Walker. --Oshawa Times Photo District Employment Conditions Improved tt conditions in the Oshawa area showed improve- ment-during the month of Octo- ber but there was no decrease in the applicant load, the month- ly report of the Oshawa office of the National Employment Service shows. The report says an influx of residents of other areas flood- ing into the area seeking jobs With local industries kept the applicant load to a high level. Steady production in manu- accounted for a sub- stantial increase in the number of placements made by the local office. Industries experi- enced a two to four per cent increase in produetion during October, with some reporting a 2 per cent increase over the same period last year. This re- sulted in additional hirings, pro- viding opportunities for new workers. Other placements were made in the construction, retail, and service industries. Agricultural activities slowed down with the completion of the grain and other fall crop harvesting, and the demand for farm help dropped to a normal level. There was little change in the. number of construction laborers registering for employ- ment, as seasonally good weath- er provided no interference with the progress of local building projects. Recent building per- mits indicated increases over last year, but the totals re- mained lower than those re- corded for 1960 and 1959. The supply of qualfied appli- cants in most occupations re- mained adequate, and the local office was able to meet the in- creased demand during the month. Occupations in which some shortages occurred con- sisted of the following--mechan- ical engineers, medical techni- cians, machinists, tool and die makers, auto body repairmen, compositors, service station at- tendants, cooks and chefs, reg- istered nurses, waitresses and housekeepers. A total of 744 more appli- cants were seeking work in the city this October compared to October 1961. Last year, 2,656 men and 1,326 women were seeking jobs in the Oshawa area while in October of this year, 3271 men and 1456 women sought work. October 1962 figures though, show a drop of 874 applicants over September of this year, the report shows. Chest Compared To Insurance * J. J.

"It was there when it was need- ed," he said, and added, "I'm pn my way to the Blood Clinic wight today." ; "In organizations such as the Scout Association, I don't ave the time myself to do the lunteer work required. The, i I can do. to help is con-|~ tute to the Chest." Mr. Grills also emphasized the good work by the John Howard ty in giving "fellows who fave gone astray" a chance. + | No Skating For Adults -- Board Rules Adult skating after 10.15 p.m., Monday to Thursday nights, will be permitted at the Oshawa idren's Arena, the commis- sion decided Thursday night. Manager Ron Simcoe told the commission that several adult groups have requested arena rental after regular clos- ing hours. Ald. A. H. Murdoch opposed the suggestion, arguing that "we @re not a 24-hour operation". Ald. Murdoch said a manage- mentabor problem might arise When a "responsible person" would be required to work the overtime hours. He added that by the time hydro expenses were met for the extra hours, profit from such rentals would hot be great. Chairman William Kurelo argued that since the Children's Arena is partly maintained by the taxpayers, adults should be ven an opportunity to use the , especially when no child is ever deprived of using the arena facilities. "Why not rent the ice when ition to have to draw from § J. J. GRILLS Games To Aid Hockey Loop A benefit night for minor hockey proposed by the Oshawa Police Athletic Association Thursday night was approved by the Oshawa Children's Arena Commission. All proceeds from a night of exhibition games would go to help the depleted funds of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association. Sergeant Peter White, mana- ger of the Oshawa Police Hock- ey team, suggested that if the benefit night included a game between the Oshawa police club and the Metropolitan Toronto Police Association team, a bet- ter liaison between children and police would be created. Chairman of the Arena Com. mission, W. Kurelo, said the evening of exhibition games should also feature a match be. tween two pee-wee clubs. A date for the benefit night will be announced in the future. Advisor Addresses Student Engineers The Student Engineer's Club of Oshawa held a dinner meet- ing last Tuesday in the Corvair Room of Hotel Genosha. Gardner Williams, an advisor fo the club, from the personnel depattment of GM, was the guest speaker.

