Oshawa Arts Centre Jaycees Plan Would Include Theatre Conception of an Oshawa arts centre in 30 or 50 years time eibodying a theatre, a sym- phony and choral group and an art gallery was put before the board of control yesterday. William Caldwell, president of Oshawa art gallery, and Dr. G. A. Rundle, vice-president, were addressing the board on the progress of the recently founded gallery, and were asked for their views on the possible loca- tions for the proposed art gal- lery to be included in the city hall complex, also included on the agenda. E. R. S. McLaughlin has al- ready had prelininary discus- cussions with the board regard- ing the art gallery, which is to be donated by his father, Ewart McLaughlin, and for which the art collection of his late mother, has been promised. Mr. Caldwell said there was a need to establish a firm kind of confidence and purpose with- in the city of Oshawa regarding the art gallery and the arts gen- erally. "One of the prime func- tions we are faced with now" he said "is the development of tions of our society, Failure to do this would be a death knell to art in this town for a decade or two. decades. "A false start would be most hazardous,"' he continued, "'you either have a town behind you or you fail. He stated that other cities had made considerable contributions to be arts. The city of London, Ontario, for instance had donated $90,000. In order to sur- vive, the art gallery needed a strong membership contribu- tion and for this it needed the support of the city of Oshawa. It would involve a long and serious campaign and could be expanded into a $240,000 under- king. DIRECTION NEEDED A director was also needed who knew the job and could do it well. "It is a -tremendous under- taking and ideally, the director should be involved from the beginning" added Mr. Caldwell. Mayor Ernest Marks: "We have very little iti the budget for commitment this year."' Dr. Rundle said the need was to look 30 or 50 years ahead, an intimate Haison with all sec- Misled Over when Oshawa would have an Appointment Oshawa Firemen Claim Oshawa firemen appearing before the board of control yesterday claimed that Chief H. R. Hobbs had misled them over the salary to be paid to Capt. Bill Murray 'following his appointment to the new rank of assistant deputy chief. Neil Mallette, chairman of the grievance committee, Osh- awa Fire Fighters' Association, said when the chief told the association Capt. Murray was to be promoted to a rank equi- valent to platoon chief, he also said that title was not recog- nized any more and would be changed to assistant deputy chief. ; The impression was given that he would be granted the salary rate of an extra $317 appropriate to the rank of pla- toon chief, to which the association did not object, but in fact, Capt. Murray received an increase of $527 a year. Chief Hobbs told the commit- tee it was possible to have only Car Rolls Over, City Man Injured Othmar Augustine Telep is in "quite satisfactory" condition in Oshawa General Hospital fol- lowing an accident early Tues- day morning on the Macdonald- Cartier Freeway just west of Whitby. Mr. Telep received _undis- closed injuries when the Volks- wagen he was driving rolled over. He resides at 179 Har- one deputy in the force, but as many assistant deputies as nec- essary. They were in charge of four stations, not one sta- tion, which platoon chief would seem to indicate. The new title was a re-classification of the same job and an -evaluation of the duties involved. Mr. Mallette said his associ- ation did not object to Capt. Murray receiving more money, but did not like the way it was done. 'We do not believe this position should rate any more pay than a platoon chief right now," he added. D. A. Murray, personnel offi- cer, said the new rank was not a promotion but. a re-evaluation of the work involved. He did not see why if a man did extra work and was worth more he should not be paid it. Controller Ralph Jones said in his opinion, since it was a re-classification and not a pro- motion, and since the work content remained the same, he did not see any reason why the salary increase should be more than that enjoyed by a platoon chief. The board postponed consid- eration of the matter while Chief Hobbs obtained informa- tion from the Toronto Fire Department, When this had been obtained, Mayor Ernest Marks said he was not sure if the board had already granted the extra money to Capt. Murray. It was decided that subject to a check on previous resolu- tions of the board, Con.

Pentland, archi- tect for the city hall complex, was asked his views on the matter and said in his opinion the site occupied by three old houses on Queen Street, owned by city council would be an ideal location. Controller Margaret Shaw said she thought it should be in and around the old Legion Hall and the library, so that stud: ents could then easily get from the library to the arts centre. "There seems to be a definite relationship between the library! and the art gallery' she said. Controller Robert Nicol said he was also in favor of the Legion Hall site, which would provide access to two main roads. The board is to discuss the matter further with Mr. E. R.

CNR Contract To Gouldings Canadian National Railways has announced the Oshawa construction company of Gould- ing Bros. Ltd. has been award- ed a contract to build a modern passenger station as part of a $2,500,000 CNR freight and pas- senger complex here. CNR would not disclose the value of the contract, but one official has said the cost of the station -- to be located on Thornton Road South, just be- low Bloor Street East -- would be about $215,000 including property costs. The southwest-end rail com- plex is to include 14 miles of freight trackage, with a capa- city for about 550 cars. Construction of the station is expected to begin this fall and be in operation with the rest of the system by early next year, possibly January or February.

