But today E..G. McNeely, city solicitor, said they had not completed negotiations. Four months ago, the board decide to buy 20 acres of land to build a 1,300 pupil secondary school in the northeast corner of Oshawa. They paid $2,750 an acre for the land, east of Harmony road north, and adjacent to city boundry with Whitby Township. The land is part of the Lick estate. Completion of the sale was originally scheduled for Aug. 4, then was extended to Aug. 17.

The board decided to engage the firm of Jackson, Ypes of Toronto for the third new school subject to meeting with the company and subject to the boand's approval of mechanical rs. Mr. Saccoccio had already been engaged to design the proposed school on Grenfell Street. The other school he will design will be the one on Wilson road north. A motion presented by trustee Dr. George Sciuk to retain Mr. Saccoccio for all three schools was defeated. Against the mo- tion were trustees Ernest Marks, Mrs. Winona Clarke, Michael Rudka and Frank Baron. Trustees Sciuk, Richard Donald and Lloyd Bolahood were in favor of the motion. Mr. Marks said competition is good in all lines. Dr. Sciuk: could see no reason "to change just for the sake of change." treasurer, favoring the tender method of debenturing and add- ed that a survey of other boards indicates this way is the most popular. His new motion to call for ten- ders was seconded by trustee Frank Baron and unanimously approved by the board. Trust- ees Jack Lawrence, W. J. O'Neill and J. J. Kelly did not attend the meeting. In Friday's edition of The Oshawa Times, Lloyd Bolahood, chairman of the board, was quoted as saying the board has a deficit this year in excess of $100,000 -- money that could have been debentured for and wasn't. This estimated deficit should have been $20,000. Mr. Bolahood explained Monday night that the $100,000 figure was the amount of money the board could have debentured for. | |OPEN CANVASS IN DOWNTOWN Canvassing for the Great- er Oshawa Community Chest got into. full swing in the downtown area today, said Robert Branch, execu- tive-secretary of the organ- ization.

Dick Valleau Quartet, SPEAKER Mr. Ken Crone, President of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, announced to-day that Mr. Kevin Cahill, Direc- tor of Operations for the City of Oshawa, will be the guest speaker at a noon luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce Civic Affairs Committee, to be 'held at the Genosha Hotel, 11.30 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 22nd. Mr. Cahill will be speaking about his activities as Director of Operations for the City of Oshawa in relation to the MAYOR GIFFORD SS Trustee Raps Board Michael Rudka, Separate School board trustee, today crit- icized the Board's decision last night to debenture $708,000 for three new schools. "T. don't believe in debentur- ing for work that has already been completed," stated Mr. Rudka, noting that $50,000 of the total will pay for work that was completed this year. Mr. Rudka said three years ago heating repairs at one school were estimated at $18,- 000 but the total cost this year amounted to $38,000.

"But not in the Recreation Centre," he said this morning in a statement to The Oshawa Times. "I believe in bringing the pool to the children," His Worship continued. "Not the children to the pool." He also took a swipe at a number of local leaders who have sent up cries of "political pressure" in the choice of the $168,000 project to commemor- ate Canada's Centennial Cele bration in 1967. "I don't know what they mean," he said. '"What do they mean by 'politics'? From where? By whom?" Mayor Gifford's main angu- ment against the much - publi- cized 3000-seat grandstand at Alexandra Park was this; It could not possibly benefit all of the people all of the time. It would stand idle for six months of the year. He sympathized with the plight of the Arts-Theatre advo- cates, but maintained that the Centennial Project should bene- fit as much of the population as possible. "I believe we have to have something that is advantageous 12 months of the year," he said. "And it should be directed to- ward the younger people." FAMILIES NEED AID Enlarging on his stand on the location of a pool, he explain- ed: "We have a goodly number the issuing of the debenture was carried on in committee. The press was not permitted to report proceedings. "I'm definitely an open meet- ing man," he declared. "There are a few matters which should be discussed in private but something of this nature should be given to the press and the taxpayers .. . we have nothing to hide." He also criticized the board's decision to build a library and an all-purpose room at two of the three schools. The total cost he said, would be $100,000. Mr. Rudka said the extra rooms should have been planned with any future addition when more students will be attending the schools. City Motorist Given 14 Days Leonard Smith, 21, a 540-Mon- teith avenue man, was sen- tenced to 14 days by Magistrate arry Jermyn here Monday. In addition to this punishment for driving under suspension, he was fined $75 and costs or 15 days concurrent for operating a car without insurance.

The City maintains two out- door pools -- Rotary and Som- erset during the warm months of the year. Pending a provincial ruling to change deadlines, the City must submit their project for approval before Nov. 9. Accused Held On 6 Charges John Ryan of 1400 Cedar street, Oshawa, was in custody pending bail yester- day by Magistrate Harry Jer myn on six sex changes. Without taking a plea, four charges of indecent assault on a female were read to him, along with two of contributing to juvenile delinquency. Defence Counsel Donald Dodds asked that the $5000 bail presently in force be lowered, but Crown Attorney Bruce Af- fleck opposed this on the basis of the serious nature of the charges. Should bail be obtained, the case will be put over until Nov. volved in an accident and con- victed of careless driving. 23. Otherwise the remand Is only effective for one week.

Aubie, she said, tried to twist the receiver out of her hand, damaging her wrist. Her nightgown was torn in the struggle. : Aubie repeated the invitation alleged to have been made by Miss Barrow. He claimed the doors were opened and so he just walked in and denied physi- cally fighting with Mrs. Andrews. He offered to go home, he said, when Mrs. Andrews told him she was going to call police.
