A building permit was denied Carl Marco, who had bought two properties in the township in 1957 and 1958, He had built upon the first parcel and at the last meeting of the planning board, requested a consent to divide the other parcel. Because Mr. Marco refused to pay the fee, a consent was not granted. Reeve Laycox said that he believed Mr. Marco was going to take the matter to the courts. - A number of meetings were held earlier this year with both council and planning board, which resulted in an agreement among members of both bodies, that the fee was collectible. Th planning board was re- quested to set a definite policy for extraction of the fee, and at a. joint meeting of the board and council in' May it was determin- ed that the fee collected be used for capital school expenses that are not under the provincial grant structure, and be used in the area from which the fee is collected. POLICY SUBMITTED *The basi¢ policy was submit- téd to council by the planning board at Monday's meeting -- ahd was, generally, that where the creation of a new parcel is for industrial, commercial or agricultural purposes, no fee is levied; where it is for residen- tial building purposes, the fee is charged. If a building exists on the parcel that is separated, or if it is for the purpose of re-align- ment of lot lines or to increase lot sizes, no fee is charged, In the latter instance the land must be incorporated into one owner- ship, and any further residential building would require a further consent of the board. QUESTION CLAUSE Councillors questioned one clause in the policy which said that if land was divided with Beating The Heat Bowmanville (Staff) -- How does one beat the heat? William Stacey, Carlisle street dresses as comfortably as pos- sible. "I wear shorts, light shirts, and don't exert myself to much. Another thing I do is go for a swim as often as pos- sible." Gordon Britton, Pontypool, keeps in the shade as much as possible. Harold Gordon, RR 4 Bow- manville, stays out ofthe sun and keeps in the shade. If that doesn't work he says he takes lots of cold showers. Barbara Dunn, Centre street, just turns on the air conditioner. Three people who were asked gave novel ideas but wouldn't give their names. "T get some ice and sit it in front of a fan," one said. An- other said he takes off his clothes and lies on top of a bed. The last said he sits and drinks cool beer." the likelihood that there' would one day be a residence, but the existing land use is commrcial, industrial or agricultural, a de- ferred fee, payable prior to the issuance of any residential build- ing permit is levied and the con- dition included within the en- dorsed deeds prior to registra- tion. Planning Dirctor J. Faulkner was asked if this clause had been used in the past, and he said that he knew of at least three instances. "To set up a policy that can be carried out is what I am con. cerned about," said Councillor Hubert Wank. "Will this lead to complications in 10 years? How many lots will there be on this basis? Will there be $500 for one to pay and not another ?" "If we had 5,000 of these appli- cations," continued the council- lor, 'all must be treated the same." The policy was returned to the board for study of the clause which disturbed the councillors. INCREASE STAFF Mr. Faulkner requested authorization to engage a draughtsman in his department, explaining that he and one sec- retary were attempting to do this type of work in the midst of other duties, and had reached the point where they needd assistance. Councillor Harvey Spang asked that the new employee be hired locally if possible, and the planning director agreed that he would prefer someone who re- sided in and was familiar with the township. A resolution was passed unani- mously that a draughtsman be advertised for, to commence duty on September 1, at a salary of $4,500 per annum. In magistrate's court here Thursday, Kenneth Mackie, 16, and Louis Jackson, 17, pleaded} guilty to a charge of wilful dam- age. After hearing evidence, Magistrate Harry Jermyn struck their guilty plea from the record and adjourned the case sine die. The magistrate said he did not want to leave the youths 4|with the stigma of a criminal record. The case can be brought before the court again at any time in the future. Pickering Township Police Constable Glover Hutchinson "|told the court the two youths went to the cottage of Edward evidenge he introduced -- the charred flag and rope. Constable Hutchinson said Mackie had told him he pre- ferred the maple leaf flag