Both those approved involved frontage adjustments on King street west. The first, with City Clerk Roy Barrand as appellant concerned properties owned by lis. Winnifred J. McClure was named appellant in the other successful appeal. PAVEMENT COST SOUGHT Donald Brown, 111 Eastlawn and spokesman for two other property owners on the street, told the court their new homes Ralph Vickery and H. Max Col- were advertised as having "'water, curb and pavement pre- paid"'. He said they are now being jasked to pay pavement charges. City Engineer Fred Crome said a 1963 city policy decreed that 'permanent pavement" will be laid on streets where curb and gutter are installed. He described this as three- inch asphalt. In answer to a question, he said other paved streets in the area had only |been surface treated with about three-quarters of an inch of |asphalt. Mr. Crome explained will be required to share the cost. Mr. Brown complained that four lawns on the street are now below the pavement level. GIVEN FINAL GRADE Mr. Crome told the court builders are always given a "final grade" to build to which takes into consideration the final pavement level. He said the grade has up to an 18-inch var- iance and it is not compulsory for the builder to follow it. Mr. Crome described it as a "recom- mended" grade. Two other appeals, by J.

AMAZING CAREER Some say there has never been -- and never will be -- an- other distance runner like Alfie Shrubb In ah antazing career that be- gan in Horsham, Sussex, in 1899 in an unofficial race with a fire wagon and ended in Toronto 32 years later, the little English- man's fleet feet pounded the cinders of 12 countries. He set records by the bundle, and when human competition was scarce he was likely to turn up in_a_race against horses, He once took on a relay team over 10 miles and won. And he was 51 years old when he ran (and won) his final race, a mile af- fair. He was 20 years old and working ar an apprentice build- er in Horsham when his track career was launched. OUTRAN FIRE WAGON Resting at home one evening after a hard day carrying bricks up a 30-rung ladder, Shrubb heard the clanging of a horse- drawn fire wagon. | Dressed in work clothes and heavy boots, he and F. J. |S encer, a member of the Hor-| jsham Blue Star Harriers (track| team), ran three miles to South- vater to what turned out to be a burning stack of straw. | They beat the fire wagon to) the scene and Shrubb was in- Held 24 Records During Lifetime the famed Indian runner, Tom Longboat. - Shrubb recalled beating Long- boat in most of their encounters. One exception was a match marathon -- Longboat's favorite distance -- at the old Madison Square Garden in New York in 1910. Alfie had a comfortable lead after 23 miles but the fa smoke-filled air nauseated him ALFRED SHRUBB In the last two years of his amateur career, which ended when he was in his mid-20s, the 115-pound runner broke almost every record from 2,000 yards (5:07.2) to 11 miles (56:23.4). "The greatest race ever ran was in Glasgow on Nov. 5, 1904," Shrubb recently recalled. "That was wen I broke the one- hour record." He ran 11 miles, 1,137 yards in 60 minutes, a mark that stood f-r many years. (The current m'rk of 12 miles, 809 yards, was set by the great Emil Zato- pek of Czechoslovakia in Sep- tember, 1951.) There were about 20 competi- tors in the race scheduled for 10 miles, All but Shrubb re- ceived handicaps, starting any- where from one to nine minutes ahead. of him. Shrubb staged a quarter-mile burst to catch the final man and break the tape in a record 50:40.6, "Go on for the hour record," someone shouted, Although weary from the final spurt, Shrubb went on to set the hour record for amateurs. |RESIDENT SINCE 1909 In 1909 he and his wife settled in Canada and Alfie began a 10-year professional battle with DAYLIGHT TIME STARTS SUNDAY and he was compelled to retire. Their last race -- after which both runners hung up their spikes--was a one-mile event in 1931 at the Canadian Nationa) Exhibition in Toronto. Shrubb, then 51, defeated the 48-year-old Longboat. BEAT HORSES During his pro career he beat two horses -- each going five miles -- in a 10-mile match. He also defeated a five-man relay team in a 10-mile event on an indoor board track, and came home ahead of a_ three-man team in a six-mile run, Always a showman, Shrubb delighted a crowd in Buffalo, N.Y., during a 15 - mile race against Billy Sherring of Ham- ilton who had won the 1906 marathon at the Olympics in Athens. Finishing a good six laps ahead of Sherring, Shrubb dashed off to the dressing room, returned brandishing a camera and took a picture of his oppo- nent finishing the race. Mr. Shrubb retired after operating the Cream of Barley Tourist Camp and Mill in Bowmanville for the Atlantic 20 times. in 1952 several| years.

