LARGEST POWERHOUSE The Soviet Union plans to build the world's largest power station, six times larger than the present largest, on the Lena River in Siberia. Oshawa's new $1,200,000 Civic Auditorium was turned over to the City last night before a crowd of approximately 1,000. Mayor Lyman Gifford accep- ted the key to the building from Harry Gay, chairman of the building committee. The mayor said he had been asked earlier in the evening if he thought this community centre would be enlarged to in- clude other sports. He said he had not had time to look too closely into his crys- tal ball "but if I were asked this same question a week from tonight I might be in a better position to give a definite an- swer." Mayor Gifford said that "'if it would be at all possible and, if the general public would agree, I would suggest that we have another look at the suggestion made previously that the sport- ing field that now lies closer to | of and the assets there be trans- ferred to this area." He said careful consideration will be given within this next week to further development of this community centre. The mayor said he recalled having suggested this auditor- ium in his inaugural address to city council in January, 1958 "and on April 21 of that same year a motion was passed by Council authorizing the mayor to ascertain the feasibility of proceeding with this proposed project." He said a public meeting was caled May 6, 1958 at city hall and a three-man committee -- Charles McGibbon, Keith Ross and S. T. Hopkins -- was set up to select some 35 men and women to act as a committee. "Not too much was accom- plished until a public meeting, which was poorly attended and somewhat discouraging, was the heart of the city be disposed held May 14, 1959," said Mayor Gifford. "Very little was done from that date until the fore- part of 1963 because of the fact that there was a fund-raising campaign going on to raise money for the Oshawa General Hospital. The auditorium com- mittee did not feel it was in the best interests of the community to have two campaigns going on at the same time." WAS CHAIRMAN He said the next move was at a dinner-meeting in St. Greg- ory's Auditorium when Terence V. Kelly, an Oshawa lawyer, agreed to become chairman of the fund raising campaign, "The. committee could not have chosen a better man for the occasion because it has been proven that his leadership in this field was just what was needed to make our whole pro- ject a success," the mayor said. In regard to future adminis- tration of the building, Mayor Gifford said he would hope that to keep it a community pro- ject, Council would review the BROOKLIN (Staff) Four people were seriously injured in a two-car colli- sion at a fog-covered inter- section near here Friday afternoon.
