eee awenene e Retires After 45 Years 'Never Late For more than 45 years, At thur Wren has helped grow. He retired Oct. 2. from the city's public works department with a record for long ser- vice. And, he was never late for work once. . "Ive had some hard times and'some rough times with the city," mused Mr. Wren. "But I've joyed my time. on, city grew, I went with Oshawa was but a town of about 10,000 inhabitants when Mr. Wren joined the works de- partment in March, 1919. He was born in England and moved to Canada in 1910. He lived in Toronto before coming to Osh- awa at the age of 25. "When I first came here I didn't think I would be staying very long, but I liked the work and here I am," said Mr. Wren. "I've enjoyed living in Oshawa. The city always treated me good." WITNESSED CHANGES Mr. Wren is now 70, having celebrated his birthday earlier this month. A small, but active man, he seemed to enjoy talk- ing about the old days and dis- cussing the many changes he has _ witnessed. The works department em- ployd only five men when he but we had to do it hard way -- the only way." One incident which Mr. Wren wishes he didn't have to re- 'member, occurred eight years ago. Mr. Wren and a fellow lworker were checking a man hole at Bloor and Simcoe streets, the night after a bad storm. Both men were struck by & car. His companion was not seriously injured but Mr. Wren suffered a broken back and a ruptured diaphragm. He survived three operations, was in a cast for six weeks, missed nine months of work and could not eat properly for two years. CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Wren was pleased and proud to receive two congratu- latory letters after he retired. One was from Mayor Lyman Gifford and members of coun- cil, commending him. for his long service record and his de- votion to duty. The second was from K. C. Cahill, director of operations} for the city. "In my short time with the city and in. my contacts with) you I am really glad to say, that the work which I knew you) to perform was well and effi- jciently done -- cheerfully and with a sense of contribution," wrote Mr. Cahill. or Work started. Now there are 176. Man-| "The city will be the poorer for the retirement of one of your calibre." Mr. Wren and his _ wife live in their home at 195 Park road south, a house he built mostly by himself 20 years ago. The land was previously an or- chard and Park road was the westerly boundary of Oshawa when he arrived in 1018. Mr. and Mrs. Wren have two married daughters living in the city and three grandchildren, To keep active, Mr. Wren takes long walks. He enjoys watching wrestling and other sports, likes the outdoors where he spent most of his working life, and. plans on _ puttering around in his garden and keep- ing busy in his workshop. "Retiring is a hard thing! to get used to," he said with a) sigh. "It's just like a new life. "But, I guess I can get used to it -- just like anybody else." COUNCIL SURREY DRIVE RESIDENT PROTEST Residents of the Surrey Drive area in north-east Oshawa came to Council Monday, night to pro- test the building of triplexes in their single family dwelling de- velopment. A. W. Howard, spokesman for the group, appealed to council for rezoning to RIB for all of Dover and Surrey drive, the land north of Digby and all the vacant land east to the creek. -- Present zoning is R2B and will take up to five-unit dwell- lings. Mr. Howard blamed misrep- resentation by three real estate firms and developer Sam Jack- son Junior. He asked council to start injunction proceedings to stop construction, pending a zon- ing hearing. "Jackson has started four triplexes without any building permits," said Mr. Howard. "He told me he didn't need them." Planning Board will study the rezoning request and it was left up to council as to whether an injunction will be sought. "Jackson is breaking our building bylaw and will be charged," Mayor Lyman Gif- ford admitted. Mr. Howard said the subdivision plan for 14 lots BRIEFS A 99-year-lease town, at $1 a year, was ap- proved Monday night as repre-| sentative of Oshawa's share in the old county courthouse.

Mrs, Hiadyish, still carrying Rap Triplexes For N.E. Area has not been approved by To- ronto officials (the Department of Municipal Affairs). He said they were amazed when told Jackson was already building four units. Mayor Gifford said founda- tions and parts of some walls were up because Jackson was trying to take advantage of good building weather. "We are protesting the erec- tion of triplex dwellings or other multiple units," said Mr. How- ard. 'If present construction is allowed, we will be in the mid- dle of a ring of multiple family units -- anything up to five- plexes. "The potential for a beautiful area is there but Mr. Jackson apparently cares nothing about that." Mr. Howard said most resi- the area if they had known any- thing but single family units could be built there. He said Mr. Jackson and rep- resentatives from three real es- tate firms 'assured us" only single family dwellings would be built in the area. Mr. Howard claimed Mr. dents would not have moved into Tax Plan Is Praised Oshawa"s year old tax gather: ing policy of earlier first pay- ment, interim billing with four installments and no more dis- counts appears to have been a success, Almost 96 percent of this. year's year's levy was in city coffers by t. 30, according to figures produced by finance committee chairman, Ald, Wal- ter Branch. Collections are up five percent over the same period for 1963 and '"'this shows the general co- operative acceptance and abil- ity of the Oshawa taxpayer to pay under the Interim Billing plan," said Ald.