de- sign over the Ensign. A Union Jack at one of the cottages was not touched because it was the British flag. The officer said the youths now regret their actions, Resti- tution, he said, has been made. He added that it was a "spur of the moment" thing. Magistrate Jermyn told the youths he could not understand that they could get so neurotic as to lose their respect for other people's rights, even if they did not like the flag. He said their actions were "utter foolishness." IMPAIRED DRIVING Arthur B. Meighen, Toronto, Staley, Maple avenue, lowered 4\the flag and set it on fire. As who recently had his licence suspended for two years, was AJAX (Staff) -- John Charles Flynn of Pickering Twnship was fined $200 by Magistrate Harry Jermyn in magistrate's court here Thursday when he was found guilty of consuming liquor while on the interdicted list. Pickering Township Police Constable Donald Martin testi- fied that he had visited a two- room cabin which Flynn oc- cupies at the intersection of Stuck Pedal Is Blamed For Accident AJAX (Staff) -- A stuck ac- celerator pedal was blamed in magistrate's court here Thurs- day for a $500 damage acci- dent on July 2. A charge f careless driving against Edward J. Boothe, 71 Hurley road, Ajax, was dis- missed by Magistrate Harry Jermyn, who ruled that it was the type of thing which could happen to anyone Boothe explained that as he was coming into Ajax, driving east on the Base Line, his ac- celerator pedal became stuck. He said when he tried to pry it up with his toe, his hee) got stuck between the brake and accelerator pedals, Boothe said he was looking at the floor when the accident occurred. Maynard Omar of Scarbor- ough, driver of the other caz, testified that he saw the ap- proaching car (Boothe's) come over the centre line of the road. Omar said the Boothe ccar struck his auto even though he had pulled over to the north He said the driver of the other car was apparently look- ing down at the floor. Damage to the Omar car was $380. Ajax police constable Eric Township Man Fined $200 On Liquor Charge Highhway 2 and Liverpool road it 11 p.m. on July 17 . Martin told the court he had observed Flynn with a beer be- tween his feet when he came in and that the accused hac picked up the bottle and hid it in a dark corner of an adjoining room when he noticed the con- stable's presence. Martin stated that Flynn smelled strongly of alcohol. his eyes were glassy and he talked to himself constantly, AT CLINIC Flynn told the court he had just attended the Brown Clinic at Mimico for his alc »hol prob- lem and that he had not been drinking since he left there. He said he had been taxing feena- barb and pensitol (mild barbi- tuates) which made !t difficult for him to drink. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck said that since the ac- cused weighed only 110 pounds he could certainly not be con- sidered a 'heavy" drinker. Flynn also mentioned to the court that there had been quite a bit of drinking going on at the cabin which might account for the smell of alcohol on his breath, He said that just be- cause he appeared to be intoxi- cated the officer has assumed he had been drinking. Magistrate Jermyn convicted Flynn, who was put on the in- terdicted list last August. A sec ture was withdrawn. Red Ensign Burned By Leaf Supporters given an additional year's sus- pension and fined $100 when he pleaded ty to an impaired ---- el $c Frederick Abthorpe of Picker- ing Village told the court that at about 6 p.m. on May 26 he was traveiling east on High- way 2 from Pickering Village when he observed a man stag- ger from a village phone boot to his car. He said the car which he fol- lowed swayed from the curb to} the centre line of the road from' the village to Harwood avenue : ere he forced an OPP cruiser win almost off the road. Constable Goodwin stated that when he was almost fo! 'off the road he followed the ve- hicle to the Redwing Apple Orchards where he stopped it. TUMBLED Goodwin said that when he asked the accused to alight from his car he stumbled and almost fell. He said Meighen had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath and told him he was go- ing to Toronto. He said Meighen was the drunkest man he had ever seen, Pickering Township Police Sergeant B, Box testified that en by Constable Ray Good-|. a You can be the proud own- er. of this fine piece of horse- flech -- well, plaster, actually -- for only 55 pds. at Lon- ONLY 55 QUID don's Dodo Shop, On the right, a distinguished ancestor who may have fought in the Cri- mean War.

