E. Lovell, chairman of the board of education told board of eontrol yesterday when present- ing the board's five-year capital budget forecast. Immigration was also another factor in adding to the total public school students, while the numbers of young children living in high-rise apartments in the Park Road, Wentworth Street and Highway 401 area meant that a special seven-room kindergarten school would have to be built to accommodate them. The capital forecast for 1968 and 1969 is as follows: Secondary schools: 1968, $951,- 000; 1969, $863,000. Public schools: 000; 1969, $25,000. Mr. Lovell said the board could not worry much beyond 1968. "T have no dea how they in- tend to handle the future if, as we are told, we will then be within a county budget," he said. 1968, $1,325,- nuttin ono Pn var $1,500,000 APPROVED Grant Given To Hospital City council last night ap- proved a $1,500,000 grant toward a planned $15,000,000 addition of 10 floors to Oshawa General Hospital. The money replaces a $750,- 000 grant the city endorsed for the project in 1965 when plans for a smaller hospital addition ran into an estimated $6,000,000. Taxpayers will pay for the new grant over a_ seven-year' period from 1969 to 1975-- with annual allotments of $215,000 for six years and one $210,000 pay- ment. Council cleared a board of control recommendation to make the grant after William Holland, hospital administrator, told civic officials that new plans are calling for about 280,- 000 square feet in a new west wing. Earlier, the hospital's building program involved about 200,000 square feet. Mr. Holland said the hospital would need approval of the grant in order to gain endorse- ment of building plans from the Commission approval {is ex- pected in about a month. June 30 and construction would start "roughly four weeks" later, Senior governments are covering about two-thirds of the construction cost and about $1,- 500,000 will be raised in a special names campaign in Osh- awa and also a public blitz. About $4,000,000 of the total cost involves fees, furnishings and renovations resulting from the new addition, says hospital board chairman, E. G. Storie. Construction will take about two years. The new addition would have facilities for an Oshawa Board of Health; research and operat- ing rooms; a coronary unit; a new emergency division and outpatient and x-ray depart- ments, along with enlarged physical and occupational ther- apy facilities and a new cen- tral supply area, pharmacy and} stores. About 200 new beds will Ontario Hospital Services Com- mission. be added to the hospital as well. Long Holiday Breaks Set At Major City Industries Long Christmas and New Year's breaks are in store for employees cf five of the main industries in Oshawa, Houdaille Industries is taking the longest break. Its office and plant will be closed for the five days from Dec. 22 to Dec. 26, and from Dec. 29 to Jan, 1. General Motors will have its office closed from Dec. 22 to Dec. 26 and-from Dec. 29 to Mr. Holland says it is hoped] -- the project will be up for tender] © "After 1969 there is a question mark. By 1968 we should be planning the next school ded lic school students during 1967 of about 700. "In the last two months, since for 1970 for 1,000 students, but it is. not reasonable for Oshawa taxpayers to pay the bill at this point." Replying to Con. Robert Nicol who asked, 'Is this the last time we shall see you?" he said, "I hope so." He said the city was facing an increased population growth for elementary and _ secondary schools and there had been an increase in the number of pub- a pened," he added 127 additional children have moved in, many in the southwest parts of the city. "Go transit and improved methods of commuting between Toronto and Oshawa are rapidly turning the city into a bedroom community, in some respects, of the metropolitan Toronto area." Mr. Lovell said it was esti- mated the cost of homes in Oshawa was $5,000 or $6,000 TYKES, GUIDES, COACH RECEIVE COUNCIL less than in Toronto so that people preferred to live here and. commute to their work in the city. "A lot are coming in over and above those predicted in pre- vious estimates of the planning board," he went on, "and you will be increasingly faced with the problem of educational costs because of this movement. "We have kept our capital costs within the guide lines pre- pared last year, but they have gone up some because of this new situation. "We are asking principally for On Pi RECOGNITION you to provide for the circum- stances that are here, not in ad- vance -- probably a little be- hind." He said that a new seven- room kindergarten was needed in the Malaga district where a unique situation had arisen due to the numbers living in the high-rise apartments concen- trated in that area. "If more apartments go in there we shall be in a worse spot,"' he said. In some cases it was intended to use portables until full pro- vision could be made. Some L INC additional quota would be re- quired from .the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board, but the debt charges for 1967 showed a de- crease over the debt charges compared with 1966. After 1969, said Mr. Lovell, the board just didn't know if it would be in existence and he understood the grants would be substantially changed and the problems would be county prob- lems. At one school, the super- visor's office was being used as a classroom. REASE IN CITY dent of public schools, said that public school students are in- creasing at the rate of 600 or 700 a year, which was the equi- valent of 20 classrooms a year. _If we did not have immigra- tion the increase in the public schools population would be about 200 to 300 a year.

In addition to its regular ap- peal for support of its fight against tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases, the asso- ciation is seeking financial help for a proposed 'drop-in'? chest clinic. Mrs. E. A. Collins, executive director of the Ontario County Association, says the construc- tion of the, 'no appointment necessary" clinic is expected to get underway in April or May at the Mid-Town Shopping Plaza as a combined effort of the Osh- awa board of health and the TB association. | Construction of the clinic was} Man Fined $15 Cigarette Sale A second conviction has rc obtained in the city police crackdown on merchants who sell cigarettes to minors in spite of the Tobacco Restraint Act.

Thirty-eight thousand resi- dents of Ontario County have or will receive Christmas seals by mail and are being asked to contribute to the fight against tuberculosis and other diseases connected with respiration. The campaign for $35,000 will continue until February. | Actor Robert Morse is honor- ary chairman of the 1967 Christmas Seal Campaign. Mr. Morse, who succeeds Merideth Wilson, Scott Carpenter, Betsy Palmer and Jacqueline Ken- nedy, says it is his hope to bring the ungency of the cam- paign into every home in the community. He says he feels strongly committed to the network of TB associations because his wife Carole, through medical care, is staging a comeback from a | bout with the disease. Mr. Morse says he intends to remind everyone of the need to replace public apathy about TB with unflagging watchful- ness and prompt care.

More than 18 million Cana- dians are ill each year for about one week from various respiratory diseases. SCRAP MOTION Apparently realizing the mis- take made, council voted 12-4 to rescind the traffic committee recommendation in favor of set- ting up a research body to de- termine if the land was the right site for the gallery. The decision to scrap the traf- fic committee motion came after Con. Ralph Jones said he couldn't see how council could make a final decision before the proposed site had undergone an overall study. But Con. Frank McCallum, contending that board of control was "quite happy" with the site, said council was '"'just playing around with a hot potato" and that '"'we should go ahead with construction." PARKING NEEDS Ald. John DeHart, member of the traffic committee, said the committee brought in its recom- mendation because of a lack of parking in the area of city hall and also because a_ '"'building of this kind (the gallery) should lend itself to better land use than that."

A little quiz game was played between board members and the commission which ran something like this: "Do you want to be in the bus business?" and "Do you want us to be in the bus business?" Commission member H. F. Baldwin said finally the com- mission did want to be in the bus business and regarded it as a challenge.
