He doubt- ed the legality of transferring funds in this way; and he de- scribed the establishment of cross-walks as "a grave mis- take' and as "a pipe dream."

Norman Down said he is personally opposed to cross- walks. "We should come to the! 1965 council and have a proper discussion then." "Cross-walks are poor method," agreed Ald, Finley Dafoe. 'They lead people_to believe they have protection that isn't always there. They are hard on the motorist too." Said Ald. Brady: "Cross- Iks are to help pedestrians get across the road. We are not trying to prevent accidents. We are trying to stop them before they happen. "Figures show there are more accidents at signalled (traffic lights) intersections - than . at cross-walks,"" he said. Then council threw a recom- mendation for a cross-walk at Adelaide avenue west and Golf street to the 1965 council. a The homes of strikebreakers at a local printing plant will be picketed by members of Local 969, Oshawa Typographi- cal Union. Alan Heritage, inter- national representative of the union, asked the support of the |Oshawa and District Labor |Council Tuesday in the picket- ing. "There are 32 strikebreakers at the General Printers Ltd., and rib injuries following a fight at Hilltop Snack Bar on Highway 2, police said today. The man, James Burgess, Court street, is in satisfac- plant,' he stated, "wko live in Oshawa and are taking the jobs of our men." Some 28 typographers struck jthe plant June 8. | "We plan to picket the homes jof these people,' Mr. Heritage lsaid, 'within two. weeks. We are not prevented from doing jthis by any court injunction. "The labor movement can show what it thinks of these people, let their neighbors know who they are; in Oshawa -- a labor city," Mr. Heritage \stated. Ray Collins, a Local 222, Unit- ied Auto Workers delegate, sug- gested that 2,000 of the striking |\UAW members in Oshawa |could put a mass picket around the GP plant. "If our men threw a mass pieket round the place we could stop strikebreakers, or factory condition. A spokes- man for Oshawa General Hospital said Burgess was suffering from scalp lacera- tions. Ontario Provincial Police were called to the restau- rant when a fight broke out, but no arrests were made. A police official said: 'The man had broken ribs and some cuts. I don't know if any weapons were used." A spokesman for the Hill- | top Snack Bar said: '"There was nothing to it. The man slipped and hit his head on the corner of a table."

Labor council approved a motion of Oakley Peters, Local 969 strike chairman, that steps be taken to investigate ways and means of introducing anti- strikebreaking laws in Ontario. Mr. Peters said that a pro- fessional strike breaker, who is a U.S. citizen, has been work- ing at the Simcoe street GP plant. He stated that the man has also worked. at one of the strike-bound Toronto news- papers. Last Meeting Of 1964 Board The last regular 1964 meeting of Oshawa's Board of Education will be held next Tuesday night following a meeting of the regu- lar committees. A special meeting of the board is also planned for December 28 to receive and open tenders for an addition to R. S. Me- Laughlin Collegiate. It is not known what will be on the agenda of Tuesday's meeting but chairman George Drynan said recently that the board was "not a lame duck." All six incumbents of the pres- ent board who stood in this week's elections were returned but as four members did stand there will be big changes | when the 1965 board meets. in January. Purchases At GP Are Protested A protest against the way the McLaughlin Public Library Board is spending "the tax the Oshawa and District Labor Council meeting. Terence O'Connor moved that Use Grounds At Stadium Ontario Motor Sales has been granted use of the Kinsmen Stadium grounds to store and pre-service trucks from General Motors which have already been privately purchased, 'Mayor Lyman Gifford told council last night. Mayor Gifford said today he had received the approval of a number of aldermen, including Clifford Pilkey and John Brady, who are among the 14,500 em- ployees striking the Oshawa plant. MAY HAVE LIQUOR BAR AT SAFE DRIVERS' DINNER Decreased attendance at traffic clinics here is a major cause of concern to members of the Oshawa Safety League. J, B. Feltis, chairman of the league, said at a meet- ing Tuesday night he thinks the traffic clinic "is an ex- cellent thing but it. has slip- ped." Asked if Magistrate Harry Jermyn recommends the clinic to traffic offenders, Sgt. Norman Smyth, head of the Oshawa police depart- ment traffic squad, shook his head negatively. Mrs, Madge Lindsay, sec- retary, said that at a con- vention of the Canadian Highway Traffic Safety Council she was 'absolutely astounded at the number of clinics that have folded.' "T would like to give this a shot in the arm," said Mr. Feltis. William "'Bill" Richard- son, a representative of the Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce, volunteered to assist Sgt. Smyth in publici- zing the clinics in an attempt to revive interest, MAY HAVE BAR For the first time in the history of the Oshawa Safety League's annual "safe - drivers'"' dinner a liquor bar may be included. Mr. Feltis said he. had received "overtones" from some of the companies in- King East Sector 1-Way Now City Council moved Tuesday night to make a portion of King street east one-way to avoid col- lisions and confusion. Council backed the recom- mendation brought in by. Traf- fic Committee chairman Ald. John Brady. The one-way eastbound area on King is between Wilson road and a point 195 yards east of Riverside drive. "We are afraid of collisions and we think we can eliminate confusion by making this leg one-way right now," said Ald. Brady. Bond street is now one-way westbound from the east-end entry (traffic island) west to Ritson road. Mayor Lyman Gifford, who said he had opposed making the change at this time, agreed last night the danger of auto acci- dents is great. Robert Richardson, city. traf- fic engineer, said motorists are using this stretch of road as a one-way street even though it isn't which presents a danger to! the few motorists who are west- bound. He said about the only people using this portion westbound are the people who live on King street. The traffic coming west is directed to Bond street at Harmony road, he said. Crime Rate Said Low Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck/ Tuesday told members of the Ontario County Law Association and their wives that Mississippi was the victim of "distorted press coverage"'. He said statistics reveal that Mississippi has the lowest crime rate of any state in the U.S.; NO CHANGE IN MONDAY'S ELECTION These are the final, official Standings in the Oshawa Civic Elections. There is little or no change in final vote totals, and no change in the final stand- ings. Returning Officer Roy Barrand released these figures late Tues- day afternoon, No recounts have been called.