Sergeant Box told the court that Meighen was a patient at the Alcoholic Research Centre in Toronto. Magistrate Jermyn reduced the drunken driving charge to one of impaired and found the accused guilty. TRAFFIC LIGHTS A confusing traffic light sys- tem at the intersection of Har- wood avenue and the 401 east- bound turn-off in Ajax brought a dismissal of a disobeying sign charge. Norman Eade, 1425 Evange- line drive, Oshawa, had the charge dismissed when Magis- trate Jermyn stated that he had.observed the traffic signais at the intersection that morn- ing and that they were very confusing. Eade was charged after an accident on May 23 causing over $300 in damages to two vehicles, Magistrate Jermyn suggested that Sergeant Wil- liam Shaw of the Ajax police department look into the light system. A Montreal man was fined $25 and cost when he pleaded guilty to careless driving.

TO HIGH COMMISSIONER'S WIFE Protocol Not Frightening "TORONTO (CP) -- Diplo- matic protocol doesn't frighten Mrs. Roland Michener, wife of Ganada's new high commis- sioner to India. For one thing she'has reduced the awesome-sounding words to practical terms She defines protocol simply as "good man- ners, good sense and a Consid- efation for others." *Those who know Norah Mich- ener agree she has all three. ~But that isn't all in her MRS. MICHNER -- WITH GRANDDAUGHTER favor, She is already an expert on such diplomatic essentials as how to give a dinner party. For a number of years she wrote a column on food and entertain- ment for Canadian Homes and Gardens magazine, And when her husband was Speaker of the House of Com- mons in Ottawa, Mrs. Michener wrote a handbook for parlia- mentary wives détailing the customs and manners of life in official Ottawa. Mr. Michener, 64 - year - old Toronto lawyer and native of Lacombe, Alta., who spent 10 years in Parliament as a Pro- gressive Conservative MP was jniamed to the New Delhi ap- pointment early in July. He and his wife will leave for India in August where he'll succeed Chester Ronning. VISITED IN 1954 It won't be their first time in India. They have fond memo- ries of a trip they took 10 years ago. "We have many Indian friends we'll see again," Mrs. Michener says. A native of Manitoba who grew up in Vancouver, the fer- mer Norah Willis has a PhD in philosophy from the University of Toronto, a rare accomplish- ment for a woman. She is also the author of a book on philos- ophy, Maritain, on the Nature of Man in a Christian Democ- racy. She is particularly looking forward to renewing her ac- quaintance with Indian Presi- dent Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who is also a philosopher as well as a statesman. When the Micheners were in New Delhi they were house guests of Escott Reid, then high commissioner, and his wife. So Mrs. Michener knows the house she'll be iiying in. In fact, she has already decided they'li oc- cupy the bedroom, with a bal- cony, they had during the visit. Although the high commis- sioner's residence is basicaily furnished by the government, " Mrs, Michener plans. to take some things her own--table ornaments, Fo er pheasants, Florentine Cocks and jade doves, a set of dishes and silver plates, "and lots of books; I just couldn't live anywhere without my books." She'll also take family pic- tures--of her daughters, Mrs. Ronald Rohr (an artist and sculptor whose husband is head of the history department at Brown University, Providence, R.1.), Mrs. Leslie Lawrence (CBC public affairs producer), Mrs. Roy Schatz (a biochemist east of Bailieboro.

