"The men were just fed up with the attitude of the com at the first con- ciliation officer meeting held Monday." "THREE PRESENT" Mr. Stone said that only three of the five, commis- sioners were present at the meeting. "Mayor Lyman Gifford did not turn up, Commissioner Roy Fleming was not there and Commis- sioner Henry Baldwin had to leave half way through. "Apparently he had to go but we were not tll that until Tuesday." .Commissioner Baldwin said today that he told the union representatives of his committment before the conciliation meeting got under way. Mr. Stone said that com- missioners Frank McCallum ana E, F. aa at- auu tended the m "The commission is show- ing a lack of interest and co-operation in these negoti- ations," charged Mr. Stone. Mayor Lyman Gifford said yesterday that he could not attend the conciliation meeting because of a pre- vious commitment. 'I can't be everywhere at once . . . but when I sit down I want to do busi- - ness, not waste time. 'NOT DRAGGING FEET' "My time is valuable and so is the union's," said the mayor. He also stated that the PUC is not "dragging its feet" in the negotia- tions. "The commissioners should be prepared to shoulder their responsibilities as elected officials," said Mr. Stone. "What can be more important a re aimed at fgg solution to five-month-old problem? 'all the commissioners ought to have been at the meeting." .

He stated that ie a rates and statutory hol are also among the 15 items in dispute. 'We started out with 60 issues but have boiled them down during negotiations," said Mr. Stone. "Although we have been bargaining for five months we have been moving--but slowly. This is what has up- set our members and yes- terday's walkout was direct- ed at the bargaining com- mittee of the union just as much as the PUC."

A'WAITIN' Freeway Widening Plans Not Definite: Spokesman Widening. of the Macdonald-, Cartier Freeway between Toron- to and Highway 35 is "very speculative at the moment," Says a provincial government official. H. W. Rowe, department of highways information officer, told The Times today he knows of no definite plans to widen the highway. Nick Damas, traffic consultant, told city council earlier this month the highways department is s 2 highway needs be- tween Toronto and Highway 35, just 'east of Bowmanville. "Neéds studies are going on all the time," sid Mr. Rowe. Mr. Damas said the highways} department may recommend a 10-lane highway -- a six-lane core with two-lane distributor and collector roads on each side. The wider highway, he added, would alter plans for the propos- ed Creek Valley Expressway's intersection (a cloverleaf) with the main highway. RECEIVE REPORTS A detailed report on the south- council earlier this month, A final report, with costs and prop- erty drawings, is expected this fall on the northern portion. As proposed, the four lane, divided, limited access route would extend from Wentworth st., in the south and follow the Oshawa Creek bed north to ton rd. The provincial government will pay 75 percent of the cost of construction of the propos- ed valley route and 33 and one- third percent of property ac- quisition costs. However, new "expressway legislation" is in the offing which might raise sub- sidies to municipalities for prop- erty acquisition to 75 percent. The route, as proposed by Damas-Smith, would run under both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways and way, over Gibb st., King and Bond sts., over Ade-| laide ave., and under Rossland) rd. RECORD PROGRAM Aside from the possible widen-| ing of the Macdonald - Cartier) Freeway and the proposed val- ley route, the city has embark- ed on a record $4 million road construction and maintenance program this year. The city will bear $1,898,600 of the total cost; the depart-| ment of highways $1,267,100, and property owners and other con- tributions will make up the|3 $979,900 balance. A major project this year will be the widening and reconstruc- tion of King st., from Stevenson rd., to the west city limit, and the extension of Bond st. w., from Stevenson rd., to King st., the Macdonald - Cartier high- at a point near Waverly st.

Crackdown On It was a matter of life and death last night. The 10-year-old Oshawa Re- gional Planning Association died at 8.25 p.m. And the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board was. born a few minutes later. The new regional planning board, approved by six area municipalities earlier this year, held its first meeting at Osh- awa's city hall last night with 12 of the 15 council-appointed representatives present, "The continued co-operation of member municipalities is vital if the regional board is going to do anything for the individ- ual municipalities and the area," said Desmond Newman, who was elected chairman of the board. He was chairman of the planning association. Dennis Tyce was elected vice- chairman. New officers will be appointed annually in January. GREAT CHALLENGE "There is a great challenge for regional planning and I hope we can all see clear. to give and take and work with esprit de corps in the best in- terests of the area as a whole," A committee composed of Mr Newman, Mr Tyce, Harold Muir, Tom Wilson, Albert Cole and Walter Beath, representing each of the participating mu- nicipalities -- Whitby, Oshawa, Darlington Township, Whitby Township, Bowmanville and East Whitby Township -- was also appointed. The committee was empow- erel to advertise for and inter- view applicants for the position of planning director; draft a budget for 1965; employ a tem- porary secretary; seek office space; and make any other re- commendations to the board at either a special meeting this summer or at the first regular fall meeting, Sept 16. TURN OVER $1227 The planning association voted to turn over to the new board a cash balance of $1,227 which 10-Year-Old Board 'Dead' Life Given Area Plan Group will be deducted proportionately from each municipalities' 31.5 cent per capita contribution. It was earlier estimated 'the cost of the first year's opera- tion would amount to $35,000 with Oshawa paying about 63 percent or $22,000. However, because the board will not be operating for a full year in 1065 the actual-cost is expected to be much less. The committee will also con- sider the question of remunera- tion for board members. Oshawa has five members 'on the board and the other five mu- nicipalities have two members each. Oshawa is the "head of- fice" municipality. "It's time we forgot about where we come from," said Wil- liam Lycett (Bowmanville re- presentative) "'We should think in terms of the region and work for the region." said Oshawa's Mayor Lyman Gifford Lauder-Formby Type Act For First Concert Billy Meek, with musical comedy routines reminiscent: of Sir Harry Lauder and George Formby, will star in the first of six concerts this summer in| the McLaughlin Bandshell in Memorial Park, July 6, at 8.30 p.m. Again this year General Motors and the Toronto Musi- cians' Association have agreed to sponsor the concerts as part of the city's summer entertain- ment program.

Black Lost In Sisters' Habit WHITBY (Staff) -- Modifica- tions in the habit worn by the Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception are pointed up mainly in the removal of "some of the black', according to Sis- ter St. Isaura, Mother Superior at the Marguerite d'Youville convent here on John street west. White collar and cuffs will replace black ones and the veil will be shortened. But the en- tire habit ' will remain beige, with the white. headpiece trimm- ed with black gauze. "Our aim," says Mother St. Helena, Superior General of the Congregation, "has been to modify, though not entirely modernize, and to combine dig- nity with simplicity." The Grey Sisters, whose Ca- nadian-born founder Marguer- ite.d'Youville-was_beautified--in 1959, conduct schools, hospitals, clinics and homes for the aged. They are established in three provinces in Canada, the Dom- inican Republic and the Ba- hamas, One-Way Speed Oshawa police traffic squad have started to crack down on speed limit violators on the outskirts of the city's new one- way street system.
