The two are Alfred Murray and Frank Norris, who will be available to discuss with laid- off workers how best they can be re-trained in other industrial fields. "As we understand it," said Albert Taylor, president of Local 222 today, "the men will be available well beyond ordi- nary office hours of the NES. "The laidoff workers, if they want to be re-trained, have to register and they will be guided into the most suitable field. Council Group Drafts Brief City council's special com- mittee appointed to implement the UAW proposals concerning the layoff of 2,600 workers, began preparation Thursday of a civic brief to be presented to John Nicholson, the Minister of Labor.

Ltd. rati- fied an agreement reached in Toronto between negotiators. Between Ajax and Cobourg nine stores (including three in Oshawa) reopened for business at 10 a.m. today as 32 clerks, drivers and warehouse work- ers went back on the job after staging a two-day wildcat strike. Area workers . walked off their jobs Wednesday in support of 150 co-workers in Toronto, all members of Local 326, Inter- national Union of Brewery Workers, who went on a wild- cat in protest of company hir- houses the only warehouse for beer in Oshawa. One other store was kept open in Co- bourg and others in the area closed down along with 53 of 73 beer outlets in Toronto where the threat of a beer drought was big. The warehousing company issued a statement today sav- ing that the "'major task of get- ting the beer flowing again is already under way and deliver- ies of draft beer will be on their |way to hotels today and tomor- row. Breweries have also com- menced deliveries to retail stores that are low in stock (most in that shape are in To- ronto) and every effort is being put forth by the company to ing policy. Details of the settlement, ten- tatively reached last night in Toronto and ratified this morn- ing, have not yet been dis- closed. In Oshawa 18 employees re- sumed work amidst an 'I'll drink to that' air, according to Roy W .Reid, manager of the nine area stores. He said workers seemed as| happy as usual and that there was no dissent for supervisory staff that managed to keep a Ritson Rd. §. retail outlet open during the strike despite picket- ting in front of the store.

Filling in the entertainment bill are Bob Francis, 28, who has just finish- ed a recording session in New York, and the Jimmy Dale Trio -- associated with the Canadian Broadcasting Company. OPENING The show was officially open ed at 7 p.m. by Mayor Lyman Gifford who said the domestic spectacular was a long time coming. "Tt is something that we have needed here for a long, long time. I hope this will become an annual event." During the introduction cere- mony Shirley said she drove into Oshawa and that progress in land changes and construc- tion "shocked" het. She ar- rived in Toronto by train (in stead of airplane) from New York "because it was so foggy in New York Wednesday I didn't want to take the chance it would be the same in To- ronto," she said later in an) interview. SERVICE CLUBS INVITED TO JOIN '67 CELEBRATIONS All the presidents of all the service organizations in the city have been asked to meet with the centennial co- ordinating committee. The committee has several projects that it wants the service clubs to carry as part of the Oshawa Cen- tennial celebrations. Ald. Hayward Murdoch, chairman, said last night it was important that the presi- dents attend these meetings if the clubs are to join in the festivities that will take place in Oshawa, The clubs will be asked to carry, at practically no cost, events such as a beard grow- ing contest, Miss Centennial, Mrs. Centennial, Best Photo- graph and Miss Valentine. The act is centred around Shirley Harmer, 32, a singing 'Times, Union Sign Contract | The successful negotiation of} a two-year contract with the Oshawa local of the Inter- national Typographical Union was announced today by E.

The Whitby mayor made a motion to table the proposal for further consideration at a spe- cial board meeting. He said board members should be appraised of the city's progress in negotiating the pro- posal with the CNR. He sug- gested that if a north - south route is closed that another road should' replace it; noted that an alternate north - south road would be in the township; and said the Thornton closing contributes substan to the CNR and that he would like to be assured by the' city that it has considered negotiating wi! the CNR about a possible sub- stantial financial contribution Station May Open: ee toward the cost of constructing another north-south route. ~~ for prolonging the posal but he favored discussion of future road f terns, He said the two ma were separate, EARLY REPLY _ rp Mayor Gifford said city council was hoping for an early reply from the board so it could ceed with the proposal at 'a@ council meeting Monday, «-.

The letter Pr. Dymond follows: Four weeks have now passed since the attack on my son while he was a patient at the Smiths Falls Ontario Hospital School My' husband and I have still not received any explanations os) attract from Healih Min- ister Dr. Matthew Dymond. Does Dr. Dymond not think that we as parents deserve an explanation? It is surely a simple courtesy. Yet for some strange reason he does not want to. involve himself with the parent' of the child who was attacked. d We surely are the most im- to portant people in this matter Yet, Dr. Dymond has avoided us as though we are a pair of common troublemakers. My husband and I have said over and over again that our only interest in this matter is that nothing similar ever hap- pens to another child at the school POLITICS Over and over again in our fight for an open inquiry into this attack we have run head- long into politics. With some we have ap- proached for help it has been politically opportune for them to help us. With others it has been politically embarrassing, and they have avoided us. Surely this is a sad reflection on the constitutional rights of a democratic society For those in power in On- tario, the incident involving my son has been politically em- barrassing It has not been my son and bis attack that bas been bother: ing them. It has been how quick they can smooth and white-wash the whole matter off the record. This is disgusting. Dr. Dymond has said that Paul's attack was "an acci- dent and probably unavoid- able." We don't believe this for one moment. Dr. Dymond admits that there have been five accidents at the hospital in five years. He omits to say that from the third week in July until the 14th of August there were two drownings and my own son's attack. Dr. Dymond has admitted that there are 845 ward staff at the Smiths Falls school. They are divided into three shifts Then take off the ones on sick leave, days off and holidays and the ratio of patients to ward staff is 15 or 20 to one RIDICULOUS As for the Health Minister's submission that the school's record of accident and trage- dies compares favorably with any community in Ontario 1 would like to say that this is ridiculous thinking. There is no traffic at Smiths Falls, there is no industry, no medicines within a child's reach. It should be an ex- tremely safe place for a child, Yet, for some strange reason, these tragedies happen. Why? Dr. Dymond has said that a goodly number of the patients at the school do not require a great deal of supervision. Why does he think people like my- self send children to the school. We sent Paul to Smiths Falls so that he would receive the full attention of qualified per- sonnel. If these children do not require a great deal of super- vision then why are they at Smiths Falls. I repeat again that my hus- band and I have the best in- terests of the patients at heart. This is .why we continue the fight for-an open inquiry into the school. We do not want to see anymore suffering on the part of any patient at the school, at 86 Russett Ave. The 'Lions Club intends to) facilities provided on After the charge had been |laid Sept, $ Carnochan was re- quest for Lions Club of Osh-|leased ". . . then while he was, . 3 cently purchased by the club|at the funeral home," the taw.| ore oe eee Soe ae yer told court, "and at Col.