The convention report brought home the importance of the progress made by the role of history in the human heritage. Upper Canada Vil- lage was cited as an example of what can be done through reconstruction and restoration to preserve great historical resources, "Local history should be a do-it-yourself program, workin; from reliable sources, showing but one part of total history which embraces not only re- gions but nations and civiliza- tions," remarke@ Professor J, M. §S. Careless in his ad- dress to the group. He emphasized museums play th part in history by collections which can be used effectively for re- search, exhibitions and loans. Mrs. S, V. Barlow, who was a tario Historical Society Work- shop held in Ottawa early last month. The conference, 'she said, stressed the importance of Canada's 100th birthday in 1967, and that in planning for this celebration, emphasis should be placed on historical angles with an eye to some- thing of a permanent nature. At the November meeting a film, 'Quality of a Nation" will be shown. The film is con- sidered a "must" for all inter- ested in the centennial plan- ning, Mrs. Barlow said. Slides were shown of Upper Canada Village before and after the flooding by the St. Lawrence Seaway project. The commentary was given by Mrs. Barlow, a _ former resi- dent of the area, The president asked that all reports be prepared for the PUE To Honor Long Service Employees Several of the veterans of the Oshawa Public Utilities Com- special mark of distinction. The PUC will start a 25-Year-Club. "A motion was passed at the commissioners' regular meeting Thursday that the club be start- ed with an annual dinner for present and past empployees of the PUC who have been with the commission for 25 years. All those reaching their. 26th year with the commission will receive a gift, the nature of which is still to be determined. There are 15 employees at Champlain Ave. Main Extension Bid Tabled Champlain avenue residents will have to wait for a water- main extension. Their request) to the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission will have to be con- sidered first by the city council, the commissioners decided Thursday. Even if the council should ap- prove the construction of the watermain, running approxim- ately from Stevenson road south to Fox avenue, it is not certain the commission will want to put in the extension right away, The the present eligible to join the club. This number will gradually increase as the years go by, al- though the increase will not be too great until 1971, it is ex- delegate, repopted on the On-|?® ted cted. W. H. Gibbie, who has been with the PUC for over 25 years himself, said the greatest in- crease will take place after 1971. In 1977, he estimates there will be 42 working members and 18 retired members. He explained he had based his estimates on life expectancy tables. , The dinner will include the wives of the members and also PUC manager J. Bruce Annand. Both Mr. Annand and Mr, Gib- bie were appointed as the com- mission's committee to look afte the arrangements, The first dinner is expected to take place in January or Feb- ruary, 196 Friday, Nov. 30, meeting. U.S. INVESTMENT. Total United States invest- ment in Western Europe in 1962 was estimated at $6,600,000,000 with about half of it in Britain. Students More than 30 high school stu- ents of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Faith were entertain- ed at dinner by the Canadian Ukrainian Womens Association, Baruinok Branch, in St. John's Parish Hall, Bloor street east, recently, The third annual students dinner sponsored by the or- ganization, it was opened with words of welcome by the presi- dent, Mrs, Robert Sholdra. Following grace, the toast to the Queen was proposed by Mrs. Paul Pliska. Each of the students was introduced to the members of the Baruinok Branch. Guest speaker, Nestor Olynyk, Board To Consider Improvements The Union Cemetery Board of Governors will check its budget to see if there is enough money left to make improvements on the administration building on the grounds. Cemetery Supervisor Robert Pearson complained. to the board Thursday night the build- ing's ceiling was too high, and a partition between office, en- trance and the entrance to the lavatory should be built. Board members voted to go along with his suggestions if they have enough money left in the 1962 budget to complete the robs Mr. Pearson estimated the Minas Bie cost of the work at $535. Guests Of Association a Richmond Hill high school teacher, told the students they alone could determine when and if they reach their objec- tives in life. , PROUD OF HERITAGE He said they could be good Canadian citizens only if they remembered they *~ ist be good Ukrainians who are proud of their culture and heritage.

