Oshawa transport firms were still tied up today as. the wild- cat strike of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters en- tered its tenth day. None of the big five truck- companies were in business morning despite rumors from Toronto that the strike was over and drivers were re- turning to their jobs. The strike against Oshawa's five major transport compan- jes broke out simultaneously in other Ontario centres.

The matter was corrected soon after the broadcast when the radio station discovered that the man was not Mr. Idred. Kenneth McDougall, president of the Local, went on the air and urged drivers to return to work. It is not known who made the hoax call to the station. The strike started October 4 when drivers walked off their jobs despite pleas to return to work by local union officials. The drivers have stayed out in spite of daily urgings by union officials to get back on the job. MOSPORT (Staff) -- Oshawa Weekend, Cooper Monaco. Are Oshawa residents un- years? James Williams, enal" growth. --360 acres of land has been developed for business residen- tial, industrial and institutional purposes; --71 new or existing busi- nesses and industries expanded; --in 1964 retail sales increased by $8 million to a total of $96.5 million and income rose to $149.5 million, an increase of $16.4 million over 1963; ~in terms of industrial em- ployment opportunities, Osh- awa's increase would compare favorably with new industrial jobs opened in Meiro Toronto; --the stability of the city's labor force is supported by the fact that almost 90 percent of the single-family homes are owner-occupied and this is fur- ther supported by the city's better than 97.5 percent average for tax collections over the past 10 years. Mr. Williams suggests that anyone who is not aware of the city's growth should drive around the city and make a mental note of new develop- ments, "Certainly the past 10 years have been good for Oshawa but I believe the next 10-15 years offer even better opportunities for Oshawa and area," says the industrial commissioner, PROMOTION He says one of the gaps which was apparent a few years ago was the lack of both intern and external promotion.
