AJAX & DISTRICT NEWS John Mills, Representative -- Phone Ajax 426 | Lose Little Time Starting School AJAX -- (Times-Gazette Staff Reporter) -- The Hughes Con- struction Company has lost no time in preparing the site for the new elementary school in Ajax. Only last week the site was oc- cupied by part of one of the old wartime dormitories. Wreckers re- moved this building. and today a big earth moving machine pulled _ in and in a few short hours ef- fected a complete transformation. Associate architect Mr. Bain is also busy on the job with assis- tants, supervising the sitting of the grades. FINISHED IN DECEMBER The work of building the new school will be pressed on to a tar- date for completion in Decem- T. The foundations for the addition to the old school, in north Ajax, have been poured and this project will be completed ready for school in September. These two projects mark only a beginning in the erection of new bs i here. Before the elemen- tary school is completed, pla s must be made to build an 'eight- room senior school which will be required by September, 1954. PLAN HIGH SCHOOL Simultaneously with the project work will be started on a new high school here which will be a duplication of the first section of the High School in Pickering. The cost of the new high school is estimated at $510,000. The Pick- ering and District High School will be filled to capacity when it opens in September. Present enrolment fi s for all grades make it possible to estim- ate the increased accommodation required, but does not take into consideration the number of pupils who will come into the district as residential construction continues. The number of new homes in the district under construction and contemplated is on the increase. Ajax Plants On Holiday AJAX -- (Times-Gazette Staff Reporter) -- Several Ajax indus- tries have closed completely to give their employees a holiday. Cambri Manufacturing, is closed as is Monarch Knitting. Next week Dowty Equipment Co. will close but not entirely as some of the staff will remain to assist in the task of moving equipment to the new factory on the Slough Estate site. The number of construction jobs underway here has absorbed just about all the local laborers and contractors are advertising = for help. Ships Off Killed 9% OTTAWA (CP)--More than 3,500 officers and men of the Royal Canadian Navy gained battle ex- perience in Korea aboard the eight destroyers Canada placed on duty at various times in the Far Eastern battle zone, the navy said this week. Two of the three destroyers now in the Far East are on standby duty following the signing of the Korean armistice. The other ves- sel, the Huron, is being repaired in a Japanese shipyard after run- ning aground on July 12. A navy statement said the ves- sels are still under United Nations orders "and will continue on duty until the need for them no longer remains." The future activities of the ships "rests on the outcome of the political conference called for in the armistice terms." The navy said Canadian de- stroyers today rounded out a full three years of duty in the Korean theatre as members of the United Korea Trains Nations naval forces. The eight ro- tated so that there were usually three on duty. More than 800 officers and men remain on duty as members of the ships' companies of the destroyers Iroquois, Athabaskan and Huron. The Athabaskan was among the three original destroyers which sailed from Canada July 5, 1950, 10 days after the outbreak of the Korean war. The destroyers which served in Korean waters "achieved some notable records," the navy said, the most spectacular being their success as "train-busters." They destroyed 9% Communist trains. The destroyers covered landings and withdrawals, bombarded Com- munist shore positions and troops, screened aircraft carriers, de- stroyed enemy mines and aided and protected UN-held North Kor- ean islands. Their duties often took them into hazardous, poorly- charted waters within range of enemy shore batteries, Frost Replies To Council WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--Premier Frost said Friday the "succeSs which has attended the labor de- partment's industrial and labor relations comes from the fact the department offers a medium through which the disputants may come together in an impartial at- mosphere and impartially bar- ai." = comment was contained in a letter sent in reply to a city council resolution urging Mr. Frost to call a meeting of interested mayors in Western Ontario in an attempt to settle the strike of some 1,500 truck drivers. Mr. Frost said he forwarded council's resolution te Labor Min- ister Charles Daley. Mayor Arthur J. Reaume said last week in a letter, sent to Mr. Frost after council received no reply to its resolution, that the government should use "its influence" over the tricking firms to see that the striking employees receive a 'fair wage." . Mr. Frost said he was sure 'Mr. Daley will be pleased that he is free to call upon the mayors to assist if this is necessary.' Mr. Reaume, in a reply to Mr. Frost's letter, said: "It might be well for the de- partment (of labor) to bring them (the disputants) together and keep them together and keep talking until the dispute is settled." WHITBY (Continued from Page 4) fielder let the ball get by him with 3 runs scoring. Whitby went down in order. . Bowmanville managed a hit and a walk in the 3rd but failed to score. Copeland walked and went to 3rd on Gavas' single. Bell bunt- ed with the squeeze play working to perfection with Copeland scor- ing and Bell reaching first safely. Twansky sacrificed the runners along. MacDonald flied to centre and Neal was walked intentionally to load the bases but Al MacDonald struck out to end the threat. The Roses went down in order , in their 4th. Whitby went down with 1 hit. Bowmanville went down in order again 'in the 5th. Ken MacDonald reached second on an error to the left fielder with two out but failed to score. Gavas set Bowmanville down in 1,2,3 fashion again in the 6th with 3 strike-outs. The Merchants were also retried in order. In the top of the 7th Bowman- ville added what looked like an insurance tally when Bagnell was safe at second on an overthrow by the shortstop at first and then scored when the pitcher missed Hanna's throw back to him on the next pitch. The Merchants showed their great come-back strength when they scored 3 runs in their 7th. Copeland led ff with : single. Gavas hit what looked like a double play ball to the shortstop who booted it and everyone was JSafe. Bell then singied off the pitcher's glove to load the bases. At this point 'Stainton replaced Jones on the mound and Copeland scored with the base runners mov- ing up a base when he balked.

