TRAFFIC CONTROL re- mains one of the Oshawa 'Police Department's biggest headaches. The best part of the force is tied up in traffic control duties during every rush hour. Above Con- stable Gary Patton, on motorcycle duty on Went- worth st., keeps a wary eye on the auto situation. It only takes one minor hitch and traffic is tied up for several blocks. Latest police time saver to be installed at the police station is the Telex system centre. With this machinery, here operated Cadet Jack White, police can keep in close touch with other police forces all over the province. Information on stolen cars, Oshawa has many cases every year--can be passed on quickly and efficiently.

Area Government Study 'Discussed By Plan Body The possibility of a regional government study was discuss- ed last night by members of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board. "It seems the regional plan- ning board will have to have some type of government or it will just carry on like the old planning association," said Whitby Township Reeve John Dryden. Reeve Dryden, who sparked the government study discus- sion, said the province has or is conducting regional govern- ment studies in several areas of Ontario. NINE AREAS Municipal Affairs Minister J. W. Spooner announced in March that the government would con- duct studies in nine areas where rapid urbanization has created growing pains. Ontario County was one of the nine areas mentioned by Mr. Spooner. The board last night. asked planning director William _Mc- Adams to seek further informa- tion on the studies and report back at the next meeting. Reeve Dryden said the idea of US. GM Fund | Music Fans To Drum Up Wouldn't Work Support For Concerts Here: UAW Man About 350,000 General Motors production workers in the U.S. will share a $14 million Christ- mas bonus next month as a re- sult of clauses negotiated with the United Auto Workers union in 1964 contracts. Canadian employees of GM of Canada are not covered by the clauses and will not share the kitty. The UAW-GM agreement pro vided for the payment of $25 or more to each employee out of a fund built up by company contributions. The fund was established when, the Supple- mentary Unemployment Bene- fits fund reached its maximum level, At that point the company contributed five cents for each hour worked to the bonus fund. The distribution of the $14 mil- lion works out at about $40 for each hourly-rated employee eligible. Richard Courtney, an Oshawa representative of fhe inter. national UAW, said today that the changes could have been negotiated jin Canadian con- tracts -- but wouldn't have paid off for workers here. "The SUB fund in the U.S. was close to its maximum level when the agreement was negotiated,' he he said. "They could see that the change was going to pay off "In Canada we took a look at the situation and found that the number of people employ- ed, projected layoffs each year a regional government in the area may be 'premature'. He also said it might be two to three years before a study was completed. He said the regional planing board was approved quickly by the province after the six mem- ber municipalities agreed to participate and suggested if area municipalities were unanimous in requesting a government study it would also be approved by the province. One of the major terms of reference in provincial regional government studies is inter-mu- nicipal relations and problems. In other areas that have been or are being studied a commis- sion has been set up o/° a con- sultant hired to conduct the study. The province pays half the costs. A regional planning board has been launched but so far it hasn't been able to get too high off the ground.

Therese Visitors Hear Quebec Minister Stronger inter-provincial eco- nomic links were suggested by Quebec's minister of industry and Commerce, Gerard Levesque, when he spoke last night to members of the Osh- awa and Ste, Therese Cham- fbers of Commerce. The Oshawa citizens were in Montreal to round-off their one- day tour of the Ste. Therese dis- trict. where a new General Motors of Canada Limited plant has, been established. More than 90 local residents were in the party, Mr. Levesque said in his ad- dress that Canadian provinces should place commercial rep- resentatives in the various large regions of the country. This would systematically intensify their economic links. The industry and commerce| minister said that Ontario and Quebec should "diversify their Canadian export markets" as both provinces 'exchange be- The country's economic equi- librium would be supported best by inter-provincial com- mercial exchanges, he said. Speaking in both French and English of Quebec's desire to export more goods, he said "'our desire has a_ counter-weight, that of collaborating actively in the progress of Canada." Mr. Levesque spoke at a ban- quei which ended the day for the Oshawa visitors. Jack Mann, secretary-man- ager of the Oshagva Chamber, said this morning that the local delegates also visited the site of ©xpo '67, lunched at a resort in the Laurentians, toured the GM plant in Ste. Therese and attended a reception given by|* municipalities in the Ste. Therese district. "We had a wonderful time -- our Quebec friends couldn't have been better hosts," said Mr. Mann.

Counselling Idea: Pierson for financial backing the Chest would "be willing to help." In September, the Chest dis- carded the proposals of a study jmade by a committee formed by the social planning board of the city because the ap- pointed committee was not "qualified to do such a study," Mr. Person said. ; The study was started late last year and when completed and handed in the form of a brief to the Chest May 19, "we thought it actually was pretty well sold to them," says Bar- \briefs advocated the provincial/nard Lewis, a member of the committee and local director of the Children's Aid Society. The brief suggested how the service could be formed and a initial operations budget of $16,400.

