Liberals Sponsor Injunction Forum A forum on "Strikes, Injunc- tions and the Law" will be spon- sored in Oshawa May 4 by the city's Liberal Association. William Selby, president of the Oshawa Liberal Association, said today that a four-man panel will discuss the issues at the forum to be held at the United Auto Workers Hall, Bond st. Scheduled to appear are Al- derman Clifford Pilkey, presi- dent of the Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council; Professor Mark McGuigan, a faculty mem- ber of the University of Toron- to Law School; Professor Harry Arthurs, Osgoode Hall Law Schotl; and a representative of the Canadian Manufacturers As- sociation. Mr. Selby said that the speak- ers are all well qualified in their jrespective fields. Alderman | Pilkey has been involved in the \labor movement and in civic government for many years, Professor McGuigan is inter- ested in the field of civil dis- obedience while Professor Ar- thurs is an acknowledged expert in labor law. Management's viewpoint will also be well re- presented."' The association president said that the forum has been or- ganized by the executive com- mittee as a result of discussions with association members. "This is a subject of public interest right now, in view of events at Peterborough and here in Osh- awa."' "We do not wish to promote any particular political view- point but seek to present the issues clearly,"' said Mr. Selby. Little Enthusiasm Evident For Right To Fire Leaders Oshawa Liberals are un- moved by a demand from To- ronto's rank-and-file Liberals that they have the right to fire their party leaders at least once every five years. The move was made at a Toronto and District Liberal Association policy conference. The meeting called for a massive strengthening of grass- roots control over elected party leaders. The move was generally con- sidered as the first shot of a rank-and-file rebellion which could transform the structure of the Liberal Party. GRASS ROOTS "It is an idea, yes," said Dr. Claude Vipond, unsuccessful Liberal candidate for Ontario Riding in the iast federal elec- tion. "I don't think, however, that there is any crying need for such a right. "T know that if I want to say I have a say in the party affairs. "This, of course, is not like the Conservative party. The rank and file of the Conserva- tive party, are, I am _ sure, eager to see the end of the Diefenbaker era. This right, I think, would be better suited to the Conservative party." William Selby, president of the Oshawa Liberal Party put it this way: 'I don't like to see speakers were followed by a|' She Oshawa Gunes " OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1966 groups of teen-agers in CAS care| Higecm - {would live with a foster couple.

The library, in fact, increased its book circulation by 3,074 over last year's figure for the corre- sponding month. A total of 47,656 books were circulated in March of this year in comparison with 44,582 circu- lated during March of last year. Adult reading accounted for the majority of the increased circulation with 24,045 books loaned during the month, an in- crease of 2,323 over the 1965 figure of 21,722. The bookmobile department nearly doubled its March, 1965 circulation figure of 2,568 by lending 4,406 books during March of this year, an increase of 1,838, REFERENCE ACTIVITY While the boys and girls de- partment recorded a decrease of 1,087 books borrowed under the March, 1965 figure of 20,292. Reference room activity les- sened during March with some 800 people making use of the room compared with 1,000 for the previous montt. Acting Chief Librarian, Enid E. Wallace, said this was prob- ably due to March examina- tions being held and the com- pletion by many Grade 13 of their English essays. party leaders imposed from the top.

"We have periodic leadership conventions and the rank-and- file have their vote then. "I object to this word 'fire'. You can't fire a man like Pear- son.

