"The chief issue affecting this riding of Ontario is the new tariff agreement on automobiles} and auto parts with the U.S.," said Dr. Vipond. "This pact has tremendous implications for the future of the automobile indus- try and for this area. It may well create over 50,000 new jobs in the industry over the next few years. "Inasmuch as Mr. Starr has gone on record as opposing this agreement, I challenge him to a ublic debate on the subject: esolved that the new auto tariff pact with the U.S.A. will be of great benefit to Canada said Dr. Vipond. Yeclines Bid "I don't know whether' I'll have enough time to debate Dr. Vipond," said Mr, Starr. "1 will be too busy with my local and national campaigning. "I think there are many peo- ple in Oshawa directly affected . the agreement who would be glad to debate with Dr. Vipond," said Mr. Starr. On the other main issues in the election, Dr. Vipond said: "The need for majority gov- ernment is a leading issue. "Canada's present prosperity is a fact which is due in large part to Liberal policies -- em- ployment is at an all-time high -- and we have a balanced bud- get for the first time in nearly ten years. "The leading issue for many Canadians. will be the question) "jas to whether Mr. Pearson aie Liberal majority in Parlia- ipond Debate with the problems of Canadian unity. It can be shown that Mr. Diefenbaker was a disastrous failure in that sphere -- in fact he couldn't get along with his own Quebec ministers." "Do you really think a gen- eral election is justified at this time?" he was asked. "I certainly think so. Mr. Pearson and his government have been in a minority position for nearly 24 years and depen- dent on compromises with the small splinter parties, "There has been a lot of good leigslation passed like the new pension plan but there are some difficult matters to be faced in federal - provincial relations and}, constitutional reform, "To achieve his-excellent pro- gram Mr. Pearson is entitled to Mr. Diefenbaker can best deal}ment."

FRIED CHICKEN "KING" MAY OPEN CITY PLANT i*Joe"" Shelve Plan For Annex Immediate plans for expansion of St. Francis School on Elm- ridge ave, urged by Trustee Ivan Wallace last night were shelved by the Separate School Board. He said 100 houses in the. St. Francis area are under con- struction, with 70 ready for oc- cupancy by spring and "'this time next year 250 houses will be added to the area east of the school calling for a six - room addition". Trustee Dr. George Sciuk in disagreement said the board should first consider a senior svhvel for the area which would relieve crowding at Holy Cross, St. Francis and St. Gertrude's| schools. "I agree we need a senior schee!,"' said Trustee Wallace, but the rapid expansion in the St. Francis area will present us with a problem if we stall until next March," report. "g sunsee we ask another expert to analyze the sur- yey and tell us what would happen if a more westerly throughway was built and if relief was provided for Sim- coe st., by joining up Cen- rey Church, Golf and Som- erville sts., from Gibb st., to Taunton rd.," Mr. Mill- man told planning board. Mr. Millman said his sug- Tans on be mY URGED gestion would not result in great expense as the sec- ond expert would be using figures already developed in the survey. "If this i agreed in full with Nick Damas, council would be justifed in going ahead on the present plan," said Mr, Millman. "If he showed that an- other route would provide good value then we may be able to have traffic flow, plus creek valley, plus golf course," he said. The board took no action on Mr. Millman's suggestion last night but has scheduled i another meeting next Wed- nesday to continue express- way discussions. Members praised Mr. Millman for his report. 'He didn't take any sides . . it was an excellent report," said Mayor Lyman Gifford. But Dennis Tyce and Ald. Clifford Pilkey asked what 'would happen if the second expert contradicted Mr. Damas. "You would be back to nothing," said Mr. Tyce, Mr. Millman saié-he be "quite objective views" because "'b this expressway could my, the time in full I won't be board the movement of traffic is of such importance that every- pie | else must be given a much lower degree of im- portance or whether some compromise can be reached that will let the city retain some of the other things it values without making the solution of the traffic prob- lem "impossible".

Dr. Doherty urged the board to recommend to council that: --Damas and Smith, traffic consultants, present an alterna- tive means to handle traffic movement; --no expressway construction be started until Damas and Smith present an alternative to the valley expressway; --no building permits be is- sued by the city along north- south cofridors west of the val- ley until the Damas-Smith alter- native is considered. The board took no action on the proposal last night but it has scheduled a special meet- ing on Wednesday. Nick Damas will be invited to attend. Dr. Doherty said the citizen's committee feels the require- ments of people should take pre- cedence over the demands of traffic flow and noted that the Damas and Smith report deals only with traffic. "Let us profit by the exper- fence of others," he said, re- ferring to articles and com- ments by planning and traffic officials in Canada and the United States, expressing con- cern about cars strangling down- town areas and turning them into asphalt jungles. Dr. Doherty said the commit- tee has been called "old fash- joned, standing in the way of progress and _ obstructionists, but nothing is further from the truth. The committee simply expresses the experience of others," he said. 7-Acre Site To Be Bought The separate School Board last night voted to purchase a 7-acre school site at Rossland and Stevenson rds. from the Sis- ters of St. Joseph. The parcel, approximately 340 feet by 900 feet deep, will be bought at about $3000. per acre, the same price as the sisters paid two years ago. Trustees visited the site prior to the board meeting and agreed it was too good an opportunity to pass up as Trustee Ernest Marks remarked. The sisters had agreed infor- mally to sell the board enough land-to meet. its requirements a week ago.

