- Council Endorses Liquor Plebiscite; To Vote Sept. 25 W PICKERING (Staff) ~ Pick- ering Village Council last night ly passed a bylaw to hold a liquor plebiscite in the village on Sept. 25. All three readings of the bylaw went through without question. Village residents will be ask- ed four questions in the plebis- cite in September. The four questions will be on allowing a liquor store, a brewer's retail store, a dining lounge with liquor and a liquor lounge. The bylaw was prepared after Liquor Vote motel - restaurant owner Her- bert Moodie appeared -- before council last month requesting that a plebiscite be held so that his Highway 2 location could remain competitive with the new Carousel Inn being con- structed in Ajax. Mr. Moodie told council at that time that he did not wish beer beverage rooms in the vil- lage and that he would petition the village if council did not pass a bylaw to hold the plebis- cite.

From East- ern Passage, Nova Scotia, Bruce thinks. Ontario is "beautiful". And he can say it, too, even without his two front teeth. Bruce was one of many youngsters having fun in the sun yesterday af- ternoon on slides, swings, or just plain tearing around the tree-studded park. Lake Ontario made Bruce fee] like he was having a_ holiday near the familiar Atlantic shores on an especially calm. day.

Times for do- nors are from 1.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon and from 6 until 9 in the evening. This month the clinic has set itself with a target of 500 bottles. This is well over a hundred up on the ordinary monthly demand. "We are hoping that peo- ple will turn out," Mr. Stroud said. "Last month we had the American Gem- ini flight on television. This cut into the expected turn- out. ; "Fortunately there are no big events on tomorrow night. I would ask every- body to make a_ special effort to come to the clinic. The need for blood is des- parate. "Tt doesn't hurt and there is absolutely -nothing to be frightened of."

Floating 'Body' 'Drums' Up Boat It looked like a body floating in the lake so a worried citizen telephoned the Oshawa Fire Department. Expecting the worst the fire department rushed to the scene and, commandering a_ boat rowed out to the scene. The body turned out to be a large black oil drum lazily rolling in the cold waters, "We get three or four calls like this every summer", a fire spokesman told The Times this morning. '"'We have to check Janitors OK Strike - Against School Board 61 Out Of 80 Attend Enthusiastic' Meet A 98 percent vote in favor of striking was recorded last night by more than three-quarters of the members of Local 218, Ca- nadian Union of Public Employ- ees, Janitors and maintenance workers at city public and schools voted to strike in an ef- fort to force settlement of con- tract demands with the Oshawa' Board of Education. Wages, increased vacations, night shift premium and a re- duced work week are in dispute. The union contract expired Mar. 31. Douglas Lindsay, president of Local 218, said today 61 per- sons attended the meeting at King Street Senior Public School. Only one, he said, voted against a strike. The local has almost 80 members and Mr. Lindsay said four sick members and some on holidays were unable to attend. He said if no agreement is reached, the local will legally be able to strike seven days after the conciliation board, sched- uled to sit July 29-30, hands down its report. 5 "It's hard to say how long it will be before the report is handed down,"' said Mr. Lindsay. "We don't anticipate any wild- cat walkouts," he said, "'but union members gave an enthus- iastic demonstration after the strike vote was taken." Mr. Lindsay said the local is "always: ready" to meet with management representatives but no meetings before July 2 are scheduled. The strike vote followed a@ bargaining session Monday by union and management repre- sentatives before a conciliation officer. Mr. Lindsay said after the Monday meeting little progress was made. He said the local would seek the support of local construction unions, in the event of a strike, to close down ex- tensions being built at O'Neill Collegiate, McLaughlin Colleg- iate and the new Grandview public school. The union' representative on the conciliation board will be William Harding, chairman of the General Motors barg committee for Local 222, Unit- ed Auto Workers. The board of education's nominee is Donald Houck of Toronto. The board will be chaired by Judge R. W. Re- ville of Brantford. Playing It Safe With Flags, Queen?

Spray Can 'Artist' Sought By Police A run' of vandalism at the Ridgeway Senior Public School is being investigated by Oshawa police. | It started a couple of weeks ago when a string of five spot lights at the front of the school were smashed. Total damage was put at over $30. Then during the last few days a vandal armed with a can of spray enamel has been busy. School. janitor Arthur Harri- son reported that obscenities had been crudely sprayed on both back and front of the building in black paint. Crudities had also been spray- ed on both rear doors to the school. A long line of black paint was painted on a front wall. The school flag pole had been streaked from top to bottom. Some days earlier the pole was found lying on the ground. The padlock at the bottom of the pole had been removed.

A new 10-room public school on Grandview north of Olive av. will be ready by the fall. The $221,000-building will have nine standard classrooms and a kindergarten room.
