Members of the league also agreed to keep a record of the time and serial numbers of all aircraft obviously committing infractions against the Depart- ment of Transport's flying rules. The league decided to accept a report from the city's traffic committee that a study made by the Oshawa Engineering De- partment had indicated no sig- nal lights were required for the traffic problem at Wentworth and Cedar Streets. League chairman Jim Feltis |was pointed out that in various Scottish cities with good street lighting it is against the law to drive with the headlights on. The idea is to use only park- ing lights within the city so as to reduce glare and reflection from store windows and other | cars, The Scottish experiment is strictly against the law in Oshawa. Next meeting of the Oshawa Safety League is on Oct. 10, and new members or interested observers are urged to attend, or to contact chairman Jim Feltis at 725-3533. Student Increase Amaze School Superintendents Dr. C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of elementary schools, termed the increase in students since last year "amazing". Both he and G. L. Roberts, superintendent of secondary schools, used the same phras- ing, saying the increases were "the greatest I can remember." Mr. Elliott said there are 728 more students in public schools than a year ago, and 525 more than in June. He said overcrowding problems were caused by delays in construc- tion of Lake Vista School and an addition to Grandview School. A plumbers' and bricklayers' strike has delayed the opening of Lake Vista until the first week of October. The Grand- view addition should be ready in November, Dr. Elliott said. The increase in high school enrollment, according to Mr. Roberts is 426, which brings the total of 5,259. His main problem, he said, had been a large number of grade 9 stu- dents at Central collegiate, but this had been straightened out. "The classes are now large but manageable,"' he said. A number of Oshawa Board of Education members felt the increased enrollment was from families who were working in Toronto, moving to Oshawa be- cause of the cheaper housing here. One member said a friend who was in the real estate business had sold 200 houses, and 150 were to people from Toronto. Board members expressed a fear Oshawa may become a "dormitory town" with people using their education system but not working here. Lunch Meeting With Heads Called Success By Mayor An informal lunch meeting in the library of the YWCA, Ade- laide House, between board of control members and heads of city hall departments was very fruitful, Mayor Ernest Marks said. "A number of interesting points came up," he said, "and we were very pleased with the result." Mr. Marks said about 12 rep- resentatives from city hall at- tended the meeting, which was preceded by a lunch, and was called with the idea of en- abling the board to formulate a policy for monthly discus- sions. Arising from the talk, two types of meeting would be held with the chiefs, in future. First, the board would invite them to future meetings of the board to d any probl THE ARRIVAL of -- 33 school children at. Cedardale supervised by R. B. Smith, superintendent of PUC.

APPOINTMENT The Oshawa and District Labor Council last night confirmed the appointment of three labor representatives to working com- mittees at Oshawa's new Dur- ham Callege. Appointed were Thomas Edwards and Keith Ross, both ODLC executives who will represent Whitby and Osh- awa respectively, and Derik Heasman, member of local 222, United Auto Workers Union, rep- resenting Durham County.

It will include the rank and file area labor force through their unions and locals. No figure was set for the campaign.

Lawyer Lawson will also be furnished with a legal descrip- tion of the lands proposed for annexation. Mrs. White, a village resident for the past 39 years, told council she had two or three prospective buyers for the land if it could be annexed to the village. She said the buyers in- tended to build some "pretty nice houses" on the 24 acres. REASON NEEDED Village Reeve Ross Murison advised Mrs. White that "a south and the Pickering High School to the east. Pickering Township on its official plan, shows the land as zoned agri- cultural, Reeve Murison said after the deputation that Jfrs.

Willey, president of Oshawa's new Durham College, to outline the function of the institute at the council's October meeting. The council meets every second tues- pretty good reason" would be day of each month. round today between General Motors and the United Auto Workers union in Canada last- ed more than one minute and 15 seconds, it would have been "too long" a labor official said last night. Clifford Pilkey, UAW _ inter- national representative and president of Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council, told an ODLC meeting he expected the parties would 'walk in, say hello to the conciliation officer and walk back out." The morning conciliation con- frontation at the department of labor in Toronto was the first scheduled since the parties started bargaining for a new contract, July 31. MODIFICATIONS Mr. Pilkey, also New Demo- @ratic Party candidate for Osh- vincial election, told the first fall meeting of the council that GM submitted proposed con- tract modifications in Toronto Monday. In one proposed modification, GM advocated an alteration in a cost-of-living clause that would have cancelled out a 22-cent-an-hour living-cost gain workers have picked up in the last three years. He said GM proposed wage increases based on curtailment of the cost of living factor. "The 22 cents. would be consid- ered as a wage increase under the GM proposal," he said later in an interview. 'NO TAMPERING' However, he said at the meet- ing, the union's bargaining com- mittee, representing some ra) dian subsidiaries, told GM offi- cial; at the master bargaining table "there will be no tamper- ing with the cost of | living formula." He labelled as a '"'myth' a reproduction of a Toronto news- paper editorial in the current issue of the corporation's monthly digest that says the union's biggest proposal--wage parity--is a Walter Reutner gimmick. Reuther is president of the union. 4 Mr. Pilkey quoted the editor- ial as saying wage parity would deny jobs to Canadian workers and then attacked it himself. "We don't think this will deny one Canadian worker a job, Our productivity is as high as American workers'. They said in his article that Cana- dian workers are doing 25 to 30 ductivity."' Later, he said, "this is not true; our guys are doing every bit as much." NEGOTIATIONS He said current are going along "very slowly, and are normal for this period of time. The Canadian contract be- tween GM and the union runs out Oct. 31, and hard bargain- ing is expected to get under way about two weeks before termination. "For sure, they are not giv- ing anything away at this point,' Mr. Pilkey said. "If a peaceful settlement is not pos- sible we are prepared to take them on," he said, referring to the strong chance of a Cana- dian-wide strike or walkouts in local areas at unpredictable intervals, negotiations FLOW Much interest. has been aroused among residents of the district by the excellent n ARDEN BEAUTIFIES flower gardens, featuring many varieties of dahlias, surrounding the home of Stanley Bagg, who lives a y i H ) ' Ss 4 ta qt twee nqa a aiaiaia Ga way ISTRICT HOME ed, has specialized in the raising of fine horses and sheep for many years. --Oshawa Times Photo OSHAWA D short distance east of the Kedron Kiwanis Camp.
