiced at Pickering township council meeting. Violet Swan, a school teacher and a former councillor, said there was no need for such frills in schools. "It means fancy curtains, fancy lighting, fancy plush seats. A glorified clubroom for people not connected with the school," she asserted. | She said she would go along with the idea of a gymnasium for the school as it did not have tenance personnel, Back row: AB Malcolm Marshall, Wey- ~National Defence Photo the facilities for physical train-| Auditorium Not Needed -Teacher BROUGHAM (Special) -- Con- ing.
