St. Eloi Avenue, Osh- | (Cup to be received on behalf of | Annexation (Continued from page 1) act before action is taken on any such petition. Provision ' For Appeal Another provision of the agree- ment will see the City of Oshawa private act of 1922 which allows a water-main charge of 15 cents a foot against property, amended to allow farmers, in the event that they should be so charged, to' appeal to the Court of Appeal of the municipality. These provisions will probably all be contained in an agreement which will be appended to the pri- vate bill which the City of Oshawa will try and have passed by the Ontario Legislature at its next session, in February probably or March. There were nineteen people pres- ent at the meeting which was held last night in the board room of the P.U.C. building. It was prefaced by a motion of Lyman Gifford that the press be asked to leave the meeting which he described as "in- ormal." Mayor Michael Starr said that he considered discussion on the question of annexation, most of which had been carried out in pri- vate meetings, had reached the point where it was public business. He therefore had asked the press to be present. Mr. Gifford's motion was put to the meeting. It re- ceived only three other supporters. No Impediment Anticipated The agreement, which will be worked out by counsel for the farmers, Allin Annis, K.C., and the City Solicitor, T. K. Creighton, K.C, in the next day or so will be submitted to the Oshawa City Council for ratification at an early meeting before the end of the year, It will also be submitted to the East Whitby Township Coun- cil. No impediment is anticipated. Present at last night's meeting for the city were Mayor Michael Starr and members of the Annexa- tion Committee including Alder- men Clifford Harman, Harry Ben- son and William Duncan. Reeve William Noble and Councillors Wesley Powers, Elmer Powell, Neil Fraser and Norman Down were present for the township along with A. J. Parkhill, Township Solicitor. The deputation for the farmers in- cluded their solicitor, Mr. Annis, Everett Warne, J. L. Beaton, Lorne Thompson, Lyman Gifford, Mervyn Allin and James Wannop. Little Display of Temper There was little display of tem- per although at one point during the meeting discussion became a little acrimonious. Finally after about two hours' verbal sparring, it began to look as though an agreement might be reached when the city spokesmen agreed they saw no objection that the safeguards contained in Section 8 of the Ontario Municipal Act be incorporated. They agreed also that there was no objection té the farmers having the right of re- course to the Court of Appeal with {regard to possible taxation under | the special act regarding . water The only real difficulty came in Section 11 of the Ontario Municipal Act which gives petitioners, provid- ing two-thirds of them represent- ing half the assessment sign a pe- tition, the right to force council's hand in the expedition of local im- provemgnts. Mr. Annis, speaking for the farmers drew a hypothetical case of Maree ratepayers, two of them lot owners and one a farmer. It would be possible, he said, that if | all were assessed equally for the two lot owners to force the farmer to accept a great length of water main or some other local improve- ment adjacent to his property for which he would have to pay at the rate of 15 cents a foot. He would have to "turn his farm over to the city and run" after a year or so. This was entirely possible, Mr. Annis said, as farmers did not | have the ordinary protection of the Local tmprovement Act since the private act of 1922 abro- gated the Municipal Act. It could be a devastating thing for a far- | mer who owned a half mile or more of frontage to have to pay on the basis of 15 cents a foot. Negotiations Traced Mr. Annis traced the negotiations which took place between his group and City Council. He first appear- ed on June 27, he said and then got no satisfaction whatever from son of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Seles, 313 Ritson Road South, Oshawa. 2. $75.00 to the student obtaining the highést standing in the Middle School Examinations, Science Op- tion, won by GWEN PROUT, daughter of Mrs, Percy Kelly and the late Mr. Kelly, 77 Eldon Avenue, Oshawa.

