No Settle For Board-CUPE The first conciliation board hearing to settle the contract dispute 'between the Oshawa Board of Education and Local 218, Canadian Union of Public Employees, has ended with no settlement. Douglas Lindsay, Local 218 president, said today that the board's representative, Donald Houck, offered to meet union contract proposals made three months ago. "This whole thing could have been settled when we made the offer initially," said Mr, Lindsay, "but we told the negotiators that if the nego- tiations were carried on to the conciliation board stage then we would revert to our original demands." Mr. Lindsay said the board will meet tomorrow when the proposals and counter-proposals will be discussed. "Mr. Houck said that he would have meet with the board because to} ment Stanley Lovell" chairman of the board finance committee, said today that a board meet- ing is scheduled for tomorrow. "] don't know if any proposals were made at the conciliation board hearing," he said. "What went on there will probably be discussed at the meeting. I imagine that it will be a caucus meeting," he said. 'We have strike support from our members," said Mr. Lind- say, "and the longer these negotiations are 'dragged out then the mrere- determined our) men become."

New liquor laws designed to brighten Ontario drinking establishments came into ef- fect today. Pubs can remain open through the supper hour -- 6.30 p.m. to 8 p.m. -- the former compulsory -- closing time, and _ entertainment, dancing, singing, darts, shuffleboard and other games are now permitted in taverns. Albert Bolter, manager of the Cadillac Hotel on Sim- coe st. s. said the beverage room will be open through the supper-hour in about two weeks when sufficient staff is organized. He said there are no plans for a dance floor in the main lounge which already offers entertainment and the honky-tonk piano in the bev- "MORE DIVERSION ON TAP? erage room will continue as the entertainment 'there. There's no room to add a dance floor in the lounge and even if there were it's not the hotel's policy to cater to the young dancing crowd, said Mr. Bolter. Alec Countryman, assis- tant manager of the Central Hotel, said the only change will be longer drinking hours in the beverage room in about two weeks. There isn't enough room for a dance floor in the lounge and space won't per- mit entertainment facilities in the small beverage room, he said, "We could use an extra 50 to 75 seats in the lounge now," he added. Charles F. Lancaster, di- rector, Hotel Lancaster (Oshawa) Limited, empha- sized that nothing official has been received from pro- vincial officials at the Liquor Control Board. "It is not automatic. We must be notified before we can make application for extension of thése privil- eges,"" he said. Mr. Lancaster said he hasn't had time yet to look into the changes but he expects to have the hotel's men's beverage room fe- main open through the day. Extra staff required--and the present vacation period -- could delay this move, he said. There is a table- shuffleboard in the men's room now. Possibility of a dance floor at the hotel seem remote. Lack of room was given as the reason, Hotel Genosha spokesman Robert Campbell gave the same reason for no addi- tion of dance facilities. "However, we haven't real- ly gone into the changes available yet and have made no definite plans," he said.

The driver of the Creek Valley expressway opponents are "up in the air" over city council's plans to bring! the route up the Oshawa Creek Valley. : Robert Nicol, co-ordinator of the newly-formed Citizens for the Preservation of the Creek Valley, said an airplane has been used to study alternative routes, He said one suggestion is the Warne Creek area, described as a natural watershed from the vicinity of Rossland road and Stevenson road to the Macdonald-Cartier. Freeway. The CPCV committee calls this route "an appropriate strip of clear land'. 'SELFISH AS INDIANS' Mr. Nicol said today the 1,500 persons who have so far signed the petition opposing the Oshawa Creek Valley route are "about as selfish as the early settlers were in preserving their homes from hostile Indians." Valley Route Opponents | 'Up In Air' Over New Road Rirplane Used To Study Alternative Road Routes He was referring to Mayor Lyman Gifford's recent state- ment that too many persons are looking at the. route from an individual point of view and not considering the best interest of the city. "We don't deny the need for a rapid transit system for the city," Mr. Nicol said, "but we do question the desirability of the route following the creek." CROSS SECTION Supporters so far represent a cross-section of the city's population, says Mr. Nicol, and are not just those who stand to lose their property along the route.

But we do ask that the aldermen take another look at the location of this high- speed traffic artery," Mr. Nicol said, Aurel Barbeau, 24, left his Gladstone ave. apart- ment building today to drive to work only to find his car had been stolen.
