Find Body In Oshawa Harbor Basin A car containing a man, and bearing 1960 licence plates, was j |[pulled from Oshawa Harbor Sunday morning. A driver's licence and owner- ship papers, for the 1956 Chev- rolet coupe, found on the body, bore the name of Dennis Joseph| Lepine, 230 Celina street. The car was discovered by Robert Stephenson of Stone| street, one of a group of skin divers practising in the area. Ontario County Coroner Dr. J. A. Patterson said today no positive identification has been made yet but "there is not much question that is who it is." He did say he was working on "certain leads." David Lepine, believed to be the father, and Marjorie Cogh- lan, believed a sister of the dead man, arrived from Ren- frew Monday but neither was able to positively Identify the remains. . Sunday, police checked his last known Oshawa address and found he had left there some- time in July, 1960. Records at General Motors show that Le- pine failed to show up for work | on July 7, 1960. The car was towed to the On-| tario Motor Sales lot on Bond street and the body removed to Oshawa General Hospital. Iden- tification was attempted by two| persons Sunday afternoon but | neither one was able to pos-| -------- itively identify the body. A Requiem Mass will be sung in Renfrew Wednesday, Oct. 11, for the deceased. He will be Bowlers buried there.

TO PRESENT COIN A stirling silver. coin from Oshawa will be presented to the Peace Building in Cardiff, Wales, Great Britain, by Mayor Christine Thomas. The coin is similar to one the mayor received herself at the first Annual Banquet and Ex- hibit of the Oshawa and Dis. trict Coin Club Saturday night. In her speech during the ban- quet the Mayor made mention of an earlier private visit to the {Peace Building in Cardiff, {where she had seen a collec. tion of gifts brought there by travellers from all over the world.