This he did and the Board sent a letter to council suggesting that some "assurances" be given the farmers that the city did not intend to tax their long frontages on the same basis as city property for local improvements with the additional charge of 15 cents a foot for water mains. He wrote to council twice, Mr. Annis said, and received no replies. It was then, and only then that the petition was circulated which re- sulted in the filing of the objec- tion and the suspension of annexa- tion proceedings. The trouble was, retorted spokes men for the City Council, Mr. Creighton and Mayor Starr, that the farmers' committee refused to accept repe ssurances from council from P.UC. that they no intention taxing farm lands provements on the urban .property. No// matter what rs insisted on presenting extremely hypothetical examples for consideration. They were, to use the words of Alderman Harry during the meeting, "tilting at windmills and scaring at shadows". They refused to be consoled or to accept the fact that council was acting in good faith. The P.UC., at the request of himself, Mayor Starr said, went out of its way to pass a resolution making it a matter of policy that it would not extend services into agricultural property. That was not enough. [Negotiated In Good Faith "We have negotiated in good faith and it never was our inten- tion to penalize farm lands by taxation. There have been exam- ples in the past where council tight have done this. It never has been done," Mayor Starr said. "Of course councils change every year you know," said Mr. Annis, "you gentlemen might act in good faith but you cannot guarantee that your successors will not re- voke your acts." "By the same token," said an- other member, "can we guarantee that any assurance we might give you will not be revoked." to convince our friends of the good faith of the representatives of the two municipalities," said Mr. Creighton. "I believe that the ex- amples théy are using are extra- vagant and their suppositions alarmist, Local improvements, in any event, never go ahead of the demand for them. They are usual- ly, on the contrary, behind. We can't see what is going to happen {in the future and can't, as I see it, | give any ironbound assurances." | The time might come, Mr. | Creighton suggested, that a farmer might own an island of land, which through its undevelopment, would be hampering progress. The whole affair was based on mis- taken ideas and a lack of trust, Mr. Creighton thought. Wanted Assurances "That", said Mr. Warne, Chair- man of the farmers' committee, "was just what I thought. If a man decided to continue to farm, the only thing he knew how to do and the way he made his living, he could expect no sympathy from you when his land began, as you say, 'to impede progress' " They want~ ed, said Mr. Warne, assurances that they would not be charged for such statufery 'local improvements lighting, garbage collection. They were willing, in the event that services were installed adja- cent to their properties, to be charged local improvement charges on a maximum of 75 feet but no more. They thought that was fair. There was some doubt apparent- ly in the minds of the farmers about the laying of a heavy-duty | road along Rossland Road to the { airport. That doubt was dispelled by the Mayor and by Reeve Noble. The matter of the set-back along that road was ordered through the Suburban Roads Commission by the provincial government, Reeve | Noble said, and had nothing what- ever to. do with the city. The Mayor said that the city had no intention of building a road there, There was some talk about the special act and its uses. Most members of the East Whitby Coun- cil could see no merit in it and thought it should be repealed and the city operate under the Ontario Municipal Act. Final decision came after sep- arate discussions by the farmers' group and the councils. It was close to midnight when the meeting broke up.

A large table at the front of the church was generously loaded with gifts to be packed by the senior boys and girls into parcels of Christmas cheer. Carol Service In the evening a lovely sefvice of Christmas carols was enjoyed by a well filled church. The jun- for choir of around 50 voices led in the singing, with several taking solo parts. The 'Scripture lesson was read by Linda Clayton. Fol- lowing this the 2nd Coy, Ajax Girl Guides, brought their new Union Jack to be dedicated by the min- ister, Rev. A. H. McLachlan, B.A. The Company was under the direc- tion of Commissioner Mrs. Mary Sloan and Captain Mrs. Donna Godfrey. This was an impressive ceremony for the girls. : The minister read a Christmas story for the young people entitled, "Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh" the theme of the story being that "the giving of one's self in the service of God, the King, was more to be desired than all the fine gifts in the world." Mr. McLachlan has the gift of telling a story in a manner that holds his listeners with rapt at- tention. The Junior Choir was under the direction of Mrs. Clayton. A.R.A.

FRANCES CONANT Correspondent Ajax, Dec. 21--Humorous cost umes, rollicking jokes and excellent acting were enjoyed by the large audience who witnessed the perfor- mance of the Ajax Little Theatre's satire "Pulling the Curtain," in the recreation hall. Clay Boyes, who was responsible | for the clever costumes of the even- ing was very realistic as the ex- tragedian who lends his services to a small town play. Particularly humorous was his rendition of Marc | Antony in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." Betty Cook, as Leffies Jewell Hunderstine, the overly effi- cient club woman who undertakes to write, direct and act the leading | role in this play within the play was | excellent, Norma Slater and Don Curl as| the bickering young married couple portrayed their parts with profes-| sional airs.

ARMS Washington, Dec. 21--(AP) -- Charles E. Wilson today officially took over the reins of American de- fence mobilization. The former head of General Elec- tric arranged to take the oath of office at the White House less than 24 hours after the Senate rushed through confirmation of his ap- pointment. Already, in another step to- ward cushioning the shock of the defence build-up on the country's economy, the Gov- ernment had asked 250 large corporations to give at least seven days' notice before rais- ing prices on any major prod- ucts. The economic stabilisation direc- {tor, Alan Valentine, said this would give his agency time to study the proposals and decide if they were justified. If . not, the | agency could ask or order their | abandonment, .
