She Gimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1965 Busy, Booming Year For City 1965 was a good year for Oshawa. Highlights, and there were many, came thick and fast. There are few for example, who will ever forget the smil- ing face of Her Majesty the Queen Mother during her visit to the city in June. Those in high places said Oshawa gave the Queen Mother the most tumultuous welcome of her all too brief Canadian tour. Governor General George Vanier was here in late Sep- tember. Again it was a regal day, full of large crowds, limousines and splendid speeches. There was some news too, of interest to everyone -- the fact that Oshawa held a firm spot as a major Canadian wage earner. General Motors could be excused for taking most of credit for this. After solving the labor problems of late *64 the Motors went on to strike another sensational year. Pro- duction was way, way up on the previous year. AT BEGINNING But to start from the be- ginning, January was damp and very cold. It got off to a fine start, however, with the heart warming story of the of Glendale st. Lt. Col. W. C. Paynter took over as commander of the Ontario Regiment and there was a visit from 120 dele- gates of the St. Therese Chamber of Commerce in Quebec. February was a_ sporting month when all eyes were centred on young Bobby Orr of the Oshawa Generals. Bob- by re-wrote the OHA Junior 'A' books by scoring his 31st. goal of the season on the night of February 16. Typical- ly modest Bobby put the credit for the feat on his team mates, CITY HALL NEWS March brought big news from City Hall. The council approved a record budget for the new fiscal year of $13,784,- 000 -- an increase in taxes of 2.5 mills on residential pro- erty. Also news that the city had joined with five other neighboring municipalities to form the Central - Ontario Planning Board. i ° April saw tragedy on High- way 12, north of Manchester when four people were killed in a head on collision. Killed in this, the worst accident of the year, were a Whitby fam- ily of three and a Greenbank man. May is remembered main- ly for the. annual Ontario Regimental Ball, a grand occasion at the Simcoe st. n. Armories and attended by the town's top dignitaries. June was a good month for news, but everything. was overshadowed by the visit of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. July was rather quiet. High- light of the month was the visit to the city by the Cana- dian Navy minesweeper the St. Laurent. Thousands took the opportunity of inspecting a warship at close quarters. RECORD FAIR August saw yet another Oshawa Fair. There were not so many people-as in pre- vious years but a fine day of entertainment was laid on under sunny skies. September brought the visit of Governor General Georges Vanier. Highlight of the day was a dinner for 300 at the Genosha Hotel. October saw the city in the throes of a General Election campaign. Mike Starr was to defend his seat successfully against Dr. Claude Vipond for the Liberals and Oliver Hodges for the NDP. November saw a gala night at the Genosha when the city B'Nai B'Rith celebrated its 20th. anniversary. Mayor Phil Givens of Toronto was in attendance. : December, the last and hap- piest month of the year with Christmas and all, saw. more big news from City Hall with the announcement of a $1.7 million civic square develop- ment project. A final decision on the matter will be taken early in the New Year. oe eit a Tao. AUGUST-OSHAWA FAIR A BIG SUCCESS Thousands Revelled Under Sunny Skies ; a ; 2 e ' .