Travellers Inconvenienced A spokesman for the Ontario Highways Department stated Monday that Expo-bound traf- fic oi: the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway east of Oshawa was being inconvenienced by resur- |facing work. The two Ontario Provincial Police Detachments which patroi the section of Highway 401 in the area to the east of Oshawa did not confirm reports! of traffic being slowed to a} crawi, The Whitby OPP Detachment, which patrols Highway 401 as far as a mile east of Harmony Road, reported no problems in its zone. A spokesman stated that there had been no acci- dents as a result of the work, and only an occasional tie-up, caused by flagmen, halted traf- fic temporarily. A spokesman for the Bow- manville OPP Detachment, which patrols Highway 401 to the east of the Whitby Detach- ment's zone, stated that much of the construction work had been completed in its zone. He said that the Department of Highways was extending en- trance and exit ramps in the Courtice Road area, but no tie- ups had developed as a result of this work. A spokesman: for the Depart- ment of Highways said that bridge construction is being carried out all the way to the Quebec border but added that this should not impede traffic. NUDES BA TLD NNED F ROM CITY HALL = PL LU FENCE The board fence surrounding the city hall addition may end up rivaling the left bank of Paris. Board of control yesterday had a light-hearted session de- bating suggestions for decorat- ing the boarding which will likely become a major tourist attraction. Windows are to:be cut in the wooden panels for sidewalk viewing; a laminated board, 12 feet, three inches wide by eight feet high, is to be erected above, bearing a photograph of the completed building; and local art students will, be al- lowed to create works of art on the panels -- but all under strict control -- and they must supply their own paint. Deputy clerk Cecil Lundy, who happened to drop in at this stage with the news that collegiate students were will- ing, was promptly "pres s- ganged" into becoming the council's watchdog on_pro- priety. With cries of "No nudes on it," from Con. Robert Nicol, Mayor Ernest Marks conjured up images of Mr. Lundy wrestling with recalcitrant stu- dents for their paint brushes, while Con. Margaret Shaw thought the panels should de- pict a theme, and Con. Galph Jones submitted a funny face on the agenda paper bearing the legend "Con. Nicol." Earlier, W. T. Pentland, architect for the city 'hall addi- tion, while supporting the mo- tion that the students be allow- ed to paint art work on the hoarding, reminded the board that a similar project carried out on the site of the Toronto Dominion Bank at King and Bay, Toronto, had unfortunate results. "We must be careful," he said, "'to exercise control." The board deferred consider- ation of a memorial plaque for Centre Street United Church to be included in the new com- plex, and noted that the church bell was in storage until a de- cision was made.

Two Township officials, at- tempting to beat down a pro- posed $2,710 sanitary landfill fee to East Whitby for use of an Oshawa dump, told the city's public works committee the scrapyard GM uses is an eyesore and smelly. Township clerk M. W.

The industrial dump is_lo- cated just off Harmony Road North (north of Rossland Road) in the township. Howden says East Whitby does not use that dump, but does use Oshawa's general dump on Ritson Road, north of Taunton Road, Oshawa city council cleared a motion last March to bill East Whitby for $2,710 for san- itary lanldfil used at the Osh- awa dump. But Reeve Howden and Mr. Goldie, substantiating | committee carried a motion last night. It would be Oshawa's cost -- entering the second phase of an area waste disposal study. Main objective of the study, being done through the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, is to determine best methods of refuse disposals covering a broad area.

City council's public works committee last night approved a two-page engineering report for 1967-budgeted construction work on Bond, Bloor and Simcoe streets, and Park and Wilson roads. : The report, still subject to city eouncil approval, says the city's program -- amounting to road widening and resurfacing -- would be $25,857. The depart- ment of highways is footing a $14,803 subsidy.

A spokesman for Food Chain Properties Ltd., of Toronto, told The Times today the delay was caused by "general planning difficulties'. However, he said, construc-| tion of the air - conditioned | "Cross Roads Shopping Mall"| at Thickson Road and Highway 2, covering 220,000 square feet, will begin next month. Food Chain property mana- ger Alan Newman said the proj- ect is 'out of the dreaming stage" and final construction plans are now being prepared. A building permit has not yet been issued by the township as revealed in The Times, Feb. 18, 1966 At that time, the proposed area was expected to be about 180,000. square feet of store space. A company spokesman said at that time he hoped the centre would be open before Christmas, 1966. Plans today include a 125,000 Square foot Woolco department store, a 30,000 square foot Steinberg supermarket and a new 800-seat movie theatre cov- ering some 20,000 square feet. The number of service stores has been increased from 14 to 22 stores and Mr. Newman says stores will include a men's wear, jeweller, shoe store, dry cleaning, drug. store, res- taurant, barber shop, beauty salon and a hardware store. The mall will be located on 20 acres of land on the south- east corner of Thickson Road into the Oshawa dump--an in- crease over last year of some} $31,000.

AT A LOSS He said the township has en- deavored to control combus- tions within the heaps of debris --piled as high as about 70 feet including landfill -- but, now "it is absolutely at a loss to jattempt extinguishing fires." "(When it combusts, cerns residents in a motion moved by Ald. Nor- man Down that city council re- duce the bill to $2,105. Before the legislation was carried, committee chairman Bruce Mackie stipulated "'if we do agree to make a concession, should we also ask the town- ship to cease its objections so we could continue to use it (the dump)?" Mayor Ernest Marks thought the stakes would be right for Oshawa if it could buy peace with the township for $600. The general committee feel- ing in pushing through the recommendation is that it anti- cipated the township will con- sent to kicking in $860 for its share in the second phase of an '"'area waste disposal study." One committee member said the township has voiced some reluctance in entering the study's second phase--to take about nine months to complete and cost some $33,000.
