Board of control yesterday decided to ask city solicitor H. J.

The photos show the now discarded plans to build a cen- tennial parkway along the Osh- awa Creek Valley.

Before making the decision Con. Ralph Jones said that 20 years from now people will be saying, 'how in the world did you turn it down'. Con. Margaret Shaw replied: "Aw go fly." Con. Jones later asked what the city would use to replace the lobby -exhibits. "Your picture", quipped Con. Shaw. Several Delegates To Support Starr Three of the five Oshawa riding delegates elected last night to attend the Progressive Conservative leadership conven- tion in Toronto, today pledged support for Michael Starr, On- tario riding MP and Tory House leader. Mrs. Betty Quantrill, Whitby, said, "I am not sure the list of leadership candidates is fin- al. There will have to be a lot of soul - searching before a final choice is made but right now my choice is Mr. Starr." Richard-Donald, Oshawa said there was no doubt in his mind he will vote for Mr. Starr, a former cabinet minister in the Conservative government. George S. Boychyn, Oshawa indicated his personal choice was Mr, Starr but added, "We haven't discussed this as a group and I don't know what Middle East War Reviewed Guest speaker at the final meeting of B'Nai B'rith, Osh- awa branch, Harry Pachter, third vice - president of B'Nai B'rith Toronto District, and commissioner to Israel, told 35 Oshawa members of the pre- sent crisis in the Middle East. Incoming president for the Oshawa Branch, Edward Wil- son says Mr. Pachtel told of the terrible time that Israel has had, surrounded by hostile nei- ghbors. In his speech, Mr, Pachtel said 'Israel stood alone for 19 years -- not one voice was rais- ed in her defence. She was threatened with extermination. "Choked and surrounded by hostile neighbors, she was econ- omically strangled due to the closing of the Port of Aquaba.

The other two delegates, Mrs. Ruth Bestwick and John Muha year, contains a "'lot of confi- dential information'. Mr. Williams said he was prompted to ask the board whether the municipal report should be classified material because of a recent inquiry he had from a real estate man whose name he declined to di- vulge. He said the man had a copy of the report. L. R. Barrand, city clerk, said he didn't think the report should be public knowledge. "It was given to board of control in confidence." He said if the report had been given to coun- cil it would be available to the public, APPROVAL The five-year forecast was approved by city council on March 1 at a special meeting called to deal with the board of control's recommendations on the report. Copies of the report were pyaced in t he hands of council members prior to the March 1 meeting. Eerlier this year a Times re- porter secured a copy of the report simply by asking for one, as a number were being dis- tributed at a city council meet- ing. In fact, at yesterday's meeting he wandered to the rear of the council chamber and found a copy on a window sill among a batch of legisla- tive agendas. Con. Ralph Jones suggested that budget forecast reports should be broken down into two sections -- one secret and the other for public consumption. were unavailable for although previously, Mrs. Best- wick had indicated she will sup- port Mr. Starr.

City Boy Found, RECORDS WILL BE SMASHED All previous attendance rec- ords will probably be smashed this year at Darlington Provin- cial Park. A park spokesman told The Times that from May 12 to June 18 this year more than 34,000 people. visited the park-- compared with 26,000 visitors during the same period last year. "Our total attendance is wa¥ up' this year," said the spokes- an. "So far we have issued 1,200 camp site permits, which averages out to about three and one-half persons per car. Last year during the same period we issued only 543 permits. "Our mail is on the increase land every day we receive a jereat many letters enquiring about facilities and mostly -- how far it is to Expo." The park, just east of Osh- awa, on Lake Ontario, is oper- ated by the department of lands and forests. CAMPING "Camping is definitely on the increase, but I would have to say that this year's influx of campers is due mainly because of Expo," said the spokesman, "A lot of people are taking ad- vantage of the camp sites along the route and saving on hotel and restaurant costs. "A large portion of these are from the U.S. -- in fact last year, over 50 per cent of our campers were from the U.S.," the spokesman said. Yesterday, a group of 375 campers from the Camping Club of Great Britain and Ire- (EDITOR'S NOTE: This tribute to the late Brigadier Robert Purves DSO, a com- manding officer of the On- tario Regiment during the Second World War, has been written by a comrade in arms, Murray Johnson, who Brigadier Purves succeeded as commanding officer.) Today, in the Military Cem- etery at Alliston, adjacent to Camp Borden, one of Can- ada's finest soldiers will find his final resting place, hav- ing been accorded all the honor and pageantry that can be achieved only in the ritual of a military funeral. We refer to the passing of Brig. Robert Purves DSO -- a gentleman, a scholar and a fine soldier who, though known in Oshawa to but a few members of the Ontario Regiment who had the honor and privilege to serve with and under him, nevertheless had a profound influence on the military history of Osh- awa. It seems ironic that today, Canada honors Brig. Purves in death when, within 10 days, Canada will honor his old Regiment in life when Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II presents the Ontario Regi- ment a new_ regimental guidon, which perpetuates the llth Canadian Armored Regi- ment which was so brilliantly commandéd by Brig. (then Lt. Col.) Purves. In point of fact, many of the Battle Honors awarded to the On- tario Regiment and which will be emblazoned on the new guidon, were hard won whilst the Regiment was under the skillful guidance of Lt. Col. Robert Purves. It seems unfortunate and CITY'S MILITARY HISTORY INFLUENCED BY BRIGADIER BRIG. PURVES «+. Former CO regrettable that more people in Oshawa did not have the opportunity of knowing this gentleman who combined a scholarly manner -- an intel- ligent and vigorous leadership in battle with a sympathetic and genuine interest in the well being of all ranks of his Regiment. And today, the present Regiment will be for- mally represented at the fu- neral by the Commanding Officer and his Second-in- Command -- his war - time officers will be represented by many of the old officers who served with him on ac- tive service while the On- tario Regiment Association will be represented by groups from both the Oshawa and Toronto Chapters. And so, we can only repeat the words that will be going through the minds of all his old-time as- sociates: "Sleep Well, Old Comrade." COBOURG A coroner's jury, enquiring into the death of William Burton Robinson, 607 Bloor St. E., Oshawa, ruled it "was by accidental drowning. The jurors recommended that motors and boats be power test- ed to each other rather than by the length and beam of the boat as is the case at present. Mr. Robinson was alone in his 12-foot aluminum boat on Rice Lake, near the Ouse River, when it capsized May 13. The boat was powered by a 9.5 horsepower outboard motor. In a second inquest ,also con- ducted by Coroner Dr. J. F. Leeson of Cobourg, which prob- ed the death in Rice Lake, May 20 of three Scarborough men, the jury recommended that life jackets be worn and not used as seat cushions. It also rec- ommended that stiffer regula- tions be enforced by the depart- ment of transport over builders of homemade boats as to their power and capacity.

