OR. ORR" City Council Reaches A greement 'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Operators Must Secure License From City Clerk City Council has, at long last, come to agreement on the matter of trailer camps within the limits of the muni- cipality. It will be necessary for all trailer camps to obtain a licence from the city, which licence will be granted only on permission of the Council. A number of alternative solutions &-- have been suggested since the question of trailer camps first came under discussion several months ago. One question was that a by- law be passed similar to that in force in Pickering, Whitby and East Whitby Townships which drastically regulates trailers and their location within the corpora- tion. In each case a specified area is designed as a camp and that only may be used. PERMANENT RESIDENCES Oshawa was faced with a some- what different situation. On King Street West, on the south side of the road there already was a trailer camp. In many cases the trailers had been removed from their wheels and were' being used as per- manent residences. Aldermanic objection to this prac- tice took several forms. It was felt, firstly, that this mode of diving was highly unsatisfactory from the standpoint of health. Facilities for- sanitation wereenot good and the camp, it was several times pointed out at meetings of city council, was hardly an adjunct to the beauty of the city. Another view was that the peo- ple living in this camp were using city facilities, streets, schools and all else and were not paying their share of taxes for the privilege. REDUCE RESIDENTIAL LEVEL Several aldermen took the view that the objective in this city was to have people own their own homes and live in them. In a city where 85 per cent of the people owned their own homes a trailer camp such as this was reducing the general reside level. These objections all crystalized into several stormy sessions after which, in each case, it was deter- mined to get rid of the camp. However it was felt that there were two things to be taken into consideration. Firstly no one wanted to work a hardship on the camp operator who, incidentally, promised to improve sanitary facilities in accordance with city standards. Secondly it was not definite that a city by-law could be made to stick It was not definitely determined whether the city had the right to forbid the establishment of such camps with- in the boundaries of the munici- pality. Passage this week of a by-law licencing and regulating camps was felt to be the answer, it provides that no person can place, locate, keep or maintain any trailer in the City of Oshawa except within a trailer camp and that such camp must obtain a license. Appli- cations for licences will be made to City Council and the fee was set at $25, In this way council is given the right to grant or refuse licences and so has a large measure of con- trol over the establishment of camps. New British Quads All Well Thank You Bolton, England (CP) -- Quadrup- lets, three boys and a girl, were " born three months prematurely Wednesday to Mrs. Hilda Wilkins, 36, wife of a Bolton truck driver. The quads were in oxygen tents and their condition was said to be satisfactory. Only four sets of quadruplets out of 19 'born in Britain in the last 15 years still are living. Search Ends Fear Three Are Drowned Port Huron, Mich. (AP)-- A dra- matic 20-hour air search for two missing fishermen, part of a four- member fishing party was dropped late Wednesday. It appeared that the treacherous winds and currents of Lake Huron had claimed the lives of three of the party, which set out from Lex- ington, 20 miles away. The missing men are Clarence Smith, 40, of Detroit, and Aubert Krass, 64, a lay brother at the Roman Catholic St. Joseph's boys school in Buffalo, N. Y. The body of a third person, Mrs. Muriel Koerber, 35, of Detroit, was washed ashore at midnight Tues- day. The fourth, Mrs. Gretchen, Davis, 24, was rescued shortly after winds upset their rowboat. Three RCAF Dakota aircraft from the radar and communica- tions school at Centralia returned to their base at Centralia, having covered the area of the lake re- quested. The, planes covered the lake from Grand Bend out to the international border and south to © .rnia. Speed Up Appointment Ajax Doctor Toronto--To speed up the ap- pointment of Dr. John Hall of Ajax as director of the city's men- tal health division, board of con- trel yesterday decided to poll mem- bers of City Council for their opin- ion rather than wait for council to reconvene in. September. Mayor McCallum said that while the board was favorable to engag- ing the 33-year-old psychiatrist it lacked authority to make the ap- pointment without council's ap- proval. Dr. Jackson, MOH, had recom- mended Dr. Hill be given the long- vacant position at a salary of $10,- 000. Con. Saunders, commenting on the fact that Dr. Hall lives in Ajax said, this conflicted with the union agreement which requires all civic employees to reside within the Toronto metropolitan area. "Perhaps we can exclude him from the bargaining unit," he remarked. There would have to be some such arrangement because it is impos- sible to obtain a psychiatrist, who lives in Toronto, declared the mayor. When Con. Saunders also raised the point that the salary recom- mended was much higher than that established by the civic wage sched- ule. Mayor McCallum said he was not going to agree to changing the whole system because of one indi- vidual. "We don't observe the schedule when it is difficult to get men for certain jobs," he observed. Blind Oshawa Citizens Enjoy Picnic Outing At Lakeview Park The downpour of rain yesterday afternoon in no way dampened the spirits of a group of over 20 blind citizens of Oshawa, Bowmanville, Toronto and Peterborough who as- sembled at Lakeview Park