Mayor Lyman Gifford, cele- brating his 62nd birthday today, said he was "thinking" of flying the Jack along with Canada's national flag -- the red maple leaf -- on the city hall flag pole as the Queen Mother passes through the city. But, the mayor said the Lieu- tenant -Governor's office told him this week protocol calls for the Union Jack to be flown on a separate flag pole and not underneath the. red maple leaf flag. There is only one flag pole at city hall. Mayor Gifford said his birth- day wish to Oshawa citizens to-) day is for "continued prosper-| ity'.

He said) the 'shifting' effect is greater on a small harbor like Oshawa's than it would be in either To- /|ronto or Hamilton. He said the effect is to make it even more difficult here to determine accurate depth from month to month. Mr. Ross complained today that the harbor should have been dredged early in the spring.

Causing all the dust and noise will be tanks of the Ontario Regiment. Sunday morning at 10 a.m., some 80 members of the Regi- ment will march to the CPR sta- tion where they will embark for Camp Petawawa. The last time Industrial Group Do It Themselves Oshawa's Industrial Commis- sion voted Wednesday to buy a polaroid camera for publicity use, The need for quick and effec- tive publicity shots was empha- sized by Industrial Commission- er James Williams who said that his work was hampered by lack of professional photograph- ers. "It takes lots of time and money to hire a_ professional photographer to take pictures," he said. "It would be cheaper, quick- er and easier if we bought a polaroid camera costing around $90. I investigated recently and found that we were sending out pictures taken about seven years ago of Oshawa industrial sites in response to inquiries. "Why don't we hire a profes- sional photographer on a retain- er basis," quipped Chairman Maurice Hart. "At $125 daily," added Commissioner Keith Ross. the Regiment was there as a unit was July, 1957. Every member of the Regi- ment who is going for the eight-day exercise "Mail Train I" is enthusiastic. The camp provides the best ground facil- ities for full-scale training to be found in the province, with broad expanses of open country for troop and squadron man- oeuvring, and plenty of wooded areas for concealed "hides" and battle positions. : When armored. regiments were given the National Sur- vival roel, use of tank training camps like Petawawa ceased. The Ontario Regiment, along with other units in 15 Militia Group, were sent for their an- nual summer camps to Camp Niagara, a postage-stamp sized lot of ground that has been used by militia units since 1866. Find- ing Niagara utterly useless for anything but the most rudiment- ary of troop tactics, members of the Ontario Regiment longed for the day when they would re- turn to the broad expanses of Camp Petawawa. The time has come. Members of the Regiment will march to the CPR station as members of troops they will be training with for the next eight days.

George Brooks, union president, branded the ment as "utter nonsense." Five hundred plant workers walked off their jobs yesterday to back up contract demands. The company has proposed the installation of job record- ers. Mr. Brooks says the record- ers would register on a graph the complete movements of the) worker from the start of his work day to the end. Mr. Wogden said the record- ers would be used to give a better count on the machines and to tell how much time a machine has been shut down. Mr. Brooks said the record- ers would turn the men into robots and tell how long they spent at lunch, in the wash- room or talking to fellow em- ployees. Both union and company do a on one thing however, tem based on a_ time Survey." The union agrees with this in local|principal, but claims that the state-|time study system suggested by |the company does not leave jenough allowances for the men. Another item that no agree- ment has been reached on is jrecorders on the machines. "These recorders," Mr. Wog- 'den says, "would be used to jgive a better count on the ma- jchines and to tell how much time a machine has been shut down." "Not so," says George Brooks, "these little machines would turn the man into a robot, they would tell how long he has been at lunch, how long at the washroom, and how long he has spent talking to the man next to him. "These recorders and the pro- posed time study system would in fact turn the plant into a sweat shop." that they study by over 30 per cent." Mr. Wogden says that the in- crease in productivity and labor costs has made this stand nec- essary. "This is the reason we have made the demands on the union, if the wages are higher, the production costs are higher, but the productivity is no high- er, then we must find a way jto get these costs: back." "What the union forgets is that we are only the fifth rank- ing rubber company in Can- ada, and because in the past we have led in wages we must still be the leader." "In return for these demands, we are willing to make conces- sions in the other fields," Mr Wogden said. The company is willing to make settlement on the con- |tract, the wages and Supple- mental Unemployment Benefits which have all expired.

Thursday a $220,000 public subscription campaign will be conducted during the last two weeks of July. In addition to the regular pool, a wading pool for children will be included in the building. Auditorium board of directors previously told city council they would raise up to $150,000 for the pool project. Mr. Kelly said the additional $70,000 required is due mainly to the inclusion of a wading pool for children, includ- ing crippled children, "Tt will be an extremely valu- able feature,"' said Mr. Kelly. A $186,000 Centennial grant, split evenly by the city, the pro- vincial and -federal govern- ments, will make up the $400,- 000 required, KICKOFF SEEN E. R. &.

"The plans will be a splendid kickoff for the pool fund-raising campaign," he said. It was revealed at the meeting that plans call for a 25-meter pool to be built onto the south end of the existing building and that above the pool on a second floor, an observation area and such things as steam baths will be located. Mr. Kelly said certain prob- lems prevent canvassing Gen- eral Motors employees to extend their pledges one year for the swimming pool project.

At the annual meeting of the auditorium corporation Thurs- day a motion was passed that a committee is prepared to meet with city council, at its request, to discuss the possible con- struction of the recreation de- partment. building at the audi- torium site. Ald. Christine Thomas raised the possibility at yesterday's meeting when she said the present Gibb st., recreation building is "practically falling down." She said the audi- torium is not too far away from the present building. Ald. Thomas said the city has many financial problems but the financing of a new recreation building could be investigated. _"Council's going to have to find the money to replace the present building eventually," reation -- Foreseen year capital forecast budget in April, included $200,000 in the 1965 budget for a new recrea- tion building. At that time Ald.

McLaughlin, chair- man of the board of directors, said the auditorium committee is 100 percent in favor of having the recreation building at the auditorium site.
