IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME Alderman Hayward Mur- doch, on left, of the city property committee, inspects the new $55,000 city-owned swimming pool in Rotary Park while an attendant Bill Blasko, helps to get it in shape. The pool will be open Monday for the sum- mer season, Mr. Murdoch announced today. He also an- nounced that the city-owned Somerset pool in the north- west section will likely be ready for Monday -- new fitter equipment is being installed in the Somerset pool. The city is also pre- paring a third pool -- it will also be in Rotary Park -- for the younger children who are not allowed to swim in the new pool because of their age. Thousands of children used the two city pools last year -- it is expected that the pools will be used to capacity again this summer. --Oshawa Times Ontario Regiment Goes To Niagara Camp July 14 NIAGARA ON .

E. Wilson Honored On Retirement Robert E. Wilson, retiring after 29 years' service with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, was honored Friday evening at a dinner party by the district staff and their wives in the Picadilly Room of Hotel Genosha.

Following the dinner, Mr. Wilson was presented with a retirement gift, a retirement certificate from the company, and a service award, Mrs. Wilson was presented jwith a bouquet of flowers. HIGH-LEVEL MANAGEMENT AT ITS BEST Here's a prime example of high-level management. Ont- ario's Health Minister, Dr. Matthew Dymond, joins work- ers making the final pour of woncrete on the top of the Ontario government's new $1, 500,000 school of nursing building at Whitby, Ont. Mr. Dymond was visiting his de- partment's new building Fri- day in Whitby and took the opportunity to make one of the final pours himself. The new $1,500,000 school of nur- sing is on the grounds of the Ontario Hospital. It is an ul- tra- modern building of at- tractive design that will add greatly to the beauty of the general area. Applicants Diminish The number of district appli- cants registered for employ- ment on June 29 was 3.062, the Oshawa office of the National Employment Service said Fri- day. This compared with 3,103 on May 31 of this year and 3,816 on June 30, 1961. The reduced applicant load was attributed to a reasonably steady level of employment in manufacturing, and additional job opportunities in construc- tion, agricz!ture, and the serv- ice industries. The demand for agricultural workers increased and some dif- ficulty was experienced in ob- taining qualified farm hands. A considerable number of vacan- cies have been listed for to- bacco workers. A good level of production was reported by the majority of local industries, although sev- eral indicated gradual reduction of staffs with the completion of yearly schedules and the ap- proaching annual holiday period. Construction activity in- creased throughout the area, and accounted for a correspond- ing drop in the number of con- struction tradesmen and labor- ers. Local area projects included plant and school additions, as well as new schools, churches, and family home construction. Recent building permits con- tinued to surpass last year's totals. Warm summer weather ac- | counted for increased activity in variety of service industries, which increased the demand for restaurant workers, service sta- tion attendants, retail personnel, and clerical help. The regular supply of appli- cants was bolstered by a large number of high school students seeking summer employment. However, some shortages of qualified applicants occurred in the following -- stationary en- gineers, machine repairmen, tool and die makers, machinists, auto mechanics and body re- pairmen, horizontal boring and milling machine operator, com- positor, offset press man, uphol- sterer, medical technician, pur- chasing agent, insurance sales- men, farm hands, waitresses, housekeepers, and_ registered nurses, Following is a comparison of applicants registered for em- ployment. On June 29 of this year there were 1,755 males and 1,307 females as compared with 1,668 males and 1,435 females on May 31 of this year. The figure for June 30 of last year was 2,192 males and 1,624 females. Knox Church Holds Picnic The weahter was kind to the members of Knox Presbyterian Church, Oshawa, who held their annual family picnic in the Dar- lington Provincial Park Sat- urday, June 23, About 100 people enjoyed all types of open air sports and a picnic tea.

