E. Lovell told The Times today. "It is certainly going to mean some extra funds to help the taxpayers, but how much I can't tell you yet," said Mr. Motorist Remanded An Oshawa man was remand- ed to Feb. 28 on two charges of criminal negligence and one of failing to remain at the scene of an accident when he appeared in a Toronto Court Monday. Marcel Thisdelle, 29, 234 Dearborn Ave., was arrested following the deaths of two per- sons in traffic accidents Feb. 18. A pedestrian, Brontislaw Du- bicki, 39, of Toronto, was killed when struck by an automobile. The car continued six blocks further and crashed into an- other vehicle, killing Mrs. Carol Cornell, 24, of Toronto. Raymond Cornell, 26, riding in the car with his wife, was criti- Lovell, who had read only the press reports. The proposals seemed to be helpful, although perhaps not as much to a metropolitan school board like Oshawa as to smaller rural ones, he said. The new grant system, an- nounced yesterday by Education Minister William Davis, takes actual building costs into ac- count far more than did the previous one. Mr. Davis said grants for elementary schools would increase by 50 per cent and for high schools by even more. Instead of paying a per- centage of an arbitrary cost figure as in the past, the prov- ince will pay a percentage of the average cost of providing school accommodation. Figures to be known as approved costs-- 90 per cent of the average costs -- will be the base on which grants will be calculated under the government's Foundation Assistance Plan. The cost of building a high school is about $2-244 million, said Mr. Lovell, and the Osh- awa board receives a grant of about 35 per cent of this, spread over the whole repayment per- iod, not as a lump sum. G. L, Roberts, superintendent of secondary schools, called the cally injured and r in hospital. Thisdelle, who has been em- ployed by a city firm for four years as a truck driver, was taken to hospital to receive treatment for a broken arm and then transferred to jail.

The new grants will apply to all school building projects given the green light by the established in the city about five year. The salary scale had been Childrens' School, endorsed the work being done among crip- pled children by the service club and expressed apprecia- tion of its support of the school building fund.

In an interview, Monday, Albert Taylor said if 'adequate manpower was placed on assembly lines there is no question about what kind of product" would be produced. He said men on assembly work now do not have the "proper time" to do a "100 per cent, A-1 job" and that it will be up to management to elimin- ate the problem. 'Our men are doing the best that can be ex- pected of them." SUGGESTION Mr. Taylor made his com- ments in connection with a sug- gestion made to a recent meet- ing in Ottawa of the Commons' committee on justice and legal affairs that the committee call on production workers to get the reason why so many cars are being re-called because of defects. The suggestion was made by Russell Honey, Liberal MP for nearby Durham riding, who told the committee in the last few months "I have had a con- siderable degree of evidence from constituents who work in the Oshawa plant that they are not satisfied with the quality Taylor Notes Man-Shortage control process on the produc- tion line."

It suggested Oshawa notify the town and the township that the city wishes to have notice of any application made to the board, Letters have been sent to the municipalities, said Roy Barrand, city clerk. Con. Robert Nicol suggested have a 100 per cent check on it "before it leaves the plant." and that an official opening will |be held later. Mrs. May Wallace of Toronto, director of case services for the Ontario Society for Crippled Children ,said 230 service clubs across the province have joined forces to raise this year's ob- jective of $1,400,000. This is $200,000 than was raised last year. She said the OSCC employs 34 nurses and operates 19 dis- trict offices as well as five summer camps where 1,200 crip- pled children were given a holi- day last year.

Centennial Park- way was studied by the traffic committee of the 1965-66 coun- cil which decided to proceed with its construction. On record as opposing last night's move are: Mayor Ern- est Marks, Con. Robert Nicol, Con. Margaret Shaw, Ald. Ern- est Whiting and Ald. Norman Down. Immediately after Con. Nicol made his proposals Ald. Bruce Mackey moved they be tabled until another council meeting. However, he withdrew his mo- tion, along with a similar one later in the meeting, to permit discussion on the issue. Ald. Mackey said the Centen- nial Parkway, more than any other in the past two decades, has caused more emotion, more press coverage and more con- troversy.

Down said council has the citizens of Oshawa on the expressway and should hold off constructing it until such time as it was forced to do so. He suggested the problem could be somewhat alleviated if more people would ride city buses and take the "odd car off the road." Ald. John DeHart said there were too many. unanswered questions on the parkway and that the traffic committee was best equipped to handle the issue. He proposed also that the committee meet with the min- ister of highways to find out "where we are going."

He said, on one hand we have traffic specialialists such as Nicholas Damas, Fred Crome, Robert Richardson, and on the other, 9,000 petitioners, START CUTTING Ald. Ernest Whiting said he didn't think Oshawa could af- ford to build an expressway. If it did, then the new city hall, the police station, proposed hospital and an old age home would have to be sacrificed. "If we're going to build this let's get out the knife and start cutting," said the alderman. Con. Margaret Shaw referred to "the people' and said she would listen to them. "In the midst of regional gov- ernment, amalgamation or an- nexation. are we going to pro- ceed with the expressway? Is it in its proper place?" she asked, The controller said further that Mr. Damas (the engineer- ing consultant who designed the expressway), only mentioned the "cheap part of the express- way" from 401 to Colborne street, during his recent re- view. "He didn't mention how much the rest of the express- way was going to cost," she said. Con. Shaw added that. the expressway from Colborne Street northerly would not only take land but homes and busi- nesses which would result in a the drain." he was opposed to having th COJPB handle the problem an traffic committee. ment of highway officials that afternoon and they said they would be prepared to come to Oshawa to meet with council and discuss the expressway. Con. Robert Nicol told council last night that a plebiscite had, in effect, been held on the ex- pressway. Outlining 15 points why the parkway should be scrapped Con. Nicol said Mayor Ernest Marks was put into office with a majority of two votes to one because he based his campaign against the expressway. "This, in effect, was the pleb- iscite that was requested," said the controller. Other points outlined by Con.
