The group has started construction of its new recreation centre -- on Nonquon road next to the North Oshawa Arena -- but a plea for volunteer labor to help with the project has Hits Record High OTTAWA (CP) -- Boosted by heavier iron ore traffic and extra ocean freight, cargo busi- ness on the St. Lawrence Sea- way hit an all-time high last month, The St. Lawrence Seaway Au- thority announced Thursday that 8,756,205 tons of cargo were fallen on too many deaf ears. Help is needed quickly so that construction on the (30 feet by 60, two-storey building) can proceed. This centre can play an important part in the life of the north district community -- it would, be possible to finish off the job before mid-summer if residents rally to the cause. Phone President Jack Cook (723-4324) or Larry Em- mons (723-9705). | The building was started last August after several months | of planning --such a centre has long been a dream for the | north end, but most of the credit for advancing the plan thus far must go to Mr, Cook, the hard-working president and himself the father of seven children -- he asked that an active building committee be elected last August. A committee of three then was set up to plan, price and buy materials and to organize volunteer help. There were past- presidents who work equally as hard for the proposed centre, but they didn't get the needed support. $10,000 | OLD 6167 IS LAST CN "STEAMER" IN AREA moved by ship through the sea- Deformed Baby Made Ward Of Children's Aid KITCHENER (CP)--An ar- less baby with small, malformed legs, a cleft palate and probably a congenital heart defect has been made a permanent ward of the Waterloo County Chil- dren's Aid Society. Judge J. R. H. Kirkpatrick, in handing down his ruling at a family court hearing Thurs- day, said he was taking the step because the two-month-old child Sixty-five members of the Upper Canada Railway Society made a sentimental journey to Oshawa last Saturday. They spent more than six hours travelling over (via g ear and cab pulled by an electric engine) and inspecting the !ines and equipment of the Oshawa Railway. UCRS members don't make such pilgrimages for finan- | cial gain; .cith them it's a labor of love, a hobby for which | they make great personal sacrifices -- their 500-odd mem- | bers, more than 200 of whom live in Toronto, have an above- aveisge interest in railways, especially railway antiques | and items of historical interest. | The Oshawa visit last Saturday was only a_pin-drop compared with the big-show staged last Sunday by the UCRS (unde: the sponsorship of the Canadian National Railways). The Sunday event was the "steam special" excursion | from Toronto to Niagara Falls, Ont., highlight of which was the fact that the 17 passenger cars were pulled by No. 6167, CN's famous steam locomotive of a bygone era that was retired in 1943 ('The very last 'steamer' in this area," | Qs) would be difficult to care for jand because the strain could undermine the mother's health. Judge Kirkpatrick allowed re- porters to attend the hearing provided no names be made public, After the hearing, the baby's father said outside the court he felt the baby's malformation jhad something to do with pills his wife took during pregnancy, A drug named thalidomide, withdrawn from use in Canada about six months ago, has been blamed for similar malforma- tions among babies whose mothers took the tranquillizer, The mother, described as | under a severe strain, has never seen more than the child's head. Both parents agreed in court that they wished the agency to take care of the baby, their first. Judge Kirkpatrick said he was way route into and out of the Great Lakes in June a 23-6-per- cent jump over year-earlier freight movement. The June rise in traffic boosted seaway toll cargoes so far this shipping season to 20,- 367,269 tons, almost 15 per cent higher than in the April-June pe- riod last year. The imternational seaway, which includes the all-Canadian Welland Canal between Lakes Erie and Ontario, showed hefty increases in upbound traffic-- cargo moving westwards into the lakes. But east-bound traf- fie through the Montreal-Lake Ontario seaway was lighter than last year. UP TRAFFIC HIGHER Here is the cargo picture for June: In the Montreal-Lake Ontario seaway route, upbound traffic jumped 82.2 per cent to 1,769,- 094 tons, but downbound traffic fell 7.1 per cent to 1,933,987 tons. Welland Canal upbound traffic shot up 102.7 per cent to 1,813,- 654 tons, while downbound traf- fic rose 3.3 per cent to 3,239,470 tons, Said the Seaway Authority: "The increase in upbound traf- fic is due generally to extra shipments of iron ore from the lower St. Lawrence ports to Hamilton and Lake Erie and to an extra number of ocean ves- sels carrying both bulk and genera] cargoes into the Great Lakes." The record was hailed by sea- way experts as a promising sign of improving toll revenues for the Seaway Authority, Under law, the auihority charges tolls on ships and cargo to earn enough money to amortize the capital costs of building the sea- way between Montreal and Lake Ontario and deepening the Wel- jland Canal. © ITO SCRAP TOLLS | Canada plans to scrap tolls on the Welland Canal and has j/making the wardship perma-|their suspension.

