The coat of arms con- forms to heraldic rules and efforts city council on May 5, an identity all of! , He went before city council 1952 adopted a design drawn by Miss Joan Brook of Pickering. Mr. Creighton recently re- counted, "'the old coat of arms was a collection of odds and ends, including a piano and a car. The design was supposed to represent the various indus- tries found in Oshawa at the time. "I decided to revise the coat of arms and bring it up to date." The design, adopted by the 1952 council, is found on today's coat of arms and city seal. The shield itself is three dimension- al in effect and conforms to heraldic rules. The top third of the three sectioned design shows three interlocking gears indicating co-operation and working together. .The middle of the shield is divided by two wavy lines rep- resenting the fact that Oshawa is situated on water. Inside these lines are found three transportation symbols. A ship signifying Oshawa Harbor, a winged wheel representing land transportation and a bird indi- cating the Oshawa Airport. The last section of the shield shows three maple leaves sym- bolizing Ontario and the feder- ation of Canada. At the bottom of the shield is the city's motto: Labor and Prosper. This design was addéd to the city seal soon after council adoption. Besides the coat of arms the seal carries three dates -- 1850, 1879 and 1924 -- the years during which Oshawa was incorporated as a village, town and city. An impression of the seal is made upon all legal documents authorized by council and carrying the signatures of the mayor and city clerk or city treasurer. CIVIC FLOWER On March 9, 1953, council adopted the rose as Oshawa"s civic flower. The rose was de- cided upon in accordance with a request by the Oshawa Hor- ticultural Society, and it was agreed that the rose could be of any color. Roy Barrand, city clerk thinks the lack of a def- inite color for the civic flower is probably due to the fact that Oshawa is one of the few cities in Ontario without city colors. The city hall displays the rose in a number of locations around the civic square property. CHAIN OF OFFICE The latest addition to city hall is the new chain of office which was inaugurated this year to commemorate the 1967 centen- nial year and to mark the 43rd anniversary of Oshawa as a city. The chain which is valued at $2,000 was presented to the city by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce as a centennial proj- ect. The chamber also present- ed the city with its first chain of office in 1952. The 40-inch chain consists of a pendant bearing the coat of arms of the city surrounded by a maple leaf design. Also in- cluded are the civic mural crown and the civic flower, the rose. In the lower portion of the pendant there is an inscrip- tion bearing the words: "The City of Oshawa'. "O" LINKS Two small "'o" links adjoin- ing the pendant stand for "'Osh- awa, Ontario". The remainder of the chain is made up of a repetition of garter links con- taining the gear wheel, the rose, maple leaf and bird motifs. The garter links are inter- spersed with links, similar in shape to the pendant, sur- mounted by crowns, and con- taining the winged wheel and the anchor motif (the anchor representing Oshawa's connec- tion with water). NINE-CARAT The design for the nine-carat chain lay in the files at city was used. According te city clerk, Roy Barrand, former Mayor Lyman Gifford once thought he had lost the old chain of office and instructed Mr. Barrand to order a new one at the mayor's expense. Designs were sought and ob- tained from London, England, but in the meantime the chain of office was found. Mr. Bar- rand kept the designs in his of- fice until this year when the Chamber of Commerce settled on the idea of purchasing a new chain for its centennial project. hall Mr. Barrand was prepared with the designs. Mayor Ernest Marks wears the chain of office at meeting of city council. Be- cause of its value the chain is 'kept locked up at all other times. But it may be seen upon special request and perhaps on Special occasions. The old chain of office which is less ornate and symbolic than the new one is being kept at city hall as a memento, AT CITY HALL The coat of arms found on the chain of office, the city seal, as well as hanging in- dividually in the city hall coun- cil chambers conforms to her- aldic rules. In heraldry there are definite rules to follow re- garding color and placing of symbols. The choice of colors is limited and in heraldic de- sign it is not permitted to place one color upon another. The governing rule is color on metal, usually gold or silver, or metal on color.

In some cases this may have been loft over the years, but in many others it is possible to trace the mean- ing of a place name. You live in "beautiful lake" province - for that is the mean- ing of the Indian word "Ontar- io". Canada itself is believed on - Iroquois word for Village. When Jacques Cartier arriv- ed at Quebec, he was welcom- ed by the Indian Chief Donna- cona, who pointed to the land around him and called it Kanat. The chief was probably indicat- ing only the Indian village, but Cartier thought he meant the vast unexplored territory itself and the word Kanata soon be- came Canada. Quite a size for a "village"! CROSSING STREAM As you might guess, Oshawa is also an Indian name. It means the "crossing of a stream", It was suggested by an Indian chief when Oshawa was incorporated as a village in 1850. - Prior to that the Four Corn- ers district was known as In a local history by J.

