Pro- chaska, the council - engaged architect of Project Planning Associates Ltd., said the park site "has strong natural fea- tires" and "'good plant growth." 'The 14-acre development near the southwest corner of Rit- son and Rossland Roads was discussed in detail but the only eoncrete action to be taken by the céntennial committee will be to ask city council to ap- fe. the plan: : actual development cost responsibility but future maintenance, the real expendi- ture, will become the city's," eaid Ald.

'PLANTING City 'parks 'and - property rector, Patrick Kennedy, Mr. Précheske > di-| Thought was given to the in- stallation of the. proposed $50,000 greenhouse, a decora- tive pool, fountain and wash- room facilities for a later date. Committee member Ian Mc- Nab said he was in favor of installing lavatories in the "walking - sitting' park. "Washrooms are almost a ne- cessity to attract visitors and even if it's primarily for Osh- awa residents, they haye prob- lems too," said Mr. McNab. Mr. Prochaska said the struc- ture could be talked about now and provided .for later as there may be another area in the park where facilities would be "necessary." The estimated cost of Hills and Dales has not yet been determined but chairman Hay- ward Murdock said: "Although there is pro- vision for the park develop- ment this year,. what -we. hope! is to have council approve the) early 'stages of the work so Mr. Kennedy's staff and the Horti- cultural Society can begin." Committee member Jo Ald- winckle said women's groups in Oshawa have expressed the desire to furnish plants for the flower beds and to plant a tree) Ajax Strike Halts Plant Production AJAX (Staff) -- A strike by about 400 workers -- most of them women -- has completely halted production at Centralab, Canada Lid., Ajax.

One hundred: Central Collegi- ate students will step back in time, Saturday, and be slaves for one whole day. "These kids are members of the Central band," said Mrs, Vincent Russell, of 167 Mill St. "Their .object is to raise enough money for the band to pay for a trip either to Expo '67 or London." EXPO TAPE "They have sent a tape to Expo and if they are accepted they will go there for a two- week performance, if not, they will be going to London for two weeks," she said. During the past week, the students have been busy pre- paring for their "Slave For a. Day" canipaign. "They have made posters and have distributed . 4,000 pamphlets throughout the city," said Mrs, Russell. "All of the students: had to get signed statements from their parents, releasing the School from any responsibility," she said. There is no set rate of. pay. A verson pays only what he feels he should. The students will.do almost any kind of work for a period of two hours, after which they will be picked up and taken to another job. "The police chief stipulated that two persons go to very job and their whereabouts be known at all times," said Mrs. Russell. "The principal re- quested 'tat they' go no highet an a step ladde They 'will = each job by one of six c that have volunteered their services and cars.

Anyone wishing a slave for two hours on Saturday should call, 723-7735, or 723-9667. ; "The response up to now has been very: poor, We have only two people request a slave, said Mrs. Russell. } rata "ee be. trans; te nsanduntit aL --Oshawa Times Photo dale Manor is located at the upper left hand corner.

The move came last night after the board accepted two recommendations contained in a recent re-development study of the (CBD) central business district of the city, Prepared by the planning de- partment the report did not rec- ommend the establishment of a parking authority or a levy but did suggest a feasibility study should be conducted to deter- mine if a parking ~ authority would accelerate the provision of off-street parking contained within parking garages. It further suggested a feas- ibility study of a levy. to finance further off-street parking con- tributed by taxpayers who would derive benefits from such facilities. 30 SPACES YEARLY Present parking revenues the report says provide for only 30 off-street parking spaces per year, G. A. Wandless, city plan- ning director, told the board he report is intended to em- phasize the necessity of pro- viding parking garages with the possibility of commercial development on the ground floor. He said, because the plan- ning board has a definite in- terest in land use within the CBD it is reasonable to expect that the board will be consult- ed as to the location of future rkin arages, " 4 girtin sol heard that steep.

John Brady, a planning board member, said a parking garage is in the planning stage and is expected to be located: in the vicinity of thé bus terminal. The city will have to proceed with parking garages because off-street parking lots are be- coming uneconomical, he said. Ald. Brady, also chairman of council's traffic committee, said the traffic department is already performing a job com- parable to a parking authority. He added that by setting up an authority, parking would be politician but this was not a problem with the building of only one garage. removed from the hands of the} w, aR WHITBY (Staff) -- Burgess Whyte, 24, of Oshawa, was yes- terday sentenced to five years in Kingston Penitentiary on a charge of causing death by criminal negligence. Mr, Justice Stewart at Whitby Supreme t also ordered that Whyte lose his driving licence for 15 years. In smart blue suit and white shirt Whyte had earlier in the day pleaded not guilty to the charge. The jury took 60 minutes of deliberation to decide that Whyte was guilty of criminal negligence causing the death of Herman J. Robinson and his wife Edna of Oshawa. Giving -evidence --Consiable Eric Mayne said that the case arose from an accident at the corner of Park Road North and 'Bond Street West. TWO CARS Whyte's °57. convertible, he said, had been involved in an accident with the Robinson's small sedan. : Constable Mayne testified that he found the bodies of the two dead people west of the intersection, Mrs. Robinson, he said, had been hurled 129 feet by the force of the impact. Mr. Robin- son was found 140 feet from the junction. David. Spelien, a Whitby high school student, said he was hitch-hiking on Bond Street est. He was standing near On- tario Motor Sales when he saw three cars coming toward him. He testified that Whyte's con- WOMAN KILLED, STRUCK BY CAR PICKERING (Staff) --A Dunbarton woman, Mrs. Mar- garet Baird, 58, of Highway 2, was killed Thursday -- night when she was involved in collision with an eastbound car, on Highway 401, at the CNR overpass, at Dunbarton.

A °57' sedan was in the south lane and another car occupied the centre lane. He said he saw Whyte and the driver of the °57 car pass the middle car at about 60 to 65 miles per hour.
