N. E. Damas, who presented a final report on Centennial Parkway to council, said his firm has no intention of destroy- ing a recreational area in the heart of the city when it recom- mended # roadway in the val- ley. While designing the parkway, Mr. Damas said: '"'We con- tinually asked ourselves: How can we find ways and meas of preserving the valley?" CURRENTLY VACANT Mr. Damas in his report said TST TION HAL NINTERMENINER NTT a large percentage of the land to be occupied by the parkway is currently vacant while the remainder is given to residen- tial usage. "Within limitations of avail- able space and cost the park- way has been so located as to minimize interference to lands zoned or used for parks and to facilitiate the integration of such lands in the city's plans for the future development of parks and outdoor recreational facilities," said Mr, Damas. "The alignment of the park- way therefore, will be found at or near one or the other boun- dary of the land zoned for park usage," he said. Mr. Damas also said the roadway fits in well with the valley master plan of parks and open space being prepared for the city by Project Planning Associates Ltd. "The Oshawa Golf Club sec- tion of the road has been given special and long attention, be- lieve me, to minimize interfer- ence," said Mr. Damas. The report estimated the cost of creek channel improvements at $852,000 with most of it spent from the north end of the High- way 401 interchange through the central business district to Col- borne st. rnetgetvg tiers | news media.

City council last night re- ceived final detailed plans of the 6.21 mile roadway in the Oshawa Creek Valley from Wentworth st., to just north of the city's north boundary. Council did not discuss whether or not the. parkway should be constructed and indi- cations are that a final decision will not be made this year, Mayor Lyman Gifford, at the conclusion of a two-hour review of the plans, suggested council study them for two or three weeks before holding further discussions. N. E, "Nick" Damas, a part- ner in the firm at Damas and Smith Ltd., consulting engi- neers, presented the final func- tional (detailed) planning re- port to council, City officials, lanning board bers and representatives of two groups opposing construction also at- tended the meeting. The total estimated cost of the parkway will be partly off- set by provincial subsidies rang- ing from 331-3 percent to 100 percent on various sections. CITY SHARE A rough, and entirely unoffi- cial estimate of the city's share of the total cost, based on sub- sidy policies, is $6,500,000. Mr. Damas emphasized sev- eral times that the highways department could not be com- mitted to any expenditures until an agreement is signed. LOGICAL STEP He said the next logical step for the city is to review with the highways department the "areas of work included in the subsidy classification." He said the department's interpretation of work eligible for subsidy may not coincide with his inter- pretation. The final report included aer- ial photos with the parkway superimposed, maps, and writ- ten sections dealing with a re- view of the project, the cost, creek ch 1 improv ts, |structures, drainage, illumina- | He said another 300,000 per-|tion, landscaping, underground |sons who are receiving aid junder various welfare plans \@ ere automatically enrolled junder OMSIP when the plan |; commenced on April 1.

The open enrolment period for the general public, which began April 1, closes May 1. Those en- rolling after May 1 must wait three months before coverage jis effective. | Bike Auction 'Set Saturday Oshawa Police Department's jcollection of unclaimed bicycles | Will go-up for- auction this Sat=| urday, | The auction of some 30) bicycles will be held at a Stirte-| jvant's auction room at 33 Hall) jst. starting at 1 p.m, | | The bicycles, many of them |in perfect condition, have been| in the police station basement) throughout the winter. | For some strange reason few) |of them have been claimed.

N. E. Damas, who presented a final report on the parkway last night to city council, said the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway interchange, costing an estimat- ed. $6,107,000 would be built by the provincial department of highways. The parkway estimates, divid- ed into six sections, including construction, property acquisi- tion, engineering and all other costs, are based on costs pre- vailing in the Oshawa area in mid-1965. SUBSIDIES AVAILABLE Mr, Damas said subsidies are available but that work included in the subsidy classifications would have to be approved by the highways department.

