JAM BANKS FOR HUGE PAYROLL Holiday Period ~ Shopping Growd Swamps Stores Throw a large boulder into a calm pond and you will make a big splash. Similarly take two and a half million dollars in currency and throw it into the economic waters of a city of 40,000 people and, for a time, there is going to be a seething ferment. If you don't think this is true take a good look at the business section of this automobile city to- day and tomorrow. The streets are crowded with shoppers, the banks are jammed, the stores are fall, traffic is congest- ed. It all adds up to the fact that the holiday pay day is for Oshawa one of the banner days of the year; that the city's industrial workers, with a month's pay folded into their wal- lets, are relaxing in preparation of two weeks surcease from toil. & * Rent Freeze Order Ends Wednesday Toronto-- (Special) -- The rent- freeze order passed by the On- tario government when federal controls ended last April will be revoked Aug. 1, it was announced today by Hon. Louis Cecile, chair- man of the Ontario legislature rent control committee. Eight other pointé have also been approved by the cabinet, implementing recom- mendations of the committee. The announcement gave no de- tail on how maximum rents gen- erally would be determined when the revoking order comes into ef- fect. Exemption from maximum rental regulations is provided where landlord and tenant enter into leases of two years or more "for any rent or other conditions agreed upon". J Provision is made for upping of present maximum . rents where taxes and water rates have in- creased, and the rentals appraiser may increase present rents up to 10 per cent where the tenant is RENT FREEZE (Continued on page 2) HULL STRIKE BUS DRIVERS HITS OTTAWA Hull, Que, (CP)--Canada's capi- tal, across the Ottawa river, may not get as much work done in its government offices today as the result of a dispute that is tying up transportation here, ; The 7 bus drivers of th: Hull City Transport Company struck for higher pay at one minute after mid- night last night.

The several holes that were dug near thy west side of the Station Road and south of the Kingston Road, indicated there might be a suffi- cient supply for domestic purposes, but would not provide a good en- ough reserve to look after the ex- pansion of the village or the de- velopment of industries which might require a larger quantity of water. Furthermore the district west of the village is at present the scene of a fairly large amount of building and indications are that before long quite a large number of homes will be built over this area of ground. Since sewers are not available, and will not be for many years, the homes are supplied with septic tanks and tile beds, from which the effluent - finds its way into the ground. The soil is light, and is un- derlain with a large gravel strata. The situation is ideal for the con- struction of septic tanks, but if the water were withdrawn from the gravel layer under these circum- stances, the danger of pollution would result. The situation does not look very good just now, but the trustees of the village and Messrs. John R. Boyes, Wm. J. Bryant, Ross A. Mur- rison and Rosy Irwin have formed a Water Committee to further the Cabinet Seaway Verdict To Proceed Alone Or Not Is Expected Next Week Ottawa (CP)--Canada was faced squarely today with the problem whether she is prepared to build the costly St. Lawrence seaway and power project alone.

He was charged with manslaugh- ter. Kenneth Skinner, 17, told police he delivered newspapers in the four-storey building at dawn Sun- day. Standing near drapes in the lobby, he ignited his cigarette lighter for a smoke. "There was a flash and the whole thing went poff." Young Skinner said he was too frightened to sound an alarm, and continued on his paper route.

Spokesman Claims Reds Are Using Truce For Build-Up of Forces Washington (AP) -- An army spokesman said today the Commu- nists in Korea have used the time since the original peace proposal June 28, to "build up troop strength and move supplies and weapons" toward the battle front. In an unusual on-the-record statement read to a press briefing at military headquarters here, the spokesman also said that the Uni- ted Nations forces had foregone a chance to exploit a great tactical success at the time the Kaesong truce talks started. The spokesman said that since U.N. forces halted their advance in the light of cease-fire arrange- ments, the Reds have been making a "constant and continuous build-up of their forces. "Fresh Chinese Communist units obtaining of water for the village.and thousands of individual res placements have moved in. On the eastern-central flank a greater vol- ume of fire has been received and there have been heavy probing at- tacks. "All evidence points to a tremen- dous buildup of North Korean forces. A new North Korean Army | two to three times the size of that which attacked in June, 1950, has been equipped and trained by the Communists -and it's now available.

