Planning Director G, A. Wandless brought a model of the city's downtown section in 1980 to lunch at Adelaide House. The model is based on esti- mates of what buildings would still be functional and which ones would have to come down, to make place for new build. ings. Perhaps one of the more eye. catching aspects of the model is the seven or 10-storey apart- ment buildigs between Albert and Celina streets. Considerable space has been allotted for parking, including a parking garage at Mary and Athol streets, where the city's newest parking lot is now. "Land costs are getting so high that it is almost econom- ical to go up,'"' said Mr. Wand- less. However, he indicated it higher than two storeys with most down town buildings ,un- less high-rise buildings are con- templated. The present model comprises an area between Charles street and Nassau street and King street and John street. Mr. Wandless said the staff of the planning department is work- ing on models of the downtown area north of King street. Said the planning director: "Those connected with the real estate business more than atybody else should be instru- mental in selling these ideas to the people of Oshawa.

At this parti- cular time of year blood and its derivatives are in increased demand. In spite of the natural increase in the use of blood throughout the year the coming holiday emergency demand creates shortages in the blood bank which are next to impos- sible to maintain with many of our regular donors absent. For this reason the committee must aim high at this immediate clinic. Chairman R. H. Stroud has stressed the need to make this clinic outstanding in order to maintain the high level achieved by the Oshawa clinic so that our facilities here do not run short. To do this 500 bottles are needed this Thursday or it is within the realm of possibil- ity that Oshawa be faced with an emergency that the bank cannot meet. To meet the expected in- crease in donors this month the volunteer workers have been increased. More beds and nurses from the Red Cross will be in attendance so that donors will be well looked after. The whole process of donat- ing can be scheduled so that no one need lose any more than 20 minutes to half an hour. A two-minute phone call to either Mrs. Mounce or to Mr. Stroud can arrange a definite time as well as transportation to the clinic and back. of the convention committee; Charles Jennings, Joseph Gib- son and Albert Holliwell from North York; Richard Cham- gates and 43 ladies, Then fol- lowed the naming of com- mittees to deliberate resolu- tions to be brought before the convention.
