Dec. 7, 1959 {Mr. Malcolm Smith, Union Hall, Dear Sir: TO PROBE STATUS At its monthly meeting in Bow manville Tuesday night, the Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conservation Authority decided to send a dele- the Hon. Mr. Nickle, the minister of planning and development in Toronto '"'to see where we stand." Authority Chairman William "We want to find out if a few objecting municipali- ties and the department can push the authority around." The mayors of Whitby and Bowmanville met with Oshawa Mayor Lyman Gifford on Mar. 13 to express their opposition to an authority project. The next day, a representative group went to Toronto to person- ally place their objections before the minister. SOME IRREGULARITIES "There have been certain ir- regularities in procedure by the objecting municipalities," claim- ed Mr. Owens. "They should have met with the authority first to talk over the problem. "With no one representing the authority at the meeting, the minister has heard only one side of the story. "I don't see why they are Enclosed please find two dol- lars (2.00) toward the John Meag- er Fund, Hoping that the objective may be reached and with the compli- {ments of the season.

We are always willing to listen to objections." WOULD BUY FARM The project referred to is a farm north of Oshawa which the CLOCA wants to buy and use for a conservation scheme. Estimated cost of the farm is $50,000. This amount pushed the authority's budget up to $69,500 {for 1960 and resulted in Oshawa's share rising to $20,180 from last year's $1848.95. The province pays one-half of the total amount requested by the CLOCA, with the approval of the Treasury Board. Mayor Gifford complained that the boost was totally unexpected and was submitted only days before Oshawa its 1960 budget. a few ed "Council members have no power to refuse this budget fig- ure or withdraw from the Author- ity under the terms of the Con- Conservation Authority To Interview Minister Oshawa, 100 per cent; Whitby, 100 per cent; Bowmanville, 100 per cent; Whitby and East Whit- by townships, 100 per cent for both; Darlington township, 96 per cent; Pickering township, four per cent; Reach township, six per cent; and Clarke township, four per cent. 1 Subsection three of the same section of the Act says: "Each municipality shall raise by de- benture or other means money required, subject only to such conditions as the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) shall impose as to time and manner of raising money."

"The authority has done noth. ing wrong," emphasized Mr, Owens. He explained that the conservation scheme involving purchase of the farm "jelled at our January meeting. We had to submit our 1960 budget before our brief describing the nature of the project was ready. _ "When we heard about these irregularities of procedure (that is, objectors going to the minis- ter without consulting us), we held up the brief.

Next week FO Tricker, our liasion officer from Toronto, will inspect the squadron. The pur- pose of the inspection is to see how we are getting along. He has also to make out a report on the squadron for the air force. Secause of the importance of this inspection, it goes withoui saying that we desire a good turnout of smartly dressed cadets on parade. ATTENDANCE IMPORTANT On the matter cf attendance cacets are reminded again, that this is one of the main factors that will either get you to sum- mer camp or cancel your chances all together. Also we are given a certain amount of free flying time and cadets with good attendance can win up to one hours free flying time at the Oshawa Airport NEW QUOTA SET Last week FL Gilbank recieved a letter from the Toronto Air Cadet Headquarters which has passed a new rule on the number of cadets in each squadron. The squadron has been given a quota of 60 cadets and that is ail we can have on roll. At present we have 56 on roll and we are only allowed to have four more new cadets. Two weeks ago we had another boy join the squadron. On behalf of everyone I would like to wel- come Bob Montgomery. RANGE NEWS Tuesday evening Mr. Houston, our range instructors, offered as a prize $1 to any junior cadet in his class who could group five shots close enough that a nickle could be placed over them. Unfortunately for Mr. Houston but luckily for two of our juniors Mr. ouston paid out $2 to cadets Lingen and Brannigan for their fine shooting. Shortly after a number of cadets overheard Mr Houston asking Mr. Peterson to lend him 15 cents for bus fare home, Mr. Evans was shooting for the RCAFA Trophy. He shot a respectable 92. With scores like this we just might win. CADET LEAVES For the past two years Cpl. Paul Higgins has been a member of the squadron. Paul, who is moving to Sarnia, plans to join No. 44 Sarnia Air Cadet Squad- ron when he moves. CLEANUPS There will be no NCO meeting this Sunday. The meeting will be held April 17. Please keep this date in mind. Lapel pins are on sale in the office for only 50 cents. Any cadet who is taking the flying course this summer should buy| the flight book called "From the Ground Up. On the matter of year books they will be given out to the cadets free of charge at the an- nual inspection.

Jack Menzie, cam- paign chairman, reported to Wed- nesday night's meeting on the progress of plans for the "Blitz". The women's committee dis- cussed plans for a "'daffodil tea" to be held at McLaughlin Hall, April 20. It was reported that a new branch of the Ontario County unit has been started in Peffer- law. GOLDEN SANDS SOUTHEND, England (CP)-- Visitors to this Essex resort will able to relax on golden beaches this summer. Sand from building sites has been trans- to cover the mud| stretches. The nurses are particularly in- terested in the work done by the; special placement officers in find- es and special problems. A different group of nurses ar- rives each Wednesday and the iti weeks. COMMENTS FAVORABLE Mr. Hodgson says the nurses' comments have been very favor- able and many have said their visits have given them an in- sight into something they had no previous knowledge of. In the past month special placement officers on Mr. Hodg- son's staff have beew able to find work for five people. A follow up visit was also made to an em- ployer who took a handicapped person on to his staff in January. The employer said he was very satisfied and would not hesitate to take another handicapped per- son when he had a vacancy. During the coming month two female - applicants will complete courses of vocational training ar- ranged by the employment serv- ice, Mr. Hodgson said. LITTLE TURNOVER tudying N E S Methods |Oshawa there was very little change, Mr. Hodgson said. The majority of large manu- facturing industries continued steady production but there was no overtime. During March, there was very little turnover in production staffs, Mr. Hodgson said, and consequently there was little demand for factory work- ers. Most vacancies were for workers in skilled trades. A number of construction proj- ects were being planned but there was no increase yet of out- side building activity. Cold weather and heavy snow con- tinued to hamper the building trade during March, Mr. Hodg- son said. A slight demand for farm work- ers was noticeable and Mr, Hodg- son expects it to increase con- siderably during the coming months. 5099 SEEK WORK At the end of March 3190 men, and 1909 women in Oshawa were looking for work. The figures are only very slightly higher than the February figures of 3144 and 1889. Besides farm workers with ex- perience, the following people are needed in the city: a plant en. gineer, chemical engineer, mechanical engineer trainees, tool designers, time study men, die makers, die designers, sta- tionary engineer third class, li- censed auto mechanics, auto body repair men, machinist, mill wright, pattern maker, horizon. tal boring mill operator, heli-arc welder, surveyor, pharmacist, barbers, registered nurses. At the end of March, the city's merchants reported average re- tail trade for the month. Clothing retailers look forward to a pre- On the employment scene in Easter increase in sales.