Robert Nicol, campaign man- ager, said today in addition to! the canvass, committee speak- jers are lined up to speak to linterested groups in Oshawa about the expressway. Mr. Nicol also said the com- mittee plans to meet with On- tario Minister of Highways |C. H. McNaughton to discuss {the expressway and alternate routes, as soon as the minister jreturns from his trip to Japan. Residents near the Creek Val- jley, he said, are "indignant" that soil tests are being made on their properties, presumably for the expressway, without any prior notification that the tests Col.

Between times Mayor Gifford did his best to promote Osh- awa as the site for the Sander's processing plant "We. have just the building you need,"' he told the visitor. '"'And we have the cheapest water and. hydro rates you'll find any place." The canning plant is the new- est venture for Col. Sanders a man who began his fried chicken franchise business nine years ago. He operated a res- taurant and motel: in Corbin, Kentucky, for many years until a infer-state highway by-passed the town. As be bad lost his business, Coy Sanders used his first so- cial security cheque to buy gas- oline for his car and drove off to sell franchises for the family fried chicken recipe. The business has grown in the past nine years and the Ken- tucky fried chicken has more than 1,000 dealers Last year Col. Sanders sold out his U.S. interests, made his home in Cooksville, and now will develop the Canadian plant. "I love Canada," he told Mayor Gifford. 'There is ao people I have more love and admiration for than Cana- dians." Col. Sanders also told the Mayor of some of his boyhood experiences, "I had a job, clear- ing land for a farmer, paying two dollars a month, I lost the job afier @ tnontb. "My mother told me I would never amount to anything so I resolved to give everything I could to the next job I had and be a success, My advice to the young folks today would be to do the same thing--work hard." The mayor thanked Col. Sand- ers for the confidence he placed in Oshawa. "I'll have to look over a few places before I de- cide where to locate,"' the Col- onel answered "We'll have to have room to expand because this business is going' to grow -- just like my goldarned chicken business."

The board, during a_ three- hour meeting at city hall, sched- uled a special "expressway" meeting for next Wednesday and will invite traffic consultant "Nick" Damas to attend and answer questions. Twenty minute talks on the valley roadway were presented by Dr. Brian Doherty, co-or- dinating director of the citizen's committee for valley conserva- tion and by lawyer E. F. Bas- tedo, representing the Oshawa Golf Club. Norman Millman, former board chairman, also expressed his views on the roadway dur- ing the meeting. City council last month referr- ed Mr. Damas' interim report, on the north portion of the route from Bond st., to Taunton rd., to the board for study, com- ments and recommendations. Questioned by chairman K. D. Crone about council's referral motion, Mayor Lyman Gifford said: "As I understand it the south portion of the route, from Went- worth st., to Bond st., is water over the dam . ... council has lasked the board to consider the! north portion only." (A final re- port on the southern portion was presented to council by Mr. Damas in January.) if there was any point in the board discussing the northern portion of the roadway if the southern portion has been settl- ed by council . . . "'it's just a matter of engineering'. "T think the board has been a little remiss in not taking a more active step in looking into the entire route," said board member W. A. Woodcock. Other comments by members during the meeting includud: "You have a problem with traffic and you have to face up to it," said Dennis Tyce. He said the golf club doesn't represent too many citizens in Oshawa and that he is a little dubious about the citizen's committee. Ald. Richard Donald said properly organized public hear- ings should be held after the final Damas and Smith report is received by council. Ald. Clifford Pilkey said the city has a traffic problem now which is going to get worse. He said he has not heard of an al- ternative route that would fit the need but if there is one, the board and council should con- sider 'it seriously, 'With what I've heard tonight I think there is justification for the board to request or urge council not to take any imple- mentary action wntil further studies are made," said Mr. Woodcock, "T think we'll have to talk it out a lot Mr. Crone said he wondered what to do, sald Mr. Crone. Tears streamed down from the big blue eyes of little three-year-old Pauline Anne Houghton after she lost her royal blue tricycle. Rather than face her mother and father with the bad news, she boarded a city bus and went looking for her favorite playtime vehicle. She had abandoned the "trike" somewhere between her home at 300 Grenfell st. (Apartment 102) and the intersection of King and Simcoe sts. Pauline boarded the bus at the "four corners" with- out any trouble as the driv- er thought she was accom- panied by another woman who also got on the bus.

He said the club is in debt now pay- ing for the recently constructed clubhouse facilities. "Council, before considering approval of the northern por- tion of the expressway, should direct that an alternative route be found and let council mem- bers decide if the disadvantages of the alternative outweigh cut- ting into the golf course," said Mr. Bastedo. He said the 60-year-old course has the status of a champion- ship course in the province; that it is a "landmar' oe in the city; that it is the only: sub- stantial recreation centre in Oshawa; and that it has wide appeal and wide use. -| Fuel Oil Plan had discovered her missing and called police.