Tenders for the job have been received. The total cos: of the work has not been revealed, but the com- missioners, at their meeting Thursday, referred the tenders to its engineers, Gore and for a report. The main, partly 24inch and partly 16-inch, will be extended from an existing main at Olive avenue and Wilson road south. It will run east along Olive av- enue ana continue east to Grand- view street. It will turn north and run along Grandview, turn east again and cut across prop- erty acquired by the PUC, until it hits Athabaska street. It wiil coutinues north to King street east, The construction of the main problem is the high cost of the main relative to a limited reven- ue from it. The main would be in an area where development is still lim- ited. Whether development in the near future might be expect- ed is uncertain, J. Bruce An- nand, PUC manager, learned from city hall. The area is ad- jacent to a buffer zone and there are no sewers. LIMITED REVENUE property running on one side of Champlain avenue, The com- missioners agreed there is little chance on getting revenue from that side. The total cost of the main would be approximately $10,000. "Are we prepared to spend $10,000 even if the city approves not install a main if it was not economically feasible,' he said. RATES A FACTOR Mr. Annand suggested the commission wait with a decision until it is known whether the commission will be able te raise its rates. : Rates are governed by bylaw, and the PUC is investigating the possibility of raising them, Mr. Annand felt that with a rate increase half of the ohiec- hamplain ¢ of the residents. Another request from King street west residents, immed- iately west of Thornton road, was also referred to the city council. This area is designated as a buffer zone. Apparently, Mr. Annand said, the city does not wish too this? w Commi E. F. Armstrong. Commissioner William Boddy agreed it would be a bad busi- ness deal. On the other hand, he felt, these people are en- titled to water. He felt it is not the residents fault that the highway runs on one side of the road, limiting revenue. "This situation could still be the same a hundred years from now, he said. Commissioner Armstrong felt the commission would have changed its. outlook drastically, even from one year ago, if it were to spend $10,000 on a proj- ect that affords only $180 rev- enue annuaily, "In the past we said we would much development here and wants to be consulted before a main is installed. He said an additional difficul- ty in bd area is = gs prob- lem, Because' of the graphy sewers cannot be installed. REQUEST GRANTED A request for a watermain extension was granted to W. T. Lamson Real Estate Limited, The main will run along Waver- ly street and serve Healy Court, A main exists now at Waverly and Cartier streets. The commission also granted a request for a main to run alo Cedar street between Geneva drive and Wecker drive. The request came from P. Wysotski. is part of the PUC's develop- ment program with regard to future expansion of the city. R. A. Simmons, representa- tive of Gore and Storrie, told the commissioners according to his firm's computations the pop- ulation of Oshawa grows at a rate of 41%4 per cent. The new feeder main, he said, will be sufficient to take care of the demand without a booster station until 1965.

Don won the world singles figure skating title in Prague last winter and later turned professional with (Special to The Times) NEW YORK--Ontario County has more families with incomes over $4,000, proportionately, than have most communities in Canada. Also, it is found, the proportion with low incomes is below average locally. Tt appears that the general movement has been upward for some time. The result has been that many local families have graduated from their former in- come brackets and have moved a step higher. The details are brought out in a Canada-wide study of income groupings, prepared and copy- righted by Sales Management. It shows, for each locality, how much of its population falls Ontario County High Income Area Government reports show that such offsets have been small in the last few years. Most of the added income has become available for spending. FIGURES CITED The SM study lists 19.2 per cent of Ontario County's house- holds in the $7,000 to $10,000 bracket. They received 27.3 per cent of all local income. Those with cash earnings of $2,500 to $4,000, after taxes, com- prised 18.7 per cent of the households. They accounted for 10.4 per cent of the income. The 67.3 per. cent with earn- ings over $4,000. collected 86.0 per cent of the total. within each bracket. The breakdown gives a better understanding of the quality of a market than does the term "average income'. It reveals whether a high income' area is so because of a concentration of wealth at the extreme end of the income scale or whether it is due to relatively good. incomes across the board. SPN NE In Ontario County, the gen- eral level is high and the spread is good. Some, 67.3 per cent of the local households, it | is shown, had cash incomes, after taxes, of $4,000 or more in 1961, This compares favorably with the ratio in the rest of Canada, where only 53.6 per cent of the brackets. In Ontario there were 61.5 per cent. Have the gains been real ones down in their effect by inflation and by increases in the cost of the Ice Capades. living? To Name Streets In Cemetery Named streets to make it eas- ier for mourners to find grave sites were approved in principle Thursday night by the Oshawa Union Cemetery Board, -- Members voted to approve naming of cemetery streets after trees. Chairman James Jackson told the board about six or eight street signs would be needed at various points on the cemetery's main thoroughfare to let visitors know which street they were on. He added that he thought only 12 tree names would be needed to cover the whole cemetery. Mr. Jackson will take on the job of thinking up tree names for the streeets then passing on his ideas to the board.