HMS Ajax which helped destroy the German pocket battleship the "Graf Spee" in the Battle of the River Plate. A huge shell - filling plant was located on the town site during the last war. BORROWED Several municipalities in this area - Whitby, Pickering, and Scarborough - apparently bor- 'rowed the names of towns in Yorkshire, northern England. But these were not the origin- al names. Scarborough was once known as Glasgow and Pickering Town- ship was also called Glasgow or Edinburgh. According to the diary kept by Lieut. Governor Simeoe's wife in 1793, the name Scarborough was adopted in August, 1793 because the chalky cliffs were reminiscent of the English coast. ; Whitby was known as Perry's Corners, Radical Corners and Windsor, after the town in south ern England. The name was changed fo avoid confusion with another Ontario town, now the City of Windsor. Whitby Township was once called Norwich, and, according to Ottawa records. and an old city map, Pickering Village was formerly dubbed Canton. In 1956 the name Pickering was established, but historians are not sure of the reason for this. Early settlers of Bowmanville could understandably have had some confusing moments. Or- iginally the area was called once owned the land, one Au- gustus Barber. Then it was known as Darlington Mills, un- til 1823, when it was named man family. This was because about this | time Charles Bowman, who hailed from Arbroath, Scotland, bought the estate which com- prises the principal site of the! town. Bowmanville had been incor- porated as a village in 1853, and became a town five years later. FAMOUS GENERAL Several townships and villag- es in Ontario County were named after distinguished peo- pl. Brock Township, survyd in 1817, was named after the famous general, hero of Queen- ston Heights. Cartwright was a compliment to Richard Cartwright of Kings- ton, who had a seat in the legislative council before his death in 1815, and Dunbarton was named after its founder William Dunbar, a Scot who lived from 1786 - 1869. Scott was named after Chief Justice Scott of Peterborough, Justice Scott of Peterborough, the Archives office in Parlia- ment buildings suggests. Broug- ham derives its name from Lord Brougham.

Cavan, which like Cartwright was called after the county of land. The township of Mara der- ives its name from rather more exotic sources - the word comes from the Spanish' language. VILLAGE BROOK Brooklin got its name in 1864, presumably from the brook run- ning through the village. But it too was known to early set- tlers by a different name - Win- chester. In 1840 there were just four log cabins there, occupi- ed by families called McGee, Campbell, Way and Hepenstal. About a century ago Colum- bus was called 'English Corn- ers" because the homeland of most of its pidneer residents was England. The name was changed in 1850, when a post office was established there, but why "Columbus" was picked seems to be a mystery.

The three firms visited by the |delegation were: Stark Elec- tronics, Fledco Concrete and Centennial Warehouse. The state operation directed by Mr. Etmekdzniyan is in con- trol of state-owned construction and is responsible for between 80 and 150 billion dollars worth of construction annually. The delegation will return te the U.S.S.R. on Monday. GM Buys Machines General Motors of Canada Ltd. have recently purchased two large Natco plastics injec- tion moulding machines from Danson Corporation Limited in Don Mills. These machines form the nu- cleus of a new plastics opera- tion in the Oshawa plant to supply moulded parts for Can- adian and U.S. requirements under the Automotive Trade agreement. While this is G.M.'s first plastics operation in Can- ada, they have large plastic moulding plants in the U.S. This move is prompted by the increasing use of plastics in the automotive industry. Some 60 Ibs. of plastic per car is the present average. The rapid increase of plastics applications is expected to push this figure beyond the 125 lb. mark by 1970. It is not expected that this move will reduce the an-ount of moulding G. M. places with custom moulders throughout the country. The new move is in- tended to integrate some of the expansion into G.M.'s own fac- ilities. The Natco machines are 450 ton clamp machines with 35 oz. shot capacity and weigh some twenty - seven tons apiece. They are built in Richmond In- diana, and are exclusively sold in Canada by the Danson or- ganization, : Complementing these large machines .are two high speed Canadian built Husky injection moulding machines and three verticle Moslo machines for cord - set work.
