Mr. Lovell said the matter should be delt with by council and police. Trustee L. G. Glover called it an emergency situa- tion requiring immediate action. The board will recommend that council take some action on the matter. School Plans To Be Drawn Final plans will be drawn and tenders called for a new eight-acre senior public, school on Cedar St., south of Thomas St., board of education trustees decided last night. The board's architect says of the construction is $491,000, a 10 percent increase over the original amount allotted for the school. "Our architect has done the best possible to save money. His construction estimate is not definite. It may go up or it may go down," said business admin istrator, J. R. Backus. He said the architect sug- |gested the landscaping and in- |terior mill work be done in |separate tenders and he men- tioned other ways of saving money when discussing interior finishes and materials. Trustee Dr. Claude Vipond said the school should not be called by the district in which it is located but a more meaningful name should be sought.

New Stop Law Not For City A new amendment to the Highway Traffic Act requiring '|for many years," he told conn- Council Backs UAW Proposal To Aid Auto Workers Find Job: 'Six- Member Committee Appointed By Gifford City council.. will help the get jobs. 5 At a special council meeting last night unanimous support was given to a Local 222, UAW brief urging the city to back its program of obtaining jobs for 2,600. recently laidoff General Motors employees. Mayor Lyman Gifford ap- pointed a committee of five aldermen and himself which will endeavor to implement the proposals contained in the brief. Placard + carrying members of Local 222 filled the council chambers as their president, Albert "Abe" Taylor and Wil- liam Harding, chairman of the GM bargaining committee, presented the brief to council. Mr. Taylor told council his local must find support and jobs for many of the ° 2,600 people who are laidoff in Gen- eral Motors as a direct result of the Canada-U.S, Auto trade Pact. He said a special committee formed as a result of the layoff has undertaken to meet with the three levels of government to present briefs and discuss the problem. To date they have met with representatives from the federal and provincial governments, he added. PRESSURE In urging council to put pres- sure on the federal and pro- vincial governments to adopt the UAW program Mr. Taylor said the layoff would represent a loss of revenue of $15 million to the city. He base the calculation on an average autoworker's wage of $5,500 a year. "We know everyone of our industries is being hit by the Auto Pact," said the Oshawa president. 'Work is down by 50 per cent at most GM feeder plants." In answer to a question from Ald. Richard Donald, Mr. Tay- lor said he would not be able to estimate the number of ly affected by the layoff until General Motors resumes production, said Mr. "In the past," pie § "for every union man laidoff there has been an equal number of non-union employees laid off." SEEK CONTRACTS The civic government, he said, should push the federal government to get some com tracts into Oshawa; such as the manufacturing of aircraft parts to supplement the loss of production of component parts for automobiles which has re- sulted because of the Auto Pact. Projects still on the drawing board, such as the Centennial Parkway and the new city hall project should be speeded along so as to create more jobs, said Mr. Taylor. "Other city councils in the past have 'dilly - dallied' along and put the brakes on," said Mr, Taylor, "then they. com- plained of no manpower." The manpower is available now, he added. "The UAW will endorse coun- cil's fast action on these mat. ters," said the president. YOUNG MEN Mr. Harding told council, in- cluded in the 2,600 man layoff was the cream of the crop; strong healthy young men w! should have jobs, "One of our proposals is that General Motors allow persons from 55 to 62 years of age to retire early without actuarial reductions," he said. j "The company has not offer- ed to do so yet," said the chairman of the GM bargaining committee, "but in similar situe ations in the States they have." Ald. Clifford Pilkey, who is also president of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, told council it should urge the gov- ernment to set up tripartite dis- cussions, And he added that if General Motors anticipates any large layoffs the mayor should be in- cluded in the discussions and an attempt should be made to workers that would be ultimate- find jobs for those laid off, Benefit Scheme Fails, Says Union The government's Transition- al Assistance Benefits program was sharply attacked by the UAW representatives. The TAB program has been a proven failure," said Mr. Taylor, "largely because the TAB regulations which the fed- eral government has drafted, permit the employer to dis- qualify those of his laid-off em- ployees eligible for supplemen- tary unemployment benefits from entitlement to transitional assistance benefits." To the end of June, he added, only 38 workers had received TAB. "Parliament had voted $5 million for the program and at the end of June only $4,559 had been paid out," he said, WITHDRAWS Ald. Margaret Shaw was the first to spur action on the brief but withdrew. her motian of en- dorsement when she learned that the brief called for con- struction of the parkway. Mayor Lyman Gifford threat- ened to throw Ald. Shaw out of the council meeting if she didn't stop talking on her motion. She did, eventually. Mr. Taylor told council it wasn't the aim of his local to handcuff city hall but he was trying to get jobs for the 2,600 laid-off workers, "We've been a backwood city cil, "It's about time we got out of the woods and on the hit parade." ' President to draw welfare benefits, he told council, it'll cost the city much more than the millions they are talking about now . Ald. Richard Donald, Ald. Clifford Pilkey, Ald, Christine Thomas, Ald. John Brady, Ald. Gordon Attersley and the mayor will form the commit: tee to implement the UAW pro- posals, Union Calls For Action Local 222, UAW, in its brief presented to council called on the city to support its program as presented to the provincial and federal governments: --designate Oshawa as a sur plus manpower area under the manpower mobility program. give laid off workers prefer- ence in hiring within the auto industry; --the two governments to in- stitute a re-training centre in Oshawa; --make TAB available to all laidoff Workers without strings; --pay a relocation allowance to any. worker who has to mave in order to find employment; ~--advance the target dates for such projects as the atomic energy plant in Pickering and the Oshawa' Centennial Park- way; --pass legislation to compel a company to show cause before | | Tf the laid-off workers have any layoffs. motorists approaching from the | front or rear to come to a com- plete stop, will not apply in the city.

B.|farmers earned an_ estimated Farmers' Incom e Increases Reports Statistics Bureau OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian realized net income of $1,595,- 800,000 from farming operations in 1965, an increase of 13.4 per cent over 1964, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said today. While farm - operating ex- penses and depreciation charges rose by more than six per cent between 1964 and 1965, this was more than offset by increases in total receipts from the sale of farm products, supplementary payments and income in kind. The figures do not include Newfoundland. Total farm net income, cal- culated by adding the value of changes in inventory of field crops and livestock to realized|; farm net income, was estimated at $1,660,300,000, about 26 per cent above 1964 and 29 per cent above the, 1960-1965 average. Substantial increases in farm inventories ef grain on the Prai- ries and an increased year-end carry-over of tobagro more than offset decline in livestock num- bers to contribute to the in- crease in total farm net ipcome. Cash receipts from farming operations reached a record high of $3,775,800,000 in 1965, slightly more than eight per cent above the previous high Of $3,488,200,000 in 1964. CATTLE. RECEIPTS RISE The bureau said the most im- portant single contribution to the increase in farmers' cash receipts was made by cattle and calves, There were lesser in- creases for hogs, poultry, dairy products, potatoes, rape seed, barley and Canadian wheat board participation payments. The most important offset to these gains was a substantial decrease in cash receipts from the sale of wheat. Supplementary payments to farmers in. 1965 totalled $28,300,- 000 compared to $8,500,000 in 1964. A