Ross W. Morrison, of Kitch- ener, campaign chairman for Ontario and one of the thous- ands of volunteer workers asso- ciated with the Ontario branch of the Canadian Cancer Soci- ety, was the guest speaker. He was introduced to the meeling by past-president Kiwanian Walter Famme, campaign chairman of the Ontario County Unit and later thanked by past- president Ken Smyth, publicity chairman for the 1966 cam- paign. Prior to giving a report on the progress being made in the fight against the dreadful dis- ease of cancer and how the millions of dollars raised are commended the Oshawa Kiwa- nis Club for its contribution, With every club member par- ticipating, under the guidance of a special committee, Oshawa Kiwanians' have spearheaded the annual Cancer Drive in this city and area, since 1957. "It is voluntary groups such as your club and thousands of others throughout Canada, that make this campaign and our project a_ reality," said. the speaker. He said last year there were approximately 70,000 cancer patients-in Canada and over 20,000 deaths. While the per- centage of cancer deaths has in- creased in the past five years from 40 percent to 53 percent, the speaker pointed out that this was due, not only to in- creased population but in a large measure to the fact that survival rate is much 'higher now and deaths from other dis- eases, now under control, are not nearly as frequent as a few years ago, of cancer can now be controlled and skin cancers, if discovered in time, can almost consistently be cured. THREE ORGANIZATIONS Mr. Morrison named _ the three main organizations con- cerned with cancer, the Nation- al Cancer Institute, a group of professional volunteers, doctors, chemists, etc., devoting their time to a tremendous research program; the Ontario Treat- ment Foundation, another group which makes a thorough study of the drugs and §treat- ments, for treatment of the dis- ease and the Canadian Cancer Society. "The Canadian Cancer Soci- ety is recognized, even in Unit- ed States and Europe, as the finest organization of its kind in the world, in terms of its suc- cess and magnitude of scope," said the speaker, "and the rea- son is simply in the tremendous work done by our vast army of dedicated workers and volun- teers." Pia \ \e "The Canadian Cancer Soci- ety, the Ontario Cancer Society, your Ontario County unit and each of you, worker, each has three main jobs to do, three responsibilities to assure the success of our ight against this disease," said the speaker. We must educate lic as to the warning signs of cancer, the importance of regu- lar medical check-ups and what steps strikes; raise this fight, we know, will be a long one, since there are many forms of cancer and they re- act in different ways variety of treatments we know; and we must continue to serve the patients and aid those who suffer from cancer."

Received By City Council N. E. DAMAS 1981," said Mr. Damas in his report. He said the parkway is essen- tially a 50-mile-per-hour four lane expressway throughout its length with freeway character- istics between its interchange with the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway and the cnetral busi- ness district. FACTS CONSIDERED Mr. Damas in his report said the planning of the parkway and the development of detailed plans have been influenced by the recognition and evaluation of a number of significant fac- tors including: --the new road facility must provide adequate traffic serv- ice; the adequacy of service was tested in terms of capa- city and safety; furthermore, traffic service was evaluated in relation to the cost of the new road; --adequate connections of the new road must be made to the city's surface street system to ensure maximum and convenl- ent service to the road user; --interference with: present development must be kept to a minimum; since the new road is gen- erally located along the valley of the creek, its exact location was so established as to minimize its interference with the present use of the valley land or its future development for park and recreational uses; --the construction of the road must be implemented in such a manner as to allow the use of the completed parts as soon as they become available. Most Expensive Section City A Penny ture until an agreement was signed. The sections and estimated {costs outlined in the report, along with the city's estimated share of the cost, are: One -- Wentworth to the south end of the Highway 401 inter- change, $412,000 -- city's share, 66 and 2-3 per cent. Two -- the interchange in- cluding the construction of col- lector and distributor roads and interchange ramps, work on Highway 401, construction of the CNR structure over the park way, the-now- Simecoc-st., bridge over the 401 and channel im- provements, $6,107,000 -- city's share, zero, CONNECTING RAMPS Three-north: end of the inter- change to Colborne st., include ing connecting ramps to the cen- tral business district and chan- nel improvements, $5,358,000 -- city's share, 25 percent.

Birthday Today Celebration Later Queen Elizabeth's 40th birth- day today will slip by without fanfare in Oshawa. Observation of the occasion comes on Victoria Day -- a Dominion holiday that falls this year on May 23, the nearest Monday to the 24th which was originally set aside for celebrae tion of Queen Victoria's -birth- day. Dr. Charles Elliott, superin- tendent of public schools, says the day goes as usual and that significant celebrations of Queen Elizabeth's birthday re- main in cold storage for the 23rd,