Whiie here, they went to Niagara Falls and they left for a few days camping at Algonquin Park. "The last stop on their tour will be a four-day stay at Expo," said the spokesman. "Another camper we had was from: Switzerland. I believe that he was heading. directly to Expo," the spokesman said. Darlington Provincial Park has 50 full-time employees dur- ing the summer months mostly students, and during the winter, two full-time lands and forests officers live right at the park. "On Sundays, a great deal of people from the area and some from further away, bring boats into the park for the day when they come for a picnic," the spokesman said. An Oshawa delegation, led by Mayor Ernest Marks will meet with Toronto lawyer J. J. Robinette next Wednesday to discuss Oshawa's position in the proposed amalgamation be- tween Whitby and Whitby Township. Mr. Robinette has been re- tained by the city to present Oshawa's case at the Ontario Municipal Board's amalgama- tion hearing scheduled for July Tenders Called Harbor Project The call for tender bids for the construction of warehouse facilities at the Oshawa Harbor was announced today by the Department of Public Works for Canada. The tenders will cover the construction of a transit shed, 21,600 square feet in area, ad- jacent to the east wharf at the harbor. Wilfred Gillberry, harbor manager said today he hopes to see the construction finish- ed by the end of this year. But he stressed this was only a hope and he wouldn't know the duration of construction until a tender is accepted. He said the transit shed would probably be available for public storage early next year until the opening of navigation in 1968. The transit shed would stim- ulate increased traffic at the harbor by attracting a new type of trade not presently handled. The transit shed is the first phase of a two phase program to increase warehouse facilities at the harbor, he added. Tenders will be received until 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 19. The hearing before the On- tario Municipal Board was re- quested jointly by the Town of Whitby and the Township of Whitby. Report On Merger Key To City Stand Oshawa in the past has exe pressed concern and interest in the future of the Whitby Town- ship corridor land between Whitby and the city. NORTH OSHAWA 10. Mayor Marks said today Osh- awa is waiting for a report from consultants hired by the city to consider what affect the amalgamation would have on Oshawa. The consulting firm, Proctor, Redfern, Bousfield and Bacon have spent three months on the study at an estimated cost of $10,000. The report is expected in the next few days. Based on the results of the study, said Mayor Marks, it will be decided. whether or not Oshawa will oppose the amalga- mation. F. E. Crome, commissioner of works and H. J. Couch, city solicitor, will accompany Mayor Marks to the meeting with Mr. Robinette. COUNCIL MEETING Mayor Marks said that after the consultants report has been received and its recommenda- tions discussed with Mr. Robin- ette, a special July meeting of city council will be held to de- termine Oshawa's position in the matter, The amalgamation hearing will be held July 10 at 11 a.m, in the Whitby council chambers. Jan. 1, 1968 is the proposed date for amalgamation of the reserve fund $180,000 Board of control is recom- mending to city council that an- other $35,000 be drawn from the civic property development to complete a roof addition and renovation at the North Oshawa Arena. DOG CATCHERS REMOVE RACOON| A wild racoon climbed to the top of a clothesline pole in the backyard of Mrs. James Mulligan, 250 Linden St., and forced residents to keep their children indoors-- until city dog pound employ- ees came to the rescue. Mrs. Mulligan says that with the possibility of the animal being rabid, parents couldn't take a chance on let- ting the children out. The city dog pound--which normally doesn't leave the ground to catch an animal, came to the residents' rescue and removed the racoon. It was taken. to the marsh and released. The Humane Society in- spector, who would normally handle the racoon, was not available when residents called, town and township. Financing Recommended For Arena Roof Addition The $35,000 would be addi- tional to some $85,000 already coming from the reserve kitty for the renovation of the Non- quon Road arena. After hearing a protest by Con. Margaret Shaw that the reserve fund "must be depleted by now," the board generally favored the recommendation on the understanding that the $35,000 would be put back in he fund next year. Arena construction -- to in- clude putting a roof on the now topless structure -- is expected to get under way later this year and be completed by early 1968. Con. Shaw told the board, "when we say we are going to pay it back (the fund) we are not going to gay it back." She added: "When you bring in a report saying you're going to put it back, it's stupid. You've been taking money from it for months." She says she does not want to heap the expense of draw- ing from the fund--on--next year's taxes. Con.
