TRUSTEES DISAGREE School Idea Dropped wo ss gas: Forreemmrenerrrerrerores eet night took "no action' on a proposal to have school con- struction standardized. The proposal came to the board from the city of Wood- stock via Oshawa city council in the form of a resolution to be presented to the Ontario government. Trustee Dr. Claude Vipond opened discussion by present- ing a motion to receive and file the correspondence. This move was opposed by Trustee Thomas D. Thomas. He said although he didn't think the resolution would get any- Play Fields Below Par Physical education experts say there isn't a playing field at any secondary school in Oshawa in the shape that is required. This information was relayed to the board of education last night by George Roberts, sup- erintendent of secondary schools. He said he had been told by the track and field specialists the two playing fields that are in use, those at McLaughlin Col- legiate and Vocationa! Institute and Oshawa Central Collegiate Institute, "need some work." He said there are ruts in the field at MCVI that were caused when the board's tractor used for cutting grass went over the grounds during early spring. The board has already ap- proved an extensive rebuilding program for the playing field at Donevan Collegiate Institute. Plans whara he thanght the hoard! should. support it anyway. Dr. Vipond said a move such as this would "defeat the whoie purpose of a school rd." Mr. Thomas recalled meet'ng with the Onfario education min- ister (John Robarts, now Pre- mier of the province) in 1953 when he was a member of the provincial parliament, on this subject. "He was in favor of the idea," said Mr. Thomas, "but didn't think the time was right to pre- sent it." : | Mr. Thomas said he inter-| preted the resolution as calling) for a limited number of school) plans that boards could choose) from. IMPRACTICAL Trustee John Larmond said such a plan would be "'practical- ly impossible" and impractical. "Tt might be all right for one-room country schools," he said, "but when you get into the magnitude of construction we conduct for schools in Osh- awa it would not be feasible." Trustee Stephen Saywell said that by reusing a plan for a new school, the. board would only save one per cent from the architect. He said similar resolutions have come up before at the On- tario and Canadian Trustees' Associations conventions and have always been turned down.

"I suppose I wanted to see if I had what it takes to make a trip around the world," said Mr. Parkinson, '"'Also my inter- est in people.

The motor is a little larger than the average lawn-mower, and drives only the right rear wheel. Brakes are operated manually, The car was manu- factured in England from 1935 to 1940. "T've found that people on the average are friendly," he said "But a country with plenty looks at me and my trip as if to say, what have you got to of- fer me?

LEARNED MUCH "I've learned a great deal from this trip, especially that an outsider looking in can see much more than those directly involved. Those involved, seem to get mixed up in mechanics, rather than value," said Mr, Parkinson. "When I return to England in a few weeks I plan on prep- aring for another trip.

Club Presents Life-Size Doll On behalf of the Rotary Club of Oshawa, President Geoffrey Andrews Monday presented a life-size plastic doll to the St. John Ambulance Association in Oshawa to assist in its resusci- tation training program. The gift was accepted by Mrs. Marion Manser, head of the nursing division and Peter Beechey, head of the associa- tion, who gave a short demon- stration of the use of the doll. Brigadier Eric Snow, provin- cial commissioner of the Order of St. John, who voiced appr2- ciation to the club, told of the origin, history and work being done by volunteer workers in many centres. He said the order has 225,000 members throughout the Com- monwealth; 10,000 in Canada; 4,000 in Ontario; and 125 in Osh- awa.

Bigger bright - spots are on by GM for 1967 model cars are to start rolling by the end of August this year, some two weeks ahead of the start last year around Sept. 13. "I think next week there will be layoffs in steps," the com- pany spokesman said, adding it "looks as if we will have com- pleted passenger car production about a week from Friday (this Friday)." ' About 4,850 men are employ- ed in the passenger body plant; 3,850 in the passenger chassis plant; 1,150 in the truck chassis plant; 700 in the truck body plant; west fabrication plant, 1,025; north fabrication plant, 2,250, plus roughly 675 ware - house workers dealing with parts. LAYOFF PAY A GM and government unem- ployment insurance scheme helps reduce the burden on the worker waiting to return to work. What workers take home dur- ng the layoff amounts to an average of about $70 weekly. It comes from government un- employment insurance benefits (which they claim after holi- days) and five cents an hour paid by GM. A GM worker with 15 years experience will not have as long to wait to get back to the job after his holidays elapse. He receives 160 hours holiday pay. A man with one year's ex- perience but less than three gets paid for 80 hours (two weeks) three but less than five, 100 hours; five but less than 10 years, 120 hours; 10. but less than 15, 140 hours. SALES FIGURES 4 ie 7 if S sales figures stood at 246,900 and it appears certain they will exceed last veers everest sales of 319,344 cars and trucks, said the spokesman. By the end of May, last year sales figures work down in com- parison to this year with a total of 216,728 units driven off lots but the seven - week setback in 1965 model porduction was the cause again. For the week ending June 18, 7,600 cars and trucks came off the GM line and for one day it averaged out to a massive 1,500 units. Two Claims Over Floor WHITBY (Staff) -- Judgment of $1,050 was awarded to: the Oshawa Golf Club yesterday in a county court action against Edwil Industries of Toronto. The money was ordered as repayment of a $1,400 bill paid to Edwil Industries for a floor- ing job done at the golf club. In a counter-claim brought by Edwil Industries they were awarded $350 for that part of the flooring job which had proved satisfactory. The action was over a special flooring substance which was laid in the golf club to combat the heavy traffic of golf spikes. Parts of the flooring had peel- ed and come away from the floor, the golf club claimed. Missing Youth Returns Home Alex Dobromilski, the 13-year- old Oshawa boy who disappear. ed from his Windsor St. home on June 1, has been found. Police found the boy working in a restaurant in Cobourg. He is now home, Oshawa police said this morning. His disappearance on June 1 prompted .a prov! Up to the end of May GM's search for the boy. SUMMER CLASSES Registration and summer classes for students, who wish to take high school subjects this summer will be held at O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute. The six-week courses will run from July 4, to August 12 with registration on Tuesday, June 28 and Wednesday, June 29, from 9.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. G. L. Roberts, superintendent of secondary schools, said to- day, confusion as to where the classes would be held had arisen because of anticipated construction in the school area. "This matter has now been settled and classes will be held time during the past year at many public functions. at O'Neill -- not at McLaughlin School Registration At O'Neill Collegiate Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute," he said. Any high school student in grades 9-12, who has not failed more than two of his subjects and who hasn't a grade below 35, is eligible to take the courses. "Every student enrolling in the summer classes must take two subjects," the secondary schoo] superintendent said. The pupil, if he has failed only one discipline, can take an- other subject he is weak in to make up the two. : Mr. Roberts said the prospect was to be able to promote the student at the end of the sum- mer.
