"It is highly dangerous to keep a report like this from the public," he said today, "when there is property to be bought to complete some of the proj- ects. "Those who had an_ inside glimpse had a chance to 'ook over things such as one-way routes. They had a chance to pick up properties. ""T had a real estate man tell me last August he hoped the city would not make the report public for another six months. This is most unfair to the pub, lic. "Possibly the administration felt that holiday time was not the time to go into this gigan- tic matter. But maye they have been taking too many holi- days. "When you are serving the public, holidays should be of second consideration. Last Wednesday, Mr. Gifford said publicly that industrial ex- pansion in the city has '"'col- lapsed" over the last two years. Mayor Christine Thomas re- plied by saying "it never col- lapsed because it never got off the ground." And the Mayor questioned the location of the Industrial Park as a good place for small industries. "Well," said Mr. Gifford to- day, "I didn't hear any person on council suggesting any other location when we decided to put the services in down there. The city didn't own any land along Highway 401; we had little choice. "Also, when you have two In- ustrial Commissioners leave within 18 months, how can you expect to attract industry? "Only one industry has locat- ed here in the last two years in which negotiations didn't start during my administration. Is this progress?' Mr. Gifford promised to make public his own program for. in- dustrial expansion, "in a few days", Will Outline Trespass Act The next entertainment show of The Oshawa Fish and Game Protective Association will be on Monday, Nov. 19, at 7.30 p.m. at Simcoe Hall. Frank Walden of the Department of Lands and Forests will be guest speaker. Mr. Walden is super- visor of Field Services and will speak on Farmer-Sportsmen Re. lations and the Trespass Act. The club feels that these are two very important subjects and every one is invited to attend. There will also be movies of in- terest. The club plans entertain- ment shows once a month and a general business meeting. The membership is open to any male or female 16 years of age and up. At the last business. meeting the club affiliated with The On- tario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, they -have also taken on several conservation and education programs of visiting various groups in Oshawa and district. Wednesday, Nov. 21, the members of the club will be visiting the 20th Oshawa Scout and Cub troop. They will show color slides on wildiife and movies on conser: vation projects, During the duck banding pro- gram, at the Oshawa second Marsh the club members took an active part and in the near future they will be building Wood duck nest boxes for next year to be placed in the marsh.

A two-year suspended sent- ence was imposed on -her Nov. 2 with the condition that she could not leave her house for two years and that she could have no visitors other than close relatives. She had pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing stolen goods. However, Magistrate Isaac Rice later qualified the order by telling the court probation officer, Mrs. Nora Milne, she could use her discretion in al- lowing Mrs. Dzedzora to go shopping, go to church or visit the penitentiary, where the man with whom she was living is serving a sentence. The magistrate also told a Baptist minister he could visit Bank Builds New Branch Planned to be the "showplace of the south end of Oshawa" the new Toronto Dominion Bank building going up at Simcoe and Mill streets, will be finished in six months. Manger Ivan Irwin and his staff of 16 will move from their present location at Simcoe and St. Lawrence streets to the new building when its completed. Mr. Irwin said itie Sank's pre- sent south end location has been in use since 1928, "We're moving because of cramped quarters." he said Fri- day. The new building will be one storey with a mezzanine floor. It will have a floor measure- ment of 41 feet by 71 feet. Rotarians From London Here Sunday Some 30 members of the Lon- don, Ont. (Downtown) Rota Club will pay an inter-club visit to Oshawa this weekend. The group is headed by President Russ Waide and Hugh F. Gorrie, s -- member of the Oshawa lub. The visitors will be welcomed by the Oshawa members at Hotel Genosha shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday. During the even- ing the visitors and their hosts will curl at the Oshawa Curling Club. Following the games Gen. eral Motors of Canada Limited will be host at buffet supper. Monday morning the London Rotarians will tour the south plant of General Motors. During the noon hour they will be guests of the Oshawa club at its weekly luncheon meeting in Hotel Gen- osha. Don Sandford, a member of the GM public relations de- partment staff, will address the meeting. On their return trip bv bus to London, the visitors will pay a visit to the Crippled Children's Treatment in Toronto. The club, as is the case with the Oshawa The 67-year-old Maple Leaf Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company of Columbus will merge with the Lindsay-based Farmers' Union Mutual Fire In- surance Company Jan. 1, 1963. At eight minutes after three Friday afternoon approximate- ly 130 policyholders stood up in the Maple Leaf office to ap- prove unanimously the com- pany's amalgamation. General tone of the meeting was one of resignation, a '"'no other choice"' attitude. Said Norman Down, an Osh- awa alderman and Maple Leaf policyholder for 48 years: "I never thought I'd live to see this day. But there is nothing we can do." The company was faced with "excessive fire losses" this $200,000. A drop in renewals, estimated at over $11,000,000 (face value) compared to 1959, represented a lost $102,000 in premiums, according to Grant Christie, acting president of the company. The only humor in the situa- tion came at the end of the meeting when Mr. Christie ask- ed for a singer to lead them in "God Save The Queen". Whitby Township Reeve Heber Down countered with a suggestion that the group sing "'The Maple TY/Leaf Forever". Actually, the Maple Leaf Company had three choices as outlined in a letter from C. Richards, superintendent of the provincial Department of Insur- ance. 1, Call the premium note, 2. Go out of business 3. Amalgamate. When a policyholder signs for a policy, he also signs a note, the value of which is based on a percentage of his premium. This note may be called at any time on a decision of the Board of Directors. Maple Leaf directors didn't want to call the note. RATE INCREASE Mr. Richards noted that the company had taken steps to try to improve its position but that it might be necessary to call 10 per cent of the premium note. "The directors want to amal- gamate rather than do this," Mr. Christie told the meeting. Steps taken by Maple Leaf in- cluded a rate increase, cancel- ling "'poor risks" and "'tighten- summer.

Another director, Charles Hooper, underlined. the impor- tance of putting a $20,000 limit on insurance for any barn (ex- cluding cotents), "A few years ago we paid $80,000 on one barn claim,' he revealed, "We have been losing insur- ance in the southern municipal. ities for some years," said Mr. Hooper; "The trend is to amal- gamate, for stremth." Former Ontario County war- den Walter Beath agreed with Mr. Hooper that calling the note would be only a temporary measure, Mr, Newman said Maple Leaf Pays its agents 15 per cent as compared with 12 per cent paid by Farmers' Union. He said a five per cent premium note call would "put us even: but. the De- partment demands a surplus so we would need 10 per cent." In reply to a question, Mr, Christie conceded that the cem- pany was "at the mercy" of its agents. Mr. McFadden said the Farmers' Union has no desire to expand but "we understand your problem; we went through it in 1931. "Mutual insurance is more or less on trial and we think every effort should be made to keep it solid." A Department official present at the meeting explained the province's apparent inaction. "We wanted to give Maple Leaf every chance to make a go and we didn't want to be blamed for what someone might have call- ed 'undue government interven- tion'. "We were receiving monthly statements and right up until this June everything looked rosy. Your directors have done everything possible over the Past two years but unfortunate. ly they were a little too late."

Claims B A Haliburton County man told Oshawa Magistrate's Court Friday he was approached by a 15-year-old boy who offered to sell him his 12-year-old sister for $10.
