- COL. McLAUGHLIN TO DONATE OVER $200,00 McLAUGHLIN PUBLIC LIBRARY SKETCH SHOWING NEW TOP FLOOR Through the generosity of Col. R. §&. McLaughlin an addition of some 7,500 square feet will be made to the McLaughlin Public Li- brary. The Bagot street library was a gift from Col, Mc- Laughlin to the 'people of Oshawa in 1954. The addi- tional 'space, at a cost of more than $200,000, will ex- pand almost al] adult, youth and reference library facil- ities. A major feature of the planned addition will be the Col. R. S. McLaughlin read- ing room, which will also double as a board room for the library board of direc- tors. When first approached with the idea of the read- ing room Col. McLaughlin was concerned that it might encroach upon library facil- ities. The library commit- tee persuaded him to. ac- cept the idea on the grounds that the room will be used as an adult reading room and also that it will even- tually house much of the in- valuable historical material rela' to Oshawa which Cal. home, "' PERMANENT DISPLAY | The library board felt that the McLaughlin mementos should be, placed on a per- and the library committee planned that such an eddi- tion could be built if growth made it necessary.

Con- struction of the addition: may be underway by No- vember, he said. "It is our intention to carry out the construction of the extension as the late Mr. Eadie would have wish- ed," he said. "We can tell from original drawings what he had in mind. "The McLaughlin Public Library was one of Mr. Eadie's finest works, and should be handled with re- spect," said Mr. Pentland. Mr. Pentland was also en- thusiastic about the pro- posed reading room. 'We are aware of the historic importance of the collection and will build the room around it," he said. 54,000 In Ten-Y Oshawa's population was 46,- 071 when the McLaughlin Public Library was opened in 1954 and had shot to more than 70,000 10 years later.

City "council last night, meet- ing in committee, agreed to ap- point two more members to the board as suggested in a letter to council by board chairman K. D. Crone. The appointments are subject to ratification at Monday's for- mal council meeting. Mr. Crone said five of the seven board members have been appointed to the new Cen- tral Ontario Joint Planning Board; that all members are extremely busy; and that it is difficult .to have sufficient strength at all city board meet- ings.

Oshawa Folk By JOHN FRY of The Times Staff One-way streets are great -- for the motorist. Drivers on King and Bond sts., now patrol an extra lane in their armour-plated vehicles with the comfort that they all belong to the same organiza- tion -- the Same Direction Fra- ternity. Now automobile owners can zip up and down the city with no opposition from their fellows. Before the one-way streets were baptised by city council there was a sobering mixture of traffic in either direction to dampen the zeal of auto oper- ators. This is gone now and while the drivers, after a few days 'of minimal confusion, have cheerfully blessed the one-way) arteries, what about the pedes- trians? For the first few days, one pedestrian, cautiously testing walking conditions mid-block, was just getting used to the cars pointed east in formation from curb-even-unto-curb when he was confronted by a large red sign west of Simcoe st., "TURN BACK YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY". TIMING UNFORTUNATE The psychological timing was unfortunate. Luckily, however, he was made of firmer. stuff and after it was patiently ex- inot lready to plained that. the message was for pedestrians, he was cross the street, All Members Of 'Same Way Fraternity' One bright morning he steppea confidently between the white lines across King st, at Mary, when the light turned green. There they were: four-lanes- full. He felt a little like Moses walking the bottom of the Red Sea while the waters were parted. They were lined up, glinting and growling, as if they were grey-hounds at the track giving the rabbit a head start. It was bad enough before. But at least then the force was di- vided in its direction. Had it not been for the Osh- awa PUC's reputation for elec- tronic wizardry and reliability the lonely walker might not have had the courage to go on. SALUTED STEEL HORDES Safely on the other side, he turned and saluted the steel |hordes respectfully as they roar- ed off leaving clouds of carbon monoxide in their wake. ' Unfortunately the pedestrian was an infantry reservist ac- customed to walking long dis- tances and receptive to coms mands -- so he had no inclin- ation to cross the street in the middle of the block. Hati he been foolish enough to try crossing without lights he's surely have become another alarming traffic statistic. He would never have beef. able to learn to look in the op- posite direction for oncoming traffic as well as grasp the other new walking disciplines necessary to survive the aavi- 6 gation of one-way streets.
