Explaining the work of the Planning Board since its inception * in 1947, Mr. Millman referred the members of the board and city of- ficials present to many gridded and | colored charts and maps placed | around the room in the P.UC.| building where the meeting was held, Much Research Needed These charts, Mr. Millman ex- plained, were prepared after a great deal of research by the mem- bers of the Board, himself and his staff. They showed the popula tion density of the enlarged city, the areas in which there were the heaviest assessment values, topo- graphical and geopraphical details of the city. They were invaluable he said, in locating and blending Health Board Budget Is Set At $46,800 The Oshawa Board of Health at its inaugural meeting last night set the 1951 budget at $46,800.45. Members of the board reviewed the e: 'imates, which were prepared by Dr. A. F. Mackay, M.O.H., and ap- proved them. The estimates will now go to the City Coun- cil for consideration. The 1950 estimate was $37,400. It was estimated today that the per capita cost of running the department in 1951 will be , $124, if' the present figures fx are approved, as compared to 1.26 last year. If the estimates are ap- proved it is expected 1.17 mills will be required his year, com- ~ared to 1.14 mills which were required last year. The population of the City has been increased by thou- sands by annexation of a large part of East Whitby Township recently, thus the scop. of the Health Department has in- creased, necessitating a larger budget.

By PRESTON GROVER London, Jan. 24--(AP)--Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower has completed his tour of Europe's Atlantic Pact countries with one sure finding. The job of building a defence will be brutally hard--but possible. This correspondent has made the same tour, covered the same countries, and has talked to some of the people Gen. Eisenhower has seen and to some he has not. * Eisenhower, pausing now in Paris before he flies tomorrow to Iceland, Canada and Washington, so far has presented to each country roughly the same proposition. He has told each one: 1. The risk of Russian ag- gression either by diplomatic pressure or troops, is great. Russian aggression means the end of everything western civilization represents. 2. The United States is arming, expensively and fast. 3. The United States will help Europe arm. What is the maximum Europe can contri- bute?

Many Living In Garages In Annex Area night' relative to people living in garages, Dr. W. S. Millman said: "We should be very dogmatic about the garage situation. - We should start off right." It was stressed that many families are dwelling in garages, mainly in the recently an- nexed portion of the. city. Dr. A. F. Mackay, M.O.H., warned "we may these places." "It may take years to remedy the | situation," Dr. H. B. James, chair- | "It can't all be done in one year." Neil C. Fraser, K.C.,, former East Whitby Township Councillor, ex- pained that a lot of respectable homes have been erected in the township by people who had to live in garages while building. "Housing conditicns have neen so acute that it was pretty hard for people to build otherwise," he said. Permits were issued to many former East Whitby Township citi- zens on the understanding they would live in garages for only six months while erecting their perm- anent homes. Some did not build and are still living in the garages.

Asked why the militury here and in Korea appears to bé taking a more optimistic view of the war, he replied: "Winter is fighting for us." He said battlefield checks show an increasing mortality among enemy troops from the bitter wea- ther of Korea, a rate great enough to have significant military im- portance, The officer estimated that the ratio of frostbite casualties to the Chinese and Korean Red soldiers as against those of U.N. forces might be as much as 20 to 1.

" NEHRU AIRS Municipal Board Confirms Jan. 1 Annexation Date The Ontario Municipal Board has signed the order con firming the previous order providing for annexation of a large section of the Township of East Whitby to the City of Oshawa, and definitely fixing the date on which the annexa- tion order became effective as January 1, 1951. This morn- ing, City Solicitor T. K. Creighton, K.C., received from the secretary of the Municipal Board a copy of the new order, which is dated January 22, but makes the date of annexa- tion retroactive to the beginning of the present year. In the new order, note is made of the objection made to the original * annexation terms by a number of East Whitby property owners, and the fact that this objection has now been with- drawn. In spite of the new Municipal ® Board order, which complies with the provisions of the Municipal Act, the city will go ahead with its ap- plication to the Ontario Legislature for a private bill confirming the | order and validating the effective | date of January 1, 1951, Mr. Creigh- | ton said. This action is being taken so that there can be no question raised regarding the validity of {| anything which has been done | by the 1951 City Council and | other elective bodies since the | beginning of the year.