Ohe Oshawa Gimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1965 Construction of Centennial Parkway and the destruction of ja recreational area "'is the jheight of stupidity', Nelson 3 Years Jail, Hospital Fraud AJAX (Staff) -- A 34-year-old RR4 Tillsonburg man was sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary when he pleaded guilty to three charges of false pretenses in Ajax Mag- istrate Court Thursday. Hugh Everett was found guilty of obtaining $84.50 in credit at the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital when he was admitted at the hospital on Nov. 10. Everett gained admission to the hospital after claiming he had received a back injury while working at 'a Pickering con- struction site. Ajax Police said the whole admission form at the hospital was falsified ex- cept for the accused's name and address. The accused remained at the hospital until Nov. 12 when he was released after receiving treatment and X-rays which in- dicated no back injury. Hospita | Administrator K. Mac Innis notified the Ajax Police when he received a cir- cular from the Ontario Hospital Commission advising him that the accused was attempting to under false pretenses. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck informed the Court that Everett was apparently suffering from some back ailment but that he gainedadmittance to the hos- pital to obtain a drug called Demeroll. Magistrate H. M. Jermyn sen- tenced the accused to three years in prison on the Ajax charge and sentenced him to one year concurrent on each of obtain admissions to hospitals H Starr told the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board last night. Mr. Starr, a Toronto lawyer representing, the citizen's Com- mittee for Creek Valley Conser- vation, said the Oshawa Creek Valley 'is the best recreational area betyveen Whitby and Bow- manville, He also suggested the three municipalities might some day become one community. "The moment one puts an ex- pressway in a recreational area -- that's the end of the recrea- tional area,' said Mr, Starr. NO ACTION Following Mr. Starr's verbal presentation and a short ques- tion period, no action was taken by the regional planning board. Dennis Tyce, board chairman, at the start of the meeting, said if the board was to make any conclusion on the expressway it would also have to hear from Damas and Smith Ltd., authors of the city-wide traffic planning report which recommended the roadway in the creek valley. But, the board did not discuss having Damas and Smith repre- sentatives at a future meeting. Mr. Starr said if the roadway becomes a matter of serious consideration he would like to speak to the board again. Mr. Starr said if other work recommended in the report. is two other charges of false pre- tenses. One was the admission under false pretences to the aldimand War Memorial Hos- pital involving $25.15 and the other charge was pertaining to a worthless cheque for $110 at St. Thomas for the purchase of two pigs. Crown Attorney Affieck read the accused's record into the trial which included offenses ranging from indecent assault to escaping custody and skip- ping bail and dated back to 1949. Anti-Parkway Lawyer Hits Centennial Road completed by the city the need for an expressway would not arise until 1976. He said by that time Oshawa will have changed and with population increasing in the northwest an expressway might be needed further to the west. He said the report was "obviously not accurate' in that it projected a greater popula- tion increase to the northeast while 1964 planning department information projected a greater increase to the northwest. The Toronto lawyer, accom- panied by several executive members of the citizens' coms mittee including chairman R. E. Woolcott, also discussed costs, what he termed the destruce tion of the Don Valley as a rec- reational area, and council's re- sponsibility to things other than the movement of vehicles. He referred to these matters earlier this month at a city council meeting. After the citizens' committee representatives left the meeting, board members discussed the roadway briefly but took no ac» tion. Walter Beath said Mr. Starr's presentation seemed contradic» tory in that he said the Damas and Smith report was inaccure ate but also that if other recom- mendations in the report were implemented the need for the valley roadway would not arise until 1976. Harold Balson said the Osh awa creek valley was being rep- resented as a "playground" but he suggested very few children play in the valley. William Lycett and Harold Muir said they both wondered where traffic would be moving -- if ing at all -- in Toronto, if the Don Valley Parkway and Highway 401 had not been con- structed. "As we expand, we have te move traffic," said Mr. Lycett, "T thought the Don Valley and 401 were improvements." Philip Brewer went out on a limb yesterday. The gun barrel of a World War Two tank looked as good a challenge as any so he climbed out and lined up his sights. The tank is parked outside the Ontario Regiment _ headquar- ters, Simcoe st. n. The only LINING UP HIS SIGHTS problem for Philip, a 15- year-old grade 10 student at Kingsway College, was that the barrel was chilled and he had a tough time snaking back because of cold hands, "T don't normally do these. things," said Philip. "If I try it again, it's going to. have to be a lot warmer." --Oshawa Times Photo