A completion date of Aug. 15 has been set. NINE TENDERS Nine tenders were submitted to the board for consideration. Three tenders were disquali- fied, because the companies concerned had not enclosed either a cheque for 3 per cent of their .tender figure or an agreement to bond. One company, which had a lower tender than Bathe and McLellan, was not accepted be- cause the board were not satis- 'fied with work this company had previously done, To cut down the cost of the school it was decided to use aluminum window frames, omit terrazzo flooring from the classrooms, and omit the cera- mic mural the Board had planned at $1,800 to cover a New Separate School Will Cost $165,577 The board had hoped to build the eight-classroom school at a cost of $18,000 a classroom. TENDERS HIGHER Architect Bill Saccoccio, who designed the bui and other schools for the board, explained all tenders were higher than in previous years because of heavy taxation of building materials. He said he could see no ad- vantages in re-tendering for the school unless the Board was pre- pared to have the building modi- fied.

He noted the work of the society had continued to grow in all phases as the community has grown. Despite the fact that we live in an era of un- precedented material wealth many parents seem to lack the capacity to find life satisfying. Their di tent happi- ness is often reflected in their inability to meet the emotional needs, of their children. During the year the society had taken into care 225 chil- dren, a greater number than in any previous year. This was 12 per cent. more than 1962 but represented a staggering in- crease of 134 per cent over the 1959 figure.

He was speaking in rebuttal to the views of Oshawa Medical Officer of Health Dr. C, C. Stew- art and Dr. H. R, Rowsell who spearhead the council's Rehab- ilitation Centre Committee. Both men proposed establish- ing the centre as a possible new extension to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital. Dr. Stewart said that if the Mental Health Clinic is relocated in the hospital "we could pos- sibly work something out there'. Dr. Rowsell said it would be "virtually impossible to get all roof, hab- ilitation facilities rght now", He suggested that "we be practcal, develop the services in the central hospital and then in a few years start to plan a separate centre'.

' "Next to national defence and unemployment, one of the greatest problems faced today by both Canada and the United States is the student drdépout at both the secondary school and universiy levels," declared Jack Dempsey, former heavy- weight boxing champion, here Thursday. In the first of a series of talks which will bring one of the greatest sports idols of the 20th Century before 10,000 more Toronto area secondary school Students in his crusade to keep students in school, Dempsey told students at Dr. F. J. Done- van Collegiate Institute: TRAIN FOR TRADE "You must get more 'out of school because your future em- ployer will expect more of you. A general basic education is all that your mothers and fathers needed. Today, however, you are faced with the problem of not only getting a good basic education but in addition, you must be trained for a profession or a trade. te "Automation has done away with thousands of jobs which the secondary school graduate formerly could fit into. Today if you are to realize your hopes and ambitions for the future you must be well trained for those jobs that machines have not and cannot .take over." Appreciated | Urges Pupils Stay In School in Chicago, one of the largest electronics training centres of its kind in the world, further pointed out: _ "I am here today not at the invitation of your parents, I am here to try to help you. I have nothing to sell. One thought I would like to leave with you: if you expect to make progress when you leave school you must be prepared for a job. If not, you will wind up as one of the foot soldiers in the ever growing army of the unemployed." FACE UNCERTAIN FUTURE Then Dempsey told the stu- dents: "In the United States. today 50 per cent of the male high schoo] students do not go on to universiy. Of those who do, a large number never complete their studies. "'Unprepared students face' an uncertain future after leaving high school. Many are faced with undesirable jobs or . the ranks of the unemployed." In closing, Dempsey said: "Education is a great asset. However, I know a lot of well educated people who are not trained for any particular field. As you study, couple your gen- eral education with a_ specific profession or trade. In this way you. can face the future with confid unafraid," The former 'M Maul- er" who has spent the last 14 years as Inspirational Director| of Students for DeVry Technical Institute of Canada at 970 Law- rence avenue west in Toronto and DeVry Technical Institute Car Hits Fence Four Injured The driver and three passen- gers of a car, which collided with a fence at Simcoe street south and Bloor street early today, were all taken to Osh- awa General Hospital for emer- gency treatment.
