Cold War Hots U Pp With Mock Battle The cold war hotted up fora spell last weekend when 'Soviet troops' moved into Ontario County -- and were repelled by local Canadian forces. The - combatants were all cadet members of Ontario Reg- iment squadrons who battled their way from Port Perry to the tank training grounds of the regiment at Raglan. Wearing uniforms of the Soviet forces the invaders established a camp. at the train- ing grounds. The Soviet-style equipment was loaned to the cadets by the Oshawa-Ukrain- fan Film Club. The film club used the uni- forms in a film recently made locally based on the Russian- Ukrainian struggle after the last war. Some 60 cadets: from the regi- ment's cadet forces were en- gaged in the two-day power struggle. The cadets, mostly high school students, - bivouaced over-night at the old Raglan little red Airport. were split up into raiding par- ties. Infiltrating groups moved down from the Scugog Island causeway towards the tank training grounds, meeting staging small skirmishes. | Following a final briefing the 'Thumps Make Me Sick To Stomach': Vibrations .

Forsythe, secretary- treasurer of the fire fighters association, in a letter to coun- cil last night, outlined the wage and other proposals and requested a meeting with council's labor relations com- mittee, The fire fighters' proposed salaries as of Jan. 1, 1966 would increase a_probation- er's wages $504 to $5,172 per year; increase a first class fire fighter's wages $903 to $6,547; and increase a platoon chief's wages $1,060 to $7,686 per year. Ald. Hayward Murdoch, chairman of the committee, said a meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday at which time the proposals will be heard. He said discussions on the proposals will not begin until the first of next year when a new labor relations committee is appointed by council, Mayor Lyman Gifford said council should consider abol- ishing the labor relations com- mittee. But, after the meeting, he declined to indicate wheth- er council, a committee of council or a non-council group should handle negotiations.