' The bicycles, all found in the Oshawa area, were sold at a reasonable price. 'They all went," said Danis $a vepiuty morning. '"'Now we start collect- ing them all over again." In the music and film de- partment circulation for March, 1966 also increased in compari- son with last year's totals. There were 411 records bor- rowed during March an in- crease of 262 over 1965 and 206 film showings were made, an increase of 70 over March, 1965. Library Circulation Climbs Despite Din Of Construction | Popular reading trends dur- ing March indicated the leader for several months, "Up The Down Staircase' by Kaufman has had to give way to Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood". The book, "The Trial of Ste- ven Truscott' by Isabel Le Bourdais will probably be in demand for many months. In some quarters. of the city shopping carts are becoming a litter problem. People are finding them in the oddest of places. Some weeks ago a police con- stable removed one from King st,.e. near the Four Corners, How it got there no-one knows. It just appeared. The Oshawa Creek is a fre- quent dumping spot for the wheeled buggies. Most, however, are just left. Three of them were left in a line across Park rd. one night a couple of weeks ago. REPAIR BILL It was just a youngster's prank but it cost a driver $50 to repair his car after running into one of the carts. The situation worries at least one local supermarket manager. "Those carts sell at $40 apiece," said Ken Ogden, man- ager of the Loblaws Store on the Oshawa Shopping Centre. "We are losing them all the time. People just push them away and leave them. We have to go out with a truck and pick them up every now and again. "It's not only me; but near- ly every supermarket in the city."

The donation was made at the current school, Bloor st. e., before a meeting of the crippled children's parents' council. Here, left to right, looking over a model of the new $250,000 centre are: David Gray, president of the parents' council, who accepted the fire men's cheque; Kenneth Greentree, chairman of the fire - de- partment's financial promo- tion committee; and Vernon Johnston, president of Local 465, Ontario Provincial Fed- eration of Ontario -Pro- fessional Firefighters, who made the presentation along with fireman Green- tree. Officials say they hope the new school and treatment centre will be completed and in use by next September. --Oshawa Times Photo Shopping Carts 'Go Astray', Worry Market Managers ciate the trade of these people. We do. It is just that I wish they wouldn't go running away with the carts." "If you take a look at the apariiuents behind the shopping centre you will see a lot of the carts. People just push their groceries home and leave the carts outside. Some push the carts right up into their apart- ments." Once they are abandoned, Mr. Ogden went on to say, the youngsters take over. "This is when the carts get damaged. We have found thein in the woods with the wheels gone. It costs a lot to repair the carts." His store, Mr. Ogden said, was the only one in the city with signs clearly stating that people who push shopping carts out of the lot will be prosecuted. "We had to do it. We have lost some 20 carts during the last few months. That is $800 to replace them." GM To Remedy Linkage Defect Defects in acceierator link- ges for 200,000 Canadian-built 3M cars will be remedied, a Ceneral Motors of Canada spokesman said yesterday. The cars -- 1964 and 1965 Chevelles and Beaumonts and 1965 Chevrolets and Pontiacs -- with power glide automatic ransmissions have had prob- |lems with sticking accelerators, he said. GM dealers across Canada, he said, will contact owners to jhave them present their cars |for a splash guard to protect | the throttle linkage. He said the company decided to call back the cars after the throttle linkage stuck on six GM cars that operated in deep slush in the United States. Flying Circus Outing Planned The Rotary Club of Oshawa, in conjunction with the Osh- awa Flying Club, will hold its fifth annual Flying Circus for crippled children May 8.

