Peter Dobbins, a grade- three pupil at St. Gertrude's Separate School, decided to set everyone singing along with his version of 'O Can- ada'. Eight-year-old Peter, a poet from way back, wrote the words to Canada's un- official national anthem as an assignment set by his teacher, Mrs. Doris Araujo. "My teacher gave the class the idea about. two weeks ago," Peter told The Times, 'so I just sat down and wrote it as it is. I guess it took me about two hours.

E Aaa cach , é GEORGE CHOW JOHN LOCMELIS GARY GRAHAM Question . . . Do you think Oshawa Generals will win its best-of-seven Ontario Hockey Association Junior 'A' series with Niagara Falls Flyers? George Chow, King St. W.: 'Yes: I think the Generals will win if they play as well as they did in Oshawa Saturday night when they beat the Flyers 3-2. At least I hope they do." John Locmelis, Chestnut St., Whitby: "No. The Gen- erals can't expect to beat the Flyers in their own arena when they can only win by a narrow margin at home." Gary Graham, RR 3, Bowmanville: "No. I would like to see them win but I can't foresee the Generals beating the + powerful Flyers who led the league this year. The Flyers have the extra game at home and are more strategically equipped to beat Oshawa in their smaller arena." Rene Pleau, Bond St. E.: 'No, I don't think the Genrals will win because it is a home-team series. The team that plays at home wins and Niagara has the last home game." Brian Twaites, Oshawa Blvd. N.: ""'I could tell you better after the series -- but seriously I think that if the Generals are up for tonight's game in Niagara Falls they will win at home Saturday night and take the series four games to two." Martin Rhodes, Sussex St.: 'Yes, Generals will win the series in seven games. The Flyers lost their best goaltender with an injured hand and I figure the Generals can pump the necessary goals behind the Falls' sub goalie." | jwork it RENE PLEAU' BRIAN TWAITES MARTIN RHODES | |children to travel to school on, a dozen of the "parents of pupils| Students. of Sunset Heights School" organ-|,, . _-- 79) ization, the board decided tol yor pPenegor| goin ib of send a Jeti to the Fatice Conlin, special bus offered is most|/"SET A PRECEDENT" for dangerous stretches of Taun- unsatisfactory," he said.

What does Peter think of Prime Minister Pearson's new flag? 'It's just great," he says. Mrs, Dobbins said that Peter has been writing verses for some time. 'We gave him a children's ency- clopedia when he was in kindergarten,' she stated "and the articles in that seemed to start him off. No serious stumbling blocks face the proposed regional plan- ning board, a government repre- sentative said last night in Osh- awa. John Pearson of the Com- munity Planning Branch of the Department of Municipal Af- fairs, told The Times following his meeting with members of |six area councils. and planning |boards, he saw no major reason |why J. W. Spooner, Minister of Municipal Affairs, might delay japproval of a joint planning area, "A tremendous amount of spade work has been done (by area officials)," said Mr, Pear- | son. He said the new regional board could be approved in a "matter of weeks' and be in operation by the end of May or early June. Mr. Pearson answered ques- tions posed by about 60 council and planning board members at the three-hour meeting in Osh- awa's council chamber. Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whit- by, East Whitby Township, Whitby Township and Darling- ton Township councils have each approved a six-point resolution, outlining the basis of the board's formation and request- ing Mr. Spooner to designate the six municipalities as a joint planning area. The heads of the municipal- ities will arrange a meeting to present the resolution to Mr. Spooner as soon as possible. The six points cover represen- tation -- five Oshawa members and two, each form the other five municipalities; operating cost for the first year $35,000 or 31.5 cents per capita; wherever desired, member municipalities will continue to maintain their planning boards as subsidiary boards within the joint planning Minister May Endorse New Area 'Within Weeks' Mr. Pearson said a municipal- ity could indicate it was not will- ing to participate further and could stop contributing fi- nancially. But, said Mr. Pearson, the planning area, designated by the Minister, would remain and other municipalities could carry on, Some boards, in other parts of the province are not working, he added. This, he said, is where the growth is not spreading out and township members are not participating. "Annexation sometimes gets in the way too," he added. Mr. Newman said it would be the responsibility of the regional board to lay out a program. No terms of reference have been defined, he said, because for the first year especially, the terms might be restrictive. Mr. Pearson said four gen- eral terms of reference ap- proved by other regional boards are: 1, staff shall service mem- ber municipalities; 2. staff will help carry out a public educa- tion program; 3. the board will begin a program of studies lead- ing to the main goal -- an offi- cial plan for the area; 4. staff, on request, will prepare data for municipalities making presenta- tions to higher levels of govern- ment, "At some point, does planning hurt someone?" Oshawa Ald, Norman Down asked Mr. Pear- son. "Yes," he replied. "But bad planning hurts more people for generations." Mr. Newman said there has been a sincere effort by munici- palities to co-operate. "Each municipality felt the concept of regional planning. had some merit," he said, "None of us can indicate in de- tail what will happen when the board is formed." tral Area, Mr. Pearson said the only point Mr. Spooner might sug- gest altering is the name of the board.

I could not vote for the bill, but I did not propose to vote against the government. "I simply wanted to speak my mind and then refrain from voting. My vote would not And NDP Over Bill Issue change the end result in any event. But the rules do not per- mit this," Mr. Walker resolved his dilemma by not speaking--and not voting. He stayed out of the House during debate on the bill. "I am a very firm supporter of this government and _ will always remain so," he said in a statement. 'However, I cannot support the principle of com- pulsory bargaining. "While I feel that the facts behind this bill, for maintain- ing essential services in hos- pitals, are basically sound, I cannot agree that hospital em- ployees should be confined, by the implementation of compul- sory arbitration. "Tt may be true that we have had some indication of strikes in hospitals but I do not feel that, basically, hospital em- ployees realize the grave re- sponsibility which they carry insofar as patients in hospitals are concerned, Desmond Newman, chairman of the meeting, said the pro- posed board involves'a "core area", In future, he said, the regional board may re-form or readjust to meet the need -- whether it be a county planning board or an extension of the east-west planning area. "The regional board must be subservient to the councils," said Mr. Newman. 'Individual! municipalities will have joint control over the joint board." | SIGNIFICANT TREND |. "You are part of a significant trend across the province," Mr. Pearson told the gathering. He said rural and urban mu- nicipalities have more and more in common and less reason to make decisions separately; the need for spending money and getting professional planning help is "almost automatic" in municipalities; the city - county relationship is becoming signifi- cant and '"'the county movement in the last two or three years has been unprecedented"'. The question of whether a mu- nicipality could "opt out" (with- draw) from the regional board was discussed several times dur- In Toronto More than 50 Oshawa and District trade unionists will be in Toronto tomorrow in sup: port of the Ontario Federation of Labor's annual brief to Prem- ier John Robarts.