OTTAWA (CP) This © fall the government is expected to pro- claim a new deal for about 60,000 civil servants. They will be brought under the Civil Service Super- annuation Act. The act, approved, at the last Parliament, probably will be pro- claimed Oct. 1. It will almost double the number of contributors to the civil service pension fund by includng about 131,000 where only 60,000 now are covered. But the big question mark of the act is retirement age. Under pres- ent legislation, civil servants re- tire at 65. However, some excep- tions are made in particular cases on the recommendations of de- partment heads to the treasury board. RETIREMENT AGE 'Some civil servants favor reten- tion of the 65 retirement age with provisions for exceptions. Others have urged that the government fix no definite retirement age. When the new act is proclaimed the statutory requirement that civil servants retire at 65 will dis- appear. 'However, the act leaves it to the cabinet to make regula- tions stating the retirement age and this power can be exercised at any time by order-in-councl. The effect will be, said one senior civil service official, that civil servants will find it easier to remain on the job after reaching 65, provided their health is good. (The Canadian Press reported er roneously June 24 that the arbi- trary retirement age provision had already been lifted.) The government also has re- laxed regulations on the ages at which civil servants may be hired. until June 1, age limits ranging between 16 and 40 were set on certain classes of civil servce jobs, including office boys and -girls, stenographers, typists, office ap- pliance. operators and also some clerks. However, the cabinet by order- in-council removed these age lim- its and left it up to the civil ser- vice commission to decide on hirings. The commission now may consider persons irrespective of their age provided they are men- tally and physically capable of doing the jobs for which they apply. COVERS MANY EMPLOYEES The new Superannuation Act will cover about 58,000 permanent em- ployees, another 76,000 classed as No Comphléory Retiring At 65 If Bill Passes temporaries 'and abou. 2,000 ships' crew members who are on annual salaries. \ Those hourly- paid employees «classed as prevailing - raté em- ployees--about 22,000 skilled arti- sans--will continue under present retirement schemes. It is not yet known how many, if any, of the 11,000 remaining persons on fed- eral payrolls will come under the new act. One provision of the act makes the pension and other benefits ap- plicable after five years' service. Such benefits now do not apply until after 10 years' service. Another new feature is provision for the federal government to en- ter into agreements with the pro- vincial governments and Crown corporations to permit employees who change jobs to carry with them their pensions benefits. Thus, a federal employee who switches to a provincial government job or one with a Crown corporation would suffer no loss of pensions benefits. The reverse also would be true. robe Into Bus Sinking TORONTO (CP)--Highways Min- ister Doucett of Ontario said Friday there will be "an immediate and searching probe" into the bus ac- cident which killed 20 persons near Morrisburg early this morning. Seventeen of the 37 passengers escaped when the Colonial Lines bus hit a truck and plunged into the Williamsburg canal. Mr. Doucett said in a statement: "I extend to all bereaved by this tragedy, probably the worst of its kind in Ontario's history, my deep- est sympathies. Ontario and, in- deed, Canada will be shocked by this disaster. "From preliminary investigation I hasten to add that there will be an immediate, complete and searching probe of all causes lead- ing up to this tragedy. All mem- bers of the provincial government express a joint determination to find out the cause and to aid in fixing the blame." The constant shower of fine cos- mic dust adds about 2,000,000 tons a year to the earth's weight. ROOM AND BOARD SPEAKING OF YOUR. 7] HASSLE WITH A GRIZZLY '| BEAR, MAC...

The thrilling slice of Canadiana began with some superlative scenes of the rugged Nova Scotian shore, and followed with panora- mic "views of wind blown land- scapes, tempered with busy port and industrial horizons. HISTORY DISTURBED Historic remnants of old Acadie's ancient battlements were explored by the timeless eye of the color camera, and history was redisturb- The commentary by Don Camer- on traced briefly the evolution of one of today's busiest portions of the country from its earliest be- ginning in the town of Annopolis Royal, later to be called Port Royal while the province remained in the hands of France. Nova Scotia's formal history be- gan in 1604, when Sieur de Monts, sailing under the qrders of Henry IV of France, became first lieuten- ant-governor of one of the oldest colonies on record. In 1758 a constitution, with an elective assembly was granted Nova Scotia, and in 1773 the great Scottish emigration began, which gave certain counties of Nova Scot- ia the chief part of their population. Nova Scotia's mineral wealth was pictured also, and included scenes from the mining of gypsum, barytes, and rock salt, coal, etc., as well as Luge foundries and roll- ing mills turning out the steel of a great country. BEAUTIFUL LAKES The surface of Nova Scotia prop- er is undulating and grand, its lakes large and beautiful. Scenes of Bras D'or, which covers almost 500 square miles were shown, as well as fishing scenes of handsome trout and salmon, enough to warm any sportsman's heart. The harvest of the sea, which has figured so prominently in Nova Scotia's development was also fea- tured. There were views of the hardy fishermen at work An their coastal schooners, offspring of the Bluenose. 'Rotarian fishing fans ohed and ahed at thrilling shots of giant tuna fighting for their lives, and gourmets scanned Appreciatively the moving areas of lobsters in the bottom of the boats, and the scal- lops, and other seemingly endless fruits of the sea.

Mrs. Sampson, the prime minis- ter"s daughter, was presented with a bouquet by young Bobbie James, as the crowd cheered. Mr. St. Laurent left the rear of the car for several minutes and talked with the young citizens. as he mingled with the assembly. . The prime minister spoke briefly concerning the great importance of the voter's decision in the com- ing election, and urged that each case be weighed and well consid- ered, since the continuance of prosperity and peace was every man's dream. Mr. St. Laurent also asked cit- izens of Durham Riding to support their Liberal candidate, John James. "He has done a fine job," said the prime minister.
