The program was reduced last winter in its duration from seven and one-half months to six months, but in spite of this reduction in time it proved to be a good program and benefi- cial to municipalities as well) as to those who were employed during the winter months. The federal government pays 50 per cent of the labor costs of this program, and 60 per cent where work is performed in municipalities located in desig- nated areas and areas of high winter unemployment. For the coming winter federal payments will apply to work performed on authorized pro- ~ from Nov. 1, 1964 to April , 1965. AIDS UNEMPLOYMENT An addition to the regulations of the program has been made to assist municipalities in the designated areas and areas of high winter unemployment. An| extension of time for comple- tion of individual projects may be granted into the month of May where a discontinuance of work becomes necessary, by reason of severe temperature or heavy snowfall. This extension will only apply ona project which requires at least five months to reach com- pletion, where work was com- menced during the month of November and where operat- tions were carried on continu- ously except when prevented due to severe weather condi- Japanese Auto Plant Mooted HALIFAX (CP)--The Chroni- cle-Herald says Canadian and Japanese business interests are negotiating for the possible es-| tablishment of an automobile! plant in Cape Breton The newspaper says in al copyright story from Ottawa! that federal government offi-| cials consider the chances of agreement "'extremely good." report says the former naval base at Point 'Edward, near Sydney, is among sites be- tions. To qualify for this exten- sion, the forced cessation of work must be of at least two weeks duration and the period of the extension into the month of May will be relative to the period of time during which the project was forced to close down. In tio case will an exten- sion be granted beyond May 31. In all other respects the terms of the program for the coming winter will remain: the same as those that were in ef- fect during the winter of 1963- 64. HOME BUILDING Another program which was introduced last winter is the Winter House Building Incentive Program. This program was in- troduced on an experimental basis and proved to be success- ful. As a result, it will be con- |tinued during the coming 1964- 1/65 season. The program provi- | des for the payment of an incen- |tive of $500 to the first pur- |chaser or owner of a house jsubstantially built during the | period from Nov. -15, 1964 to March 31, 1965, inclusive. This incentive is payable in respect of single detached dwellings and multiple dwelling unit structures, 'containing not more than four self-contained units, built solely for year-round residential use.

Irene Bryk, 20, of Cooksville accused Roma McKinnon of Varcoes road, Bowmanville, of punching and kicking her and pulling her hair. The court upheld this accusa- tion, and set the matter over two weeks for sentence. She was ordered to pay Miss Bryk's costs, Linda: Knight, 21, of 322 Jack- son street, was convicted of the assault of Marsha Lucoe, 18, of Toronto, and for the wilful damage to a 1964 car owned by Ernest Hanewich, of Courtice. Her sentence was also set over. Similar charges against Iris Grieve, 19, of 107 Thomas street, Oshawa, were dropped for lac of evidence, ' AT BRIDAL SHOWER Miss Bryk was in Oshawa for a bridal shower, she said, and had gone to the dance with three boys and four other girls. They were dressed in suits and dresses. (Slacks are dance for- mat at the club.) : Following a dance, she said, Miss McKinnon liad walked up to her and asked: "Think you're pretty smart?" When she questioned this query, the alleged reply was: "Come on outside, and I'll show you how smart you are." "I told the manager that this girl was trying to pick a fight with me, and he just said: 'I can't do anything about it'." They decided to leave, and Budgetary Surplus Reported OTTAWA (CP) -- After six months of the current fiscal year the federal government is almost $500,000,000 better off than at the same point last year. Finance Minister Gordon re- ported Friday night a budget- ary. surplus of $396,900,000 for the period April 1 to Sept. 30, compared with a deficit of $96,- 400,000 a year earlier. If this continues, Mr. Gordon may be close to a balanced bud- get. Last March he forecast a $455,000,000 deficit but has said subsequently that it will be "substantially less." _ The improvement lies in ris- ing tax and non-tax revenues, They are 21 - per - cent higher than in the first half of the last fiscal year. Expenditures have -- by less than four per cent. GIVES COMPARISON Here is a comparison of bud- getary operations in the first half of the current fiscal year, compared with the first half of the previous one: Expenditures increased to $3,- 095,400,000. from $2,978,700,000.. Revenues rose to $3,492,300,- |000 from $2,882,300,000. Personal income tax revenues at $1,066,200,000 were 17.3 per cent higher than $908,600,000 a year earlier, Corporation income tax reve- hues advanced 25.3 per cent to $800,500,000 from $638,700,000.