Oshawa's board of education yes- terday gave the go-ahead to a $180,- 000 scheme for the building of addi- tions to North Simcoe Public School. Members also discussed the possi- bility of the ereetion of a school, costing upwards of $200,000°for the Wilson Road area. \ In the present days of inflation and high taxes those prices are frightening. T . Times-Gazette today made inquries to find out how much of the cost is covered by grants from the provincial de- .rtment of education. "Those grants are determined from year to year and usually run out about 25 per cent of the total cost of building and equipping," said Gordon Bunker, the board's business administrator. "This year the figure is 23 per cent, That, as can be realized, is quitc a help on projects of the kind we have been discussing." Drunk Driver Has His Car Impounded Hailed into Magistrate's Court this morning on a drunk driving charge as a result of a three-car accident on King Street West last night was Jerome Strauss of 429 King Street West, 'He pleaded guilty to the charge, and when warned by Crown Attorney Alex. C. Hall of the penalty imposed for such an offense asked the court not to impound his car, as he was short- 1: going on holidays, he said. Giving evidence, P.C. Sears said he had witnessed a car driven by John Graham, 228 Johnston Street, when stopped ior a light, hit by a car driven by Michael Carlton, 384 Gibbons Street, which had been shoved ahead by the impact of the Strauss-driven car. There was some damage to all three cars, he said, but mostly to Carlton's. In his report, Constable Sears said that the driver Strauss was in an advanced state of intoxication. Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs sent- eaced accused to 10 days in county jail, assessed him court costs, and said his car would be impounded and his driver's license suspended for three months. * 'Waitand See' Says Howe Washington (CP) -- Production Minister Howe of Canada last night struck a cautious note on the pos- sibility of Canada developing the St. Lawrence seaway without Unit- ed States help. "We'll have to consider this thing carefully and wait and see what develops," he told reporters as he embarked for a flight back to Ot- tawa. Mr. Howe was in Washington for joint Canada-United States indus- trial mobilization talks. He said he was aware that the U.S. House of Representatives' pub- lic works committee, by voting 15 to. 12 to table a bill to undertake | joint development of the project with Canada, had the effect of "pigeon-holing" U.S. legislation. But he said the question may be taken up again at some later date by congress. Meanwhile Canada would study the problem of pro- ceeding to develop the Canadian side of the seaway without U.S. help. However, he believed it would take several hundred millions of dollars to do the job and that was a "lot of money." Canada would have to study the matter carefully before making a final decision, he said.

The board yesterday agreed to the medical examination which will be taker care of by Oshawa General Hospital at a cost of $1 per person. Only one tender was received for surplus equipment from the ma- chine shop at the Oshawa Colle- giate and Vocational Institute. The tender, from L. 8S. Tarshis and Sons, of Toronto, was for $150 and the board decided to defer deci- sion in the matter, A quotation of $214 made by H. R. Stark for the installation of additional radiation in Ritson Road School was accepted. Earlier a tender was received from F. D. Garrard quoting $470. The archi- tect was instructed to supervise the job. The Property Committee was given power to act in the matter of the installation of a sump pump at the 0.C.V.1. The job price was originally quoted at $512 but there has since been a price increase on the pumps to be used. Chairman of the board, S. G.

Feeling Is Too High Little Chance New Delhi, Pakistan (Reuters) -- A meeting between the Indian and Pakistan prime ministers is "ex- tremely unlikely," reliable sources said here today. Official quarters had no comment on Pakistan Premier Liaquat Ali Khun's approach to Premier Nehru. Political observers thought India would welcome direct talks between Nehru and Liaq ut on all outstand- ing Indo-Pakistan problems, but such talks conditioned on India's fulfilment of Pakistan's "terms" were neither feasible nor conducive to positive results, it was believed. It was understood India would not accept what Liaquat described as "the first essential step" toward talks -- withdrawal of Indian troops from border regions. Liaquat's move came in reply to a note from Nehru as tension be- Of Indian and Pakistan Prime Ministers Is Seen tween the two countries mounted again over control of the rich mountain state of Kashmir which lies between India and Pakistan, In addition to the withdrawal of troops, the peace plan included these points: 1. Both India and Pakistan should reaffirm their agreement that the dispute should be decided through a free and impartial plebiscite held under United Nations auspices. 2. Both governments should also declare their renunciation of the use of force. 3. Both governments should ree affirm treaty obligations to ban propaganda in either country direc- ted against the territorial integrity of the other, 4. Both governments should make a declaration that they will on no account attack or invade the terri tory of the other.: 1
