~ PROTECTIVE COVERING SPEEDS POURIN Chilly winds, near-zero tem- peratures and freezing rain during the past week have been the cause of many head- aches for people in the con- struction industry--and in par- ticular to the Oshawa Works Department. But, one project has not been interrupted by all these winter hazards--that being the twin-culvert project under construction on Har- mony road south. Using a huge tent-shaped polyethlene protective covering, work- 2g G OF CO men are continuing to pour concrete into the culvert, which, when finished, will eliminate the jog in Harmony road and permit traffic to travel straight through. Work on the $33,638 project, let by NCRETE tender to Romano Construc- tion Company, began in early December. By the way it's warm inside the covering--at least 60 degrees, or better-- at all times. -- Oshawa Times Photo 1837 VISTAS Remarks On Tour Through Ontario Following is part two of a three-part account of a tour by a Scottish gentleman through what is now South- ern Ontario. By LEON KONOROWSKI Executive' Curator Henry House Museum Feb. 3--I arrived at Toronto and put up at the Edinburgh Castle of Mr. G. Henderson. Feb, 4--Took a view of the City of Toronto which lies in a very low situation. It is fast rising in importance and there are a great deal of splendid stores here which sell goods as cheap as Montreal. There are many' extensive buildings in Toronto among which we may rank the Eng- lish Church, the Market Square, the Parliament House, the Agricultural Bank, the hospital, and a great many others. FINE ORATOORS After taking a survey of the town I proceeded to the Par- liament House to hear the de- bates of that learned body. There are some very fine ora- tors among them such as Mr. Prince, Dr. Rolph, the Solicitor General, and some _ whose names I forgot. There were also some plain 'matter of fact" men, viz; Mr. Gibson, and Mr. Morey, and also some "drones". for, where is there a body. amounting to such a number without them? On a seat elevated three steps above the floor of the house, sits the speaker, the Hon. Archibald McLeane, a man I believe highly qualified for the situation he holds. The legislative council sit in the same house and are com- posed of 30 members. A little to the north of the parliament is the house of His Excellency the Governor, a plain but comfortable looking house. In the evening I - proceeded to the Peninsula Hotel where some of the sportsmen of the city had assembled to shoot quail. They were excellent marksmen. NEW COLLEGE PLANNED Feb. 5--Making enquiries at the land offices and visiting public buildings. There is a good college in Toronto where the lower branches are taught. There is to be another built next season where young men tion. Car Production Drop This Week TORONTO (CP) -- Canadian motor - vehicle production this week is estimated at 7,325 units compared with 8,313 last week, says the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce.

They dress in the height of fashion. There certainly are a great oaumber of good Jooking people of both sexes here! After leaving Toronto by the Lake Road, which is 6 miles nearer than the other, the land has but a very poor appear- ance, and is very irregular. The River Credit is a good harbor for shipping and a thriv- ing village. There is no place of any importance further on till you come to Wellington Square, 35 miles from Toronto and six miles from Hamilton. Put up at Wellington Square all night and had a hard time trying to support the British Constitution against a Yankee Radical. This is a new village and is improving fast. SEES CANAL Feb. 7--Took a view of Bur- lington Canal which is cut through the isthmus which di- vides the bay at Hamilton from the lake. Hamilton is a place wonder- fully adapted by nature for a place of buildings and is rapid- ly rising in importance. There is one very fine street in it with some fine stores and good brick buildings, one of the most extensive is the house of Mr. McNab, member for the Gore District. The population of Hamilton is about 3000. The next place of any impor- tance is Guelph, a thriving vil- tage which belongs to the Can- ada Land Company. Feb. 8--Left Hamilton for London District by the Gover- nor's road. The Village of An- easter, six miles from Hamil- ton, is the first place of impor- tance by that route. About 15. miles further is the fine Town of Brantford. Affording a beau- tiful prospect, the Grand River runs past the town and empties itself into Lake Erie, about 30 have|UP_of 13,420 cars compared with | 12,347 | The young men here are well) ac-| and 2,218 trucks com- pared with 2,310.