The ceremony is being ar- ranged by the Parish of Cavan and the Rector, the Reverend William Harpur will act as pro- gram chairman. The plaque is one of a series being erected throughout the province by the department of tourism and information, acting on the advice of the Archaeo- logical and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. Mr. Scriven, internationally known for his verses used in the famous hymn 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus", was born in 1819 in Ireland, In the 1850's he moved to the Port Hope area, and shortly. after- wards was engaged by a retired British naval officer, Captain Robert L, Pengelley, as tutor to the Pengelley family. 5 WELL KNOWN Captain Pengelley had ac- Plaque Commemorating Rrea Poet To Be Erected ired a tract of Jand in South onaghan Township on the shores of Rice Lake and Scriven became well known throughout the area for his preaching to the local settlers and his chari- table work among the needy. Scriven died in 1886 and was in- terred in the Pengelley burying ground. In response to a public appeal in 1920, funds were collected by a committee in Millbrook so that a suitable monument might be erected on his grave. This monu- ment, a granite shaft 16 feet in height, was installed on May 24, 1920. Among those who are expect- ed to take part in the 3 p.m. ceremony are: V. B.

Elite guards at Auschwitz concentra- tion camp in Poland often took part in the educational activities of child prisoners before killing them, a witness from Israel tes- tified Thursday at West Ger- many's largest war crimes trial. Otto Dow Kulka told the court trying 20 former guards and functionaries that "even the most primitive SS men took part in the children's cultural activi- ties before murdering them in cold blood." Kulka, a 31-year-old professor of history at Jerusalem Univer- sity, was telling of his experi- ences as a child prisoner in Auschwitz. Kulka, who wen! from the Resianstadt concentra- tion camp to Auschwitz when he was 10, said he arrived in the Nazi death camp with 5,000 other Czech Jews, including his mother, "We children were thrown into a makeshift school where we were organized into a cham- ber orchestra and an opera company. The SS guards who furnished us the instruments made us perform for them every evening -- every evening until thy gassed all 5,000, my mother included." By WILLIAM GASSON JAKARTA (Reuters) -- Indo- nesians, who are already facing a shortage of schoolbooks, have taken to burning those printed in the West because they might 'poison'? the minds of students. The first batch of 500° was burned recently in a_ coffin- shaped box, More are to follow, according to officials of the Crush Malaysia Committee who are entrusted with the task. The books and magazines in question were said to harbor "liberal" thought in political science, and to expound eco- nomic principles which did not comply with Indonesia's own "guided economy." - They included United States news magazines, Louis Fis- cher's The Story of Indonesia and textbooks in English, Ger- man and Dutch. The burning, Indonesians claimed, was part of a move- ment to 'crush the influence of at Toronto General Hospital), the old established forces in the j and of her four granddaughters. field of education." In its place, officials hope to build a new educational system to support the state's ideology. SUKARNG =XPLAINS What needs to be. destroyed, President Sukarno says, is "textbook thinking." Students and lecturers have been told education should be aimed at realizing the goals of the revo- lution, Education officials hav criti- cized university lecturers who still think they should be per- mitted to air their own views on various subjects. Officials feared these opinions might clash with the country's politi- cal manifesto. Dr. Ali Sastroamidjojo, vice- chairman of the Provisional People's Consultative Assem- bly, said in a recent lecture that whatever was taught in a university should be dedicated to the cause of the revolution, About 50 Americans teach sci- ence, engineering, mdicin and schools and universities at pres- Indonesians Say U.S. Books Poisoning Students Minds tween Indonesian and America uiversities, One of Indonesia's greatest achievements since gaining in- dependence has been its pro- gress in literacy. Young volun- teer teachers still travel to re- mote regions in what are de- scribed as "anti-illeteracy cam- paigns."' Thojib Hadiwidjaja, minister for higher education and sci- ence, said recently Indonesia had 28 state and 155 private ufi- versities. But with this emphasis on education, Indonesia faces a Shortage of teachers, school buildings and textbooks, Observers here think Indone- sia will soon have to face an- other problem: That of a dissa- tisfied intelligensia resenting at- tempts to restrict their thinking. Coupled with burning books is a boycott on "imperialist" films, particularly American films, which are alleged to undermine Indonesian and 'Afro-Asian men- ent. There are also links be- tality.
