"T think the works department is working under an old sys- tem that isn't working," said Ald. Richard Donald. He said the city plows down- town streets and the next day merchants throw snow from the sidewalks into the gutters. He said it looked like the works department had never cleared away any snow. Ald. Donald said in certain circumstances (After major storms) the works department should clear snow from down- town sidewalks but alsc made it clear he was not advocating the city get into the sidewalk snow clearing business. He also suggested that the downtown area might be closed off a block at a time so works crews would not be hampered by traffic. The discussion began when Ald. Cecil Bint, public works chairman, told council 2,178%4 manhours including 904 hours of overtime, were spent in snow removal operations last week. He said he was opposed to clearing downtown sidewalks and said he was satisfied with the present policy. But, he sug- gested that council might like to discuss the poliay at a council in committee meeting. Mayor Lyman Gilford said all policy should originate in the standing. committees and then come to council for approval or rejection. Ald, Christine Thomas, who lives on Harris street, told coun- cil a short section of Harris street was plowed last Thurs- day night while other streets in the area were 'left untouched. She asked Ald. Bint who the driver of the plow was, why the short section was cleared and who authorized the clearing. Ald. Bint said he would investi- gate, "It looks funny doesn't it,' smiled Mayor Gifford, who said he wondered if the works de- partment was taking the policy of clearing aldermen's streets first. Ald. Hayward Murdoch told council it takes a "real diplo- mat" on the board of works telephone to hold his temper when receiving calls from tax- payers during and after snow storms. Ald. Bint said one woman usually called the department asking that her street be clear- ed immediately because her husband had to go to hospital. But, he said the woman called last week asking to have her street cleared immediate- ly because her husband had to go to a meeting in Bowman- ville. WHITBY (Staff) -- A thorough investigation into yesterday's shipboard explosion, which kill- ed*two men and seriously: in- jured another, got underway at Whitby today. Representatives from the In- dustrial Safety Board of the De- Department of Transport and the Industrial Accident Preven- tion Association were all on the scene in an attempt to discover the cause of the sudden blast.

Seriously injured in the blast was Patrick McGann, 22, of Byron street, Whitby, who was taken to Oshawa General Hospi- tal. This morning his condition was described as 'fairly satis- factory"'. The three men had just re- turned to work in the engine room of the ship after a coffee break when the blast occurred. They were work.ng with pro- pane torches thawing dirt and sand so it could be removed. The explosion blew a gaping Regional planning ts five steps closer today to reality. Five municipal councils 1> night went on record in fe, or of establishing a regional plan- ning board. A sixth, also ex- pected to favor the idea, will meet Thursday. The municipalities, Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Whitby Township, East Whitby Town- ship and Darlington Township will ask the Minister of Muni- cipal Affairs to: define their municipalities as a joint plan- ning area. "I think all the hurdles have been cleared, it's now just a question of formality," says Desmond Newman, chairman of the Regional Planning Associa- tion, which comprises the same six municipalities. The Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, the neme of the new regional planning board, will have 15 members. The Minister of Municipal Affairs is expected to approve the new planning area after a March 30 meeting of all muni- cipal councils and planning boards, said Mr. Newman. He said a member of the govern- ment department will attend the meeting. Mr. Newman said the pri- mary function of the regional board will be to integrate offi- cial plans into a master official plan. Estimated operating cost of the planning board for the first year is $35,000 which will in- clude the salary of a director of planning, a planner, a drafts- man, a secretary, a clerk, rent- al, supplies and miscellaneous expenses.

Oshawa, Whitby, East Whitby and Bowmanville councils last night approved an identically- worded 'motion requesting the Minister to define the joint plan- ning area. Whitby Township council met last night in committee and will recommend at its next regular meeting, March 8, that the mo- tion be approved. Darlington Township council meets Thurs- day.

Two men died in the blast. ivan Nichols, 33, of 697 Rhodes avenue, Toronto, and Joseph Vavasorri, 59, of 95 Albert street, Oshawa, were both killed almost instantly. It is expected that inquests will be heard into the double fatality. The bodies are lying at A chronic shortage of blood plasma in Ontario's hospitals has forced the postponement of many operations, says Robert Stroud, chairman of Oshawa's Red. Cross blood clinic. One Injured In Collision One person was slightly in- jured yesterday in a three-car collision at a Ritson road north General Motors exit. Drivers involved were Ed- ward Plewman, Gardenia court; Reginald Winfield, Wilson road south, and John W. Sears, Drew street. Mr. Plewman was treated for He adds that the need for blood donors is greater than ever before, as he called for volunteers to attend Thursday's blood clinic at St. Gregory's Auditorium. One of Oshawa's best-known clergymen, Rev. J. C. Pereyma, pastor of St. George's Ukrainian Catholic Church, will be one of the first to give blood at the monthly clinic. 'I started to give blood donations during the war," he said Monday, 'and have kept giving regularly since." "This is one of the finest ways in which we can help the sick, bruises and mino: injuries at Oshawa General Hospital but not admitted, and aid the Red Cross in doing a wonderful job."

"Last year we were given 900 bottles in the first two-month period which dropped by almost .200 this year. "T don't know what kept peo- ple away, perhaps bad weather, or people working overtime," Mr. Stroud added, "but we sure did miss them." "Our target this month is 550 bottles, and we need all types of blood," Mr. Stroud said. Mr. Stroud stated that anyone between the ages of 18 and 65 can donate blood provided they have never had jaundice since one year old, or malaria in the past year.