The number of inhabitants here are about 2,000. VISITED LAKE ERIE About 10 miles further is the small Village of Burford. From here I proceeded to Long Point on the shores of Lake Erie, being a distance of about 30 miles. There are some thriving vil- Jages on this route, the first being Oakland and a few miles further Waterford, the only vil- tage I have seen in this coun- try without a tavern. Col- bourne is next and then Wel- lington, Simcoe, and Vitoria, all within a few miles of each) other. | Charlotville fronts Lake Erie.| Here there is a very extensive foundry and plenty of iron in the land in the neighbourhood. Feb. 8 to 18--Spent this time in viewing the Township of Norwich and east and west Ox- ford. Feb. 9--Proceeded on to Lon: don which place I reached on the 20th. It has perhaps made as rapid progress as any vil- lage in Canada, in population. It has not been more than 10 years .since it was first com- menced and it now has a pop- ulation of 2,000. The village was first started by the exer- tions of Col. Talbot and by him divided into town lots of half an acre each. As yet the principal part of the buildings are wood but they are commencing to build of brick and stone. ila i la 1962 CHEVY 11 NOVA 400 FOUR-DOOR This is the.

Car Theft Charge Made Alexander Zedic, of 163 Wind- sor street, was charges with car theft Friday, Zedic, 26, was arrested iff St. Catharines Friday after local firemen rescued him from an island in the middle of a creek. The arrest followed a nine-hour search by Provincial Police for a man who had abandoned a car reported taken in Oshawa. The car was taken from William Leflar, Saguenay St., Oshawa. A little over half an hour after the car was reported stolen, the Oshawa Police re- ceived word that a car was being chased along the Queen Elizabeth way. Zedic succeeded to evade per- suing police constable on foot and disappeared along the bor- ders of the Twelve Mile Creek in St. Catharines, at 3.30 a.m. Friday.

This book has many fine qualities to commend it to the discriminating reader -- the the writing is brisk, stimulating and the illustrations are breath- taking, as good as the best bird photography to appear in many months. Because of the ex- cellent color reproduction, the pictures have an illusion of three-dimension. The book includes the first birds when they were part of a whole unknown romantic world. Did you know that Isa- bella, Queen of Castile, charged Christopher Columbus with col- lecting such wnusua: and exotic birds encountered on his travels. His party reported "red parrots as big as chickens" in 1496. Columbus brought back, in ad- dition to five shiploads of In- dian slaves, several birds, pro- bably Scarlet Macawl, to Spain with him. BEAUTIFUL BIRDS The beauty of these birds has attracted the attention of casual travellers as well as professional, and amateur ornithologists. More than 100 species, in all of their colorful plumage, are to be found in this book, which represents a fine collector's item. Displayed in this book are the familiar summer residents of Canada and the United States -- like the egrets, herons, thrushes, and hummingbirds, the Barn Owl, House Wren, and Eastern Meadowlark to the lesser-known Magnificent Algerian ALGIERS (AP)--French au- thorities were waging a strug- gle today on two fronts in Al- geria, caught between die-hard European settlers and Moslem rebels. Savage ambushes beset French troops charged with holding down Moslem forces on the FLN (National Liberation Front) in the North African ter- ritory, and in the cities police vainly try to combat rising ter- rorism from the right-wing se- cret army determined to keep Algeria French, There was no sign, however, that the French and the Algerian nationalist rebels were heading towards agreement. President Charles de Gaulle wants an in- dependent Algeria with close economic and social ties with France. Near anarchy prevailed in Oran, Algeria's second city where Moslems and Europeans battle daily in the city's streets. The economy of the once-thriv- ing seaport has been seriously damaged.

The author gives full details of the characteristics, habits and ranges of these birds, along with their common scien- tific names. Professor Allen also gives the history of the area, its geography, forests, mountains, swamps, and islands -- and the progress of conservation of the wildlife under different govern- ments. There is also records and account left by early or- nithological expeditions, as well as many modern works that will be of great interest to bird lovers.

These birds were almost exterminated. There is also an: account of the Guscharo, a nocturnal bird that navigates by echo-location in the dark caves where it dwells.
