Hodg- eon a retired seismologist; Gordon Mcllwdin, a research director of chemical workers; E. R. S. McLaughlin, assistant chief engineer, General Motors; Gordon Rieh] chartered accoun- tant and Allan Strike, an Osh- awa lawyer. Municipal appointments to the 12-man board of gover- nors were: Ald. Richard Don- ald, city. council's representa- tive; Reeve Henry 8S. Polak of Ajax; Reeve Arthur L, Blan- chard of Darlington Township and J. A. Brandon of Port Hope, LOCATION The announcement of the board of governors is. the first concrete step in the direction of establishing a college of arts and technology in the Oshawa area. Its exact location has not yet been determined. Albert V. Walker, MPP for Conservation Chairman Optimistic About Grant Optimism has been expressed that the provincial government will offer a grant to local con- .#ervation authorities for main- taining public recreation areas. The government now shares 8 per cent of the costs for acquiring and development land. It pays nothing toward maintenance. Hayward Murdoch, chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority says he expects the government will fespond to recommendations from conservation authorities and other groups that a 50 per cent maintenance grant be es- tablished for recreation areas. However, Mr. Murdoch said he expects less than 50 per cent. He said any grant toward maintenance would probably contain certain qualifications which would in effect mean focal authorities would get less than 50 per cent. BRIEFS The provincial government has recently received briefs from various conserva- tion authorities requesting the grant. Tuesday, the United Auto Workers union presented a brief containing similar recom- mendations to the Ontario Leg- EM Sate Racor wa aha September Sales rene (CP)---General Mo- of Canada Ltd. dealers sold S308 cars and trucks in Sep- tember, a sales record for the islature's select committee on conservation authorities. Mr. Murdoch suggested that, under pressure from these groups, the government would probably come up with a better cost-sharing formula. Every local conservation authority facing proliferating maintenance costs, recognizes the vital need for assistance in this area, he said. He contended that a grant covering in part these rising costs would produce better rec- reation facilities. Driver Fined, Fatality Case An Oshawa woman. was con- victed in Lindsay court of dan- gerous driving following a July accident which claimed the life of another woman. Mrs. Diane Scholes, 37, of 400 Grenfell St., was fined $250 and lost her driver's licence for six months. Mrs. Susan Brett, 69, of Lind-| Say was killed and several other persons injured in the July 20 accident. Charges of criminal negligence and care- less driving were withdrawn! and a careless driving charge was dismissed. Mrs. Scholes was also fined a total of $20 on charges of liquor in a place other than a dwelling and for having no driver's 'licence. statement today.

The governors wili have the responsibility of "organizing the entire college operation. Basic curriculum for the col- lege programs will be estab- lished by the department of education but specialized courses for the individual areas will be the responsibility of local boards. Mr. Walker said the opera- tional budget will also be a responsibility of the governors. The entire cost of the college will be financed by the prov- ince without any local taxation. Tuition fees will be modest, he added. Board Workers Seek Contract A contract dispute between 23 board of education clerical employees and the board will go before a conciliation board as soon as a meeting is ar- ranged. Negotiations broke off be- tween Local 251, Canadian Union of Public Employees and the board of education Tuesday after a meeting with concila- tion officer John Hoprer. A union spokesman said to- day key issues in the dispute are scope of the bargaining unit; job posting provisions; statutory holidays; improve- ment on the duration of the agreement; and wages. The food price protest in Oshawa flickered, fizzled and appears to have sputtered out. The United Auto Workers Ladies' Auxiliary, aroused by rising activity in protests against high food prices, took the issue to its regular Tues- day meeting. It was discussed, but a spokesman said that any planned boycott was in its early stages in Oshawa and the women would not plan any immediate action even though they showed concern over prices. SYMPATHY The spokesman said today nothing more than a aetettneamenery ttt ianteneattcetg cee The 1966 appeal for funds by the Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest, which opens Oct. 17, will be a greater challenge than any of its predecessors be- cause the objective is higher, president H.

Mr. Pierson, who is also vice- president and comptroller of General Motors of Canada, spoke to a dinner-meeting of 25 city industrialists and business men.