A may- oralty race. may have _in- creased the total by 10 per cent, but even that would not have been a good turn- out."

Cliff Pilkey in council Tuesday night. ' "This is a free enterprise sys- tem?" he asked. 'I thought they were supposed to be com- petitive: ; Y "We should. set up a commit- tee and find out the-answer to this nonsense." Council accepted the tender from Fledco Concrete Pipe Lim- ited of Ajax. Other tenders, with identical prices of $14,611.51, were from Bestpipe , Interest Lags In City Traffic Clinic volved to have a bar at the dinner, which will be held next spring. ' Mrs. A. K. Love said: "It appears that they have to have a bar at everything they have. It seems to be a trend of the times." WHY DISCRIMINATE? - Sgt. Smyth said he thought a. bar would be all right as long as it was restricted to a 'hospital- ity hour" and cut off before dinner and not re-opened. Mr. Feltis said: "I personally "al see too much wrong with "We wouldn't have .it open long enough for anybody: to get loeaded," said Sgt. Smyth. Although no plans were finali- zed for the dinner, Mr. Feltis said "if we start work on the dinner now and finalize plans in January. we won't run into problems in March or April whenever we have it." ACCIDENTS Mr. Feltis said he was: dis- turbed with the city's accident rate which he said is growing "in'leaps and bounds." "Next year we'll be going into a one-way street and cross- walk system," he said. "We have a tremendous job ahead of us to educate the people. Osh- awa is growing faster than Metropolitan Toronto," Sgt. Smyth noted that the population of Oshawa has in- creased by 4,000 this year. He said one only has to, look at the rising cost of insurance rates to see the increasing num- ber of traffic accidents. Sgt. Smyth said motor vehicle in- surance will increase by 21 per cent next year. PLAYING SAFELY Sgt. Smyth brought it to the league's attention of the num- ber of children who play hockey on city streets in the winter. "The modern parent doesn't bring: up his child -- there is always some organization to do it for them." Mrs. Love said she knew of cases where parents locked their children out of the house during the day. . Sgt. Smyth said that 25.or 30 years ago it was ea rare thing to hear of a child charged as an incorrigible and sent to a train: "But this is an every-day oc- curence now," he said, Mr. Feltis said he believes in the phrase "spare the rod ted,| spoil the child.'" Kitchener, and Concrete Pipe NO ELMER? and Schultz Conerete Pipe Lim- ited, both of Toronto. "This is becoming repetitive," complained Ald. Pilkey. The city has. had identical tenders on pipe from the same four com- panies before and council has al- ways given the nod to Fledco. A man in attendance at the meeting, who identified himself as Stanley Potts from one of the tendering companies, told council the prices are "'govern- ment approved list prices'. Public Works Chairman Cecil Bint said the city's purchasing agent told him there is nothing the city can do. 'Companies have a right to quote list prices," said Ald. Bint. Ald. Finley Dafoe, a former building contractor, wondered how a company more than 100 miles from here can compete with a firm "just a few miles from here'. "Surely there should be some variance in price, even if it is just for hauling the pipe here," he said. NAME UNCHANGED Although the U.S. rocket site became Cape Kennedy, the nearby towvsite, because of res- idents' wishes, remained as Cape Canaveral. Elmer the safety elephant may be missing from schools where an accident has occurred. Constable William Tane; school safety officer of the Osh- awa 'police department, pre: sentefl the idea of a differently coloréd flag without Elmer's picture on it to remind the children an accident had oc- curred. SAFETY WARNING Oshawa Safety League has decided to take advantage of a free offer from the traffic safety branch of the Ontario depart- ment,of highways, Posters are available for in- dustries displaying a shock slo- gan, "'Somebody needs you. Be careful in traffic." Also avail+ able are coasters, bookmarks placemats and calendars.
