Wryte maintained that at no time did his vehicle cross the white line Const. A. V. Alexander the Bowmanville detachment of OPP, testified that on Dec. 18 he was notified of the acci- dent and arrived there at about 5.05 p.m. "When I arrived," stated Const, Alexander, 'I found the truck on the side of the road.'

Department. Reporting to council on the proposed purchase, Councillor Owen Ashley, chainman of works, stated that the town en- gineer and the works depart- ment foreman had been to To- ronto to see the machine and had recommended htat the town lose no time in buying it. The Wayne Street Sweeper, which when new cost $12,000, can be operated by one man and automatically sweeps the streets and loads the sweepings via an yjelevator belt into a hopper. Councillor Ashley pointed out that he did not have time to bring the matter to his*tmmit- tee for discussion and he em- phasized that council would have to make up its mind im- mediately to buy the machine before someone else bought it. "We have not purchased any new equipment in this town for ten years," he said, 'and this Ghe Oshawa Times SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 196 2 PAGE THIRTEEN OD Labor Council To Protest Tracks Call CN King St. Line 'Eighth Wonder Of World' <A TN machine would not be a luxury ; but a real necessity.

With more complaints that the matter should have been) | studied by the works committee before council was asked to de-| cide, Mayor Parish suggesetd that the committee should do so with power to act.

A bystander, looking on while an Oshawa Times photographer took these three pictures on King street, knew the answer. "They should have taken these out 25 years ago,"' he offered his opinion. They did not take them out, however. They still withstand both the gnawing teeth of time that weathered away several lay- ers of pavement, and the scorn of Oshawa citizens who continually trip over them. Whether they will withstand the hearing of the Board of Transport Commissioners to be held here April 3 remains to be seen. In. December, 1960, former mayor Lyman Gifford moved that the city make application to the Board of Transport Commissioners (Ottawa) for diversion of the tracks to another area. The motion was passed and the appeal made early last year. Last December, C. W.

Tane said that by set- ting a goal for which the patrol members could compete for, such as the Jamboree, a mark- ed improvement in general Safety Patrol Jamboree which|morale, as well as efficiency, |will be held in Ottawa on May| would be shown. A film of a recent Jamboree held in Ottawa was shown by Const. Tane. The movie present- ed an impressive spectacle of what activities some 4,000 patrol members enjoyed during the two-day affair. The facil- ities of the Canada Army, Air Force and Navy were thrown open to the children. Many visits to places of interest, such as the Parliament Buildings and other hisotrical points, a trip to Lansdowne Park where a gala show was seen, and an evening of presentations of awards to safety patrol members is part of the Jamboree. The members were also featured in a giant parade, where Prime Minister Diefenbaker took the salute. The greatest problem which faces the Safety League in this matter, is the problem of rais- ing funds for the children. Const. Tane presented an esti- ;mated figure to the league of |$2,275 to send 58 patrol mem- bers -- two from each school. |This amounts to about $25 per person, but transportation for other $600. Costs will also have |to be provided for six adults and Const. Tane to accompany jthe children, |PLAN COMMITTEE The Safety League will ap- point a committee to start im- |mediate work on the program. Certain bodies in Oshawa may be approached in an effort to attain funds. It was also sug- gested that by holding a special local event for the school safety patrol, admission funds could be used to promote the plan. The Jamboree is sponsored by the Canadian Automobile Asso- ciation. School safety patrols are be- coming large through the world as there are now some 700,000 members, Const. Tane reported. Should the trip not be made this year, a definite effort will be made to assure one next year. The Oshawa Safety League announced that a donation of $500 was received from General Motors to aid in the promotion of the Safety Patrol Lane which will be opened up during Na- tional Traffic Safety Week in May.