"You represent a ma- ojrity of the industrial and municipal employee groups throughout Oshawa who con- duct employee canvasses with- in your particular v1 gailzation. I sincerely hope that the can- vass in your particular organ- ization will increase over the 1965 results as it has in Gen- eral Motors over the past sev- eral years. It will be a greater challenge to achieve our objec- tive of $345,875 -- the, campaign collected $837,000 last-year."" be| DECREASING Chairman Richard Fairthorne of the GOCC said at the dinner- meeting, that those invited represented city firms whose employee - canvass totals had been decreasing in _ recent years. "We are here to iron out problems with respect to indi- vidual companies who have with other. groups planning boycotts could be offered by the UAW Ladies' Auxiliary, at the present. The New Democratic Party fanned the spark. but then allowed it to die. A representative of the NDP women's group attended a meeting. of the Consumer's Association of Canada in Osh- awa last night and indicated the association would not sup- port supermarket boycotts. The CAC meeting was call- ed to discuss supermarket boycotts and picketing. NO SUPPORT Mrs. H. L. Haisell, presi- dent of the local CAC said, FOOD FIGHT FIZZLES after the meeting, the CAC could not support such ac- tion. She said there was no justification in criticism of supermarkets for rising prices. "High food prices should not be laid entirely at the door of the supermarkets and while CAC is very sympa- thetic and pleased that peo- ple are being aroused about high food prices we feel that it is not CAC's policy to pick- et or boycott supermarkets." Mrs. Haisell said however that displeased housewives should not buy specific items which they feel are too high- priced.

Executive - secretary Robert J. Branch of the GOCC said to- day that 21 city agencies will share the amount collected this year, according to their re- quirements. He said that the group has requested a total of $407,761 from this year's cam- paign, but that the executive committee had reduced the 1966 objective to $345,875, for a drop of approximately $61,876. "The budgets of the 21 agen- cies were reviewed most ex- haustively before we set this figure," said Ken Smyth, chair- man of the GOCC's budget committee. 'We tried to be realistic in the objective set and. knowing the people of Osh- awa, we are optimistic that they will support us as much as they can."

In an eight-page brief pre- sented here to Labor Minister John Nicholson, Industry Min- ister Charles Drury and Man- power Minister Jean Marchand by a four-man delegation from Oshawa city council, the city charged that a critical situa- tion has arisen in Oshawa as a direct result of the Canada- Unite d States Automotive Trade Agreement. The delegation led by Mayor Lyman Gifford and Ald. Rich- ard Donald told the ministers, Oshawa has suffered while the remainder of Canada has reap- ed the benefits of the agree- ment. CONCRETE STEPS They said the government should take as many immedi- ate concrete steps as possible to assure Oshawa enjoys the anticipated benefits of auto- pact to the same extent as the balance of the country. The government was also asked to give serious consider- ation and implement immedi- ately as many of the recom- mendations as possible which Auto - Pact Rapped By Ctiy Situation Termed Critic MAYOR GIFFORD the production of the large Buick and Oldsmobile cars in Canada was terminated at the end of the 1966 models, and these, as well as the Corvair models and GMC van and tilt cab trucks will, in the future, be produced in the United States. Many which were ry were contained in attached briefs presented by Local 222, UAW to the provincial govern- ment and city council. The tri-governmental commit- tee heard that on Aug. 12 this year the industrial relations officers of General Motors of Canada announced that 2,600 production workers would not be recalled to work for the 1967 model production of cars and rucks. This layoff represented about 15 percent of the average pro- duction work force of 15,000 em- ployed during the 1966 model|i year. PRODUCTION The brief pointed out that sub-assembled in Canada in for- mer model years will be im- ported from the United States for the 1967 models, the brief said. It added that these factors are having a serious impact on parts supplies at General Motors in Oshawa and will effect the cities of St. Catha- rines and Windsor and to a lesser degree a number of com- munities in which there are many industries manufacturing components for the automotive The brief said Oshawa city 'council, through its industrial | Brief Urges Assistance For 2,600 Autoworkers commission, the Oshawa har- bor commissioners and 'every management are making every effort for more extensive use these facilities and the secure ing which would provide more job | opportunities in the city, The government was asked | for any and all assistance | which can be given in the furs | ther development of its harbor and airport in order to attract new trade and industry in this area.

