The centre would include a supermarket, stores and a six-suite office building. Dr. G, H.

"This is a pretty good solution to what has been a hell of a knotty problem," said board member W. A.

"We were returning from Ux- bridge, where Campbell had been playing hockey," he said, "on the way south I noticed a car coming towards us at an angle "I looked out to see if we were on the right side of the road. We were, and then the other car ploughed into us." Mr. Roughley, who was ser- iously injured in the accident said that the Campbell car was travelling between 50 to 60 mph. BLOOD SAMPLES Acting-Crown Attorney John Humphries said that blood sam- ples taken from MacNeal show- ed 2.0 parts of alcohol per thou- sand. "The dividing line between impaired driving and drunk driving is usually set by the} courts at 1.5 parts per thou-| sand," he said. MacNeal, father of six chil- dren, between the ages of four and 12, was returning home| from work at Du Pont of Can- ada Ltd., Whitby. PC Ray Goodwin, of the On- tario Provincial Police, Whitby detachment, said he had investi- gated the accident. He told the jury that an almost empty ale bottle was found in the right breast pocket of MacNeal's coat. The officer said the cars land- ed about 150 feet apart after the collision, and that the Camp- bell vehicle sheared off a hydro pole as it careened off the road. Both cars were wrecked. MacNeal was found lying on the rear floor of his car, said PC Goodwin, He added that Dr. Matthew Dymond, who was one} of the first on the scene, said that MacNeal died almost im- mediately from multiple injur- Apartment Study Near Completion An apartment development stiidy in Oshawa will be com- pleted in about one month. G. A. Wandless, planning di- rector, told board members last night the study report, being) man Norman Millman, is near- ing completion. Three rezoning applications for apartment buildings, with a total of 908 suites, are being held, pending the report. One of them is a $6,000,000 north end apartment proposal, submitted by Sam Jackson Jr., who would like to build eight buildings with a total of 652 suites on the west side of Ritson rd., south of Nonquon rd., about 1,000 feet north of Beau Valley. "I think it's premature to deal with this before Mr. Mill- |man's report," said board mem- ber W. A. Woodcock. "It will change the whole character of the area."

OK'd By City One hundred and seventy homes in the city are sub-stan- dard, Oshawa's planning board learned last night. The board approved the es- tablishment of a committee to investigate and study permis- sive legislation which could lead to a minimum housing and property standards bylaw for Oshawa. S. D. Hyman, Real Estate Board reprsentative at board meetings, said a Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation report said 170 homes in Osh- awa and 1,700 homes in the dis- tricts from Pickering Township through to Bowmanville were substandard for various rea- sons.

G. A. Wandless, planning di- rector, said permissive legisla- tion approved by the provincial government over one year ago gives "quite wide" powers to municipalities. He said under certain conditions the city would have the power, subject to ap- peal, to order demolition of a building. The special committee, com- posed of Dr. Watt and repre- sentatives of the city planning and = engin gs de will meet with the Co Planning Branch of the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs to in- vesigate the legislation. The committee will report back to the planning board. A resolution from the City of Sudbury asking that the per- missive legislation be e: to include commercial and in- dustrial properties as well as residential, will also be studied by the committee. Lawyer Says The 'idea of the little man" on Colborne st. e., should not be ignored in his request for rezoning, lawyer Z. T. Sal- mers told members of Osh- awa's planning board last night. Mr. Salmers represented a e., who want rezoning to per- mit parking, stores and apart- ments. The request was turned down "The people who want the zoning changed should come to us with a definite proposal," said W. A. Woodcock, board member. "We don't want a lot Little Man" Should Not Be Ignored Ald. Richard Donald said 'at a recent public hearing, many residents on Colborne st., east of Mary st., opposed a similar rezoning request.

Shrubs too are being accorded' more interest than ever before. At the Cooper Smith Co. on Celina st. a mew species of green gladioli went on sale for the first time this year. "We were sold out within a few days," a spokesman said today. "It has been a mad house down here for the last two weeks or so. It is still pretty hectic too." NOT POPULAR Vegetable growing is not too popular with city gardeners. The advent of the supermarket killed this once popular activity. A hard core of growers, how- ever, keep the demand up.

Planning board last night decided to recommend to city council that the name of the street be changed to John st. The board's action was prompted by a letter from the city's engineering department noting that the jog between John st., and Elmgrove ave., at Park rd. s. will be eliminated this summer when John st. is widened. If council adopts the board's recommendation, a bylaw will be introduced and residents will have the opportunity to protest. west of Harmony rd., and east of Riverside dr., to permit 's 32-unit, four-storey apartment building. Mr. Saimers, acting for a client, said the land which fronts on King st., and Palace st., "is ideally located and can serve better as an apartment building." Existing zoning would permit two duplexes on King st., and two single-family dwellings on Palace st. "There are some real expen- sive homes in the whole area south of this land," said Ald, Clifford Pilkey. "People would be just storm- ing up here if the board re- zoned to permit a large apart- ment building."
