Figures presented to last night's meeting of the PUC also showed that the operating Joss on the city's bus service last year was $47,559. The comparative figure for 1964 was a loss of $37,172. Electrical Department figures were also considerably down on the figures for the year before. Total profits for the first two months of this year were $41,578 as against $54,903 for the same Period in 1965. Water Department figures were also way down on the year before.

Liu, who left for home today after a six-day tour of Pakistan, was believed to have come pri- marily to elicit a statement from Ayub denouncing Ameri- can involvement in Viet Nam. The communique contained a vaguely worded pledge that the people of the two nations "'sup- port each other in the struggle against aggression." It also re- asserted China's support of Pak- istan in its quarrel with India over the Himalayan state of Kashmir. But it appeared that the com- munique was carefully worded, at Pakistan's insistance, to 12,000,000 from' 10,000,000 be- tween 1961 and 1965. avoid offending the United States. jof the grade 13 examination | Get Valley >= | FREQUENT COMPLAINTS Lt fed "The most etition |plaints were about | : fant crowded content of the grade 13 ward in our provincial educa- City Council will be facea|¥ear and the emphasis on good ere program." with a request for a plebsicite| 'ua! information rather than ex-| on the creek valley expressway | Ploration of paced he _ ia.| issue within the next few weeks.| Other an vantages, he : John DeHart, publicity chair- | ¥48 the re a pei ae he | man for the Oshawa Citizens |¢x@minations as: he "Fig a) Committee for the preservation student's ability, an arising | of the Creek Valley, said today |{rom this, emotional strain to} that a directors meeting held |@4ministrative ee al last night voted that plebiscite!