Mr. Freeman was the installing officer, SPONSORED BY CHURCHES The Inner + City council of the Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada, St George's Anglican and Knox Presbyterian churches, will conduct a seven-week marriage counselling course, starting Oct. 11. The course, Seven Building Blocks to Marriage, will be con- ducted every Tuesday evening, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m, at St. George's Parish hall. "Subjects on the agenda will range from courtship and en- gagement to pregnancy, birth and family planning," said pub- licity chairman of the council, Rev. L. W. Herbert, "Two lecturers for each les- son have been acquired and they include a housewife, law- yer, minister, nurse, welfare worker, and an insurance agent,' said Mr. Herbert. SECOND ANNUAL The course was initiated for the first time last year by the inner-city council and has been expanded this year to include all United Churches in Oshawa, St. George's and Knox Presby- terian. "We plan on making this an annual service and invite all engaged couples, young mar- rieds and interested persons," said Mr, Herbert, Marriage Course Arranged "We feel that it is a very beneficial service and will lend a hand to the marital problems that a community has to cope with,"' he said. "Tf there are questions that can't be answered immediate- ly, we will endeavor to get one," said Rev. Herbert. Registrar for the course is Rev. A, M. Butler, 1312. Minden St. Fees for the seven-week course is $5, payable the first evening. "This is a very beneficial counselling program and we feel that those who attend, will greatly benefit by it," said Mr. Herbert. REVERSE AFFECT The brief said * was there. fore apparent that a reduction in the manufacturing employ- ment force such as the layoff at General Motors could have a reverse affect on the work force outside of industry and the city's economy. : It is also pointed out that this cut-back in industry of such a great number of work- ers in one industry.could have a detrimental affect when the city is in the market for the sale of its debentures, since bond houses take a close look at a municipality's economy when an offering is made. The Ministers heard that sta- tistics reveal approximately 90 per cent of Oshawa homes: are owner-occupied, and it can be assumed many of the workers laid off at General Motors have obligated themselves in the purchase of homes, home fur- nishings. and other items and their financial positions could become quite critical. Ald. Christine Thomas and Wid. Clifford Pilkey made up the rest of the four-member delegae tion which forms part. of a six- member committee appointed by city council Sept. 12, to im- plement the proposals contain- ed in a UAW brief presented to council. 280 OFid. Sa. Starr Supports NDP On OTTAWA -- (Special) -- The government owes the country a clear andconcise statement on the Canada Agreement and its effect on the economy and on Canadian workers, Michael Starr, MP for! Ontario, said in the Commons Wednesday. Supporting an NDP motion to adjourn the normal business of Parliament to discuss the auto situation, Mr. Starr pointed out that in his own city of Oshawa many workers have been laid off at the General Motors plant. "A few weeks ago General Motors announced the prospec- tive layoff of some 2,600. I am told that 1,000 employees have} received notice to- this effect. Shortly after that announce- ment I understood that the) figure would be 2,800 and since| I have been informed by; authoritative sources that the figure will be more likely in the neighborhood of 3,500 em- ployees in the Oshawa area alone," Mr. Starr said. He said the auto agreement must be considered as a direct responsibility of the govern- ment because the government entered into the agreement with the United States rather than with the manufacturers. It was only later that the auto companies came into the picture. The stated objective of the agreement was greater employ- ment within the industry but the exact opposite is what had happened. He said discussion U.S. Auto: Debate of the matter could not be de layed in view of the increas+ ing unemployment. "We cannot remain disinter- ested knowing the axe is going to fall so far as many of these automotive industry employees are concerned," Mr.. Starr de- clared. 'Now is the. time for the government to come fore ward and give a clear and con- cise statement as to what this program is and what it will do to the economy and the Canaé dian people." Replying for the government, Liberal House Leader George simply been developing an argument' which was'a continue ation of an earlier debate. It was clear he said, that Mr, Starr was seeking to continue the debate under the: guise of a procedural tactic. "The member for Ontario has gone further and indicated he wants a concise statement from the government dealing with the layoffs and so on. If he wants that I suggest that the method to obtain it is not by way of a motion but by a re- quest that the Minister make such a statement on motions before the orders of the day," Mr. Mcllraith said. "We have tried but have had no statement from him," the Oshawa MP retorted. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux refused to accept the motion to adjourn the normal business and the Commons. went on with consideration of Bank Act amendments, --$710,000 more personal 'im | Statistics commonly used to | reflect the impact intetty has | | | ; --three more retail establishe Meliraith said Mr. Starr had ,
