At its budget meeting yester- day, township council approved a bylaw that forces the Almond area tax rate to soar 19.95 mills, from 63.70 mills in 1966 to 83.75 mills this year for pub- lic school supporters. The Garrard Road area had a hefty increase as well, with the public school mill rate up 13.94 mills over 1966, equalling an increase of $69.70 on a $5,000 assessment. A new fire hall and pumper in the area are said by council to be responsi- ble for three to four mills of the increase. The area around Brooklin was the least hurt in the tax shuffle, with an increase to pub- lic school supporters of 9.74 Taxes $100 The township's -- industrial concerns are also feeling the tax bite. In the Brooklin area increases are for public and separate school supporters, 11.33 and 17.38 mills. In the Garrard area, industry will pay an increase of 15.53 and 17.93 mills for public and sepa- rate ratepayers, respectively. The highest single industrial increase is in the Almond dis- trict, where firms paying pub- lic school rates have had their taxes increased by 22.41 mills, with the separate school sup- porters being levied an addi- tional 14.34 mills, COUNTY LEVY The general county levy is up 4.23 mills, the high school rate up 2.54 mills, the township's general rate up 2.31 mills and road and bridges have risen 1.70 mills.

The mayor was told by The Times this morning that the OMB hearing had scheduled the date of the hearing for AMALGAMATION July 10, in the Whitby Coun- cil Chambers. "I hope we hear from our consultants by mid-June when they promised the report would be ready but we may have to ask for a postpone- ment of the hearing until council can study the report," said the mayor. Mayor Marks added that he City May Ask Delay believed council could study the report in a couple of weeks after they received it. The mayor said he had spoken to Toronto Lawyer J, J. Robinette and that Mr. Robinette had agreed to rep. resent the city at the amal- gamation hearing. He said he expected city council to con- firm the appointment next Monday night.

This policy was changed for 1967 when city council passed a motion stating that boule- vards and lawns disturbed by road, sewer and sidewalk con- struction be repaired in kind. On the question of resodding property damaged in 1966, May- or Marks said the program would be too expensive and time consuming to the city. He estimaaed the cost for sodding all bouleyards disturbed by 1966 construction would be a min- imum of $26,000. He also reported, considering the length of boulevard disturb- ed by road and sidewalk con- struction, a great deal of time would have to be spent in com- piling all the necessary data, dealing with the residents con-| cerning reimbursement and the necessary administration of the contract work staff. Mayor Marks said the city had an obligation to those home owners whose property was disturbed by construction and recommended that grass seed be provided for them. Oshawa's traffic committee last night, in an attempt to discourage overnight parking on city streets, adopted a par- tial recommendation amending the city's parking bylaw. The committee recommended that vehicles not be allowed to park on any street between 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the months of November to March inclusive, and'on any street for a period exceeding 24 hours, Deleted from the recommen-| on any road between 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. on which there is a curb and gutter. The advantages of the re- striction on overnight parking according to the traffic com- mittee brief are: GUN, TANK, VEHICLE DISPLAY SCHEDULED Guns, tanks and other military vehicles will be on display Wednesday at the Oshawa Airport, starting at 5 p.m. Oné of the armored displays (above), is a Fer- ret Scout car, the main reconnaissance vehicle of Canadian Armored units in Canada, Europe and the Middle East.

A city bylaw, prohibits the 700 Attend Ballet Show About 700 people attended the one night performance of the National Ballet of Canada last night at Eastdale Collegiate.

"Fire crackers have proven to be the cause of many fires"', the spokesman said. 'They have also been the cause of people losing a finger or being blind- ed. "They shouldn't be used by youngsters too freely, in fact, the best method is to have an adult supervise any youngster using them. "They are a real hazard," the spokesman said. "I have known of cases where young- sters have had a tooth blown out. 'Probably the biggest feature of the fire danger is the num- ber of matches that are used, the spokesman said. "These large displays of fire works may be the answer to preventing casualties - but these perhaps more so than the others, have to have a person that knows what he is doing to oper- ate them. "Fire crackers in youngsters' pockets are sometimes accident- ly set on fire and can cause severe burns," the spokesman said, "TI think that if every one exercised care and shop own- ers were careful with the sale of them, we could reduce the STREET DANCE PLAN APPROVED Council's traffic committee last night approved a recom- mendation that Metcalfe Street between Centre Street and Simcoe Street be closed on June 26, 27, and 28 to allow street dancing as a part of the Oshawa Folk Festival program.

Port Perry Community Me- morial Hospital reported today that William McDonald, 52, the driver of one of the cars, was in satisfactory condition with head lacerations and abrasions. McDonald resides at Lot 3 Con. 1, Thorah Township. The hospital also reported that Albert Drake, 54, of RR 2, Beaverton, was in satisfactory condition at the hospital. His nephew, Keith Drake, of RR 2, Beaverton, was transferred to the Oshawa General Hospital where his condition was report- ed as fair. He is in the intensive care ward at the hospital. Both men were passengers in the McDonald vehicle. Whitby Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police said the accident, which occurred on County Road No. 2, involved two other vehicles driven by Arnold Duench of Kitchener and Albert Harper, of Lot 13, Concession 13, Reach Township.

