SIMCOE HALL CROWDED Discussing various points, Mr. Alger, the general chairman of the project, said: "In 1959 it be- came apparent something had to be done at Simcoe Hall, which was crowded beyond the capacity of building and staff. It was decided to make a de- tailed survey of the south area of Oshawa to find out where further services were needed for boys and girls and the type of building required." survey was conducted with the full co-operation of all Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths, $chools, police and health departments. As a result of the survey, and with the close co- operation of Oshawa City Coun- cil, Oshawa Parks Board and the Neighborhood Parks Asso- ciation; it was decided that the best site for the club was East- view Park. The location of the building has already been staked out on the _ north- west corner of the park -- street boundaries being Eulalie avenue on the north and Central Park boulevard vn the west.

Ontario County Clerk- Treasurer William Manning said Thursday a special com- mittee was named by Warden Earl Dowsdell to study Osh- in Whitby. He said the four-man com- mittee,. headed by Pickering Township Reeve Sherman Scoit, was appointed during the No- vember county council meeting. "It is on the agnda for Jan- uary and the committee has al- ready given the matter some study,"" Mr. Manning said. However, no one has yet ex- plained why Oshawa's city fa- thers have not yet had any offi- cial notice (in writing, that is) of the step taken by the county. Mr. Scott could not be reach- ed but Wilfrid H. Gould, new Uxbridge reeve and a member of the special committeen said Friday no meetings have been held and the agreement has not been discussed. "We did not want to start negotiations so close to election time," he said, "because we didn't know whether the compo- sition of the committee would change." "There is no use starting ne- gotiations this year with the pos. sibility of having to rename the Oshawa alderman Albert Ald. Walker is chairman of the joint city-county committee dealing with detail on the plann- ed $1,000,000 courthouse-county administration building.

Ald. Walker also emphasized the old agreement because "'it will undoubtedly be the basis of the new agreement." TENTATIVE APPROVAL He said the Ontario Munici- tentative approval for debentur-: ing the city's expected $350,000 share of the building cost -."if we can cut down somewhere else in our debenture program." Last Sept. 27, Oshawa mem- bers of the joint committee (fi- nance and property committee members plus Mayor Christine Thomas) met with T. W. Bed- dall, Toronto architect who has designed the new building. Mayor Thomas asked if sep- arate costs, both capital and maintenance, c ould be accur- ately estimated. Mr. Beddall's answer was, "Yes, I think so". He said at that time the design "lends it- self to this". TWO ANGLED WINGS The building -- as now design- ed -- has two angled wings, for county offices and administra- tion of justice offices, anchor- ed by the courthouse. At a late October council committee meeting Ald. Wal- ker reported that the joint com- mittee had approved a 10 acre site in Whitby and it had been the importance of revamping pal Board has given the citylThomay elaimed that the com: ee repo ; a Since then, on Nov. 14, On- tario County council voted to op- tion a 15-acre: site instead of the 10 acres earlier proposed. Expect Cost Discussion Early In The New Year decided to proceed with plans for a combined (all-in-one) building. And, most important, the city's committee was given "power to act'. This was important because, prior to this the city repre. sentatives' powers. had been defined. Mayor Oshawa will be required to share in the cost of acquiring the five acres, Times on Nov. 15. Mr. Man. ning says the county decided on an additional 10 acres, rather than five, for 'insurance pur- poses". reported The It has been agreed that cost sharing, where it is called for, will be on a population basis. Maintenance _costs, of course, still await settlement. Earlier this week, the coun- ty's property committee sub. mitted a report to the county council. It revealed that soil tests on the site have proved "satisfactory" and the property has been surveyed. A bylaw has been passed au- thorizing purchase of the land which has a frontage of 922 feet with a depth of 708 feet. AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH Sunday, Dec. 23, will mark another milestone in the history of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church in Oshawa. While the interior of the new church building has not been completed, Rev. Derek Allen has finalized plans to hold a special Christmas Service in the new. church. This service will mark the first time in a number of years that both the church and Sunday School classes could be held at the same time. Mr. Allen also announced that the service for Dec. 30 would also be held in the new building along these same lines and the congregation would then hold their services in the old church building until the day of the Dedication Service. SPECIAL MUSIC Frank Walter, organist and choir leader, has arranged a special musical service for Dec. 23 which will feature some of the Christmas Carols. The children of the Sunday School will conduct a special which all parents and friends of the church are invited. M. Cairns and D. Turner, members of the building plan- ning committee ,will be meeting! with the architect and the con- tractor early in January to strike a date on which the church will be completed and to set a date for the dedication service. PLAN DEDICATION Ian K. Chalmers, clerk of the session, has been planning service for the dedication and Holidays! ! Use New Church For First Time who will take an active part in this service. While his plans are fairly well under way, nothing can be actually done in this di- rection until such time as the date has been finalized. Eric M. Pym, the treasurer of St. Paul's, reported at a recent meeting that the every home canvass which has just been completed has been very suc- cessful. At least 60 per cent of the members and adherents have increased their church pledges over last year while a fair number of new pledges has been received from both new members and some of the old who had not pledged before. MUCH TO BE DONE In planning to hold the final two church services of 1962 in the new church building, Mr. Allen stated "that although a fair amount of work still re- mains to be done to complete the structure, it is only fitting, that as a tribute to all who have worked so hard in the past year to make our new church a real- ity, that all members and friends of St. Paul's be permit- ted to worship together with their families in their new sur- roundings. By holding Sunday School atthe same time as the church service all members are urged to attend as a family, for, as a member of the Session was heard to say, "A family who prays together -- stays to gether". All members and friends of St. Paul's Church are urged to jattend this first service in the new church building.on Sunday, the|/Dec. 23, at 11 p.m. and also also preparing igvitations for all to bring their children out to Sunday.