Mr. Baron spoke on behalf of his father, K. J. Baron, of 1184 Cedar street. Land and build. ing assessment of $7,610 had been added to Mr. Baron's prop- erty. This assessment had been confirmed by the court. é The explanation from City A t Commissi Eldo Kerr: a lot and building was omitted from the assessment roll last year. ASSESSMENT BASIS The elder Mr. Baron's 5.03 acres of property has been as- sessed on the basis of two lots and the rest in acreage, the court was told. "The city is making it more difficult for an older person to go on his own," said Frank Baron in suggesting reduced assessments for old age pen- sioners. Barbershoppers Concert Feature The Band of the Ontario Regi- ment has prepared another fine program for this coming Thurs- day at 8.30 p.m. from the Mc- Laughlin Band Shell. The fea- ture of this presentation will be the Oshawa Chapter, SPEBS- SA, chorus and two quartettes, "The Fair in Accord" and "'The Sportsmen", directed by Eric Booth and Don Henderson. The band will have as guest conductor James H. Hargreaves TCL, LRAM, ARCM, who be- fore coming te Canada was cor- net soloist of the Scots Guards Band and subsequently profes- sor of music at the Royal Marines School of Music. The band will introduce three new marches, 'Le Reve Passe"', "Nibelungen" and 'Pendine". The overture "Caliph of Bag- dad" by Boieldieu, Czech Polka by Johann Strauss, Jerome Kern's "Showboat" along with Winkler's "Neapolitan Sere- nade" and Arthur Sullivan's "Long Day Closes" should make this a very interesting and color- ful program. Captain I. McNab will be the master of ceremonies. "In the past year my father's taxes have risen over $300. Seventy per cent of his pension goes for taxes." RELIEF POSSIBLE Mr. Baron was told the city department operates under the provincial assessment act. Court Chairman Louis Hyman, C, said there is a section of the act under which a person may apply for help. Relief may be given," he said. Mr. Hyman stressed that it is the responsibility of the person making the appeal to prove to the court that the assessment in question has been. carried out in an incorrect manner. "Your land has been assessed (with) the same (method) as your neighbor's," said Mr. Hyman. "All properties are treated alike." "Maybe I can't prove it is wrong but I think it is. unjust," replied Mr. Baron. SUGGEST SUBDIVISION Subdividing the land was sug- gested but Mr. Baron claimed the cost would be prohibitive and he thought the land parcel was not large enough to interest subdividers. Allocation of public and sep- arate school support shares of the assessment will be changed. Two other appeals were con- firmed when the appellants fail- ed to appear. A. Greco, Simcoe street south had lodged a build- ing assessment appeal; John H. Hobbs, Wilson road south, enter- ed an appeal against his busi- ness assessment. Hartford Gay Over Pay TV HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Pay television without commer- cials met with an enthusiastic reception in the Hartford area Friday night. Neither film had been shown before on television in this area. "T've been agitating for it for years," said G. Harry Davis of nearby Avon. Davis, an execu- tive of the Dictaphone Corpore- tion, said he applied to be among the initial 200 subscrib- ers as soon as he heard that the test would be run by WHCT, an ultra-high frequency TV sta- tion here. The WHCT programs were the first over-the-air test of pay Remand Accused On $500 Bail James W. Adams, RR 3, Bow- manville, appeared before Ma- gistrate F. S. Ebbs in Oshawa TV but viewers in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke have been watching pay television on a closed circuit. The closed' cir- cuit system is more expensive because it requires much more equipment, including cables to bring the programs into each house. School Ends For 13,000 Thirteen thousand elementary, school children were dismissed from Oshawa schools at 2:30 p.m. yesterday. This means one thing. There are now 13,000 more reasons why motorists must keep a sharp lookout while driving on city streets. Through- out the school year, motorists know that they must practice extra caution during hours be- fore and after school. With va- cation-time, however, more chil- dren are on more streets, more often. The kiddies are on their way to playgrounds, swimming pools, shows, and the library. They're going to Freddie's to play and to Janet's to play school already. They're every- where. Motorists, watch for them. While the children are in school, they are given extensive safety training. They are con- stantly reminded by teachers, safety patrollers, and Safety Officer William Tane of the Osh- awa Police Department, of the need to observe safety rules. But safety should not be allow- ed to take a summer' vacation, Safety training should be cone tinued by parents during these months of play. Parents: Clip these Elmer the Safety Elephant rules from the paper and tack them at child. size eye-level near the most popular exit of your home. 