The pattern of living for Oshawa residents is also as many become The change from single-family dwellings to apartment living was given a boost in 1959 when the first building in a_three- complex was built at Adelaide and Mary streets.

E. Watt, air pollution control of- ficer. "To be able to show some real results its going to take time," he said. 'We intend to go at it in a reasonable manner -- but we intend to get the job done." Dr. Watt, city supervisor of environmental sanitation, was appointed air pollution officer in June. The city's pollution control bylaw was passed by council in June and came into effect Sept. 3. An air pollution survey in Oshawa in 1959 and 1960 re- sulted in the province noting "the need for a limited pollu- tion program'"'. Dr, Watt said the two main areas of concern are the pre- vention of faulty installations, which he termed "'the number one priority', and the elimina- tion of existing sources of pol- lution. "The problem in Oshawa is mainly with the older indus- tries," said Dr. Watt. "As time goes on there will be more and more inspections and more pressure applied." WILL CO-OPERATE Dr. Watt said he believes most industries and businesses will co-operate to rectify pol- lution problems but in some cases "money may be a stickler"'.. ; Dr. Watt said he has sent copies of the bylaw to every- one who could be involved east, from Wilson to Harmony road has been completed and road markings and signs are in. Two other sections of Bond street are now open on the one- way system. A short section from Roxborough carries Bond (formerly Richmond street) down to Ritson road. Bond west, ffom Park road to Ste- venson road is also open,' one- way westbound. The section from Wilson road to Roxborough is expected to be open by the end of this week, giving motorists a one-way art- ery from the King - Riverside intersection all the way to Ritson road. MANY CONTRIBUTIONS INCREASED Total Of Chest Now At $254,761 Richard Fairthorne, Greater guests. : The southerly facing apart- % ment building will contain one- bedroom, two-bedroom and large two-bedroom units. The view for residents at the southern section of the city has been changed radically with the erection of Oxford Park Towers, a. six-storey building on Glen street. SOLID CONCRETE The developers boast that the building, first in a three-build- ing complex, is of solid concrete construction, featuring both sound and fire proof qualities. Oxford Park Towers Ltd. have begun with an 86.mit apartment block with one, two, and three- bedroom units. The developers are also plan- ning a development on Ander- avenue south of Elgin court. Oxford Park Towers was by the new 107-mit structure. Manana the pany said that the building will have an emphasis on adult liv- ing. Another first in apartment liv- ing in Oshawa will be made possible when a seven-storey structure is completed on Park road north, Georgian Mansions will be the first building in Osh- awa to feature both penthouse apartments and underground rking. The: 65-unit complex is con- structed on reinforced, concrete, column bearing. There will be 65 suites, including the two pent- house suites. Oshawa's Manhattan is spring- ing up in the Marland avenue- Grenfell street area. The Prem- ier, a five-storey, 89 suite apart- ment building was erected and opened in the spring of this year. Two other five-floor apart- ment blocks have gone up be- side the Premier giving a total of 305 suites in the three build- ings. The first block in the com- plex was opened in the autumn of 1963, The first in another three building complex was opened little more than a year ago *. . - + * i 1 sf + ° * A recently constructed five-storey apartment in Osh- awa's southwest area off Park road south is shown.

Labor council wrote to the board saying they discussed the question of the PA system being used in Donevan Collegi as a job posting medium for stu- dents and particularly in light of the fact that it was being used to recruit students for a strike-bound plant. As a result they asked the Board their policies in regard age them to leave school and not continue with their educa- tion. George Drynan, chairman, in proposing the motion said he also thought the board should {urthe™ consider the autonomy of schools in regard to the public address systems. The board agreed.

Robert Nichol, Separate School Board representative on the Board of Education, said at a Board committee meeting last night six windows, valued at about $300 each, have been. broken during the past two months at McLaughlin Col- legiate. He said other schools and firms have also had windows broken and said he felt police should increase patrols to pre- vent property damage. Board spokesman said today schools are not insured against window breakage unless it is connected with a break-in. Mr. Nichol said he wondered whether "the recent rash of resignations on the police force had resulted in inadequate pro- tection?" FULL STRENGTH "We have had eight or nine resignations during the last six months," Chief Flintoff told The Times today. "All the vacan- cies have been filled . .. we are at full strength with 85 men on the force." _ MAKE MORE MONEY Chief: Flintoff said school windows are broken every week, mainly by kids playing in school grounds after hours. He said the number of police patrols have not been reduced because of the resignations. He said the force has been short "a few men" in between police commission meetings, when new officers are hired, and when officers are attending the On- tario police college. Chief Flintoff said the men who resigned told him they were quitting the force because they didn't like shift work, want- ed weekends off and _ because they could make more money at mission secretary, said today 10 policemen have resigned from the force during 1964 and three officers have retired. She said the commission has hired 19 new officers, including two cadets, during the year. Mayor Lyman Gifford told The Times today he felt city police protection was not in- adequate. "No one is going to break a window when a car comes along," he said. Mayor Gifford said more foot patrol officers might help reduce property damage. Commenting on the resigna- tions, the mayor said Oshawa was not the only place where policemen have. resigned. He said he has heard runors that quite a few men have resigned their new jobs. Miss.E.

DR. J. E. WA' Negotiations Are Started Negotiations regarding six suspended GM employees began today between representatives of General Motors of Canada Ltd., and officials of the United Auto Workers. The six men were suspended pending investigation of a wild- cat strike Friday by more than 3,500 South Plant employees. More than 500 day shift em- ployees at the chassis plant at- tended a meeting Monday after- noon at the UAW Hall called by the union. UAW Canadian director George Burt, Local 222 President Albert Taylor, master negotiating team chairman, chairman Gordon Lambert, and William Harding, local negotiat- ing team member, all address- ed the workers. Edward O'Connor, acting president of Local 222, said that the assembly was given a re- port on the suspensions made by the company and the union's intentions in the matter. 'The union position is that the men have to be returned to work as soon as possible," Mr. O'Con- nor said. He also stated that the offi- cials stressed the need for the membership to avoid wildcat strikes or walkouts during the course of negotiations.

If the appeal board upholds the order and it is still not carried out, the offender may be prosecuted and for a first offence, fined not more than $100. On a second or subse- quent offence, the maximum fine is $300. "Each day a person con- travenes or fails to comply with any provision of this bylaw or an order of the air pollution officer, it constitutes a@ separate offence," reads ~ penalty section of the by- iw. z Incinerators in apartment buildings or schools frequently cause air pollution, said Dr. Watt. Incinerator plans for any hew installation must be approved by the pollution Officer. Dr. Watt said the health de- partment has always received complaints of people burning material outside. Under the new bylaw, he said, if the burning causes pollution of the air the people responsible can be ordered to stop the burning. Dr. Watt said the air pollu- tion branch of the Ontario de- partment of health is always willing to give assistance and advice to industry and to mu- nicipalities. He said the prov- ince is also responsible for approving possible pollution- causing equipment in new in- dustries, Until the 1965 pollution pro- gram budget is set up, Dr. Watt said he could not esti- mate the cost, but he said the program is eligible for pro- vincial grants covering 25 per cent of the cost. Dr. Watt said the city's by- law is a "starting point," because it is basic and sim- ple. In the future, he said, amendments may be required to strengthen it. "The trend is that the prov- ince and municipalities are starting to get tough in en- forcing pollution bylaws," said Dr. Watt. "In Oshawa today pollution control is not really a full time job," said Dr. Watt. "It's not that big a problem -- but it is a problem."
