OTTAWA (Special) -- Ontario) Riding MP Michael Starr was} reappointed Monday to the post of House Leader of the Pro- gressive Conservative Party. Mr. Starr held the position for some months in the last Parliament following the resig-| nation of Gordon Churchill of Winnipeg. For a time, Mr Starr was both House leader and caucus chairman, but he relinquished the latter post to Waldo Monteith of Stratford who was also. reappointed fo that position Monday.

Spooner said yesterday his department' would look favor- ably upon a request by munici- palities in Ontario County for a study of local governments. He also held out the possibility of a joint study of local govern- ments in Ontario and Durham Counties. Mr. Spooner announced in March that the municipal af- fairs department would conduct studies in nine Ontario areas -- including Ontario County -- in which rapid urbanization has created growing pains. After a transportation hear- ing at Oshawa's city hall yes- terday, Mr. Spooner told The Times a study request would | have to come from Ontario} County municipalities. He said} if the municipalities were in general agreement about hav- ing a study they should form a small working committee to meet with himself and depart- ment officials. When Mr. Spooner was told that the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, composed of four Ontario County and two Durham County Municipalities, discussed the idea of a study last week, he said a joint Dur- ham-Ontario study was a pos- sibility. He said there are many areas where savings can be realized through co-ordinated efforts and that municipal councils must Gunman, | A 20-year-old University of To-|lot and down Yonge st., Mr.; In the parking lot two. other} Lawrence said. jmen joined the chase.

Township Dubbed 'Eating End Of Horse' The eating end of the horse,' was how Pickering Township was described yester- day by Reeve C. W. Laycox Presenting a brief to the Metropolitan Toronto and Re- gion Transportation Study at a public hearing in Oshawa, Reeve Laycox said 87 percent of the township's wage earn- ers commute to and from jobs in Metro Toronto. He said the township's 26,500 population is expected to double within 15 years "Metropolitan Toronto plan- ning proposals, particularly with respect to roads are confined to Metro Toronte proper as if the mutual boundary resembled the Berlin Wall," said Reeve Laycox. "This places Pickering Town- Ship in the position of having to pick up where Metro left off in extending transportation east- erly "The justification of this is that with the exception of indi- cating additional on the Macdonald-Cartier Free- way, a future extension of ; interchanges Lawrence ave., and-the realign- ment and reconstruction of Highway 2, no additional road routes are proposed to accom- modate population increases or increased traffic to the recrea- tional areas which are to be provided in the township, pri- marily for the Metro..Toronto area,'" said the reeve. POPULATION BOOST He said all remaining east- west and north-south routes have been left as a local or county responsibility. He added that rd., the service to Dunbarton will prob- ably increase population but no plans handle vehicle traffic.

'Boy Gets Shots After Dog Bite | Seven-year-old David Hender- json was bitten last week by a dog that may be suffering from rabies -- and posing a threat for children in the Albert st. district. David's mother, Mrs. June Henderson, of James st., said that her son was badly bitten in the right hand when on his way to Albert Street school after lunch a week ago. "I'm worried that this dog may come after some of the other youngsters as the dog control \officer has been unable to find ithe animal. "David 'was: gyven_ tetanus shots as soon as we found that he had been bitten by the dog, and since then he has had to have anti-rabies shots, in case the dog was rabid," said Mrs. Henderson. Oshawa's dog catcher, Matt Muller, said that the German Shepherd dog may have been one reported as breaking away from its master's yard. "A man in the Albert st. district told us of the dog's disappearance last week and said that he would call again if it returned -- we The studies have become com- monly known as "regional goy- ernment" studies but Mr. Spooner said the name is not is. Mr. Spooner said a regional government would not neces- sarily follow county boundaries and that the studies would help clarify ideas and point out how the most efficient services could be provided at the most eco- nomical cost. He said local councils would have to approve a study as half the cost would be paid by the province and half by individual municipalities. One study, in the Ottawa area, has been completed, several have started and more requests for studies are being considered. Mr. Spooner referred to a study recently undertaken in . Welland and Lincoln Counties by a four-man Ontario govern: ment commission led by Unie - versity of Western Ontario Poli- tics Professor Henry Mayo. The... commission will review the fune- tions of the -26 local govern- ments but will have no particue lar objective. The Welland - Lincoln study," expected to take one year, . cost an estimated $75,000 split' 50-50 by the province and local governments. There are 19 municipalities in. - Ontario County including Osh- awa, which is a separated mu- nicipality and not a member of Ontario County council. Oshawa's brief to the Metro- politan Toronto and Region Transportation Study was praised Monday by "Municipal Affairs Minister J. W. Spooner and other members of the study group. The brief recommended that studies be conducted to deter- mine present and future needs for harbor and airport facilities to serve commerce, industry and public transportation in the eastern sector of the region. Robert Richardson, deputy city works commissioner, pre- sented the brief at a public hearing at city hall. Mr. Rich- ardson and five other city offi- cials drafted the brief which was approved by council in September. COMMITTEE PRAISED "I want to compliment the committee for going into these matters in considerable detail," said Mr. Spooner, chairman of the public hearing -- the second of six scheduled in the study region bounded by Hamilton, Barrie and Oshawa. A second brief was presented by Pickering Township. A verb- al presentation by the Citizens' Committee for Creek Valley Conservation was scheduled but no one from the committee was in attendance. John DeHart, committee publicity chairman, said today the committee's law- yer, Nelson Starr, Toronto, plans to present a brief at a transportation public hearing in Toronto and that there must have been a misunderstanding about where the brief would be presented. Mr. Spooner, a member of the study's executive committee, said no recommendations would be made by the study group after individual hearings but submissions would be reflected in the study report to the pro- vincial government early in 1967. haven't heard so far." Oshawa's brief urged that the City Asks Study . Harbor, Airport study group consider the feasl- , bility of using the Oshawa aim port and harbor to meet thé* needs as determined by the studies. It also recommended that transportation rates via road and rail be studied to deter- mine the effect that rate dif- . ferentials throughout the Metro Toronto region may have on the development of city harbor and airport facilities and. also the effect they may have on thé- location of industry and there- fore the transportation facilities to serve industry. 3 AIR SERVICE W. Q. Macnee, department of highways traffic and planning ~ studies engineer and vice-chair- man of the study group techni+ cal, advisory and co-ordinating committee, asked if the possis bility of a shuttle air service from Oshawa to Toronto had ever been considered. George Slocombe, airport manager, said it had been cons. sidered a few years ago using helicopters but "it proved rathe er costly." t Mr. Spooner asked about the ion rate problem. .. James Williams, industrial. commissioner, said the Port of. Toronto is well established and rates are based on port volumes while Oshawa harbor. clients have to negotiate individual rates. Mr. Williams said once the Port of Oshawa became estabs ° lished and _ handled larger volumes it would probably be. possible to get lower rates but - it is difficult to increase harbor volumes with the present high rates. Mr. Slocombe and Mr. Wil- liams, along with G. A.