1. Look both ways before you cross the street 2. Keep out from between parked cars 3. Ride your bicycle safely and obey signs nad signals 4. Play games in a safe place away from the street 5. Walk -- don't run when you leave the curb 6. When there are no side- walks walk on the left side of the road facing the traffic and wear or carry something bright at night. court Friday on charges of pas- sing worthless cheques. Adams was remanded on $500 cash or property bail from June 27 and was remanded again to- day to July 6. Walter Ross Merrifield, 937 Simcoe street north, failed to appear in court to face a charge of operating a food shop with- out a licence, and several charges of non-payment of .'wages. Perhaps a recent Times edi- torial inspired the resurrection of Darlington Park's Lake On- tario monster, Darling. Or per- haps warmer lake water has coaxed the monster out of hibernation. The reader can decide this for himself. However, we at the Times feel it only fair to inform you of the latest de- velopments in the situation. You may recall that about 11 months ago numerous monster sightings were recorded in this paper. Several photographs of what the monster MIGHT look like appeared. But late yesterday the Times received a _ wallet-sized snap shot from an anonymous pho- tographer. Words carefully printed on the back read: 'This is the Darlington Park Mon- ster." And they say the cam- era can't lie. Remember, this paper is not trying to influence your think- ing. We feel it only. fair, how- ever, to relate all the facts as accurately as Speaking About The Monster... CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their birthdays today: Dianna and David Barns- ley (twins), 116 Olive ave., Those who celebrate on Sunday are: Mrs. Marilyn Wilson, 672 Annapolis street; Mrs. Greta Aylesworth, 166 Celina street; Carrie Muir- head, 240 Gibb street. Athletics Brooklin By GERRY BLAIR One might get the impression that St. Catharines Athletics are employing a two-platoon sys- tem. One club for the road and one for home stands, After recently absorbing a 16- 4 thrashing in Brooklin from Hillcrests, St. Catharines re- versed proceedings slightly with an 8-5 decision over Brooklin last night in St. Catharines. Hillerests are still winless away from home -- although maintaining a respectable home record with only one setback in four games. Last night's defeat left Brook- lin deadlocked in the basement with Port Credit. St. Cathar- ines, by virtue of their win, moved into sole possession of second spot behind runaway league-leading Brampton Ram- blers. Tonight in Brooklin, Hillcrests and Sailors will fight to survive sole ownership of last place in OLA Senior standings. Game time is 8.45 p.m. And of course the winner will create a virtual deadlock for second place with St. Cath- arines. Four players handled St. Catharines scoring, the bulk of which came in the second period when they outscored Brooklin 4-1. Garry Moore ac- counted for three St. Cath- arines, goals while Jack Tim- lock and Sam Crogan each net- ted a pair. Pete Berge added a singleton. Don: Craggs was tops for Brooklin with two; Rock Bat- ley, Ken Lotton and newcomer Down Squad BROOKLIN Goal -- Baker, Alts: Wood, Vilneff, G. Lotton, Cutis, Coombes, Craggs, Barrie, Batley, K.

Brooklin held a 3-2 lead at the end of the first period, but lost control of the game when assessed seven costly penalties in the second stanza. St. Kitts scored two in the middle ses- sion while Brooklin was short- handed, Hillcrests were unable to re- cover in the final session and scored only one goal. It in it- self was not enough to even the score, but it didn't matter as And. here are some facts. After several minutes of in- tense interrogation, staff mem- bers of Darlington Provincial Park admitted to the Times reporter that on three occa- sions last summer food suit- able for monsters (no details were volunteered here) was left on the shore late at night. The food had disappeared by morning on all occasions. The staff did not disclose the nature of the menu, but one member did say that IF a monster devoured the food, all things indicate that it is a vege- tarian. Last year, we at the paper were skeptical, politely speak- ing. This year, we will make one assumption and leave the rest to the reader. ASSUMPTION: There is a monster. Now, we leave it to you to prove: or disprove this state- ment. We will keep open minds at all times and open telephone lines the rest of the time. Just dial 723-4374 and ask for the Monster Editor. We won't laugh. l d St. Kitts added a pair. HOLD CAR A stolf car was reported Te- covered on a dead-end road north-east of Brooklin Friday. The owner of the car was Mrs. S. L. Constantine, 329 Adelaide street west. Missing from the car were a number of items ine cluding a spare-wheel tire, the accelerator pedal, a radio, a wheel jack, car mats, while the trunk had been forced open and a set of golf clubs removed. The car is being held for finger printing. IS THIS THE DARLINGTON PARK MONSTER? ,