Ontario's OC On U.K. Tour, | To Visit Welsh Regiment Members of the Ontario Regi- ment gave a surprise send-off to their Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. W. C. Paynter, last night. Col. Paynter was leaving Malton Airport for London, En- gland, where he is to begin a three-week tour as guest of the Welsh Regiment to which the Ontarios are affiliated. For some days Col. Paynter had been wondering at written orders he had received from Command HQ ordering him to travel in full uniform. He asked around and could find no reason for the strange command. His senior officers, knowing the reason, kept suit- ably mum. Last night he found out the reason, for as he left the ter- minal building to board the air- craft he found a quarter-guard of 16 troops lined up on either side of the boarding ramp. As he boarded the ramp the troops came smartly to atten- tion with bayonets fixed. Ob- viously moved by the send-off Col. Paynter shook hands with his senior officers before leav- ing. The guard had been smuggled into the airport with the help of the RCMP. Col. Paynter was kept wait- ing in the VIP lounge while the other passengers boarded. During his three-week tour Colonel Paynter will visit Eng- land, Scotland and Wales. He is travelling with his wife and Major and Mrs. N. F. Wil- ton. The party leaves Malton at 9 tonight. The alliance between the On- tarios and the Welch dates back to 1928. On arrival at London Airport Colonel Paynter will be met by a delegation from the Welch Regiment. On. May 2 the party leaves London for Warminster where the First Battalion of the Welch will troop the colors. May 7 and 8 will be spent in at the Welch Regimental head- quarters in Cardiff. During the visit Colonel Paynter will carry greetings from Mayor Lyman Gifford to the Mayor of Cardiff. On May 9 and 10 Colonel Paynter will visit the Welch Brigade Depot at Crickhowell. The party will return to Canada May 17 after a trip through the Midlands to Scotland. A composite scout troop from the Montreal area will join Osh- awa and District scouts when they hold their annual Camporee at Camp Samac, May 13, 14 and 15. District Scoutmaster, Kevin McInnis said today, he expects more than 500 scouts at the camporee which will be broken Hospital Reports 363 Discharged Three hundred and seventy- one patients were admitted and 363 were discharged by the Osh- awa General Hospital during the week ending April 23. There were 54 births. Ninety-three major and 122 minor operations, as well as 85 eye, ear, nose and throat oper- ations were performed. There were 150 treatments and exam- inations. Thirty-four casts were anolied. The physiotherapy depart- ment gave 708 treatments and made 642 visits; while the occu- pations therapy department han- dled 122 cases down into four sub-camps.

For evening entertain m ent, Tax Returns Deadline May 2 Oshawa and district residents will have additional time to file their 1965 income, tax returns. Revenue Minister Benson said in the Commons yester- day, last year's income tax re- turns may be filed without pen- alty up to midnight, Monday, May 2. This will give those who have not. filed their income tax re- turn an extra two days to do so. The normal deadline is April 30, but this falls on a Saturday camp fires will be built to go this year one- bridge by traffic ts to handle sum- mer traffic while the permanent bridge is under construction. The new two-lane bridge is expected to be completed by Sept. 30. Fred Crome, city works com. missioner, said four factors con tributed to the cost increase: ~--the provincial highways de partment requestec the bridge be raised an additional two and one-half feet; --final soil tests showed more channel improvement was re- quired to protect against eror sion; . --the cost of the temporary bridge and special bus service to the lakefront area; --a general trend to increased gud for this type of construce ion. NO BIDS AT FIRST Mr. Crome said when ten- ders were first called for the project no bids were received. He said other agencies are re- ceiving tenders 25 percent to 100 percent above their estimates. Because the project was de- layed by a lack of bids, the city will not receive an estimated $10,800 winter works subsidy. A forgiveness under the Muni- cipal Works Assistance pro- gram amounts to an estimated $11,000, and the highways de- partment subsidy amounts to $56,300. The balance of the cost will be borrowed or paid from current revenue. Council ap- proved the revised method of financing. Racing Driver Collects Trophy It was a busy day for Osh- awa racing driver Dale Neil, of Lansdowne dr.

(Oshawa Times Photo) Goodwill Week For Kiwanians Oshawa Kiwanis Club, at their regular meeting Tuesday, ob- served the annual Canada-Unit- ed States "'Goodwil! Week" with a program somewhat different than the traditiona! pattern of patriotism and friendly neighbor policy, so often followed. Robert M. Winfree, Senior U.S. Consul to Canada and Economic Officer at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, was the guest speaker. Speaking about the new Auto- motive Free Trade agreement, recently resolved and currently in operation, the U.S. Consul expressed the opinion that not only was the pact working very well but that it would be increas- ingly better in the futqre. He quoted some statistics of the past year, to indicate the mu- tual benefits being enjoyed by the two countries. About the United States "Guide Lines", established as a directive for U.S.-owned subsid- iaries in other countries. Mr. Winfree pointed that these were not mandatory but voluntary. He said that through these guide lines, firms and organiza- tions and their personnel, were applicable, were only being ask- ed to do what a good citizen in any country, would be ex- pected to do,
