Stanley Jeffery, a transient, facing charges of being drunk and having wine, pleaded guilty to the charges. "I used to work for this bar ber," said the accused, "and I spent last Saturday night in his washroom." the magistrate that whilst in- vestigating an accident at the King street east - Rison road inersection Aug. 20, he noticed that Cornish's breath 'smelled strongly of alcohol."

Similarly: a charge of being drunk in charge of an automo- bile was lowered to impaired driving in the case of Vincent T. Conlin, 34, of 161 Adelaide street east. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or 10 days in jail, with a six-month licence suspension. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays today: Mrs. Harry Orpwood, 239 Tresane street; Mrs. Dor- othy Topham, 1358 Minden street, celebrated her birth- day yesterday. Phone 723-3474. was in Windsor. The Hon. Mich- ael Starr, Federal minister of labor and MP for Ontario Rid- ing, brought greetings from the Federal government. Monsignor P. Coffey, board member, installed commemora- tive documents in the stone, in- cluding newspapers, coins and stamps, and factual accounts concerning the detail of the building. Col. McLaughlin was then in- troduced by another board member, George Drynan, who presented him with the silver trowel. During the ceremonies, the band of ONeill Collegiate and Vocational Institute played se- lections. Said Col. McLaughlin: "I am glad to see the federal govern- ment is giving money to Ontario County," he joked. '""We give an outlandish share to them: it's nice to get a little back." (Un- |der a scheme to promote build- ling of vocational schools, the government will pay part of the school's cost.) The school is located on Ste- venson's Rd. north, just south he said. There will be 33 academic classrooms and 11 shops, plus a gymnasium and a cafeteria, Mr. Saywell continued. The estimated cost of two mil- lion, two hundred dollars will be shared by the City of Oshawa, the Ontario Department of Edu- cation, and the Dominion Gov- ernment, the latter's share com- ing to about 64 percent, he told listeners. Mr. Saywell went on to ex- plain the symbolic significance cornerstones have had through- out history. The solidity of a cornerstone represents 'the rock upon which character is built," he said. "All of us have learned that good human rela- tions cannot be legislated. They are the product of time, educa- tion and effort." "Cornerstones are laid in the northeast corner. The point, midway between the darkness of the north and the brilliance of the east, was chosen by ancient builders as the point of beginn- ing, a spot to mark a birth, a commencement of a new struc- and does not qualify to receive grants for its total cost. All grants are subject to the approval of the federal minis- ter of labor, the Hon. Michael Starr. It was particularly apt that Mr. Starr, also MP for On- tario Riding, should have been on hand to bring greetings from the Dominion government. The coming of automation has brought with it a new era in education, one that requires high technical skill, he stated. Education must be geared to equip young people for today and for the life they will be facing in the future, he said, in explaining the government's purpose in promoting technical education. In introducing Col. McLaugh- lin, Mr. Drynan stressed the new school represents "a new look at technical education, and perhaps at education in gener- | Rg Compulsory attendance is no longer enough, he said.

Court Sequel To Fatality Frederick W. Swaine, 42, of Princess Elizabeth street, Lind say, was to appear in Bowman- ville Magistrate's Court today on a charge of careless driving following the Sunday death of motorcyclist Carl Pandoff. Pandoff died about 10 p.m. Sunday in Oshawa General Hos- pital of injuries received hours earlier in Newtonville. Bowman- ville OPP detachment was noti- fied about 7 p.m. Investigating officers were Const. H. White and Corporal R. Johnson. Remand Man For Sentence It almost worked this way: A man walked into a King street drug store Aug. 25 and pur- chased a 40-cent item. He ten- dered a $10 bill to the sales clerk and received his $9.60 change. Quickly he handed the girl another $10 in one and two dollar bills and asked for change for $20 in consideration of his urchase. Result: the store was 10 short after the man left. "I had been drinking," Wil- liam David McMartin, of 10 Salisbury street, Toronto, told Magistrate F. S. Ebbs Monday. "But you'd still have to be quite artistic to pull a trick like that," mused the magistrate. McMartin was remanded for sentencing Sept. 1.