He said he was primarily pointing out Oshawa's responsi bility to East Whitby Township because, when the southern por- tion of the township was annexe ed by the city, it cut off the township's access to Lake On- tario and that access to the lake would be mandatory for the township in providing essential services. He said he was suggesting at the meeting that East Whitby would not have a_ perpetual existence without services and further that the northern por- tion of Whitby township might be in a similar situation if the corridor area was annexed by the city. dition.

This violates the existing bylaw. Robert Richardson, deputy c works commissioner, said one of the reasons for the bylaw was that the lighting on the mar- quees tended to distract drivers from stoplights and city light- ing. Mayor Ernest Marks pointed out the existing bylaw prevent- ed the Odeon Theatre owners in Oshawa from constructing a marquee at their establishment last year and considering the services the theatres and hotels provide Oshawa, he would not like to see it happen again, The committee recommended the bylaw be ammended to al- low signs with the purpose of identificaton on a marquee as long as they don't conflict or distract from street lighting or stoplights. The amendment limited the use of this type of marquee to theatres and hotels. It retained the stipulation that marques must be constructed two feet back of the curb line. Civic Pride Called Vital "Canada's centennial year of- fers the opportunity to get rid of ugliness. We can build a real Canadianism that will have a lasting meaning', said Albert W. Cane of the Ontario depart- ment of tourism and informa- tion in an address at the Mone day meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. The speaker, who illustrated his remars with a color film showing the extensive urban re- newal program carried out in Victoria, B.C., said a spirit of pride must be instilled among citizens and every effort made to declare war on dirt and lite ter. Such a campaign, he said, will be the cumulative result of individual efforts. "We must face reality', said Mr. Cane as he pointed to the fact that some slum areas are being replaced by housing which would ultimately deteriorate into more slums due to the public attitude toward dirt and litter. Shelter Plans Society Topic A general meeting of thé Oshawa Branch of the Ontario Humane Society will be held Wednesday at 8 p.m. Guest speaker will be Basil Caps, an architect who has designed most of the new On- tario Humane Society animal shelters, His talk will be cen- tered around the construction of a proposed shelter for the Whitby and Oshawa areas. The meeting will be held in the board room of Central One tario Trust Corporation, 19 Sime coe St. N. AT RETRAINING CENTRES ' SOME PERSONS BLOCKED ew Regulations Termed "Good, Bad" New government regulations on entrance requirements to adult: retraining centres are blocking _ some __ immigrants, widows and Indians in Ontario from starting courses, a_ re- education official said yester- day. In an interview, W. G. Faw- cett, co-ordinator of Oshawa's retraining centré, said regula- tions that went into effect last month are both good and bad. One main drawback is that new Canadians, single women and widows with or without one dependent, have to 'knock around" in the labor force for up to three years before they can qualify for entrance into retraining courses. As'an example, Mr. Fawcett singled out the widow with one dependent who has, to get out to work, but might have only par- tial experience in the labor force -- or none. In which case, the three-year requirement to get her into the centre for re- training is "just a little silly," he _ said, For new Canadians and the widows, it could mean financial stress, Mr. Fawcett noted. PAY CHEQUES Weekly pay cheques to stu- dents involved in retraining .centre courses are doled out by the government in the range of $35 (single) and $90 (three or more dependents). He questions why a new Canadian should have to have three years' experience behind him in the labor field before he can get into,an English lan- guage course. / The government sets out in regulations that an immigrant could have gained the required laboring time in his own coun- try, but what happens if a man only has one year behind him when he lands in Canada? "He would have to knock around for two years before he can get into a language course," says Mr. Fawcett. LOOPHOLE Another loophole in the regu- lations is probably of more 'sig- nificance in northern Ontario retraining than south in areas like Ontario. It involves Indians. Mr. Fawcett is not alone in 'his thinking that the erratic working habits of some Indians probably could not get them up to the requirement standard. "They leave the reservation for a few months to work, and then go back," he said. 'Surely we should be making special arrangements to look after these particular cases." About two weeks ago, retrain- ing centre co-ordinators in the province met in Toronto and recommended that government changes be made in _ regula- tions. It is expected the govern- ment is giving the matter new consideration and "so it may turn out alright in the end, Mr. Fawcett adds -- hopefully. Between 750 and 800 persons are involved in adult retrain- ing in Oshawa and it is not im- mediately known if the new en- trance restrictions will result in a reduced enrolment for the future. Mr. Fawcett says he cannot tell if there will be any great difference and that the local manpower centre would have a better idea as the program gets older under the fresh lim- itations. "It would be too much of a crystal ball for me to figure out," says Mr. Fawcett. GOOD POINT One major good-point in reg- ulaucns is that they eliminate high school drop-outs join.ng adult retraining to further their education at no cost. Before April, a student could leave school, work for a year, then get into a retraining course. Now, he would have to work three years in the labor force, It also would eliminate mare ried women with working hus- bands getting into the course to use up free time and get paid for it.
