The raid took place sometime before 2.30 a.m. at the firm's Court street premises. Late this morning neither truck nor safe had been recov- ered by police. Entry into the building was gained by forcing a back door fo the office. An adding ma- chine and a number of- screw- drivers were also taken by the raiders, The safé contained a small amount of money. The missing truck is a three- quarter-ton pick-up painted red and yellow with the firm's in- signia on the doors. The safe raid was the second in two nights.

Twenty-six lots are planned between the road and the school property.

Mixed Housing Shown Board The first mixed' housing de- velopment plan in the city was shown last night to members of the Oshawa Planning Board. "The plan has a lot of ad- vantages,' ' said G. A, Wand- less, planning director. '"'It gives a complete neighborhood and I think it's a step in the right direction." The proposed subdivision, south of Rossland road, between Thornton and Stevenson roads, includes single and multiple- family dwellings, terraces houses (a form of row housing), apartment buildings, parkland, a commercial area and school "B' Night A special meeting of Oshawa board of education has been called for tonight to discuss this year's budget which will be brought in by the board's fi- nance committee. Trustees sweated through a seven-hour meeting Monday night boiling down the proposed budget in the hope that it will be ready for city council's rati- fication Saturday. Last year the board submitted a budget totalling $3,942,000, an increase of $434,320 -ver 1963. Tenders will also be opened at tonight's meeting for the pro- posed new Grandview Public School. Consent Move Is Opposed The transfer of power to grant ts, from planni boards to committees of ad- justment, was opposed last night by members of the Osh- awa Planning Board. The board will recommend to city counci] that it request the Ontario government to re- scind an amendment to the Planning Act transferring the consent power to committees of adjustment. J. W. Spooner, Minister of Municipal Affairs, announced last month that on May 3, the power to approve sale, long term lease and mortgage of land under municipal sub- division control will switch to committees. G. A. Wandless, planning di- rector, said the committee of adjustment budget this year will increase by more than $1,000, one-third of the total budget, because of the change. He said the planning board department's work will be in- creased as it will have to pre- pare reports and maps for every consent application and send them to the committee of adjustment. He said planning boards are primarily interested in subdivi- sions of land (consents are one form of subdivision) because they could affect overall street patterns and orderly develop- ment.

Re NDP Lacking Confidence, Spreading Rumors: Starr "Fully intend To Run Again" OTTAWA (Special) -- New Democratic Party attempts to spread rumors to try and create dissension in the Conservative party were criticized yesterday by Michael Starr, Ontario rid- ing member of parliament. Mr, Starr emphatically de- nied that he has any intention of stepping out of federal politics. Commenting on a statement by Tom Edwards, a former provincial NDP candidate, at an Oshawa and District Labor Council meeting, Mr. Starr said the suggestion he would not run in the next federal elec- tion is most untrue. "T fully intend to run again," said Mr. Starr. "Statements like this from Mr. Edwards are simply a device of the New Democrats to spread rumors and try to create dissension in our party. ; "When they resort to tactics like this, it clearly shows they haven't too much confidence in their own chances in Ontario riding." Mr. Starr, former Minister of Labor, is now Conservative cau- cus chairman, regarded as a successor to Gordon Churchill as his party's house leader, and occupies the front bench seat adjacent to party leader John Diefenbaker. Recently a Toronto news- magazine suggested he might be one of the leading candi- dates for the party leadership when Mr. Diefenbaker steps down. Asked to comment on this, Mr. Starr simply said he found it "an interesting obser- vation." Mr. Starr said that no date has been set for a Conservative nomination convention for On- tario riding. He said with a sitting member it was a normal procedure not to nominate until after an election had been call- ed. He said as far as he knows Late this morning fire offi- cials were still trying to locate eriaive eile te ptr J to his re-nomination. Bus Battle On Again? The battle for the bus has been rejoined. A special meeting of the par- ents of pupils of Sunset Heights School agitating for school transportation has been called for 8 p.m. today to discuss the solution offered by the Public Utilities Commission Tuesday. Officials agreed to re-route one of the five city buses, now trans- porting students to school, to the Taunton road area to pick up the students bound for Sunset Heights. sites home? Or has the day of wood- chopping and wate~ drawing in return for the weekly nickel gone forever? The Oshawa Times recently polled some Oshawa parents asking how the modern allow- ance system and chore schedule is drawn up. Mrs D. K. Stiles, of Grierson street, tries to teach her three daughters the value of money. "We try to limit their spend- ing,"' she said, "'but don't really have a firm policy." Mrs. Stiles explained that Ann, 17. and the 14-year-old twins, Marjorie and Lorraine, all students at O'Neill'. CVI, were each given $1 a week to cover incidental expenses. "They look after their rooms, do their own ironing and take turns at washing the dishes and other chores,"' she stated. 'But we don't dock their money if they fall down on the job." Babysitting jobs brought a few extra dollars to the girls which was saved Mrs, Stiles said, and used for buying clothes. "I may want to buy a $20 coat for one model, her savings make up the difference. "{ don't think it is fair to give teenagers too much money," Mrs. Stiles said. 'We adults don't have all that much money to spend on ourselves so why should a teenager be start- ed off with a full pocket book!" One 17-year-old, Mac Swack- hammer, gets a $5 weekly al- lowance -- which isn't always enough Mac. son of Rev. and Mrs. N. F, Swackhammer, says: "It isn't very much when you have to pay for two at the weekend dances and shows. Besides that I have to think ot school sup- plies, church offering, records and other things. "Lots of fellows | know get a bit more; $5 is about average, I think" When asked what he did at home Mac said: 'Just be here. I have got school, homework, and am kept pretty busy. Oh, [ shovel snow and mow the. lawns when they need to be done but there are no specific chores for me," not have time for housework and chores is Mimi Wiatrzyk, of Sun Valley court. The 16-year-old Donevan CVI student is kept pretty busy with school and outside activities. Mrs. Leon. Wiatrzyk said: "Mimi gets about $1 per week for her expenses but I don't ask her to do too much at home. She leads the second violins in the Oshawa Symphony Orches- tra and that, with homework and other school activities real- ly takes up a lot of her time." Teenagers should have a cer- tain duty: towards the home, says Mrs. Margaret. Wilson, of Aberdeen street, but they should not de regimented. "My son, Bob, gets $4 per week but [ certainly don't hold him to any work schedule for that," she added "The children in the collegiate schools have a long and hard day," said Mrs. Wilson, 'and it is not fair to them to have a list of chores for their home- coming " 30b is a Grade 12 stu- dent at O'Neill CVI. Anything that Bob earns goes Wilson, "and he buys his lunch with his allowance money. It is a lot less than some of the chil- dren gef."' "You can't buy or push teen- agers into doing things," she added. "They like to be appre- ciated for what they do, like all of us" Mrs. C. A. Prosser, of Mary street, doesn't believe in allow- ances for her seven children. The Prossers have three girls and four boys, the oldest is 12 years old "If I started allowances it could really mount up," said Mrs. Prosser, "so I just give them some money as they need it They need money for bus fares .when they go skating at the new auditorium, more money for bus fares if they go to 'he library, scouts, girl guides and brownies money, and of course their Sunday School money. "T don't believe in giving chil- dren. money to spend. Besides with only. four of school age what would they want to spend money on?" ~~ Baritone Ross Cotton tests his singing voice in prepara- tion for Friday night's On- tario Regiment Band "Pop" panist is Eleanor Wescott. concert at McLaughlin Col- legiate and Vocational Insti- tute 'auditorium.