for their annual picnic provided by the Osh- awa Branch of the Canadian Insti- tute for the Blind. Through the kindness of Owen McCrohan, the picnic events and supper were held inside the Jubilee Pavilion where the sightless guests enjoyed their get-together and the program that had been prepared for them. It was inspiring to see how these handicapped people entered into the fun of games and contests, ind it was difficult to believe that they were blind people. They showed great skill in some of the contests, and there was keen rivalry as to who would be the winners of the prizes. The picnic was convened by Mrs. A. J. Parkhill, welfare convener of the Oshawa Branch of the CNIB. Mrs. B. C. Colpus, vice-chairman, in the absence of the chairman, Rev. Dr. G. A. Telford, assisted, as did Mrs. R. J. McConnell, convener of the sight preservation committee, R. E. Lambert and Lloyd Crossley, representing the sight conservation committee of the Oshawa Lions' Club, Mrs. R. E. Lambert, president of its Ladies Auxiliary, and Mrs. Lloyd Crossley, were also present and helped with the program. Officials of the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind: in attendance were E, G. Brown, dis- ARIE trict field secretary, Toronto; Col- in McEachern, district field secre- tary, Peterborough and Miss Em- ily Philpott, home teacher, Toron- to, all of them also blind people. The program in the pavilion opened with a series of games and contests, in which the winners were: Judging' watermelon weight -- Charles Lovell, Oshawa. Judging length of cord -- Miss Christine Dawnon, Peterborough. Balloon blowing contest ---Ernest Henry, Oshawa. Shoe-kicking contest--Neil Yel- lowlees, Tyrone and Mrs. M. Leach, Oshawa, Discus throw -- Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, Oshawa and Roland Cousins, Bowmanville, Egg and Spoon Race--Bert Hol- brook, Oshawa and Miss A. Bragg, Oshawa. A plenie supper of fried chicken, with ice cream and cookies, was served in the pavilion, and those oughly enjoyed by the guests. E. G. Brown, in a brief speech, welcomed all the guests and expressed delight at the success of the picnic. R. E. Lambert, representing the Lions Club, told of the arrange- ments for having a booth for the sale of work done by the blind at the Oshawa Fair. Mrs, A. J. Park- hill announced that the annual sale of blind handcraft products would be held in November. After a merry sing-song, in which all joined heartily, the picnic broke | up and the guests were driven ol their homes. On Trailer By-Law !

Apparently the chances are good for getting ome, if general exper- ience in Ontario can be taken as an indication. But, first, there are some things the smaller city or town must do, if it expects in- dustry to come a running and not give it the go-by. The Ontario experience, and some of the things that must be done, are outlined in the annual review. of the trade and industry branch of the provincial depart- ment of planning and development, submitted by F. J. Lyle, director, to Hon. William Griesinger, the minister in charge. For one thing, an area must make itself known to industry; and further, the review states: "It is coming to be recognized that industry will only locate in municipalities with adequate phy- sical services, good schools, ser- viced land for housing and im- proved recreational facilities." The report adds: '"Fhe popular misconception that 'most new industries land in the metropolitan area' is not borne out by the record of branch-plant es- tablishments (in Ontarin) in 1950. "Of 77 new branch plants em- ploying at least. 10 persons, or having at least 5000 square feet of floor space, no fewer than 51 chose locations well outside the metropolitan area. "A number of factors influenced this trend, including the availabi- lity and cost of housing and labor. Proximity to consumer markets will always be an influencing fac- tor in some types of production, and in heavy manufacturing the source of materials also counts. But, nevertheless, a substantial number of manufacturing enter- prises are seeking favorable loca- tions in smaller cities and towns. . "Industry is showing an increas- ing interest in the eastern Ontario area. This apparently is 'due in part to congestion in the built-up areas of central and southwestern sections, but more particularly to the regional promotion in the east. 'Some 32 municipalities have sponsored joint development with the leadership of the eastern On- tario associated boards of trade and cooperation of the municipal division of the trade and industry branch. One staff member now de- votes full time to assisting those active in the industrial develop- ment of eastern Ontario. "The progressive attitude of in- dustrial commissions and munici- pal officials throughout the pro- vince has been responsible for much of the decentralization of in- dustry in recent years." Of current ponditions, the report says: Shortages) of such base mater- ials as steel, nickel and chromium are being felt by those manufac- turers who do not possess defence contracts, and their concurrent pri- orities for materials. Restrictions on consumer credit have cost some manufacturers a ready market. "'Conflicting pressures are likely to produce a variety of results, in- cluding peak employment and pro- duction for some industries and un- employment arid loss of business for others. Companies beset by materials shortages have been ad- vised by the trade and industry branch to explore the possibilities of sub-contracting as the quickest solution to their problem."

The street dance and fair will! be held at Metcalfe and Centre| Streets with parts of both streets being blocked off for the evening. With everything in readiness mem- bers are keeping their fingers cross- ed and hoping that the weather- man will co-operate for the two nights.
