The property, now owned by Heber Down, will become a park and has been the object recently of much negotiation since the CLOCA first showed interest. Known previously as the Devil's Den area, the name of the park will be changed to Heber Down Conservation Area, it was revealed. The authority had held sev- eral meetings with Mr, Down, At first they wanted to buy only 75 acres which was all they said they needed, The 75 acres includéd all the creek-bottom land on that part of Mr, Down's farm, Mr. Down indicated he would be unwilling to part with 75 actes "and be left with an additional large tract, without water. He told the authority he would be willing to let go of the land for a price exceeding $100,000. The authority reconsidered and decided to take all 230 acres. Last Friday, after meet- ing with Mr. Down, the final price was approved by both parties. If the deal is approved by the Ontario Municipal Board, the government will pay one- half the price and the other half will be raised through tax levy in the participating munic- ipalities. he Oshawa Zimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1966 '@\ty-* The Ontario department of labor is giving priority to a charge that General Motors of Canada Ltd. is breaking a major labor law. E. G. Gibb, chairman of the Industry and Labor Board, said today prompt action is being taken in connection with a com- plaint made by Local 222, Unit- ed Auto Workers of America, that the company has worked employees overtime in excess of 100 hours a year without a permit. Douglas Sutton, first vice- president of the Local, and Charles Tucker,. a trustee on the Local's executive, met in Toronto yesterday to reiterate the charge before Mr. Gibb and four labor department repre- sentatives, The vice-president officially lodged the complaint with the Hours of Work and Vacations with Pay Act division of the de- partment a week ago yesterday. Mr. Gibb said in a telephone interview this morning that the company has a permit to work men up to 100 hours overtime but may not have one to exceed that privilege. He said a meeting has been set for next Thursday when the company will tell its side of the story to the labor board. The Local's complaint has arisen at a time when about Teens Shining In Chest Drive City teen-agers are going all out to help the Greater Osh- awa.Community Chest drive, A @roup of students from Donevan Collegiate Institute today presented the GOCC with a cheque for $50, proceeds of J VSL LLLALG =) 2,550 men are laid off at the, GM plant here. Mr, Gibb said the board is now setting out to determine if the company has actually work- ed plant employees over and above overtime allowed under the 100-hour permit GM now has. He would not say whether or not GM had a special board permit to exceed the restric- tiens of that licence, OVERSIGHT Mr, Sutton said following yes- terday's meeting that Mr. Gibb told him the company did not apply for a permit (one to ex- ceed 100 hours overtime per worker a year) due to an over- sight. | Mr. Sutton said the men in-! volved in the overtime problem are in four divisions of GM operations -- and doing both e Complaint car and truck production, The departments are: light reject, heavy reject, shipping and final-finish, Men doing material handling, inspection, and. un- skilled maintenance are also in- volved in those departments. "The purpose of the union's action is to provide employ- ment for laid-off workers," Mr. Sutton says. Mr. Gibb said overtime fig- ures Mr. Sutton divulged to him concerning heavy amounts of excess overtime were possibly incorrect to an extent. "Mr, Sutton's figures could be wrong because he does not have company records to work} from." } In the last two weeks, GM| has recalled about 200 laid-off workers bringing the working number up to about 12,000, | There is an old and well | tried theory that what goes up must come down. | When it comes to helium | filled balloons, however, the doesn't theory follow.

Week Of Prayers Held At Church A special week of prayer which started Saturday at the College Park Seventh-day .Ad- ventist Church will continue throughout the week with guest Speaker, Pastor A. C, Fearing. Pastor Fearing, associate sec- retary of the Ministerial Asso- ciation, says religion is "use- less" unless it makes a man, a better man in the home and in Settlement City hall workers local 251, Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees, last night voted 90 per cent in favor of accepting an 18 per cent pay boost provided for in a new two-year agree- ment with the city. "Contract talks started two weeks ago and were conducted in an atmosphere of cordiality,"" Donald Patterson, president of the 185-member (inside city hall workers) local, said today. He added that fairness but firmness exhibited by council's labor relations committee, which bargain on the city's be- half, expedited a quick settle- ment (13 hours of bargaining). The contract which termin- ates Nov. 1, 1968, provides for a 10 per cent wage hike in 1966- 67 and an eight per cent raise in 1967-68, .Wage increase plus improved fringe benefits will cost the city about $245,000 over the contract time. Salary hikes alone account for about $184,000 of the total. City Union Approves Per Cent Pay Boost Reached After 13-Hour Talks had asked for a 25 per cent increase and a one-year con- tract but were happy with the settlement. Longevity pay for by of service was not granted by the city but a decision for a five cent an hour increase in shift premiums, from 10 cents to 15 cents, was reached, said the CUPE president. Mr. Fatierson said the city also agreed to pay two-thirds instead of half the cost for group insurances which will now include the PSI Drug Plan. Both parties agreed to have the final agreement put into book form with the cost of pub- lication shared 50-50, The city hall contract was also discussed last night by council - in - committee and will appear on the regular coun- cil agenda Monday night for --" or disapproval by the city. * Council, a month ago, ratified a two-year contract with local 250, department of public works employees (outside city hall Mr, Patterson said the union workers). Russell McNeil, 68, secretary- treasurer of Local 222, United Auto Workers, today announced he will run for alderman in the Dec. 5 civic elections. Mr. McNeil pointed to a need to re-develop the central down- town area and indicated one of the first problems to tackle would be inadequate parking facilities. He said that as the city grows the parking problem becomes more acute and must be re- solved. The union leader emphasized the importance in attracting more industry to the city as a means of possible lower taxes, He suggested the city should take more care "'of its financial policies" which should endeavor to save tax dollars, "With the great number of people laid off, our city admin- istration has to make every ef- fort to hold the tax line," he said.
