Members of the delegation were Lloyd Bolahood, chair- man; Dr. George Sciuk, Jack Lawrence, Frank Baron, Wil- liam O'Neill, Ernest Marks, QC, and Frank Shine, business administrator, A second meet- ing with the delegation is sched- uled for Sunday, Feb. 16, when nounced. The plans show the school fronting on Stevenson road north with a junior section, comprising Grades 9 and 10, separated from the senior sec- tion, comprising Grades 11, 12 and 13, by corridor and ad- ministration offices. An interesting feature of the plans on the architect's draw- ing was an oval running track, embracing a football field, fac- ing on Stevenson road. Rev. Mother Maura informed the delegation that a full boys' athletic program will be under a male physical education teacher. The girls' athletic pro- gram, she said, would be under a woman physical teacher. The junior section of the school is expected to have from 250 to 300 students when it is opened in September, 1964. A Oshawa, Whitby One Millman Prediction --Oshawa and Whitby will be "one", geographically if not politically, in "far less" than the next 17 years. And each will have expanded in other direc- tions as well. --Soon, there will be a mega- lopolis (very large city) with Hamilton at one end and our awn community at the other. --What we call the Oshawa- Whitby district doesn't matter a bit as long as we recognize that it is a unit. We now have a chance to put good planning into effect on a far, far greater scale than anything we have done --Initiative, energy, leadership and co-operation on the part of those now running the show will length other than on King and Simcoe, because the Depart- ment of Highways paved Ritson between Bloor and King. Bloor street was a dirt road and the bridge across the creek was a rickety old steel truss. LITTLE DEVELOPMENT "There was no General Mo- tors South Plant, just flourishing farm land, no Chariton's yard. In fact there was no develop- ment south of Bloor street (then known as the Base Line), no in- dustrial or residential, except for the small Village of Cedar- dale and a few coal piles near the Harbor. We didn't even have a sewage disposal plant down there. Ask our Mayor how his cattle enjoyed the situation. "The first thing that was done, when the Planning Board was set up under the new Provincial Act, was to establish the prin- ciple of considering the City as a whole and strive to anticipate the effect any one change would have on the surrounding dis- tricts.. We then studied the city as it was and recorded the basic situation and, importantly, the evident trends. NEED BROADER STUDY "Shortly it became apparent that a large broader study must be made.

A brand new bed was burned and clothes hanging in a closet were spoiled by smoke. Mrs. Shea said she could not explain the presence of the light- er in the bedroom. All she knew, she said, was that her three- and-a-half year old daughter Lorna, had been in the room shortly fore the fire broke out.