She said Miss McKinnon pulled her hair out, kicked her and punched her. Gary Hanewich, 18, of Cour- tice, confirmed this. TOLD TO LEAVE "The manager," he said, "thought there was going to be a fight, so he told us to leave." "We were forced to leave by the manager," said Helen Hane- wich, 15, She also confirmed the attack on Miss Bryk. Miss McKinnon swore that the incident began when she spied Miss Bryk "dancing by herself in front of the stage". "I wanted to help her out, be- cause everyone was laughing at her and she looked foolish," she said. She said Miss Bryk ignored her, and actually pushed her, nudged her and stepped on her feet, and used foul language. The fight started outside, she claimed, after Miss Bryk had swung back and hit her in the mouth, She admitted one retal- iatory blow, a punch in the face. Prior to the battle, she said, Ted Large (function not estab- lished) came up to her and said: "We have a good dance here. Why cause trouble?" KICKED IN STOMACH The outside incident termin- ated, Miss Lucoe said, when the visitors ran to their car in the parking lot. Just prior to that, she said, she was punched, kick- ed in the stomach, hurled to the road and had her hair pulled by Miss Knight. Helen Hanewoch, Eddie Hane- wich, 17, of Courtice, and Brenda Norris, 15, of Toronto testified that a large group sur- rounded the Hanewich _ car, which wouldn't start, and kicked it, scratched it, and tore off a chunk of chrome, Miss Knight was indetified as the one holding the chrome. Damage to the car was $129.36, but His Worship found Miss Knight responsible for less than Camera Club Studies Nature The bitterness in nature's survival-of-the fittest was shown at a recent meeting of the Oshawa Camera Club. Guest speaker Jack Austin, of Wooller, holder of a four-star rating in the Photographic So- ciety of America, displayed the colored slides of wildlife that thas made him well known in in- ternational salons. Using sim- ple equipment and great pa- tience he obtains a wide variety of 'out of the way shots. Stark realism, bringing home the cruelty of nature, is found in many of his pictures. A tiny wren was seen busy feeding a huge baby cowbird in her nest, a practice which often brings neglect and starva- tion to the young of the fos- ter mother. There was a shot of the in- creasingly scarce bluebird which are vanishing because of the spraying of roadsides, and fences for the old rail fences been their home. The defensive actions of the cuckoo,-who scatters her eggs and tears up her nest if she feels her haven has been ob- served, was captured on one of the slides. A different action was seen in the shot of a Kildeer affect- ing a broken wing and trying to lure the intruder away fro! the nest. One peculiar picture showed an English sparrow feeding a nestful of Baltimore Orioles while their parents looked on, acting perhaps,'the part of a bereaved mother. All part of the scene, Mr. Aus- tin said, that can be captured by the photographer that is pre- pared to go out and get it.

IMPROPER MANAGEMENT "It was a pure case of im- proper management, The person in charge of this dance did noth- ing to prevent the fight." He said that he wou'd person- ally 'go before the police com- mission to deal with the "'re- viewing" of the Club Hideaway licence. "We have enough evidence here to close this place down tight," Magistrate Jermyn agreed. "I feel a motion from this court to that effect would be in order." "We cannot lay all the blame for this incident on the doorstep of these girls (Miss McKinnon, Miss Knight)," Mr. Affleck stressed, "'but also, and mainly on the man who refused aid." "It is time to look into the whole problem of these places," His Worship concluded. "I am not against dancing, but I am Public Housing Record Flayed LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- Post- master-General Nicholson said Friday Canada's record in pub- lic housing construction is a "deplorable statistic' but re- cent government legislation should bring improvement. Speaking at the general meet- ing of the Urban Development for housing, said: "... It is a sobering thought that in the last 15 years we have only built 12,000 public housing units in all of Canada-- a figure which works out to .7 per cent of the total addition' to our housing stock. "What a deplorable statistic. In terms of human experience, it means that nearly 500,000 Ca- nadian families are still living in substandard accommodation. And-in the light of today's afflu- ence and technology, I find this a humbling fact."
