Michael Starr, Ontario riding |member of parliament and Dr. Claude Vipond, Ontario riding Liberal candidate both said yes- terday they would seek election in the new Oshawa riding. The NDP has not yet selected a can- didate. "The NDP proved. in their re- cent Waterloo South byelection win that they can also win seats in more rural areas and they have every intention of strongly contesting the new rid- ing of Ontario as well," said Mr. Hyman. The NDP president also said the redistribution proposals for Ontario "make the possibility of a federal election before 1966 much less likely." 'WHAT WE EXPECTED' George Martin, president of ithe City Conservative Associa- tion, said the split was "pretty well what we had expected" and said he was confident Mr. Starr would be re-elected in the Osh- awa riding. Mr. Martin said the only pos- sible change he could suggest would be to make Oshawa, be- cause of its great population growth, a riding itself. Boundary changes were based on 1961 census figures and up to 88,581 persons were permitted |in a riding. But Oshawa now has la population of more than 70,000. | Whitby is about 15,000 and popu- lation in the area between the two municipalities would bring the Oshawa riding up to or just over the maximum allowed. | D. "Tommy" Thomas, chairman of the NDP federal riding association, said he was "rather surprised" that the re- distribution plan for the federal seats was different from the pro- vincial redistribution proposal which made the city of Oshawa a separate seat. He said the three-member federal commis- sion was the same group that made provincial redistribution proposals.

'DID WELL IN WHITBY' Mr. Thomas, however, said the NDP did well'in Whitby in the last__provincial election. . and "tacking Whitby onto Oshawa will not be a disadvantage to the party". William Selby, president of the City Liberal Association said he was "happy" to see the split as the present Ontario riding is too large. "Not being able to read a crystal ball I can't predict the outcome of the next election but I think it will give our candidate (Dr, Vipond) an edge," said Mr. Selby, "because he is well known in Oshawa." ; He said Mr. Starr receives much of his support from the rural part of.

Beam Measures Roads' Ups And Downs Pavement has its ups and downs--and a Benkelman Beam is helping Oshawa's engineering department find out how much and why The beam is a 12-foot long: 30 pound, $600, needle shaped "gizmo" some motorists are passing. these days on city streets. What it does is measure, in thousandths: of an inch the de- flection -- or rebound -- of pavements. By comparing deflections of different pavements, the engin- eering department hopes to come up with some. basic in- formation so that past experi- ence with satisfactory pavement .designs can be applied to the design and construction of new pavements and maintenance of poor performing existing pave- ments, A YARDSTICK The beam is one of the few "vardsticks" available to engin- eers who want to establish de- sign relationships which will ex- press the performance and de- flections in. terms of pavement thickness. The beam is simple to use and easy to set up, say the engin- eers. And Oshawa is one of the first municipalities in Canada to use it "Tests could result in better designs and better pavements at fk less cost," says Robert Richard- son, city field engineer. "But all we have now is a mumble, jumble of statistics which we will have. to sort out, draw some conclusions, and cgn- firm results next year before we can apply the information to the design of new. pavements," says Viktor Silgailis, assistant field engineer.

Tests are confined: to sections of 13 arterial, residential and collector streets, where the thickness of the asphalt surface, gravel base and type of soil underneath is unknown. The tip of the beam rests be- tween the dual wheels of a five- ton truck, loaded with sand so that 18,000 pounds are resting on the rear axle, The truck drives forward eight feet 10 inches; stops, anda sen- sitive micrometer gauge on the beam records the pavement de- flection RIG] DPROCEDURES Rigid testing procedures are enforced -- right down to the size (10 by 22 inches) and ply (12) of the truck's tires -- so that tests in Oshawa can be compared with' identical tests conducted. by the. Ontario De- partment of Highways and other Canadian municipalities. Pavement temperatures are recorded every two hours be- cause they may relate to deflec- tions. A-small hole is dug in the pavement, filled with water and a thermometer placed in <« the water. Mr. Eta said the highest pave- mént -temperature recorded so far is 15 degrees. He said pave- ment temperatures are about 2 degrees higher than air tem- peratures,