The UCRS and the CNR also did an impressive job of organizing. Not only was old 6167 acclaimed by many aboard (as is befitting an historic first lady of the railway world), she was greeted like a Royal visitor by hundreds enroute, des- pite the early hour (9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) -- groups armed with cameras waved and cheered as she left Oak- ville, Hamilton, St. Catharines and Grimsby. "Amateur railroaders" (like the UCRS membership) have some sacred ritual which goes far to explain how deep ingrained and nostalgic is their feeling for trains. Ever hear of the run-past? It's one of them. like this: The excursion train stops at an obscure point, well be- yond the station, and many of the UCRS members disem- bark (with camera and sound equipment). The train backs up for a mile or two -- then it starts forward again at a highly accelerated speed past the disembarkation point where it is captured for posterity on film and sound tracks by eager UCRS members. There is also the sound-recording ritual in the baggage car, immediately behind the tender -- microphones, covered with cloth and leading to recording machines, are suspend- ed between the cars to pick up such sounds as engine whis- tles, the click-click of the train's wheels, the whiz of the air- brakes (the CN sometimes arranges a special electric conver- ter unit for this purpose.) There were three run-pasts Sunday, There would have been more, but about two-thirds of the passengers were not what Harland Creighton (a UCRS executive who helped or- ganize the trip) called "amateur railroad bugs". "Let's face it," he said, "many here today are not in- terested in trains or railway history. They are, so to speak; outside the fold' -- all they want is to get to Niagara for a low return rate ($5) and they don't care how the train is pulled, whether it be by old 6167, whom we all love, or by fleet-footed Reindeers". Modern air-conditioned coaches were used. The UCRS members were not the only "amateur rail- road bugs" aboard, however; members of rail clubs from Montreal, California, New Jersey, Vancouver, B.C., and Win- nipeg were also aboard. They brought greetings to Presi- dent Edward Jordan of the UCRS and his executive, ex- plained their latest club programs, etc. Some executives of the Canadian Railroad Historical As- sociation, Inc. (founded 32 years ago and with a member- ship of 900 today) handed out railway historical literature, | sold subscriptions to their various publications and explained | the purpose of their National Rail Transportation Museum | in Montreal, They own 53 pieces of rolling stock already.

(CP) -- Po- lice say a soldier charged with rape of a _ nine-year-old girl hanged himself in his jail cell after failing in an earlier at- tempt. Leo Patrick Cahill, 25, sta- tioned with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps in King- ston. was cut down Wednesday night after trying to hang him- self with his belt, police said. Jail Governor Wib Hartwick ordered all furniture removed from the cell and instructed guards to check Cahill every five minutes.

Since 1959 the 'Non-Ops By KEN SMITH MONTREAL (CP) -- Unions representing Canada's 100,000 non-operating railway employ- ees are to conclude their argu- ments today before a concilia- tion board studying their new contract demands. The three-man board, set up after negotiations between the unions and the railways broke down last February, then will adjourn to start preparing its report, The seven railways involved in the joint bargaining presented their final arguments to the board Thursday and charged the unions are ignoring. "such obvious facts as the financial position of the industry and the general economic situation." Pierre . Taschereau, -- counsel for the CNR, told the board that the 15 CLC - affiliated unions bargaining for the non-ops have failed to show that non-ops' salaries are in any way inade- quate when compared with what workers get for similar work in other industries. Speaking for all the railways, he said the union used mis- interpreted jurisprudence to try to justify their wage demands and a half-hearted attempt at rationalization to explain their job security proposals. The CPR's counsel, W. R. Jackett, also said the unions have made no case for a wage increase and hammered home the railways' attack on their job security demands, The plan as outlined by the unions originally would limit the reduction in the number of em- ployees with five or more years seniority to one per cent a year. Mr, Jackett said a proposal of that type is inacceptable. The railways' proposal be- came "completely and utterly extinct" after the unions broke off the talks, Mr. Jackett said. The unions' demands, submit- ted last December, included a call for a 22-cent-an-hour wage increase plus other fringe bene- fits.

Nationalist union leaders in Aden are planning a one-day strike Monday to protest against the London talks, They feel Arabs have not been fairly rep- resented in the delegation and that the federation is only a de- vice to bring Aden more firmly under British control.

Farms Placed In Quarantine Over Disease KITCHENER (CP) --Water- lo, and Wellington counties and two farms in Oxford County have been placed under govern- ment quarantine and Kitchener pig markets closed to prevent a general epidemic of hog cholera spreading in western Ontario. Up to Thursday, hog cholera in Ontario and Quebec had forced quarantine on 25 farms and the destruction of 2346 ani. mals, First signs of the disease in western Ontario came Wednes- day on the farm of Lloyd Zehr, East Zorra Township, Oxford County. Zehr and a federal department of agriculture officer said a pig was suffering from the disease at 11 a.m. and by 4 p.m. they had destroyed Zehr's entire herd of 113. The infected pig was one of 31 Zehr had purchased at Kit- chener June 28. A second farm in the county, in Blandford Township, was placed under quarantine Thurs. day as a precautionary measure after it was discovered the owner had bought pigs in Kit- chener a week ago. Another case of hog cholera was confirmed in Perth County Thursday. In Kitchener, the hog market scheduled for this week has been cancelled and, although no cases of cholera have been reportd in Wlilington and Waterloo coun- ties, the areas are under indef- inite quarantine. Kitchener district veterinarian Dr. Glen Collacutt said pigs sold from infected premises in eastern Ontario have been squad detectives and local shipped to Kitchener, Galt and |governor of Aden.

In two simultaneous raids Tuesday they arrested Ralph Pratt, 38, and Fred Davidson, 59, both of Port Colborne, in a hotel room, and Pratt's wife, Phyllis, 33, at their home in Humberstone Township.

Pratt and his wife have been released from custody on $3-000 property bail, but Davidson is still in county jail at Welland. His bail stands at $1,500 cash and $3,000 property. An anti-gambling squad detec.| tive who was in the raids de- scribed the gambling operation Thursday as "big business." He said police had found evidence that bets totalling $1,200 had been recorded in one day. Beau Valley IS GROWING!
